I Built The Most Destructive Slingshot Because This Game Let Me! [Instruments of Destruction]

Welcome to another episode of Instruments of Destruction! Today I am attempting to build an explosive launching slingshot capable of destroying buildings! Not many games have the ability to use stretchy rope like this, so if any game will let me build the slingshot of my dreams, it's this one!

About the game:
Instruments of Destruction features an advanced physics-based destruction system. You can demolish every structure in the game piece by piece. In addition, every object you see in the game world--save for small decorative plants and rocks--is part of the physics system. Each element of the world interacts with each other and together they create a physical, visceral world to play with.
Build Your Vehicle
Build a vehicle your way, with an ever-expanding array of parts and pieces. Using an intuitive vehicle construction system that also lets you customize your vehicles' appearance and controls, you'll always have fun creating your next awesome invention.
From simple splitters to advanced joints, a variety of parts slowly unlock as you play through the game, and each unlocks countless new possibilities.
While some vehicles will perform better than others in accomplishing your objectives, it's always a bit more fun to get creative and go a little off script. Optional bonus challenges and objectives will reward more creative builders and add more replayability.

I actually bought this game because of you Scrapman. I've been enjoying every moment of experimenting with builds! The game also doubles as a great benchmarking tool lol.

[@_miobrot_603]

Cool name bro. How would you rate this game out of 10?

[@Hi._.0110]

Hi

[@gajspalt]

​@@_miobrot_603 Don't go in expecting complex gameplay or story, the game allows you to pull-off complex builds if you so choose, but doesn't punish you for not going that route. In the end it's all about no stress, chill building with the added satisfaction of watching your creations tank structures and your FPS into oblivion. I'd give it a solid 7.5/10, the physics feel better than most games in its genre, here's hoping we get larger maps and more gameplay options in the future.

[@Malefiscent]

I wonder if you could use a rope or chain that winds around a swivel to pull the slingshot for even more power. Like the crane used.

[@suicidalbanananana]

If ropes/bungee's can collide with each other a "Mangonel" would be a cool interpretation of your suggestion :D

[@5amu22]

Also to lower the site to be more accurate to where it actually goes, although it would take lots trial and error

[@zentrivig]

I fun recommendation for a future episode would be a musical instrument of destruction. In the intro you could say, "welcome back to instruments of destruction, and today we are building an instrument of destruction". I good instrument could be those cymbals that you hit together and you could crush a building with them.

[@Kronikalrag3]

Try to make a contraption where you bore into the building like a drill bit / or pilot hole , and then the drill bit part has a rapid expand and contract feature to destroy it from the inside out ...like overly large dynabolt.

[@TheChungassSupreme]

Something I haven't seen anyone do: turn the vortex orb into a ranged projectile to test the destructive capabilities. Actually, what about the destructive properties of other pieces? I think your slingshot would be a great way to test that. Go down the list, and replace the warhead with other components, and see how they act as ammunition, and which works better. We might find out some neat properties of even the frame blocks by doing this.

[@lameyeoman3795]

Hi ScrapMan! My idea for an episode is some kind of scanner made of lasers, that scans from top to bottom, but instead of scanning the building, it melts it. Thank you.

More instruments!!!!! loving your creations in this game! keep it up my man

[@zettaton]

Scrapman: (Adds power swivel to slingshot) Me: "why? Your tank tracks provide yaw!"

[@short0811]

This game has one of the most satisfying destruction mechanics. Great video Scrapman!

[@mastercrython2151]

you could just aim with the tank tracks but you found a great solution

[@dianeharris266]

Scrap man+Batman equals a really smart super hero.

[@_Dalee_]

Make something that launches a volley of missiles at a target. Like bombs with thrusters on them. Almost like one of those firework boxes but sideways.🚀🚀🚀💥

[@rudolf_box8440]

The game is like a more destructive version of trailmakers which makes it more fun

[@itzyaboycody4441]

Idea: build something that crushes the building like a hydraulic press

[@making11]

Only real school bullies use the nuclear slingshot

[@hunterseabolt1634]

You can actually fix the stability by putting the pistons further towards the center of mass for the turning object (in this particular case, the slingshot). I'd suggest placing the pistons just below the "Y."

