You posted this two days after I figured out how to make it myself. It took a few hours of agony and watching clips in slow motion, but it paid off. 10/10 would do again
Welp, i tried to make one in survival without watching any vids and it didnt work. I guess i know what I'm making next cause i keep running out of fuel
Perfect design, using real combustion engine principles such as an even firing interval, given this is a three cylinder they fire 120 degrees apart and a four cylinder would every 90 along with how you talk about the secondary forces where the pistons if unbalanced will shake a lot making it 6 cylinders where it is the 3 cylinder but mirrored.Thank you so much I’m getting this game for this alone
Dude massive thanks, this is awesome. modified yours into a 2 cyl design, similar but works better for my applications. You know its a good tutorial when someone whos bad at the game can make a modification of the design you showed in said tutorial. :)
I've been watching your videos for a long time, together with scrapman and moonbo ... I've never had scrap mechanic ... survival comes out, the hype rises, steam offers it and of course I buy it ... I start survival and I seem to be 2 years old and playing with cubes with letters, my constructions are an abomination ... I see your video on the piston engine and I take an intensive course to understand how they work, how to build them but above all how they use the controls, I don't even know how to weld and it all farlo off in pieces every time ... I can finally understand after 6 hours how to do it... AND ONLY AFTER YOU PUBLISH THIS VIDEO ... lol
Tip for people building: upgrade the controller to level 3 and connect the forwards piston to it, now set the piston to go 1 block when the controller is on and make sure the controller is set to repeat. After that connect the controller to your seat and now when you hold W you will go forwards!
I followed your tutorial and made myself a little 1 drill bit mining car, to get started with, works a treat, I put a off-road suspension I found in a box between the drill bit and the front of the car, and it really helped reduce recoil. I then decided to try to package up and deliver crates of veggies, and omg this thing will carry a load. Reminds me of my old Mule lol, slow but just keeps on goin', up hill down hill, around hills lol I know you said there were better engines out there, but for a starter car this thing is awesome. =)
thank you so much kan, i currently having a oil shortage on my survival world because there are no oil ponds nearby. so this design helped a ton when i needed to find a oil pond one problem, its rather brittle.
Works fine for me. it did take me a couple of hours ( I forgot the bearing behind the piston sensor). Had to follow his guide and connect everything in order and make sure parts were correctly welded and when making modifications, it depends on whether or not the whole structure is on a lift or not. The order of when installing stuff matters on and off a lift as seen on his video. Now I need to upgrade my pistons to have more force.
i did the same but i didn't have much difficulty it took me like 20 minutes. mine looks a little bit different though and its not block for block but it works the same way.
@@Omlet221 I kept missing really simple parts cause whenever I blinked I missed something - mostly without noticing for a good while. ended up getting an exact replica by the end of it which is pretty fun, though
Wow I was literally going to pull up a video on piston engines and going to try and build one RIGHT NOW, then THIS video shows up on my feed. HOW did you KNOW I wanted this kAN? Love the videos, though I think multiplayer ones are my favorite.
Kan, a cool idea for a piston engine would be to use pistons powering half the revolution and then suspension for the ”dead part”. Probably very hard to control, but would be cool to see if it made the engine more powerful
KAN ur the best man this video helped me a lot thx i spet six hours 11:00pm-5:00am just making a car for the pist0n engine which was great because i hate oil runs
I love this engine design it works great on my piston powered R.V. Reason: It has low amount of brearings is easy to make and fits perfect in my R.V. ! Thx Kan!
how do you make it attach to both at the same time thats what i cant do it just only ataches to one part and i dont know how to make it atach to both 3:15
This'll be really useful when I play Survival again! Gasoline seems annoying to get, since I think you get it from crude oil. So I'm happy there's a (kind of) costless engine :)
So I have been watching Scrapman for a couple weeks, so naturally, I've seen you around, but recently I followed a youtube tutorial that was posted to steam. I am just now finding out it was this built by you! I thought that was kinda funny... Thanks for the builds, keep up the good work!
Hey Kan i spent like and hour re building and cheaking this to try and make it but it does not work do u mind putting it on your blueprints or something?
Needs to be in a lift and the parts touching 2 parts that are separated by 2 or more bearings can be connected if you aim at one, hold left click, and aim at the other then let go
You could save a component kit from the sensor by putting the control pistons in the middle - as in flip and move 1 set of piston/sensors, and move the control pistons in between.
I am not sure of the specifics, but Alstrak's piston engine has the equivalent of the 3 blocks you push tilted once he gets speed, apparently there's some sensor delay or something, so it makes it go faster.
(for base defense) you could make a piston engine that spins a few pistons connected to the middle or even the sides of the engine (that are extended so they will kind of come out of the top of the engine and spin basically how a wheel would ) enough that they don't make contact with anything(because pistons don't have collision physics ) and have saws or something at the end so that it deals large amounts of damage to any farm bots that try to harm your crops.
You could possibly use (even in survival) the controller on a bearing and connect the controller to the seat and use sensors to make this engine on W and S.
I improvised a crappy suspension glitch powered propulsion system for my car, but it's big and ugly, and turning is a pain too, so i think i'm gonna stick to your design for now until i refine my own. Thanks for the tutorial by the way, really helped to understand the mechanics, i only got the game today cause of survival update
thanks so much! I really like this style of video like a reference to inspire builds. You could use this format for different types of suspensions, irrigation, automation for mining/lumbering etc, and I hope you consider it!

