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.

[@theturtlegoat1827]

You should build a spaceship that has 2 modes: One for traveling in deep space, and one for traveling in the atmospheres of the planets

[@deathvai364]

I tried something similar but only using thrusters and dear god that thing was unstable. It had 4 arms that changed position and while it did work, it was the most unstable thing ive made in a while

[@ThatGamerPilot]

ADD SOLAR PANELS THAT ROTATE INTO WINGS

[@DmitriSmith-tb7qo]

True

[@nolinkumar6855]

I did that and it was really good. I had sails on it for a solar panel like effect aesthetically but it ended up doubling as a lift surface in atmosphere.

[@Monsi_in_germany]

like a vtol of sorts

[@AlrenClan]

Idea: a battle with semi exposed logic. The vehicles should have at least a few pieces of semi exposed logic, so as the fight happens you would lose controls and things would spiral into chaos, ( you could also just have all the controls going through logic gates ) .

[@craigwhite1202]

Such a cool idea this comment should get a bunch of likes

[@Random-gibberish]

That’s a cool idea.

[@TheCaptNoname]

EMPs would make this so much more chaotic...

[@NyZandry]

I predict that he's gonna break the sound barrier in the hulrum caves

[@dogebro1]

Good idea

[@lake9496]

bro you're never gonna believe this 😂

[@dogebro1]

Bro he just did this today.

[@NyZandry]

I hope he notices my prediction skills@@dogebro1

[@NyZandry]

im proof that predicting the future is real@@lake9496

[@judet2992]

Flying through tunnels in Trailmakers with the new space parts is so much fun. It was easier for me because all my spaceships have downwards facing thrusters that are activated by speed sensors, so if they are level they can hover. It also helps with turning, especially in combat or at slow speeds on a planet.

[@rhin0c0rn]

You should do a dogfight with planes inside hulrum. It would be interesting to fly a plane in low gravity

[@JoshuaGanoTyraxLightning]

Might not be enough Atmo for Planes... but I could imagine Jets bein doable... Mimi Jet Dogfighting could be fun to watch inside Hulrum. :D

[@fikus7879]

12:17 Wandering spacecraft is a cool idea. Try making a uncontrolable spaceship/drone that wonders around randomly, but is still somewhat clever (like avoiding walls, keeping somewhat consistent direction, but still doing sharp turns and stuff). It might not be possible, i don't know if there are any random logic blocks

[@chkball1]

In the dev blogs, one of the vehicles they showed had a thrust vectoring system that looked interesting. You should try to build a craft that acts like a space vtol.

[@mrnaris4852]

7:07 you could've used 3 logic gates, one XOR gate that activates the thrusters and 2 of any gate that activate the XOR gate at the press of a button. The speed sensor goes into the XOR gate and as it is the only active thing it will activate the thrust, but, as soon as you press a button, the two logic gates activate at once and because they are two (more than one) they will deactivate the XOR gate so that even if the speed sensor is active it wont activate the thrusters.

[@Aussie_Man]

More Scrapman BABY!!

[@JanTonovski]

It looks like a Thunderbird 4 made for space, I like it!

[@justadam358]

It'd be fun to see how fast can you navigate that course with the rings. Set a record maybe?

[@GummieI]

Ohh that would be fun, not only is it a sort challenge of piloting skills, but since it is not a straight line, there is the matter of how fast, vs how easy to maneuver it, which those 2 things often stand in opposition to each other

[@markkulyk2297]

you should try attach yourself to an asteroid and have battles with the asteroids by throwing them

[@presidentmichael3349]

As for multiplayer I think a survival challenge of fast moving explosives would be interesting. Maybe you can find a way of making a bullet hell of stuff orbiting around the 1g asteroid and then let everyone try to survive it, maybe orbiting the opposite direction. The slow drift position movement of this creation would probably be useful for making dodging difficult.

[@StrangeQuark97]

Multiplayer idea: what about adogfight inside the Hulrum? Variable gravity & constant need to avoid the pilars might make it kinda interesting.

[@maxvanbeers4548]

a dogfight inside this planet would be amazing!

[@afish976]

Winged propeller planes duking it out inside Hulrum would be a bit like flying around on Titan. Way less gravity, and as much or more air compared to Earth. Battles would get even more interesting, dodging between the pillars.

