[@archer111000]

I know you start every video saying “hello fellow engineers,” but I just got news this morning that I passed my professional engineer license exam! It’s true! Look at me, I’m a fellow engineer now!

[@burner8959]

I prefer to go with "an engineer in-training" title to be more accurate. lol

[@NickSmith-zm4kw]

hello fellow engineer!

Congrats! 👏

[@walterhartwellwhite7324]

congrats man. also my real name is Archer so i like your username

[@Enola_Straight]

Finally... Matt being a real civil engineer that cares more about safety than profit

[@tommangan7]

He just needs to go for minimum stress instead of budget still, would be such an interesting set of tweaks different to his other videos. Way more engineery, might have to drop the video ending with a break though 😅

[@Spacccee]

I want to see him be an engineer for once

[@Blobbo-uh]

For the "safety first" video, I think you have to look at the gallery sorted by stress, not budget

[@RealCivilEngineerGaming]

Not an option sadly

[@DomenBremecXCVI]

@@RealCivilEngineerGaming Well, that's... stressful... Or not, I guess

[@nsa1905]

22:12 gotta love how Matt just kept going and completely defeated the whole purpose of the video RCE, whether Real Civil Engineer, or Real Crazy Entertainer... Can't wait to see more videos like this one! Well... All of his videos are like this in some way or another... So CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE VIDEO-

[@thisberichard]

Love the no breaks videos. I only wish we could focus on minimizing stress within the budget instead of minimizing budget without breaking.

[@Mimi.1001]

Yeah, Matt seems to do a pretty straight bridge across with tons of steel support at first (supposedly the lowest stress one might imagine) and then optimizes the same solution for budget by removing parts a lot of the time. I guess that's just how you play the game, but I feel like lowest stress isn't actually that easy to achieve. Materials have their own weight in this game, and using lots of steel kinda makes the bridge itself heavier. This usually doesn't break a bridge, but the stress is probably a bit higher than it needs to. Using say, an arch, might not only save budget, but also create a much more stable bridge I think (if said arch isn't the bare minimum in terms of support). I'd love for him to actually try minimizing stress for one, it might be a nice opportunity to compare many different bridge types and test their efficiency (like budget/"stress" ratio).

[@kittycatpilot]

Same, I wanna see more RCE at the top of the stress leaderboard rather than the budget one.

[@johndorian4078]

agreed

[@ravenbloom6732]

Agreed. I've been yelling at my laptop screen whenever he tries to do that because it feels like he's trying to throw away the point of the video. I wish he could just focus on minimising the stress for the unbreaking videos and then come back at a later video to see how he could minimise budget, because it's a completely different video type.

[@DavidGuild]

17:58 That's Tyler's bridge! Well I mean it's more a swing, but whatever. I knew it looked familiar.

They should setup a "hard core mode" challenge where you have to go through an entire set of bridges with no breaks (ever), under budget. Then have a leaderboard for the entire set so we can see who was able to complete the challenge with the lowest budget. People may have to start doing (_shudder_) maths to figure out what is reasonable to even attempt.

[@EEEEEEEE]

[@Youtubegotridofmyhandle]

Video actually ends at about 12:09

[@Squirl513]

There should be a leader board that combines budget and stress. Something like Budget * 1.XX (XX=stress) Then you can make the decision if making it cheaper is worth the risk.

[@kianandtheviolin]

Well that’s a good idea other than that if you took a moment to look at the calculation you would realise it’s not quite right... It should be (cost/budget)/0.[stress].

[@Squirl513]

@kianandtheviolin I don't agree with your assessment since lower scores are better for both cost and stress. If two players both spent 5000 but player A had 42 stress and player B had 69 stress. Player A would score 7100. Player B would score 8450. Player A has lowest score and wins.

[@killerbee.13]

​@@kianandtheviolindividing by the max budget would change the absolute numbers, but wouldn't affect the leaderboard rankings, since the budget is a constant on any particular level. I'm pretty sure the OP meant cost and not max budget. Adding 1 to the stress wouldn't make a difference either unless someone manages to get 0% stress, but you may as well include it. But a simpler formula that would probably work fine would be cost * (1-stress).

