NOTE: When I said you don't need scrap metal, what I meant is that you don't need to go looking for it to farm it. If you kill the haybots you encounter and refine the ones you run into along the way, you'll have enough, so you dont have to go killing haybots for metal!!
Hey moobo! Your release day streams are no longer available on your channel as far as I can tell. I was watching them and would like to finish doing so. I would appreciate it if you could indicate how I may watch them, perhaps a link or something? Thanks in advance!
Pro tip: find a island (in my world there is one near the mechanic shop a little way down the coast) make sure you plant your crops in the center so bots can't spawn on the island (mine is a small medium island that has quite a bit of room.) Once that is done you can eventually build a bridge for vehicle access.( I have a draw bridge to keep bots out.) If done right you will not need to deal with raids.
As far as I know, all the worlds are the exact same, so if you go into one spot and there's a bunch of cotton, there will be the same amount in a different world (This was pre-release so it might've changed a bit)
@@luckyblockyoshi Thanks for clarifying, it just seems the general landmarks are the same and everything else is changed and I wasn't sure if it was changed or not
Pull the wheel out, get the wheel and the bearing, then put the wheel on the ground. They might have updated something, because I think you only get one bearing now. But still very worth grabbing.
just the tip mind you: When building your car place a ring of blocks outside your wheels whenever you can place corn on this ring, It serves 3 purposes: 1 added armour for the nasty little wheel stealing tote bots, 2 the corn attracts the wocs who will drop milk. This if useful if you are climbing through a POI and come back to the vehicle and have a stack of milk. 3 Hay bots will also attack wocs before they attack your car. but when they attack they get pathfinding issues as the line of blocks puts the seat out of reach of their weapon. If they attack the outer ring they will have to break the corn as well. This can buy you some time in an attack.
Update for the new beacon system: place the first Master Battery in the spaceship. There is a terminal on the opposite wall from where the battery goes. Get another bucket of water and put out the fire in front of the terminal, and then active the terminal. (When Moonbo recorded this, that terminal did not do anything. Now it activates the log, and the beacon management system is part of the log.) When you get to the Mechanic Station, there is another Master Battery in the middle tube next to the station. Be careful, there is a haybot in there with it. This will add maybe a minute to your time, but will give you access to the log and beacons.
i love how he says oh scrap towns are easy to find. when i play i was walking for about half an hour found like 5 big red farmbots and like 3 warehouses and one scrap town with one tiny little house
Edit: Patched on May 12 patch 0.4.2 i found a bug that allows you to make free large chests (provided you already have one and a connector tool). but here is how to do it works 100% of the time. Make 1 Large chest Make 1 connector tool Place connector tool in chest Delete chest to carry it Press RMB to drop chest Press RMB to pick up chest Chest will go in hot bar But you will be able to place 2 chests back down 1st chest is the original and the second is an empty copy. Repeat it only duplicates the chest not the items inside. and idk if it works for any storage that you can put in a connector tool and pick it up.
A good tip that my friend figured out is to walk backwards while swinging your hammer when fighting haybots. That way you can hit them without taking damage!
@@theun-knownmusician5468 Bearings haven't been broken, you have to use two on one object now on bigger things. Also, why the hell would you need saws and drills in creative?
very good info i wish i had known when i started my world yesterday, ill keep this guide in mind for the start of my multiplayer world with my friends.
TIP: you can eat/drink while refining. You also might want to switch the key binds for the mouse buttons use shift+LMB to get RMB to work so you can hold RMB to pick up stuff instead of spamming “E”
Hey Moonbo, what me and my friends did when starting out with a car was make 2 scrap engines, hook one up to a switch, and whenever we needed a boost, we would flick the switch
There is a specific direction you go from the crashed ship, as the bird flies, to reach the mechanics shop. I believe what i did was put the ship to my back, and travel passing the starter gardening pondon my right. If you go straight in that general direction, you WILL find the shop. What youtubers arent either noticing nor explaining, is that each new game is completely randomized. Only choice locations, such as the crashed ship, the two buildings near it that this youtuber explained, the packing stations, the warehouses, and the mechanics shop are set in stone, so to speak. Everything else, including OTHER wrecked buildings, is completely randomized. For example, at the mechanics shop on one of my saves, there is bodies of water the exact same short distance on the back and front of the shop. There was barely enough room for the road. On the other that same location had, within minimum draw distance, a warehouse (the corner of, but still) no less then 4 wrecked buildings, a wheat field, and a hill to the shops right, that has 2 of the wrecked buildings, with cotton on the other side. Its like, THE best world spawn, especially if your like me, and forgot that drills were a thing, so all your metal came from hay bot arms. Edit: but in both of my saves, and my younger brothers save, the mechanics shop was located in the same direction, for the same distance, from the crashed ship, in all three saves. So, even if the warehouses and such are randomized, either my scrap mechanic ga,e have some serious mechanics shop location luck, or at the very least those two locations are fixed. Other stuff is randomized. So as far as youtube videos detailing where to find something (such as cotton) they are completely useless, because that is one of the things that are randomized. As for locations, most of those are fixed.
