About Trailmakers:
In the toughest motoring expedition in the universe, you and your friends will build your own vehicles to cross a dangerous wasteland. Explore, crash horribly, use your wits to build a better rig, and get as far as you can with whatever spare parts you find on your way.
Welcome to the Ultimate Expedition!
Journey over grueling mountains, hazardous swamps, and bone-dry deserts on a distant world far from civilization - it is just you, your fellow adventurers and the amazing, jet-powered hover-buggy you built yourself. Explore, crash your vehicle, build a better one, and get as far as you can with whatever spare parts you find along your way.
Trailmakers is about building very awesome vehicles and machines, but you don’t need an engineering degree to get started. The intuitive builder will get you going in no time. Everything you build is made from physical building blocks. Each block has unique features like shape, weight and functionality. They can be broken off, refitted and used to build something new. Individually the blocks are fairly simple, but combined the possibilities are endless.
Expedition Mode is the challenging campaign mode of Trailmakers. You are competing in an off-world rally expedition with only a few building blocks to get you started. You must build, tinker with and rebuild your machine to progress. Journey through a big world, overcome deep gorges, angry wildlife and dangerous weather to progress and find new parts that will juice up your machine. The world in Expedition Mode will test your survival skills and ingenuity.
Sandbox Mode is where you want to head for an unrestricted, sandbox, vehicle-building experience. Here you can build anything you can dream of, and play around with it in the world of Trailmakers. It is a great place to test out crazy machines, and experiment with the physics engine. With tons of different blocks, hinges, thrusters and interactive vehicle parts - the skybox is the limit.
Trailmakers is even more fun if you play it with other people. Build cool vehicles and compete in mini-game modes with your friends or other Trailmakers online. Build a helicopter, send it to your friend, and shoot them out of the sky. Put two seats on a tank, and let your friend control the turret. As we get further in Early Access development Expedition Mode will also be adapted to multiplayer.

Petition for scrapman to build a proper podracer, with no thrust in the cockpit. All control should come from the pods.
Bump up, cause I agree
bump up, because i really wanna see that
Bump up, because I need to see a proper pod racer race.
They are called engines not pods
@@gooseturtle219 Scrapman referred to them as pods throughout the entire video, and given that he put an engine in the cockpit, telling him to put the engines in the engines would be stupid. Don’t be pedantic with a pedant.
My first thoughts after Scrapman put the cockpit in front of the engine. "it's not really a TRUE pod racer if any thrust comes from the cockpit. All of the thrust is supposed to come from the engines that the cockpit is attached to via a rope."
Pod Racer = Sci-Fi Chariot
Think of them that way, and you get the idea pretty well.
same here, like @urch5616 say it's more of a futuristic chariot race, with the front pod being the horses and cockpit being drag along like the chariot.
They also just work better, as the cockpit can’t push the engines around
well, Neva Kee dont have the thrust on the front, the power come from the turbo engines patch together with the cockpit
🤓
people still fail to get the point of podracers ... the thrust and steering has to come solely from the engine pods while the cockpit is a passive thing to be towed like a chariot.
Indeed. Apparently they have to put that in the rules
Did you even watch the video??
@@Tango-arc People obviously did not watch the first 2 minutes of the video. Calling the engines pods is annoying sure, but adding the engine to the actual pod was by design as a backup to allow last place to catch up and not just have a one pod race with no action taking place, that would be boring.
@@akaraven66-- Why does the last-place boost need to be in the cockpit pod? Puting all the thrust in the engine pods is purely a design limitation, it can't affect how the rules work.
@@TlalocTemporal Nothing is really stopping them, they never stipulated exact rules on the boost, but how people are pointing out the boost engine MUST be in the engines is wrong. The engine dragging the pod on all designs is correct in that it is the primary boost for the majority of the race for at least two of them.
Scrapman putting the boost in the pod is fine, especially since it's a single boost, adding a single boost to one of the two pods would throw off balance if he ever got to use it.
2v2 combat. One towing the other with the power coupling. The one being towed can not have any propulsion, and the one towing can not have any weapons. Win by destroying the opposing team or cutting the connection between them. This could work with cars, planes and boats.
