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.

[@myththegoatlover]

It would be a cool concept if they can have a land vehicle battle on Myco Terra with player name tags off.

[@semi-useful5178]

Yeah, hunting each other, the Most Dangerous Game

[@myththegoatlover]

@@semi-useful5178 it could make for a more realistic and tense battle though, when you dont know where your opponent's exact position is your senses tend to be on heightened alert.

[@semi-useful5178]

@@myththegoatlover I'm agreeing with you, Socrates.

[@WolfiWeinbrecht]

not just scrapman building strafe into that thing but instead of using it, drifting around every corner like a madman

[@lewi3xclusive95]

I was literally about to say😂😂 like why even put it in there lol

[@porger]

The first propeller design would have worked amazingly if you added a speed sensor to make it automatically hover. The speed sensor's threshold is at zero and it feeds into an XOR gate that has a single constant input and another button input. If this input is activated the hover system disengages so you fall. If the input for the propeller is activated it will be always on, and you go up. You also can have a second speed sensor with a higher threshold hooked up to the propeller that never deactivates so you don't fall too fast and die. (If you are wondering I've created a similar vehicle called the Spectator VTOL, named because it controls like a spectator camera)

[@jeremymartin228]

Honestly an amazing idea ngl

[@liammcguire4046]

21:53 you can have an upwards facing speed sensor set to 0.01 and trigger bellow running into an xor gate, then have two or gates running into the xor gate with the control set for a “down” button. Have your propulsion set to the control you want within its own terminal and have the xor gate running into the propulsion block. All of this together will allow you to raise and lower your altitude, when you let go of your controls, the craft will stay at the altitude that you set it for.

[@avicennaren1053]

If only the first person isn't absolutely terrible Seems like this would've given a very cozy utilitatian feel with all the stuff in the peripheral

[@Neclony]

there was once a perfectly hovering cube. I believe it was able to hover a varying heights, would be awesome for a small planet with uncertain conditions if even possible.

[@SolarPunchGames]

yes! i have actually tried that cube. would be cool

[@saraihooper75]

A Interesting theory from the Doon episode: Doon is POSSIBLY a part of the high seas DLC map

[@natchland4767]

The devs should add a drone kinda block that allows you to control detached objects like custom rockets and other mini crafts.

[@oofdotcom]

Like a drone core from Kerbal space program

[@legolooper]

Detachable block has entered chat

[@natchland4767]

@legolooper the detachable block is good but you can't controll the detached object.

[@CreativeSanbox-KH]

He should build a vehicle that can travel around land and space for the next one

[@lancesrr4124]

1:03 it looks like a mechanical version of the Peeper from Subnautica.

[@oshimia6746]

Try attaching a propeller and a quantum rudder while outside of atmosphere and see if it works then.

[@QuillDoodle]

thats not how quantum rudders work

[@oshimia6746]

@@QuillDoodle That depends on how they've coded it. Drag is a complex thing in a video game, and it would be pretty easy to re-use the code that they used for the atmospheric drag. It would also be pretty easy to remove a bunch of the code that relates to the actual atmosphere part. Depends on how they implemented the rudders and if they did re-use code they thought about other atmospheric effects or not.

[@QuillDoodle]

@@oshimia6746 I mean that it literally doesn't work that way as I should know as I own the game and tested it Kosmonaut did accidentally find a bug that would make them technically work but it is super glitchy and unreliable

[@AlrenClan]

For Hilton I think a fun idea would to be a helicopter car that uses thrusters constantly on that rotate ( kind of like collective pitch ) to change the lift.

[@RedCreeperPro]

You will need a small space craft that is okay with some gravity and the entrance for the planet is on the side that looks away from Nassau. You may need some weapons.

