Building a Tanker Trailer for Mass Chemical Collection! (Scrap Mechanic Survival Ep.30) 

Make a dock at the pond, back your trailer up then drop the pumps farther down, the dock will be level so you won’t need wheel chalks

kAN is like the Mumbo Jumbo of Scrap Mechanic

If you build a bridge over the pond, then when you add a sensor, you could push a part right behind you with a piston off, and thus pump on a flat service.

suggestion: build a dock or something at the chemical pond that is flat so the tanker wont slip

I work at a chemical plant, that looks like a perfectly sized tanker. You could also build a pier to park the tanker on when you’re getting the chemicals.

Here is my comment on your tanker trailer. Tanker trailers come in Links of 53 feet and 48 ft and 36 ft for doubles or triples. As far as your trailer goes it looks like it's the right length and nearly the right size diameter as they come in all sorts of different diameters for tanker trailer. What is making yours look visually off is the fact that you are trailer tires are a bit far forward. In real life the assembly the rear tires are hooked to can slide forward or backward to adjust the weight that is distributed across the tires. Your trailer looks fine it just looks like the tires are slid into the forward position which is what you would need to back into the water just my opinion

i love when you build trailers!

I love how he makes a survival game look like a luxurious truck building game

Hey Kan! I saw how Scrapman used more than one craftbot, thought this might help with the amount of time you need to wait.

Last week you helped me figure out what was wrong with my mining setup, this week it seems you're helping me with my Tanker. Perfect timing.

Hi, the proper term for the stands on the trailer is landing gear. The pin is called kingpin and the hitch on the truck 5th wheel hitch btw

"now thats the hieght we need to be at" *after modifying trailer twice*

for one episode, go on scrap man's world and do his chores and he goes on your world and does stuff, scrap mechanic world swap!

This is definelty my favourite type of project to watch!

Build yourself a ‘loading dock’ with integrated stops for the trailer’s rear wheels.

Hey kAN! I just wanted to say that I love your content❤ keep it up!

See if the plants have enough friction to stop things from sliding

There's a axle ratio of 3.21, so the front wheels to the rear wheels of the truck times 3, thats the distance from your truck rear wheels to the trailer wheels

KAN! Build a flat platform on the chemical pond to back up on, kinda like a pier

Being a trucker for a living I'd say you got that tanker trailer dimensions pretty spot on, maybe 3-5 blocks less on the length and you just need to add a curve to the front & back of the trailer(no more than 3 blocks) & I'd say that is perfect. Also the feet you use to hold up the trailer are called landing gear. If you ever need add info on big rigs your doing in scrap mechanic you can hit me up on Twitter at Madogcotk. Awesome episode, been loving all the big rig stuff you've been doing!

Could u make a bigger boat that can go on land and explore with it

How about fill the whole trailer with chest and then just put pumps at end so it would be like 10 chest of chemical

You can make a cycle system on your crafting bot. Making it automatically feed the in and out. And having it have a lot larger capacity.

You could try building a bridge like thing going into the chemical pond a block or so over its surface. You would then back the truck onto it, align it with the edge and get to harvesting

Kan, I think you saw (maybe not) the video when Scrap man made an indestructible box from Warehouse keys. You could make a Warehouse keys tank and see if it can resist bosses and red tapebots as well

It should take 200 seconds to completely fill, or 3 hours 20 minutes in game time.

I love seeing kan playing scrap mechanic. He is a marvelous ingenior.

Couple of truck ideas... 1.) For the trailer lock, directly under the hitch location place a low level sensor that just reaches far enough to detect a trailer hitch. Connect it to an AND block, Connect that to the piston that locks the trailer in place. Add a switch connected to the seat and the AND block. Turn on the switch, and back up to the trailer. When the trailer is in place it will automatically lock. Turn off the switch to unlock the trailer and drive away. 2.) For the trailer stands, place a 1-block sensor directly behind the hitch. When the hitch lock closes it will detect the block and raise the trailer stands. When the truck releases the trailer (or you move it with the build stand) the stands will lower automatically. With those two changes, you can hook up to a trailer and immediately drive away without ever leaving the drivers seat. You can also unhook and drive away... so when you build a truck yard for all your trailers, you could rearrange all the trailers as much as you want while never leaving the seat. (though using the build stand is still faster and easier.)

