The refineries are actually super useful in Crashlander because they increase resource gains per rod! Normally coal gives 15 per rod, but the refinery gives 20 per rod.

A tiny bit of info. When you first enter the mine, you'll almost immediately find a blueprint on the ground. I'd suggest making the thing from the blueprint ASAP (before going any further). It will make your life easier. And it will ensure the video is not painful to watch.
Well the cynical thing about it (like it's way beyond irony at this point) is compared to the alternatives it actually works a lot better. I don't know if you've tried the alternatives, but they just aren't quite as good in that environment.
Just a friendly tip: When i had a mobile battery generator on my vehicle, with 5 stacked bearings, it would also freak out after it got placed off the lift. But once after i placed it down the bearings freaked out like crazy (like in the multiplayer creations with many bearings), over the whole screen and after that my creation went to the outer atmosphere and i never saw it again. In your case, you have less than 5 bearings and it doesnt freak out, so i guess its okay for now but i would keep in mind that this is in my opinion not very safe. Great series so far
@@SkillfulNick Regardless it is a guarantee. At some point the game will not like the amount of bearing on bearing action you've got going on simultaneously and it will break. The only thing I can kind of think of that could help in the smallest amount is making one that's at the limit your machine can do and then encase it with blocks. Use the larger green pipes for the bearing connections, but use blocks to keep it kept inside so encase it wobbles, it should get reigned in pretty quickly or make enough of a cacophony that you will never miss it.
28:45 The planet they're talking about where the bots "went havoc" is probably the planet we're on in normal survival mode. Gotta love the details in this mod!
also hank said forterra makes weapons, thats proably what fracked up the bots is them being fliped into war mode or something and thus causesing the ENTIRE problem of the main game
Fun fact about the hacking section of the vid:the computer directory where the other thing with the logbook funny enough is an actual Directory where the important stuff such as the blueprints,dress codes and such are kept (they are hidden by default since they are important)
I mean he did figure it out eventually, but yeah it is one of those things, when writing documentation, for others to use, specially for less tech savy, how do you indicate that this is something where you need to fill something in, as opposed to a static commandword
@@GummieI You don't. You stick to the norm and show them examples, because everyone has their own freaking mind. I've seen people just by randomly trying stuff like this to trigger bugs due to bit overflow that was so deep in code even freakin Ada Lovelace wouldn't found it.
you might as well do justins quest to turn on the orange valves in the other pipe room before leaving, then go to the mine, but theres a bp you will find as soon as you enter that you really should go home and make before going further. so, you might as well go back to HQ. take crates to bill, make the thing, get quest from bill to take crates to hq, then go back to the mine.
Love the Crashlander series. Has become just as fun as watching you past ScrapMechanic play-through series. Shoutout to the mod creators for bringing new life the game!
Love the editor for making MANY point outs, but there's an armor one from the guy back at the house, and then theres others by the same person im talking about, but just go to the cave base later in the vid if you use my thingy, and just go for a short look to see things.
Don't worry Scrapman, it's only obvious to me because as a student I was getting into learning languages (because the school and college didn't teach a thing) but didn't want the mess of installing all the necessary packages. So I decided to make a little program that would request user for a certain folder name (unique for all steam users), insert it as a variable into a path, and create a folder where it would backup your Scrap Mechanic file and replace it with a similar file just with one line changed (which enabled survival developer commands). It would also tell the time of day and say it together with a random phrase, I had a small list of phrases that would either treat you like king or treat you like garbage (depends if you turn the dev commands on or off). It was a funny little program but it was a pain to make it work because I decided to write it entirely in windows bash (since the windows OS already has this language by default and this was the only way for me to manipulate files). Weird brackets like [],{}, usually represent a variable (something that can change, for example by user input) in pseudocode (human readable transcript of what the code does).
Being a regular follower of the discussion forum on steams crash lander, I've heard of such glitches with anything brought into the HQ "Gate". so watch out with crates too.