[@killerbee.13]

@@Squirl513 I think I hadn't seen your comment when I posted but you're right and my formula wouldn't work either. I clearly got confused and also must've misread the OP, and the mobile UI makes it difficult to read messages you're replying to. Cost * stress is fine. I don't think it should be 1+stress because stress is the more important quantity and shouldn't have its impact on the score diminished.

[@ag4765]

Matt, you should try that "you break you lose" challenge but everytime you completed a level, you must do the next level 500$ under budget and it increases every level

[@Arripare]

That "Ah!" at 20:39 sounds really strong and efficient.

[@5reasonstoedge]

Day 249: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.

[@Erik-Hi504]

3:45 the editor note was hilarous also RCE missed Alan

[@andreamaral9725]

They have to add more options in the gallery, so you can sort by stress.

[@bernard832]

Go for the top of the stress leaderboard, ignore the budget leaderboard.

[@parsashams7568]

Lowest stress challenges could be very fun to 🙃

[@Charlie_the_dog]

12:14 I can confirm here by going frame by frame the bridge indeed didn't break

[@mdabusaqibalamansari9979]

I personally enjoyed this video and the previous one like this a lot more than the traditional polybridge videos you make (don't get me wrong those are also great).

[@squidgypollard1561]

this is a cool concept. next time you should try to get to the top of the lowest stress leaderboards

[@gwallace5403]

22:11. I appreciate the editor of these videos. Mildly less boring shapes and solid memes to mix it back in!

[@mboyette92]

[@valecasini]

YES please we need a bit of competition... When you'll finish this "challenge" you could trim it/do new cheaper bridge? 10:18 it actually was better! It went drom 90% to 87% 14:42 Matts (and editor) those are spiders! 17:57 that's the Aliensrock solution (after watching the gallery) 20:38 no comments from the editor? Like "don't ear it with close eyes"? 😂 20:44 monkey Matt T-shirt coming soon

[@Arripare]

I just love to see how Matt makes editors speechless by the funny mistakes he makes, like, this time the editor must has struggled to handle the ending in a less embarrasing way since Matt forgot the rule of non-breaking challenge.

When you do the safety videos you should trying for lowest stress % within the allotted budget.

[@monkebox3436]

Hey Matt, just a suggestion, could you go to the gallery of your weekly challenge and show off the RCE Propo- I mean could you take a look at the fan's bridges (maybe rate them?) now that it's officially out and people have had time to do it I made my own, It's exactly budget, and I suck so it had a max stress of basically 100 too but I'm curious about your reaction!

[@zanzaben]

An interesting challenge idea for an engineer could be trying to get the lowest possible stress while staying under budget.

[@ev34me65]

You should try playing Derail Valley it is a realistic train simulator with a fair few bridges!! and it calls you an Engineer at the start of the tutorial! and you can crash the trains into each other and blow up fuel tankers.

[@bananabird735]

To lower stress/maintain momentum, use more road, instead of three roads in a jump, use six for the same size jump, helps smooth out the jump, keeping momentum

[@PinkTuskedMammoth]

I mean when the developers name the level "Crossing Streams" I think they knew what was gonna end up in the gallery...(Not to mention what has been happening from day 1 lol)

Hey, RCE got a question thin you can talk them into adding Corpus Christi's Harbor Bridge .. the new one they have going up I feel is gonna be way over budget and 90% stress it was originally designed by Figg they have been fired but project has been halted couple times now. I don't believe I'll cross that bridge when the time comes hahaha

Some of my friends are going into architectural engineering. Best of both worlds, making stuff work and also looking good.

[@Suyash__Sharma]

[@theprofessionalfence-sitter]

The bridges only need to carry one or two cars. Having them still stand, afterwards, is completely inefficient! I demand that, next video, you only build bridges that completely fall down as soon as the cars have passed.

[@DiegoideGetsNoBitches]

Hey a question, what do you thing about technical architects, are they ok or fall onto the category of a hellspwn?

[@stone9351]

I wonder Matt...as a challenge, complete a series of levels without using a wall brace. I see its benefit and why you use it. So I am curious to see you handle building a bunch of bridges without using them to complete the levels.
