Yea those game updates change things around, sometimes just for the fun of it 😅 An updated video will prob be made after chapter 2 comes out ... soon? 🤷♂️
Whew! It's been a while since there was a video here! Hope you guys like this beginner tutorial! Finally, Survival mods! We'll be checking out some awesome Survival mods made by the community in future videos!
@@Samuel-lk6xb Can be VS? (Vidual Studio Code), I don't know if Code or 2019/2017 can open .lua Edit: VS Code open it with no problems, game work right, and again thank you Durf. Is any mode to lift too?
Yo durf, I commented about this a few weeks ago, and I'm glad you shared it with the community. It really is a much better version of the Creative mode. And it also gives you a bunch of parts you don't get in creative ahahaha Thx for being awesome as always!
Nice tutorial! Yeah, Fenowork and I have been using this to setup challenges. Switch to god mode, get everything setup, then switch to regular survival. It's awesome!
Typically I do not use god mode, but I suck at doing the warehouses. I just don't have fast enough reflexes for those tape bots. I'm just finished both my mobile base with everything I want but the chef bot (Just forgot until just now really). It is surrounded by blades and drills and has the front ones so they can angle up and down and spin with a separate motor. I put the resource collector under the seat and tipped the crafting bot with a 6 chest loop (4 under the bot) on its side to make it fit better and not be so top heavy. I can fit 9-12 produce crates on top too. In my last build I put a sprinkler system that would spin around and change its angle after seeing they were adding fire. I also have a 40 plot garden with automatic water and a stone wall with saw blades around it. I will likely do the same thing if it looks like they will ever actually come out with the final release update. Not sure if it is a different version of the game or it is because I was using Note Pad++ but the lines were not 33/36, but instead were 55/59. It was not hard to find though.
Yea! It was tough trying to keep a regular schedule.. I was working on some vids on both my channels, and the survival update came and made my videos useless, broke my mods...so many broken things 😩 But finally! We're working back up to a more regular schedule, and we'll go with easy tutorials for everyone + featuring some amazing mods made by the community (with downloads). Very happy to be back! 🤗 Thanks for the warm welcome back
Can confirm it works as of 8/26/2021 VER 0.5.1 Build 660. Is pretty handy when the game decides to absolutely screw you over after many hours of work and you want to get back something that shouldn't have been lost. Thanks for the video.
That's pretty nifty! Lots of ways to do the same thing for people that know code I just copied the 2 lines outside the check at first too xD so many lazy ways for experienced coders But I hope this makes it super simple for those trying to get into this amazing stuff :D
@@Peekofwar I know only about comments in VS. // one line /* more lines */ And you can't use your thing, because if you put it before and after this peace of code, it will do anything 😉
If it doesnt work just delete the last ".dev" because the line checks "save type comparison" so just making the comparison exactly the same still makes the check true: effectivealy making the program think developers save type and normal save types are the same
A very useful video, it helped me turn on god mode for survival when my flyer flew away because for some reason it threw me out of it and flew very far away, and rebuilt it with god mode.
In the Test Branch of the game, the sections to comment are at 55 and 59, I would also recommend setting God Mode to false if you want a normal experience with cheats.
How can you enable The Modpack in Survival (if it's possible at all)? Could you please make a text or video post explaining this (there are no easily searchable resources for this currently)? Thanks a lot!
I did this in a different way. i loaded 2 mods, one was a pvp mod, which stops me from dying except from spud guns, then one that gives me creative in survival, now, I Am GOD (in my own way)
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing! How does it work with multiplayer tho? Is it client side or server side? What happens when one person has it turned on and the other has it turned off?
This is for the host only! The host of the world can use the commands, and that's it. Brent Batch mentioned there is a way to allow everyone to do the commands, but I didn't show that in this tutorial to keep things simple / for the host only. You can do so by copying the 2 lines for god and dev mode, up to the top just under all those include lines...then your guests can use the commands too
It doesnt work for me i dont know why but i really want it to work bc i want dev mode so much, idk if you can help me... but i just really really really want it! If theres anything you can do that will help me tell me.
Thanks for showing me another way to do this. Also is there any way you will be showing how to make custom clothing pieces and put them in game? I was trying to put a motocross helmet that I made in blender in there but I wasn't able to figure out how. So if you made tutorial on that I would be super grateful