[@cyantasks7129]

15:50 nice aiming laser

[@takorakataar8181]

Now, you've made Beyblades in Trailmakers. And you've made Beyblades in Scrap Mechanic. But, although you don't have a stadium you can use it in... are you able to make a Beyblade in Instruments of Destruction?

[@Fnepsh]

Replace the bombs on the sling shot with one or more of those black hole thingies!

[@GoshkaPolska]

9:22 Intresting how the aming lazer interacts with the water

[@roccov3614]

Was not expecting that to be so accurate and consistent.

[@iamfootscum]

Tip if you are trying to make stable turrets etc. Attach elastic from the base of the vehicle to the turret. The joint needs to be under load at all time or it just jiggles. I normally put two bands, one dragging against each direction of movement

[@thomasdyer5621]

Scrapman: the building is gone. Me: what building

[@TheItachikiller]

I would love to see you launch so many missiles that you hopefully destroy all of the buildings in one salvo

[@suicidalbanananana]

As a kid I loved playing with pea shooters, bscly a miniature catapult-like-thing, made from the plastic center of those small rolls of tape and a balloon (and some tape) you could maybe try make one using lots of bungee ropes in a circular layout?

[@FoxTrot63]

You should build a ballista!

[@alphaghost608]

Idea: Build a controllable Nuke!

[@balistix6723]

You should've done that when the slingshot aims up, the laser (at a starting position aiming to where it lands) points farer to the ground as far as the slingshot can reach

[@johnisraelcambronero3803]

I wish someone made a scrapman in a nutshell that would be fun to watch

[@connorbowen1768]

Scrapman: I can put a laser sight on the slingshot! Me: Now it needs a sniper scope.

[@moroblizniak4457]

You could make yourself a challenge, get as much destruction with as low budget you can get

[@iankim1869]

smoothness is how much smoother the rope moves and stability keeps it upright

[@SomeOne-rt5kn]

The slingshot was so happy that it did a flip

[@kaikornahrens1412]

Idea: Do this, but with outward vortex. There would be massive spread shot. Or inward for a great deal more damage

[@JediDrewsterT]

Now I want to see Scrapman make a crossbow with a gravity loading magazine!

[@thetrueminecrafter8091]

This would probably be easier using magnets and a trapped metal ball

[@jiaxin4116]

the oscillation = free energyyyyy XDD

[@marquitusguillen9520]

Scrapman, you could actually make a hook that opens and closes, to grab the bomb releaser and like only shoot one at a time, then have 4 bombs in the sling and with the hook, grab and retract.

[@mallowmeshes2526]

Very nice video,you are the reason i like scrap mechanic

[@Psycorde]

This thing even has built-in celebratory hype frontflip

[@Vinraymi]

the issue with the sway when you were trying to turn with the power swivel was because the strenght was at 0.3

[@scrapman]

Strength=Speed on moving parts. Increasing that would just lower precision

[@Vinraymi]

@@scrapman Yeah well it' kinda both strenght and speed at the same time because more strenght allows it to move heavier things easier so it can look like it's faster (at least irl, i don't know in the game) By the way, it makes me happy to see that you answered my comment, thanks a lot! :)

[@ratheonhudson3311]

In an alternative universe there might be "unexplosive bombs" as well as healing papercuts, so yeah.

[@m.n.m.ink.784]

I have a suggestion to make. On the concept of flexible component weaponry, I suggest you make a Bola, (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolas) A device made of a string, connected to multiple weights by other strings at the end. In operation, The end of the primary string is held while riven in a circular motion to cause the weights to revolve (Flail) around the hand. The String is then released, and the weights continue to move, tangent to the original path due to momentum. Due to rotation and the centripetal force, The weights move apart and revolve around each other. The then move to ensnare the target.

[@qgaucho9088]

Use a power swivel, some blocks, and two free swivels in a way where the steering for this would work seeing that a power swivel has no wobble.

[@terra-ryan]

Same energy as a snowball with some rocks inside it

[@Gabriel-wm2mt]

Video Idea: make a vehicle that throws spinning shurikens powered by thrusters and has lasers.

