I Turned My FLOATING Houseboat Into a GIANT Mobile Base - IT MOVES! (Scrap Mechanic Survival Ep. 18)

hey everyone i'm cosmo and welcome to the continuation of my scrap mechanics survival adventure today i'm going to be continuing to work on my houseboat floating mining base barge thing that you guys really enjoyed and it's actually my most popular video so really excited about that and i figured i need to keep working on it so as you guys can see i'm actually at a mechanic station and it is not my mechanic station i ended up traveling all the way across the world so i could find more of these blue pallet crates so that i can keep expanding my boathouse now of course i could have used some bubble block but i figured i wanted to continue with this theme so that's exactly what i'm going to do i set out to find a bunch more of those and i actually found a bunch of them you guys may be thinking cosmo that's that's not a whole lot well one said guys let me show you oh i guess my gate doesn't go down my truck's too full alrighty so if we go over here and we open this chest you can see we got a ton more there we got okay you know what first person view alrighty bunch more in there and i think i even have some in here too nope wrong one yep there you go guys so i got a bunch of these things and i think it should be enough for now i mean we'll definitely get a decent sized expansion out of this um i also am going to take some of your guys advice and move these crates out from the middle of my boathouse you know what i'll just show you when we get there i'll just show you when we get there there's no point in talking about it while i am like three kilometers away from it i think i'm like yeah it's almost three and a half kilometers away from my home you know what three and a half kilometers doesn't seem like a lot i mean i used to walk that back and forth to school every single day growing up but uh yeah it's quite far in scrap mechanic i'm pretty far away from my home as you guys can see i got a ton of lights as well i figured you know what i need the lights i might as well collect the lights as well so i got tons and tons of lights guys now you may be asking and maybe you're not but maybe you are cosmo why didn't you put all of your crates onto your truck well guys i don't know if that's something that i should explain or show to you i think i might show it to you but like i said i'm not at my mechanic station i'm way across the world so uh once we get out of this place you're going to understand why i did not pack my truck all the way so let's get going here i've got quite a bit of a way to go home i have enough gas i have enough of everything and now really it's just it's time to come back and time to start building i didn't want to bore you guys with you know the whole collection of crates uh i figured you know we've all seen it before i'm pretty sure i showed the process in my first video so in this video i decided i'm just going to uh get some stuff done off camera and then we can get right to it so without further ado let's get right to it and i would load up my truck guys but i honestly think that it's not going to make it out this is uh it's an interesting valley that this mechanic station is in and oh boy are we getting lots of lag as you can see it's a nice nice and deep valley here and i wonder if it's my arm let's uh let's get rid of my arm here you know what let's just do that and then let's see if i get less lag i don't think that was the issue i don't think that was the issue but that's okay alrighty so as you can see it's a bit of a steep hill here getting out and i don't think my truck uh can do that with a bunch of crates on top it's probably gonna tip because from my perspective if the fully packed truck has the power to get up the hill well it will definitely tip over trying to uh try to drive on it because this is this is nutty guys look at this look at this the road just slopes down uh it's a savage road oh boy now i think this road goes through the warehouse that's right i had to cut oh oh we got an impeding danger over there you know what we're just gonna go the long way around guys we're gonna go the long way around there is something funny that i wanted to show you as well sir sir please do not approach sir step away from the vehicle step away from the vehicle no no no no no no no no okay get away from me man yeah that's right you get stuck in that fence i'm full throttle here this is rough this is this is rough i don't think a fully packed truck would make it out so here let's uh let's take the long way around i'm going to show you guys some cool that i discovered while i was on my adventures here all of this is already looted and uh and then yeah and then we'll we'll get back to the base and we'll start building i promise that won't take up too much of the video with me just driving around and uh wasting time and of course it's getting dark again or at least it feels like it a good old scrap mechanic as you guys can see i've been here as well i've been almost everywhere now i know last