I'll try and take a look when I can. Things have been super busy with all the projects I'm in, and I need to finish off some of them so I can focus better. It might be a while before I get into character mods again, but I'm definitely interested in custom gear for sure! 100% will take a look when I can, and make a tutorial as soon as I know enough to make it ezpz
Me and my friend were building a house in in scrap mechanic and one of my friends were fooling off and delete a block that held thousands of tote bot heads together it disappeared and the game crashed really hard. and I'm wondering if removing the totebot will fix the issue?
Hi Durf. Will you be doing tutorials on more advanced things, like adding connection points to items similar to how water guns work? I've figured out how to add items to the craftbot. So, I added the file cabinet that you can see and interact with in the warehouses. I then tried to change the number of slots from 3 to 30, but there must be more to it besides updating the interactive.json file. Have you messed with anything similar? Any tips? I was thinking about adding 2 wooden chests to the game that would need wood instead of metal to craft. But, until I get the interactive part and number of slots figured out, I'm stuck. TIA.
really any there are a lot, and they all do a good enough job the only difference you will see between them are small features, or maybe something special if the program was meant for a specific type of coding but really it doesn't matter. You choose what you prefer for shortcut keys and combos and tabs and file tree and whatever features you like to use while coding a project with many files.
You helped me really out! Thanks a lot :) Now I actually CAN stream it without getting banned couse of "cheating"....i am using it, because till the game is official released, i want to have the most possible possibility to create thing in SURVIVAL mode, so i am prepared and make a strategy.
Yep, I'm a little late to the party here 😅 But there's still people asking questions, so I hope this will be a good tutorial for anyone of any coding skills
Hey sorry for the super late reply. Glad you got it working! Yea code editing is mostly in a text format, so you can open up code files like JSON with a notepad. But you're probably looking for a "coding editor": Notepad++, Notepad2, Sublime Text, Bluefish editor, etc. There's a lot of coding editors out there. Atom editor, visual studio, etc If you're new to coding, then don't worry about it too much. Which editor you use doesn't matter at all (you did it with notepad!) Editors like those just help coders with some common stuff (like automatically closing brackets for code, highlighting code syntax so you see mistakes easily, etc) Recommended? Whatever you like to use really. I actually use different stuff for different projects. So I have all the ones I listed installed on my PC lol They're just like a slightly more useful notepad for coding.. that's all, hardly any different
lol that's the electricity in my place...not the best 😅 ruins stuff sometimes...breaks my PC power supply, etc I now know to watch for those when editing 👍
i tried this but it wouldn't let me play survival with the change in place it kept putting me back to the main menu when i when i tried loading a survival world
You may need to restart the game completely.. it is strange that this happens only after a recent game update, but this does still work, however you may need to properly reload your world (I guess a quick in-out is not good enough to refresh the changes you made to game files)
So when I do this the game will fail to load I can take it off and get back into the world but if I turn it on in the world nothing happens if I turn it on before the world won’t load
I can only say to carefully try again? maybe something wasn't typed correctly. You can also delete the lines I show in my video, you do not have to type anything, just delete the above and below lines instead of comment them
i wanna know how to play scrap mechanic survival dev mode multiplayer beacause when i tried it it would not let my friend (in dev mode) or me join eachother (we were both in dev mode
You may need to use the same file / if any of you have any other mods installed, it may be interfering The game tries to check and make sure you're both playing the same game (one player can't "cheat" in another player's survival world with hacks...unless everyone has the same hacks) So guaranteed way to make this work: 1) make sure you're both back to vanilla, latest version of SM 2) one person do the mod (you may need to restart the game entirely before you see it working - in fact that might be the problem with your friend, just didn't restart his game before trying to join) 3) the person share their mod file with their friend, so the same file is used and the game cannot complain that the files are different. That's always the issue when multiplayer isn't working after trying a mod, game file mismatch error.
doesnt seem to work in 2021 :/
Yea those game updates change things around, sometimes just for the fun of it 😅
An updated video will prob be made after chapter 2 comes out ... soon? 🤷♂️
I just did it and it worked fine, no problems with commands or god mode.
Well it works for me, maybe you didn't save the file or didn't edit it correctly.
@@greatoct4480 how do you save it
maybe try doing it in notepad and dont forget to comment the end