18:22 It saves operations done on the CPU and GPU. You can’t force load it to do that, unlike Minecraft Java Edition (Vanilla Command /forceload and Modded Chunkloaders). My tip: Sunshakes act as Medical kits! They heal you in addition to feed you. Save them and use them as needed.
This is a scrap man strat but you can use your lift to fight haybots and youll be safe however the lift does go down when they attack it so have it keybinded to a key easily accessible
To expand on this, you can make a really simple suspension putting a free bearing after the steering but before the the axle that the wheels are on. You will need blocks going above it a short ways to prevent the "suspension" from rotating fully
@@theun-knownmusician5468 I want an option that's just the survival world but with a creative mode, so I can enjoy the world space and the water physics unhindered and only have the option of adding a health bar if I want, but this world can only be unlocked by defeating some sort of boss in survival, now that would be cool, build a special becon, power it up and this robot mothership comes in, you gotta fight through farmbots and turrets to shut down the mothership, high risk, very high reward, like a ton of resources maybe and if you take the time to build a new tower you can get even more resources, but if you defeat at least one you should get that option I mentioned before, I'd be incentive to play survival and would be hella fun too
Here's a good tip. At the scrap garage ther are 3 pods. These are perfect for storing item by placing them down since you dont have much storage in the beginning. Use 3, 3 randomly spawns a haybot. You can seal the door by placing blocks just outside or inside the door. Once sealed you can enter through the windows using your lift. Great strat for the beginning.
I spent 2hours looking for the items to make that vehicle you made. I wasn't near one of those scrap towns. I finally made the car and went and found a town. I got out of my car to go in a building and a hay bot jumped on my car and destroyed in I would say 3-4 seconds. It blew up except a wheel, bearing, and pipe. Motor, battery, seat, and everything else gone. I was in the middle of the street and walking around the area for several minutes before hay bot came out of nowhere. It was actually on the car and the car was moving before it blew up. I don't think I'll play any more because I don't like mobs just popping on me randomly and ruining hours of work.
Corn can be fed to woks to get milk (3 corn=1 milk) and can be quickly and easily grabbed while enroute to early game locations, this milk has little food value but lots of hydration and its basically free and easy food. Plus getting in the habit of doing this makes it so you will have good habits for once you have a cook bot
17:41 I usually would rather do all wheel drive or front wheel drive because sometimes with rear wheel drive the car slides all over the place and its hard to make it go forward.
I can't even get this game but I love it and this quick guide. The only thing I would change would be to refine the metal instead of putting it on your car (that's extra time and fuel wasted)
Tip: the best place to put your farms in on the top of the mountains that surround the trader, since it is flat enough to farm, small enough to have the bots not spawn on it, and steep enough that the bots can’t get up. The only problem is the hat it is annoying thing to get the water up there but there is care feed water in the traders place.
best beginner guide video so far!! thank u very much for showing it so simple. So i can build it the same without any problems. :-)) So my own first Drillcar will build today! Soo amazing.
I started with a glut of chest dropped food and had not spotted the lake (went back in the ship for a scavenge before following the big obvious path of fire and dirt) Later starved to death many a time before finally figuring out the farming mechanism, ark needed irrigation and poop(fertiliser) yet all the places I got seed were land locked. Took n mi e longer than I like to get a bucket, get water, realise that bottled water is useless without a water canon. Built my across farm in the lake edge after quickly getting annoyed by how far the garage was from the water.
Something I found super useful at the start, if I wanted to mark a place, I let myself die there, and then left a stack of corn or something of little value in my lootbag.
only tip i can think of is farming on a small island rather then mainland as only the green farmbots can swim (keep in mind all types spawn but only the green ones can swim) :P
There is no need to save the first battery. There are two batteries; If you go into the first building it is on one of the floors, you'll see it as you go up. This is the battery that should be used in the spaceship. The second battery is found in the middle capsule at the Mechanic Station, beware though. there is always a Haybot guarding it. The first one should bee used for the spaceship in my opinion because if you need to craft anything while your in that area you have it. and also there is a terminal next to the broken spaceship seat that needs power but is currently unusable.
