I immediately had 2 thoughts on this update. The first was "can you make a surfboard?" And the second was "could you make a vehicle that has wings to produce lift, but uses sails to propel you forward and help you glide around. Not a plane, but more like a giant kite glider thing"

[@1mariomaniac]

You probably could, with enough lift and large enough sails you could probably even make a sail powered plane, as impractical as that would be.

When sailing smaller boats you lean out the boat to equal the sails, maybe put weights on the end of a piston at the level of buoyancy and the piston on a servo to counter the force f the sails

[@lbgreviews]

He misread it as rests, that's why

[@noahra8430]

I think trailmakers should add ion storms which fly around following the wind, and if they hit you, disable your engines and blow your boat around, that way sails have a use. Also I don't think you should be able to repair on water. It's useful, but takes away all of the fear of treacherous waters.

[@Jack_Wolfe]

18:12 With real boats, the part of the boat in the water is more like a large rudder/wing, that dictates where the winds pressure is conducted to. Most of the time more sails also means more boat.

[@notonlyhuman6073]

Super excited for this campaign! And can't wait to see sail-powered cars and sail-powered planes!

[@pawloes6851]

Go to the biggest waves and see how big they are (corner of the map)

[@Indo_Entertainment]

So far, since I’ve only seen one, the underwater creatures look amazing. Would love to see you build a sub and drive up next to one. 😁

[@daanoffline5716]

The fishes are now 3d and the whales are a littke bigger, i haven't seen more myself but there might be some, the vortex is obviously there too

[@Tawre007]

Well the main difference between sails and engines is toggling for different speeds without you driving it, speed is variable for sails and depend on angle of sail against a wind. So, technically you can it drive itself with little steering.

[@kingquokka1934]

Use the triangular sails for going diagonally into the wind and side-on to it, they shouldn’t push u over as much, and if u angle them right, u should go fast upwind. Idk if this is how the game works, but that’s my experience from sailing irl. Please like so he can see, this could be useful.

[@Helix142]

honestly would be pretty interesting to see plane builds using the sails

[@Speedy-Aussie]

I wish in like other maps you could enable and alter settings so you could have like wind and waves in the creative maps

[@Loooom555]

If anyone sees this, just know that sails don’t shine when used on water, but shine when used in place of wings, honestly they might have made wings obsolete

[@chubbmaster6164]

this update was the update we never knew we needed but now want

[@ShadowSleeper33]

They should only let the player use the powered propulsion options after they progress in this world. So at the starting you are forced to use the sails making them more useful.

[@mrtophatcat6473]

as someone who has sailed the sails should be more straight so only on a slight curve I recommend putting the sails on a rotor (spin point I forgot the name) so you can change the angle depending on the wind.

[@InfiniXCat]

Rotating servo Or a helicopter engine Im getting halicopter halicopter vibes

[@rip1597]

Idea - make a plane utilizing sails in stead of wings, it'll turn out to be like a steam-punk airship, could be cool! (Because I assume they are functional wings, just, they have physics varying their use) Also love that you use your Catarinth songs in your videos sometimes, they are truly great songs

[@philipdean3688]

You should TOTALLY redo breaking the sound barrier in water now that we have the water update it could be possible now.

[@Dragonorder18]

Seeing that Viking Island there, I wanted to say, "Welcome to Berk!" I hope Scrapman will have some good luck making a hybrid sort of vehicle to help navigate around. Clearly he's gonna need to do some diving at times too.

[@MrLucky5001]

I wonder if you can make gliders using sails. maybe this could be a Multiplayer Monday idea.

[@TheMasterofBlu]

You can totally make gliders using sails. I've found they hover better than regular wings but lose momentum faster. I made a plane glide with thrusters to use it. When not using them, it just kinda stops and very slowly floats down, kinda like if you have enough gimbal thrusters to almost stay level, but not. Granted the thing has more sails than actual blocks soooo....

[@thenoobinside9915]

it would be cool if there was a fuel mechanic, like scrap mechanic survival, where you cant use engines if you have no gas, that would make the sails more useful

[@tewtiesmc]

I have a very interesting idea. A sail-powered plane. You have done jet-powered planes, you have done cannon-powered planes, but have you done a sail-powered plane?

[@kruth6663]

Only when I try to build a sailboat in this expansion did I realize for the first time how complicated sailboats are. You need to manage the rotation of the sail and the rudder at the same time just to move forward and it depends on the current wind direction. Yet people figured out how to sail against the wind hundreds of years ago.... amazing.

[@depoid]

I think they changed electromagnets to tractor beams because it doesn’t make sense to pick up wood with a magnet.

[@codybrought5722]

Does it make any more sense to pick up a tractor with a beam? Didn’t think so

[@depoid]

Well no, but aliens can do what they want

[@InfiniXCat]

Where's the tractor action in this?

[@depoid]

@InfiniXCat in movies aliens are often depicted abducting cows and making crop circles, so would it be a stretch to assume that they pick up other farm things?

[@rexracer4380]

I want to know if they made the triangle sails work as they do in real life. Just as you experienced, square sails do not let you sail without any portion of the wind's vector being the same as the direction of travel. Triangle sails didn't provide as much pushing power as you experienced, but they can provide forward movement even slightly into a headwind. Old sail boats used a trick called tacking to sail headwind. Wikipedia has a good article called "Sailing into the Wind" if you want more details.