time i said i'm pretty sure i exhausted all of the blue crates in the whole world well i'm saying that again now and now i'm like almost certain that is the case i think there's a couple of roads that i haven't explored yet but hey hey hey hey but for the most part i think i got them all i'd like to think that there's more areas to explore i don't think i've explored everything but i guess we'll see once i need more of the blue crates i guess we'll find out if i missed any or if there's more to discover yeah i think the thing i want to show you guys is coming up hopefully i get there before it gets too too dark oh yeah this is the place this was really ridiculous when i discovered it so as you guys can see this whole house is not where it should be um when i discovered this and i'm gonna throw a screenshot up right now because i did screenshot it um this whole thing this whole house was floating above all of these things it was just floating it's like it got popped out of the ground so i basically just threw it on the lift and welded it to the ground so it doesn't lag the world out but i feel like i gotta clean all of this stuff up now so i think i'm gonna do that it's getting dark anyway um i'm gonna clean all this stuff up even though it's not my mess but i feel the need to do it uh you know so that my world doesn't lag out and then i'm going to drive home in the night and i'll see you guys at my base in the morning oh man the truck looks awesome at night looks wicked i should just keep the lights on there already guys rolling back into my hood there is my scrap mechanic station perfect got some guys on the street here guys gotta get off the road i'll run you over now i must say guys this truck is very very good now i've uh ever since i widened it out it's barely flipped and in fact it didn't flip at all on this whole adventure now once again i don't have any footage to prove that but it did happen or rather not happen so very proud of this truck also i realized the truck looks like it's got a lot of pimples on it now that's okay buddy you're just going through puberty it's temporary let's stop here quickly and see if anything happened i'm just i'm just curious guaranteed nothing happened because i wasn't in the yep i wasn't in the uh in the tile so gg alrighty let's get all this stuff back to base wait hold up where's my raft there it is i'm like it's not loading in oh geez all righty i think i'm gonna have to move it a little bit closer because i remember last time i was shuttling things to and from it and that was a bit of an ordeal oh man what's lagging guys what's lagging i got lag i got lag we're gonna place some stuff down to hopefully get rid of this flag well that's better a little bit alrighty oh yeah look at this look at this still got all of these this is gonna be awesome guys i'm so pumped i really gotta bring this raft closer i think i'm gonna try and bring it like over here oh oh we're dehydrated relax you'll be fine you'll be fine okay i'm going to release my whole barge oh it's already released perfect i guess i can grab my wood back hey hey who said you can float let's get this whole thing moved i think i'll drop it here all right let's see this thing come up [Laughter] nice does it fully float up i sure hope so [Laughter] all right we're good perfect look at this look at this way closer to land now perfect what can i say guys i mean i guess i gotta dump out my inventory and i gotta start start expanding this thing now i don't know you know let's turn the lights on i don't know exactly which way i'm going to expand it because i really like the way this looks and i don't really want to mess with this you know with this aesthetic here i don't know if this should be in the middle of the of the whole structure now or if it should be on the edge somewhere i almost feel like you know from uh like a real life uh preference perspective like if i were actually doing this in real life and had to live on this thing you know waking up kind of like ah you know you walk out and you got a nice view here don't really want to build anything in the back here you know i feel like all the business should be up front right here and we can just kind of maybe expand this way you know i don't know i don't know it'd be nice if we could get water out of uh underwater enclosures but if i build underwater i'm just gonna have water in my cabin and i don't want that but it would be cool to build like a multi-level uh boathouse type deal with a part of it submerged so that'd be neat but anyway i am gonna go and clear out my inventory i am just blabbing on now so i'm gonna do that and then we're gonna expand this thing alrighty guys the inventory is all cleared up and i'm going to start expanding the surface area of the houseboat at this point it's going to be a legitimate floating base because i'm going to have a crafting area a refining area stuff like that which will hopefully come in handy in chapter two uh when we get our mining islands and all that stuff so i'm gonna start with that and i've actually been doing some