Matt not making the rotation point coincident with the center of mass for hundreds of seconds is enough to make a Real Mechanical Engineer cry

[@Taolan8472]

Not to mention how many bridges he could have made smaller if he'd just made his arches, y'know, *arches* instead of squiggly lines.

[@AMan-xz7tx]

to be fair, he's a CIVIL engineer, not a mechanical one

[@Slaaan]

@@Taolan8472Doesn't he know there is strength in arches?

[@DavidGuild]

He's a civil engineer, they're basically architects.

[@popinjayjunior7698]

Didnt he used to engineer bridges for a living?

[@gui1palmieri]

Man, I still can't believe that a very strong shaped island exists

[@emojiftw7333]

i might be the pie 😳

[@TrevorD19]

I laughed so hard

[@TimbavatiLion]

We're lucky it is uninhabited. If there was a kingdom on it, it would already rule the world by now.

[@TrevorD19]

@@TimbavatiLion just sent the coordinates to my dad

[@Alceste_]

@@TimbavatiLion Meh, probably its state office would be filled with dickheads as usual and not accomplish anything, despite the extra strength.

[@kevinbihari]

you had me with the coordinates. fair play

[@Thoran666]

I saw the car flip level and instantly knew this was going to be interesting. RCE and hydraulics behave like water and oil, they don't mix easily.

[@cullly]

But when they do, you get amazing emulsions like Mayonnaise.

[@RhombonianKnight]

It's never a dull day when I see RCE beat Tyler's score and the back pages of the board, including Alan, make good use of the strongest shape.

[@baystated]

One day, when RCE has little engineerinos toddling around the house, he will be willing to splurge a little. "Okay fine RCE Junior, you can have another helping of spadderdock and some safety railings."

[@monad_tcp]

RCE mean Real Child Engineer Junior

[@Zii0N]

Very rarely does a KZbin video have everything... but the incredible weekly challenge, the Tyler/RCE beef, the mid video Carmen San Diego style knob hunting, and sending it home with the most relevant Foo Fighters cover of our time! What a ride..

[@Slimerr]

I was confused why this was a long episode compared to normal… Then the weekly revealed itself.

[@tuckerpedersen5469]

Ngl editor got me with "please let this be a normal field trip." Actually made me laugh out loud in the middle of work 😂

[@GwilsonDrums]

The Wallace and gromit cheese one got me as well

[@JohnCooper-gm6mn]

Matt: "I do talk some bollocks sometimes." Correction, you talk *strongest shape* sometimes. PS. The song was ballin'.

[@CainXVII]

If that's the strongest shape then I feel like we have to rethink how we build trusses

[@firnagon7395]

You killed me with: "That's not really an achievement" :D

[@kmet102]

That's a STRONG island. Wonder if it has banana trees?

[@smellysoysauce]

I may have missed RCE doing this already, but I would love to see RCE do low stress leaderboards. I think he can better use his engineering skills to make some crazy nice BILFS. Aliensrock started doing this recently so you can even compete with him.

[@semajniomet981]

I personally hope that Matt doesn't do that. Tyler already has enough competition. Tyler fan here, in case you didn't notice.

[@nivypoison]

I love the Magic School Bus reference, loved that show as a kid 🤣🤣

[@TheOrichalcon]

You should be careful not to dox yourself by showing the island where you live like that, RCE. 😄

[@bredsheeran2897]

Matt I agree with your editor on the first one, you can’t call the lowest budget similar when it is $80,000 dollars cheaper

[@Tyuf_]

the editors calling Matt out will never not be funny

[@-chickycarlos]

The Foo Fighters engineering time was extremely awesome!!!

[@astatine3871]

Ikr!

[@eclipseeffigy]

I'm proud of you for beating this hydraulic weekly on your own, RCE! No matter if it was a bit of a bumpy process. 😂 do look at the stress% when at high budget in the gallery, you undersold windstill's designs a fair bit there...!

[@TheKrausenKid]

Niff Tea is on the strongest island

[@niffTea]

sshhhhh im hiding

[@gwalla]

"How to let RCE know about this island I found in Google Earth? Oh of course, spell out the coordinates in building materials in a Poly Bridge level, duh!"

[@rlas]

Im obsessed with the gallery views all the times. Such creativity and your effort to not say the word 😂

[@NidraxGaming]

He struggles with those hydraulics like a total architect

[@Astraeus..]

I'm convinced that whoever is coming up with these weeklies has a personal grudge against RCE for all the dongs in the replay gallery :P

[@DoginSuit]

Alan’s solutions are the best

[@germinator81]

I actually burst into laughter when he plugged in the coordinates.

[@duncanchin]

That coordinate Easter Egg is so cool 😂

[@paulkepshire5056]

So you're telling me (in Poly Bridge 3) it's all about the "angle of your dangle", innit?

[@frankfeltes7324]

Thank you, editor/Matt for the Wallace and Gromit clip lol

[@kranky069]

RCE always completes the bridge of my day

[@EnduroPo30]

I love how civil engineers always struggle with movement. Cheers from a Mechanical engineer 😂

[@thebytespider]

I think on that weekly @aliensrock has you beat. That man with hydraulic contraptions is something else

[@Coralalal]

As I drove through the valley of the shadow of death, I took a look at my Bugatti and realized there's nothing left! Cause I've been driving and crashing so long that everyone thinks that my mind is gone. "I shall archive this pristine artifact in my garage." I decided. As I traveled homeward, I came across what seemed to be a "gang" in an alleyway. They were about to blow up a beautiful, modern stylized sky - blue, automobile of the riches, none other than a Bugatti! But alas, it wasn't my problem, so I kept driving along.

[@EganCrawford.]