Turn on the valves then bring the crates to Bill (the latter was the only time I died in the Playthrough) Also yeah the indoor things are kinda buggy, there was at least two times my vehicle spawned inside the HQ, above the 1st Piperoom (they even know about this bug, because there is an inaccessible room with a "gift" of two circuit boards. yeah i needed the decrypt command to retrieve my vehicle.) An FYI for the resource collectors to work in the mine you need to reload the save inside the mine every time.
Base64 is an encoding method to take data that isn't text, like images or executable program files, and represent it in text so that it can be stored in formats or transmitted over systems that don't support non-text. It works similarly to a Caesar Cipher. It was, for example, a common way to send images as email attachments at least years ago (I've been out of email server administration for decades so don't know what's current.)
Pretty sure it's still the standard encoding of binary data in plaintext only protocols such as email. (It's been at least 4 years since I coded email templates). It's still pretty common for inlining small images in HTML; though inline SVG is becoming more popular since SVG support is reliable now and it has higher resolution for much less data if you minify them a little.
Reminds me of when I was learning DOS is school, and even the teacher had trouble with with the commands. She once told the whole class to format a floppy, but had them on the C: prompt at the time. >_
Ohh yeah, I went to the quarry with my flyer becaue I thought that it was the spaceship battery... it was really eventful to fly back with that monstrocity welded to the bottom.
meanwhile programmers saying: yes, uhh there yes! , ok yesss, there it is, yess..., yeessss..., it's great to watch these parts of the thing, and your exploring files not hacking XD
And man I really wish he would have experimenting with running some of the other files in there. particularly wonder what would happen if you were to run that os updater file xD
Cant help but laught at the console bit, its funny watching lol, Some suggestions. At bills where the well is, place a vacuum pump they not that expensive to make, with the new pipe options you can hook a few water storage containers up to the 1 pump. They are jacked up pumps too so they pump real fast. While in the HQ, do the pipe quest, then pick up mission to take crate to bills since your going that way might as well do it. The truck can handle it :D Make / prepare food etc then head off for the mine mission.
The hacking quest is actually so cool. Usually it's just some maze game or something of the sort, but this is something that would actually work in real life, although it's not exactly "hacking". But if Mark actually couldn't do it and wasn't just lazy I'd be a bit surprised seeing as he is the programmer.
ScrapMan changes directory after 20min, “I’ve hacked into the mainframe!”. Lol, you’re awesome ScrapMan! Also, that’s kinda cool that scrap mechanic mod added in a Linux terminal
I welded the big battery to the world and was stuck, if you do this all is not lost. You could either /decrypt in chat and pick it up, or /unlimited and find it in the inventory to spawn in another. Either way, /encrypt or /limited will cancel the commands and whilst most would consider this cheating it's all you can do if you weld that battery to the floor/world.
Yes, Scrapman, technically if your mouse and keyboard and screen (together a terminal) are only connected to your computer as the only space to store, execute, read and write files and perform other activities (a server) then your computer is technically a mainframe.
Hey Scrap, I am loving this series! I think it would be really cool if you used the same music as in the origianl Survival series, because this reminds me of it (duh, it's a mod about survival)
Do the piping quest while you're still here, then do the quest that takes crates to Bill when you know you're going to Bill. Otherwise, do whatever quest you feel like getting the rewards for. Oh, and if you ask the questgivers again, sometimes different quests come up.
As they can be hard to find, I will provide a hints system for the blueprints in the next area, assuming you didn't find quickly, what took me weeks to find. 1 along the path of light, from where you started 1 in on the top floor, you will know it if you know the drill 1 on the bottom of your goal, up the ladder near the WC
I must say watching you struggle with that command line was extremely painful. I know that it was sometihng out of your skill set, but still... The correct thing was right there... It is like the kids we are teaching computers - they do not really take notes and usually forget what we did last time, so we either watch them struggle similar to what you did or just tell the the same things again and again... That is why it struck a nerve in me. But it is great you managed to crack it.
