Me: Omg i want to learn how to make an automatic farm. Totally gonna watch and reproduce Kan's. Me 30 minutes later: I'm gonna carry on using a bucket.
you should put a timer on the shutoff to automatically restart the cycle after the duration it takes the longest plant to grow so all you have to do is put in seeds and take out fruit
Gregzyt I had a similar idea but instead of adding a timer to restart just make it bigger such that the time it takes to plant everything is the same time it takes to grow so the machine just keeps running over and over
@@NCLSUGRT A timer is not even needed, since the vacuum wil only suck up full grown crops you can just keep letting it run and it will ignore all the crops that are not fully grown
@ScibleMonk I don't think it would waste seeds because it cant plant them if a plot is already being used, and the water is automatically collected always, so even if the water is being wasted, you get the same amount of water that is wasted. And even if you use more water than you get, just add another pump.
I thought about this actually. You'd need a lot of pistons to cover the entire wall or a bunch of different setups to get it all but you could sense the holes then patch them with blocks.
Do you have a plan to set up traps around the wall? I heard a crushing trap can kill any types of bots in one hit (except the big red boi). Btw, great invention, Kan!!
I could acctualy see him at endgame with a huge mech suit with a 5 barrel spudgun Gatling gun made of max tier metal with automatic collection system for wood and stone a changeable arm for saw and drill and its all powered by pistons.
at first i thought this was rocket science but then i reconstructed the hole logic gate thing in creative but i slowed it all down by 3 seconds with timers. this really helped me understand the whole thing and why and how all those loops and stuff works.
@@TimeLapseVideos-Garbagetrucks i put a simple car on rails with 6 water guns. so i can drive it slowly and water everything, the rest i do by hand. this way i made a super huge farm and only need 1 or 2 days of farming per month. i think its the easiest beginner farming, but i like the sensor idea, i might use that instead of a button and use sensors to turn off the engine when its done. so i dont actually need to drive it, i could be planting while the machine is watering
You can also use a sensor to detect when a plant is fully grown! Place a sensor pointing toward one of the final plants (or a few with an and gate) then hook that back up to the trigger or gate and you have fully automated it 😃
You could actually put the sensor on one of the first plants. That way you'd be harvesting them as the ones later in the row are still ripening. But since the machine runs at the same speed each time, they would always be fully grown by the time the harvester gets to them. (Assuming of course the sensors can detect grown vs ungrown plants.)
great idea, i havent even build a farm because i dont have mats. Ive just crafted a drill. Those blocks from Haybots are really necessary in crafting :/
finally caved and built this thing and well, you changed something off camera(prolly when you added the invisible yellow and gate for the length pistons) and it doesnt seem to work. please let me know what you used to cause the timers to stop cycling. everything else works perfectly except you cant turn the thing off. when you do, the timers just keep going as they were except they now have a second beep going in an endless loop. **Edit**fixed it, the triple xor that goes to the first timer loop, needs to not only go to the xor but to the and also. this will cease the loop because when the system turns off, no matter what the and does not receive a signal on both lines.

He already goes through stuff so fast and then the stealth edits.

You can use the vacuum pump to place any kind of block in the game. You can literally use it to build a 3D printer! It’s arguably the best new feature in the game.
PLEASE READ IF YOUR BUILDING YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!! If you have a problem where you pistons that push the whole cart thingy, get glitched out because of the timer just repeating itself. what you do is you hook up an extra OR gate to the AND gate that connects to the piston timer. then connect the memory bit (that's full of XOR gates) to the OR gate you just placed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This works because: An AND gate needs all inputs to be active at the same time for it to light up, when the XOR gate connected to the AND gate lights up when the OR gate is not (when the whole system is off) it will not activate the pistons!

Nick Sloan What do you mean... in minecraft you don't even have gate blocks. The only way to make a system with logic gate in Minecraft is to build each and every gate one by one which means that you can build complexes machines like in Scrap mechanic but you will not be able to do the exact same thing because you dont have wheels, long enough pistons, sensors, and compact logic gates
Me: i watered my crops that i planted today with a cannon launcher thingy! my friend: i planted my crops and watered them but my farm is still small... kAN: You guys are watering your crops and planting seeds?
