[@sepg5084]

What about going for the lowest stress without going overbudget? Like top 1%. I guess that's how a "real" engineer would do it

[@razielhamalakh9813]

That's what I was hoping he would do. Instead he still focused on the cost =/

[@harryknight7822]

Safety first

[@CaptainEasypants]

That's a rather civil challenge

[@Doom364Em3w]

I would love to see Matt try his hand at the lowest stress leaderboard

[@eclipseeffigy]

Would love to see RCE take a stab at this! However, jump world may not be the most fun levels to do low stress on as it can feel even more inconsistent and tweaky than jumps usual do 😅

You should do one where you simply go for lowest stress throughout the whole video, kinda like this, but a bit more focused on the stress being low

[@thebytespider]

I feel like that would induce stress

[@ajorsomething4935]

Yeah, I know I'm late but it was dissapointing he didn't keep refining for lower and lower stress

The old classic. The Boots and cats... Respect. - RCE Charity CD of all his classics coming soon to the merch store. The Bridge Trust charity are a worthy cause!

[@certainlynotmalo1.0.0]

From a physicists pov, the bell curve at 4:35 was rule 34 material. As soon as i saw it i was sure it wasn't even close to failing, the flow of force was just too good planned. Now that's engineering! Edit: watching it unfold was amazing, totally forgot that's a thing🤦‍♂️

[@SynSpiderz]

This video proves Matt may actually know what he is doing. He might have been an engineer at one time, especially odd given his usual architectural tendancies

[@kilikx1x]

I could see the Devs piggy backing off of this idea and adding in a daily or weekly challenge where you only get 1 attempt.

[@EEEEEEEE]

E

[@timehunter9467]

That abrupt ending caught me off guard 🤣 just “oh, poo” then silence was so odd.

[@stone9351]

I love the format! I always liked properly engineering a bridge to be safer better than engineering it to be cheaper to be honest. Would love to see some more of this!

[@redstonewolfx]

I watched part of this without audio, but thought I did. Turns out I just know you and your voice really well - I was picturing your voice in my head when reading captions, and although autocaptioning missed it, I knew you were going to say “boosh” repeatedly at 3:20. You’re very predictable and I love it

[@jasonkehr3727]

The amount of vehicles stuck on the tops of buildings in PB3 is just astonishing.

[@CanadaPlayz48]

I feel like Matt's gonna return to these levels next video only to trim the cost

[@SuprSBG]

Oh totally

as he should cant let aliensrock win (even tho its actually disgusting how badly aliensrock beats matts ass when he goes back and tried to beat his scores)

[@ariamh823]

I hope so

[@Cokodayo]

U should check the leaderboards for lowest stress too. It'd be interesting to see how people do that.

[@RealCivilEngineerGaming]

Gallery? Not possible unfortunately

[@Cokodayo]

@@RealCivilEngineerGaming well, that's unfortunate.

[@minheepark4896]

Well that’s dum

[@ducks_are_fun]

The devs should add that in as a feature

[@eclipseeffigy]

For those wondering: gallery can't sort by stress; it sorts by budget by making the budget part of the replay id. Stress isnt written into the replay id the same way, so no sort by stress. We'll get stress shown in the gallery next to price eventually. Then you can sort budget high to low, ✅️ under budget only, and find some cool low stress solves more easily. Pb3 devs are super active & working to improve the game 😄 they'll do what they can!

[@joshuajohnson9594]

It would be neat if there was a challenge mode in which you have to build bridges but if your bridge breaks, you are done. As a way to keep folks from memorizing the layouts have small tweaks to the physics of each level. Whoever builds the most successful bridges consecutively without having one break has the highest score. Really test the engineering acumen of polybridge players

[@superwaffle123]

PLEASE MAKE A BRIDGE COVER OF WAITING FOR LOVE LIKE “WHERE THERES A GAP, THERES A BRIDGE, AND ITS CABLE STAYED”

[@vistabuntuu]

3:52 I did NOT expect so many boots & cats 🤣 bravo!

[@yetispaghetti37]

You were definitely like "I gotta end this video so I'm gonna keep making this bridge as unstable as possible." at the end, lol. Love your videos tho! Just thought it was funny

[@MultiPaulinator]

"So, regarding your two foundational anchor points for this bridge you're proposing, one is an I-beam suspended by a crane and the other is a power pole?" "Mhm."

