Scrap Mechanic Survival Life Hacks and Tips Everyone Should Know! - SM Survival Mode [SMS 29] 

Alternative title for this video: My love for toilets:A small documentary

Tip: if you don’t want to fight off raids, you can make your farm inside the stone. 1. You can use toilet seats to glitch in and out of the stone. Bots can’t break into the stone and will just run off in the morning. 2. In order to water the soil, you will need to make a wooden(or any other cheap material) pipeline from your water container to the water cannon that is facing downwards. This way it will refill your bucket if you stand beneath it. 3. Enjoy not having to come back to your farm every 24 minutes.

When you travel, take revival baguettes with you. They work in single player too.

8:45, worries about painting his vehicle more than defending the raid! LOL

21:35 pressing e also works to pick up crops, items etc. without accidentally breaking blocks

Scrapman: I heard glass breaking. Burglar breaking into his home: I didn't do it!

Another tip for you: When the farmbot raid is done but you dont have enough space in your inventory to pick up your crops in time before another one gets announced, you can hit the crops with your hammer. The not full-grown crops will be destroyed but the full-grown ones will drop the fruit as well as seeds. That way you can pick them up after 5 am without having to do a raid for nothing!

Tip: always leave 3 or 4 fuel canisters in your CHEST in the car, so if you don't keep track of fuel and you run out of it, you can get back home easily with these canisters.

Day 4 and more relevant than ever: - Durability 6+ blocks and other are inmune to non-boss bots. - Caged farmers are EXTREMELY bouyant. Used to create boats, you can build a fortress with enough of them. - Hamburguers not only eliminates hunger and thirst, they also replenish health. - Crushing traps made out of resource containers are efficient. My personal experiencie tells me that 3 stacked pistons with linedup observers, with varius angles on button mode conected to timers, are the best way to deal with them. Especially if you place a refiner uptop to start the proces. Fully afk metall farm.

You can also use “E” to pick things up. Making ember harvesting slightly faster not having too switch item slots.

Fun fact: The food that the Cookbot create can heal your hp

Fun fact: You can press enter while sprinting then take your finger off sprint key and itll do its thing automatically

Tip: when moving a lot of material ‘rods’ place them on each other as a loose item (not welded to the ground) and you can use your weld tool to carry them all at once, while sprinting

Seems obvious, but I had to learn the hard way: Always leave some potatoes on your vehicle so when you die you have ammo to recover your stuff.

Almost everyone: finally a new episode! Scrapman: here is a tips and trick episode and nothing else!

baguettes from the craft bot revive you to full water and food when you die and if you have it in your inventory. Also you don't re spawn at your spawn point. You just wake up.

Tip: you can still control your character and your car with WASD when your inventory is open. Also if you open chat (press ENTER) while you are running or driving this will toggle your running and you don't have to press anything anymore.

Useful tip: Gamepedia has an entire page about farming in Scrap Mechanic. This includes how long it takes for a crop to grow, the value of the crop (determines the raid level), how raids function, and a guide on how to mini-farm to avoid raids. It may not be entirely in-game, but the information is useful to have when you’re trying to figure out what bots to expect.

Start refining open chat then close it and it will keep going without having to keep pressing it down. (Same works for sprinting hitting eating etc)

For newer players When you refine logs from the large trees with the mushrooms at the base the logs refine into normal wood while all other trees become scrap wood. Given that these trees require a saw.

Funfact day 6: you can take anything you detach from the warehouse into the elevator and harvest it

I forgot he moved his base and I was so confused with the building in front of his farm

Tip: when you are going exploring, always make sure to die in your base and leave the bag there, so you always have a beacon and you don't get lost (this will be helpful until beacons are added).

Tip: you can use E intead of RMB to pick up things. That way you can pick up things with your spudgun and you don't accidentally break anything (but holding the button doesn't work).

Everyone: backing up saves Me: hoping to restart SML Forever

Pick up resource collectors and haybot legs with a lift, you can run while holding it

Tip: if you are going to the warehouse, bring some burgers with you. If you get hit, you can eat the burger and it will instantly replenish all 3 bars (health, hunger and water) to 100%.