[@MrCavespider11]

Do a rover battle on the GC4020 with downwards thrust

[@MRDUALITY]

Looks like a sweet place for hover mech battles 😊

[@mikehorrocks2909]

I wonder if the developers are thinking of a giant alien mothership for one of their future updates? Also a challenge for the scrap man: to craft an incoming projectile avoidance system for any craft. Land, sea, air and/or space.🤪

[@natcholyser]

Video Idea: Do a Space Race through the Rings (maybe even without the quantum ruder and Gyros, but that would be very hard)

[@ltcolthorin8661]

Yes, please

[@afish976]

I want to know if the new gyro parts will help in building aircraft, especially anything that hovers in place. I've also read (in a YT comment) that sails have aerodynamic interactions in space... And I think there's a lot of interesting physics experiments and machines to try to make out of quantum rudders.

[@SeanPatrickGo]

Video idea: maybe large spaceship carrier where you can dock smaller ships? No really sure but sounds interesting! 😅 Reminds me of a space MMO I used to play called Vendetta Online where you can dock passing trading ships. It's a pretty outdated game but no doubt nostalgic!

[@joaomigueltorresbueno4457]

No it isint unrealistyc its prety coll and totably doable

[@moroblizniak4457]

0:38 Im glad ScrapMan actually read the comments

[@suicidalbanananana]

Perfectly fine circuit, most people use a distance sensor facing a block instead of an altitude sensor but beyond that it's the same, so don't be so hard on yourself, logic in Trailmakers is just more cumbersome compared to the logic blocks in Scrap Mechanic 😉 You can connect seats to logic blocks for a signal when the seat is in use to deal with your drifting away issue, or just do the same sort of thing for all directions 😁👍

[@gingercat1024]

Try making a full stealth spacecraft, maybe using dark blaster and camo.

[@slannim873]

You guys should do a spaceship evolution race using the ring course!

[@FavoredTaco]

For the down vs up thing, it's an altitude sensor going into an or gate, and then you put the ctrl in the backwards input spot, and then the or gate into the and gate.

[@joel1010]

Please make a video on thrust vectoring like the F22. It could help you in space and atmosphere!

[@End_me_please]

Fun fact: Hulrum is the Danish and Swedish word for cavity, and Hulrum has very big cavity (flashbulb is Danish)

[@wimsmekens]

Danish*

[@End_me_please]

@@wimsmekens oh thanks for correcting me. My friends said that they were swedish, and apparently i cant trust my friends anymore.

[@fredrickbambino]

Day 48 of asking scrapman to battle with flying tanks

[@Dead_manX_X6296]

I see you on different vid

[@legorescueairboat8072]

ē

[@ryanburton203]

Space tanks yet again sptanks

[@breadedbread3561]

I keep thinking of that .gif of the tank flying away by spinning it's turret really fast.

[@funkymunky7935]

*armoured planes

[@Stump_Da_Dee]

7:09 an easier way (and my way) to do it is have your speed sensor hooked into an XOR gate and have that XOR gate hooked into your thrusters. Then have another XOR gate set to a negative output and hook it into the first XOR gate to turn your thrusters off. Then you put your thrust on the top and set it to the opposite control as your lift.

[@VacuumIam]

hello scrappy. thanks for the content and keep up the good work

[@yuriykaraivan8310]

Aimless flight through rings sounds like an Easter egg for Superman 64 lol

[@ThatDomGuy]

Have you been to the black ball singularity in the middle of the more active asteroid field? I'm not sure if that's what it's suppose to be but it kind of acts like a black hole. I landed on it no problem but had to build up some forward momentum and circle it to break away from its gravity:) Kinda cool:) Keep up the great work holmes:)

[@TheTenzen12]

Definitelly agree that Hulrum space battle would be awesome. Pls dew it.

[@saucep3747]

An idea for a video you could take a few of your space creations and see just how worse they handle in the other maps and take old creations from old battles and stuff and see if they could work in space if quantum rudders are added

[@M.A.DesignStudio]

Video idea: you can revisit your real-life vehicle recreation series by recreating RX-78 Mobile Suit Gundam. It was fictional for quite a long time, but now it exists in real life! In the show it was used for space combat, so after you build it, you can fight some space pirates at Nassau!

[@thesunnynationg]

have 2 thrusters for strafing on each side. and the rear thrusters should be a little stronger to counteract the drag from the quantum Ruder.