thinking and what i'm going to do is make it so that this whole barge thing and the rest of it has a divider made out of these girders and the reason for that being is i want to simulate kind of having like a detachment point if i ever just want to have the boathouse by itself and the floating mining base by itself then i can always just disconnect it you know i'm trying to figure out a way of like doing this nicely and it'd be nice to like have a way to disconnect it and connect it but also have it be one object obviously for lag reasons i don't think that's entirely possible so we're just basically going to hard connect it and if i ever want to disconnect it then all i got to do is just you know remove these girder pieces not a big deal i think i think that'll do for now i just can't really figure out a good way to do it otherwise you know like if i were to take off these railings and all this stuff and expand it outwards i mean i guess i could do that but then we're kind of you know taken away from this whole houseboat aesthetic so i kind of want to keep that and also expand it so i think we're just gonna you know go out this way and maybe make it a little bit wider and then make it move but i keep talking i really should just get to it i wish you guys were here to just tell me to shut up and get to work but here i am telling myself that shut up and get to work [Music] like [Music] already guys finally a little bit of daylight and as you can see this thing is getting pretty big i don't think i'm going to make it any bigger than this i am already going to have lots of trouble moving this whole thing i'm just going to add this piece right here if i can there you go get out of the way and uh yeah so here's the new expanded platform i think this should give me enough space to uh you know get a crafting area set up uh stuff like that i don't think i'm gonna be farming because well you just simply can't uh but you know this is pretty good it's funny watching it like lean to the back a little because there's so much more weight in the back but this will even out it will even out with time that's not a problem it does look like it's kind of tilted to the side which is concerning because i mean it should be even but i guess maybe it is i don't know man maybe it's a little bit tilted i gotta throw some weight down and maybe uh you know maybe even it a little bit i guess the next thing that i build is going to be built on this side so that she levels out a little bit but anyway enough rambling once again it's time to try and make this thing move i'm going to build a bit of like a captain's tower here almost like a bridge get up into it and control the whole barge but i think i'm gonna do that first because i'm going to require controls anyway and then uh we'll actually start adding some thrusters and steering and all that fun stuff but i do have a bunch of these crates left so maybe i'll use it to uh you know add a little more buoyancy once i need it i am going to place this here um you know just out of the way for now perfect who cares get this guy back in here don't know why i deleted it i thought maybe i could do something else but i do like how this is right now and without further ado let me go get more materials and jump into another time lapse [Music] [Music] so oh boy here we go [Music] alrighty guys finally daytime again it feels like it's always nighttime in this game i say this every time but that's because it's true it always feels like it's nighttime the uh the bridge is coming along quite nicely actually it is a very very big project guys i think i uh i think i took on quite a bit in this episode i probably should have either made it move or expanded it and not you know done both but i kind of feel like one was necessary for the other to happen so here we are we're just gonna keep going i think i'm like two and a half hours into this episode already and that's counting the time taken to collect all of these extra pallets uh so you know if i do miss something i do apologize guys but it is a big project it's taking me some time and any missed details will be added in the future so i'm just really excited to get this done and actually moving i've got six gas tanks here with me right now which i already had five and i just made a sixth one i figured i'm going to have six thrusters to start with i don't know if that'll be enough it probably won't be we're probably going to be extremely slow but that's okay because it's a big barge and what do we expect right can't expect it to move as fast as speed boat now i'm wondering as to why my whole thing feels like it's tilting to the one side maybe maybe that's just me maybe that's just me but it kind of feels like yeah maybe that's just me but yeah guys just wanted to give you a quick update before i get back into another time lapse here things are going pretty well you know the spirits are up you know the mood is positive we'll uh we'll get her done i'll see you guys on the other side don't fall don't forget all the things you've been taught you've been told