[@tryz0r]

The devs have outdid themselves with this update

[@fox_zgamer2889]

19:09 they can help you by so much, when you are just a boat without any sails the wind can knock you around. OR when in high wind areas you can go much faster (from what I'm guessing)

[@Sebe_r35]

This expansion is soooo cool 😱

[@stevepittman3770]

This was a total surprise, I had no idea it was coming and I love it. I have played a few hours of it myself now and explored the entire map, and it turns out a really well-balanced (preferably stabilized) helicopter is pretty much required for a lot of the pieces so it's not all just boats. In fact the closer you go to the corners/edges the more intense the waves and wind get, so boats are a really hard to use in those areas. I do love the new water/boat mechanics and the new blocks though, and I am totally going to make an excessively large sailboat for just cruising around. I hope they add wind to other maps too.

For a Trailmakers multiplayer video, you could do a no power core race with the sails. It could potentially work for both land and water races.

[@edgemike3601]

19:16 Scrapman: The propellers are just easier Scrapman 1 second later: Almost flips

[@TheJerseyNinja]

There’s some pretty specific physics involved with sails in order to sail against the wind. It’s not possible to sail directly into the wind, you’d need to go at an angle and using the sails as an air foil to create a pressure difference it allows the boat to sail forward by redirecting the net force enough to push you forward

[@thetuanschannel4113]

19:04 I think the sails would be a very good aesthetic feature where it may not do much on functionality but be very good for aesthetic purposes

[@pugsfrlife2331]

because there is these new stuff, u should make pirate ships and get some friends to fight them. (You can only use sails for power)

[@andreibica6516]

While it may not be the most efficient, I think a NOMAD style campain would be cool. Like making a huge sail-boat with dockings for a car and a plane(and maybe a smaller boat).

[@coconut_dr9194]

irl you always have the sails facing a bit forwards so that you get pushed forward even when the wind is from the side. if you hada small boat tho you could do somthing i only know in swedish "kryssa" and thats when you go from side to side so youre always in the wind but sstill going forward

[@bacamarc97]

For the double sail idea, have them open out from eachother , and have each side independently controlled

[@rustedgaming8224]

Kinda curious how viable a helicopter would be on this campaign. Would make for a fairly good scouting vehicle and possibly even a bit of a salvage vehicle as well if it can handle the wind.

[@xpen2007]

I tried it, the wind is really somewhat of an issue for delicate maneuvers, but with a good Heli build, it's manageable. I just wish there would be more land mass. The Islands are quite vertical and not too much fun to drive on.

[@theguy7999]

17:51, real sailboats have a centerboard, which is a board that goes in the middle of the boat and stops the boat from drifting.

[@hdlmonkey4296]

If you get a plane and fly around the whole map, you could see where everything is on the map. Just an idea. You make amazing videos.

[@justadood5483]

Due to the large waves it looks like a much larger zhip would be needed that can handle the massive waves nicely. Possibly you could make it with a helipad or some kind or crane.

[@adicsbtw]

I think that for a sailboat to be effective, you actually don't want to go directly with the wind. Assuming that the game's physics are realistic, you want to go at an angle to the wind to get the most speed possible. Also, you need to make good use of aerodynamics and rudder steering in order to go in the opposite direction of the wind, but it is possible. It would be a pretty big undertaking to make an effective sailboat, but I think it would be really interesting to see

[@2008toyota_corolla]

you should make a seaplane with a cargo bay (maybe a VTOL if you can) and a huge boat (bigger=easier to control in high seas) with a crane for picking up artifacts

I cannot express fully how much I want you to explore this! I don't pkay this, but watching is like 2nd best. Id love to see some sort of speed boat as well. New series woooooo! Day 11 of asking scrapman to build a piston engine car.

[@MrMattkid]

My thought is that the sails will be much more useful on a much larger craft. I'm thinking like a massive galley. With space I side as a hold for multiple relics. My idea is that you use the galley to traverse the seas and smaller vehicles for salvaging the relics. Like treasure hunting crews would except they use more modern ships than a galley, but close enough. I don't know if it'll let ya spawn in more than one vehicle though, kinda hinges on that.

[@tankertont]

If you want a really good boat, you might look for inspiration IRL. I think that in order to go against the wind you need a triangular sail, but I'm no expert.

[@ndr2190]

You should build a big container ship that can transport these things. I think it would be cool and also a cool defense against gigantic waves. ;) I hope you see this Scrapman

[@c4lazer920]

Since the sail don’t cost a power core they can be used to do challenges or just for the extra adventure

[@Frogly7]

You should try a hydrofoil! In real life they would counter the waves for a smooth ride so I wonder if it would be the same in trailmakers

[@EpsilonRosePersonal]

Real modern, triangular, sails work more like wings, rather than the bags of cloth we often like to picture. That means they work best with wind moving rapidly over their surface, rather than pushing them from behind. I don't know if that's how they work in Trailmakers, but it might be worth checking. In terms of things I'd like to see, I'd be interested in the effects of horizontal sails, on both powered and non-powered vehicles, especially if the triangular sails are designed to work like modern sails. I'm also a big fan of hydrofoils and I'd love to see if you can recreate a catamaran of flying moth (boat). Either design would certainly go faster than your current galleon and, provided they work correctly, might offer an advantage for sails over outboard motors, since they wouldn't require a propeller that stays in the water.

[@liamgriffin3196]

i understand that resistance physics are super difficult however they are necessary for up wind sailing

[@samanthacarfi1021]

with the starter boat, you did what i did with it by adding dragon engines and having 3 propellers

[@Nevir202]

Now the real question. can you put sails on a plane and use the wind to propel yourself? It wouldn't make any RL sense, but depending on how its coded, may still work.
