I Built The Most Destructive Slingshot Because This Game Let Me! [Instruments of Destruction]

[@gajspalt]

I actually bought this game because of you Scrapman. I've been enjoying every moment of experimenting with builds! The game also doubles as a great benchmarking tool lol.

[@_miobrot_603]

Cool name bro. How would you rate this game out of 10?

[@Hi._.0110]

Hi

[@gajspalt]

​@@_miobrot_603 Don't go in expecting complex gameplay or story, the game allows you to pull-off complex builds if you so choose, but doesn't punish you for not going that route. In the end it's all about no stress, chill building with the added satisfaction of watching your creations tank structures and your FPS into oblivion. I'd give it a solid 7.5/10, the physics feel better than most games in its genre, here's hoping we get larger maps and more gameplay options in the future.

[@Malefiscent]

I wonder if you could use a rope or chain that winds around a swivel to pull the slingshot for even more power. Like the crane used.

[@suicidalbanananana]

If ropes/bungee's can collide with each other a "Mangonel" would be a cool interpretation of your suggestion :D

[@5amu22]

Also to lower the site to be more accurate to where it actually goes, although it would take lots trial and error

Take your much-deserved like for that brilliant pun, my friend.

[@zentrivig]

I fun recommendation for a future episode would be a musical instrument of destruction. In the intro you could say, "welcome back to instruments of destruction, and today we are building an instrument of destruction". I good instrument could be those cymbals that you hit together and you could crush a building with them.

[@Kronikalrag3]

Try to make a contraption where you bore into the building like a drill bit / or pilot hole , and then the drill bit part has a rapid expand and contract feature to destroy it from the inside out ...like overly large dynabolt.

[@TheChungassSupreme]

Something I haven't seen anyone do: turn the vortex orb into a ranged projectile to test the destructive capabilities. Actually, what about the destructive properties of other pieces? I think your slingshot would be a great way to test that. Go down the list, and replace the warhead with other components, and see how they act as ammunition, and which works better. We might find out some neat properties of even the frame blocks by doing this.

[@lameyeoman3795]

Hi ScrapMan! My idea for an episode is some kind of scanner made of lasers, that scans from top to bottom, but instead of scanning the building, it melts it. Thank you.

[@UnknownZYX_4085]

Bad idea it’s so simple

[@toastedfoolery7137]

More instruments!!!!! loving your creations in this game! keep it up my man

[@itzyaboycody4441]

Idea: build something that crushes the building like a hydraulic press

[@short0811]

This game has one of the most satisfying destruction mechanics. Great video Scrapman!

[@crazybird199]

15:20 "This is a small but still large building" -Scrapman 2022

[@_Dalee_]

Make something that launches a volley of missiles at a target. Like bombs with thrusters on them. Almost like one of those firework boxes but sideways.🚀🚀🚀💥

[@SomeoneUknown15]

You can actually fix the stability by putting the pistons further towards the center of mass for the turning object (in this particular case, the slingshot). I'd suggest placing the pistons just below the "Y."

[@rudolf_box8440]

The game is like a more destructive version of trailmakers which makes it more fun

[@dianeharris266]

Scrap man+Batman equals a really smart super hero.

[@roccov3614]

Was not expecting that to be so accurate and consistent.

[@suicidalbanananana]

As a kid I loved playing with pea shooters, bscly a miniature catapult-like-thing, made from the plastic center of those small rolls of tape and a balloon (and some tape) you could maybe try make one using lots of bungee ropes in a circular layout?

[@Fnepsh]

Replace the bombs on the sling shot with one or more of those black hole thingies!

[@mastercrython2151]

you could just aim with the tank tracks but you found a great solution

[@TheItachikiller]

I would love to see you launch so many missiles that you hopefully destroy all of the buildings in one salvo

[@FoxTrot63]

You should build a ballista!

[@cyantasks7129]

15:50 nice aiming laser

[@balistix6723]

You should've done that when the slingshot aims up, the laser (at a starting position aiming to where it lands) points farer to the ground as far as the slingshot can reach

[@kaikornahrens1412]

Idea: Do this, but with outward vortex. There would be massive spread shot. Or inward for a great deal more damage

[@moroblizniak4457]

You could make yourself a challenge, get as much destruction with as low budget you can get

[@alphaghost608]

Idea: Build a controllable Nuke!

[@johnisraelcambronero3803]

I wish someone made a scrapman in a nutshell that would be fun to watch

[@DistantWaterFarms]

Day 67 of trying put a comment about people asking me the questions of the music he uses. If you have a question or multiple questions that has something to do with the music he uses like the names of the music, you can ask me by leaving a timestamp or a description of the track you're searching. I have a playlist containing a bunch of the music he uses so if you're interested, then go check it out. I have answered 100% of the questions that have been given to me.

[@thetrueminecrafter8091]

This would probably be easier using magnets and a trapped metal ball

[@SirNobleIZH]

Scrapman, you ahould build an Ekranoplan in Trailmakers

[@marquitusguillen9520]

Scrapman, you could actually make a hook that opens and closes, to grab the bomb releaser and like only shoot one at a time, then have 4 bombs in the sling and with the hook, grab and retract.

[@Ashfon124]

Scrapman: (Adds power swivel to slingshot) Me: "why? Your tank tracks provide yaw!"

[@JediDrewsterT]

Now I want to see Scrapman make a crossbow with a gravity loading magazine!

