What other games could I play? I'm looking to branch out a little.

[@enoch7775]

You should play raft, you'd probaly design like some god tier boat in that game

[@emmalent1524]

Maybe check out satisfactory. There is a bunch of room for creativity in that game.

[@christophkalensky8584]

You could try something like stormworks or scrap mechanics, besiege or trailmakers

[@stefanobertolotti2555]

Good video, I had been waiting for someone to do something like this in Poly Bridge. The strandbeest are amazing creations, but they work so well because of the proportion of their legs. There are 13 specific numbers that make their motion. I hope you will read this and implement those in your "machine".

[@ReidCaptain]

I'm going to have to look into that, I can see where these "numbers" come into play. I got pretty lucky that the dimensions I picked happened to work out haha. Thanks for the comment!

make a draw bridge that disassembles and reassembles its self make a deployable bridge that is carried by the car (so the bridge is on the car, gets driven to the river, and then deploys, allowing the car to safely cross)

[@wills9487]

You can make the leg movement more complicated by adding more parralelgrams, it would be a challenge to tune a leg using 3+ parralelgrams so you can reduce the number of legs.

[@Dmrgamingdoesgames]

I love that even though this is useless im learning so much about mechanics of the game thatll actually improve my bridge

[@Roman6025]

@@alexismandelias yeah sure but its an at least 1h video

[@SimpleAmadeus]

It might be possible to make a continuous hydraulic engine by using multiple weights (detaching and lifted back up during hydraulic phases) to continue the movement during the moments when the hydraulics are paused.

Pretty sure you can use a cam and slider to create continuous motion, just make the adjacent support to the force a spring to avoid an infinite force situation

Alright, that's kinda brilliant. Just tried it out, and it isn't perfect, but it is near continuous.

[@7.59-fmclosed7]

Now let's make sentient creatures in Poly Bridge

[@Llohr]

The problem with the four and five leg versions was that you had all of the legs out of sync with each other. All you need is two pairs of alternating legs, say 1-3 and 2-4, with each leg exactly in sync with its paired leg, and with the one pair synced exactly opposite the other pair. That way you always have two legs on the ground, spaced so that the whole machine is supported and can't tip over. If the balance is iffy, just extend the space in the middle so that the machine essentially has two legs at each end, and thus at any given time there's one leg at each end touching the ground.

[@ReidCaptain]

Yep! Ended up finding that out in a very roundabout way, but that's exactly it.