don't blink don't run don't turn left to turn right or look straight at this side my mind's gone in circles i'm trying to fight it get in these voices since i just ain't [Music] quiet till it's all said and done [Music] until you break down break down [Music] they say be me look [Music] is [Music] [Applause] you won't know what it is [Music] until you break down [Music] all righty guys things are going along pretty well here i've got a door going on here as you can see it doesn't uh doesn't fit the door frame very well but that's okay i was kind of going for a ship door and well that's as close as it's gonna get now i am getting very close to having the bridge finished which is great because then we can move on to actually getting the thing to move hopefully the suspension glitch is capable of moving this whole thing at least side to side i'm obviously going to use thrusters for front to back but uh yeah we're we're definitely going to need a strong suspension glitch to steer this thing now you guys may also notice that we're kind of starting to go underwater here not uh not very very floaty as you can see uh clearly a little too much weight in the back here so what we're gonna do is just add a couple more crates and hopefully that helps did that help oh boy still uh still sinking just a little bit hey at least the back end is uh is nice and high [Laughter] alrighty well i think i need to maybe maybe take some of this bubble block probably make way more bubble block actually i should probably do that i think i gotta make a quick oil run here to go and get more more material for bubble block we got to make this thing float again you know having some flotation issues but that's not a big deal we got this we can handle this this is not a problem it's a bit of a problem but you know we got this alrighty guys oh man for you it's probably been like five seconds for me it's been like half an hour but my inventory is full of oil well basically i got these chests full of oil and i got these guys mostly full of oil i just i didn't feel like waiting anymore every time i go to do something it's nighttime so seeing as it's morning right now i'm going to take advantage of that get back to my base and keep building alrighty back at base rolling on up oh man the barge is looking awesome i can't wait for it to actually be above the water because that doesn't look good how does it look good i'll tell you guys that it's making me a little bit nervous but let's get all of our stuff out of here and i'm going to get the bubble block production going and then while that's happening i'm probably going to end up building a little more but for now i just want to make sure that you know we get the bubble block so much oil so much bubble block all the bubble block give it to me i like seeing that asterisk that tells me that i can uh i can make a lot of stuff so while that's happening i am going to go and keep working on this thing unfortunately it is kind of sinking but that's okay i really like how that looks guys so i think i'm actually gonna go and get more of these uh crates wooden crates man this is a long episode this is fun though i'm excited to get this thing all finished up this is gonna be awesome [Music] gotta love daylight rolling back up to the base here i'm excited to keep building i got a bunch of thirsty thirsty well guess what you ain't drinking until you get some more work done i'll have to come back for that yeah so excited to keep building got a bunch of those wooden crates to line the sides of my barge with at this point i'm calling it a barge like it's a houseboat but it's also a barge at this point oh okay good i was gonna say i don't want to kill him i don't have to go and pick that stuff up so almost back at base here stuff's loading back in oh man that thing looks like it's sinking i mean it is sinking it's just you know a little bit underwater alrighty oh boy look at all this lag beautiful so we're back got a bunch of stuff uh let's figure out why the lags happening was it the truck it was definitely the truck i think i got way too many of those crates but i was like you know what i'm so far that if i have to come back it's gonna suck so i got a bunch of the crates [Music] all righty that side is done i don't like how it's sinking so much oh man it honestly feels like i'm on an actual boat like it's uh feels very tippy i don't like it hopefully all the extra bubble block fixes that for me because this is this is unacceptable guys i think i got way too many of those crates but that's okay really curious to see how our bubble block production is doing granted i've been gone so you know probably not great oh whoops right i forgot this guy uh this guy needs nutrients wow i can build a lot of stuff with crates i got a lot of crates [Laughter] i went a little ham but i was like i'd rather have more crates than not enough crates you know i really want to know why the whole thing's tipping like i don't feel like i really have such a great disbalance that it's that crooked but i guess i guess it is i guess it is yeah