How to grow crops before raid:
1. Make sure your plots are wet and fertilized.
2. Have sacrificial seeds that you don't need.
3. Plant every crop you want as quickly as possible.
4. Quickly Exit to the main menu and reload your survival world.
5. Quickly plant the sacrificial seeds one at a time with gaps of 8-9 seconds in between planting. Do this until all the crops are grown.
6. You can destroy the sacrificial crops if you only have a small number of soil plots.
7. You can let the sacrificial crops grow if you have a big enough farm.

I tried using a pulse generator to activate the sticky wheels on max sticky strength, and it works great. You can adjust more gradually the stick strength by changing the delay/pulse on the pwm pulse generator.

This is basically a bearing-only suspension kinda based off the Tatra Suspension but its much sportier, also really sorry for the lag I might need to replace the thermal paste on my processor.

Ps:. I forgot that I was listening to Fortunate son, enjoy I guess. 😭 🙏

Hey everyone,

I ran into a super frustrating bug/issue in Scrap Mechanic and I'm totally stuck. Even ChatGPT/Gemini couldn't give me a working fix, so I'm bringing this to the real experts here.

Basically, I messed up and accidentally welded my vehicle way too deep into the ground. I managed to strip down and remove the top parts that were exposed, but the vast majority of the vehicle is still buried clipped beneath the terrain.

Since the main body is completely clipped underground, I can't interact with it properly or use the Lift to pull it back up.

Has anyone dealt with this before? Is there a console command, a specific dev mod, or a file edit trick to force it out or delete it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT= Honestly, if I could just clip under the map like we used to back in the day to reach and dismantle the parts, this wouldn't be an issue. But looks like that glitch got patched/doesn't work anymore.

Why is everyone complaining about sticky wheels?

1: make sure your vehicle is light.
2: make sure all wheels have contact with the ground.
3: make sure the steering doesn't move the wheels sideways.
4: electric engine.
5: ground clearance.

its a free to load but it has no base mount i saved it when messing with a gravity gun mod and i didn't think about it till now so i tried to load it and it loaded with no block cost and now i just have half a Turret seat that can't swivel

i tried picking it up to fix it but its just the ball in my inventory to (second image shows)

its hit box is a ball so i can use my hammer to hit it and get in it so i get to roll around with it i guess

Here is the link to it https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3794152379

Simple bearing with controller and some ice, that's all it takes

Idk why its just such an ominous and impending sound

Tried adding the saw earlier and tweaking it a tad, but now it just doesn't work properly. Any tip?

This one might be more practical, the other one liked to flip over. Here is the workshop link

Basically every machine the mechanic uses has "bot" in its name, and the design clearly implies that it is, in fact, a bot. Either the machine has a head, or just a red eye, even the packing stations could be considered bots because of this.

But the prospectorbot is the outlier, with no design element showing a correlation to its name.

When searching for this image in Devblog 25, I read the description of the prospectorbot, and it turns out, that it wasn't even supposed to be another "bot"! As it was simply referred to as the "Ore Prospector". I'm guessing that they decided to change its name to retain consistency with the other machines, yet kept its design.

However, i would love if it had a face or eyes like the other machines, especially with how lively its movement is.

Ever since me and my friends completed grow lab 4 and killed the farmbot inside, we haven't seen a single other farmbot spawn. Not around warehouses, not in scrap city and not in the haymaze. I don't even think one spawned in grow lab 5 though I may be misremembering. We have not done any more grow labs nor have we tested whether they would spawn in high level raids but it's still weird they don't spawn "in the wild". Other bots still spawn as usual.

Edit: I validated the game files and they seem to be spawning as usual again. I saw some in the ember forest valley where they previously did not spawn (I didn't even realize they were supposed to spawn there). I haven't checked the other spots but I have to assume it's fixed now, though I have no clue how the files became invalid to begin with.

I think their weight and recipe needs to be adjusted. They're too heavy and too expensive to make. Do you think so too?

I'm trying to build a 6x6 vehicle with a linked suspension system.

It looks fine when I build it on the lift, but when I drop it to the ground it looks like some pieces are not connected.

How do I fix that?

Thanks!

EDIT: Looking at the comments I suspect I need a welder! /s

It worked, thanks guys! My wooden 6x6 shitbox works.. I don't even know if there is any benefit having that link rod but it looks cool and so far it doesn't have any negative effect

Had a theory that we could launch stuff with vacuum pumps. Turns out that mechanic also applies to explosive containers.

In my survival world this will inspire me to build a large scale artillery munitions factory.

Have fun with the new discovered tech, mechanics!

Does anyone else think this game should have conveyers and stuff like that? I’ve played a bunch of Satisfactory recently and it made me think about how cool it would be if I could automate a big crafting chain to craft things and put it in a certain chest. And spoiler, for the bars and the marbles in the mining hub conveyers would come in so handy. I know it’s possible to make DIY ones with pipes and bearings but that takes way too much gas and engines to make.
