This is one of the big reasons I like scrap mechanic, where in other games resource gathering is just break resource -> raw resource, in scrap mechanic, resource gathering is not just a task, but an engineering problem ; there are many ways to go about doing such a simple task, and while some ways are obviously more efficient than others, no one method is THE most efficient method.
Totally
there are methods that are many times more efficient but yeah
True
@@Josh-oc7ib I don't understand what you're referring to, I never referred to any specific setup.
@@durgun8247 he claims there exists an objectively most efficient setup.
whether he means "absolutely" or "currently", I don't know.
18:49 I actually forgot you’re Canadian until that moment
I Agree achtuly oooooooo
What apart from his obvious accent......
I also thought this was going to be a fail. Now I gotta try this for myself :)
I try all of this stuff and always fail when I'm able to do mechanisms that are not beginner by any means.
Oh my gosh I was bored and literally just checked if Kan uploaded something new. Perfect timing I would say.
Same
Yea me to
Same but with a little difrence. I just funnished watching a video and BAM there this video was
16:09 Kan: "like a crombine in this game is..."
Me: Lol crombine.
Crom: **up b to the blast zone**
Is this an insult?

😁
kAN: This is a good mining vehicle. I will finally have resources!!
Rocks: Oh No
Maybe add two more pistons to hold everything in the front with a short width so you can press a button for switching to lower ground sweeping. For battery-making, ScrapMan made a sweet glowbot feeding mechanism.
@Computer Boy It needs both. Chemicals are easier though because you can setup a vacuum pump at a chemical plant.
It's over Rocks, kAN's got the high ground!
Ironically, the rocks always spawn on hills.
Leave the speed on the pistons low, but turn the length up to 5 or 6 so the pistons won't be able to lift the harvester even though they are always on the ground.
Wow, 6:35 is the first time I'm really realizing how atmospheric his garage is at night, weird.
RangerEX587 Zuga ikr! Could be better imo if the lights where yellow/orange though
I thought this said "Combat Harvester"
Kan need to make a Combat Harvester now...
1. Move driver seat to a side
2. mount a 360 rotation turret on top of a couple of extendable pistons.
And you have yourself a co-op "COMBAT" harvester.
Cho Kyrie, problem
1. Any movement would require the other player to fix there aim
2. There isn’t enough farm bots for it to be worth the parts
3. Requires your friend to man a turret that isn’t useful
it’s better to just make the miner faster.
Lol
I mean, yeeting bots into the air sounds like combat to me
Multiplayer Monday Idea:
Human cannon Competition
Build cannon that can lounch your character at targets to land on
Launch yourself into the air and try to hit tnt with your hammer mid air
Why not put adjustable suspension on the truck? If you do you should have the front and back on separate buttons to extend just in case you need to “aim”
Why does this comment say it's 12 years old
Clik wtf
Clik Wow I forgot I left this comment, it’s been 12 years since I’ve watched this video. How’s it going?
Clik one of us is an idiot
@@handsomejack4947 hmm
I still hope for a Multiplayer Monday sub series where you guys go to each others Survival maps and show each other your builds.
THANK YOU KAN! So many other content creators have been relying on Metal 3 as "weight" and I've been sending my hand through my face further and further pointing out that Concrete is the heavier material even though it has more friction. It has a little less durability, but that's the trifecta of the 3 mats; concrete is heaviest, wood is lightest, metal is the most durable. BUT EVERY CREATOR IS USING METAL AS WEIGHTS AND THEY USE TOO MUCH OF IT!!!!
Sorry. I'm just overwhelmed that a creator recognizes the in game stats for what they are. But thank you again, Kan. Great video, I've got a dumbed down version of something like this (no moving arms or limbs.) It works great to get through rock piles, it just needs a guaranteed way to remove the final resources out of the way.
Also, once a refinery bot is taking resources from 1 collector, it won't take resources from any other source save you shoving it in manually until that designated collector is either removed or emptied. That being said, it might be better to have something like 3 refinery bots per collector (overkill yes, but it'll keep the process moving).
Use controllers they spin the drills fast enough to brake the rock
Was about to say the exact same thing.
or do they
Adrian actually, he said brake, if he meant break, he’d say break
I was gonna say this too but they actually spin the drills with more power (not faster) and they spin the drills at the speed that its like the rocks are butter. And you won't use any type of fuel to drill.
has to be level 5 though and max speed, doesnt work with any other speed.