So I was just going to comment that you could try to double the planters, but decided to keep watching first and ofcourse you thought of that. Although I was thinking about just doubling the planter and vacuum pump while still keeping on the one row at a time theme, but its probably more compact, efficiënt and less messy to just do 2 rows at a time. but doing one row at a time really fast would look really satisfying tho. great stuff as always.
- Controller waiting issue: Each component controlled by a controller may have a different update time, may it be distance/rotation or just pistons/bearings. Thus each stages duration of a controller is defined by the slowest component. Having no change in one stage, the stage has no duration, its instant, thus skipped. - The whole farm could be hooked up to a timer of 24h or less. The plants will be grown by that time and the player only has to go there at any time of the day, to sort/fix the chests content. This also justifies any form of duration, 15mins of farm processing? No problem, each soil on the field has its own constant time cycle. The player doesn't need to care when each cycle happens, due to the timer. Nice idea! I didn't know that one could control pistons like this, its awesome! And the sensor to trigger when its over a field is also awesome.
I would have used limit switches for the back and forth instead of a timer, the added benefit is that you can lengthen your field with minimal effort. I'm so eager to have the modpack logic in survival, it'll make the circuit much simpler and much faster with smart engines ! Also an awesome over engineered solution to make this faster is to have a rotating planter head with multiple vacuum pumps so that they can cooldown. Also Also, if the vacuum pump has enough range to pick up the rows around, you could plant going both ways, simplifying again the circuits !
you could fix the slow planting issue by doubling planters, and putting them angled in/one after the other and then you could pulse them at odd and even farm spot, which would double the plant speed, and then if you add that to the double sided version you talked about, that's 2 minutes to plant the whole thing
a great way to protect your farm from raids is to have level 5 pistons at max speed that push big platforms into the ground connected to sensors so you don't need to work as hard to defend your farm! I did this on my survival world and it works like a charm pro tip: put resource collectors on top of the platforms to pick up haybot legs
Goodness gracious you talk fast, I got lost half way trough the explaining how everything worked and then I just gave up and straight up copied the exact design, was helpful; thanks!
And my brain just BOOM. Amazing how you keep the overview over the logics. Now you just need a sensor at the last seed which detects the fully grown seed and start a new sequence :)
@@8_su he explained it, you don't have to manually turn off the switch every time which is very handy, also it is a switch that can be triggered by another signal as well
This is awesome hands down but if time is the concern then you should have your logic watering/planter/food taker set up on every row for it to take 30 seconds and if there is not much space then have it on every other row for it to take a minute. This brings so many great ideas thank you!
It's an amazing concept! You could make it twice as fast simply by rotating the setup of pump and vacuums by 90 degree: by making each step of the process work on their own line per time, you can then make the system active both on the going and returning pass. First Going pass: harvest column A First Returning pass: harvest column B and plant column A Second Going pass: harvest column C, plant column B and water column A etc. Yes, you still would need to add two extra passes over the left edge of the wall to finish watering everything but it still would be a lot faster than the current design.
For the planter you could use 3 parallel Sensorlines with 3 vacuumpumps for planting, where every 3 fields it gets a signal to plant, this way you can run it at full speed. 3XOR as a toggle, nice. I learned a lot.
This is really helpful! I made one for my survival world, and improved it so it plants and waters both ways, and its awesome! A fully automatic 100 crops field, so cool. Also, it can be a little faster, at 18 seconds per extention/contraction, that makes it only 3 minutes per harvest/planting. It works because the vacuum pump can suck up the grown plants in the next row as well.
Now i mean this in the most positive way but... when doing the logic set up in your tutorials can you wire the circuits alittle slower?...cuz i find myself having to replay a set up part many times to get it right and that can get alittle annoying for some but otherwise great tutorial...also can you provide a detailed wiring guide for this please?...preferably in the form of a PDF?