[@flamingfurball3316]

I think this is your best poly bridge video yet! The no breaking challenge added a great tension (no pun intended) and narrative to an otherwise really chill game, great work!

[@KanaiIle]

I suggested a "least stress playthriugh" two videos ago and now youre doing it. Thanks Matt! :D

[@kedryng8205]

He really needs to release a CD with all his songs. Love them lol

[@jackarmstrong7285]

Honestly I find that the lowest stress under budget challenge is a much more interesting way to play the game but that might just be me.

[@Squirl513]

It would be neat if there was a combined score leaderboard. Take budget then divide by max stress. A safer bridge might score better than some of the more sketchy submissions.

[@FoxSlyme]

I think you got it wrong - as the budget increases, the number increases, but as the max stress increases, the number decreases

[@Squirl513]

@FlyMaster_ good point. 👍

[@orionstokesweiss2344]

I'd love to have a video where him and his friend he competes against get 10 or 20 minutes for a level with the goal being the least combined percentile from stress and cost

[@andy4an]

lots of top players dont' share their solutions... but goseigen always does, so i keep getting dejavu when i see his bridges in your videos

I have a real-life bridge suggestion. There is a bridge that had a famous failure called the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. I'd like to see the current generation in Poly Bridge (the span that replaced the failed bridge)

[@charlesfranks1902]

A good challenge. Real Civil engineers need to be the first across the bridge in the company's semi truck(with a full load and on a windy day).

[@thisberichard]

I love me some quality public works, so I'm really pleased to see a video focusing on maximum stability within the budget! My favorite PolyBridge video setup to date.

[@Nils157]

It is going to get to the point where Matt spends more time on the song than the episode itself.. Maybe it already has!

[@Zidzsi]

Steve Terreberry would be proud of the Boots 'n Cats drum section :)

[@syntheticvocalist-p472]

This video was essentially Matt playing Farcle or Greed, but with bridges.

[@ThamiorFalan]

genuinely one of the best Matt engineering covers

[@broklond]

Love how he really ended the video right where the bridge broke

[@nurazidore]

NiffTea's solution in the end was a Teapot. How'd we miss that?! Shoutout to the NiffTea spirit

[@RandyFortier]

The notch in the sides is actually meant to be an anchor point. You just need to ensure that your joint is nestled into the bottom corner, to prevent any movement.

[@Magikarp_king]

Dab of hot sauce whenever a bridge breaks. I know we can't see you actually do it but it could be a fun change. No milk until the area is beat.

[@dirtydan4969]

“Looks like a Diglett in a hard hat” had me dying 😂

[@thefudger1945]

Giving yourself top 50% for both budget and stress combined would be cool. Like top 20% stress and top 29% budget is allowed, but 26% and 27% is a fail.

[@johanrojassoderman5590]

Thank you so much for the bridge building montages. They're unironically absolutely wonderful 🙏

[@noot3778]

"technically, it could be okay." the last words of a lot of engineers

[@OldManSmith712]

[@Demongodplayz]

Every time he does something risky I check the length of the video

[@irishvikings3656]

I think at the last bridge he purposely kept trimming the bridge down so it would break because he knew he already had enough content for a 20+min video. Either way, well done mate

[@cathygrandstaff1957]

I saw the video title and am frankly shocked the video is more than a minute long. Good job. On the other hand if the challenge were “if the vehicle falls the video ends” that would have been a really short video.

[@DarthRevan42]

I appreciate the fact that he's just saying "boots and cats" repeatedly

[@chiagozieekeke5676]

The best montage ever made 3:30

[@CyptronX]

You should do a video where you try to make the bridge as strong as possible for the budget, and try to get first on the lowest stress leaderboard. Like do multiple edits like normal to minimise stress percentage. Hope you see this!

[@PiOrUlzZz]

First time I watch some Polybridge stressed out 🤣 Good Job Bud!

[@5reasonstoedge]

Day 242:Dear Matt, I have a very good video idea Gather all your editors and make them all have 3 chances to make the cheapest,best and most efficient bridge, or the best score on any motorway game(e.g AQR, that one train game, ect...), or who make the longest and most efficient shapes.And see who is the best editor and is worthy of the rank of a classified engineering. From me.

[@lordblobfish1411]

we heard you doing "boots and cats" in the background of that montage, don't think we couldn't!
