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.

It would be cool if they added a lock velocity prograde and retrograde option to the gyroscopes, it would make it behave more like a missile. (as mentioned at 7:40)

[@DarthMalak145]

This would make an awesome multiplayer Monday in scrap Mechanic, where everyone builds something like this and seeing how far it goes, or maybe tossing explosives into each other's castles, etc.

[@kayoVibrant]

I believe the problem with the inconsistency was happening because the AND gate required Scrapman to press e. Each time, he might have pressed e later giving the contraption another spin and therefore, more speed which amplifies the tiny inconsistency present because of the game.

[@phoenixdonner8553]

More likely the frame rate I think. I do agree though. It’s worse if the game is also non-deterministic with its physics. You can tell it is because of the way changing the game speed effects the physics.

[@DanielleWhite]

Scrapman: "I want Spinlaunch!" Scrapmom: "We have Spinlaunch at home." The Spinlaunch at home...

[@survivor8008]

I already liked the editor before, but this video has singlehandedly made me love them. Correcting Scrapman on the laws of physics is amazing, and also the edits are humorous yet subtle. I agree with the other comments saying they need a raise.

[@Der_Yoloist]

I feel the pain in camera controls in this game. They really could update that.

[@donkeymaster1815]

Scrapman always with the quality content, and the editor has been doing a great job, I like it a lot!

[@AnthonyantARBY]

The editor did a great job on this video! And thank you for explaining angular momentum! As well as when you tracked the bomb as it spun around so we could see it shifting off the rod!

[@Chris-ok4zo]

A demo in demolition as well as a lesson in physics? What a deal! Also, why not put a rocket on the projectile to keep it moving even after launch, as well as just putting a spike or a lot of weight on it, so just sheer force is the destructive element, rather than a boring explosive.

[@Blaster_Unity_UB]

The idea for this video is actually genius!

[@MrXcuses]

I dont think thrusters would defeat the purpose of spin launching. I think it’s to help yes reduce the amount of fuel used but as well as allowing the payload attached to it to not use as much of its own fuel for the initial energy which is usually where the highest burn rate is.

[@frogsecretaryofswamp452]

multiplayer monday idea: make a scrap mechanic got talent with your discord server with kan, moonbo, kosmo and you as the judge, each judge can bring 3 people from their discord server to be in the episode their job is to make the best creation they can in a limited amount of times with a limited amount of blocks, thruster, wheels, bearings, etc(so it doesnt go too insane) this idea involve the community alot, so im guessing that it will be really funny looking at what the community would build in that short amount of time, tho im guessing someone is gonna make a wedge and a brick for the memes

[@rgbok5453]

I would have never figured out how the spin launcher worked if scrap man didn't explain to me that it spun things and then launched them. Thank you.

[@burak1382]

I love the editors touch to the video 😂 He makes it even more fun than Scrappy himself and that is something!

[@DreadEnder]

YESSSS!!! Thank you for doing spin launch! I’ve been requesting it for ages!

[@Hadeks_Marow]

Anyone else notice that the issue seems to be the gyroscope? When you have artifacts like this --22:00 where the rocket isn't even facing the right direction, yeah, clearly something funky is going on and making a potential negative contribution. Would love to see this get a re-visit to just not use a hacky gyroscope work-around. Cause things really did start to fall apart when you decided to use a work around to counter it choosing to obey physics ( which gyroscopes do _not_ ).

[@thebeardedatheist]

That spin actually does happen. When testing on the real-life unit it does exit erratically and eventually fixes itself in the air but loses a ton of speed when going up sideways.

[@Cosmic_Cabbage]

This new editor is incredible, interesting video scrapman!

[@SharkLux_Official]

I think I know why the rocket seemed very inconsistent. The gyro was last known to be set to activate with E and Q, the buttons also used in the 'and' gate to launch

[@ibawkbawki]

I tried to build this in space engineers (would be helpful in that game right? Realism too) there’s not really air physics so I couldn’t make it a vacuum (although pulling air out would be possible I don’t think it’d do anything) But yeah this was difficult asf 😂 there’s not really great timing in that game, at least as customizable as this. I kept having the payload blow throw the sidewalls or clip something and explode the whole station lol. It’s was very fun trying though 😂 maybe I’ll try again the game got a big update, added a lot of tech stuff maybe it’s possible now

[@PicaMula]

Yep, ScrapMan just discovered one (nonzero angular momentum on release) of the many many intrinsic problems that makes SpinLaunch impossible to use it as a rocket launching system.

