@hvm2hvmeven though its a game and thats usually the goal is to make it cheap i still think he should do this as it would be entertaining to see how he manages to pull it off
I'm just glad they've started using different songs. He used the same fkin song for every video for years 😂 in fact I know of a couple different RUclipsrs who use the same song. If you've heard it YOU KNOW THE SONG IM TALKING ABOUT
That triangle at 8:00 is a cam that wedges itself into the wall as load is applied to the bridge. It's freaking genius and beautiful to watch. It's basically acting like the rocker in pushrod suspension. Edit: Also note they left a quad instead of solid triangles below the outside road pieces, so it can deform while the cam is rotating but still hold the road up. It's such a gorgeous solution.
i knew the rotation was driving the wedge into the wall. i thought that was obvious, surprised matt didn't understand that. i didn't know it was a mechanical engineer thing.
Zombey is a german youtuber that also started playing polybridge but more casually than you do. His "trademark" is his purple top hat (and sometimes suit)
A bridge "engineer" in Canada had his bridge collapse an hour after it opened. This is the 5th time its bridges have been investigated. you should make his bridges in this game.
If you wonder what that "Zombey" Text in one of the Level was. Its a german RUclipsr called Zombey. And the "Box" under it is supposed to be a cylinder hat: his distinguishing feature
Ayyyyy, finally made the gallery review! (I'm "Pimp Daddy Long Legs" at 9:14). And RCE shouted out my real life poly bridge project video a while back. I'm starting to think buying a shirt was great karma for me. Cheers!
snorkel paddy is very impressive indeed. RCE breaking for Allan's Dong overload is funny - Matt promissed we will see it in pretty much every video and eventualy turned it into his signature. Basicaly i support people playing with their strongest shapes and or concenting partner's for great fun.
For the wall braces at 7:34, I assume the wood triangles are on the braces so that the bridge can flex more easily. The bridge is designed to bend and flex, so without those triangles and having a more stiff brace like yours, the compressive force between the solid wall and the bridge would be dealt by the wood itself. By having those wood triangles there, they create extra nodes so that the brace can fold a bit more without snapping and handle the bridge's bending.
Day nine of asking Matt to add the Second Narrows Bridge, Ironworkers Memorial to the Wheel of Bridgetune It is a cantilevered truss bridge, carrying 6 lanes of traffic from Vancouver to North Vancouver in B.C. across the second narrowing of the Burrard Inlet. It's name comes from the fact that it collapsed twice during construction, which unalived 23 people in total (Hence the name, ironworkers memorial).
I've always wondered how many "fellow engineers" are actually around here. Like this comment if you're technically speaking an engineer. I'm just an audio engineer, but I'm gonna say that still counts. lol
I'm not surprised that that cover was funny. I've come to expect that. What does surprise me is how freaking good it was. I want to make that my ringtone
That 1st bridge triangle thingy that you didnt understand is basically a "Rocker Arm" and automobile engineers use it as a suspension connecting Wheels A-arms to the piston, its not used in commerical cars but in Formula Style Race cars. Now thats a bridge that only a Mechanical Engineer can make! An Engineer nevertheless😤
the wall braces on the one are designed to switch to use tension when the truck is over it and pressing down on that side and when the truck is on the far side give compression so the other side can be tension. it's just a brilliant little mechanism.
When RCE said "truss our bridge up" ( 2:14 ) that Prodigy song popped into my head: smack my b*tch up. Was kinda hoping for it :D engineering in the moonlight is still a banger though
Play ark pls, it is a Dino game where you can tame Dino’s and construct buildings. On the map Ragnarok there is even a enormous old bridge over a canyon
Your poly bridge vids are my favorite. But if you want another engineering game to play try WORLD OF GOO on mobile. Truss me, it’s an architect’s nightmare.
Matt, the wall braces on the cheapest one works like the rear suspension of various racing cars. The further down the bridge pushes, the harder the triangle presses into the wall because of the rotation. Whoever built that one was a real-ass engineer, or they got really lucky. I would pretty much have to go looking for what else they built to know the difference , and I haven't, so I don't know. (Four link suspension is one of the things I'm talking about)
i would love a video where RCE just grades people bridges. Like give the community a challenge bridge then a review all those bridges on like realism, uniqueness, practicality and such.
Watching Matt do hydraulic lvls I wonder how am not an engineer but he is... am just a poor construction worker who has to fix architects and engineers mistakes... those poor artistic souls have no idea how the real world works... from imaginary low gravity to unreasonable timelines or impossible designs it's like making a spoiled child happy....still love his videos
As a fellow engineer I think for you it might have been easier to get in the top 1% by creating a bridge that is top 25% and then just creating enough accounts to lower the world average.
Ship graveyard simulator 2 was released yesterday, and will have coop mode later this year, maybe you can take Tyler and see who's the best once and for all, lol