The tanker looks perfect the other trailers look to short

Here's an idea for you or chemical trailer and getting the chemicals. My suggestion is you build a short dock out into the chemical pond to back your trailer onto to hopefully stop your sliding. Then just deploy off the end of the dock and pull back out

Build a Pier/dock for the chemical lake so your truck can back in on it and remain level. It will stop the sliding and if not you can add automatic wheel chucks to the pier that activates with sensors once you are parked properly.

I think the tank looks perfect Kan

Cover the pond with a large platform just below the surface

when I loaded this video, I immediately got an ad for the one and only... *Raid Shadow Legends!*

Just something that could be cool is having a huge tube system that pumps chemicals all the way to your base into a storage system.

Floor looks fantastic!

Is the drone battle vid comeing out? I haven't watched it yet causes I want to see it from your perspective

Wow I never knew 1 minute could be such a difference in me being first to comment

Flexible Vacuum Tube would be real cool, so you could build a Vacuum Pump mechanism to deploy into the Water/Chemicals but have a ton of Chests linked together deeper in the trailer for storage (would also cut down the weight strain on the mechanism because chests are heavy)

hey KAN build a giant gate at left side of the wall then build a road with rails around your base because it will be more easer for your trucks to drive

Hi also RU-vid says 1 view 1 like and 16 comments RU-vid has good math

Day 5 of asking people how there day is going

Nice design and very efficient!

These videos are so fun to watch! I get so many ideas from these videos. If i feel down i watch your videos to distract my self from it. Thanks for the content kan! ❤️

kAN making awesome vids! i try to make awesome vids too :D

looks great KAN!

i like it as is it looks realistic in size. keep up the good work!

Build a flat section at the chemical pond to park your tanker on for pumping now that you have easy concrete!

nice rig kan. those pumps are really heavy.think you would benefit from making 3 rows of 3 chests inside.. maybe more. then have pipe outlets you attach pumps to when you get to destintion. this way it will look like extending pipes and chests stay inside. could even make it with 2 seperate " chambers " to haul both water and chemicals. i found if making 2 rows of chests and in middle have them connected with a single pipe by chest top outlets, then it suck in water for an extra non existing pump. like if both sides have 3 pumps on them the one side pump 3 water pr second and other one pump 4. i really hope they add a device to fit on pipes and chests like the chute we deliver fruit tru at packing stations. this way we can transfer stuff without taking things apart when pump is aligned. also a pipe section you can turn on/off with a switch would be great. this way we can deliver materials to the right chest in the piping system after fabricating or refining. 2 small parts with great potentiale.

Build a flat platform / save area next to the pond so you can back up, not slide in and just have a cool little building to have

Maybe try using diamond plate blocks or something as a stopper so you don’t slide down the hill because diamond plate has high friction

Maybe have a vacuum pump in the water behind the craft bot, and link it up with vacuum tubes to the chest next to it. Saves having to do anything there.

I have liked some comments about docks to back up on & adding my own, you need a dock. That pump module is cool & the trailler is awesome, keep it up.

Amazing video!!!! Keep Up the good work!

you should add a water pump out the back wall of your workshop that leads into a chest, so you can take from it and is also on the intake of the concrete maker for faster crafting

Put cacti on the bottom of the support legs. They have good friction, so should reduce the need for wheel chocks

I think it looks good!

You should use pumps to place some blocks. I'm sure you'll find a use for it.

Niiiiccee!!!! This is what I like too see....

You could build a small wooden bridge for the truck to back onto. The pistons go down far enough that you don't need to be "in" the chemicals

If you want a more rounded trailer I would use the large silo like parts on top of some of the warehouses.

It looks about like a milk truck. I hope they add some kind of easy on off connector for stuff like that to keep the lag down. Or anything else you might want to build with attachments.

You should make a little dock over the chemicle pond for your truck, should help with your sliding issue

A dock type thing would work nice on the chem pond!

