About Trailmakers:
In the toughest motoring expedition in the universe, you and your friends will build your own vehicles to cross a dangerous wasteland. Explore, crash horribly, use your wits to build a better rig, and get as far as you can with whatever spare parts you find on your way.
Welcome to the Ultimate Expedition!
Journey over grueling mountains, hazardous swamps, and bone-dry deserts on a distant world far from civilization - it is just you, your fellow adventurers and the amazing, jet-powered hover-buggy you built yourself. Explore, crash your vehicle, build a better one, and get as far as you can with whatever spare parts you find along your way.
Trailmakers is about building very awesome vehicles and machines, but you don’t need an engineering degree to get started. The intuitive builder will get you going in no time. Everything you build is made from physical building blocks. Each block has unique features like shape, weight and functionality. They can be broken off, refitted and used to build something new. Individually the blocks are fairly simple, but combined the possibilities are endless.
Expedition Mode is the challenging campaign mode of Trailmakers. You are competing in an off-world rally expedition with only a few building blocks to get you started. You must build, tinker with and rebuild your machine to progress. Journey through a big world, overcome deep gorges, angry wildlife and dangerous weather to progress and find new parts that will juice up your machine. The world in Expedition Mode will test your survival skills and ingenuity.
Sandbox Mode is where you want to head for an unrestricted, sandbox, vehicle-building experience. Here you can build anything you can dream of, and play around with it in the world of Trailmakers. It is a great place to test out crazy machines, and experiment with the physics engine. With tons of different blocks, hinges, thrusters and interactive vehicle parts - the skybox is the limit.
Trailmakers is even more fun if you play it with other people. Build cool vehicles and compete in mini-game modes with your friends or other Trailmakers online. Build a helicopter, send it to your friend, and shoot them out of the sky. Put two seats on a tank, and let your friend control the turret. As we get further in Early Access development Expedition Mode will also be adapted to multiplayer.

Basically: Catamaran uses buoyancy like normal ship but has 2 hulls in the water. Hydrofoil uses lifting force from wings in the water to lift the hull out of the water after reaching certain speed

[@evernewb2073]

close: the hydrofoil is the system for lifting the craft out of the water, catamaran refers to designs with 2 main hulls. there is no reason that a boat can't be both designing a hydrofoil as a catamaran layout makes particular sense in videogames because physics is always going to be a lot more napkin-mathy and your tools for interacting with the game physics are a lot more limited making the stability of the layout rather helpful

[@Xeno1798]

@@evernewb2073 That last part is the specific one to focus on for the question. Catamaran's aren't hydrofoils. A hydrofoil can also be a catamaran given the foils are on the extended hulls

[@evernewb2073]

@@Xeno1798 I...um, yes? your' phrasing says you are providing a counterpoint in a nice clear matter of fact manner but what you are saying agrees entirely...am I missing an interaction with the exact phrasing in the video? I made the comment after it was finished so that sounds fairly plausible. I did leave a bit out: it looked like a lot of the "hydrofoils" in the video were simply...what's the boating term for it again...planeing? skimming right up on the surface of the water with only the bottom tip of the hull engaged (not a hydrofoil but similar design goals and methodology) usually with some system to maintain engagement cleanly like how racing boats form a vacuum under themselves or the control systems in some of the builds in the video

[@evernewb2073]

@@Xeno1798 oh! oh I think I get it: hydrofoil and catamaran aren't their own similar but unique things in and of themselves like, I dunno, hovercraft for example. like how a "jet" is really just a shorthand term for airplanes with a specific category of engine acting as their primary powerplant. aaand now I'm wondering if you can get away with calling something like a P-38 a catamaran, heh.

[@maxcalabrese5962]

@@evernewb2073 you're very right about it being napkin-mathy. What you seen this game is very unrealistic. In real life a hydrofoil will stop lifting as soon as it pops out of the water - when it reenters the water it has to overcome the resistance provided by the surface tension as well as "restarting" the laminar flow around the foil. My experience is just with kite foils but breaching usually means the board slamming down hard into the water and losing all your speed so its something you want to avoid. The exception here would be if the hull has enough lifting area for the boat to actually fly - an idea that was tested a few times with seaplanes but that turned out to be a horrible combo.

Hydrofoil literally refers to the "wings" shape in the water. Think aerofoil. So a hydrofoil boat is just a craft that has "wings" that go beneath the surface.

[@MurseMorris]

[@FuelDropforthewin]

When you think about it, Hydrofoils are basically a no drag glitch IRL.

[@have_no_idea]

[@the_worst_youtuber_ever8583]

Second time

[@edwardgravit2072]

A catamaran has two hulls, (trimaran three, etc.). A hydrofoil raises a hull out of the water. There are examples of foiling catamarans (see America's cup 2021), but a basic catamaran has the two hulls remaining in the water with a structure and usually a trampoline connecting them, whereas a foiling boat has a hull that is raised by foils. Hulls are buoyant whereas foils are almost always just aerodynamic.