I think the thing with the first bridge in the gallery you viewed with the weird wall braces was giving the pieces the ability to flex without crushing the wood. Notice how the triangular wall braces kinda pivot back and forth? I’m guessing that’s how they got away with it. Your wall braces were not able to compress, so they would break if they got squashed too hard. His braces pivot along the corner of the triangle (and the anchor up top also looks like it rotated to provide extra length so the pieces up there didn’t break from over extension) so the entire bridge can sag and move without breaking any of the supports it looks like.
22:11 the doubled roads mean the support of those roads doesn't change so drastically, meaning they can save a lot of money on supports to offset what they spent on more roads
"Jesus ♥'s RCE" Obviously that was the Mexican (and maybe Spanish? I'm only familiar with the Mexican version though if that's the case) name Jesus which is pronounced "hey Zeus." Clearly you've got a significant Latin following.
Just a little Funfact: The other Propaganda you saw at the "highest Budget" option (The "Zombey" and the huge top hat) Is a german RUclipsr called Zombey who is currently doing Polybridge as well and his community does Propaganda as well :3 (I find it very cool that in his videos I see your Propaganda in the gallery and in your video I see his propaganda)
If being a "real engineer" means having top 1% lowest cost while having 99% of max stress im the structure, then a non-engineer like me is a "real engineer".
You should try to get top % in least stress, it's a totally different challenge as you have to make sure every single piece is properly supported.
Ye, IMO that's what a good engineer wants. It seems silly to want the cheapest possible design instead of the best strength under budget.
@hvm2hvmeven though its a game and thats usually the goal is to make it cheap i still think he should do this as it would be entertaining to see how he manages to pull it off
without busting the budget, yeah that'd be awesome and actual engineering.
I’m just adding another comment so RCE knows the people want to see this lol
Yes we do!
I really don't give the editor enough credit for how much the background music guides us through Matt's journey. 🥰
@anomynus4131lol
@anomynus4131as a person also named Matt I disagree with this statement’s
Lmao the editors by far don’t get enough credit. I’ve fallen for Matt but there is no way in hell it would happen without those dudes killing it
I'm just glad they've started using different songs. He used the same fkin song for every video for years 😂 in fact I know of a couple different RUclipsrs who use the same song. If you've heard it YOU KNOW THE SONG IM TALKING ABOUT
There’s background music? Lol I didn’t even notice until I saw this
That triangle at 8:00 is a cam that wedges itself into the wall as load is applied to the bridge. It's freaking genius and beautiful to watch. It's basically acting like the rocker in pushrod suspension.
Edit: Also note they left a quad instead of solid triangles below the outside road pieces, so it can deform while the cam is rotating but still hold the road up. It's such a gorgeous solution.
Correct. I think a mechanical engineer made that bridge😆
@vinitfirke2201 Yeah probably. They definitely knew what they were doing, that's for sure.
polybridge players sometimes invent stuff on their own, this might be a result of trying to get rid of a piece. But most likely that man is just smart
i knew the rotation was driving the wedge into the wall. i thought that was obvious, surprised matt didn't understand that. i didn't know it was a mechanical engineer thing.
@takumi2023 maybe you should look into being a mechanical engineer. Might be a career path with an easy to comprehend education for ya haha
Zombey is a german youtuber that also started playing polybridge but more casually than you do.
His "trademark" is his purple top hat (and sometimes suit)
Try the least stress challenge, also it's often the 5-10% which is proper engineering and 5-1% are often cheese or riggity stuff
As for the Cylinders and the "Zombey" in the Gallery, that is a very cool German RUclipsr who also plays Polybridge.
Yep, though the translation for Zylinder is top hat
A bridge "engineer" in Canada had his bridge collapse an hour after it opened. This is the 5th time its bridges have been investigated. you should make his bridges in this game.
What engineer/bridge?? I’m Canadian and somehow have zero clue who you’re talking about lmao
@CeledonianError well, Canada's huge, so that might explain it
@CeledonianErrorScott Gullacher, in September 14th, 2018 according to Google. No injuries
If you wonder what that "Zombey" Text in one of the Level was. Its a german RUclipsr called Zombey. And the "Box" under it is supposed to be a cylinder hat: his distinguishing feature
Aliensrock literally just made a leaderboard comeback…
RCE really can’t let that slide, can he?
Aliensrock is better than him. RCE can do actual engineering but Aliensrock has him beat at cheese.
maybe but so far it's looking like RCE's cracked out more cheese in this showdown@farshnuke
@farshnuke 3:39 has me doubting the "real engineering" LOL
@zphayde I was being kind. My point is that Aliensrock is far better at Polybridge 3.
@Iago-LinkDay I mean I do believe he is a failed architect and his hatred is jealousy lol
Ayyyyy, finally made the gallery review! (I'm "Pimp Daddy Long Legs" at 9:14). And RCE shouted out my real life poly bridge project video a while back. I'm starting to think buying a shirt was great karma for me. Cheers!

