Building a Transport Truck for Big Fruit Deliveries! (Scrap Mechanic Survival Ep.9)

Hey everyone and welcome to Scrap Mechanic Survival! Today we are building a transport truck to start the big rig company! It is finally time to start transporting fruit to the trader and the best way to do that is to go big or go home!

Kan: im probably not going to starve this episode

Thirst: i would like to introduce myself

"To show you the power of the weld tool, I cut this truck in half."

I have 2 suggestions:
- You should have all engines at tier 5, i did some testing and ran all tiers of gas engine side by side, each with 1 fuel can and set to the lowest setting. I started them all at the same time with a switch, all first 4 tiers ran for around 3:40 minutes while the tier 5 one ran for 17:40 minutes (I think this is a bug and i dont know if it has been fixed already)
- You truck needs a pulse circuit attached to the vacuum pump so you dont need to spam the button when packing fruit.

I absolutely LOVE this truck you built. I work in the trucking industry, so I was surprised to see that u actually built a big truck instead of a regular truck like others do. I drive the yard truck at the local terminal and move then trailers around the yard, back them on and off the bay doors. I really respect the time and effort you put into building the truck. Esp with you having a trailer the way you do. I'm happy to see someone use an actual big boy truck to ship stuff. You gained big respect points from me.

I was dying when you was trying to back the trailer onto the pad of the trader. I really enjoy backing these trailers all over the property and even do difficult maneuvers to challenge myself so I can learn more and get my skills higher. Much respect, and thanks for actually building a real truck for shipping.

I’m suprised how complicated stuff you can still build in survival! Keep up the good work!

The scrap mechanic Canadians:
Moonbo: hits farm bot, oops sorry dude
Kan: runs over farm bot, ahahaha get rekt

[andrewkim]

There are wedge pieces by the warehouse entrance on the swinging arm gates that can be picked up. Like for kan to see.

[Panthera]

i'd love to see like a armored up "war-trailer" with a big spudgun turret to mow down bots with

[overconfidentcz]

Wait.. Kan... has food now. That blows my mind🤯

[THESLlCK]

TIP: For the trailer pistons, just mount a sensor directly onto the piston, facing at the ground, make it sense just one block in front of it. When you detach the trailer and it falls on the ground, it will automatically hoist itself up to above hitch height. Attach a gate and button to turn it off when you tow it again!

[scottloug]

You should use a detector to make the trailer stands automatically lift when it senses your truck underneath it so you don't need to get in and out to attach the trailer.

[Kumbunchamushroomppl]

Damn, I need a blueprint video for that exploration buggy

[IBurntMyWaffle]

Farm bots: imma destroy dis mans crops.
Kan: hold my logic gate

[probablynotyou]

Kan: this is big truck
Big Bertha: pathetic

[Nozerone]

I think there is to much friction between the truck and trailer. You need a 5th wheel that can pivot that the trailer rests on. That should allow for much better turning, because the trailer will then be turning above a bearing, instead of trying to glide against concrete.

Also, the locking pin was actually pretty spot on. The pin you made out of pipes on the trailer that gets locked onto the truck is called the "kingpin". Maybe you could set up a sensor that auto locks the locking pin. Have that, with the 5th wheel, and you'd basically have a legit big rig. Only thing you would be missing would be electrical and air lines.

I wish I could haul stuff like that... would make flat-bedding so much easier not having to secure crap to the trailer.

Tbh, this episode was kinda exciting for me. Actually drive a flatbed, and currently in the sleeper of my truck (when I posted this anyways). So watching him do this was rather fun.

[StephenButlerOne]

You need rear wheel steering, on the cab Just about 10° and the trailer 5°

Connecting it up on evey hitch, will be like connecting up up air irl.

[pedasjma]

I got 3 tips/recomendations

1. you can stack the fruit crates so you could transport 32
2. you should add a door that opens when you extend the vp

3. and make it a sleeper cab so you can respawn in the truck and add a crate for spuds

[otj.]

Kan theres a way to do centered steering using 3 bearing joints connected to the steering in like a chain so as they cancel out the pivot causing the wheel to rotate on itss axis . this is great and allows for tight fully suspensioned steering however due to bearing flop can flop flop with extreemly heavy loads/

[TheBigred]

A sleeper in the cab would be great, Also might try raising the trailer up a block all around to give better response on hills and maybe help with the collision.

At first i was like : "a concrete truck ??" and then i remembered that those small lawn mower looking engines can pull out 4000 horse power, and in fact, it works like a charm, weird that it understeer so much tho... needs a tiny bit more work but this thing is sweet !