My day always gets instantly better when RCE posts

[@kevinkarpovs7597]

You love it when rce posts about murdering children in a video game

[@EganCrawford.]

@@kevinkarpovs7597 absolutely 😂

[@shynnynn]

lol that magic school bus part had me dying. that was too funny

[@kaz49]

I just watched your 100k subs special for that sweet music at the beginning, but then I realized "man, Matt was super chill back then" And now idk if I like now Matt or chill Matt more

[@KomalPatel]

The editor is god 😂

[@kokilimonke]

Tyler is definitely the better engineer. The weekly level proved that clearly.

[@connercronin3832]

Just called not being good at hydraulics rce mat beats him at everything else

[@MagiSwag]

​@connercronin3832 Nah man, Tyler has much better instincts in this game. He knows which pieces are under tension/compression and which are stabilizers. Matt regularly does trial and error, removing random pieces to see what works.

[@palfly1864]

ah yes, being good at bridge game says so much about your engineering knowledge

[@kokilimonke]

@@palfly1864 ohhh yes. Matt has even started it several times. "this is harder than my engineer exam"

[@Dragongaga]

15:00 putting a spring into a truss is such an architect thing to do. You should know that this essentially prevents the truss from working as intended

[@_letstartariot]

‘Prioritising budget over the lives of innocent children’ sounds like the name of a policy made by a hospital administration in the USA.

[@jasonjazzz5]

Tyler should get a good chuckle at your attempt at the weekly level

[@xenos203]

Ah yes, thought the same 🤣

[@executable3]

I know it's an older title but you should give Opus Magnum a try. It's a puzzle game where you create contraptions to assemble elements. I reckon your solutions could be very interesting.

[@ZeKnife]

Infinifactory is another really good engineering game by the same developer

[@fellknight]

23:10 congratualtions sir, you win

[@SemberAlistair]

23:35 was the biggest brain move I have ever seen

[@Homerak]

Matt built that whole arch in the 1st level... and then pretty much didn't use it. His solution could actually be A LOT cheaper if he got rid of it.

[@shayes.x]

One day he might make Tyler use 1% of his power.

[@Jump3RPictur3s]

Niff Tea does not sponsor spring solutions... They only sponsor winter, summer and autumn solutions...

[@niffTea]

yea spring is for going out IRL 🙃

That's why I like to watch both of them. That said, I skipped through about half the hydraulics level 😂

I noticed Niftea hasn't shown up in the last epsiode before Matt said anything and I noticed here again. i hope they're alright

You are the only gaming channel I watch. I thoroughly enjoy your content! Cheers

[@tonyhinderman]

the "whats that?" bit got me cackling

[@Ffourteen]

Watching an "engineer" replace steel with wood until a bridge is just strong enough to let one bus pass makes so glad I don't commute anymore.

[@zacharygrouwinkel1534]

On the first spring level I was calling Matt such an architect for not using his remaining road piece to get a road node above the star

[@devel0p_922]

Cutter: Make a "simular to mine"- compilation he is always saying it when it looks so different hahah

[@robinvik1]

I day may come when the courage of architects fails, when Matt actually learns to use hydraulics, BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY!

[@KUSHxKiNG]

I was wondering why this was a 30 minute video and I got my answer watching you struggle with that hydraulic level🤣🤣🤣

[@strawberrylemonadelioness]

I love Bridge Building games but I suck at them, so its fun to watch people play them.

[@Athaeus]

Having watched Aliensrock do actual maths and proper calculations when making good designs, and then watching RCE wing it and failing to even make even curves for arches to share the stress properly, makes me wonder if RCE really is a civil engineer.

[@ReX-xt2q]

The amount of copium consuming this episode. But nice seeing you complete it.

[@Zelinkokitsune]

It's getting to the point where I'm pretty sure Matt may need an intervention with how much he's huffing

[@wafwaf16]

Knowing how Aliensrock did it first and then watching this, makes me see how smart tyler is…

[@Gh3ttoboy]

Matt doesnt want to take the time to learn hydraulics, tyler uses actual math to figure thr hydraulics out, matt seems to be more of an architect then an engineer to me right now 😜

[@JosiahBradley]

Yeah it's actually why I watch this channel to see puzzle master versus day job lol. But I do enjoy their friendship being completely different backgrounds. It's a fun rivalry.

Where is nifftea?! Is he safe? Is he alright?!?

[@niffTea]

yea im ok thanks for asking 💜

[@annabelrose6420]

A right side up pentagram (the point of the star is at the top) is a symbol of protection not worshiping or summoning the upside-down pentagram (the point is at the bottom) would be your "dark magic" and even then most rituals don't work as almost no one knows how to do them properly and most witches are healers using plants and herbs that's why people called them witch doctors

[@RexDex753]

Matt please try out the update 5 experimental for Timberborn, I don’t know if you’re up for it!

[@IronOre33]

At 13:27 if you’re wondering what that said, its “RCE mic glitch”

[@onepixelline]

you saying that your solution was similar to those high budget low stress solutions is painful 💀

[@onepixelline]

also you should try to do the next world competing for low stress, i've done that world low stress and its a very fun one P.S. if you want to find low stress bridges in the gallery sort by highest budget,. under budget wins only and look at the stress amt in the preview

"We beat Tyler already." The lowest of low bars to step over.

When Tyler actually tries instead of taking the first "under half budget" solution he gets, he's fully capable of taking 1st in the world. Matt can only beat 0.1% of Tyler's full power.

[@rashido_grey]

@@KCzz15 it's okay to be a fanboy and still be wrong. Cheers :)

[@KCzz15]

@@rashido_grey I mean what I've said is pretty quickly verifiable by watching his videos, he has entire videos dedicated to taking 1st place on the leaderboard when a level takes his fancy.