because like the water line is like just above the final crate here and then if we go to this side it's way above the final crate so something's going on guys gonna have to add uh gonna have to i guess add more bubble block to the one side than the other i wonder if it has something to do maybe with maybe these things do these things weigh a lot kind of not really though that's odd that's odd i don't know what's up don't know what's up guys alrighty gonna go check in the bubble block kind of want to start leveling this thing out before i uh before i start putting thrusters on it lots of bubble block not a whole lot actually still still making it still making it but that's okay let's go see if we can make this thing float a little more [Music] [Music] hmm [Music] well well well guys luke who decided they want to float so i finally got it to float i didn't have to re-float it there for a bit it wasn't straightening out by itself uh so i just kind of had to put it on a lift and let it float back up but it looks like we're pretty even in the water now guys super excited about that i did have to add a bunch of bubble block as you can see that is all bubble block but that's okay i still got more in the works probably gonna add more to here eventually probably gonna add more underneath here when i start adding things to uh my actual platform here i'm definitely going to leave this whole space open for this episode guys this is where i'm going to have a crafting area maybe maybe because i don't know how heavy it's going to be maybe i'll have a little area like cordoned off for like a very small mining vehicle we'll see but uh that'd be really cool uh but i'll definitely have like a craft bot some refineries stuff like that uh so that'll be that'll be really neat i think so now that this thing floats i'm going to get back to actually uh you know the aesthetics and making it move i think we're at the point where i'm gonna make it move um if we go into here then oh i i need to put more chests here this is going to be my storage area but if we go here as you can see i have two doors on the sides now i don't know if i talked about this but two doors i can walk out i can see what's up uh all the buttons and the electrical stuff guys will get fixed in the future it's just that i'd rather spend time you know making this thing move rather than you know making the doors have different switches um i got a fridge here you know because the captain gets hungry um can i not get past here oh my goodness i like can't get past here i gotta move this button this button has to go where where are you gonna go button we'll just put the button on the door there we go problem solved cool alrighty so that's the button is it getting dark out again hold up hold up hold up it's getting dark out again okay i don't understand what's going on guys i like do stuff and then it's night time again it sucks i got a fridge here you know because like i said captain gets hungry uh i got i got a radio because you know captain gets bored man this looks awesome i cannot wait for this thing to actually like move that'll be wicked obviously it's a bit of a bit of a tight space here but that's okay can we can we move back here yeah kind of it's all good it's all good some of this is just purely for aesthetic guys you know just to kind of make it look cool and oh boy i got nice big shiny lights here i'm gonna have to paint those up anyway i'm gonna get back to working on it i it seems like whenever i talk i start rambling because i'm feeling kind of manic from doing this for like four hours now i think i might take a break here soon and get back to it but for you guys it's just gonna be you know a split second uh anyway less talking more building i'm probably gonna set up these lights again and then we'll go from there [Music] oh man the barge looks so cool i love it i love it let's turn these lights on i love it [Music] [Music] oh [Music] [Music] alrighty guys so as far as i'm concerned the boat floats that may change and in fact that will change when i start adding heavier stuff to it uh but i think it will also change when i start adding some thrusters here thrusters and steering really the two biggest things that need to be done in order for this thing to move um i'm definitely not going to be using thrusters to maneuver i think that's going to be a waste of gas and i don't really think we're gonna get anywhere so i am going to use the suspension glitch for steering and uh hopefully that will be enough uh i'm going to be using six thrusters i'll explain to you why six so as you can see here i've got four thrusters i don't even know what level these are level two thrusters might have to upgrade them can i upgrade them there once upgraded boom another is upgraded i need 20 more component kits which i believe i have but anyway we'll get to that so i was saving these guys to make a hovercraft out of my old truck like i originally intended to if you guys watched my previous episodes i uh this was my first ever truck that i built in this game um it has since been