[@darklingnz8017]

Lol couldnt have said it better myself. The new hydrofoiling Americas cup boats are insane to watch and are incredibly fast. Even in the water they move faster than the regular boats they used to use in the comp. Getting to thw point where tjere are loads of things that foil. Theres a vid of a dude that used a foiling board to recreate an aladdins magic carpet scene and it looks great.

[@69production60]

I would say catamarans aren’t hydrofoils because the part that stays in the water and the part that stays out of the water stays the same when your moving and when your stoped

[@tropicalvikingcreations]

Hydro foils don't need moving parts to count as a hydro foil, you can have the WI vs attached at a preset angle to do the same thing. However compared to one that does move it affects the efficiency towards the ends of the transition.

[@69production60]

@@tropicalvikingcreations I didt mean moving parts I meant when you have a boat with a hydrofoil it doesn’t pop out of the water till it gets at speed a catamaran’s body stays out of the water even when it’s stopped

MK 5 is on the workshop. I've fixed the high speed dipping issue; mostly. Still committed to building the fastest non glitch, wing turning boat. I do have another one that uses glitches and has a faster turning method. I think I uploaded it as the Hydrofoil Mini.

[@lostamold2361]

Nice to see my Hydrofoil in your video, didn´t expect that :) Great video as always!

[@supersmiley5587]

I think the difference is that a catamerans main body (the middle part) is always over the wa'er even at 0km/h but a hydrofoils body is ontop of da wa'er at 0km/h

[@anteshell]

Hydrofoil "flies" in the water. Catamaran just floats on it like normal one bodied boats. The difference between a catamaran and normal boat is just the amount of floating bodies.

Man, I always REALLY like watching Scrapman's videos they always make me laugh plus they make my day :D

[@MrMattkid]

Something to note in that definition is a hydrofoil is specifically a wing that reduces the drag on a boat by lifting it out of the water. So calling a boat itself a hydrofoil is actually the wrong use of the word. In summary: A boat is not a hydrofoil, it can have a hydrofoil on it to reduce it's drag. However it is still a boat not a hydrofoil.

[@ariddreamlancer7335]

Hi scrap man! I love your videos. A cool thing to make would the Lun-class ekranoplan. It’s a scrapped idea for a hydrofoil military vehicle, maybe it could be for your series where you make failed concepts in trailmakers and scrap mechanic?

[@vVagabondd]

I think we all know we need a hydrofoil race.

[@neuro_4385]

That sail glider one was so cool

[@UR_Mind]

I'd say most of those were hydroplanes, a boat skims across the water with a small part of its hull in contact with the water at any given time. A hydrofoil would have the hull contact the water, and it would require some structure below the water to lift it out. A catamaran is a twin hulled boat, which can fit into either category above.

[@Not_Dane_Heart]

A catamaran is a multihull boat, this means that it has more than one hull allowing it to lift it’s center out of the water. A foiling boat has wings on the bottom which push it out of the water at speed. This means that they only work once that speed is met while a catamaran always has less drag, so a catamaran is not a foiling boat. However, you can get a foiled catamaran which would have a very high top speed and would be the sort that would win races such as the fastnet.

[@Not_Dane_Heart]

Hope this helps

[@jacospies7418]

Workshop creations are always good...

[@hancehaydengonzales1285]

wow this is great content!

[@THESLlCK]

6:05 is quite clearly a hydrofoil. Any boat that uses a flat surface to create lift to push itself mostly or entirely out of the water is a hydrofoil. Look up top fuel hydrofoil boat racing. Same design, but they make 10,000+ horsepower minimum to compete. Some hell of a sport.

[@trapfrog5474]

I'd say thats its more of a ground effect vehicle

[@THESLlCK]

@@trapfrog5474 impossible. Ground effect's entire purpose is never touching the water.

[@gamerraider2600]

Yeah, can you recreate the "Christmas Bullet plane"👍

[@goldfishwings]

I would define a catamaran as a boat that lifts the majority of the craft out of the water using buoyancy, where a hydrofoil lifts the boat out of the water using hydrodynamics.

[@RichardSJTol]

Pls make an episode on flying, boating and submarining on highseas with these creations and ones you made in past episodes it would be soooo cool

[@dalainawillis507]

Can’t wait for the mars series to start

[@Snarfyy]

Strange vehicle for you to check out - the soviet Ekranoplan. It’s a large boat that uses aerofoils to lift it completely out of the water, much like a hydrofoil but more extreme.

