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.

[@prololgh1]

There's a bug thing you can build which uses the old explosive cannon that sends them with near 0 bullet drop its kinda like this I would love to see him work that in to a plane it would be cool and good for ground fights and dog fights

[@SunilNmb]

You know what will be a nice addition? A sort of bearing or a servo that turns based on the lock on on enemies and has its own reticle. So you can use that to make your own awesome weapons

[@Ryno-jn9kv]

Yeah that would be a really good idea too bad stuff like that doesn't exist in the game yet

[@jacobyouknowwho]

@@Ryno-jn9kv Key word "yet"

[@bicuswang5149]

sorry to say this but that will hardly work, since the lock on mechanism actually accounts for the weapon's bullet speed and bullet drop. so the "Custom aiming reticle" needs to have tons of parameters for it to work at all.

[@nikkiofthevalley]

@@bicuswang5149 ... All it needs is 2 parameters: Bullet drop in -seconds/meter- meters/second^2 and bullet speed in meters/second.. And if you want it to point straight at the target, you can have either a checkbox for that or just set the bullet drop to 0 and the bullet speed to a really big number. And if you add a visualization of the predicted trajectory in build mode, then even if you don't exactly know what the values are, you can estimate them by guessing and checking the trajectory display vs the actual trajectory of the projectile.

[@pandapip1]

@@nikkiofthevalley Wouldn't bullet drop be measured in m/s^2 (i.e. acceleration?)

[@RecycleBin26]

If I was a circus performer, I'd never imagine myself playing a game that requires extreme dedication to turn a bomb into a high-speed linear projectile. However, this guy does.

You should combine the pistons with the infinite bomber so you can shoot infinitely forward.

Hi Reed

[@justyouraveragenerd5152]

I feel like you can fix the shaking by adding 2 more bomb guns so they cancel eachother out by having force applied to both sides of the plane at the same time

[@DanielMether]

With the way those pistons yank the jet around, I wonder if you could use that to make an aircraft that can "juke turn" making it extremely difficult to shoot down.

[@celestialpie3712]

Ive been watching your vids everyday for years now, and this may be my favorite concepts of all time. Amazing work scrap man, love the vids.

[@notonlyhuman6073]

This was super dope, and wildly successful!! A possible improvement to mitigate the recoil shake during firing is to make both sets of guns/bombs? fire at the same time. Equal force on both side of the plane.

[@mstenbeck]

You could also counteract the recoil from left and right if you added a second set of guns but had them fire at the same time but on opposite wings.

[@TheVerySleepyCalmGuy]

[@WlDoWMaK3R]

You can make the rockets from the rocket launcher go super fast using the pistons. Edit: another way to stabilize the plane when using piston launchers is to add a piston that fires backwards at the same time as the front, and add the proper weight.

Very nice Scrapman, you should put 0.03 on the bomb bays since that is the time it takes for the piston to extend. I made an artillery gunship using piston cannons, check it out. I will take on your idea on using bomb bays too.

[@user-pj7qo2mg7t]

does it work correctly for you? can you write the characteristics of the modules? I have a problem with the second bomb that just falls.

[@LetistanCountry]

Scrap man should invite his friends to use his new boom tube and they all use his design but they make their own vehicles. That would be an epic battle.

[@davisandthebagels1634]

ScrapMan: im gonna make a bomb... that travels like a bullet Missiles: Am i a joke to you?

[@MrPudelNudel]

This works so much better on a plain than on a car, i built something similar to this but on a buggy after your last try for vertical bomb launching, but didnt know the trick with the -100 speed, so the bombs drop just like 50 meters in front of the vehicle, i could not figure out how to improve that so i just themed the buggy so it at least looks like it is supposed to be driving through the explosions. 😅

[@bonesciencegaming3863]

Scrapman, you could’ve just used missles, but you somehow made your own! Amazing work

[@dinoeebastian]

a minor fix for the shaking side to side when you fire could be to put identical pistons on the opposite side of the vehicle to counter the force sort of like how a helicopter has a second rotor moving opposite to the other rotor

[@Dannoprime]

very cool idea i think i could incoroporate this as like a chaff functionality, kind of reminds me of like an auto grenade launcher too that you'd find on APC's

[@Jeferson.correia]

Wow, awsome vídeo scrapman. I love your trailmakers vídeos. Could do the star Fox ar wing?