upgraded a little bit but i also just kind of kept it around as you can see it's a bit gutted i took a lot of parts off of it but i did keep the shell because i want to you know kind of pay a tribute to my first truck and turn it into a hover truck i thought that'd be really neat of course it's dark out again but as always but yeah i think you know the barge kind of takes priority here so i'm going to be using these thrusters to power my barge i'm gonna have four of those and unfortunately guys i am going to be robbing the thrusters off my boat here i have three thrusters on here they're level five and i'm going to steal two of them i hate to do that i really wish i could keep them but you know what i don't have the resources to make more thrusters right now and it's been a long episode not enough time resources and will to make more thrusters so i'm just going to use what i have and you know that kind of leaves me with six i do have a seventh one there but if i want to have kind of two clusters one on either side of the ship uh then you know i need to have an even number of thrusters so without further ado i am going to start the final stage of this whole thing and that's well making it move i'm going to build some thruster clusters thruster cluster that's cool some thruster clusters and i'm going to build a suspension steering setup probably in the middle area here because i wanted to be like you know central to the ship and hopefully this whole thing moves guys hopefully my efforts are not futile i'll see you guys in the morning [Music] so [Music] what [Music] all righty guys one short curbside visit from con gaming later uh he needed some paint believe it or not uh we need pain in real life as well but uh yeah all this stuff is done it's ready to be put on the boat let's let's do it let's do it this episode is so long i just want to i just want to drive this thing i think we're going to do steering first let's bring the steering with us gotta get the boat on the lift and i think i'm going to put the steering like right here perfect let's get this guy welded in it's really fun to like build something and then weld in a component i know i know it's like i could have easily just built it on the boat but uh just makes it that much more fun to actually you know build it and then weld it to the boat cool look at that missing some glass but that's okay oh when i whacked it i i broke a bunch of glass whoopsie daisy already got some more glass we're gonna throw that in there we're going to probably just coat this with some wood and i'm going to paint that blue afterwards and we're going to fill up the bottom with some bubble block just to you know get any any extra buoyancy that we can here you know it's uh it's all important all buoyancy matters i've beached my barge and i haven't even driven it yet [Laughter] oh boy the first task is going to be to get this thing turned around away from the shore please float there we go all right let's get this thing hooked up actually i really hope this works i like if it can't steer it can't move like that's that's just the reality of it so oh my goodness i don't think it can steer oh boy oh boy do we need like a crazy steering system for it okay okay i'm not gonna let this you know toward my progress i am going to go and get my thruster clusters and we're gonna attach the thruster clusters and see if that works you know just kind of uh hoping for the best here guys and not sure what's gonna happen oh geez i'm so screwed like if i have to put 100 thrusters on this i'll put a hundred thrusters on this it's going to suck but i'm going to do it maybe i'm doing the suspension glitch wrong i got to look into that as well i feel like you guys are either laughing at me right now because i did something extremely wrong or you're just face palming because this whole project's too massive to move my thrusters don't float that's already a bad sign alrighty there is one thruster cluster i gotta get some fuel as well here gotta put some stuff away first okay second thruster cluster is it night time again god dang it thruster cluster two has been installed excellent uh we can't turn so that's okay all right gotta get some fuel gotta get some fuel and buy some fuel i mean all the fuel because this thing is going to be a gas guzzler also i'm curious to see if these thrusters like overweight me a bunch ah they didn't i guess uh this thing's already so big that they're only a small fraction of the total weight all right let's get the fuel inside the fuel canisters guys if this doesn't move i'm gonna cry i'm gonna cry i'm gonna do it oh man all right we're waiting till daylight we're waiting till daylight we gotta we gotta do this during daylight because if this doesn't work at least it'll be sunny out alrighty guys while i was waiting for daylight i decided to try another suspension glitch setup uh this is probably what i'm going to leave it at in this episode whether it works or not um i'll probably have to figure out a different steering setup in a different episode but you know hopefully uh