Five Sheep Difficulty Will Destroy Me! - Poly Bridge 3

Poly Bridge 3 Part 34 - the Poly Bridge 3 secret world continues! The first couple levels weren't so bad, but this level shows me the true force of 5 sheep difficulty. Will I still manage to get half budget?

Even if you don't get the tanker jump under half budget, RCE's going to have a *real* hard time trying to beat your score

[@dylandepetro4187]

I doubt he will even attempt it. He will see that one hydraulic level and just rage quit.

[@thedeck-buildingdemon8293]

The architects will win the ultimate victory, praise be to the Grand Architect of the Universe (lol)

[@henrihell]

​@@thedeck-buildingdemon8293I'd think this bridge is be sufficient proof that Tyler is actually an engineer in disguise. Together with RCE they can definitely keep the damned architects in check, if not defeat them completely!

[@masansr]

RCE's gonna have hard time even reaching this far, as he doesn't understand almost anything about the game. His playstyle is purely trial-and-error.

[@Mysterious7352]

After half budget is done. I would like to see some low stress gameplay, not saying he needs to replay everything like that. It’d just be fun to see how he’s able to engineer bridges that will kill you slightly less

[@lifinale]

It’s not a bridge if it doesn’t almost kill ya!

[@montgomerymontgomery]

I think he alluded to doing a lowest stress playthrough of all the levels in a previous vid

[@TheFunfighter]

Tyler, you need to think about leverage. Mentally simplify structures to their interfacing nodes, and think about how these nodes experience stress. For that, look at the position and direction of the force, and apply simple leverage logic to the structure. Example: When the truck hits the valley (3rd section), it pushes down through inertia. Depending on the position of the force vector to the foundation node, the section rotates left or right. Either way, the ramp (2nd section) gets pulled to the bottom/right, away from the top part (1st section). That in turn tries to rotate clockwise. Simplified to a triangle, the top was getting pulled, the left was kinda somewhat pulled but mostly through gravity, and the bottom was getting pushed against the cliff. Early on in that section, roads were snapping because the top side was only linked up by roads that had to take the strain. Also try to think about which paths the forces take, and support these in as straight of a line as possible.

[@QuantumConundrum]

In two words: minimize torque

[@jr_kulik]

Yes it’s frustrating to see people play this without thinking about physics. Even RCE doesn’t do this, it’s really a shame.

[@xaviersavard6343]

... I think ill just like the comment and trust you did the science

[@TheFunfighter]

@@jr_kulik Yeah. You'd think RCE would apply at least basic FEM logic to his structures. Statics are so basic, if you are an engineer of basically any subject where solid objects are present, you had lessons on it.

[@TheFunfighter]

@@QuantumConundrum That too. What I'm mostly trying to get at, that he's not diagnosing his problem logically, but just throws more material at it until the color looks nicer. The whole time, the problem was that he placed roads under tension, which is really easy to fix. I also see him and RCE slap muscles on things, because it's a magic thing that works as a strong support. It's not magic, it's just two supports side by side. The ideal "muscle" is symmetric and has as short of a middle link as possible, to orient the twin supports as parallel to the axis of compression/tension as possible.

Tyler at the beginning of PolyBridge 3: I'll only be doing half budget to start, once it gets difficult I'll stop Tyler now, at five sheep difficulty, with a jump level: I'm not abandoning half budget yet

I love that not only is the editor getting progressively more intricate, but spicier as well. Idk who they are but they are fucking KILLIN it in your videos nowadays- and I really fucking hope that they know that, and that we love them.

[@arcanelizard4646]

It's a team of 3, and the description always says who worked on that video. Today's installment was brought to you by Dan White and Ben Ranger. Ben has been with the channel for several years now, and Dan came on somewhere between 6 and 12 months ago. Now there's also Frazzz, who didn't work on this video but has appeared in Peglin and Paquerette Down the Bunburrows edits (pretty sure I messed up the name... it's bunny game, you'll find it in the channel's recent videos if you don't know what I'm talking about). The editors are highly praised around here, and it has definitely been noticed by Tyler, who mentioned the amount of praise the editing team gets in his recruitment video yesterday (or the day before?) for a 4th editor while one of them works on a temporary side project (I'm guessing Frazzz, since they haven't been on a video in several days). Long story short, they know we love them, but it never hurts to keep reminding them of that

[@icegolemite]

Ya' know. Polybridge often reminds me why irl bridges are built with hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in budget

[@dom7899]

cuz launching tankers from cliffs off ramps is a common occurrence? XD

[@areadenial2343]

I always forget that irl bridges must be designed to withstand the force of a 22-ton tanker truck barreling down an 80 degree grade suspended over a body of water.

[@brayachdragonbane7529]

@@dom7899 no, but supporting a throughput on average of a few hecatons per day is a LOT harder

My physics knowledge is ass but I feel like the lowest point on the ramp would benefit most from a foundation, as that’s where the tanker’s downward force is being the most drastically altered

[@thepumkinmelon]

I love when Tyler looks at others bridges, after making his. You can just see the gears turning in his head with new ideas

I have a theory that a lot of the breaks on the truck jump were caused by weight distribution, because the transition from under to over was usually a pivot point.

[@altejoh]

I am impressed how Tyler seems to have such an intuitive grasp of the underlying engineering principles without any formal training. Maybe this is an alternative career path option :D

[@SloMoMonday]

Slopes and curves on a bridge make for interesting dynamics, but it's so frustrating to build, shave and then realize that is needs a full redesign. It'll be cool if someone modded in a grading material. An unbreakable beam that can't be used to finish the bridge and instead of green/yellow/red, you get a bit more of a detailed view of the forces at play. I know it's easier said than done but it's nice to imagine.

Good fucking luck on the tanker bridge level! it's the only level I haven't done under half budget, granted I may attempt to return to it later.

I managed $16,575 on that first one. Took me forever to get it to lock at just under $24,000 with all metal, then I managed to get all the metal and do 100% wood (with 4 hydraulics). It is a work of art. I put everything on the outside of the box and mirrored and flipped them... kind of like that FR-03 you looked at in the gallery (don't know how he did it with 2 tiny hydraulics). I could likely trim a bit, but I would have to redo all the geometry to get it to lock again. I gave up at this. It gave me top 15% and number 206 so I'm happy. I hated the second one.... absolutely hated it. I managed about $180,000. HATE HATE HATE HATE!!!!!!
