Foundations are useful for Least Stress bridges, where their extreme cost limits them from being *too* dominant, but still allows them to be quite powerful when used correctly. Honestly, I'm not sure they were balanced for budget bridges at all.
Do they **need** to be balanced for budget bridges? I mean, steel is not balanced either, if you consider what length the guys at the top go to get rid of it... I just like that they made the new category, so people can actually use foundation and steel as well, otherwise both would be almost useless in the game
@@MattJDylanWell when we get to the extreme bridges I wouldn't be surprised if steels make a comeback, since woods have trouble handling the stronger forces
@@aa01blue38 I hope you're right, but I think it's just a matter of time before a glitch is found out we'll see a new falling roads bonanza on the leaderboard...
For the triple draw bridge you could have done a simple brace over the draw bridge in the middle to connect them together. Then you would not have needed to brace them on the pillars.
Also, by putting all flaps pointing in the same direction, he could have controlled the direction in which they lean. And the braces on the foundations could have gone to the *top* of the foundations. And, even more sacrilegious: I wonder if the pivoting of the triangular sections on top of the pillars could have been used for the articulation. I.e. tilting those two parts - which could have been done with a single hydraulic.
Excellent editing as always by Ben. A small suggestion though: keep a small display of the half budget goal up next to the current budget, for those of us who don't feel like doing mental math at 3:00 a.m. while watching these videos.
i really wish the game had a mode where they count the cool stuff the cars do and give us a leaderboard for style points for each level, like the rank would be depended on how much cool flips your car does, how much air time your car has and how much stuff it directly breaks through to reach the goal
I somehow didn't realize before that you could pseudo-customize your name with different colors. I thought what you did with BaconPancakes was just your editor highlighting a rivalry.
i think the point of foundation is that it exists for more casual players. maybe you don't like making it super cheap? foundation will help you make a lovely bridge then
Would love to see you play more Shogun Showdown, it's similar to peglin with how you can collect tiles, and items to create synergy. Maybe do another video on it when an update comes out?
Hey Tyler I saw someone play a game called farm keeper, it’s got a similar feel as luck be a landlord and thought it might have a small place on your channel.
Great video! Love all your content but I'm hoping you check out the new peglin update soon. Currently it's in experimental but it have something I think you'll love but I won't give any spoilers in case you don't already know
Each time you move, your weapon will reload your gun from your reserve. If you gun is fully loaded, then it will generate 1 ammo to your reserve, unless that is also full. If your gun has no loaded ammo, you will need to either manually reload by clicking the gun icon or pressing the spacebar; or you will need to move your king to a new space. If you are about to take an action that will result in you losing, the game will make this sound. And one of your shields will be consumed. Move your king to a new space to regenerate your shields. When you run out of shields you will no longer be warned about losing. If your king dies, you lose the game. Hover over an enemy to see its health, movement, and time. Time is the number of turns you will take before that piece moves. The turn right before a piece moves, that piece will start shaking, to indicate it will move after your next action. Multiple enemy pieces can move each turn. A pieces remaining time is ignored if you move to, or remain in, a threatened square, resulting in it immediately capturing you. When a piece’s health reaches 0, the piece is destroyed. If that piece isn’t a pawn or king, then you will capture its soul if you don’t already have one. You can left click a soul card then an indicated space on the board to move your king as the captured piece 1 time, consuming the card. Right click while using a soul card to cancel using it and save it for later. There is no limit to the number of soul cards you can capture and use in a game. After you eliminate the enemy king, you get to pick between 2 upgrades paths. Each upgrade has 2 cards, 1 black and 1 white. Each black card benefits you while each white card benefits the enemy. However, some white cards can benefit you too. Each card says what it does and will permanently benefit you for the remainder of the game. Hover over a card to read what it does.
10:30 "sometimes you don't ask why things are there you just accept it" Giving me Vladimus Von Hack'n'slash vibes "Do you ask why the sun is bright? No. You accept it as fect. Do you ask why the sky is blue? No! You accept it as fect! DO YOU ASK WHY BREAD IS SLICED? NO! YOU ACCEPT IT AS FECT! And I have come for your testicles"
GOT AN IDEA : Get the stress levels as low as possible without going over budget. You can also choose to not use steel or foundation or other material.
I wonder how long it took Bacon to figure out the precise starting point for the scoop section to be in the right spot to direct the car to the second star tge first time and be out of the way on its second jump.