I had to go back and for several times when he sped through setting the logic blocks up. I like that he stops to say what the blocks are, but then the cursor flies across the screen and it's done...?! Then there are blocks he connects up that appear that I swear weren't there before. That yellow logic block to the pistons, for instance??
if youre still sorta early game just make sure your plot is close enough to deep water because if you just sit in it with your bucket you can constantly spam throw and essentially act like a sprinkler
Was feeling successful with my front bumper attachment that unfolds 4 saw blades. Then i saw this. Haha so much to learn! Need to learrn more about logic gates!!!
Please make a clear tutorial without any changes in the middle of the build on cause im really trying to recreate your builds and it gets really frustrating when you for example build a thing and later say: ''But that wasn't working so let's rebuild the whole thing'' I understand that this isnt just a tutorial video but please make one which you only build one thing and stick to it and not starting to remove anything and just build the build correctly from the beginning. I hope you see this so you can make a tutorial video which would be greatly appriciated!
Have I got some ideas for you... 1) Do the sensors detect the crops? If so, use that to advance the gantry along the row using the same wobble method. No timer needed 2) Use memory bits to break up the actions. Step 1, vacuum the crops, step 2, plant them, step 3 water them. this may take "longer", but if you use the wobble method, you can vacuum and water quickly and plant in both directions. If sensors do take crops, then this can be left running. It will auto vacuum crops, only seed empty plots and water everything. Then you only need to worry about your new bot joining forces with the existing farm bots and attacking you when you least suspect it...
I think the lane changing movement needs to be a few ticks longer. Towards the end of your final demonstration, it wasn't aligned very well with the plots.
Here is a good idea for the wall when you get more resources. Make the wall stretch out to the water and under it, then make a door for a boat to pass through, but also make a door underwater tallow submarines to go through. Ill explain how the door for the boat will work below So it'll be similar to the front door, but there will be a switch inside the wall. What you will do is have a censor connected to the door to open it. When you want to get back in, you hold a button that extends a piston, activating the censor. Once the door is open, you can just float your way in.
I built mine after a similar fashion - but I didn't need any memory circuits. I used the block/sensor system (like Kan used for detecting when to squirt water) for everything, including the extension/retraction logic.
my brain is ded from watching this its like me in minecraft, i can build decent but when it comes to redstone or logic in this case i have no understanding
This triggered some mad flashbacks from school. All it took was a minute without watching the video and I'm completely lost. It's like ignoring the blackboard for a minute and then seeing it full of letters and numbers. Scary.
The timer that extends the piston keeps looping even when it is turned off does anyone know how to fix that. Edit: i found a fix if you copy the timer where its one 30 second and one 15 change the 15 to a 30 second and link it to every thing else it fixes the problem
@@FishPit so what i found out is the timer loops when you turn off so what you need to do is like the memory thing to both the xor and and gate and then it will work
Another solution to this problem is to hook up the timer circuit like this: The the output from the memory bit and hook it to a NOR-gate. Take the output from the NOR-gate and hook it to another NOR-gate (this is instead of Kan's XOR-gate). Take the output from the second NOR-gate and hook it to an OR-gate (same as Kan's). Take the output from the OR-gate and hook it to the timer (same as Kan's). Take the output from the timer and hook it to the second NOR-gate.
Ok, can I just say that this was awesome, how long have you been doing this to be this good at the logical thinkin?! Crazy awesome! God bless mate! 🙏🙏🙏
Great contraption Kan! I think that you can HALVE the time needed without additional planters/pipes/pumps Make the head with chest and water turn 180 while it goes back, so it can collect/plant/water in correct order This way you use all the time working and not just going back slowly All you will need is one bearing and extra controller
The second planter isn't really necessary, because if you start harvesting once your first plant is ready the throughput is the grow time and not the harvesting time (assuming your harvesting time is less than the grow time). This also makes it more interesting with a large enough farm because it will be continuously planting, growing, and harvesting.
Since it appears that the vacuum harvests a 3x3 area? If you switch the vacuum and planter you might be able to plant on both the forward and backwards stroke of the mechanism. Just make sure the vacuum runs before the planter.