I have a wheat field near my mechanic shop i use it for killing haybots and i let them see me then run out and fight them while they are down because i throw water on them that is how i get my resources
heya Moonbo T ... I'd do o7 or o/ normally, but I heard you had a T bug... hee hee .... You mean the "Full version that we have realised so far, more to come, Game."? Haybots will strike at you, they stop to do that, if another one runs in front because you are still backing up and they are still chasing you, the striking one will stab the closer one in the back, that actually bounces it forward, usually as it pauses to strike, which means it "catches" you as it strikes, as SOON as you see it raise it's fork, go Right.. it will "usually" miss. I have a single room on my RNGod Created map that has 13 of them! I learned fast. ALSO, if there are more than four, ALWAYS turn away, so you are running Forward, don't look back, know you are faster than them Forward, always, SO zig zag through a couple trees or rocks, then turn, this separates them into groups of two, apparently. Which gives you time to take one out before the others catch up...
I feel like it would be cool if the master battery acted like an RTG (Radioactive thermal generator) and SLOWLY creates power constantly for electric motors to use. Of course, it would be slower than solar panels if they add that in the future, but it's a nice backup to have and can even be used in tandem with a normal engine in a 'hybrid' setup.
As someone who just came from Xbox, fresh from Minecraft. Fresh to steam and PC. I almost name worlds new world when I just make a world on scrap mechanic. But thanks for the toutorial!! I messed up so bad in my first survival world I just made a new one and did what u did Edit: (I play steam on my moms old windows 7 work computer that crashes me out of the game probably every time I play😂)
There is a battery in the middle "pod" by the mechanic station (it also has a haybot) use the battery you get in the begining to power the ship and get the logbook.
Will be good if the developers add a block to prevent some "chunks" to be unload. You place it, and set that area to never unload, so you can venture "far from home" and when you return all is done... maybe a bit complicated?. I dont know, im not a developer...
Survival has just been released, for all we know boats are coming soon and there's going to be randomly generated islands. I'm pretty sure one of the devs said the spawning island is just... Well... A spawning island, then there's random stuff after that
@@flyingmunk8956 well for one the packing station always seems right down the road from the trader. Im not 100% sure thats consistent but it seems to be. Also just using some kind of noise to make the environment would do a lot to shake it up.
No point in saving the battery, the 2nd area has one in the bunker. Takes more time to run up the fort to get the first battery then to just grab the second
Oh also, if you don't have a spudgun yet and you find yourself fighting 2 or more haybots, you can stand on your lift and elevate it to about 6 or 7 blocks, then hold crouch and safely hit the haybots with the sledgehammer without losing any health. This makes them much easier to deal with. And if you ever lose your vehicle, hold the connect tool out and look around for it with that. It has a surprisingly long range.
meanwhile I built a car out of cardboard blocks as it was the cheapest 😂 and rode on it with scrap wheels to the mechanic shop. god it was a bumpy ride 😂
there are a couple other spots in the starting tile, including one with another bucket that are not bad to hit either (usually set up some plants growing while I do a clearing out of the area) before moving on.
NOTE: When I said you don't need scrap metal, what I meant is that you don't need to go looking for it to farm it. If you kill the haybots you encounter and refine the ones you run into along the way, you'll have enough, so you dont have to go killing haybots for metal!!

Tip: When refining resources/bot limbs, you can still use your hotbar as normal allowing you to eat while you wait.
You should take the scrap wheel at the farm area, it also gives you 2 bearings, even if you don't use the wheel
Pull the wheel out, get the wheel and the bearing, then put the wheel on the ground.
They might have updated something, because I think you only get one bearing now. But still very worth grabbing.
It's only one bearing

heya Moonbo T ... I'd do o7 or o/ normally, but I heard you had a T bug... hee hee .... You mean the "Full version that we have realised so far, more to come, Game."?
Haybots will strike at you, they stop to do that, if another one runs in front because you are still backing up and they are still chasing you, the striking one will stab the closer one in the back, that actually bounces it forward, usually as it pauses to strike, which means it "catches" you as it strikes, as SOON as you see it raise it's fork, go Right.. it will "usually" miss.
I have a single room on my RNGod Created map that has 13 of them! I learned fast.
ALSO, if there are more than four, ALWAYS turn away, so you are running Forward, don't look back, know you are faster than them Forward, always, SO zig zag through a couple trees or rocks, then turn, this separates them into groups of two, apparently. Which gives you time to take one out before the others catch up...
Well I wish I saw this sooner... 9 Hours in and my drill barely works
Imma just restart after seeing this. Thanks moonbo 😁
I feel like it would be cool if the master battery acted like an RTG (Radioactive thermal generator) and SLOWLY creates power constantly for electric motors to use. Of course, it would be slower than solar panels if they add that in the future, but it's a nice backup to have and can even be used in tandem with a normal engine in a 'hybrid' setup.