[@ultimatetybreaker3467]

Scrapman! Last time you grabbed onto an enemy plane, you hooked on from behind. Now that you're in space and the enemy tries to get behind you, you should see if you can attach yourself to an enemy spacecraft from the front!

[@marksearle9603]

Hey you should do a zero G battle race. Basically Racing around the trailmakers space map in cars that can glide in space. you would have to dodge other peoples weaponry, avoid NPC fighters and manuever to different locations whether they have atmosphere or not.

[@cyantasks7129]

the angling ruins it because you can sort of sideslip into the ground without activating the speed sensor, since you tilted the plane that it works on

[@jonathantucker5534]

You can us that dampener not just for planets, but also for your larger ships. You could have it so the ship automatically stopped when you aren’t thrusting.

[@LoganSomers]

You should have a wall Rover fight hulrum, like fighting on the ceiling, walls and stuff like that in a land vehicle.

[@theinfernollama8564]

I would love to see the effects of hoverpads in space and when entering a planet

[@MasterMayhem78]

The bouncy Qrudders are driving me crazy

[@limbomask4745]

I have found a couple of race tracks. Would love to see a multiplayer Monday race

[@DETHdressedInRED]

Random: Skreeee! **Hits the deck, screeches, then crawls quickly like a goblin across the floor up the wall and across the ceiling to the upstairs and disappears**

[@wimsmekens]

The cave is a wink towards the WoW area called "deepholm", the devs like that game, same goes for the giant mushrooms area...

[@LetsGetGaming.]

I’ve been doing this with al my hover builds and i used it a lot with the airborn map

[@thayerfogerson2186]

You should build like a full-on space station that's like really big that's like self-orbiting around that rock that you found earlier that has the gravity that you can like park other ships at and stuff and it will adjust itself

[@megatryn]

Me at 10:22 realizing that the cave he's entering is called Hulrum, which in Norwegian can be translated to "hollow room" or cave. :D

[@oskarsieka233]

You should do a wall climbing rover battle inside one of these planets

[@nutmeggaming11261]

Day 4 of asking Scrap Man for Trailmakers "Build Swap": Everyone makes a creation, but each round everyone has one persons creation, and it switches. As in round one is Yuzi's creation, round two is ScrapMan's creation. A lot of strategy can go into this I think, as well as this could be with any creation. You'd have to make a creation that works for you but noone else, and somehow not slip you up. And you also need to be able to learn other people's creations on the fly.

[@darioadame5074]

I got a suggestion. How about 2v2 Frankentank like the franken plane video One will build the body and the other will build a turret and i have a twist, the turret will have 10 powercores and the body will have 20 powercores(only for special stuff you guys can set the power cores for the propulsion) like deployable shields, more engines etc. I will be fine if this doesn't get into a video but im just throwing my idea out there (i will be happy if atleast scrapman sees this)

[@ryanpp7908]

Next video idea: a dogfight with cars on one of the planets

[@chrisjr.sinner8567]

Could you do a sort vid about how to set up the logic? For a simple mind such as myself it was difficult to try and set up and it still isn’t working as intended, if you could that would be great!

[@chrisjr.sinner8567]

Short*

[@mafferyoue8908]

im danish too like the creators and when i see hulrum it makes so much sense because hul means hole and rum means room so holeroom

[@LoPhatKao]

on top of Hulrum would be a good place for 'space beyblades' might need a negative power gimbal to stick to surface

[@Chris-ok4zo]

The shape and color of Scraps' ship reminds me a bit of the Pokémon Electrike. Had to look up the name since I don't know much about Pokémon.

[@trezcat7776]

you need to do some themed battles like for example star wars or star trek etc that would be awesome

[@thekiplingcats5595]

Love the videos👍

[@foxboy8837]

You should use some hover pads every now and then for on planet exploration

[@steelhorn2029]

Please try out the hover pads in the low Gs.

[@user-hp5ks5dd9k]

Star Wars themed space battle!!!!

[@AlanFlindell]

Hey scrapman! Can you tell me the details and ins/outs of your height stabilising/booster hovering system in this build please? I’ve been having a lot of struggle trying to figure it out for my own builds. Even doing the things from video tutorials on KZbin, I can’t seem to get it to work properly on my builds

[@lindsayw1492]

You should build a small, artificial planet with magnets, so it has artificial gravity and try to orbit around it

[@corvisian4267]

Fighters VS bomber IN SPACE!