Hey man, I just discovered recently that the sensors can detect the plants from its smallest stage till the mature stage, what i mean is if the plant is still small the air above it doesn't seem to trigger the sensor, you gotta have to try it.
Instead Of Using A Water Container, You Can Use A Large Chest! That's What I Did And It Works Perfectly And You Have Much More Extra Water. The Only Difference Is That The Large Chest Is More Costly With Materials.
you actually dont have to use pipes to get the water out the ocean, you can just put the water tank directly on the vacuum pump, as long as the tank and pump are connected by blocks to the farm, you can still connect the tank with the water gun.

Nice idea! I didn't know that one could control pistons like this, its awesome! And the sensor to trigger when its over a field is also awesome.
I would have used limit switches for the back and forth instead of a timer, the added benefit is that you can lengthen your field with minimal effort.
I'm so eager to have the modpack logic in survival, it'll make the circuit much simpler and much faster with smart engines !
Also an awesome over engineered solution to make this faster is to have a rotating planter head with multiple vacuum pumps so that they can cooldown.
Also Also, if the vacuum pump has enough range to pick up the rows around, you could plant going both ways, simplifying again the circuits !
2 and a half years later this is still my reference video of how to logic. Cheers dude, Bring on chapter two!
you could fix the slow planting issue by doubling planters, and putting them angled in/one after the other and then you could pulse them at odd and even farm spot, which would double the plant speed, and then if you add that to the double sided version you talked about, that's 2 minutes to plant the whole thing
a great way to protect your farm from raids is to have level 5 pistons at max speed that push big platforms into the ground connected to sensors so you don't need to work as hard to defend your farm! I did this on my survival world and it works like a charm
pro tip: put resource collectors on top of the platforms to pick up haybot legs
Imagine the mod pack in survival with the turret block
There is a mounted spud gun...
@@yegorgribenuke6853 but no AI block, which is what they are talking about.
Imagine the welding tool in survival. You could make a small stable flying thing very easily
or just make arms with blades. Put dozens of sensors, which can be triggered by bots and then the arms will be activated to cut the bots lol
Goodness gracious you talk fast, I got lost half way trough the explaining how everything worked and then I just gave up and straight up copied the exact design, was helpful; thanks!
soon he is going to create a supercomputer in this game, make it so t can play scrap mechanic and then automate everything in that meta scrap mechanic
That sounds like kAn!
And my brain just BOOM. Amazing how you keep the overview over the logics.
Now you just need a sensor at the last seed which detects the fully grown seed and start a new sequence :)
Man listening to you talk and understand gates so easily when I have tried to figure it out just makes me sad.
People were joking on Scrap Man's vids about Minecraft Redstoners automating everything in Scrap Mechanic. Little did they know: kAN is already here.
9:35 so you basically build a switch with a button and 7 Logic Gates? xD
Its a T-flip flop idk why he built it
@@8_su he explained it, you don't have to manually turn off the switch every time which is very handy, also it is a switch that can be triggered by another signal as well
This is awesome hands down but if time is the concern then you should have your logic watering/planter/food taker set up on every row for it to take 30 seconds and if there is not much space then have it on every other row for it to take a minute. This brings so many great ideas thank you!
You’ve heard of one punch man, now there’s ONE PUMP MAN
He used 2 pumps so Two pump Man
Usually you don't want to be called a 1 pump man
I didnt get it
Love how it all works, you exit game, rejoin 2 minutes later and nothing moves at all. Fantastic.
Wasnt this whole thing started when some fool tried too automate farming
Can't wait till he have to fight that thing he built. FINAL BOSS
Bruh
Next video: Making an automatic farmbot!
The video after that: Help, my automatic farmbot went haywire!
Mr handsome good point
Damn autocorrect
It's an amazing concept!
You could make it twice as fast simply by rotating the setup of pump and vacuums by 90 degree: by making each step of the process work on their own line per time, you can then make the system active both on the going and returning pass.
First Going pass: harvest column A
First Returning pass: harvest column B and plant column A
Second Going pass: harvest column C, plant column B and water column A
etc.
Yes, you still would need to add two extra passes over the left edge of the wall to finish watering everything but it still would be a lot faster than the current design.