[@sggsquadpresents]

The fact that the bomb bays were moving opposite of each other was what caused the spin

[@jesmcdevlin3116]

I'd love to see this man try and take on From The Depths. :) See what madness he can make there.

[@kjuu_strangersouth4810]

The fisrt version of your bomb shooting plane where it twitched out is perfect for the weirdest evasive maneuvers since the one time you did it you switched from facing forward to facing left ( 13:48 ) just remove the bombs and you have an automatic movement cancelling dodge that will confuse other players and AI AA

[@lucasriddle3431]

Warning: it will also confuse the pilot.

[@sagy101]

One of your coolest ideas

[@crated_]

Not sure if you did this after seeing it on discord, but this video is appreciated

[@vladenache6147]

I think the solution to make that plane perfect is to add 2 more piston bomb bays that counter the effects of the first 2. So you got basically 2 pistons going forward and backwards, one on each side.

[@theonlypotato7064]

At 12:38 , the firing delay reminds me of the Allies' Pacifier FAV (Forward Artillery Vehicle) from Command and Conquer Red Alert 3's Uprising DLC, it even has a similar bullet drop and spread now that I mention it. That design could make for some interesting artillery challenges.

[@Zero-Point-nx4rm]

Now that I listen to it again, it even has the same firing sound (only lower pitched than the Pacifier FAV)

[@theadvancedorange2355]

this was amazing

[@Nevir202]

LOL when he started trying to fire, the plane was doing a "Last Starfighter" death blossom maneuver lol.

[@Peekofwar]

A very simple improvement would be to add another logic gate that holds down the trigger for the gates and bomb bays until all bombs have fired. This eliminates needing to hold down the trigger.

[@YeetNuggets]

A competition where you have to make custom weapons (like this bomb gun in this video) and fight against each other would be pretty cool I think.

[@Warranty_Droid]

i would love to see this with two on each side, it might fix the imbalance of force put off by the 1-2-1-2 jabbing pattern

[@kogapayne630]

So if you run the double cannons on one side and mirror that on the other ,that should negate the jerking . The momentum would switch to a forward backward momentum only

[@robocat002]

this the stuff, amazing idea

[@redstone8070]

Scrapman *finds out it is difficult to hit a speeder with a bomb, cause is speeds up each time you are above it* Also Scrapman : I am gonna break the game and turn bombs into bullets to shoot the speeder

[@ShawnF6FHellcat]

Not gonna lie, I thought that there was no chance of that working. Now I'm curious if you could add more pistons and make them launch faster.

[@sweetguy3530]

you gotta use this in one of your next battles with the others you would make fun challenges with

[@benfletcher8100]

My first thought once you got pistons to work with yeeting them was to just have 4 pistons that go off one at a time with each bomb

[@Demonic_02]

I wanna see this idea done again but tilt the Launchers slightly back to give a little more distance to them

[@polishane8837]

[@johncage5368]

Well done!

[@ccaaccttuuss]

Such a good idea

[@steeljawX]

I mean, you can try to do this, or you can use the system they game already gave you which they named "rockets". But you seem to not quite grasp that pistons in TrailMakers are flimsy and violent movements make inertial wobbles happen. So what's happening is you're extending the pistons so fast that by the time the first bomb is released, the bay is in some kind of wibble at the end. But it's a very high speed, small distance, violent wibble. So the first bomb is being imparted the random velocity of that wibble, but the proceeding bombs are not. You'd need to pulse the pistons 4 times a second to get some kind of consistent non-standard result, but it'd always be random due to those violent wibble-wobbles.