That “Alan” gets me everytime
22:30 Zombey! nice
I hope the editor has health insurance. Can't imagine getting a couch thrown at is good for your health
For the wall braces at 7:34, I assume the wood triangles are on the braces so that the bridge can flex more easily.

Can we appreciate this mans dedication to big braining games for our entertainment?
Every day‘s a good day after some RCE propaganda 😊
We already do though
@thunderbuttocks28ye
No we can't
You showed my bridge @ 9:30. :). Glad I gave you a chuckle. Edit: And at 23:00. Keep doing the lord's work, keeping the architects down.
When rce sees a working bridge: "its literally my bridge, only 50k cheaper, not a big deal"
26:30
Max stress 99.69%
Perfectly engineered

looking forward to the next “taking back dildobike’s scores” it’s gonna be a tough one
5:16 in your face matt 😂
That did not feel like 30 minutes good job
RCE has to be one of the best RUclipsrs rn
I've always wondered how many "fellow engineers" are actually around here.
Like this comment if you're technically speaking an engineer. I'm just an audio engineer, but I'm gonna say that still counts. lol
My studies technically teach me genetic engineering, so maybe...
@a.w.4708 That totally counts. Super interesting stuff!
Even RCE is celebrating beating matt! 😂
Would love to see you tackle lowstress. It's trickier than it seems!!
Found you recently watching CS2 videos and ive been laughing ever since. Cheers!
Please do more satisfactory im begging you 🥺
I'm not surprised that that cover was funny. I've come to expect that. What does surprise me is how freaking good it was. I want to make that my ringtone
its bugging me, do you know what the original song was that he covered??