[@RobertCondonSunnyTurtle]

Hydrofoil is just any lifting surface under a boat. You might want to look at Australia II from 1982 America cup. There was some arguments there about hydrofoil state. But for sailing I think the you need have a lifting upwards force to be considered a hydrofoil. Would love to see a sailing hydrofoil build there are so many variation in hydrofoiling sailing I love it

[@canidhal1234]

I would love to see an imoca but I don't know how possible that is

[@gokselaras9002]

I made a boat with 1 power core which is one underwater propeller with the top speed of 278 kmh and easily goes up to 250 kmh even in short distances. ( No glitches or bugs, full aerodynamics ) Edit: For the ones who wanna test the name of the boat is: 1 Prop 277-8 kmh boat

Can u make the Curtiss-Goupil Duck in trailmakers or scrap mechanic, would be cool and would fit in ur series of recreating failed designs

[@morrow2869]

11:28 that crash was beyond the speed of light

[@user-ud8zy2dv1k]

a hydrofoil is defined by its use of airfoils submerged in water to provide a minor amount of lift, enough to push everything but the wings themselves, and the underwater propellers, out of the water for minimum drag. a catamaran is defined by the ship possessing multiple hulls resting in the water, rather than a single hull, that together provide more stability. if a regular boat is a wide wheeled motorbike, then a catamaran is a car if that makes sense. something interesting is the idea of the ekranoplan, which as far as i am aware is the official name since the only other one i know of is 'ground effect vehicle'. this is basically what happened when you take a hydrofoil, and give it enough lift to bring the wings out of the water as well, since water resistance is affected by how much of the ship rests in the water, if the ship lifts out of the water completely, there is nothing for water to resist. the result is a 'too fat to fly properly' aircraft.

[@floppy8960]

[@tropicalvikingcreations]

The comments already did a decent job and Scrapman seems to get the idea so there was no need for me to comment but I wanted to anyway XD. But yeah basically catamaran is a multihull body while a hydrofoil is a hull being lifted out of the water by wing surfaces. Not all of those were hydrofoils as there was no lifting wing body but instead used a plane effect, which is very different an just makes it a speedboat.

[@TheOfficialMadCat]

I have an idea for a MM challenge there are 3 ways to do my Idea. 1 you all make planes with 1 pilot and 1 gunner and either make your own 1 person plane or use the same one person plane. 2 you all use the same 2 person plane and you make your own 1 person plane. 3 if you have 4 people you could all make 2 person planes and do a battle. The way you win is which ever team lives the longest and the way to win the first 2 is to shoot down the enemy 2 person plane in with the fastest time. 4th time posting this and if you think its a good idea can you please like this.

[@paritybit7830]

For that rocket hydrofoil, I'm gonna say the backwards cockpit is totally on purpose. I'm betting the creator is a keyboard & mouse player who wants and expects W to be up and S to be down. At the least, the built-in flight control drives me crazy for that exact reason... I hate flying with keyboard and will grab the controller if I get into anything that uses cockpit flight control. Maybe I was blind, but I couldn't find anywhere to change the control scheme, and on keyboard I really expect W to pitch up and S to pitch down. Pull back to pitch up and push forward to pitch down feels natural on a controller, but on keyboard... up=down/down=up just doesn't work for me, not on arrow keys and not on WASD. When I can I'll always flip it. Similarly on controller I always have forward=look down/back=look up, regardless of whether it's a character or vehicle that I'm controlling in the game. ... also, it's just possible that the creator actually does use a controller, and has just been trained by too many RPG games that forward=down and back=up, which is the default orientation for basically all of them anymore, much to my annoyance. But I tend to keyboard & mouse whenever possible except when driving vehicles... when driving vehicles the analog controls are, IMO, really desirable.

[@rainbouncebecable5047]

I am not an expert on boats, but last time I checked catamarans just have two hulls on the sides of the main body rather than normal boats having the one hull under the main body. So technically a regular catamaran would not be classified as a hydrofoil because they are not wings and they don't lift it out of the water any more that where it is at standstill sitting in the water

[@Snarfyy]

A catamaran has two boat hulls and works like a normal boat, a hydrofoil (like an aerofoil on a plane) is a wing that uses fluid dynamics to lift the hull(s) out of the water. A catamaran would not count as it wouldn’t have any hydrofoils and the hills would still be in the water

At 3:00 the glider kind of seems like a flying fish to me they're fish that their tail moves extremely quickly and they launch up into the air and glide and as soon as they hit the water because of how they're how fast their tail is moving it basically launches them up again so that's what it basically seems to me as if they made a flying fish that a human could control and ride in

[@lemontrout9434]

the catamaran at 6min is plaining rather than hydrofoiling basically the shape of the hull pushes the water underneath pushing the boat up meaning that you have less resistance and go faster more efficiently and fun fact if your hydrofoil comes out of the water (unintentionally) u will almost most certainly pitch pole (capsizing but forwards) edit look up the nacra 17 for a hydro foiling catamaran
