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.

Trailmaker's building system is getting more powerful every day. It's so so easy to build what you want. This update is just another step in that direction.

[@roelieboy204]

Idea: Vehicle battle. Just build anything that will hopefully get you the win. Let's see Howmush destruction we can see when you're only limited to your imagination (and the 700 block limit). Maybe build a plane with 5 of every weapon? Maybe build a truck with 20 miniguns on the back. Or maybe build a submarine that can fly so you can hide under the water. I think it's will be fun too see what everyone comes up with.

[@A_Panzer_VI]

[@alienwarmachine6011]

When the new DLC comes out, you should revisit your 20-block jet pack battle. I think that would be fun and interesting, not just from a thrust and control viewpoint, but possibly from a new weapons one as well.

[@homevids]

Another thing they need to add is a greater variety of wedge and triangular blocks. The selection currently is way too prohibitive. Many will want to make Star Destroyers and other wedgy craft and there needs to be sufficient shape and dimension variety to accomplish this. This is really applicable for the space environment.

[@TlalocTemporal]

Scalable wedges like Robocraft would be great.

[@user-bm3jy6el7e]

agreed, especially with aerodynamics and unlimited speed and whatnot

[@XShadowCatzX]

I haven’t finished the video yet, but the gyro sounds like it’s the trailmakers version of a rocket’s SAS system. I wonder if we’ll be able to “bind” directional mini thrusters to it in order to amplify it’s effect on larger craft. This would be the game’s version of RCS. I can’t wait to see what else this update adds

[@Elijah1573]

I hope thats the case Id love to do the entire map without the quantum rudder and instead use only gyro/directional thrusters like found in games like Star citizen or Elite dangerous

Re-Energized booster jets would be good. You have places on the map that act as Energy sources. When you are close to an energy source, the boosters recharge. When you use the boosters they deplete, and when empty they are non-functional until you travel back to the energizer zones. This could add a lot to gameplay. The option of having a fuel block would be terrific as well. When there is a fuel block, then fuel is limited and when you are on empty, all your engines run at minimum thrust, eg. With fuel 500kph 100%, without fuel 100kph 20%. Maybe have a session option to set minimum thrust. Then one can have refueling ports as well - something like a Space Gate to fly through. This would be so awesome. *-*

[@user-vt2vj9ot1o]

I think the cool thing about new thruster is the position of connection points on the back

I think the "speed" limit will probably be when the time it takes for you to cross the entire map is lesser than the time it takes for the game to process that you have to warp to the other side Basically you're gonna collide with yourself

[@TlalocTemporal]

Which is surprisingly the same limitation as a real closed universe has. As you approach the speed of light, your length gets syreched out until you rear-end your future/past self!

[@konstantinospentespitis9691]

Given the game is on old gen I'm going to safely assume it will just have a speed limit cap given the hardware limitations

[@ladontyhon7806]

@ScrapMan i hope the artificial drag blcok can be turn off mid flight so when your in a space you can chose to go super fast and then enable it to slow down really fast that what i hope

[@irrelevantsafety]

It looks like I should be able to, fingers crossed

[@user-kf2lw1hv5i]

i only have one hope for this, and that’s they have options for lost in space style quests, fetching potentially massive cargo with your freighters, and space combat, maybe even defending your or an ai’s cargo on its way to somewhere else. really flesh it out

[@dayt0potat0]

Kerbal space program + trailmakers = best collab. Literally my two favorite games

[@homevids]

It would be great if there was a session option that enabled a player to set the magnetism of asteroids to on or off. In other words you can use a magnet on an asteroid to capture and drag them off somewhere else. Maybe have it so that the bigger the asteroid the more magnets one needs.

[@dopebossgamerz]

I love that there's the option for realistic and unrealistic space.

[@Herpdongs]

i cant wait to see the creations you're gonna make with this update.

[@rudolf_box8440]

Cant wait for the new update

[@victorlau]

Same

[@homevids]

Yet another nice addition would be a cargo door which opens and shuts on keypress. A circular cargo door, a large square one and a flat rectangular one would be perfect. This would be excellent functionality and save us from hitting the complexity limit. Also it would be most excellent to have many collectibles dotted around the space map, that are just suspended in space, and one has to collect them and bring them back to wherever. .... and then a have the option to reset the collectibles so one can speedrun the collecting. I would enjoy this immensely. Cargo doors would be a must for this. ;)

that crude 3d animation for a simple explanation was great

[@dshadows2966]

Space races through the asteroid field would be disastrous, funny and disastrously funny.

[@DemonKing19951]

I feel like the reason the thruster is categorized as inertia is probably going to have to do with control. It might be able to orientate it's thrust somewhat in the direction your travelling.

[@dylanlamprecht3406]

I love the way that flashbulb makes space their own with the planets and physics and mechanics

[@WhyAmITakingTimeToDoThat]

7:46 the gyro stabilizer has a triangle attachment point on the top

[@jacksonstarky8288]

I think this will be a great update for any single-wheeled or two-wheeled vehicles... and by "two-wheeled" I mean either motorcycle-type vehicles or single-axis vehicles like the Segway featured in a recent Scrap Mechanic video on this channel. I'm really looking forward to seeing what can be done with some previous builds, especially the motorcycle and the various beyblade-inspired creations, particularly the spinning bomber.