[@technicbuilder6410]

2 months and 21 days of asking ScrapMan for building an ekranoplan.

[@TheGam200]

I would like to see other iterations on this build maybe a magnet system to pull the bungie back. And seeing if you can get stronger releases and bigger pay loads. Also ballista ?

[@wiskrimsbadplay7549]

You should have try magnets to attach and detached it. I think you could go farther backwards with magnets than with pistons.

[@Til241]

Now maybe you could use this mechanism to make a crossbow?

[@jaceg810]

some kind of controllable missile like creation, kind of like an plane, but without wings, and with specialising into flying into buildings

[@breadedbread3561]

I made my own slingshot before watching this to see how our ideas would differ.

[@Jbro-yp5qr]

Flex beams are The wedge of instruments of destruction

[@pawedabek1445]

You sholud have went with a crossbow straight away. Cool video

[@ArsFortuna]

You asked for crazy contraptions - what about trying to weaponize that weird oscillation? Making a smaller vehicle that can initiate that feedback loop, then release the grip to fling itself at the buildings?

[@mrpineapples9716]

"As appose to an unexplosive bomb" The unexplosive bomb: *shouts insults at building* The birth of an f-bomb

[@andreasmelis7930]

Try this in trailmakers then search some buildings to destroy

[@jocosesonata]

A chainsaw ballista would be neat.

[@THESLlCK]

More trailmakers would be appreciated

[@jionixelengineer8578]

Is it only me who thinks Scrapman will create a "flex beam gang" as well as the wedge gang

[@jamieevans5454]

Hi scrap man if you stick more bungie cords on your sling shoot it should go in a straight line instead of dropping down so where you point your Lazer sight

[@sidewaysrowlet9544]

idea: put thruster on the bomb(somehow) so it can go faster and more accurate

[@juanamariafortezaribas2751]

Scrapman I have two ideas that you could do on the bomb you could add a thruster behind the bomb, also try to do Godzilla with the lasers

[@charismagavina7412]

You should make a bomber plane next so you can hit the tops and so you can use the aiming laser to aim better because it doesn’t work as well with the sling shot

[@Chexmix6]

Maybe you could build a flail/mace that has lasers instead of spikes!

[@garethstefanus8555]

I love your IOD vids

[@vincentsalcido9605]

You could make a reloading version by instead making a tube in which the bomb travels through; then you pull the launcher back and drop in another bomb

[@arlomedina638]

I cant believe i found you randomly because of a mis search now i watch you alot

[@SirNobleIZH]

Scrapman, you ahould build an Ekranoplan in Trailmakers

[@ripurhrtout]

Can't remember if you did already but maybe try recreating the balista like you did in trail makers

[@steelengine4265]

The piggies thought they were safe in there buildings, but scrapman wanted bacon, so he just sent a bomb over and over.(Angy birds btw)

[@micahfell2516]

You and your friends should combine a vehicle and do a 2v2.

[@radufanaca7912]

I would love to see a bomber plane in this game.

[@tapthestickman7732]

you should re-create the wedge car, but make it out of the long ones, and put bombs on the rockets. Why? WEDGE GANG!

[@tritoner1221]

make a harpoon cannon with a laser sight

[@kevinchen7166]

You can make a reloadable slingshot using cannons to spawn ammo

[@GraveFighter450]

[@tubois2025]

Maybe make a missile rpg mortar next?

[@lasinhouseinthetrees1928]

the springs seem to have exponential rebound which doesn't seem great in terms of building but I wonder if you could make a perpetual motion machine of destruction

Pov: your in the building and you see a nuclear bla blade coming at you

[@bruhredsus08914]

Other alternative title: making an explosive cross bow/side ways boom bow

[@CallMe_Kaioh]

Instead of a release connector you can use an anchor block

[@MilTheBee]

Should’ve angled the laser down a bit so it can be accurate.

[@tornadoblovom3460]

How about building a crosbow/bow? Or maybe a vaccum powered mortar?

[@omegatheta1701]

i suspect that if you used a chain pulley system you could get better pull strength and make the whole thing reloadable
