T5 seats have bearing angle control, might wanna try that for power steering. Please use lightgray light inside your storage areaplace...it's too dark at night. :)
I am so greatful for you, J0hn! I can’t really play many games that my friends are playing due to me not having a console or computer and this play through is really helping me feel like I’m playing a game. Thankyou J0hn! Keep up the good work!
This build is amazing. Minor details are wrong but you can not tell from a distance. I drove truck for years and had to inspect my truck ad had to inspect it twice a trip. John please keep up the quantity of your series. I love it! Your presentation style is fantastic! You have a new fan!
To improve the turning speed you could do what I call fake differential. Connect the left and right gears to different controllers then, with a WASD converter, have the inner gears turn off when turning. That way the left and right wheels will turn at different speeds and you'll turn easier.
Make th cab 1 or 2 blocks higher. It make it easy to get out of your seat, and it'd make the truck look more realistic. Also maybe try to fit a bed in front of Bob so; 1 you sleep next to Bob, and 2 you can spawn in your truck if you end up dying, also the cab looks like it'd be a sleeper truck anyways.
Nice Kenworth. ;) I built a Boxy survival fully featured semi but I may rip it apart and do more of this kinda design. A few things I've added to mine which I'd love to share include 1.. Interior Courtesy Light (Stays Illuminated for 6 seconds when cab doors open) 2.. Indicators (Auto Flash with sensors corresponding to turn direction) 3.. A slow, full length level 5 piston triggers 12 sensors which then get Logic Gated to play Green tote bot heads to the Dukes of Hazard "Dixie" airhorn tune. One more Level one piston was needed to get the last note. 4.. Brake lights operated by pendulum motion of a concrete 3 block (moves to a ~30 degree sensor) sensor is on a curve pipe offset on a bearing. ( unfortunately brake lights also come on during down hill descents ) 5.. Just had an idea to use a controller, More sensors and More logic blocks to incorporate reverse beeper, Reverse lights and inhibit brake lights when accelerating using a W , S converter. 6.. A sleeper cab with a sensor so bed doorway opens up so I can leap back into the action if I just Died therefore omitting the chance of attacking bots from destroying my seat and waving bye bye to hours of creation.
Ive driven truck for better than 20 years now and i think you did a great job. I have a couple ideas myself 4 a 5th wheel design but havent built up themats to implement it yet. Honestly the gooseneck design you got going on looks much simpler and less problematic. Your technical knowledge of the game mechanics has been a great help in my own creations
another way of doing that additional suspension without losing gears, if you don't mind covering the wheels (good for wider vehicles) put suspension on the outside of the wheel and attach that to the wheel via a free spinning bearing
something i have noticed is that if you take the paint tool and paint the lights white they seem to actually give off more light ... it just gets brighter in the room. your basement could use that for visibility.
You should put the steering bearing directly above the wheel, have a pipe bending back into the body to a suspension price and a few bearings for drive leading back out to the wheel beneath the steering bearing. Making a C shape. If you're not sure what I mean, check out kAN's video where he builds the semi for the first time...
just a thought, but for ease of access along with cool points, you could create a garage for you vehicles and a large elevator to it so your not always having to struggle up a hill or something.
I love the truck =) I followed your chassis and drive design for my 'explorer' vehicle. I was wondering if you would be willing to do a short tutorial vid on how to make a good sturdy hitch? I really appreciate your videos a lot. It has made my play experience so much better, watering system, vehicles, machines... love it, thank you!
Wicked a fix for the Bearing driven vehicle. I could not for the life of me work out from 2 picture what that guy did to fix it. Welding the axle to the wheels is what he never explained. Ty for posting this fix & how to do it properly. I had no idea that blocks can go though blocks with no collision ether. Only got the game a week ago & dam there is a lot to learn.
You did a great job on that truck, though its a little off of course. The cabin would be a little taller, and the windows would be about a block or two higher than where they are now. Of course the exhaust would not be connected to the gas tank, but you pointed that out yourself in the video. Usually there are steel steps and rails to help drivers get in of course as well, but me pointing these things out is just nit picking... But this is a game and not real life, so I do not ever expect anyone to be 100% correct lol. Even with all those small things, you still did an amazing job on this truck, so keep up the good work :)