@@dougsxoom616 or that you are using Console/Powershell on PC or Dosbox, or using actually anything where command line is the way to go in any OS of past, current and future :)
wooot! im so lucky that i did the battery thingy without any bug OMG! i didnt even backedup the file lmao. i dont know what is it but i love watching ScrapMan play Scrap Mechanic survival idk :D
I grew up on DOS and I could not help but scream at my monitor to remove the - I think the mine should be next to do. (maybe after the orange valves since you are there)
Build a basee!!! You can do some side missions and base building before or after the mines, after the side quests you've done there is no other urgent ones so you can do whichever you want
I'm watching these in order so it'll be a bit before I'm caught up. I'm going to apologize in advance if something I notice and comment on is covered in later videos. For this one, you might want to separate your sword srikes a bit, instead of just holding the mouse down. I think it's why you're taking extra damage each fight. The animation is slow enough for things to hit you between strokes. (heh...stro...nope, not not going to say it) Something like how you speed up your clicks when gathering resources, to take advantage of bypassing the extra unnecessary animation frames.
27:09 - so you know binary? Well that’s base 2. The stuff we use everyday is base 10 - base 16 is the same, except it uses letters to count to 16- base 64 is the same as base 16, but also includes capitals and symbols- you have to decode it- it says “!Base64Enc!” Meaning it’s encrypted in base 64. Thank you if this makes it in the next video.
I did the piping room valves not too long ago and got a false sense of hope with how easy the first floor was. When I got to the second floor I found 9/10 pretty easily but I spent like legit an hour just trying to find that final valve. I was so upsetti spaghetti when I finally found it.
I wouldn't be hard on yourself. I am a developer and the first time I touched terminal was so rough, I deleted my documents by accident. Once you learn it though, you can navigate all sorts and find hidden folders and things.
It really REALLY looks like leaving the battery in the yellow marked area in front of the garage should bring it in, like all quests are buildt around that and it's a shame it's not the primary enterance.
Base 64 encoding uses 64 bits (1/0 switch) per character, allows for pretty big numbers and a wide variety of text symbols (yes text is just a number in a table that shows how that number is supposed to look like). So what happened is probably they wrote text in 64bit encoding, but then re encoded the file in for example 32bit and now every text character has been split in half (physically, in memory it's read as two separate characters now) so you get a bunch of gibberish. Doesn't seem like you can encode the file anew and it's probably ment for you to copy and go to your real computer and re encode the file online, if you want a bit of lore.
The reason the battery dissapears is cauze the way the “door” is scripted is like a normal elevator which is smaller and perhaps i suppose you have to get the battery in the middle fot it to detect it
Being a programmer and watching you suffer to use a terminal was so much fun hahahahahaha we've all been there one day, it's normal to get confused with how cd (Change Directory) works at first sight
Scrapman, I would use scrap metal to make like a tailgate when you hold loose objects, like you put the object in then you build a tailgate for more immersion and security
It looks like this does in fact not predate scrap mechanic but it is after, since in the logbook it said they went out of control wich means there are more planets like the one crashlander is on and the one original scrap mechanic is
Btw if you want to explore that computer any more; I would not be surprised if it autocompletes if you start typing part of a file or folder name (enough to uniquely identify it) and press tab (at least all Linux/Unix shells will autocomplete, I can't remember if windows does) so you don't have to type the whole thing every time. Maybe theres a secret base64decode (or something similar) command to decode the componentPrices.txt if not can you copy the text from the game and alt+tab to a browser and decode it?
That painful hacking attempt was just a cover up. You always knew about Haybot Autonomous Neural networks Kinematics research. It all started with milk pathfinding.. 😉 .. but yeah it was painful 🤣
It is so funny to see you try to hack the computer. If you don't know the conventions that have been established, it is obviously not obvious 🤣. The brackets are meant to show you, that it is a placeholder. So you don't write the brackets, when you replace the placeholder...
remember when you did a wedge testing on wheels for infinite movement you should try that in the crashland survival it might work because I think you can make wedges in the mod
It was pain to watch since I remember even MSDOS :D cd C:/ , btw pressin TAB might help you to faster typing (it depends how far developers thought out the console)
I've never had the battery disappear on me. It's always gone in with me. Dunno what that's all about. Also, anyone else a super noob console command person who learned all of that stuff putting in cheat codes into the game "Enter the Matrix"? That's the way you and to do it in that game. You "hacked" the operating system and "applied different coding". It was more or less just having fun with unlimited bullet time and the game breaking shenanigans that created that made it worth while.