Do a 24 hour timer to auto activate the system in the morning
For the planter you could use 3 parallel Sensorlines with 3 vacuumpumps for planting, where every 3 fields it gets a signal to plant, this way you can run it at full speed.
3XOR as a toggle, nice. I learned a lot.
Kan: the mumbo of scrap mechanic
all he needs is to say that it's actually quite simple lol
@@evanherriges4042 yes
This is really helpful! I made one for my survival world, and improved it so it plants and waters both ways, and its awesome! A fully automatic 100 crops field, so cool. Also, it can be a little faster, at 18 seconds per extention/contraction, that makes it only 3 minutes per harvest/planting. It works because the vacuum pump can suck up the grown plants in the next row as well.
How long did it take you? (i am building it right now and it is taking 2 days to get the glue for the logic gates, JUST THE LOGIC GATES)
@@greeenbulleet not very long i dont think. if you know exactly what youre doing, then its pretty easy and fast
@@Hlebuw3k Well, the thing is, i am not worried about the wiring itself, i am worried about the COMPONENTS.
Now i mean this in the most positive way but... when doing the logic set up in your tutorials can you wire the circuits alittle slower?...cuz i find myself having to replay a set up part many times to get it right and that can get alittle annoying for some but otherwise great tutorial...also can you provide a detailed wiring guide for this please?...preferably in the form of a PDF?
I had to go back and for several times when he sped through setting the logic blocks up. I like that he stops to say what the blocks are, but then the cursor flies across the screen and it's done...?! Then there are blocks he connects up that appear that I swear weren't there before. That yellow logic block to the pistons, for instance??
if youre still sorta early game just make sure your plot is close enough to deep water because if you just sit in it with your bucket you can constantly spam throw and essentially act like a sprinkler
I feel like I just watched a tutorial in a foreign language with no subtitles. I have so much to learn and so little knowledge.
Same lol
I’m so glad you can do this stuff in survival. This what scrap mechanic should be all about.
Me after watching all the scrap mechanic survival vids that are out now: component kits are literally the currency of sms
Scrap Mechanic Survival is LITERALLY "The eternal search for component kits"
One of the few game out there that allows you to create any bot in the game to play the game. Awesome.
can you do like a 10 hr touturial of how you do this and talk slow
Was feeling successful with my front bumper attachment that unfolds 4 saw blades. Then i saw this. Haha so much to learn! Need to learrn more about logic gates!!!
Please make a clear tutorial without any changes in the middle of the build on cause im really trying to recreate your builds and it gets really frustrating when you for example build a thing and later say: ''But that wasn't working so let's rebuild the whole thing'' I understand that this isnt just a tutorial video but please make one which you only build one thing and stick to it and not starting to remove anything and just build the build correctly from the beginning. I hope you see this so you can make a tutorial video which would be greatly appriciated!
Have I got some ideas for you...
1) Do the sensors detect the crops?
If so, use that to advance the gantry along the row using the same wobble method.
No timer needed
2) Use memory bits to break up the actions.
Step 1, vacuum the crops, step 2, plant them, step 3 water them.
this may take "longer", but if you use the wobble method, you can vacuum and water quickly and plant in both directions.
If sensors do take crops, then this can be left running. It will auto vacuum crops, only seed empty plots and water everything.
Then you only need to worry about your new bot joining forces with the existing farm bots and attacking you when you least suspect it...
I think the lane changing movement needs to be a few ticks longer. Towards the end of your final demonstration, it wasn't aligned very well with the plots.
Here is a good idea for the wall when you get more resources. Make the wall stretch out to the water and under it, then make a door for a boat to pass through, but also make a door underwater tallow submarines to go through.
Ill explain how the door for the boat will work below
So it'll be similar to the front door, but there will be a switch inside the wall. What you will do is have a censor connected to the door to open it. When you want to get back in, you hold a button that extends a piston, activating the censor. Once the door is open, you can just float your way in.