Scrapman you just thought of the best MP monday game, greenie shooting when they are flying :D

Life hacks that I use: when you die you leave a inventory bag with a death beacon, if you have a single non tool item you can die and leave a beacon that you can see from an infinite distance so you will never get lost

Hello person scrolling through the comments! Have a nice day! Day 15! Potato

one thing to add to harvesting plants: you can use "E" or the use-button to collect and dont have to worry about destroying your farms ;)

I built my base in one of the mountains , Bots cannot reach it :D I still need to build a bridge like you did to park the car into a platform midway to the top. The ground is in a slope , So I built a monorail powered by a controller and bearings , the monoriel basquet contains the water pumps etc. So I can farm everything , Ended up using less components than in my previous layouts

Scrapman: I'm not going to tell you that to get into a warehouse, you need a key that you get from killing the farmbots. me: ummm....

Tip: instead of right clicking to harvest crops, use 'E', that way you can't accidentally pickup soil, lamps, etc. This also applies to things like cotton, oil, dropped items, etc. This also allows you to pick up items with a gun in hand.

I got one for you: sometimes when using the spudgun you can find yourself walking at speed you get when you aim with it and unable to run. I believe this could happen if you get ragdolled while aiming? When that happens whenever you pick the spudgun in your hands - even without aiming - you'll walk as slow as if you were aiming. To get out of that situation simply aim once with it and you'll be able to run again.

Thank you! I just DL'd this game about a week ago and have been trying to learn on my own. But now I'm ready to learn some tips/tricks and you've been very helpful!

Day 7 of the scrapman baking show Today we will make brownies Ingredients: For 24 brownies 2 ½ sticks unsalted butter, plus more, softened, for greasing 8 oz good-quality semisweet chocolate, or bittersweet chocolate, 60-70% cacao, roughly chopped ¾ cup unsweetened dutch process cocoa powder, divided 1 tablespoon espresso powder 2 cups nulated sugar ½ cup dark brown sugar, packed 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 teaspoons kosher salt 6 large eggs 1 cup all-purpose flour flaky sea salt, for sprinkling Instructions Grease a 9x13-inch (23x33-cm) dark metal pan with softened butter, then line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on all sides. Grease the parchment with softened butter. Combine the chopped chocolate, ¼ cup (30 g) of cocoa powder, and espresso powder in a heatproof liquid measuring cup or medium bowl and set aside. Add the butter to a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until the butter just comes to a vigorous simmer, about 5 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally. Immediately pour the hot butter over the chocolate mixture and let sit for 2 minutes. Whisk until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted, then set aside. Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and eggs in a large bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 10 minutes. It will be similar to the texture of very thick pancake batter. With the mixer on, pour in the slightly cooled chocolate and butter mixture and blend until smooth. Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F (180°C). Sift in the flour and remaining cocoa powder and use a rubber spatula to gently fold until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake until lightly puffed on top, about 20 minutes. Remove the baking pan from the oven using oven mitts or kitchen towels, then lightly drop the pan on a flat surface 1-2 times until the brownies deflate slightly. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Return the pan to the oven and bake until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the brownies comes out fudgy but the edges look cooked through, about 20 minutes more. The center of the brownies will seem under-baked, but the brownies will continue to set as they cool. Set the brownies on a cooling rack and cool completely in the pan. Use the parchment paper to lift the cooled brownies out of the pan. Cut into 24 bars and serve immediately. Have a good day

Everyone: calls it a boss bot Scrap mechanic: WHY ARE THEY CALLING IT BOSS BOT ITS CALLED RED BIG BOI

26:10 "Well yes but actually no" -Scrapman 2020

i have two tips, the first one is, if you're sneaking up to a haybot, place your lift underneath them and the go flying in ragdoll mode. the second tip is to improve your ember harvesting trick, instead of switching to your hammer and using RMB to pick up items, you can use E to pick up items without having to swith to your hammer.