I have ran combines my whole life so just an idea on the sides of the combines their is a panel that lifts out that reveals the gears so why not make that into extra storage
kAN: in this episode, we are going to build a better drill machine
Next episode, kAN: we are are going to build a new mining machine
Next episode, kAN: we are going to build a new drill machine today...
Don't forget the lowboy trailer for trucking this bad boy around. also a controller and bearing to lower the "header" (in this case the drill bits) would help instead of turning up the pistons.
Kan, if you want to have a super low sweeper mode, you can put the whole front assembly on a bearing or one extra piston extender thing set to one length. That way, you would have a super low sweeper mode and all of the fingers would be able to contour to the ground without causing much lag.
Make the drills bearing/controller driven. Works so much better than any engine powered drill. Rocks don’t fly all over the place. My miner has bearings to tip all the drills 65 degrees in the front toward the ground on a push of a button. Nice build - you are crazy fast when you build, very skilled! Thanks for great content.
For even more efficient mining you can add another refinery, but 2 containers-1 refinery is best ratio, because you refine while you drive from node to node, so 2 refineries, 4 collectors is perfect for this car (it looks to me). You can make car wider than miners. And you could put 2 more collectors on mining arms at sides, just put 1 or 2 blocks higher on side arms, so it don't interfere with other arms when side arms are lower than middle arms, and put collectors wide enough so they goes side of 2 middle collectors when arms fold up, in that way you get additional benefit of collecting more in front of action...and both refineries can take from 2 middle collectors while side collectors are down with mining arms. And put 3 chest at back, so you can go for long mining sessions.
I think raising the drill mechanism/assembly up higher and angling the drills downward would help break up the small rock bits on the ground and also allow you to contour them more.
5:04 "its gonna end up looking like a combine"
my head: oh a combine solider in half life 2
Backboards behind the drills to keep the rocks from jumping onto the back of the pistons. Reduce power/speed of pistons so they sag just a little more and may get those buried rocks w/o needing to adjust them.
thank you for the toilet seat trick. Was able to fix a problem i didnt even know was there. No need to get into huge detail, but it worked like a charm. Extremely useful.
*kAN makes 3 drill fingers*
kAN: “i have been spam building them”
I'd wager he tried a few designs off camera to figure out the best dimensions for ground clearance, angle and such.
Soken50 it’s not that hard to just make a piston powered hinge, there isn’t anything special to it. There is many designs already using the same concept.
@@ermimprettysigmaphonk never said there was anything special to them, it just takes a bit to find the right distances between the joints to get the right angles.
Bearings work better. I use 4 arms with a drill on each end. And 2 drills on the bottom of each arm. You put the arms on bearings and adjust the arm to go to 90 degrees to straight out. No pistons needed and works better. The only thing I have not done is use suspension on the top drills. I don't use them to prevent lag. But, it looks like I will try it. Anyrate. Great video. Glad you got a good miner! And I appreciate that you made the trailer and small scooper set up. It was very cool to see. I know it did not work out. But the fact you did it is awesome.
I like scrapmechanic your imagination is free to roam even knowing that I have the old version still by any challenge you are able to be as creative as possible there is no limit.
What do you mean that you have the old version?
What do you mean that you have the old version?
@@_Ordinace_ probs a cracked version
KAN is really good at building unnecessarily expensive and ineffective but kind of unique things :D
Something you might want to look into is the ability of pumps to place blocks. You can make self repairing walls.
i built a pretty awesome design, the front of my miner is like a vice. 2 pistons spread apart the arms and on the inside of the arms is a 2x2 of drill heads on each side. i drive up to a mound, open the vice, wrap around the pile and close it. it clears a pile in no time at all
If you were to make a Tank Steering system, with the small wheels, and mount them on sport/short suspension, you could eliminate the problem of getting high-centered on the bumps those rocks sit on.
I do love the combine's terrain hugging feature. A "Splash guard" is a great idea too. If you could figure out a way to make a bulldozer spade that ushers the rocks into the drills as well, it'd be crazy. Though, I'm not sure how the heck that would work, with how the drill-armatures move.
I suggest the name: "Combine Rock Harvester"
really, I mean he said it in the video...calling it a combine?