For the chem pond you could take and make permanent weel chocks welded into the ground at the edge of the pond

Nice trailer

Love the trailer

Nice. I think you should make a flat area for the trailer to sit on while it pumps

Your trailer is like perfect

Keep up the great work

You can click a repeat button in the craftbot to not need to click constantly if you need stuf in bulk.

Paint the green eyes from your logo on the side of the tanker. =b Good job, fun build! I went with a stationary chemical station that I just roll up to with my regular scout vehicle and collect from.

Build a dock into the chem pond to park onto, make the flat spot :P

With the bridge idea, make the trailer's belly open up in the middle and just have the pumps go straight down into a hole in the bridge.

Build a ramp at the chem plant/pond. Should stop the sliding. You still have plenty left in the pistons to compensate the extra height.

Make landing legs that hold the trailer up while pumping out of the chemical pond, just use a piston and a tire on its side or other high friction items. Like the legs on cranes or firetrucks

2 things. If possible I’d recommend using angle pieces to try and keep the pumps from hitting coming in. And 2 try and move the front axle up a bit. Normally trailers have more spread apart axels irl.

I did something similar mainly for water. My solution to the sliding was that I put kinda two Us that I would back my wheels into. (But mine was just a pump on a container on the back of my truck. I used it for watering, pump in, reverse the pump and water the plants lol)

Kan could have carved out the corners on the inside without affecting the outside look. That way the pumps could have been one block lower and it didn't need to be as high.

When you park the trailer next to the pond you could make Auto deployed chucks like crane trucks do

You made my day

That's perfect

As for the truck sliding into the pond. Build a permanent stall to back into that is u shaped that just barely fits under the lowest part of the trailer, that way you can back into it and it will hold the truck steady as you pump

Truck came out great. It is really huge for what you actually need. Maybe do a truck the size of a UPS truck. They really need to fix the friction of wheels. Especially lateral motion when stopped. It's just way too slick for a physics game. For base improvement, add more chests on the source side for the craft bot.

Thats so cool

Build a platform to drive onto over the chemical lake to stop sliding of your truck. Curler would also look better if you put explosive/warning signs on the sides and back of it.

Build a dock like platform at the pond for the trailer to sit on when you gather the chemicals

Make a second Craftbot and create an automatic crafting line so you can still use the Craftbot while crafting things in bulk

Wow that's good

OoO Looks gewd

8~12 cacti can greatly reduce the sliding of the vehicle (depending on the weight of the vehicle). Use the pistons to support 2 of the four wheel positions to the extent that the wheels do not bear the weight (slightly floating). KAN can try

I think the retracted pumps caught because you slowed them down. You could probably put them and the rear hatch all on the same 1 switch and sequencer. You'd just have to add a third piston for the raising and lowering of the pump assembly and time the opening and closing of the hatch. Heck, if you plan on making trips in the future, you could make a level platform for parking the tanker truck on like the others are saying, and just hook the pump mechanism to activate with a sensor aimed at a spot on the ground looking for a color. You back in, it auto extends and pumps, you drive forward just far enough to stop tripping the sensor, wait for the pumps to get put away, then drive off again.

Build a dock at the chemical pond to park the trailer on level ground to pump from. No more need for the wheel chocks

Guys this is why I subscribe to KAN. It's because I love vehicle's such as cars and mostly trucks and train

For the tanker we need to be able to pour stuff out of the tank that it comes in and get hoses to put it into storage like fuel chemicals and water

kAN, Maybe try building a platform at the edge of the chemical pond. That'll dismiss the problem of you needing wheel chucks, and with a lip at the end you won't need to worry about backing your trailer off of it. And since you lowered the length of the pistons that lower the pumps, you can increase their length if needed. :)

To solve your wheel chock issue I see two ways, you could build a short u shaped wall right on the edge of the pond before backing the truck up and just lty it settle against the wall, or you could build a short bridge out over the pond and leave it there perminantly, giving you a horozontal surface to back onto

The trailer looks like one of those milk trucks

Build a bridge on the chemical lake so you can back your trailer on and it won’t slide down the slope

Nice trailer I build a truck too from your video and the truck is amazing BTW love you videos