This is really nice to watch! So I would like you not do speed through the game, but rather let it take its time. Do as many quests as possible and try to use the things that you get to improve your weapons, your protection and your vehicles.
You do not include the < and > in that. Those commands go back to the old DOS days. To go up a folder, it is: cd ... not cd . The is a placeholder that should be replaced with an actual folder name and does not include the < and >. I hope that helps. I have used DOS a lot back in the day, so I am well-versed with it. Oh, and the notepad.lnk and biker.png files did not open because you were no longer in the Desktop directory.
I would suggest that when you go to the mine, either gring a lot of blocks to path your way 'cause it is confusing to navigate. At least, it was for kan.
First time the cd .. command appeared I instinctively pointed at the screen. The following minutes were of impotent pain trying to talk to past Scrapman about command line syntax... 😅
Guys i just had a deep thought What if the person the og scrap mechanic is from for terra and the developer thought that since scrap man had captured a hay bot they put hank in the mod because he took hank back for for terra
Let's say that when I did that side quest 2 weeks ago I didn't know abou the potential hazard and lost the battery for good... Then I spawned a new one and my frames were cut in half. I deleted that world cause it was unplayable. Also deleted my vehicle to get my materials back and yeah... Lost everything in the chests, so that was my last Crashlander experience...
22:09 Using MS-DOS or a Command Prompt is NOT programming... And using brackets is a common way to express a variable of a certain type -- replace string with name without brackets. Can't imagine how Scrap has NEVER come across this common usage.
@GummieI Read any user documents or have a rudimentary conversation with any IT Help Desk or helpful amateur, and they'll likely use terms in brackets to explain a variable concept. It isn't frequent for the average user, but I would have expected Scrap to have been exposed to this concept at least once in his life.
The refineries are actually super useful in Crashlander because they increase resource gains per rod! Normally coal gives 15 per rod, but the refinery gives 20 per rod.
He needs to see this
Wish he would've seen this
Been programming for a while. It's super cool to see ScrapMan consistently applying the directions as described. Shows how hard it is to avoid assumptions about the users. He surrounded the arguments with "". There was no reason to know that without prior knowledge.
i know this but it still makes me so mad T_T like i would've atleast tried with and without
Yeah, it's been soooo frustrating to see him confused. I was almost shouting to the screen to leave out the brackets 😂
This was killing me the entire time, but the "cd .." is what really got me, since it's not like '..' was listed as a separate command, it's clearly in the same line as the cd command.... he got there in the end though XD
I've done that mistake myself so often yet it was still so frustrating to watch him struggle and it's not even his fault
A tiny bit of info. When you first enter the mine, you'll almost immediately find a blueprint on the ground. I'd suggest making the thing from the blueprint ASAP (before going any further). It will make your life easier. And it will ensure the video is not painful to watch.
Well the cynical thing about it (like it's way beyond irony at this point) is compared to the alternatives it actually works a lot better. I don't know if you've tried the alternatives, but they just aren't quite as good in that environment.
Just a friendly tip: When i had a mobile battery generator on my vehicle, with 5 stacked bearings, it would also freak out after it got placed off the lift. But once after i placed it down the bearings freaked out like crazy (like in the multiplayer creations with many bearings), over the whole screen and after that my creation went to the outer atmosphere and i never saw it again. In your case, you have less than 5 bearings and it doesnt freak out, so i guess its okay for now but i would keep in mind that this is in my opinion not very safe.