Captain obvious
@@qoufu Thanks Lieutenant Obvious.
wow. such original
Congratulations what do you want a cookie 🍪
I was ready for another "cool but not totally functional" machine but I'm blown away by how well that worked for a initial design. The fact that you need to consider a second refinery just to keep up is a sign this is a game changer
I just have a bar with 5 drills on it on the front of my vehicle and I can angle it 30 degrees up and 30 degrees down. It works great and will not lag your game. I have 3 extra bearings underneath and they are all connected to an electric motor. They are on button 1 and 2, so they work with the mouse buttons. I can pull the 5 drills off and put 3 saw blades on without having to connect motors or controllers and cut wood instead. I do like the idea of shocks on the drills though. I might try that. I would have sunk the resource collectors and refinery into the base of the vehicle as they are so heavy and it will lover you center of gravity a bit.
I think having a nice combine could work well on a large farm where you also use a large planter. You could also then have a fun watering vehicle.
Kan you should make a four wheeler and have a small trailer on the back with storage boxes to go exploring and have storage
I wish there were blueprints in survival so then for Multiplayer Monday there could be a mining vehicle race, LOL. Everybody brings their mining vehicles from their survival worlds.
you should put a diagonal section that forms a triangle that leads up towards the drills on each individual finger so that the blocks that get flung up hit it and tumble back towards the drills
Use another 6 drill bits above so you can extend it to where you cannot reach
Add cactuses facing down on pistons under each drill to add more friction near the front. And you can use a switch to use then whenever you need it.
You can simulate number logic by putting a controller loop and using a rising monostable (pulse at the start of input) from a button to power it to “toggle” what the piston is at.
You could probably put the drill activation and the drill piston extension on the same switch.
Also, you could put your back wheels on a short piston to dip your drills down for sweeping.
Kan, a level 5 Controller on max speed is the perfect speed for drills and doesn't need batteries.
You and your creations inspire me to build amazing things like automated turrets or even automated farms that knows when and what to farm
I like how Kan talked about the yeety drills r a weapon ignoring the fact that his vehicle had a wall of deadly drills
Nice build I use something similar. One piece of advice make it as light as possible. At the rate you can harvest you will run out of the easy formations on flat ground real quick. Trying to get traction on a slight slope with 2 resource collectors and refinery is bad enough you won't want to carry all that cement go T3 wood you will thank me.
Loved the finger design
That flying woc: It must've been the aliens kidnapping it with their flying saucer beam.
I think you could do a similar thing with saws... just mount the saw blades on top of the fingers. (so they angle downwards towards the ground)
The saws will aim directly at the stumps to chop down the trees, then you drive the blades under the logs, and the sides of the saw blades will chop the logs into pieces.
You could probably even use that exact vehicle... you'd just have to swap it between saw blades or drills.
Heck of a design dude! Love it!
i want to thank you for this video as i was having a problem making a good miner
You should make a bulldozer to push wood into a side open semi trailer to bring it back to your base for refining
I've seen a video of a miner that's basically the reverse of this. It reaches over the back of the rocks and pulls the drills towards itself, breaking the rocks and dragging all the rubble with it.
:o that's what I thought of when imagining a better mining vehicle than kAN's previous one
Make a rail turret but pointed down, and have it move from one side of the wall to the other and stop if it detects something under it. Then, it waits a few seconds and starts firing until it doesn’t detect anymore. Simple auto turret mounted on the wall.
Should add a couple saws on arms to get rid of trees that are in the way or harvest trees
You can add variable piston length with a controller.
Button click:
1) 4
2) 5
3) back to 0
Hey kan make a mobile base like an rv or something that has everything you need a bed storage and food/fridge it might make going it and gathering resources for a while easier so you don’t have to come back to your base every time you run out of food or spuds
I think maybe raise up the drill fingers... dringers if you will... a bit, and raise the ground clearance on the whole vehicle. It'll let you put your drills at a more aggressive angle if you need to, but also it's better for avoiding bottoming out... and looking more like a combine. You know it's a good design when you can double your processing. If you're getting enough resources I think it's time to build a bigger, better, badder base don't you? I'm thinking a nice warehouse/garage on wood support columns over the water. You can't just leave all those precious vehicles outside all the time. The paint job will get ruined from the weather and bird crap!