You know kAN's spent a lot of time in survival when he doesn't paint his bearings anymore in creative.
oh yeah ive broken the habit as well. its just like screw this im tryna survive who cares about wasting paint.
I painted my bed red like in Minecraft, and my lights white, and also some parts cyan
@@Woolsupgamers5 i dont even paint my lights white, they illuminate good enough
I dont paint my bearing because I cant be bothered with it.
I just build orange builds
You posted this two days after I figured out how to make it myself. It took a few hours of agony and watching clips in slow motion, but it paid off. 10/10 would do again
But why though?
I'm getting Minecraft redstone tutorial flashbacks because of this
NitramiuZ it’s quite simple
Welp, i tried to make one in survival without watching any vids and it didnt work. I guess i know what I'm making next cause i keep running out of fuel
I have SOOOOOO much fuel
Scrap mechanic has a lot more possibilities for engineering than minecraft.
@@bithisarkar1412 Check out Sci-craft, you may change your mind
I don't understand why anyone would dislike this video. It's brief, and super informative. Thanks Kan!
Because he stole the design from Al Magma who made and designed it 6 months earliee
Awesome. I've wanted to find a simple piston engine tutorial even before survival came out :)
Yo-Ya know that sms was released on the 7th of May right?
@@fahren1884 And?
@@fahren1884 Are you ok? You should prob read the comment properly before commenting.

Thank you so much for making a tutorial I was trying to slow down your video and copy your piston engine from the survival series
Really appreciate this build tutorial. Just got into Scrap Mechanic for survival and don't have any prior build experience. This really helps.
Thank you for taking your time to explain this! It is very helpful, cheers!
OMG i just got this game yesterday and i'm already overwhelmed. thanks for this, it helped a lot!
*THANK YOU* I've been wondering how to make piston engines for so long and all of mine have locked up before this lol
thank you so much kan, i currently having a oil shortage on my survival world because there are no oil ponds nearby. so this design helped a ton when i needed to find a oil pond one problem, its rather brittle.
Are you going to upload an episode of survival today? I’m hooked on that series worse than tiger king
I hope so
Same
I am but its MP with Kosmo :P
@@kANGaming this is kinda weird to ask but do you have a P.O. Box or something
kAN Gaming im pretty happy they also added multiplayer at the release, ive been playing with one of my friends for a few days and its pretty fun
No way! I’ve wanted this for years! thx awesome

thank you so did i
dude, i commented it on your video, i didnt thought that you would actually make a video about it! you rock!
I spent like 2 hours two days ago trying to copy the engine from your video
yeah same
I ended up slowing down his Noob Vs Pro video and copied that build. That one was a pain in the butt ^^;
@Chao Yep... Pain In The Butt
i did the same but i didn't have much difficulty it took me like 20 minutes. mine looks a little bit different though and its not block for block but it works the same way.

Hot tip: If you are trying to go at high speeds, switch the piston lengths to 2 instead of 3 to have it run smoothly!
Your welcome 😉
I know im 2 years late but yeah it helps, less bounce.
@@tjhedgescout3052 same here, good tip tho

Thank you, I literally searched for a piston engine tutorial yesterday but couldn't find a good one.
Omg THANK YOU I have been wanting a tatorial of this engine cuz I need it just in case I get survival
Amazing video as always! You made so much progress in scrap mechanic survival! Keep up the good work!
Very cool.. I got this game a while ago but I've never really played it much. I never knew you could do this type of building. Thanks for the video
Yess ty been trying to find a good video tutorial of a piston engine thank you
I just started playing Scrap Mechanic for the first time, I will definitely have to give this a try awesome piston engine!
thanks, exactly what I needed
I had to watch ur noob v pro video at 0.25x speed to replicate it for survival yesterday and now you release this lol
Kan, a cool idea for a piston engine would be to use pistons powering half the revolution and then suspension for the ”dead part”. Probably very hard to control, but would be cool to see if it made the engine more powerful
Thumbs up!! I had some juddering but fixed it by adding a pipe to each 'outer' wheel bearing and welding the pipe to the chassis, :)
Thank you. I was *this* close to putting your timelapse in ur noob vs pro piston powered challenge into slow mo and doing it that way lol
THANK YOU! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have spent hours on trying to make one of these!
Yay finally a good guide to piston engines
KAN ur the best man this video helped me a lot thx

