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.

Despite it's issues, the little bit of imperfect wobble helps to sell the effect. If everything was perfectly, rigidly locked together, it would look less like independent ships.
Absolutely
in real life formation flying would be pretty much rigid
@@9tr0nno it looks that way from the ground but there are still some very noticable differences when you are in the air
Triangles... Once again, wedge gang shows its prowess.
Wedge gang for life!
is it me or has scrapman being mentioning wedge gang less and less lately?
Yeah, triangles are a very strong and stable shape in nature and physics...

Now you have to do this in space.

And they must be starwars ships, surprised neither of them tried making a tie fighter squadron

Wow
@@Liam-yf7slthank you for the insight
What about a cargo plane with a squadron of fighters escorting it (linked to the cargo plane by power couplings.)
Scrapman: "wooaaah triangles work!!"
Every RCE viewer: *facepalm* "FINALLY!"
You don’t need to call me out
Only architect deals in abstract shapes :D triangles for the win :D
Why am I in this group.
Just remember... the 'strongest shape' is still the best!
🤣🤣
6:40 I think it's because you have the front of the planes attached to the tail of the first one, and when they try to pitch up it is also pushing the tail of the first one up
17:32 "It's like a reversed pod racer."
Well actually it's flying 🤓☝️
Shut up @@JustAWildMTTC
Well actually I'm a heterosexual 🤫🧏♂️🗿
AYO WHAT@@Gidagedigidaniga
so now it's flying, @@JustAWildMTTC
Evolution battle with this concept would be fire
i can't believe i've been with you since 100k subscribers, and now you're at almost a million. Keep up the great work scrap, you're still entertaining after all this time.
Ha rookie. Been arround sense 5,000
@@Zane12ai and yet in another reply you said to not show off to strangers, hm?
@@Zane12aiyou’re showing off…..you just said not to show of bozo
@@A_Steam_Userstalking lol
I still want to see a 2v2 race where each member of the team is controlling a different vehicle but they're tied together with the power couplings. I believe the term is called a chain race, or something like that.
Oh and everyone has to build their own vehicle for the challenge without really communicating with their partner, so there's a chance that the vehicles perform wildly different.
Kinda like NASCAR where they push each other?
Similar to the newer videos
The villager edits are so funny.
First video idea of the day, weaponizing the power coupling.
He kind of did in one of the test videos. He made a whip and smacked stuff with it
I made a whip with it in my supersonic hover train