Boats would be fun to watch
Cars see, like the hardest
Only change I'd make is that they go until seats break, and if they get separated, weapons cab can't move, and engine cab is melee only.
Also, podracers only have power couplers in between the pods. The connection between the pods and the cockpit is a tube. The only reason I remembered that is because of the scene where Anakin had to pull the tube back onto his cockpit
The fact that Anakin had a magnet to attract the rogue tube in that scene just goes to show he really did know his podracer xD
I think the wobbling when Scrapman was turning was because the air break. When he activated it with the turning, it gave him a little bit of up-force, because the one air brake which was pointing up had more drag then the one pointing down, so it pulled the pods into the air.
Yeah, I had a similar problem trying to build Anakin's pod racer in Scrap mechanic with the wing Mod
With the left over power cores, you could have made a double connections between the pods and then have one connection pulsing left and the other connection pulsing right, basically showing a distributing circle.
i had a fun idea, floppy guns.
some kinda fight, tanks or planes or whatever, but all weapons need to be attached with power couplings so they flop around.
Every round the stiffness decreases so the guns get progressively floppier.
Yzuei's podracer was amazing looking! Elegant and clean.
Good morning everyone. Hope you're feeling better Scrapman!!
Its midnight here but good morning!!
good evening :3
Every challenge Yuzi just builds the best looking creation and one ups himself
Telekinesis Jousting!
Battlebots, but the only weapon is a static object, connected to the cab by power couplings.
The seat has to be exposed and destructible.
The aim? Joust with your levitating weapons, or just flail them around, trying to knock each other's seats off.
Suggestions: Prof's pods engines being on top are definitely the problem - you can see them pushing the pod nose down when engaged.
Use hover pads with multiple distances/strengths to damp the bouncing; this is similar to the way robotic arms are damped using both hydraulics and pneumatics.
Or move the thrusters to the side, or maybe don't use the top ones at all because 2 engines is already enough for his lightweight chassis
Your creation isn't a pod racer. All power and turning should be reserved for only the coupled engines. You shouldn't be allowed to have any thrust or vectoring on the main pod.
Also, FYI, the "pod" is the seat and controls. The turbine engines are not pods.
Him calling the engines pods have been bothering me.
Now THIS is pod-racing!
No it isn't. The only mechanisms in a podracer are in the engine pods.
@@nickhammond9887 You are definitely bullied irl
@@nickhammond9887 you don't get it, do you...
20:24 "Are you using your boosters Kan?" Umm that's ProfNcognito 🤔
He said "Cog"
Hey scrapman, keep doing what your doing love your playstyle with both scrap mechanic and trailmakers, been watching you for a lot of insight into the technical side of things and i love the way you explain and play around with new ideas keep it up homie
I can only imagine the futuristic builds that are going to be made like bullets being fed into a machine gun or power wires hanging down from walker/mechs can't wait for the update and cool build btw maybe one of my favorites yet keep up the good work scrap hope your feeling better from the sickness you had
I have an idea. There are 3 round, first is cars, second is boats, third is palnes. You have to build your creation in the shortest time possible, the firts to finish calls for the end of the construction time. All the participants have to run with their veicle as it is in that moment.
An idea for the power couplers could be. Attach one power coupler to the side of your opponent's vehicle, keep it on the lowest strength setting, and see how it handles. I know it may be a bit weird and you'll need 4 people, but it could be quite fun.
angled blocks, i believe, do provide down forces depending on the orientation so it may have been that
Now THIS is podracing!!!
😂 I'm waiting for pod racer evolution race. 😊
I double that!
Honestly, one fix that probably would have helped for Prof's pod racer, would be to just flip the wedges on the front up-side down. Since Scrapman has proven that block shaping dose cause directional resistance. So the fact that he had high back thrust, and down force on the nose was causing his pods to roll forwards.
I love how they move so smoothly
Can't wait to see what else people will come up with using those
Wavy arm boxing!
10-15 power cores for the body/wheels and unlimited for the arms. (Shoulders are included in the limit.) Fists will be made of blocks and are the main source of damage dealing.
This will be 1V1 style battles, so you may need a 4th
I can’t wait until this update, it’s gonna be the best.
When does it come out
@@UnicornBoi-gm9ge It’s unknown rn, but my best guess is around April-June. It took them a few months for the space update after they announced its development.