What's the code editing program your're using? Does Notepad work to edit files?
1:40 what program are you using or what do you recommend?
@@antifa_communist Yes Notepad works, but it's better to use a code editor, which helps you to visualize everything better. (He used "Sublime Text".)

Really enjoyable video, and the command works! Awesome!
How can you enable The Modpack in Survival (if it's possible at all)? Could you please make a text or video post explaining this (there are no easily searchable resources for this currently)? Thanks a lot!
he was literally facing the PERFECT warehouse in scrap mechanic!
So, can you spawn creations in with your lift like if you made something in creative and wanted to add it to survival?
I did this in a different way. i loaded 2 mods, one was a pvp mod, which stops me from dying except from spud guns, then one that gives me creative in survival, now, I Am GOD (in my own way)

Does IT effect all survival world's? And does IT work multiplayer? How the hell do i fix it? I cant play multiplayer now
Thank you for making this
Woooooooooooooooooooooow is super useful and nice! Thanks!
But can you place let's say... a Haybot head on a lift, save the creation and load it in creative?
probably not, it would just say "failed to build shape at (random co-ords)"
this would perhaps be possible if someone were to create a mod that allowed all those parts in creative mode 🤔

what code editing software do u use/recomend?

all you have to do is go down a little further and you get the admin commands ps:this is after the update that changed how it works
you need to go down to line 54 cus they made the script longer and moved things around
Already done this. Going to watch anyway
Yep, I'm a little late to the party here 😅
But there's still people asking questions, so I hope this will be a good tutorial for anyone of any coding skills
thanks this helps a lot
Thanks so much durf
thank u, it really work
Thank you!
I take a look and played with the comands, but is there a comando to spaw/create a loot crate?
I can't enter survival save in game (it sends me back to main menu). Any ideas how to repair it, and have dev commands?
I did the thing but I can't invite my friends , it seys : Mechanic left the game
how do you bring builds from creative to survival? I cant figure it out, the command doesnt work...
What code do you use i use notepad++
Durf, what script editor you use?
Yes i want to know wat script editor you use
I’m only going to use this to get component kits with less grind
What Iditor program do you use?
What is recommended for the crossing program thingy?

the start of the video: LOUD SHORT SOUND FOR A MILLISECOND
lol that's the electricity in my place...not the best 😅 ruins stuff sometimes...breaks my PC power supply, etc
I now know to watch for those when editing 👍
just curious what mod editor did you use
Cool i love it thank you
i tried this but it wouldn't let me play survival with the change in place
it kept putting me back to the main menu when i when i tried loading a survival world
You may need to restart the game completely.. it is strange that this happens only after a recent game update, but this does still work, however you may need to properly reload your world (I guess a quick in-out is not good enough to refresh the changes you made to game files)
What if you placed a farmer in your game and you cant delete it and its just stuck in the middle of your base lol
How do you make it so that you have to tern it on every time you load a world?
Sorry I did not get the right editor
still works even now in 2024
So when I do this the game will fail to load I can take it off and get back into the world but if I turn it on in the world nothing happens if I turn it on before the world won’t load

You may need to use the same file / if any of you have any other mods installed, it may be interfering
The game tries to check and make sure you're both playing the same game (one player can't "cheat" in another player's survival world with hacks...unless everyone has the same hacks)
So guaranteed way to make this work:
1) make sure you're both back to vanilla, latest version of SM
2) one person do the mod (you may need to restart the game entirely before you see it working - in fact that might be the problem with your friend, just didn't restart his game before trying to join)
3) the person share their mod file with their friend, so the same file is used and the game cannot complain that the files are different.
That's always the issue when multiplayer isn't working after trying a mod, game file mismatch error.
So is this for one world because i want to do this in my own world but leave the world me and my friend and me and my dad use survival
Couldn't you have done // instead of -- to disable it, I'm not to used to lua and have really only just started with C#.
For me when i save it i cant join the game. What have I done wrong?
me: sees title also me:bad grammer
Sup bro how do I turn on time progress cause every time I type in “/timeprogress” it says “off” please help anyone
thanks durf!
Is there a way to make the lift work for your saved creations as well
in dev mode there are import and export commands. i haven't tested them but they are meant to spawn in blueprints, and save blueprints in survival
its outdated but i managed to make this give me infinite carrots when i harvest it
can you use mod parts you have downloaded for creative mode in this?
could you please try to repair the flamethrowers from The Modpack BETA?
What kind of code editor is that?
ill use this to make vehicles WITH items only available in survival
Confirm work on version 0.5.1
thank a lot...youre my hero :)
hi it works but i cant play with friends anymore on the server how do i fix that?