There's a difference between a test and a dedicated weapon
@@Tanari-alsotanari
I made a neutron bomb with them, but you did care right? It's important to keep in mind, in general people don't know who you are unless they are your friends, and thus have no reason to care about your accomplishments. Don't waste your energy trying to show off to strangers, it good to be proud of your creations but you should know where to draw the line.
Anyways, cool.
@@Zane12ai huh?
Wonder if a formation tank/sub battle would be a good idea
sounds like a tank fleet is in order XD
Command and conquer or smthn
I have an idea, Get 3 people in Trailmakers, 1 person with a light tank, (9 movement power cores 100 blocks and 3 firepower power cores.) 1 person with a medium tank, (8 movement power cores 150 blocks and 4 firepower cores.) and 1 person in a heavy tank, (6 movement cores 200 blocks and 6 firepower power cores.) it would be interesting to see if one is by far more or less powerful... Maybe a good multiplayer Monday?
bruh the villager noises.
lol i didn't notice that the first time i watched this video
So you watched it twice in 60min when the video was uploaded 1hr ago show me how to time travel
Time stamps, people... share the time stamps! 😕
update: Found it! 6:13 😁
@@im.not_kzkz it's a 30 minute video, it's possible
@@hiimapenguin*31.35min but when I saw this comment the video was 58min old
I usually skip the builds, but had to watch it all this time. Amazing build.
i think your idea of having different controls for each plane was the best decision because they get out of sync once they start getting damaged
Let's go, wedges gang! Diamonds like 2D wedges, right?
I think a great idea for a video would be invisible jousting where you have power couplers set to invisible and have dynamite on your vehicle and you need to blow up the other person but you can’t see what’s happening until someone explodes
Challenge Suggestion (Day 5 i think)
Broadside Challenge:
Build dogfighting planes, however your weapons must be facing sideways. Bonus challenge is using gunpowder canons
Great idea, really liked this one and the formation flying looked really cool!
Petition for the old intro and song
👇
Did he have one??? I must hear it
Scrapman removed it since many people skipped it and it hurt the watch time
Most memorable intro was the barrel race lol
@@soldit_Dumes"Zetasis - Eye Of The Storm"
Atleast he can add the old intro
yes! this sounded like a great idea when i saw it, very happy you did it👍
Helicopters with floating propeller blades using the power couplings would be awesome to see!
i have been mourning for a new dogfight video and this one was AMAZING keep it up!
Wonder how the couplings would affect the space train. Also need an add one vehicle every round challenge with the couplings.
I’ve been waiting for his version
Hey Scrapman here is a fun idea
instead of cuplers use remote control using glitch ox gate and make a delay like .1 or .01 or something and do a battle
the delay is to make sure not to crash into your own squad but not strong enough to remove it completely
That went way smoother than I thought it would.
Good morning scrapman, i already know its going to be a great video like always
POWER COUPLER TANK TRAILS
I just discovered this channel ! Hope you reach 1 mil you deserve it
You need to do this. 2v2 combat. One towing the other with the power coupling (low strenght so it acts more like a rope). 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. You can use cars, planes or boats.
When using mini guns, scrapman's planes resemble A-10s
This was an awesome episode!
Very nice video to watch, unlike other one in series)
I remember seeing this suggestion in comments, congratulations for getting noticed
I’m you’re first comment 🙌
Well done sir's! Very entertaining!
This is exactly what i had in mind!
This was cool!
I'd love to see some sort of melee version of this where you are actually trying to only break the (invisible) couplings - sort of like a red rover game.
that's so creative ! nice vid !
In real life formations are in pairs, all modern fighters operate in pairs and squadrons are rarely used
imagine this but its a team game where one pilot cockpit controls weponds , thrust , and pitch an roll
6:05! good morning scrap man
this aint morning
it evening for me. he record like three days before right?.idk
The pitch “fail” turned it into the bee plane meme 😂
Day 60 of asking scrapman to do a dogfight using snowball launchers as weapons
I hope squadron fights become a trend on servers! Awesome idea thanks Scrapman:)
Love you scrap!
What you should have done is set to the power couplers nose to tail with three planes in a straight line and hinges on toggles for left and right echelon.
You can take off and manoeuvre in a trail formation, switch to left echelon for shooting to the left and right echelon for shooting to the right.
I had an interesting idea for a challenge with the power couplings: build some arresting cables, set them up on the carrier and try landing with a plane that has an arresting hook
Your editor did you dirty XD
I cant ever unsee scrapman as a villager now
YES!!! SCRAPMAN HAS HEARD ME
Kudos to your editor hahaha the villager edit was hysterical 🤣
same issue you had with the rope bridge, you need "ropes" going the other way too, make a grid. you have support left to right, but not forwards to back, no wonder it flexes front to back
The fact the building took up over half the video shows how difficult these can be
try making a hydrofoil where the water fins are separeted from the boat with invisible cables. (sry for my english)
The English is fine
The flex when you pitch up is g force. Pulling -g has a 1g delay and therefore is less immediate acting to flex the wing(planes)
Like a sneak peek at the potential challenges of making Ship Shooter-like 'Floating/Hovering support Gun Drones'...
Seeing how the outside planes are felxing with pitch it would be really cool to use this to create wings for a bird