Spent my first half hour getting ready to find mechanic station, then an hour fighting and dying to clear the haybots out of the mechanic station.
I used this a long time ago and I still have the server thanks for the tip!
19:41 I think that craftbot spawner thingy is called a Dispenser Bot.
As someone who just came from Xbox, fresh from Minecraft. Fresh to steam and PC. I almost name worlds new world when I just make a world on scrap mechanic. But thanks for the toutorial!! I messed up so bad in my first survival world I just made a new one and did what u did
Edit: (I play steam on my moms old windows 7 work computer that crashes me out of the game probably every time I play😂)
I've learned that the master battery is always somewhere near the mechanic shop anyway (usually in one if the houses). So no need to save it really.
Awesome Idea, this helped me alot! I still use the battery for extra weight on my vehicle :-P
Save BATTERY for what? Wait a second... Wait a second... Weight!
I COULD WATCH THESE FOR A YEAR STRAIGHT
Super Guide! Thumbs Up.
You should have used the bearings from the wheelbarrow and the soil from the farming place to take with you
Not sure if this is just me, but when I took apart the wheelbarrow at the beginning I didn't get any parts so it may be bugged
There is a battery in the middle "pod" by the mechanic station (it also has a haybot) use the battery you get in the begining to power the ship and get the logbook.
Will be good if the developers add a block to prevent some "chunks" to be unload. You place it, and set that area to never unload, so you can venture "far from home" and when you return all is done... maybe a bit complicated?. I dont know, im not a developer...
I love how most games say useful things with loading screen tips and scrap mechanic is like *FAILING IS ART*
Your mechanic = Rhett from Good Mythical Morning
i kinda wish the game tiles where just a *little* more randomized.
Survival has just been released, for all we know boats are coming soon and there's going to be randomly generated islands. I'm pretty sure one of the devs said the spawning island is just... Well... A spawning island, then there's random stuff after that
What do you mean? The tiles them self I get are the same. But they are placed pretty random. The maps are different from each other at least.
@@flyingmunk8956 well for one the packing station always seems right down the road from the trader. Im not 100% sure thats consistent but it seems to be. Also just using some kind of noise to make the environment would do a lot to shake it up.
@@Yipper64 not on my world i am yet to find the trader location and have been exploring tons
@@Tyler-on5se hmm. When schools out im definitely going to play this update and see for myself.
its called "BOTCrafter-BOT" Not "BOT-Spawner" XD
bot-craftbot?
Overseer 88 Why can’t Creative get working saws and drills :( also bearings have been broken
T Thung same I’m not sure
Actually, it's called the dispenser, check the "Crafting recipes" file
Its a dispenser-bot actually.
massive help thank you so much :)
MOONBO NOTE: the scrap wheel on the wheel barrow has bearing on it you should take it!!!!
I think moonbo should make a truck so he can have his craftbot with him at all times
Don't forget to eat or you'll die like moonbo
thanks, that's a nice guide for survival
No point in saving the battery, the 2nd area has one in the bunker. Takes more time to run up the fort to get the first battery then to just grab the second
You only need to use one water bucket on the battery fire in the crashed ship instead of two, if you throw it at the right angle.
Oh also, if you don't have a spudgun yet and you find yourself fighting 2 or more haybots, you can stand on your lift and elevate it to about 6 or 7 blocks, then hold crouch and safely hit the haybots with the sledgehammer without losing any health. This makes them much easier to deal with.
And if you ever lose your vehicle, hold the connect tool out and look around for it with that. It has a surprisingly long range.
Make a car using only 3 wheels, like a trycicle, it's saving resource.
If you have a lot of buckets put all of them in your hot bar and scroll through your hot bar to fill all of them
meanwhile I built a car out of cardboard blocks as it was the cheapest 😂 and rode on it with scrap wheels to the mechanic shop. god it was a bumpy ride 😂
Great guide.
there are a couple other spots in the starting tile, including one with another bucket that are not bad to hit either (usually set up some plants growing while I do a clearing out of the area) before moving on.
Thanks!!
If you turn off Depth of Field, the game becomes a lot less blurry.
Moonbo:steal all the wood
Parents:stealing is not ok
duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude, what have i been doing, thanks
You don’t have to save it for the bit station because if u look In
The spouses next to it there will be a master battery
Have you tried to put a bed in a car? You'll always respawn in your vehicle, it's really useful when exploring
You are so lucky with the bee wax...
Video title: exists
Me, who only played like 3 hours: ez pz lemon squeezy
there is a second master battery in the little cylinder shaped rooms next to the mechanic shop
Scrap towns are op, I got 11 stacks of wood from one of them, I got super lucky and I think it glitched
this helped a bunch, thanks
Very helpful! Thank you!