Tyler not knowing about simple statics and then being confused about why some things break frustrates me as he's so good at puzzle games. Please look up method of joints, your bridge game videos will improve immensely
That last level brought out everyone’s creativity, like damn, that dangling road one was crazy
And using the foundation as a road
12:56 "It's not about the money... It's about sending a message."
It's about the Mets, baby, love the Mets, get a home run, all about the Mets, let's go Mets baby
Tyler on time to ruin thousands of sleep schedules
Thousands
I’ve legitimately screwed myself over so many times because of his schedule, but I’m not complaining
its like a reward
Released at 2pm in Australia, perfect time to entertain me while I poop
@@bonnzy1poop gang!
TERRIBLE IDEA: Lorax Challenge
basically getting the lowest budget as possible while using as little wood as possible
meanwhile there's the opposite which is the onceler challenge, use only wood and go over budget
thats genius
@@squasherdownAlso minimum road to use even more wood in supports
why oh god why would you call it that
I'm fully in support of this
I would _love_ a compilation of moments where he says 'Nice, nice!' and the bridge snaps a milisecond later
I love this series because you can watch it in any order and it is just as entertaining, thanks for sharing your bridge building genius Tyler
That solution with the spinning bridge was outrageous holy hell
Foundations are useful for Least Stress bridges, where their extreme cost limits them from being *too* dominant, but still allows them to be quite powerful when used correctly.

8:00 "Well, I know a thing or two about cheap wood"
-Tyler, 2023
He also said "I like a clean wood" around 15:50 but I think that was intentional.
4:00 that brace on the foundation is the smartest thing I’ve seen in Poly Bridge 3 so far. Absolutely genius
leans in to monitor "smells like steel in here"
For the triple draw bridge you could have done a simple brace over the draw bridge in the middle to connect them together. Then you would not have needed to brace them on the pillars.

I think you would enjoy the gallery on this level 😄
That last bridge may not have steel, but at that price, it *was* a steal!
5:35 that break was extremely satisfying
That connection is steel. I couldn't get away from it. I'll take another stab at it though!
Took another stab at it >.>
Here’s a third stab 🔪
I'm late, but did you get it without steel?
@@thatonepokemonwhateveritwa8371 I did! Also got into the top 10 at the time. But I've been squeezed back out.
Idk if it is brought up much, but your videos are edited really well. Keeps the flow of the video without leaving anything out.
Foundation actually makes sense for the min stress leaderboards that only need to get underbudget and not cheap
Request for devs to include a 'no steel' option on the leaderboard
This is a game that is so fun to watch and im loving every minute of it
I love how in aliensrock's mind it makes more sense to build things out of random pieces of road than steel beams lol
Excellent editing as always by Ben. A small suggestion though: keep a small display of the half budget goal up next to the current budget, for those of us who don't feel like doing mental math at 3:00 a.m. while watching these videos.
Why are poly bridge videos so addicting, I litterally finished every poly bridge video from RCE and Aliensrock
i really wish the game had a mode where they count the cool stuff the cars do and give us a leaderboard for style points for each level, like the rank would be depended on how much cool flips your car does, how much air time your car has and how much stuff it directly breaks through to reach the goal
tyler brain is so smart i never wouldve thought to move the roads up on the first one
Funny thing is I gained a >4k lead on SC-06 on 2 occasions with 2 different designs. Unfortunately sharing on gallery has some effect on people
12:56 It's not always about the money, Spider-Man. It's about thE METS BABY LOVE THE METS HIT A HOME R
I always look forward to your videos, you actually are the reason i found myself interested in Oxygen Not Included! Keep it up
He goes from making all bridges half budget to all bridges without steel, nice
Half budget without steel
Half budget without steel and foundations
This design will be perfect when the release challenge modes on all of the worlds and no steel is one of the changes for that last level
This series made me download poly bridge 1 and 2 and soon 3 when I get paid, I’m trying to get top 5% on 2
We’re this far in and still no springs.
imagine ur casually going for a drive and the bridge u come across just goes straight up. i would actually shit myself
I somehow didn't realize before that you could pseudo-customize your name with different colors. I thought what you did with BaconPancakes was just your editor highlighting a rivalry.
lmao i just thought making my name like a clickbait thumbnail would be pretty funny
i think the point of foundation is that it exists for more casual players. maybe you don't like making it super cheap? foundation will help you make a lovely bridge then
Ben did such a good job this video Tyler's videos dont usually make me laugh that much
Gmt +8 is perfect lunch enjoyment
Would love to see you play more Shogun Showdown, it's similar to peglin with how you can collect tiles, and items to create synergy. Maybe do another video on it when an update comes out?