this, but someone different builds the plane in front. EG: you build lead plane, Yuzei builds two following planes. another team builds another squad, and fight!
also, I'd love to see you try to make a formation with 5 planes, or more. bonus points if the formation is 3D.
To potentially solve the wobbling, you could've tried using logic and detachers to make it to where each plane is independent. Don't know if it would actually work though
i was drinking my coffee and then i glanced at his webcam and that villager caught me off guard so hard that i almost spit out my coffee
The really bad near-crashing wobble at the start is an accurate recreation of if I was one of the pilots
Also i realised that the reason why its hard to get a good shot is because the centre of mass was in between the planes!
It seems that scrapman has forgotten about the existence of flap wings.
Turns out Scrapman's fleet did have redundancy. It was just built into each plane rather than shared between them.
You could have added power couplers connecting the main wings of the 2 back aircraft (10:58). Or a power coupler extending from the central aircraft to the power couplers connecting the back of the 2 rear aircraft. There are a number of solutions to the stability problem I think, you just gotta look for possible connection points. Still, the triangle (10:30) was actually one of the better ones. Triangles are geometrically one of the strongest shapes.
The problem is: when you pitch, the front of the plans goes up, and the back of the plane initially goes down. This way, when you conect the tail of the front plane with the nose of the back planes, you cause wave effect. You need to conect front to front in order to make the wabble better
I would love to see someone make one of these, but instead of it having the other planes attached, they all turn at the same time without changing much altitude.
What you could have done is connect the rear planes by the top of the rudder, so the upper connectors cancel out the bend of the lower connectors
I wonder if the sensors can detect the invisible connectors… if they can, you could use logic to change its control schemes depending on which planes are remaining. I know it’d be hard and complicated to do, but it’d be suuuupper cool to see.
Edit*
I just realized you don’t even need sensors, you just need logic gates that power into each other in each plane that when each plane is destroyed, they change the controls.
Helicopter formation could be interesting
For 13 mins i was screaming make a triangle bless you for makeing a triangle
Are you from Michigan? You sound just like me.
Smooth as silk!😁
The kids and I love your channel and doing your challenges together!
Blessings!
Here's my idea. You have these, but now you and the guys each make a "bomber group" (4 bigger planes in a diamond formation with loads of weapons) player that does the most laps and bomb drops at target area is the winner
I would have tested out having the back planes on a slight delay for their inputs to see if that fixed the wobble, since they are at the back of the formation and are supposed to be following the front.
Now I want to see even bigger formations. Like have a triangle of the rear ones and lead plane, Flying like a three sided pyramid.
The question now is how big a flight of planes can one make and have it still be controllable as a single creation.
Clean sweep for scrapman today
Make a glider but the controls are moved by using pistons, rotating servoes, and couplers to manually move the controls like the wright brothers.
All controls have to be powered by something on or near the cockpit
The wobblyness could make for a awesome bird build.
7:55, now's not the time for practicing singing!
Dampen: To make moist.
Damp: To reduce vibration or oscillation.
Yuzei experiencing vehicular torsion in round 2 after the middle coupling got blown off
Scrapman you should recreate the space train concept that failed before, now with power coupling. To deal with the train twisting, you can put 4 power coupling connections per train car
A tranformer battle could be epic!
Winning the turn fight, reverts to boom and zoom.
I think there wouldn't be any wobbles if you put 'em side by side and in a V shape. Because the turning curve of the front plane is in front of the back planes so when you pitch up they desync and if you looked in the direction of the nose, the back planes would be now on top, but the short cable made them unable to be on top so they wobble.
Linked Flying course? Two/more planes tethered with loose couplings, each with their own controls? Might be rather difficult after figuring out just how chaotic they can be with physics, but maybe?
As the front plane pitches up it forces the nose of the other planes down. Put them inline and it will work fine
I have an idea for a version of this, have the wing man aircraft use a dampener gyro system to help them stabilize better.
Based on Scrap's power coupling net video, it seems like couplings only have collision on their end parts... so I wonder if they can even get hit and take damage on the beam part.
1 you could of used Gyros to stabilize the spares 2 British red arrows 👌
i love how Yuzis plane keeps wiggiling like a jelo😂😂😂
You should do a battle using wrecking balls connected with the power couplers on planes
how has nobody noticed that triangles are gods when it comes to structure. look at any bridge ever built and you can find triangles
You guys should try making dune ornithopters and then fight against eachother with them
Battle spheres like a big old gyro with a seat in the middle that moves around and jumps
Good morning scrap
Dogfight but every minute a part changes
(One wing can turn into an engine, the engine can become a gun...)
Good challenge idea, just one tiny problem... You can't do that in trailmakers.
@@Zane12aiyea.... Unless there is some random obscure mod that does it 🤷
