What should we build in Crashlander next?

11:32 What you've essentially created here is a pump & accumulator system. The pump feeds the accumulator which keeps your flow at a constant, usually faster, rate than just off a pump.

A really simple solution to the first (and last) row is to just move the hole one block forward for the first row and back one block for the last row, so there's only a single block gap instead of two. Instead of the sensor resting under a hole, the hole is right after it starts moving. Assuming the trigger is at the hole and not between (sensor to NOR to cannon). It can fire one block later because the plot is 3x3, not 1x1, and the water splash is also an "area" not a single block, so it doesn't need to be exact.

If you leave the chunk with the pistons extended, they will be extended when it loads; if it loads with the logic telling them to contract, they'll immediately start contracting and vice versa for the reverse situation. There are two ways to optimize this, you could set it to twelve hours apart to minimize the average time until it waters them or you could try to set it up to increase the chance of it watering them at a specific relevant time. The former seems more useful for full automation, as watering them at a specific time is irrelevant if you aren't going to also harvest them immediately.

I was waiting for it to click. Yeh, it's about the chest being a big buffer, and utilising the flow rate to the watering container to compensate for the size of field.

With the hole in the ramp I think you should put a giant K on one side and an N on the other. The bridge would be a lower case A unfortunately.

Shouldnt the piston logic gate be xor, so if you want to water the crops and the alarm clock is on you can flip the switch and it retracts 28:28

Thank you for the interesting video! Good automation!

I think it starts watering again as soon as you entered the chunk, and thus by the time you could actually see it, it was fully watered and extended again. I think you can sort of hear the pump going at around 23:40 when you are driving back (it is VERY subtle though)

Thank you so much fkr your videos kAN, it really brightens up my day and gets me through it all. Thank you.

I'd like to see you make some automated base defenses, so you don't have to jump in and gun/cut down a bunch of cows every time you want to farm. Unfortunately, just like the base game, this mod doesn't really challenge you on the survival or base defense elements, and the gunplay gets a little bit stale. Also, since you mentioned other mods in the last video, I'd be interested in seeing you check out Fant Mod. It's not new, by any stretch, but it's still being updated and it incorporates a lot more in the way of new mechanics and mechanical pieces, like a more diverse set of weapons, more vehicle components, new tools, and new enemies.

You have a holy garage now.

15:52 that’s what I did! I basically have a seat on top of a big gas tank covered with suspension glitches and thrusters on the bottom.

If you want to get around the first row issue you can use a fourth piston, it can be level 1 since you only need it to travel 2? blocks. Then you set up the rail of cannons 1 block back so that the sensor gets to run over a trigger at the start and end. Also, I have never had cannons hit every crop plot on large fields if they are set high enough to work under them.... You might get them accurate if the cannons are less than 15 blocks up, but then you need the cannon rail to retract all the way out of the way to one side.

imagine 4x (or more 😬) large chests, connected to a single fuel container, all full. You could make it a "near infinite" flyer, for sure.

You should just use a piston to keep the first hole closed and it opens when you start the system so it hits the first plot.

@25:00 you don't need a memory bit, just move the sensor so it's not exposed to the detection block when the pistons are at full extention/compression smh... I learnt that from you lol

I put a timer in between pistons set to the exact time a piston extends. They go one by one and it's beautiful

With the way you currently have it set up, it will only water your crops if you are at the base at times when the alarm has changed state. If you are only ever there while your alarm is on, it will never water. e.g. with it currently set to be on from 0400 to 2000, if you are at your base at 1200, to get it to water you need to be at your base at some time from 2000 to 0400. If you are only there between 0400 and 2000, it will never water. What I would suggest is to make it so the timer is on for a short period, put it into a not gate, then a rising edge detector, and put the output of that to a timer circuit which stays on long enough for the pistons to fully extend. That way, if it remains loaded, the alarm goes on and then off, causing the output of the not gate to go off and then on, with the change to on causing the edge detector and timer to extend and retract the pistons. And if you leave the area and come back, the not gate turns on, triggering the rising edge detector and also causing it to get watered. At least that is how I think it should work.

23:52 The reason the pistons were still extended is because the game "remembers" the state when you leave the chunk, and loads in that state when you return to the chunk, and the logic hadn't changed its state yet, so no movement was required.