Biggest issue I have when it comes to mining vehicles specifically is the fact so many of the stone outcroppings are on raised slopes & the grass traction/friction level seems to be set to "go cart on ice". Huge vehicle made of almost entirely concrete and it still sides down an almost non-existent slope.
This is the best mining vehicle I’ve seen. I’ve been so excited to see you build the best miner. Took some time, but damn is that quick and easy
Scrapman has a really good and effective drill vehicle..not that efficient but it works great at its full capacity...
Could you use the drills from under the ground and drill upwards? Thats could maybe prevent the glitch them getting stuck underneath
The thing is, if you push a drill above the ground, you cannot pull it back down under the terrain.
Another idea for a harvester would be a flying one that drops down on the rock and mining them top to bottom
The thing is, 99% of combines use back steering only because of how large the front wheels are (they support most of the weight) and have almost 0 room for any kind of turning, but it's still an awesome creation ngl
Maybe, when you have a second row of drill bits on top of the 1st row, then there wouldn't be as much degree floating around, like the tiny rocks that fly over them (excuse for my englisch)
KAN is totally the CZcamsr!
Dude ur sooo good u should do a vid were u help people in survivel
If you still want to make something with a bit more "realism", you can try using the harvester part as an attachment for the front of your truck that you just weld on when you want it, and have the collector/refiner parts on a trailer or something. It might be a little less efficient, but it would be pretty awesome if it works, and would look great.
You should try to give it more ground clearance because it'll let you get iver the hill easier and you cac set the pistons to 5 which will be aimed more into the ground.
Kan talks so clearly that auto generated English in the CC options actually displays the correct words
(Tip)
if you turn off reflections it brightens the game it makes metal look weird but its much brighter at night
a lvl 5 controller is fast enough to power saws and drills. should reduce battery usage alot.
Your series has to be the best! The way you use a truck for stuff is amazing! You should make different truck with maybe more wheels?
Been waiting for this vehicle since your first drill arm.
You should put the back 2 wheels on pistons because the rocks are on a mound and the vehicle struggles to climb up it, but you can just push the back up. If that makes sense.
Oh and double wheels.
This is what i would imagine SM survival to be like. Reusing farm vehicles to mine
Physics always work at 90% that is a nice build
Kan should make tractors and a huge farm with all the soil he could find with implements and a combine
You should put two refinery stations on it.
I'd look at what Scrapman did, all of his parking is over the water, but out of reach of the green bots, and it looks cool, but it would need editing to fit to your base
Kan your rock harvester might work butter as a tree harvester also you should make it were when you are harvesting make the bottom higher off the ground and put like two drills underneath so you just drive over the loose rocks
If you drive below the ground you can put metal 3 around the wheels and be completely safe!
Finally kan has a good enough miner
Combine Harvester! that can mine with drills and cut wood with saws.
kAN: ... Tree cutting vehicle...
Me, an intellectual: Tree Combine
Game: NEW META ACHIEVED
maybe you can make a 3 position drills by combining the piston system with bearings in a controller on that arm thing that the piston pushes
Make the back wheels small and remove the steering from the front wheels. Combine harvester!
Please like so he can see. Kan, power your drills with a maxed out controller. It's more than enough speed, and even more power than a motor.
Make an oversize load trailer to move the miner, and your next tree harvester!
Hey kAN! I see your garment boxes. Another unboxing plz.
I've watched the entire series from day 1 and I have a solution to the trailer theme. The Semi with trailers would fit perfectly into a theme with farm style vehicles. The Combine is a great start!
If you want the whole front to have variable height, put it whole on a bearing that is on a controller; Or use a single piston.
Make a giant bowl with drills underground. Then raise it up at a rock formation
Wow, kan smart. Never thought of a harvester for mining
I would recommend checking out W4stedspace for a vanilla large wheel design (it uses 8 small wheels 3 bearings and pipes) as well as a suspension system (the larger wheels need it to prevent glitches) the large wheels will make your build look more like a combine if added to the front and it will help you get over the terrain around the rocks.
Hey Kan, if you want to paint the machine do it in big patches because it'll only cost one paint bottle. And it you want to make the machine a crop haverster you should turn the drills sideways.(I know you'll have to make new fingers, but it'll pay off. Also make two drills turn on each other. Like this 🎧🎧🎧. Each thing that goes on your ears are the drills). Bye Kan, hope you like my idea