[@iankim1869]

smoothness is how much smoother the rope moves and stability keeps it upright

[@ArsFortuna]

You asked for crazy contraptions - what about trying to weaponize that weird oscillation? Making a smaller vehicle that can initiate that feedback loop, then release the grip to fling itself at the buildings?

[@GoshkaPolska]

9:22 Intresting how the aming lazer interacts with the water

[@mallowmeshes2526]

Very nice video,you are the reason i like scrap mechanic

[@Til241]

Now maybe you could use this mechanism to make a crossbow?

[@TheGam200]

I would like to see other iterations on this build maybe a magnet system to pull the bungie back. And seeing if you can get stronger releases and bigger pay loads. Also ballista ?

[@p11q5]

You can do it with magnets are batter then pistons also you will be able to reload but without the bomb 🤔.

[@pawedabek1445]

You sholud have went with a crossbow straight away. Cool video

[@Gabriel-wm2mt]

Video Idea: make a vehicle that throws spinning shurikens powered by thrusters and has lasers.

[@jamieevans5454]

Hi scrap man if you stick more bungie cords on your sling shoot it should go in a straight line instead of dropping down so where you point your Lazer sight

[@Psycorde]

This thing even has built-in celebratory hype frontflip

[@qgaucho9088]

Use a power swivel, some blocks, and two free swivels in a way where the steering for this would work seeing that a power swivel has no wobble.

[@takorakataar8181]

Now, you've made Beyblades in Trailmakers. And you've made Beyblades in Scrap Mechanic. But, although you don't have a stadium you can use it in... are you able to make a Beyblade in Instruments of Destruction?

[@Vinraymi]

the issue with the sway when you were trying to turn with the power swivel was because the strenght was at 0.3

[@scrapman]

Strength=Speed on moving parts. Increasing that would just lower precision

[@Vinraymi]

@@scrapman Yeah well it' kinda both strenght and speed at the same time because more strenght allows it to move heavier things easier so it can look like it's faster (at least irl, i don't know in the game) By the way, it makes me happy to see that you answered my comment, thanks a lot! :)

[@radufanaca7912]

I would love to see a bomber plane in this game.

[@SomeOne-rt5kn]

The slingshot was so happy that it did a flip

[@wiskrimsbadplay7549]

You should have try magnets to attach and detached it. I think you could go farther backwards with magnets than with pistons.

[@sidewaysrowlet9544]

idea: put thruster on the bomb(somehow) so it can go faster and more accurate

[@ratheonhudson3311]

In an alternative universe there might be "unexplosive bombs" as well as healing papercuts, so yeah.

[@cataclismicall]

I made my own slingshot before watching this to see how our ideas would differ.

[@jaceg810]

some kind of controllable missile like creation, kind of like an plane, but without wings, and with specialising into flying into buildings

[@Jbro-yp5qr]

Flex beams are The wedge of instruments of destruction

[@Chexmix6]

Maybe you could build a flail/mace that has lasers instead of spikes!

[@terra-ryan]

Same energy as a snowball with some rocks inside it

[@charismagavina7412]

You should make a bomber plane next so you can hit the tops and so you can use the aiming laser to aim better because it doesn’t work as well with the sling shot

[@andreasmelis7930]

Try this in trailmakers then search some buildings to destroy

[@vincentsalcido9605]

You could make a reloading version by instead making a tube in which the bomb travels through; then you pull the launcher back and drop in another bomb

[@jocosesonata]

A chainsaw ballista would be neat.

[@technicbuilder6410]

2 months and 21 days of asking ScrapMan for building an ekranoplan.

[@THESLlCK]

[@juanamariafortezaribas2751]

Scrapman I have two ideas that you could do on the bomb you could add a thruster behind the bomb, also try to do Godzilla with the lasers

[@making11]

Only real school bullies use the nuclear slingshot

[@m.n.m.ink.784]

I have a suggestion to make. On the concept of flexible component weaponry, I suggest you make a Bola, (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolas) A device made of a string, connected to multiple weights by other strings at the end. In operation, The end of the primary string is held while riven in a circular motion to cause the weights to revolve (Flail) around the hand. The String is then released, and the weights continue to move, tangent to the original path due to momentum. Due to rotation and the centripetal force, The weights move apart and revolve around each other. The then move to ensnare the target.

[@garethstefanus8555]

I love your IOD vids

[@jionixelengineer8578]

Is it only me who thinks Scrapman will create a "flex beam gang" as well as the wedge gang

[@ripurhrtout]

Can't remember if you did already but maybe try recreating the balista like you did in trail makers

[@tubois2025]

Maybe make a missile rpg mortar next?

[@kevinchen7166]

You can make a reloadable slingshot using cannons to spawn ammo

[@micahfell2516]

[@omegatheta1701]

i suspect that if you used a chain pulley system you could get better pull strength and make the whole thing reloadable

[@Calamibee]

Should’ve angled the laser down a bit so it can be accurate.

[@CallMe_Kaioh]

Instead of a release connector you can use an anchor block

[@tritoner1221]

make a harpoon cannon with a laser sight

[@MichalKolac]

Besiege also has ropes and rubber slingshot things

[@john_duncan]

do you have a swivel where the piston is attached to the flex beam? or is that suspension?

An interesting experiment would be to try and see how deep the water is, if there is a bottom or not, from what i can see it doesnt reset you as long as your vehicle isnt fully submerged so a long pole could maybe sink a lot?

You'd just have to have a balloon on a long string.
