Inspiration required - what sort if vehicles you are working on?

[M.Red]

Here there mechanics, i wonder in what type of vehicles you are all working on. maybe we can inspire ourselfs with some new ideas.

I got tired of trying to process the trees loose on the ground or in a cage. so I started a trailer to weld the trees to the front of and then some wheels to roll it forward as its processed.

[M.Red]

every one has its own style of doing things in Scrap Mechanic - thats why i enjoy this game so much

im currently thinking of a tanker like vehicle for water ans chemicals - maybe i'll start making some notes. it should be a 6 wheeler with a sliding out container/pump construction

hopefully axolot while implement "T" junction pipes for containers

maybe style can be diferent but time for processing can compare
if for exemple someone made a drone than auto harvest tree and rock he will spare time more than me

thats true - but im not one if those who must compare effectiveness
im effective but i must not run the world record in beeing the fastest or uber efficient

obivously if you get fun at making a task by yourself even long and complex this cant drive you to make a drone where you will not pilot
i noticed many post of people developing more realistic tree processor even suboptimal than a metadesign that had spared time
it matter of taste
if we all play scrap it not for the same reasons
my first point is to make walking machines
and i prefere a crane with tools than any other equipement
because i enjoy to pilot them
i buyed many excavator simu all more unfun than each others
and here i can make my own crane design
and i have may step to accomplish before starting
what let me lot of time for think about it
but at the end making a crane in survival serve the freedom of making more
and this as no other game can provide as satisfaction

[M.Red]

i agree here, Scrap mechnic allows you to build your own sort of stuff in whatever shape you like. i guess at some point i will create something more complex like a walker or full harvester of some sort. for now i play around with ingame blocks and parts to see what i can do and check out if i can optimize or improve things.

lets see what comes up with future updates

[tripodalt]

at the begining i was no sure than all in one vehciule have no bearing trouble and impossible
so is just the limit i supose its on purpose
i made a frame using the lightest part of the hgame the little long tube and the bearing failed only in the biggest slopes
tought i still can improv the suspension and remove some useless frame parts
the walker look nice but super slow
i study diferent option the walker with wheeled legs
and the giant walker that pass the common rock barrier tought its veru high

I have basically build a tank with all the attachments sunk into the body. It's a killer.

you mean creative or survival
is that kill from far
show us a video of eficiency

[M.Red]

ive testet the whiteknight today against tapebots and farmbots - was so damn fun XD
Tapebots aimed for me while the taperolls bounced off
the farmbot ignored me so i ran him over and sawed him off

was like bot soccer XD

[tripodalt]

is that the same on pictures
because i had bet the tapebot can hit your head
i thinked an additional layer was required
is was in first view or external
it surprising than farmbot dont attack maybe you let him not the time to see you
and you mean the farmbot not resit long at a saw blade then
is you used an electric motor fully boosted or what
you had to make a video
its rare
where do you meet both of them
is it the warhouse after montains where feature redfarmbot
i heard about

i have rougly enough height to let the tapebots miss - build by luck i guess
ive cylcled the farmbot several times - bumped him around - he didnt seemed to react to me

he already not so much dangerous by normal
maybe you have to test repetability and report it as bug
probably a feature of your car make you undetected
you devcommand banner or such

[M.Red]

what i can tell for sure that dev commands arent the issue

[tripodalt]

as you dont mentionned if the banner exist in the world maybe its not a target
tought the tapebot react this probaly another cause
but still a bug to report and demonstrate by video
maybe you can disembark for know if when walking the bot see you
then reembark for know if the car hide you
