Is it Possible to Build a Flyer That Never Has to Land? (Scrap Mechanic Survival Ep.45) 

Yep

KAN! KAAAAAN! I GOT AN IDEA! creative mode

Theoretical you could reduce the vac tube by 1 and that would make your vehicle more efficient plus you could make the seat a lower level to reduce weight Or you could reduce the vac tube by two if you have a fuel dock

@@GiratinaTech your not helping

Try useing a lighter block so its lighter and less weight

Yes the pulsating thrusters had the same power but far less fuel consumption. If I remember right you don't need to have different intervals. The pulsating was fairly fast and the thrust was as if the thrusters never turn off. Still with all the things you need additionally you might keep it in air, but I don't think, that you can refuel. If refueling is possible then it will be so slow, that it wouldn't make any sense at all.

no there is not latestart bug it is same effective but less power I watched that video 2 and he almost FAKED TEST I tested both bugs and answer is NO it is less effective because you need more thrusters and you are heavier

@@captain_loeffel they fixed it in "oil pond" opdate

Thrusting for half the time used half the fuel. Logically, it follows that you also average half the thrust. His test showed only that there isn't a minimum fuel consumption each time the thruster was triggered, which was being stated in the comments, warning that pulsing would increase fuel consumption. It doesn't. As Daniel states above, it will cause reduced efficiency because, at the very least, the logic systems alone will be added weight. At worst, you add additional thrusters, even more weight.

@NCR Veteran Ranger pulsejets in real life are also known for lesser fuel efficiency. Detonation pulse jets are a different story, and are stinkin cool, but those aren't relevant, that tech isn't in the game.

​@@hex697 sustainable surplus of thrust. They didn't get sustainable - they run out of fuel.

if you make a quad alternating version of that (in 2 and 2 opposite corners) it has a sustainable surplus

It takes me back to "Shanghai Noon." To paraphrase, "The sun may rise where you come from, but here is where it sets." Ooooh, so you're in the Western part of your world.

This is a good idea. I’m sure there’s a mathematical cross section between pump, craft, and consumption times

He's using multiple glass tubes because realistically, a flyer that size wouldn't be able to get low enough to the oil pond.

@@zed7038 Understood. When I say a single glass tube, I mean two pumps on the chest, and one length of tubing out of the chest, into the first craftbot. That way, he doesn't need to run a second glass pipe up to the chest.

@@tinpony9424 Ye.

is the large chest bouyent?

it was the opposite result so it would burn more

Yeah i think it burnes more fuel

@@pikachuusepizzabolt8338 no

@@pikachuusepizzabolt8338 it burns much less, watch carefully.

It burnes a third of the fuel as normal but it also has a third of the thrust so it's basically just like lowering the thrust of the thruster

I think using timers + 2 extra thrusters sould work best

It is worth testing. However I don't see it working. Thrusters take time to get up to full power.

I have a flyer like this ... it hovers for hours ... but if I boost to fly it burns the gas like nothing

@@someoneme7057 Timers are pretty adjustable, having long pulses that go off just as it peaks wouldn't be too hard

@@janwinkelmann8859 Ja Sure i habe one too but my Problem is to get it to hover ÷)

Yes

Merry christmas too

Yes

yes

800 comp kits?

@@ufukbasci6412 he can create new world and cheat. He only needs to build it in theory. Plus stupid ideas are gonna need stupid amounts of things and requirements.

The more weight the more thrusters the more fuel consumption the more inefficient it is so it wouldn’t matter

@@stinkyrolo45 how would you know there be less pumps making it less truster needed. After all kon confirm there's more then enough oil. It just he did not maximize it.

@@lazyrapter8543 How many craft bots can one pump keep up with? You also need additional pipes and/or chests to feed oil to both/all craft bots.

The exact moment the dirt patches are able to be planted on blocks or something else movable object, it would destroy the whole economy and make defences and bots completely pointless. That is unless they plan making very drastic gameplay changes which would alleviate those problems.