Here's my tip: When it comes to farming, you can have nine plots of the starter crops (Carrots, Beets or Tomatoes) or six of potatoes without triggering a raid. But, you can have multiple sets of farms as long as they are 256 blocks (a full stack) away from each other. So if you have a plot of nine carrots, you can have another plot of nine beets and then another of nine Tomatoes as long as the they separated by at least 256 blocks without there being a raid. Although you still have to deal with the wondering bots.

I finally cracked your upload schedule!

30:20 Blasting through the ember, In a sawblade scouting car, O'er the fields we go, Laughing all the way, Totebot heads go flying, Haybots pale at the sight, What fun it is to ride and sing, A grinding song tonight, HAY!

Tip: Watch Scrap man and others like him when you don't know crap....lol

i think everyone is forgeting the main part of the game. *fixing the ship.*

9:34 that totebot just destroyed a totebot head

10 seconds in, a quick look at your base and You earned a sub. The crenellations, the machicolations!!! ❤️

I find it great that he can just talk casually while being attacked because he just knows he can handle it.

I feel like that Scrapman is the person that haves a unpainted block and a raid is coming he just have to paint it

the tier 3 metal, concrete and wood are blast proof (anything that has more than 5 durability; 5 durability is not blast proof)

The horizontal way of stopping bots is acutally something I've used too in my video. I've actually placed horizontal beams every 3 blocks which saves me even more blocks. Bots can't get in between the 2 beams (2 free bots) and I'm still able to walk on them to shoot them. So as you mentioned they need to break through 5 blocks like that before they even reach the border of my farming area. Kinda like the ember farming technique but I'm not at the Shotgun mid game part yet,. Great job on the tips !

Thank you for the cotton tip I haven’t been able to find any but now I will look out for those trees

Some blocks (max tier metal, ramps etc) are INVINCIBLE to farmbots (including big red Bois)

Tip: Use "E" to pick up loot when you have a spud gun pulled out so you don't have to switch to another item slot.

Even after playing survival for quite some time, I still learned a lot from this video, so thank you. I also had an inquiry about your supporters, mainly DevilDog Music. I really like the music you use in your videos and was wanting to look into it further. Do you think you could include a link or something? I tried looking it up on RU-vid, but it brought me to a channel that has marine corp videos. Thanks man. I'm happy to be a part of this channel. Great content.

I have been trying to find that save file everywhere. Thanks Scrapman!

Always bring a toilet merch pls

I have a "macro" for refining on my keyboard. It just holds down the buton

Also looping the chests into the craft bot is a big time saver. Good one to mention for sure

Small tip that saved me a lot of time once I did it. With each vehicle you make, ensure the floor of the vehicle is heavier than the top. I typically build my vehicles from wood with a concrete floor and it helps with stability greatly. Not a super hack, but handy nonetheless

probably already said by someone, but Life hack: use controllers to power bearings instead of engins so you dont need any fuel.

Scrapman: doesn’t have anything to do Also Scrapman: make a tips and tricks vid for one of his SMS Episode Edit: Me: kinda smart actually...

Regarding the holding right click to pick up crops and other stuff, you can use E too. The advantage is that you won't accidentally pick up soil or break parts of your farm

Really helpful. Middle mouse click to half stuff is my favorite. When approaching a large ruin, walk all around the building from some distance to lure the haybots out 1 or 2 at a time so you don't need to deal with 3 or 4 at once. Die at your base and leave one item in the bag so it will act as a wayfinder, though the icon will disappear if you venture out too far. And check out the SM Wiki. It has lots of useful info, especially about farming and raids.

"It's not an opinion, it's just a fact" - Scrapman 2020

24:43 Something you did not mention: You can eat/drink while refining even.

I actually use the passenger seat because any direction other than upside down it does not yeet you, so you actually land on it when you get out

None of these tips were useful to me since i don't have the game, i just love watching your videos

Life lesson with scrapman.

Scrap man, I have a suggestion for your castle. Add some turrets at the top of the castle. That uses sensors, and only shoots when you turn a switch on.

I love you scrapman I don't even have a pc or scapmechanic but I have still watched like half of your videos

Awesome advice with the save file backups. This should be mentioned more by others too.

