Hey everyone back with more Scrap Mechanic Survival! Today we are back and rebuilding some existing vehicles as we currently are battling game performance! Although I really enjoy the transport trucks it is time to hang up the hat on them and work with dedicated vehicles for each of the different things we need!

I have a tip for you that I learned from a Blender 3D modeling course: every time you model (in your case, build) something, that should resemble a real thing, have a reference picture on your other monitor or your smartphone. Not because you don't know what does a truck, an anvil, a car, or a spoon look like, but because there will always be something a bit off if you make it without the reference picture. In your case, the truck really does look a bit off. I don't think I could point my finger on it, but there surely is something.

You're right about the cab. It needs to sit higher, because the huge fuel tanks are underneath the doors (usually providing a step to get into the cab) Also there should be 2 more sets of wheels, in front and behind those, that sit a little higher for the 5th wheel.

@steeljawX 4 жыл бұрын

I'm pretty sure, even if it's a designated tanker truck or container truck, that there's a small gap between the cab and back container. So putting a single block gap between the tank and cab should help a little on the looks. There's also the top "cap" for filling the tank that would just need a few blocks on top to do and one of the pipe valves as a "lock". Also, while it's not plausible with the size of the blocks, there's usually (not always) a skirt going over the wheels on the back.

@indisputablefacts8507 4 жыл бұрын

I think it looks great! Hope it does good for your lag. My framerate just craters every time I move two *heavy* objects close to each other. I can play bumpercars with smaller cars, but heavy stuff, no. Suspension or no suspension. It's clear to me that I need to create a parking area a good distance from the building area if I wanna have a good time. Even when heavy vehicles are not bumping into stuff they can sometimes just randomly cause the framerate to crater. I'll be building stuff and then, randomly, I get slammed with lag-o-rama until i put a vehicle on the lift, then it's better. Then I take it off the lift and it's a crapshoot whether the frames will go down again. My guess (or maybe faint hope?) is that it's the same bug that causes bearings to go wonky on heavy vehicles.

Unitaskers are the way to go. Minimal is best. Used to use truck and trailer for fruit crates.. went with a hollow square with wheels and no suspension. 5x8 crates make up the body. 40 crates without any lag. Have 6 fridges up front with drivers seat.. can prolly stack a few high. Taken over 80 crates at once. Set up 10 vac pumps on bearings on a movable rail at each turn in spot.. fire 10 fruits/veg at once for a crate every 10 secs or less. Better than a pump on a vehicle.

Kan it would be awesome and maybe efficient if you were to add to any item storing vehicle (combine and tanker) a system that hooks up to a pipe that leads into a mass storage warehouse that connects directly into the craft bot, the system on the vehicles would allow you to quickly transfer items inside the vehicle into a mass amount of storage shaped as a warehouse and then that feeds into the craft bot making life easy, and making more room in the garage.

You're missing fuel tanks on the bottom behind the cab. Other than that,I think a small gap between the cab and tank would help as well. And as far as your parking lot goes, I think a Japanese-esque car ferris wheel would be a great way to store a number of vehicles in a relatively small footprint.

If you look on real trucks everything sits so high up. The tank would sit up a little higher and the cab would also be higher but fenders would stay. Under the cab doors they would have tanks or tool boxes to get up into the truck, the way you have the cab running all the way down to the bottom of the fenders is what makes it look off.

I would say move the wheels back a little further. Raise the cab and tank. Put like a platform under the tank because you don't just put the wheel attached to the tank. Also make it like 7-10 blocks longer because it still looks short. After that I think it will be perfect.

You could change the truck so that it's like a hooklift, where as long as each part has the connector, the hook can attach and lift the part onto the bed of the truck. You would probably just want to weld the attachments on instead of making the mech for the purpose of less lag.
