We Built a Helicopter to Properly Explore the Entire Map! (Scrap Mechanic Co-op Ep. 52)

Hey everyone back with more Scrap Mechanic Survival! Kosmo and I spent some time since the last episode getting more component kits and building an epic helicopter for exploring the map! Finally we'll be able to consume tons of fuel in style as we check out all the cool locations this survival world has to offer! @darealkosmo

You could try turning the front into a turret so that the seat and the cannon move together so that the co-pilot could basically look down the sights while shooting.

It doesn’t hover well because it is an actual programmed feature that thrusters have slightly variable thrust in magnitude and direction over time.

[Cybot_]

Have the thrusters on a fast (variable) clock instead with fixed thruster angel that points more downwards to be more fuel efficient. Standard hover could be a 2 on : 1 off clock with an XOR for down to make it 1 on : 2 off and an OR for up to 3 on : 0 off.

Caged Farmer: Am i a joke to you?

You should keep some bubble wrap on the bottom back and on the landing slabs so that on the water it will level out.

[andreanizzola]

With this you should finish the map you started in the first few episodes, not because it's useful but it would be pretty cool to have a map of the world

[CMWolfMagic]

There needs to be a refined fuel crafted from a bunch of basic fuel that lasts longer. Something like 10 fuel per 1 refined fuel, and 1 refined lasts as long as like 9 normal fuel. That way it isn't as efficient, but it is better.

[dunneemofozilla]

going at the redbot with a single spud gun is only a step in the right direction... think MI24, stub wings with 2 or 3 guns mounted on each. make the wings ( and crane ) detachable so you can configure the chopper to suit the mission you're doing instead of needing many different flyers

[carterthiessen]

Whenever Kosmo fell out and died I just heard the mash theme play in my head

[Dr.PixelMan]

Make the fuel into loop. Like attach another vacuum tub to the tank to the chest and make a loop to see of it will pull gas.

[rokushou]

Put a death bag full of fuel on it. It acts both as a lightweight beacon if you lose the vehicle and an emergency fuel source if you get stranded. If that feels too much like an exploit, just put a bed on it so you can suicide to find it (also helps if you fall off and die like Kosmo).

[charlesoliner]

You probably already thought of this, but replace the spudgun with the crane you mentioned, and use it to airlift the tank to warehouses and crates to the trader. You'd probably also want a vacuum pump for packing stations.

[SapioiT]

To make the suspension glitch stabilizer work for the ferry, you need very long arms, on which to place them. Because when you tilt the vehicle a bit the stabilizer would move a lot more, and the stabilizer resists that movement, even if it will move, it won't move nearly as much. Though you might need like 6+ suspensions, for that, for it to work well with that much weight. Also, I know you know how fuel-inefficient it is to have the thrusters like that, but consider how much faster you could move the vehicle if you didn't rotate the thrusters.

[DoubsGaming]

Kan if you ever run low on fuel or want to conserve fuel while in the air, if you pulse the thrusters they use less gas. sorce: scrapman (idk remember wich vid)

[YoYoKnny]

Was gonna suggest replacing the buffer chest in the Gas Station with fuel containers to stop the oil overflow, but that wouldn't work aesthetically since the buffer chest also acts as a splitter...

[Prestiged_peck]

At 20:18 that flat strip of road would make a great drag strip.

[bdlc]

the way the lift adjustment is done is genius because a fixed amount of fuel is used rather than activating more thrusters and then using more fuel when going up

[Legovorz]

For anyone wondering, the song kAN is talking about at 24:50 is called Goin' Huntin' by the Arrogant Worms.

[Freedbot]

If it's such a good hauler, see if it can be adapted to haul a mining rig. I'm sure a big part of your resource gathering is the commute.