15:46 - Food that fills hunger, thirst, and health to 100% is "pretty decent".

I like how you referred to the bots as **people**

omg i have been spamming the toiled to the ground all this time. So smart ScrapMan. Put it on a lift. Genius

You really deserve more subscribers! Great video! AGAIN!

Here is a bunch of tips: 1, when grinding some people might watch yt but then you either forget about the vid and end up watching it again or you just forget about the grind instead put up a new tab and listen to music 2, when harvesting or swinging your gamer constantly press alt+tab to change to a new tab you will understand what I mean then tab back to scrap and your character will continue to harvest without pressing E 3, when carrying a bot or a chest with items left click to drop and put it on the lift because then you run in normal speed without having to do what scrapman did but don’t change what’s in your hot bar because then you’ll have to go back and grab it again 4, build a farm with crushers on each side to kill bots automatic each raid and it is fully afkable for scrap farm 5, when building a new base I use a paint program to paint a plan for the bad and I then design each and every building in creative first 6, if you don’t want raids build your farm on smaller islands located all over the map (I found one close to the wrench) and bots can’t spawn in the water

Hey remember the wall thing in the last two room the one room is the loot room and the other room is blocked off try putting a bomb in the congkrit i mean in your lift you can put your lift in the werehouse look at comodos vid he just put his lift in the werehouse soo ya try that becuse i have no scrapmakanic bucuse i dont have no money to bay it (Srry for wrong spelling scrap man or other poeple)

I haven't tried this because I don't have the game, but I noticed that you carried your car with chests that had stuff in it, and there was no speed penalty. So MAYBE, if you put a block on a chest and pick it up with a lift instead of carrying it on its own, you might be able to carry a chest (with things in it of course) without a speed penalty. Just a guess. If you read this ScrapMan, thank you for all the entertainment you brought to us (Thanks to your friends also).

Between you and Kan I bought scrap mechanic and I've loved it

why haven't you gon into the rusty tower yet?

I've been waiting for ur video!I love the good work☺😊😄😆

I think raids have a cooldown, aka if you plant crops at 12AM, you will not get another counter at 5AM, but if you planted at 3AM, you will get a counter at 5AM. Another tip would be understanding raid mechanics: you can get up to 9 extra crops without a penalty. You could also grow small quantities of high level crops without penalty.

Fun fact: 9 crops won’t get raided, but 10 crops or more will get a raid

And for today's upload time report: 18 second late today

To fix the catapults, try to cover sensors more. Haybots avoid sensors they have direct line of sight to.

Why don't you make a bearing powered car. (it doesn't need fuel). Give it a try! 😉👌👍

Guys you have to watch the whole vid to count as a view so there isn't relley first person

scrapman i am having fun in survival because of you. you inspire me

The video: Best tips ant tricks for scrap mechanic! Scrap man: get the cook bot because it is cute

minecraft: lmg water scrap machanic: toilet fall!!!

Please make a boat in survival pushed by your hammer , day 3 of asking!

when you die you get those duffelbags, leave one at your farm and one at your base, then when u go out in to the world u see the marker from very far so you can always find your way back home. they dont despawn, so u can use them as map indicators.

i had another little trick that i used once or twice. It may be fixed now but when i tried it it still worked. I always carried a chest with me and when i was going to die far away from my bed i would unload everything into the chest and carry it. If you die while carrying it or anything else you carry on your shoulder you will wake up with it in your bed.

Who else thought its a new episode of sms progress of scrapman

Probably the biggest help in advancement I had in game was realizing the 9 plots/10 point farming method to get food stocks or slowly grind farming out to get the first spud gun without dealing with raids.

I did not sleep to snag this video early.

3:20 And on this point, if you ever have an object you cannot place down, hold F and you’ll be able to place it down, this is also handy if you want to place food on a table

Your love for your Cookbot gives me an idea... Make him a kitchen that he can move around on... Pistons to move him back and forth, make him look like he's working at a stove, going to a fridge, etc... Pivots to turn him around... Controller with a long enough program to make it look random.... 👨🏼‍🍳