[@kaiserwilhelm121]

Ahh yes, the sideways launching rocket

[@danisgamingclub5598]

1:17 THE STRONGEST SHAPE!!!

[@oscarvandoorn7213]

I love the editor for saying the things i'm thinking

[@nemasisdemarini8339]

The double power swivel wasn't inconsistent with it's spin. It just spun fast enough for the bomb to hit the ground, detonate, and destabilize the rotation.

[@john.s1962]

i like that the editor writes explanations and comments, you guys should keep doing it, it's pretty cool

[@a.r.9689]

You just made a perpetual motion machine that i tried to build in the past(i failed even though it was in a game), this has made my day.

[@thmsbkr3]

I think part of the issue with double stacking the swivels had to do with your gyroscope. When you would spin up your bomb was trying to stabilize while your swivels were not very stable. Probably would have been better if you'd have built from both sides so everything could've been more stable. (Gyroscope also probably had to do with your rotation while stationary.)

[@voidwyrm6149]

15:50 that's likely the gyroscope reacting to the arm falling

[@aronbagamery1367]

You could build the fire fighter machine called "Big wind" equipped with MiG-21 engines mounted on a T-34 tank . You could use the turbine vacuum to blow buildings down.

[@WillDa713]

The reason why your game speed affects your spin is that you probably have an unconnected block clipping somewhere inside your creation. Try clicking a block that is obviously connected to the structure, such as the cab or one of those big panels on the bottom, then select connected parts and invert the selection, you can then move the piece to see what it is and place it back or just delete it if it's a duplicate. Clipping blocks can be some of the most extremes form of power in physics based games like this one, so it looks like you've only got a single small block glitched in the launching arm

[@WillDa713]

forgot to mention why slowing down time makes it spin backwards. Your thrust is a constant set by the engines, whereas the energy output by the clipping block comes from its collisions with the rest of the structure. With time slowing down, the game is allowed to calculate a greater number of movements and collisions, thus increasing the "propelling" power of the block while the thrusters keep their relative value regardless of time speed. hope it all makes sense, it's still all a guess but it would also explain why the arm would randomly start spinning clockwise and counter-clockwise

[@WillDa713]

i'm still watching the video and you've got the concept in mind it's the same problem you've explained with why the sensor worked differently under different time conditions

[@Blaster_Unity_UB]

Now, you HAVE to do this in SM!

[@hmmsus2003]

The gyro on the missile trying it's hardest to defy scrapman's expectations

[@videoangel1263]

SpinLaunch mechanism to test who can go more far in scrap mechanic, a little idea. Good video, and the quality of the sound was great xD.

[@jordanu6501]

You invented a perpetual motion machine. Gratz

[@Walker_96365]

0:56 You’re also having to deal with holding the payload in place while it experiences about 10,000 Gs and pulls on the launching mechanism with over 4 million pounds of force!

[@DraconicDuelist]

15:05 *Tries to build a SpinLaunch, accidentally invents perpetual motion machine*

[@iliketoharasspeopleonyoutube]

You should've probably kept the spine mechanism and the aim mechanism on different axis

[@GamePrismZ]

FRICKEN LOVE THE NEW EDITOR… THEY ARE AWESOME

[@famus_tem8351]

my thought for making a spin launch is splitting the counterbalance using release connectors. then you can have multiple payloads and the counterbalance will become lighter and lighter to stay in balance.

[@MahBor]

The new editor does an awesome job!

[@smarty265]

now that was truly an instrument of destruction

[@DreadEnder]

I think the way the game measures speed is actually in velocity because when you put the seat on it the velocity was constantly switching between 0 and 1km/h which would happen in rotation because velocity is speed in a straight line, and in rotation your constantly changing direction

[@William_Kyle-Yuki_Yuuki]

I think most of the inconsistency is due to the sensor wabble, it is detecting the launch arm sooner/later than intended because of the angle. perhaps try adding a anchor below the sensor and a solid plate to connect it to at the desired direction to fix its location and prevent excess wabble.