If you move the first and last sensor holes so that there's only 1 block between them and the next, then the first and last plot rows shouldn't get skipped on the first pass.

The manual switch should go into an XOR gate, not OR. Otherwise you can’t manually water when the pistons are extended, which is most of the time. Also I’d really like to see that system with the memory bit, shouldn’t take too many gates and would be more reliable than your current system: right now if you leave your base some time between 04 and 20, and come back the next day also during that time, the crops will not get watered for more than a day.

Don't forget to connect the alternator to water supply.

15:02 wooow 🤯

It would be cool to see you make a autonomous roomba logic robot that harvests the crops for the farm

kAN: no that idea is stupid Also kAN: oh that's awesome I should of done that sooner

To avoid damaging ur water pump, u can go underground using ur lift n place it there. U just have to somehow make the pump n ur base one creation.

i'm still recommending you the scute-enhanced drills. i know they are redundant given the spectacular performance of your current mining rig but i promise they'll be fun, as long as you remember to bring chemicals

the missing may also be from the movement speed. the drops may be getting too much momentum from the pistons and occasionally drifting past the plot.

kAN I believe that your watering system is off by 1 block on the left/right axis and that's why it is still missing occasionally :)

The missing is probably due to the speed the positions move vs the speed the cannon shoots you probably could set up a controller or timer to help regulate the speed

Add lights to the farm to make it look like a grow house

Did you ever hook up the battery generator to the water container again? You might have to add another water container to the large chest just for the battery generator.

I wonder how long Kan's gonna say that he needs to organize his inventory... :D

Are the wolves , bears, and bulls scared of saw blades and drills like the bots in the base game? A do not see a point on a timer on the watering system. Just leave the water on, and put a switch to water when you plant. You could also have a 4th piston in the system so it have enough room to start before the first plot and go to just past the last plot. Literally the piston only needs to go 2 blocks so it should not need to be upgraded. Can you put a sensor at each end of the system to make it go from one end to the other when you press a button... or maybe go out and back when you press a button. The other thing I was wondering is if you had that extra piston you could add a planting and harvesting system. Can you use a bunch of T parts and just have say one chest and connect all the pipes to that for 2 rows. You have what 15 plots wide, so 30 vacuum pumps, 30 T pipes, maybe 4 elbows and a couple of filters. I ran a system that had 6 chests with vacuum pumps harvesting, 6 water pumps, and 6 chests vacuum pumps to plant. I had 2 pistons and I think this let me have something like 8 rows. I just pushed a button and let it go. I usually had it grow the makings for vegie burgers with 2 rows of carrots, 1 of tomatoes, 1 of beats and 2 of potatoes. This game me a lot of extra potatoes for my spud gun too. Most playthroughs I am lazy and just do a 5x10 plot with a row of 5 water cannons in the middle and put a bearing on either side to oscillate the pumps from 60 degrees back to 60 degrees forward using a controller.

Kan, Can you remove a bit more concrete around the ladder hole in the garage floor so you can jump onto the bed on the ground level like you used to?

You should put an xor on the piston override instead of an or so you can also retract them

If you slow the pistons by one or two clicks it should stop missing soil plots.

@kANGaming, If you tweak your watering system to start 1 before the first spot that needs watered, and stop 1 after, it will catch the first row in either direction each time.

His name is kAN, and he is back with more crash landers.

Hi kan

we will always be pumping -Kan 2024

moving the holes one block back and the sensor not on a not gate will fix needing to prime the first plots

Couldn't kan just use the alarm clock as a means to "pulse" a logic signal to an OR gate for the initial water shot? The memory bit seems a bit unneeded. Personally, no offense or anything, but using the alarm clock instead of say. . . a looping timer. . . it just seems kinda. . . unwise. Using one alarm clock means it only goes off once a day. A looping timer means it goes off every (set amount of time). Chunk loading doesn't matter if the intervals are frequent enough. Like, we SUPER improved our water load times that I don't see why we WOULDN'T take advantage of it with more frequent watering. It's not wasteful if your refill out-paces the crop watering. . . which would be defined based on the frequency/length of the looping timer. My point is, you can HEAVILLY optimize this system in VERY simple/easy-to-setup ways.