i think piston steering would negate that floppiness of the steering bearing, and also allow you to have the front wheel drive. piston steering is pretty easy to make, it just takes a little bit of extra space. you make a bar, attach the wheel to the center of the bar and put pistons on the opposite side that the wheel is on. a few people made videos on it if you want to check that out. the semi is looking really cool especially for vanilla.
the reason why your having trouble getting out with tight tolerances (ie only just high or wide enough) is that when u test it on a lift or on a completely horizontal surface its fine, but if your vehicle is on a slope, when u get out your not on a slope, so your perfect rectangle hit box is hitting a tilted hitbox. steering issue is cause bearings don't allow free movement, so its like driving with locked diffs.
I made a semi (well, still working on it but with this configuration on the bearing drive it might work in survival now) but I made the engine compartment with a hinge on top and dropped a bed in there, you can see it through the grille. lol
I figured out a cool way to control the super torque if you want to give it a shot. I use this trick when i'm trying to not fly all over with the bearings engine.
The only thing keeping me from running a controller powered vehicle is how the thing will keep on going OR start rolling backwards when you try to stop.
I made half semi half scout 6 wheeler - minimalist metal 3 design (trying to gather paint to finish black paint job), 2 first wheels are loaded with 2 l. chests and 6 regular chests at the back. LVL 5 seat for better turning angle and now 2 saddles for passengers (I'm thinking to dump saddles and put there a drill arm)
I found that Twenty Bearings in a row, using two controllers, created maximum torque. You could only set the First controller, for the first ten bearings to max. The second HAD to be set one tick lower. If set to max, rubber banding madness forever!!! The furthest two bearings go from each other while still attached was almost half the map height. LOL My thought is the second the torque overcomes the friction, everything comes apart, but since it doesn't cause durability damage/break, the game tries to keep it glued together. However, the banding stretch it causes a cascade failure in the shock absorber effects. This causes everything to go haywire pretty much permanently until the system is reset to zero state.(lift)
Trucks in Europe have back wheels to turn , in America when you want to have more steering in a rig when you have four axles the first one in the back you would make it turn
There are actually 4 of the rectangular lights in the ship, although, they are all ambient & not actual lights. There is 1 by each bed in back, & also, on either side of the entrance , on the very inside.
John when playing survival: has big fuel free truck and a base Me when playing survival: has no base but builds a detailed bughatti chirron that wasted a ton of fuel
I love your videos and your builds. Coming from a trucker thats a great truck I would suggest the sides of the cab behind the exhaust pipes be lined up with the edge of the pipe so its wider then the front
Using the same principle you used in the back you can give the front wheels a steering bearing that is only 1 block removed from the wheel like in traditional setups. Then it will have more steering angle when you add a body. If you do that you can also give it the same amount of powered bearings so the front wheel speed matches the rear wheel speed and you get more grip in the front. It seems like the front is rotating at a different speed forcing it to slip.
HEY! your steering can be improved so no floppiness happens, just connect both front from wheels where steering is present with vertical bearings perpendicular to the wheels so the wheels arent floppy and the suspension can compress too.
Normal people: You can't just exploit the speed of controllers to get a high power engine that doesn't take fuel!
John: heehoo tork
TORQUE GANG
Diesel for the win lol
hehoo tork go WRAAAAAAAAAAAM
Lmfao
But all I want for Christmas is an effective vehicle.
That’s a really nice semi
I am sure he's thankful for the compliment, blue bearing.
Bleu skrep mekaniek bareign ees vewy naise baring
Nice spelling xD
Blue bearing = slow
Red bearing = fast
So your a slow bearing
I
T5 seats have bearing angle control, might wanna try that for power steering.
Please use lightgray light inside your storage areaplace...it's too dark at night. :)
White for more light not grey. LOL wouldn't grey make it dark ?
White is too harsh of a light. Light grey is bright but isn't as harsh. It's what kan uses
@@calebwithers9690 Ill have to test it out. I though being a dark shade it would make the light dim. Ty for the tip