Sooooo, I wasn’t the only one that’s was lost when he started doing circuits and timing and sensor stuff.... right 😅
This is the mumbo from scrap mechanic am telling you
Please, can we get a full tutorial of this ,I’m trying to make this and i can’t copy it because of some parts that you cut out
I built mine after a similar fashion - but I didn't need any memory circuits. I used the block/sensor system (like Kan used for detecting when to squirt water) for everything, including the extension/retraction logic.
my brain is ded from watching this its like me in minecraft, i can build decent but when it comes to redstone or logic in this case i have no understanding
Its very comlicated, but luckily we have videos like this that cant teach us...slowly....
@Caelan JONES, yeah ive played for a while too and i can barley use timers let alone a timer loop
Kan might be my favorite Scrap Mechanic TH-camr if he is good at designing I mean he is so smart and very unique with his creation
kAN, you should automate getting seeds from the harvest chest into the planting chest.
Like so kAN can see
Kan - starts playing scrap mechanic survival
World - is overrun by robots
Kan - builds robot to farm crops
World - ...
I see this as the proto-“Scrapmecanic Farm tutorial” video
This triggered some mad flashbacks from school. All it took was a minute without watching the video and I'm completely lost. It's like ignoring the blackboard for a minute and then seeing it full of letters and numbers. Scary.
The timer that extends the piston keeps looping even when it is turned off does anyone know how to fix that.
Edit: i found a fix if you copy the timer where its one 30 second and one 15 change the 15 to a 30 second and link it to every thing else it fixes the problem
What do you mean by this? Copy the timer? What 30 seconds? I'm still trying to fix mine.
@@FishPit so what i found out is the timer loops when you turn off so what you need to do is like the memory thing to both the xor and and gate and then it will work
@@cooldudewill07 still dont follow. do the memory thing where?
Another solution to this problem is to hook up the timer circuit like this:
The the output from the memory bit and hook it to a NOR-gate.
Take the output from the NOR-gate and hook it to another NOR-gate (this is instead of Kan's XOR-gate).
Take the output from the second NOR-gate and hook it to an OR-gate (same as Kan's).
Take the output from the OR-gate and hook it to the timer (same as Kan's).
Take the output from the timer and hook it to the second NOR-gate.
cooldudewill07 god amongst men
Ok, can I just say that this was awesome, how long have you been doing this to be this good at the logical thinkin?! Crazy awesome! God bless mate! 🙏🙏🙏
Great contraption Kan!
I think that you can HALVE the time needed without additional planters/pipes/pumps
Make the head with chest and water turn 180 while it goes back, so it can collect/plant/water in correct order
This way you use all the time working and not just going back slowly
All you will need is one bearing and extra controller
The second planter isn't really necessary, because if you start harvesting once your first plant is ready the throughput is the grow time and not the harvesting time (assuming your harvesting time is less than the grow time). This also makes it more interesting with a large enough farm because it will be continuously planting, growing, and harvesting.
I just want to come out and say that this is the most badass over done thing i have seen in my life.
You could use water guns and saw blade walls as a defense for your base. (Like to help kAN)
I was just here wanting to make a small farming system, now I felt like I just took a 2 year vocational course. Awesome
Oh God, you are the biggest brain of all time! I definitely want it in my base, thank you for your help.
I might have figured this out, but it would have taken me a week. You're amazing, kAN.
Since it appears that the vacuum harvests a 3x3 area? If you switch the vacuum and planter you might be able to plant on both the forward and backwards stroke of the mechanism. Just make sure the vacuum runs before the planter.
Hey man, I just discovered recently that the sensors can detect the plants from its smallest stage till the mature stage, what i mean is if the plant is still small the air above it doesn't seem to trigger the sensor, you gotta have to try it.
You could add more vacuum pumps in line for planting seeds. You would be able to go twice as fast and it's simple
Instead Of Using A Water Container, You Can Use A Large Chest! That's What I Did And It Works Perfectly And You Have Much More Extra Water. The Only Difference Is That The Large Chest Is More Costly With Materials.
you actually dont have to use pipes to get the water out the ocean, you can just put the water tank directly on the vacuum pump, as long as the tank and pump are connected by blocks to the farm, you can still connect the tank with the water gun.
