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

Trailmakers, I think you’ll love it

@@ReidCaptain You could have put four legs, the 1st and 3rd stepping at the same time and the 2nd and 4th stepping when the others go up. Like animals do.

I love how every time you make one of these you completely redesign everything.

I thought this was crab rave when I saw your post can you make crab rave by taking a ton of these and making them dance?

[@ReidCaptain]

Lol

[@kynolyt6103]

Imagine one day your just driving your way home, but the bridge you used to take was shut off for construction. Then you go to the next bridge but it’s just a huge walking centipede contraption.

[@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!

[@llthll]

I swear to god if we could just build bridges in real life like how we build in Poly Bridge, this dude would make literally big working vehicles that might even cross the ocean lmao.

[@thepizzapalsroleplay2815]

This is probably the best engineering channel I have ever seen, I wish I was smart enough and patient enough to do stuff like this!

Reid : has bridge building game *proceeds to do anything but what the game intends*

[@GratefulNPC]

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.

[@LunaExpiX]

Everybody gansta till the bridge starts walkin

[@alexismandelias]

Actually that doesn't sound that bad. Make a factory that, based on the hydraulic controller, can make different simple bridges. That would be a fun challenge.

[@Roman6025]

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

[@markzhitnitsky7029]

When I saw your post a couple days ago about the beest I knew... And now you delivered

[@taky1711]

imagine a few hydraulics powering such a giant creature

[@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.

[@Dmrgamingdoesgames]

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

[@Fernando_Robes]

when he does a close on the motor part of the machine when it is on i fell like i am seeing the 4th dimension

[@galladegamerletsplays]

poly bridge 2: The point of this game is to make perfectly stable bridges! RC: *_more legs_*

[@MxCrompli]

Now let's make sentient creatures in Poly Bridge

[@bigbo1764]

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

[@ReidCaptain]

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

[@mimzy6067]

Strandbeest is a dutch name but translated its ‘’beachanimal’’

You should try Scrap Mechanic. You would be absolutely fantastic at building things in it.

VPN doesnt actually secure your data, because its already secured by your browser with military grade incryption, it just changes where the data is being sent. So it usually makes no difference if you are using VPN or not. Its only useful to do things as you said, like watching movies from another region

Bruh region locking is a big thing