Great series so far
if not 5 then try 10
it's also the speed they turn at. you could slow them down and you can find the sweet spot.
It seems like it depends on the power of the PC. I’ve seen people have that happen with 4 bearings, while Kan can have 8.
Mine smacked me out of the seat, then I put it to base 😂

The stuff we use everyday is base 10 - base 16 is the same, except it uses letters to count to 16- base 64 is the same as base 16, but also includes capitals and symbols- you have to decode it- it says “!Base64Enc!” Meaning it’s encrypted in base 64. Thank you if this makes it in the next video.
all those movie references tho, Scrapman
I did the piping room valves not too long ago and got a false sense of hope with how easy the first floor was. When I got to the second floor I found 9/10 pretty easily but I spent like legit an hour just trying to find that final valve. I was so upsetti spaghetti when I finally found it.
I wouldn't be hard on yourself. I am a developer and the first time I touched terminal was so rough, I deleted my documents by accident. Once you learn it though, you can navigate all sorts and find hidden folders and things.
It really REALLY looks like leaving the battery in the yellow marked area in front of the garage should bring it in, like all quests are buildt around that and it's a shame it's not the primary enterance.
Base 64 encoding uses 64 bits (1/0 switch) per character, allows for pretty big numbers and a wide variety of text symbols (yes text is just a number in a table that shows how that number is supposed to look like). So what happened is probably they wrote text in 64bit encoding, but then re encoded the file in for example 32bit and now every text character has been split in half (physically, in memory it's read as two separate characters now) so you get a bunch of gibberish. Doesn't seem like you can encode the file anew and it's probably ment for you to copy and go to your real computer and re encode the file online, if you want a bit of lore.
As someone who also hates CMD line functions... CD.. = go back
also the < > arent necessary just the the filename works
The reason the battery dissapears is cauze the way the “door” is scripted is like a normal elevator which is smaller and perhaps i suppose you have to get the battery in the middle fot it to detect it
Being a programmer and watching you suffer to use a terminal was so much fun hahahahahaha we've all been there one day, it's normal to get confused with how cd (Change Directory) works at first sight
Fun Fact: In the hacking section the cd stands for Change Directory which is why you must type it in before moving what "files" your in.
15:44 You seem like your soul left your body for a moment
19:29 Nunca se me ocurrió usar una empanada para ciclismo. Buena idea 👍
13:36 one must imagine Scrapman happy
Scrapman has never used DOS or the command prompt before. That was hard to watch.
easter egg:
the mine elevator log entry has a set of coordinates
look them up on a map of Earth
Scrapman, I would use scrap metal to make like a tailgate when you hold loose objects, like you put the object in then you build a tailgate for more immersion and security
It looks like this does in fact not predate scrap mechanic but it is after, since in the logbook it said they went out of control wich means there are more planets like the one crashlander is on and the one original scrap mechanic is
You should do the quest: When starting a mission or going into a new area (mine, HQ etc.) CLEAN UP YOUR INVENTORY :D
22:08 Yes, we noticed 😂
Btw if you want to explore that computer any more; I would not be surprised if it autocompletes if you start typing part of a file or folder name (enough to uniquely identify it) and press tab (at least all Linux/Unix shells will autocomplete, I can't remember if windows does) so you don't have to type the whole thing every time.
Maybe theres a secret base64decode (or something similar) command to decode the componentPrices.txt
if not can you copy the text from the game and alt+tab to a browser and decode it?
as a guy who works in the server administration department the 6 minutes it took you to figure out how to go back one folder was pure torture
That painful hacking attempt was just a cover up. You always knew about Haybot Autonomous Neural networks Kinematics research. It all started with milk pathfinding.. 😉
.. but yeah it was painful 🤣
Hey, Willing to try Enshrouded? Its an adventure game but building stuff is really easy to learn and possibilites are endless.