[@gangsta-toilet]

you should build a massive mothership that can deploy the helicopter in atmosphere

[@LateToSocialMedia]

Scrap Man, since you have an orbital body (asteroid), how about a long range self-guided multistage rockets that perform a slingshot maneuver? It would be troubleshooting heavy, but that would be such a cool build - You release it from a static location at the asteroid and it comes back to you having circled around it in the asteroid's gravitational well. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@BLUE_B0sea0cS]

I have an idea for both your exploration vehicle and a video idea. The vehicle must be a walker you haven't built any walkers since a long time. The video a space ship battle. And i mean ships like the flying ships from Peter pan or treasure planet movies. Hulroom is like treasure planet itself don't you think that? As they both are hollowed and have some gold in them.

[@roccov3614]

Finally! Scrapman makes a strafing build. Scrapman proceeds to ignore the super convenient strafing controls and whip his heli left and right to avoid hitting the walls.

[@HazardOfExistance]

Gotta make a Pogo Stick for Hulrum, it's the only reasonable choice.

[@tomasgm155]

The ship he uses at the beginning really looks like a Peeper from Subnautica (going backwards)

[@Twisted1409]

We need an atmosphere sensor block now.

[@radontrailmakers]

A speed sensor pointed down that activates downward thrusters if the vehicle started falling works.

[@thegamersreal69]

If you go above the speed for breaking the sound barrier and enter an atmosphere, the effect will show.

[@eriktheboyb8591]

1:05 The ship kinda looks like the subnautica peeper

[@pumpkin_blob2240]

YES

[@the_mayne]

you should try to launch yourself from one planet to another using a catapult or something. it should be possible I think

[@Zionity]

Nice!! I’m not sure if other people suggested it as well, but this is an idea I suggested!

[@Pyroturtle1]

Multiplayer Idea: Make planes, helis, or some other air vehicle that can only work in atmosphere and fight in some of the different planets. You have to stay within the atmosphere or you go flying away into space.

[@lousilver3646]

scrapman’s ship from the start totally looks like a backwards subnautica peeper

[@cylisplaysgames]

As Scrapman is flying around, in my mind I'm hearing the Imperial Probe Droid sound effect...

[@primaldiglett8073]

Real

[@johncage5368]

Nice drone build!

[@larualrdyno5277]

You and friends should do a race through the secret tunnel

[@judet2992]

Your spaceship looks like a backwards Peeper and I can’t unsee it.

[@DanyF02]

If you want your drone to work on every planet, instead of using an altitude sensor that's always on, you could use different "OR" blocks tuned to each planets, then just activate the one for the place you're at.

[@alexbell1612]

plotting a race course through the mushroom forest and cave could be interesting 🤔

[@crazyfrog4275]

Hey scrap man!! I gave Yuzi this challenge the other day. build a reaslistic space fighter. you need 3 axis gyro control and high power pulsed thrust in all directions to get to speed then you can just rotate in any direction to aim and fire. Ohh no quantum rudder

[@bonesciencegaming3863]

Maybe if you used a suspension spring and a couple of distance sensors you could make an adaptive hover

[@siboneyyy]

I think you forgot to mention what you've used the speed sensor for (I guess for idle throttle?) maybe cool if you click the logic items when you explain them, so we can see what they're connected to, thanks for the video!

[@AzurineSky]

Oooh, a walking type sounds great, if perhaps more difficult. Now I'm picturing spiders, 😂 the kind that use hover tech to walk (or wheel?) up walls, then spread out their legs to fly (glider style?).

[@Conscientious_Objector7104]

Multiplayer challenge: Fight using spaceships but the spaceships can’t have any space-bound propulsion, quantum rudders, or optionally, no gyros.

[@sinium8957]

You remember the submarine/trucks that can only fire in the air? What about the reverse of planes that can only fire on the ground/water? I have an idea to stop people sitting on the ground and that being a timer hooked up to TNT so you have to take off before you blow up.

[@BBG_FA]

The primary colour of the energy sheld is the inner layer of it

[@christianjansen5076]

I have been plaing the update so much today and it is soooo cool, I think it is gonna change the YT content too

[@just_man209]

Hulrum has very low gravity and truck tires have very little grip so maybe make a hovercraft or something like that

[@ScoutThePurple7]

uh scrapman, I think doon is high seas because the chirpo said it looked like fish lived there, and there’s the vortex.

[@randomaccount-rw3bm]

That sword thing looks like a peeper from Subnautica

[@_cutepanda_]

How cool would it be if they did a spaceship through the caves on myco terra

[@Tree_Bricks]

you should do a helicopter battle inside that cave it would be so cool

[@Tree_Bricks]

or you could do a ground battle on the floor of the cave and battle with cars or tanks

[@jamesetaylor89]

Instead of transforming between builds, can you build a spaceship that detaches a lander and then can reattach? The transition between atmospheres will be interesting.

[@ShawnHCorey]

How about a small, remote-controlled probe-drone to get into cramp spaces?

[@exafawn]

You could definitely do a land race down that tunnel

[@someasiandude2008]

after you finish exploring all the planets, make a vehicle that can drop off all the vehicles you made for each planet like dropping it from orbit

[@game_lord4175]

I have an idea for you. Build an mothership that drops small planes with explosives. :D

[@Blank-401]

idea: you need to built a vehicle that can be uses in space and Atmosphere then you Fight one round on every planet plus space

[@seegurke2021]

Maybe Doon resembles the Sea Floor of high Seas dlc? Theres a vortex too…

[@CagyNater]

Can’t wait to play this, it comes out today!

[@RedCreeperPro]

It is out now

[@oko_cha]

you could build a walker, that uses space tech for stabilisation, for hulrum.

[@prithviprajapati8245]

For the next exploration episode if the planet is traversable then make a futuristic space sports car that looks very nice and can traverse any type of terrain, to do that u can either make it a wall climber or a hover car, both would be sick

[@jionixel1530]

I mean Hulrum is pretty flat on the surface

[@Entropy_____]

Build a spacecraft carrier that actually have spacecrafts that can dock and take off from it

[@tOhB_]

That first ship reminds me of the Peeper from Subnautica

[@Robot_bro2011]

Maybe it's just me, but the EMP only ship really looks like a Peeper from Subnautica.

[@RobertJackson-vc9rk]

Scrapman missed some gold at the edge of the cave on the side of the planet

[@S0m3wun]

racing down the tunnel in small cars would b cool

[@bonesciencegaming3863]

Do a battle inside of one of the planets with wall climbers would be cool

[@oofdotcom]

I'm going to try make a RCS type ship so not using rudders but rocket engines as the rcs so I can instantly change direction

[@SeanPatrickGo]

ScrapMan back at it with the epic uploads!

[@MischiefManiac578]

You should go back to the evolution idea but do it with spaceships now.

[@jaroldscottwilliams.3rd832]

Your da vinci copter thing is cool, love the way it looks, but have you considered a VTOL mode fighter jet able to go in space or atmosphere?

[@pequenoZero]

It would be really cool, if you showed off the Mirror Mode, now that it's maybe not in beta anymore! :O - I've worked hard to make it work.

[@theinfernollama8564]

Maybe a hovercraft for Hulrum would be cool

[@CiphecDec]

Paused the video at 3:56 to comment, When you chose the Cockpit that you did and started talking about stabilizers I was thinking you were about to make a tail like a helicopter with the gyro. Lets see if you do in the end

[@Overllord528]

My snack cave would be covered wall-to-wall with Nacho Cheese Doritos. And lots of them.

[@BusyTrailmakers]

You make a tie fighter, yuezi makes an xwing, you to have a Death Star trench run on a modded map 👍

[@sepehrraisi]

You should build a craft that only uses atmospheric thrust to jump from a planet to another planet.

[@Chargerburn]

1:00 bro that’s a subnatica peeper 💀

[@kepstin]

It would have been neat if you could tilt the helicopter for propulsion instead of using sideways pointing thrusters. Do the gyro stabilizers have a control that you could have used to tilt it?