hopefully this kind of works so let's give this a try i'm gonna get it all welded in again and uh we'll we'll give her a go we'll definitely check with the thrusters work i'm i'm super nervous for that guys i'm just avoiding it i'm avoiding it that's i'm not gonna lie i'm avoiding it well guys unfortunately that's not cutting it i might need a lot of suspension glitching like a lot um i don't know about you guys but i don't want to press this button i don't want to let anybody down i don't want to press this button but you know what let's press the button and if this thing moves we're going to call it a success i don't care what anybody says we're going to call this a success as long as it moves if it can't steer that's fine we'll figure that out later as long as it moves i'm i'm legitimately nervous guys i've been doing this for several hours now and if this doesn't work i don't know i i just don't know let's just do it three two one go is it moving [Laughter] oh no i mean i mean we're moving i don't know if i'm gonna call this a success guys wait wait wait wait wait wait hold up hold up hold up max thrust let's go we need max thrust i was on minimal thrust we need max thrust oh my gosh we're moving guys we're moving yes go the little barge that couldn't get back in the captain's ship i mean captain seat okay okay we're going we're going it's it's moving it's moving it's not steering but it's moving [Laughter] oh geez slowly but surely how we do it on fuel oh no we're burning like one fuel every guys it's like a fuel every five seconds or rather sixth fuel every five seconds oh no i mean it's moving i need a lot more thrusters guys i need a lot more thrusters i need a lot more fuel i mean that's just that's just the reality of it i i need a lot more stuff [Laughter] oh my goodness if you guys have any better ideas to make this thing move by all means please let me know in the comments below i guess i can go grind for some component kids to uh boost these up to a level five but even then i mean who knows guys who knows i think what i'm gonna do is i am gonna go and try and get more component kits it's going to take me some time i'm going to take a bit of a break i want to get some flowers so i can paint all of this up and uh yeah i i got to get more fuel i have to get more component kits i have to get a bunch more stuff i feel like this isn't the most efficient thing ever and by that i mean it is not efficient at all but maybe we can salvage it i'm still really pumped on this even if it just like sits and looks pretty i don't mind like it's this thing is cool it's just that i do wish that it moved a little bit quicker that's okay it's a work in progress let's call it that alrighty guys i'm gonna go i'm going to get some flowers i'm going to get some more component kits and then i'm gonna paint this thing up upgrade those thrusters and hopefully well hopefully this thing moves a little bit faster already guys i don't know how long it's been honestly i didn't take a break i just kind of kept going i really wanted to get this thing done i got really excited for it and i still am i still am i have yet to test something else guys i couldn't uh i couldn't live it down also what's going on here why it seems a little low in the water usually refloating it helps so i guess we'll see that's looking better much better awesome okay so here's what i did guys if you notice my thruster clusters are now four deep so i grinded like 130 component kits guys i made an extra thruster i upgraded that thruster to level five i upgraded the bottom level three thrusters two level fives and of course i stole the one thruster uh from the boat because this thing is all the helping yeah guys good old uss hard work pays off not sure if hard work pays off is a good uh name for this ship seeing as i work my butt off and uh i'm still having a hard time to get it to move but that's okay that's okay because it's still it's still awesome this is gonna need some work 100 i'm probably gonna probably gonna get some advice from either khan or somebody else uh most likely khan see what he thinks about this you know if i need to replicate this like you know six times then maybe i'll do that maybe my whole floor is just gonna be suspension glitches i don't know i don't know what it's gonna take to steer this thing but uh you know maybe that's gonna be something for another episode now i actually don't have all these lights hooked up to a button but that's okay small details that are not important right now oh geez i'm just i'm just curious to see if the extra thrusters actually help it move so i'm gonna make sure they're all level five perfect what about this side yep perfect sounds good let's go back up i did uh i did paint it i did paint it as you can see guys i had exactly one paint left there's some things that i haven't painted yet like this right here probably going to get that done later off camera my stairs aren't painted uh my floor is not that's that's no oh i don't have my extra paint left oh no oh no my chests aren't painted you know but