Day 63 of asking Matt to play Mindustry.
6 days left...
You need to try and retake some of Tyler's highscores, he's building better bridges than you
That 1st bridge triangle thingy that you didnt understand is basically a "Rocker Arm" and automobile engineers use it as a suspension connecting Wheels A-arms to the piston, its not used in commerical cars but in Formula Style Race cars. Now thats a bridge that only a Mechanical Engineer can make! An Engineer nevertheless😤
That was really cool! It's like F1 suspension because it has to be laid out widthwise instead of vertically.
8:51 Jesus loves anyone reading this as well.🙏🏾 Be blessed
Yes
I reaaaaaally enjoy when you try your best to be top 1%!
The flip the the car made near 12 minutes was insane, the wheels made it spin forwards and it had a perfect landing
Ok..we all wonder if he is a virtual civil engineer now!!.
i must admit that your architecture is pretty advanced
the wall braces on the one are designed to switch to use tension when the truck is over it and pressing down on that side and when the truck is on the far side give compression so the other side can be tension. it's just a brilliant little mechanism.
Why does this seem familiar?
Engineer designs something effective and cheap to begin with then spends ages trying to make it "better"...
Distinct lack of beavers...
When RCE said "truss our bridge up" ( 2:14 ) that Prodigy song popped into my head: smack my b*tch up. Was kinda hoping for it :D engineering in the moonlight is still a banger though
Play ark pls, it is a Dino game where you can tame Dino’s and construct buildings. On the map Ragnarok there is even a enormous old bridge over a canyon
WOW, so nice of RCE to give his editor free furniture
Let's be honest being an engineer you should not be making the cheapest bridge possible should you?
Day 66 of asking RCE to play From The Depths.
Since another commenter seemed to be against this: What's your stance on these types of comments?
Pointless
Your poly bridge vids are my favorite. But if you want another engineering game to play try WORLD OF GOO on mobile. Truss me, it’s an architect’s nightmare.
24:23 😂engineering in the moonlight
22:47 love your editor 😂😂😂
The song is called 'Dancing in the Moonlight' for those who don't know.
Why: German RUclipsr Zombey who plays Polybridge more casually has a top hat as his trademark.
Didnt ask
@haw9hw9wa9 Well, except for RCE. He asked at 22:42
can you please play city skyline
He plays that loads
Hello appreciate your work
Plz do the Tilikum crossing bridge from Portland Oregon
Matt, the wall braces on the cheapest one works like the rear suspension of various racing cars. The further down the bridge pushes, the harder the triangle presses into the wall because of the rotation. Whoever built that one was a real-ass engineer, or they got really lucky. I would pretty much have to go looking for what else they built to know the difference , and I haven't, so I don't know.
(Four link suspension is one of the things I'm talking about)
I think it lets the bridge flex but still keep contact with the wall🤔 8:00 *
24:23 Full version of the parody!!???
Why are the montages so good that I'd want them on Spotify
i would love a video where RCE just grades people bridges. Like give the community a challenge bridge then a review all those bridges on like realism, uniqueness, practicality and such.
Nobody talking about how good the song is? 😂
I'm very happy with my own score on CS-02 $46,877 with a completely different design. I didn't lift the ends of the bridge :)
I'm waiting to like the video since it currently has exacrly 777 likes and I don't want to break that, I love the content though!
Yo work very hard to get to these achievements fair play to you
9:07 good to see Aliensrock propaganda
This guy does the best content
TYLER CALLED YOU AN ARCHITECT
Rce is prerecording so he dosn't know that Tyler has done that
Yeah, you’re good at games and everything, but it’s the Multi-Tracking Genius that does it for me
The only engineer gamer POG
With all the shaving in this video, I’m surprised man scape isn’t sponsoring! (Or maybe they are and I’m not far enough in the video)
OH YEAH 23 MINS EARLYY!!! hey continue the hard work !!!!
Day 40 of asking matt to play the perfect tower 2 (i can't think of any variations of this comment anymore)
That first bridge was shameful. You literally made an _arch._ That's Architect-level design! Heck, Arch is part of Architect!
The Arch is considered an Modern Engineering Marvel according to the National Parks Service. So RCE is covered
Arches are the OG engineering principle. Love me some arch doorways frfr
@eclipseeffigy Ever heard of a post and lintel doorway?
@DatGuy_83 Post-and-lintel is an older design.
@kennyholmes5196thats just 3 big solid pieces stacked atop each other, no engineering principles involved there.
Please l really miss your Minecraft videos Please go back to Minecraft 🙏🏻😢
Watching Matt do hydraulic lvls I wonder how am not an engineer but he is... am just a poor construction worker who has to fix architects and engineers mistakes... those poor artistic souls have no idea how the real world works... from imaginary low gravity to unreasonable timelines or impossible designs it's like making a spoiled child happy....still love his videos

Bro got ptsd from Tylers last vid
Love you RCE
Play Hello Engineer, please. By the way, love the videos keep up the good work
Ship graveyard simulator 2 was released yesterday, and will have coop mode later this year, maybe you can take Tyler and see who's the best once and for all, lol
[27:25] so tyler is the good guy?
Very surprised Double Back didn't have any cat flap solutions to the left side. Maybe it would scrape the rally car off of the flat bed early?
Tut Matt, call yourself an eEngineer.... people made successful bridges at half your best budget! I still think you're an Architect in disguise! 😆
every time you make an engineering song I doubt, and every time I am proven wrong
I feel these bridges need more glass, if we can get that going it'd be great. The client is on board, if you could make that happen?
Notifications gang! Hey Matt!
I love this song
Excellent song on this one Matt!
I love how now there is also propaganda for other channels like the german youtuber Zombey as well as just the top hat which kinda is his symbol.
Well around 22:40 or so.
This probably has nothing to do with bridging but pullys would be fun in this game.
the best part of the day is the moment rce uploads
I think the thing with the first bridge in the gallery you viewed with the weird wall braces was giving the pieces the ability to flex without crushing the wood.

I appreciate the time and effort you take for your montage music
there's this german youtuber named zombey and he wearts this kind of hat

6:39 and here we can hear Matt communicating with our ancestors 😂
Just a little Funfact:
