[@Chris-ok4zo]

I feel like throwing things like spears is a more "full body" effort than most think, like you gotta twist your body to add momentum. Also, you gotta account for more complex joints, like the ball-socket of the shoulder allowing it to move more freely.

[@joshuabates2200]

I completely agree with this. I would also add a forward step, moving as a sideways swinging arc, an accounting for weapon balance, a counter weight as part of that, and more of a whipping swing done with the launching arm. For extra momentum. But that's for a more human like throw rather than the animatronic form he mentioned.

[@coryman125]

Not to mention timing; to throw something accurately, the window of time to not miss the target is often shorter than the time it takes for the nerve signal to go down your arm. We are REALLY evolved for this

[@Wither-the-L3]

True, however that would be extremely hard to make in Trailmakers with the build grid. If you do (for any reason) make a spear thrower that does have that, tag me, i'd love to see that

[@steeljawX]

Yeah, I feel like just adding a bit of a "torso rotation" would make it a bit closer to a spear throw. He's got more of a dart throw right now and you can definitely tell the difference by just comparing a pro dart thrower to an Olympic javelin thrower. Aside from one's running, the javelin thrower's trying to get all the power out of their body into yeeting that javelin as far as they can. The dart thrower is focused on accuracy and not having any other part of their body interfere with their throw, so they simplify it down to their elbow, wrist, and a small amount of shoulder extension (which is essentially Scrapman's build.) He just needs to take on the daunting task of combining a kind of discus throwing mechanism's base and adding his "dart throwing" spear thrower mechanism to it and get it all synced up.

[@azureowl3560]

For the next multiplayer Monday I have a really fun idea: Randomized 2v2 but with a twist. Each of the 4 players builds a front half of a plane that is only allowed to be thrust and roll control, and a back half that is only allowed to be pitch control and weaponry. Then, each person gets randomly assigned their team-mate and what role in the aircraft they get. P.S you can make the goal with these hybrid planes whatever you want, but I think a multi-event video such as the Trailmakers equivalent of a Triathlon would be cool. Maybe even lean into that idea where it's each person having to make a Land, Sea, and Air capable vehicle but is required to have a team-mate and attach to them to then compete somehow.

[@Pale_Kingg]

*Buster strikes again!!!*

[@leprachaun69]

Id love to see you take this idea further and create an Atlatl. It was an ancient invention that allowed spear throwers to achieve much further distances and power. The great thing about Atlatls is that they are essentially just a stick with a nub on one end to set the spear in. You then use the leverage of the stick to throw the spear. its super simple to make irl but i would imagine it'd be quite the challenge in game.

[@IbmnPtBngYT]

You don't need a cone in the front, you need less aerodynamic profile and better aerodynamics on the front with drag on the back. Remove the cones and add 4 stabilizers on the back

[@davidannen7448]

Or just move the cone to the back

[@ianadams3739]

Also need to change the balance point on the spear. The further to the front of the spear for the connection, the less rotation you'll have because of induced drag stability

[@funkynibblet]

Part of the initial problem that gave you so much difficulty in the beginning is that our elbow doesn't go straight up and down, it rotates horizontally while moving forward while simultaneously rotating the wrist upward when throwing. This helps stabilize the vertical position of the spear

[@pularis1629]

27:59 he’s playing satisfactory conformed (Jokes aside let’s all like this so he will play Satisfactory, I would love to see him go in blind, and be very confused at everything. I need a scrapman playing Sarisfactory, and I need someone new to Satisfactory playing Satisfactory, so scrapman should play Satisfsctory)

BUSTER’S BACK 20:51

[@joeywillams3081]

Challenge idea, figure out how to fly a rotating rocket. Think you're human guided rockets but the vertical and horizontal stabilizers are on a tilt so the faster you fly the faster you rotate so you have to set up some kind of logic gate to allow a cervo to only work in the right orientation and then change automatically as you rotate

[@JACKSONOTT]

🔥 fire idea 🔥

[@isoul22]

When you ad the green logic gates at first you accidentally had them all targeting the shoulder joint, that’s why changing the value of the first gate wasn’t working

[@Green.Mustard]

[@benschiller8735]

I suggested this idea right when the power couplings came out, but I don't think you saw it, so I'm gonna suggest it here again: build arresting cables on the aircraft carrier and try landing a plane into them

14:20 something that might be interfering with it is the physics of trailmakers (which we all no isn't the best), I've found that an objects heading can drastically affect whether or not it works correctly.

[@nihl2951]

SCRAPMANNNNN EVOLUTION DOGFIGHTERSS PLEASEEEEE. It could be separate evolutionary paths (each player sticks with the same plane they had from the start but changes it each round) so that there's more diversity and like reactionary evolution and stuff Eg if your opponent uses thrust vectoring, next round you could put on an emp instead of an extra smart cannon

[@jsp7061]

Ornithopter planes!!!

[@HismiGamer]

yea that woud be fun

[@Broroboros]

[@Bluegillpov]

hey scrap brother, the reason the wrist was delayed is because the shoulder and elbow were turning the same way, kinda doubling the speed, while the wrist only had one until you doubled it, nice vid man.

[@ivocunha3362]

I'm glad to see that Buster is alive and well!

[@tyredburnout2537]

That guitar in the background is seriously awesome

[@iirovaisanenno4827]

9:18 what the other arm doing? 💀💀

[@coryman125]

I don't know how well Trailmakers deals with this stuff, I know it's really annoying in some games, but replacing the forearm with a parallelogram might help? Thinking about the geometry of what's happening, you're essentially pushing the spear straight forwards. The wrist bends to keep the spear level, the elbow bends to generate the force, and the shoulder only moves enough that the wrist stays level as the forearm angle changes. Parallelograms keep opposite sides parallel, as the name says, so you wouldn't have to manually sync up the speed of the wrist with the other joints. Incidentally, real arms actually have two bones in the forearm, so it would be more realistic in a weird way! As for the javelin, I learned today that real ones are actually very simple, no fins on the back or anything, and they're instead spin-stabilised by the way they're thrown, so that's cool

[@1mariomaniac]

it might work, but Trailmakers really hates lots of rotating parts on a single build

[@vebjrnlaksosnes8507]

Scrapman is SHREDDED!!! Did not expect that

[@TinaGloria2012]

When scrap was having the issue with his original logic not working right he was controlling the servos with both logic and seat controls. So that's why the logic wasn't adjusting the angle that the "arm" joints were "bending".

[@SN6SprtnNble6]

I saw the picture for the video and was immediately like, "Buster's back!"

[@GummieI]

tbf, a real spreathrow, the most important movement, might just be the rotation of the entire body, it is FAR more than just the arm's joints that move for a spear throw

[@funkynibblet]

How cool would it be if there was an episode where ScrapMan takes all the Busters he's ever used and all the devices he's used on him and combines them into one mega-Buster!

[@spearsage]

Now make a land vehicle that either stops or fixes itself in place after it starts moving for certain amount of time, attach it under the javelin thrower, and you have a vehicle for turn-based javelin throwing game.

[@Statenhiggins135]

I love building the builds with you and if you use any dlc parts I try to overcome that. Love the videos

[@thomasbrown8398]

28:09 Throwing a spear Austrian Painter style. 😂

[@1mariomaniac]

Whats happening with the wrist is that the wrist servo needs to be double the speed of the elbow servo to reach the end point at the same time. Right now the elbow and wrist servos are going in opposite directions at the same speed which makes the wrist looks like it's holding the same angle until the elbow stops moving and the wrist is allowed to move the rest of the way. I'm not exactly sure how you'd go about fixing that, though, aside from just lowering the speed of the elbow. Edit: Aha! you found a solution!

[@The21PercentOfAir]

There is something about how fins stabilizers are placed in the back of missiles because putting them at the front would make it turn backwards. Don't know if it applies to your spear.

[@r.mccabe4356]

Ooh you could make buster throw a Frisbee or a discus, I wonder how like a spinning disc without propulsion would even work in trail makers, if I wasn't traveling I'd test it out now.

You could add a small blaster at the elbow for a reticle so it's easier to aim

[@kjeldsloot]

At 4:57 he is throwing an Sphere? Yes he is sure about that. But at the end it worked so good with the spears.

You need to replace the tip of the spear with dynamite and use that as the weapon on a multiplayer Monday😂

[@superkillskulldeath6624]

sooo should we tell him that when he was aiming down at the ball the tail of the spear was hitting the head of the guy

[@Milkbeach]

It would be cool if they added a ball joint like a shoulder that could maybe have 4 inputs for each direction

[@charlesolson2180]

Time to make a harpoon gun to shoot onto a plane to quickly grab your teammates and face off in teams of 4, I could see this being fun if say you all built tanks and had designated drop zones where the plane pilots(or automated pilots) from each side provided ground support, maybe dogfighting to see who gets to redeploy their teammates first, to supplement dogfighting you could have the ground teammates trying to fire missiles or other surface to air defense, this would be amazing for submarines, smaller planes, Robot Mechs, tanks, Humvees, motorcycles, hovercraft, bayblades(drone plane drop)(then it would really be like halo), cyber trucks, evolution style(I'd say this one might bring out the importance of stability, cushioning your fall, possiblity of developing an automatic counteracting system or pilot to handle uneven positioning(having two of servos(one for counteracting and one for control) and trust(one for counteracting and one for control) as I feel the gyro stabilizers are too inconsistent to reliably counteract so much weight without some help alleviating the weight distribution

[@charlesolson2180]

Thrust not trust, sorry for my autocorrect, talking about evolution, if your games can handle it I'd like to see more blocks and power cores to see higher complexity in your competitive styles

[@charlesolson2180]

I mean you could also just make detachable grabbing arms on either the ground or air vehicles as an easier alternative if you can't get flexible connection points to work reliably, I'm also thinking for the logic to be setup for counteracting the forces having altitude sensors on all four corners with like 10 different speed settings where they up/down gear like a transmission and each altitude sensor looks at each other and says if I'm less than most up gear, if I'm greater than all down gear, if I'm within acceptable range or equal to at least one other hold input except when less than two others, (if I'm greater two, but equal to one other than hold input), If I'm greater than all then hold input and down gear all once level/equal: if altitude drops at a certain rate of speed over a period of time after this then up gear and disable "If I'm greater than all then hold input and down gear all once level/equal", if trying to hold position and/or not moving in X or Y and drift is detected then slightly increase corresponding gear output where needed in phases to allow time to stabilize, if trying to hold position and no drift is detected in X or Y then detect for drift in Z and slightly down or up gear in increments of time longer than X or Y detection phase, if X, Y and Z positioning are stable then lock gearing and lock inputs to only be unlocked when told to do so ( this would allow for use in automation, when flying like a normal plane, when racing, when landing, ect. And everything after loading and calibration phase to be a lot more maneuverable). Extra points if you implement an overdrive for yaw, pitch and roll, if yaw overdrive activated keep counteracting input default and max in whatever direction as needed, if pitch overdrive activated keep counteracting input default with an increment added or subtracted so that all keep their different counteracting forces and inverted from and back almost like you're trying to make it flip(example: front wing pushes down while back wing pushes up to aim nose on plane downwards vice versa), if roll overdrive activated keep counteracting input default and add or subtract increment as to not max creating non-equal force distribution due to different counteracting forces with left and right side inverted(Example: left side up while right side down for clockwise), not needed but you could add logic to choose how pitch and roll overdrive interact with each other too

[@steeljawX]

Crank the difficulty up to 11. Make an Atlatl version. Same concept, but you're adding a rigid spear thrower that uses leverage to really launch it from the back end to get both power and distance out of it. See if collisions have drastically changed snowball and beachball collision physics. If they've softened up a bit, then perhapskis make a baseball series buster? Both a pitcher and a hitter. Then we can debate if Who's on first, What's on second, I-don't-know's on third...