[@SkrafEyeQ]

I would personally turn the webcam lights a little down, right now you look like discord light theme. But very epic video and thanks editor for giving me a notice on the audio.

[@Earlchaos]

That's exactly how the spinlaunch would work too if they would ever build one :)

[@chrishaselden]

Nicely done.

[@SuperMichael996]

Seeing this created a funny scene in my theater of mind: "- Trebuchet ready, milord. - Wh-... wha-... what in tarnation?"

[@voidwyrm6149]

9:15 clicking "reinforced" reduces wobble iirc

[@rccookie6202]

There is more to balancing such a „wheel“; both ends don’t need to be the same weight, they need to have the same angular momentum, which means weight further away from the centerpoint is having a greater effect.

[@hattonz5275]

Would like to see you make this other games Scrapman. I personally think the editor was quite rude when correcting ScrapMan and was disrespectful when doing so. Scrapman understands who watches his videos and he cleverly makes his content clear and engaging for all ages, through how he plays and his editing style. I also find the editing style of this video to be quite common across KZbin, It works on some channels, but not here as it's very distracting and makes the video about the edit and not the content, with no added benefit and losing part of what makes Scrapman's channel great. His really good attention to detail, especially while editing. The best editor should go unnoticed and is there to support the content and not there to compete for attention.

[@golden.raja_]

heyo editor, i have a suggestion. Whenever you zoom/enlarge the face cam, you should re centre it so it looks nice ig 👍

[@SunilNmb]

Actually, i kinda like the way it looks

[@projectdren806]

You actually did a perfect job replicating it because the real thing doesn't exist. It's a prototype glorified kickstarter that is near impossible to get to work, specially considering alternative solutions we could come up with. There is an actual rocket scientist on KZbin called Thunderfoot who did a whole video on why this is impossible and just a way for people to get grants to work on an impossible project. So, considering that, you did great!

[@SonnyKnutson]

@ScrapMan You could put the sensor closer to the base where the rotation is. Because the closer you get to the axis of rotation. The slower the movement is. Making it easier for the sensor to pick of the arm movement more correctly.

[@CurlyCross]

I think part of your wobble issue is not having a centered support pole from the stabilizing platform.

[@YoYoK3nny]

Scrapman should really try this again with a square base and maybe give the pole some support struts (or a frame that keeps the pole straight at all times)

[@mattmays9063]

I kow what happened. As the gyrating entity on the screen achieves a rotational velocity of utmost extremity, precisely aligning with the angular momentum generated by its eccentric, inertia-driven release point! This, my dear friend, instigates an off-kilter perimeter distillation, thus unleashing a cataclysmic cascade of calamities, all due to the incongruous encounter between the 144Hz refresh rate and a series of gravity-fueled calculations, multiplied by the off-axis vector dampening. As this bewildering concoction reaches the brink of critical mass, it sets in motion a temporal anomaly, compelling the fabric of time to retrace its steps in a most peculiar fashion! But wait, there's more! Upon decelerating the visual record, we bear witness to a phenomenon that defies the very foundations of science - the transmutation of matter from a solid to a gaseous state in the blink of an eye! This extraordinary display, with roots in the slit experiment and the principles of relativity, precipitates a most unusual circumstance: the unraveling of time itself, rewinding in an impeccably accurate manner, retracing the events as they initially transpired. -Written by Matt and Inspired by Doc Brown from 'Back to the Future'.

Should have added wings in the back side to make it like a dart (fin stabilization like a dart) to make it stop spinning (or helping at least) and help it go in a straight direction

[@SieraAsSyarif]

Nice BGM

[@Circle9ru]

ok, how to make it more precise: first of all, equalize the weight and lenght(lenght is importand for momentum, when its not equalized its wobly) of all part, this moving part should be attached to the center of the base, the sensor "arm" should have counter part with same weight, but no sensor ofc. to make it even better, put attaching block on the piston at the end of sensor arm pointing down, after you aim, you push the piston down and attach the sencor arm to the ground. also you can increase the amount of attchment blocks on the bottom aswell.