I think you should check out that 1st floor piping room quest, then go to the mines
Hey Scrapman I have an experiment for the alternator and that is the wheel powered by a wedge or a controller combo 😊
27:12 that long string is not gibberish it’s just encrypted with base64 if you can copy it than you can paste it into a decryptor and see what it sais
It is so funny to see you try to hack the computer. If you don't know the conventions that have been established, it is obviously not obvious 🤣. The brackets are meant to show you, that it is a placeholder. So you don't write the brackets, when you replace the placeholder...
remember when you did a wedge testing on wheels for infinite movement you should try that in the crashland survival it might work because I think you can make wedges in the mod
Get that pizza recipe, you need it for pizza Burgers
Make base defences with moving blocks to knock over/around the wolves/mobs
It was pain to watch since I remember even MSDOS :D cd C:/ , btw pressin TAB might help you to faster typing (it depends how far developers thought out the console)
Cg on hacking xD was funny to watch you struggle
I've never had the battery disappear on me. It's always gone in with me. Dunno what that's all about.
Also, anyone else a super noob console command person who learned all of that stuff putting in cheat codes into the game "Enter the Matrix"? That's the way you and to do it in that game. You "hacked" the operating system and "applied different coding". It was more or less just having fun with unlimited bullet time and the game breaking shenanigans that created that made it worth while.
This is really nice to watch! So I would like you not do speed through the game, but rather let it take its time.
Do as many quests as possible and try to use the things that you get to improve your weapons, your protection and your vehicles.
Oh, btw, I did upload a board with a list of all the trades to the workshop
You do not include the < and > in that. Those commands go back to the old DOS days. To go up a folder, it is: cd ... not cd . The is a placeholder that should be replaced with an actual folder name and does not include the < and >. I hope that helps. I have used DOS a lot back in the day, so I am well-versed with it. Oh, and the notepad.lnk and biker.png files did not open because you were no longer in the Desktop directory.
Editing man, top notch....
I would suggest that when you go to the mine, either gring a lot of blocks to path your way 'cause it is confusing to navigate. At least, it was for kan.
In the Component price file it says Base 64 Encoding, meaning that if you use a base 64 decoder you can find out what it means
Watching ScrapMan struggle with DOS was painful and somehow made me feel older than I am. :D
Being a computer user since Windows 3.11 (or well, C64) it hurts to see ScrapMan struggle with CD.. :)
First time the cd .. command appeared I instinctively pointed at the screen. The following minutes were of impotent pain trying to talk to past Scrapman about command line syntax... 😅
Headlamp sure helps with piping rooms
ScrapMan, besides (in front of) this yellow container (HQ) there are free bananas to pik up xD
No spoilers, but I suggest doing Ivan's final quest. It might make the mine quest a little more fun.
hey scrap man there is actually a oil pond near the bills house in the desert near his house check it
Guys i just had a deep thought
What if the person the og scrap mechanic is from for terra and the developer thought that since scrap man had captured a hay bot they put hank in the mod because he took hank back for for terra
Has ScrapMan figured out who the NPC's are named after yet?
24:47 Scrapman you're hacking, not browsing through File Explorer.
Let's say that when I did that side quest 2 weeks ago I didn't know abou the potential hazard and lost the battery for good... Then I spawned a new one and my frames were cut in half. I deleted that world cause it was unplayable. Also deleted my vehicle to get my materials back and yeah... Lost everything in the chests, so that was my last Crashlander experience...
"Because im in the fursuit" I know what it means but oh my i loved it
I think you should just keep going with the main story, it feels you’re deviating off a little much 😅
Great Series though!
22:09 Using MS-DOS or a Command Prompt is NOT programming...
And using brackets is a common way to express a variable of a certain type -- replace string with name without brackets. Can't imagine how Scrap has NEVER come across this common usage.
Plenty of people have NEVER even opened anything like a commandline tool, it is not that uncommon these days.
@GummieI
Read any user documents or have a rudimentary conversation with any IT Help Desk or helpful amateur, and they'll likely use terms in brackets to explain a variable concept.
It isn't frequent for the average user, but I would have expected Scrap to have been exposed to this concept at least once in his life.