You should make a elevator garage so it's easier than putting it on a lift and drop, plus it would look cool!
He might but remember about moving parts in big builds.Also he's still in the shell stage of his base.
I wonder if there is enough torque in his power set up to allow an 'elevator car' to drive straight up a shaft.
hey john I just wanted to say thank you for pumping out all this amazing content keep it up man

The compact, suspension-available controller method john is using, is just GENIUS. Simplicity that works, it couldn't be better
To improve the turning speed you could do what I call fake differential. Connect the left and right gears to different controllers then, with a WASD converter, have the inner gears turn off when turning. That way the left and right wheels will turn at different speeds and you'll turn easier.
Woohoo! This is exactly what I've been designing in my head for my playthrough.
John, Kan may have the gadgets but you sir are an artist.

That might be the best semi I have ever seen in scrap mechanic

There's no "should" here, as in, no right or wrong way to make the steering system.
i wont lie u are the best "cool vehicle" builder among scrapman, kan, squid and u
ah yes, I too test rock climbing abilities when building a simi truck
Your building genius never ceases to amaze me John, that looks incredible!
Awesome. As an old truck driver I think you did a great job. You did justice to a semi for sure. Well done JB
Dang I wished I had my computer working so I could get Scrap Mechanic Survival
just a thought, but for ease of access along with cool points, you could create a garage for you vehicles and a large elevator to it so your not always having to struggle up a hill or something.
Can you upload the footage of you building your vehicles no cuts? so we can see how you made and that would make it much easier for us to build them.

You have the best car that I've seen in scrap mechanic survival
You should put holes in the roof of your semi so you can easily get out
Or raise the roof by one block, which would also allow for a bed on the ceiling above the aquarium.
You should put a bed instead of the Bob area
Mr Melon noooooooooo
Day 3 of asking John to make his intro from totebot heads

Love it! Looks like your truck could be Optimus Primes cousin 👌
You forgot the taillights.. lol Great looking truck.
I was waiting for this rofl
EDIT : Honestly, you could make a sleeping cabin with a bit of Storage boxes inside, like an actual Truck now :o...

@@tarrantwolf Nice. I've seen people use the bearings to make giant moving fortresses.
ailehunter link? I wanna see that
John: "That front axle must be screaming"
Front Axle : (screams like old man)
Tandem steer up front? Might help in heavy haul use where single turning axle has proven to be unresponsive under high load.
I figured out a cool way to control the super torque if you want to give it a shot. I use this trick when i'm trying to not fly all over with the bearings engine.
The only thing keeping me from running a controller powered vehicle is how the thing will keep on going OR start rolling backwards when you try to stop.
You could use pistons to turn the wheels with the wheel being on a u joint separate from its drive axle
Really those are awesome I don't think I can even manage the wiring....thats really a lot of hard work man you are doing great...
im a trucker and this looks like a western star cool build
Love the look. Slightly disappointed you aren't using a post and pin for the hitch. Although welding to a bearing is more stable and less fps eating.

Awesome Truck is Awesome! Great job man!!
Looks great, very well designed
Treat the rear axle like a tag axle on a side dump trailer. Set up into a piston system you can engage for more traction as needed
A flat front semi is still a real semi, J0hn, lol.
That's what I'm torque'n about!
I would have put a simple sway bar on the front to keep the wheels going the same direction.
could always make the drive wheels section completely bend, so that your truck bends in half to steer :)
Here's one of my truck joints

Trucks in Europe have back wheels to turn , in America when you want to have more steering in a rig when you have four axles the first one in the back you would make it turn
To fix the steering, put the weight in between the back sets of wheels and the front wheels
The problem is that bearings in survival are weak, that's why your steering ones are being overpowered by a set of controlled ones
Amazing truck
You and kan are my favorites but you progress faster

They are.
@@j0hnbane wow, sorry
If you use bearings for a central drive shaft and connect it to a limited differential it will make your turning better
For Halloween paint it like Optimus Prime
And for bonus points make it actually transform using controllers.
looks great thanks to your awesome help i was able to build a fuel free miner
Not perfect, but definitely awesome 👌 nice job man 👏
You are a master at filler content really amazed truly
Hey john u can have the steering better by it not hitting the wheel well
You can start the pipe piece ABOVE the wheel
I looove the space for bob

It seems like the front is rotating at a different speed forcing it to slip.
Nice work, u can build different atachment to that truck, like in snowrunner, a flat bed , a cargo one etc
Not sure this was mentioned but you can do the multiple speeds by locking down the inner bearings to lower your speed on the shaft.
HEY! your steering can be improved so no floppiness happens, just connect both front from wheels where steering is present with vertical bearings perpendicular to the wheels so the wheels arent floppy and the suspension can compress too.
I'm in the proces of building one too, but, mine's gonna be even better ;)
level 5 seats can control bearing steering angle so you can make power steering or just use 2 bearings for every wheel
that semi's really cool thoo
Sou brasileiro, mas curto muito seu canal, série explendida 👏👏👏

Hey john I reccomend you paint your lights in your base white or light grey.
You should paint the lights a light grey to have better lighting.
You should set up piston steering on those front wheels