uh the cabin's painted you know more or less i mean it's uh got my button up here now because was getting in the way again if we exit out here it's uh it's nice it's nice i really like the view very cool so close that up again get in our seat guys don't know if this is gonna move i have no clue this is gonna move but uh it looks great it looks great and that's all that matters right [Laughter] but no in all seriousness i know this is a bit slow right now but we are going to get this thing to move faster i ended up robbing all the fuel from my truck uh because i just i didn't feel like going and getting more fuel just like i didn't feel like going and getting more flowers i've i've been doing a lot of grinding today guys i think this is the most that i've done for an episode before uh considering the first time that i built the house boat i kind of had most of that stuff already uh whereas most of this stuff i had to go hunting for alrighty well you know what without further babbling let's see how much faster this thing is with eight thrusters on full power eight level five thrusters on full power in three two one go okay so like we're moving right i mean we're moving that's a good thing [Laughter] oh man you know what guys i'll take it eventually i am going to add more thrusters i'm going to need a lot of fuel for this thing like we're sucking we're sucking back mad gas right now i'm sure i'm sure of it let's see yeah like we're we're going a little going a little nutty on the gas here guys but it is what it is i mean it's you know kind of what we expected to happen i do think i need to add more flotation just because uh it does seem to settle down a bit after a while but that's okay got tons more bubble block as well this thing is a work in progress guys let me know in the comments below guys if you would have rather seen me expand this thing in one episode and try and make it move in another episode i try to combine uh both into one a because well i know you guys were probably anticipating another houseboat episode just like i was i was excited to make this one um but are we actually sinking i keep thinking we're sinking we're totally fine also why are these like miscolored are these i'm i'm totally i'm totally going off track here but i just i need to know okay i need to know why certain things are different colors okay whatever who cares it's a scrap boat okay it's a scrap boat but yeah let me know what you guys think i don't even know how long this episode ended up being to be honest with you um i got a lot of uh a lot of footage i have like four hours of footage so it's probably going to be a relatively long one i mean most of it is time lapses so i hope you guys enjoyed those this is where we're at it's expanded it kind of moves and i guess uh there's just you know some major improvements left to do i was going to say minor but the fact that it doesn't steer is a bit of a bit of a problem and the fact that it moves very slowly isn't necessarily a problem because what i'm thinking too is like this thing won't be moving a whole lot you know like we're gonna park it up at an island somewhere we're gonna do our thing and then if we want to move what i'm basically going to do is tear in the direction that i want to go in and then just throw the thrusters on and do my thing you know do my crafting do whatever it is i want to do you know maybe read a book i don't know uh but the biggest thing is making this thing steer quickly you know i gotta make it steer quickly otherwise we're not gonna be going anywhere very fast oh boy i don't i don't like this whole sinky sinky can we not do the sinky sinky i gotta add some more floatation i'm gonna add some more flotation later i'm done doing things guys i keep i keep trying to improve it but i think it's time to call it a day here just look at this bridge look at this bridge could definitely be better but i think that looks awesome the observation deck on the top or rather you know the actual bridge on top my mouth and brain aren't coordinating very well right now but yeah this looks awesome uh seeing it from first person looks pretty sweet i can kind of see the whole ship up front except for this divider but that's okay that's okay we're gonna be in third person most of the time anyway ah this looks cool guys this looks cool we're gonna make it work better we're gonna make it go faster a little bit faster we're gonna make it steer that's the next big thing is making the boat steer i did make it move so technically you know technically the title is not click bait please don't hate me um obviously we didn't expect it to be a jet boat you know we uh we just wanted to have it move period and uh yeah steering steering will get worked out i'm gonna stop going in circles guys i think i think this is a good place to call it quits for the time being uh like i said we'll definitely come back to it but in any case guys let me know what you thought about the video in the comments below if you did enjoy the video please click the like button it really helps the video be seen by