Is there a way to play Scrapmechanic with all the Crashlander's productions, and the tree saplinngs, but with regular bots? I find the wolves and bears waaaay to ez to deal with.

You should make that manual trigger logic gate xor Atm while its on most of the time you wont be able to manually trigger it because of the alarm clock so the switch will do nothing

you can use a mod to plant crops on blocks instead of just terrain.

Iff you could set the time about 4:00 till 4:02 it will be like a pulse when 4 o'clock hits it will go and about 2mins it will return back

I'm curious as to why you upgraded the width of the ramp, but didn't move it such that you didn't have to constantly dodge a rock every time you used it. Seems like simply moving it to the other side of the garage, any side where it can fit correctly, would be better than dodging the rock.

For the first and last row, couldn’t you just have a block that’s rotating on a bearing which would cover the hole for the sensor when the pumps reach the end and then uncover the hole just before the pumps retract (maybe use a controller) and a similar thing for the extension

Pretty sure you miss watering because the pistons is slightly to fast and doesnt always line up overshoots the soil try like lower the piston speed with like 1 or 2 notches since you have 3 pistons the watering header basicly moves at the piston speed x3 minus whatever the friction the rails reduces the speed.

box of shame

Possible solutions for missing first row when watering, move the hole for the first and last one block. The first row closed to piston move the hole one block forward. The last move the hole one block back.

Dont you need an xor gate for the manual swich because if you leave the swich on now the automatic wont work

3:44 Your watering system is misaligned one block from the crops

7 minutes gang

Does this mean you will avtually grow plants now?

Should've left it at 04:00 to 16:00, waters every 12 minutes.

the farm misses because it is still to fast i think, can you make that when first piston finishes his extension it triggers a sensor for second piston and the same with third one and by moving piston 1 it deactivates 2 sensors and 2nd and 3th piston go back as well

I could be completely dumb with this idea... but Why not add one stage 1 piston so that it will start b4 the 1st trigger on both sides....

kAN you can stop the misses by slowing the system down. Like extending one piston at a time.

hi

I think why it misses a plot is when it uses up a stack of water one pump misses getting water then it goes to the next stack of water

25:50 or you move the entire system, a couple blocks back towards the tree

I’m gonna take a guess kon that the odds of watering it 100% are an RBG thing or rng

Why doesn't Kan just keep the watering system primed, when he used 2 switches? 15:30

Hi Defence system for farm

The fact that the watering system still misses bits is very strange and frustrating. There is no reason for that to be happening... unless there's a bug in the game itself. Devs?

0:42 your reasoning of four component kits to say 12 to 16 Capone kits makes sense kon gaming that just my point of view on your statement, other of yours may differ from you and me, but what you’re saying on the intro of the response for the whole not using pistons makes complete in other sense and quite frankly I agree with you on the not using pistons once you explained it the only thing that was gone through my hole is why did you not do the symmetry on both sides for the hinges but you explained it in the last video that it was able to work fine with meeting a second hinge like that first one on the opposite side and when I heard that I thought well if he doesn’t need to make a second long wood hinge on the opposite side to hold up the door then that’s good for him, especially if it’s still manages to maintain the weight of the vehicles crazy piston idea on a different sidenote would be a sliding piston platform into the garage for your hover vehicle if you didn’t do it on top of the staircase area where you were going to use all that concrete or stone or mentioning in the last video and the reason why I said! crazy kan it’s because I’m not sure myself if a you’d be able to get a single or double pit it in platform that would hold the weight of that however vehicle that can go in and out of the garage without colliding from the floor garage into the ceiling clearance wise but like I said crazy does that mean you have to do it? No, not necessarily it is your play through after all you’re serious videos as well. Hell, I don’t even know what I’m throwing out There would even work only the scrap mechanic expert who played the game would know if what I’m throwing out there in terms of suggestions would work that included you kan gaming

it annoys me that the water cannons are a block or 2 too much to the side of the plots

When are you going post railroad online content

First!!!

If you actually read every comment respond with a donut emoji

kAN, you should set the alarm clock to be half a day long to maximize the chance it hits an interval. The way you have it set up now, if you leave before midnight, and return after 4 AM it will miss that day's watering. Conversely, if you set it up to be 00:00-12:00, or 06:00-18:00 you would have to be out and back longer than 12 hours to miss a watering schedule