May the “bridge” building continue.
Hey Tyler I saw someone play a game called farm keeper, it’s got a similar feel as luck be a landlord and thought it might have a small place on your channel.
“It’s ass that works” *immediately breaks*. Great humour love it
this man plays so much puzzle games but his brain and creativity are growing massively that you can’t really say “touch grass”
As a guy who works til midnight aliensrock is the man
5:39 was so satisfying.
Yes Tyler, that is in fact a steel
Wow, I had no idea you could brace on the sides of foundations.
Great video! Love all your content but I'm hoping you check out the new peglin update soon. Currently it's in experimental but it have something I think you'll love but I won't give any spoilers in case you don't already know
I feel like we get more budget micro, less game exploration now..
Hype, love this series Tyler

Those asymmetrical braces on the second bridge make me so nervous
Next thumbnail should be 2/4s budget and then 4/8ths. Perfection
I'm here for the shaving. More shaving, more fun! Maybe that's where you can look for your next sponsor, lol!
Manscaped?
The UK last year: @10:14
I cheer every time a steel support turns into a wood muscle
10:30 "sometimes you don't ask why things are there you just accept it"

"Do you ask why the sun is bright? No. You accept it as fect.
Do you ask why the sky is blue? No! You accept it as fect!
DO YOU ASK WHY BREAD IS SLICED? NO! YOU ACCEPT IT AS FECT!
And I have come for your testicles"
Probably the worst gift someone could give to tyler is steel
More bridging of the polygonal variety
GOT AN IDEA :
Get the stress levels as low as possible without going over budget.
You can also choose to not use steel or foundation or other material.
" It's Stressed, but it does work" is a perfect way to describe me in school lamo
7AM here perfect morning watch
just a little seven thousand more had me rolling on the floor
That was totally a steel.
Hey @aliensrock , Vampire Survivors got a new update! Think you might like to know that it happened. Hope you have a good day!
Peglin got a new update with a new character and it's got a reference to you
"yaaaaaay" hey cool new catchphrase!
Tyler is my comfort content creator
The editor keeps getting crazier and crazier with the jokes
Anyone else want Tyler to try to min. stress some levels?
Me: WHY DID YOU POST THIS LATE?
Also me: THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS LATE!
But, if you make your bridge the cheapest without steel, it BECOMES a steal.
I wonder how long it took Bacon to figure out the precise starting point for the scoop section to be in the right spot to direct the car to the second star tge first time and be out of the way on its second jump.
I just watched someone play that first level of the video! They had to finish the stream to sleep and I already miss them
What happens if you put a foundation in the way of a boat or plane
watching polybridge 3 in bed at night has become a daily routine
10:11 why does he kinda sound like my physics teacher here
My mother thinks im sleeping, but the Tyler Ritual must continue
Bacon's designs are so disgusting in a good way
Tyler not knowing about simple statics and then being confused about why some things break frustrates me as he's so good at puzzle games. Please look up method of joints, your bridge game videos will improve immensely
Why is noone talking about the quote "i know a thing or two about cheap wood" lol
Edit:
"I like a clean wood"
great video!
After half budget, go for half stress. 50% stress or less!
(Probs not possible 😅)
on the day after launch I achieved 2nd in the world on level SC-06
edit: SC-06 is the title and thumbnail
best polybridge content creator sorry Matt!
I hope an architect built the next bridge you walk/drive on >:)
No sleep. Only Tyler
Nice haircut bro
I presume we’re running low on iron for some reason.
I love peg bridge
Sleep is for the weak!!!
Tyler the steelist
What sleep schedule, true games have no such thing
Low key though make a poll for times to post and see it if stays the same. (Set a
Minimum amount of votes for a change or something )
"Heathen steel" lmao
POV RCE able to shave 10 grand at a level that you did 1%
Love me some bridges
Are you planning on doing a battle royal in PB3?
safe bridges using stable materials? disgusting.
Day 1003 of telling Tyler that he never finished his minecraft series and that he should finish it.
Day 963 of agreeing
4 digits still looks weird
Geez, you really want him to finish it huh, 1003 days
2:25 Sixty-six and a half thousand.*
facts
Nice
Can you make a opposite of the series like over budget?