[@elimeth4230]

is doon trailmakers supposed to be a reference to kirite in starlink. both suggested to be dried up once ocean planets, both having remnants of aqautic life like giant bone's everywhere and coral remnants. could be a coincidence but if i had a nickle for everytime a dry planet is suggested to be a once mega ocean i'd have 2 nickles, which isnt much but its weird it happend twice right.

[@primaldiglett8073]

Tatooine used to be an ocean

[@lewi3xclusive95]

21:58 you need to talk to the creators about a atmosphere and gravity sensors to the logic

[@soulreaper1981]

The emp ship looks like one of the fish form subnautica

[@Jjones5202]

Scrap: “What would you put in a/your snack-cave?” My thoughts: “I would put spicy Doritos, Sour patch kids, M&Ms, and Trollis (Sour gummy worms) in my snack-cave”

[@anglo1094]

Hey Scrapman I had and idea where how about replacing the space thruster for going front, back, left strafe, right strafe how about rotating the gyro stabilizers with a servo and allow the propeller to give itself forward, backward Etc. I don't know if this actually works because I haven't played the game yet anyway great video!

[@hardboiled_cat]

that sounds like a very creative idea! would also save on power cores massively and i can imagine having fun figuring out the logic for it

[@justadude7455]

It definitely should work. I've seen people do similar things with compass blocks and helicopter engines, but this should function way better

[@satire__]

Idea: You could make a car that turns into a spaceship

[@Lucy_Lou2]

*_SCRAPMAN!!!_* If you use a speed sensor and point the little fan on it down, then set the speed to 0 kph and link it to your lift then it will automatically try to stay perfectly level!!

[@sootamander4398]

Your multiplayer ship looks like a fire breathing peeper from subnautica

[@ThatOneOleDude]

the multi player monady space ship looks like a red variation of a peeper from subnautica but backwards

[@MalakiDenham]

BTW you can turn back on the old rotation system @ScrapMan

[@QuillDoodle]

you should build a futuristic hovercar for Hulrum

[@Joseph-ch4xu]

You should definitely do a vtol aircraft

[@0megaming]

how about quantum rudders as wingtips for the drone? just to not have to deal that much with loosing athmosphere.

[@daniel_77.]

asking scrapman to build a machine that pushes one building into another one, like a domino, in instruments of destruction

[@fl0G2]

use the new parts on the normal map and test them!

[@TeryVeru]

the mushrooms and slimes are defending against pirates, sometimes that means destroying a pirate ship above the mushroom planet. mushrooms and slimes don't steal it's gold. that lures more pirates who try to cut down mushrooms and get destroyed by slimes. Trailmakers can take the gold because they aren't harming us. we are siamese twins slimes Terezka and Verunka.

[@archidonwarrior]

Hulrum is like a cave planet right? what if you made a hoverpad glitch wall crawler? it's been a hot minute since you've built one. or just see how much weight you can put on a wall crawler with only one giant rocket thruster for downforce.

[@jccrofty30]

Walker for Holrum would be sweet...

[@DanielGonzalez-eu9sb]

You should do a ground Battle in the asteroid vortex

[@qwerty-od4lg]

The update is so good

[@catamacko6348]

13:18 You missed a pyramid coin thingy. It's couple-ish of seconds before entering the tunnel. Again 13:18 the loot pyramid is right in front and in the center of the screen.

[@D32L14N]

23:30 try to combine the ground rover with helicopter rover and make a rover that can drive or fly if you need to

[@Berilaco]

You should collab with yzuei and make a new and improved space exploration set that has more function and yzuei makes it look hood

[@dondonlabor8656]

It be better if there was a gravity sensor to help your copters lift at diff g force

[@dennisonpoon519]

Very random question, can you make the cockpit of emp only ship spin for like when want to be different kinds of pancakes I guess. I have no idea it just popped in my head when I saw the ship

[@shannetfebriyanti1970]

We need a Walker for the next planetary exploration we can also use it for planetary battle

[@bonesciencegaming3863]

Anybody reminded of the scrap mechanic mars thing, when he sent the drones into the different places