Podracing is essentially Star War's take on chariot racing. It kind of doesn't make sense to have a self-propelled chariot to push the horses faster than they can feasibly go. However, this is Trailmakers and the rules were fairly lax on what constituted a podracer. I'm more wondering when gyro stabilize beyblade battles are going to be a thing.
Now you've got to go for a co-op build. Each building a pod. Random chance as to who gets which place in the pod racer. No gyro steering.
Looks like we can have light saber duels now!
I'm glad this guy is still making great content, tbh he's the only youtuber I'm still watching after years
Your racers all looked awesome! Feels like this should've been a melee battle.
Team pod racing with one person making the pod one making the engines, could be really fun
Incognito had too much thrust above the centre of mass of the individual pods, so when he used the thrust they immediately pointed to the ground.
Make a pod-plane dogfight where the thrust is only in the two engins at the front (another cool restriction would be propellers only to it as well)
when you have the power cupplers on the engine pods, you need to have a hinge connected to the cuppler and pod and have it on no strength so the pods dont angle so far and its more flexible
Suggestion: A Star Wars Episode I style pod race with no weapons and where all of the thrust has to come from the pods.
For a bit of problems in this race, I'm reminded of go-kart racing IRL - you're strapped in too tightly to look behind. Just look forward, don't get distracted by other racers behind you.
video idea:- do like a boat battle but each vehicle has to have a trailer attached to it with no controls and the only weapon goes on that trailer. make sure the traielr is attached with power coupler. u can also do it with trains. trailer should be on a hover pad if battle is on ground and if trailer is on boat use pontoons
tag team racing, where its similar to the pods. a teammate controls and drives only 1 pod each but they're connected in the middle like normal (maybe have the 3rd big one without controls for stability) because it'll be hilarious to see y'all trying to take turns and drive fast when you only control one side of the thrusters
Let's go! Couldn't wait to see this!
You could make the pods more stable by making two more invisible connections between them.
Scrapmans' pods flopping about uncontrollably is them giving way to the push of the cab they are supposed to pull in order to to pull themselves straight.
Everybody knows you can not push rope, only pull.
Bro pulled a Le Mans at 19:55
Yzuei's pod racer looks like something the covenant would make
weapons pulled by an external source like a sled battle using the new tethers, can be on water or land, team battle
okay
first concept : podracer with only front engine and put the cabine on detachable blocks then use the emp gun
second concept : podracer evolution
third concept : podracer stunt chellenge
Make a challenge, destruction derby, race, evolution, whatever it may be but with wheels attached to power couplars. I bet it'll be really fun.
A 2v2 race where each team's vehicles are connected with some power couplings so you have to work with your teammate to take turns and stuff.
Could you do a plane type pod racer??with the power couplers attached to boost or propellers and then wings apart of the cockpit
I wanna see a bendy plane
Now THIS, is Podracing!
Really hope this update doesnt take too much longer, im excited to try this stuff!
Space noodles, spacecraft made up of multiple segments joined together by the power couplings.
Yzui's pod looks like the bad guy space ships in Voltron. 😅😅😅
Pod racer with wheels on pods sounds interesting. Only having hover pads on the seat. No thrusters.
You guys should do it again, but this time, everyone uses the same basic cockpit, and all you have to do is make the turbines for thrust. Because the cockpit doesn't provide any thrust. Although I feel like airbrakes for turning and slowing down on the cockpit are fine if it's not too outgoing.
Challenge Suggestion Day 4
Broadside Dogfight:
Build dogfighting planes, but your guns can only be facing sideways. Bonus Challenge is using gunpowder cannons
My thought is: is it really pod racing if it flies/works well without the pods?.. I thought the point of pod racers was that the thrust was in the pods and the seat just hovers behind it.
Indeed! Now Scrapman just build a fancy hovercraft
5:50 some of the pods on the racers were enormous in the movie to be fair.
Scapman showing his architect and engineer combination degree
so podracers actually had cables attaching the pod to the engine and the weird plasma (?) cable to connect the engines, either way love the designs
Now THIS is pod racing!
I know you've done it a few times already but I honestly love building and seeing people build beyblades in these games. You should build some more beyblades at some point now that we have the space stuff.