DUDE YES I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT FOR 3 DAYS NOW
Thank you kan
Thx so much I found a piston engine like yours and I’m going to make it and I needed this
Very helpful, great introduction to piston engines
Brilliant design. I like it.
Really I spent about an hour to copy your design from your survival series and a day later you come out with a tutorial
This'll be really useful when I play Survival again! Gasoline seems annoying to get, since I think you get it from crude oil. So I'm happy there's a (kind of) costless engine :)
New to the game but after a few tries got it working thanks
Let’s not talk about the fact that kAN started on a toilet
What are you talking about he made the video on a toilet
SIDEWAYS
srry i had to keep it 69 likes WAIT THE number 69 LOOKS LIKE THE YIN YANG SYMBOL
I don't think that a toilet I think this is a 1900000 bucks video game chair
So I have been watching Scrapman for a couple weeks, so naturally, I've seen you around, but recently I followed a youtube tutorial that was posted to steam. I am just now finding out it was this built by you! I thought that was kinda funny...
Thanks for the builds, keep up the good work!
My attempt at building one of these wasn't far off, but now it works way better!
"Noodle bendy guy"
Guys we got a new name for the thing. Dammit i dont even have a name for it
elbow. its called an elbow (90 degree to be precise).
I call it curved pipe but everyone's there own. Noodle it is now
Thank you for the beginner friendly tutorial.
Thx you Ian I love all your videos this will help me so much thx kan
That creative piston glitch is interesting, you might be able to make something cool if you're creative enough! Also nice tutorial!
I was like 'hmm I really need a car but not have any fuel, so I will use kANs piston engine tutorial' (10/10)
Thanks KAN I now know how to build piston car
Keep up the good work
Perfect. It's just what I wanted. Thank you, kAN!
Very good! i finally understood how to do that! thanks!
Hey you could use the piston engine as a sprinkler. Just put it horizontally and then put some water cannons on the gear thingy.
Really helpful! Now I won't need fuel anymore!
Thank you so much i subscribed and liked you deserve it keep up the good work ! :D
Hey Kan i spent like and hour re building and cheaking this to try and make it but it does not work do u mind putting it on your blueprints or something?
Thanks Kan. Very well explained and easy to follow. Can you maybe do a tutorial on how you build the mining rig too? That thing was awesome.
You can also put the wheels on the outside and use another piston or suspension to bring the rotation through the block
This is exactly what I needed
I never knew you could do that with the welder, steering linkages here I come!
Thank you soooo much. Gonna start building one of these !!
3:24 how do you weld like that? When I try to weld using the normal left click it does not work
Needs to be in a lift and the parts touching
2 parts that are separated by 2 or more bearings can be connected if you aim at one, hold left click, and aim at the other then let go
@@rewrew897 thanks
I made a very similar engine and it really helped to change the shape of piston sensor things from an I shape to upside down L
Thats awesome, thanks for uploading the tutorial.
OMG thank you SOOOO much. I been playing with piston in creative for almost 4 days but could ever figure anything out.
Man when u made the roadster on noob vs pro i replayed the video in slow motion to rebuild it, and it worked and it was crazy good fast and powerfull
I've been needing this.
We appreciate you :)
OMG SO USEFUL!!!!!!!!!!
We need survival mods still, though.
Thank you I needed to now how to make this
You could save a component kit from the sensor by putting the control pistons in the middle - as in flip and move 1 set of piston/sensors, and move the control pistons in between.
thx I am hopefully getting the game myself soon
Very helpful thank you. That's how my gasoline shortage was solved. 👍👍
kan do piston powered race again for multip monday and you try to make a V6 engine
I am not sure of the specifics, but Alstrak's piston engine has the equivalent of the 3 blocks you push tilted once he gets speed, apparently there's some sensor delay or something, so it makes it go faster.
can you make a 4 piston engine? will it be faster?
Thanks kan ☺️!

Thank you so much for this tutorial kAN, going be building this live in survival on my twitch stream tonight. I'll be linking my views back here.
Awesome. So for a car you could have this rigged up for RWD and then have a driver's seat with steering bearing on the front tires, or something.
I was actually going to look up how to do this.

thx man this helped me make one!
thanks so much! I really like this style of video like a reference to inspire builds. You could use this format for different types of suspensions, irrigation, automation for mining/lumbering etc, and I hope you consider it!
Found out it’s useful to set the pistons to 2 because sometimes the sensors are half a block in and don’t sense one of the blocks
Only works if you have color sensing on
Thanks man. Now I have a car with pistons, cv joints and basic gears.
Will you ever stream yourself building or playing survival?
reminds me of jump rope when i was little
ahhh the memorys
What settings u use?
Thanks kan finaly i know how to make it :)