@@anteshell It's fun to be hopefull though.

@@sparklefluff I fully agree that somekind of system that would allow a movable, possibly even flyable bases, would make the game much more interesting. The current game economy would be destroyed by such thing but I also hope that they would work something out that would allow it.

@@anteshell yeah if you could place dirt on blocks boone would make a defense because you could build a pilar out of warehouse keys and have your farm on top of it or have your farm on a car and just drive away from the robots, it would just make base defenses and stuff like that useless

Unless they new, flying, bots...

Yeah but that would be verry dificult he die that in his series with kosmo

@@Spargeltarzan49 did you have a stroke?

Maybe an automated flyer that allows to replace chest in-flight

@@_Grass_Block no

@Technology Boy well no, there are already sensors and logic blocks in game if they could craft it and use a switch to turn on sensors = input switch and output = backup thruster while he exit the seat and switch the fuel tank of the main thrusters. And configure their fuel input and outputs.

Yes, that might work because the oil slightly overfills

Yeah but then how would you feed the output of the bots to the fuel canister? You would either need more canisters or more pipes. Same thing to feed the chest into the craftbots.

Mortal engine? Books are better :)

@@nightshade897 lol true

And that would add more wate

And more fuel consumption

Honestly, is it even that important that you stay off the ground? I think a self fueling flyer would be good enough.

can you elaborate?

@@therealestfortex Ouch, infinity-loops make brain hurty >.

@@therealestfortex couldnt have put it better myself

You`d need 2 pumps

Yeah, the more bots he adds the more efficient it gets. With 4 bots you save weight of 6 boxes. That might be enough

@@paveljurosko4817 but you need to connect them, and there isnt a t piece or something, wich means you need chests

Craft bots have 2 connectors on their sides, so you can make 1 long line?

@@paveljurosko4817 would probably not work, since the bots still need to take oil as input, not fuel...

Yeah. Like you can in minecraft and some other games.

Well a actually no, if a self sustaining system like this (self refueling) can't produce enough thrust to lift itself while not losing fuel adding another one of these onto it would double the thrust and fuel generation but it would also double the weight and fuel consumption of it, which would neutralize it meaning it would do absolutely nothing to help it

THAT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE GETTING LESS THRUST OUT OF IT!!! This is like saying "If you just don't fly at all, your fuel will never run out!". Well obviously. I want to fly though! I want to use my thrusters though!

you are forgetting about weight. Craftbots weight ALOT. . . adding more means 5 more thrusters per craftbot, which means more fuel consumption. So for something like 2 craftbots: while yes, you do get x2 the fuel, but it would also CONSUME x2 the fuel. . . making it redundant >.> (same math applies to 3 craftbots, only it would be x3 instead of x2)

@@Hadeks_Marow you very well could be right but i still see some wiggle room in the ratio. You m8ght be more efficient with more thrusters and weight and only need 9 thrusters for every 2 craftbots. In addition you could use a lighter material than wood. These little things may add up enough, but even they do at a large enough scale, the idea still seems impractal in every way

​@@mikereations668 He tested the minimum thrust in the video. He would have to boost the thrust of that to double for the middle rocket just to make up the difference, which would still consume fuel at twice the speed for that specific thruster. Most of the fuel cost comes from actually lifting the craftbots themselves, hence why he stated this design to not work to begin with. He made his design as compact as can be. Storage Containers and Fuel Containers both only have 2 ports. He is using both ports for the storage container, so other than the Fuel Container (which he only uses one port), he would literally need to double every single item just to hook up the automation. And that only works for x2 When you get to x3 you would need x3 of every item but x2 fuel containers. So even in your math of the slightest difference, x2 would be the most optimal it could even theoretically be, and that's without the driver seats and suspension glitches to make it a vehicle like he wants. It's just too minimal to be useful for the end goal of making a flyer.

@@Hadeks_Marow you are probably right. Im gonna go and test my theory anyway just to see if my small optimizations can achieve anything meaningfull at a large scale.