[@matthiasm.official331]

An over 1000 or even 2000 Blocks giant Star Destroyer for example the Venator Class against small Fighters like TIE, X Wing&Co. 4 people share the Destroyer and it weapons and 4 are battling against it.

[@RashyaLucky]

I actually got a Sonic Boom caused by my vehicle glitching out, i was shocked cuz i didn't even think it will happen cuz you're in space

[@mattchisholm7074]

You can use the gyros as thrust if you use the spinning servo. I've made a working helicopter completely using gyros for the thrust. Should see if they can break the sound barrier, hint hint...😏

[@_ja_9743]

Do a rover battle on all 3 different planets!

[@thegamerserpent4271]

You should really check out space engineers. It’s survival isn’t that good but the actual building mechanics are fun and it would make for an interesting battle

[@gustavakeson5888]

u can acually break the sound barrier in space on the planets, i did when i crashed my space craft on a planet going 100000 kmh, but the planet must have a atmosphere

[@lordcatofthepurplevoid8633]

you should do a space battle with two fighters and one bigger ship with one gunner and a pilot

[@Gnordlan]

Now you need hover drone PVP combat.

[@garlicbreadstick404]

MM idea: do a space race utilizing the space rings at Hulrum, EMP allowed

[@zcoop2808]

I went back and watched the first Q&A and still cant belive you used to teach kids circus tricks

[@edgarviernes2532]

Do bombers vs defenders but the bombers drop dynamite and you guys use emp's but they have to drop at an angle going down to make it like a bomb

[@fleetwingpone966]

you only needed the speed sensor, the input button OR, and the AND lol. just hook the sensor and unput OR into the AND, then the AND into the thrusters

[@maxzinusnightfury1208]

you should try touching the crystals in hulrum, also you might want to double check your videos description

[@mangomanatee3584]

You should do a 2v2 dogfight but each team has 1 plane.one could fly and one could shoot.

[@thesunnynationg]

NEXT: break the sound barrier with the new thrusters!

[@unsolvedcube6320]

I saw those rings when I was building Jetfire for space travel

[@unsolvedcube6320]

I wonder how they work

[@Zippy1527]

You should test how hover pads work in space

[@quincyscrivner89]

your ship almost looks like Peanut Hamper from ST: Lower Decks

[@ezra5154]

You should do a ground battle on the cargo ship using down force it would also allow you to go on its sides

[@simoneventurini2191]

Idea: try to recreate the Interstellar docking scene

[@samael335]

Spaceship jousting. Fly past each other with tnt tipped "lances" of diagonal tubes. Head to head only.

[@mwg5869]

Is it possible to cancel the effect of space rudder, like if you push a block in its back. If it work, you could toggle between hyperspeed, and maneuverability

[@thedukester16]

Hey scrap, i wanted to ask you about that fist fighter ship you made because i saw that when you hit downwards thrust there was a gimbal exausht in your rocket thruster, but i thougt that gimbals always fire UPWARDS

[@animalmango6499]

They can have a negative output.

[@zetch-Protofennec]

The ai of the enemy craft is not quite the greatest. In the air they'll swarm you like piranhas but if you're on the ground they can't target you very well

[@raczkowskijoe]

With all the new parts you need to revisit the evolution or de-evolution videos and create new ones

[@halomasterbeef5453]

I just realized that couldn’t you use the speed sensors on that one ball in the asteroid belt so that you constantly stay in orbit using thrusters?

[@user-uz4my8xr4d]

How has nobody thought of wall climbing under planets yet

[@benjay1552]

Could you upload some of the creations to the steam workshop.

[@prithviprajapati8245]

Break the sound barrier with the space thrusters

[@Gold_hoarder]

Day 3 of asking scrap to do a space battle evolution

[@LetsGetGaming.]

Its da best builder mr scrap man

[@deon5729]

hmm i wonder from which planets would it be possible to jump away basiclly without using any propulsion while in the air and a ground vechicle kinda launching itself from like a kraten or a hill on the planet to yeet itselfs up

[@Geninacra]

You could do a battle inside this "planet". Each round, rump up the minimum speed. With the same sistem that you just used, but detonating dinamite instead of going up.

[@THESKIARTIST]

I want you to do a biathlon on all the different planets and build a vehicle according to the terrain