Suggestion with options:
Option 1 : team pod racers where 1 person builds the pod and the other builds the cockpit, or competitive where each person builds a separate pod and cockpit and then randomly selects the individual parts
Yzuei is such an amazing builder...
*inhales* NOW THIS IS POD RACING
Suggestion: Proper Pod Racers, no weapons, evolution style racing only with first across the line being the blueprint for all to increase parts/engine power incrementally between rounds.
Proper racing of skill and know how.
now THIS is (almost) podracing!
racing around the map with trains with the power coupling as connections with wheels or hover pads maybe guns to (at least 2 or 3 wagons)
it would be cool to see a battle using 2 planes power coupled together
Hete is a recommendation that could be fun, multi person vehicle races akin to a 3 leged race if that can be done. So one person has the thrust, one can turn (if 2 player) or one can turn left and one can turn right. Everyone builds everything and you test to see the best combination
Now THIS is pod racing
Beyblade battles are gonna go wild with these bad boys fr
Challenge: Hot Air Balloons. Using the power couplings to connect the basket to the balloon, have either a race or a dogfight. Vertical movement must be in the balloon, everything else in the basket.
trebuchet build competitions? the power couplers kinda work like rope from what iv noticed...
what about vehicles without rigid surfaces? so the only things youre allowed to make are using hinges and the connectors? may as well crank up the jank while youre at something like that...
I had a hilarious idea, do a wingless plane dogfight!
you should do power coupling planes!
floppy wings! that'd add a lot of difficulty, lol
I have an idea where maybe you guys do a helicopter battle but the the weapons can only be attached on the bottom with the power couplings like a weaponised cargo turret, that would be fun!
An upside-down pod racer has interesting physics... and ScrapMan's pod racer seems more prone to capsizing than most.
POD RACING EVOLUTION!!!!
i think is a very good idea and will bring for a bit the legendary evolution videos
you will hit 1m soon so maybe try do a vehicle which is everything car,plane,heli,boat,etc. (or maybe do it now)
Now THIS is podracing!
Hey scrapman i checked out the game after your video but i dont see the part to build a podracer is it mot available for xbox currently?
More Podracing!! Proper Podracing this time too
That’s the first thing I thought when I saw those blocks
Backwards racing. Camera is locked to the seat facing direction. If your last, your camera gets to face forward via a swivel. Guns swivel with the camera. Meaning, you majority of the time shoot behind you. . . which also is the front of your car.
Basically, I just want a type of race where the people ahead have to spin on a dime (probably hover+gyro) to do a 180 to face the opponents as they drive backwards and shoot at the people beind them
Video idea:
You guys can make 1 pod each and mix match each others pods for races. You can add twists into the pods like for example it has tnt inside it or breaks at random intervals, it and make it more interesting. Similar to what you guys do in the sabotage series in scrapmechanic
I wanna see a podracer evolution now xD
Suggestion: mechanic race - everyone starts with a basic, slow vehicle but you can stop in the middle of the race and upgrade the vehicle, but you cant repair and if you crash you can only spawn the starting vehicle so you have to be careful
Now this is pod racing
Aren't the connections from the pod to the turbines just wires in the movie?
Huh, I never noticed that.
Damn, Scrapmans got one amazing mic to not catch that cough
you should try this again but use gimbal jets and distance sensors, it lets you have more of a cushion under the pods.
Please make a plane using those power couplers to connect the wings
ScrapMan and Yuzei are basically Optimus and Megatron in terms of color theme
Video idea:
Instead of a race with battle elements, it's a battle with race elements.
In the same area as this race, ideally, it's done with 3 players, with one starting on each bridge?
You can repair while you're on a bridge, but must move to a different bridge each time.
If, at any point, a vehicle loses either its drive/thrust, its steering, or its weapons, it is out.
New challenge idea: power vehicles. Everyone must build a vehicle to fight the others with. The twist? You must use ONLY pieces that use powercores. No normal blocks besides the cockpit and logic (wheels if you guys make a land vehicle)
Try putting the power couplers at the front on sideways suspension so you don't get that stiff ark forcing the engines sideways.
At 4:20 the pod of the racer looks like one of the F-Zero cars
