Part 4 of the Stranded In Space campaign in Trailmakers, the game where I have to build and engineer my way off a stranded planet. Using my engineering judgement, a professional engineer is stranded on a planet in the middle of nowhere, all he has is a spanner and a lego hair-do... Can he build himself a way off this planet in Trailmakers? A professional civil engineer takes on the Trailmakers campaign!

Will there be videos on eve?

[@mikouffins]

Eve Online is not a happy place. I have 2000 hours on record. Run away unless you have hours upon hours of time to spare making spreadsheets and solving linear optimisation problems. Oh and the gameplay itself is alright too I guess.

[@jjov-yh9yb]

Matt, the concrete wall dispensers aren't entirely useless. I saw someone make a vehicle that uses them to build a bridge in front of itself as it drives.

[@charlesgrove6905]

No doubt you've figured it out, but I believe its the tires that are causing you to flip in the water, as they are acting as buoyant forces. Also, I think someone else mentioned it that using the dispensers you could probably make an entire bridge building vehicle.

[@TGears314]

Don’t forget that center of mass and center of gravity are two separate things. His center of gravity is lower than his center of mass so when the inflatables are emptied, the swap. Think of a pencil balanced vertically on your finger versus hanging underneath your fingers while you pinch the end

[@vincentfalcone8802]

I just set my ballast tanks to different keys to control them independently from side to side and front to rear when I build subs. they're really shitty cuz they go so slow but they're very controlled

[@ilyte1]

I think his engines are just really heavy and he should have car engines on the bottom boat engines on the top. The car engine should counteract the buoyancy of the tires and drag the bottom of his vehicle down

[@isaacchapman5066]

You should play “Terra Tech”!!!!

Matt, I’m astonished that you would take the masterpiece that was Snake Dog and replace it with the monstrosity that is Sub Dog. How I will ever emotionally recover from this, I still don’t know.

[@ArgumentativeAtheist]

I bought this game after watching you play it. I have now completed the campaign, and I built an amazing amphibious sub. It took a long time to figure out, but eventually I realised that you need a couple of permanent floats on *top* of the vehicle to make it so that the top always floats upwards. If you added a float to your seat and then another at the front and one last one at the back I think your Sub Dog would stay upright easily. . I used up and down to control buoyancy and I added two impellers to the front pointing up/down which I controlled with Q and E, so I could make the front of the vehicle point up or down as I chose. I also added a crane thing at the front, I just found it easier to control when the crane was at the front as opposed to the rear.

[@TKDWN_YT]

Since RCE is playing Trailmakers, I just wanted to ask if he had played Scrap Mechanic yet? Most of the KZbinrs that had played Scrap Mechanic played Trailmakers and said it was similar.

[@galaxel1494]

I don’t believe he has, but that would be great!

With the buoyancy tanks. Put them on the top of the sub, that should help with the flipping.

Using a steering hinge to grab the object has to be the most engineer-y solution

Love this series, trailmakers just seems so cool, it just makes me want to build and create some crazy things.

5:23 Lumpy bump! The Lumpy Bumps are what my brother and I called a bunch of dirt piles at the end of a nearby road where we liked to ride our bikes. I was a little surprised to hear the term.

[@Solious]

I like how the Engineer forgot what Center Of Mass & Center Of Tilt are.

[@KiithnarasAshaa]

God, knowing how long I played Eve for and how long it's been since I stopped playing (no, I am not looking to go back, either), you're making feel old as heck, Matt. Jerk. ; )

[@lordgenerias]

Creating The Strongest Shape(tm) at the end was absolutely necessary.

[@jarenalfred66]

You should add another joint so the steering is even sharper and it looks more like a snake, great video btw!

[@corruptedcode8885]

If you add a medium pontoon to the top side of your submarine then it keeps it from going upside down. Just a suggestion.

You have a strange talent for making vehicles that are more stable when driving upside-down

You should replace some blocks under the suddog son the wheights pull de bottom of the submarine. With the wheights over it, the top is pulled down and flip it.

Hahahaha!!! EvE Online!! been playing that for years, started in 2004, played on and off - been back for the past year and 1/2 :D

[@TheNotOfficialDub]

I'm sure if you had enough patience, you could make a bridge out of metal crates. This could be somewhat easy I guess because the crates can go static after a second or so

[@WiLDRAGE777]

Seeing this makes me realize, I would really, really like to see you play Besiege.

This is basically Banjo Kazooie nuts and bolts vehicle building! so try that game out if you wanna build like an og lol

[@bowxfire5275]

RCE would love letsgameitout. He made hell for architects in his recent video of satisfactory which is a factory making game. He made a faccctorry like engineers would. Totally for the efficiency.

[@headrockbeats]

I thought my Trailmakers designs were AWFUL.... until I saw this video and realized how many light-years ahead I was by comparison. Thanks for shoring up my self-confidence!

[@Hi_im_Northwind]

RCE, set the underwater props to space, and use W S for pitch

[@rpgaholic8202]

Nice! Once I unlocked the diving bell, I used the sub they have but kept upgrading it with engines when I salvaged more power cores. I also ended up with a "sinker" for the stuff on the very bottom. The planes are giving me trouble, especially the ones in the pre-made section.

[@moe999cow]

Recently watched your archive of you making the brinook. It was simultaneously the funniest thing and most frustrating thing I've watched in a while.

[@RealCivilEngineerGaming]

It'll be editing into a vid soon so every one can be frustrated too! 😅

[@captainsquiglehopper]

Use paddles or fins to help you steer and stay straight. Also add role to help you maneuver the terrain better.

[@maxboskeljon6440]

[@dodolul9016]

Hell yes

[@zeekjones1]

If you put your floats on the top of the sub it wont flip, that's only happening because of you being top heavy.

[@thejester-king4135]

Try Dyson sphere program once it is fully out; currently it is in early acess

[@Neo1708.]

I wonder if the beach balls float; you might be able to leverage that to your advantage if so ...

[@warden-sisyphus5554]

Put your buoyancy items on the top side of your vehicle to avoid flipping

[@brianargo4595]

I don't play this game, but I wonder if aero control surfaces work underwater. Normal subs don't use buoyancy to control pitch, much, unless they're not moving

Hey Matt please try "oxygen not found"

dont you have any sort of tilt controls (roll, pitch, yaw, etc) I guess you could, by putting underwater propellers on hinges and stuff. but it was quite pain watching it