[@syathonjr]

Cool challenge idea: you should try and break the sound barrier in a planets atmosphere!

[@user-qj9mx1cv4s]

Hey scrapman ive been a really big fan of you for a really long time and i love ur vids hope u hit 1m soon 😊

[@itsvinilol]

I blinked and now there is creation in space on trailmakers

[@martinleland3969]

Yesss revisiting those battles is gonna be great can't wait

[@Thesandyman113]

I have an idea!: it would be stationery "bases" with explosive drone launchers, and with the new gyro blocks, you could more easily stabilize said drones. You could get however many people, and essentially try to destroy others bases with your drones full of dynamite. Only a suggestion 🙂, and in my opinion could use a touch of refinement

[@Hidden83]

I love ur vids best trailmakers and scrap mechanic KZbinr ever

[@sophiethesame]

I think it would be interested to see you try and make a shuttle without the inertia blocks, or even try to battle with them

[@allengrove1864]

Honestly just the fact that were getting this update this year is insane to me

[@pratisthaniroula2055]

VIDEO IDEA: when the space update comes out, since there in theoretically no speed limit, try to go at the speed of light

[@jmank121]

I’m excited to see all the possibilities of multiplayer battles that can happen after this update! So many options with their being multiple moons and gravities as well as space and the new blocks. Trailmakers is such an awesome game!

[@GoshkaPolska]

You can think if the gyro and inertia block like space craft RCS, Gyro helps with keeping space craft from spining uncontrolably like IRL Computer guided RCS systems and Inertia block is just Counter thrust to keep your speed in check also like IRL Computer guided RCS systems. Like the way they have done it so far because although it may look difrent, it works with similar ideas to that of CCCP or NASA Space Program Tech used to asist pilot/astronaughts in zero G-space flight

[@SuperEthan5.]

what i look forward to building in the next update, is funnily something thats shown up once or maybe twice on the channel before, but in instruments of destruction, a boss form Calamity mod called the Devourer of Gods, i think itll be a pretty cool build

[@ezra5154]

Trailmakers devs are so good they work round the clock to bring to huge updates within practically 6 months

[@Hlebuw3k]

This is amazing! I love how they gave us the best of both realism AND fiction!

[@cheesiestmaster879]

15:07 even with the looping map, you can theoretically break out of the map if your velocity is greater than D where D is the Diameter of the map

[@justadude7455]

I think flashbulb are approaching space pretty well, with the one major annoyance being the "moons" not being spherical with gravity all around. Can't wait for the "Plane catches car" challenge but with the 'plane' traveling at the speed of light

[@A_Steam_User]

the gyro stabillizer might not be useful to many, but for space stations it will be awesome, for example an attack satellite that throws bombs using pistons down into the atmosphere, so basically orbital bombardment. im definitely going to use it.

[@lad3523]

I wonder if when the update drops if there’s going to be a sort of light barrier where if it’s possible to go that fast you either disappear and die or turn into energy and or light.

[@calcium_skeleton]

I can’t wait to see what you come up with

[@pichuispro4432]

I can already think of space battles with the quantum rudder where it gets destroyed on someone’s craft

[@Blackbirdtree1]

Scrapman’s next video: Breaking the light barrier using only propellers!

[@isntthatnice.2148]

As someone who's spent a good amount of time in just about every building game PID with the dampening from the gyros sounds very possible and essentially that means perfect logic based stability no more twitching or such

[@PyroRobo]

High five to ScrapMan's editor! Well done.

[@madmimika1973]

It would be interesting to see a space battle with realistic space physics vs arcade physics. The realistic side would be allowed more blocks and power cores to make up for the disadvantage.

[@logicbuilder1204]

KSP player walks in:

[@-user_redacted-]

This update looks like it's exactly what I need to finally finish my jet hovercar I gave up on months ago. Also given he said the size is increased big time it'll also be a chance to build some Elite Dangerous ships. I tried a smaller one before, and even it was too big.

[@steeljawX]

Here's one that the stabilizing gyro will be absolutely king at. Sailing battles on the Deep Seas map. Sails have always been.....meh. Like it's been really hard to balance them in the force they give, the roll effect they shove onto you, and that forcing you to make basically a catamaran for every sailing ship. With the stabilizing gyro, it'll be a bit easier to keep it upright, the keel can actually work more like a keel instead of being a weighted counter balance to the sail's roll force, and we might be able to finally get decent pirate ship battles going on. But you should also take it to space and do capital ship battles. Either team capital ships or free for all, but it'd be awesome. The stabilizing gyro will also help with beyblades and I think it could also make a "uncontrolled glider" distance challenge possible. Just based on weight distribution, aerodynamics, and lift distribution, having every thing be unpowered and having a consistent launch mechanism, you basically have something akin to a paper airplane throwing competition and it goes whereever it goes. No controlling it for extra distance or lift. You can try adding some programming mcguffin to auto activate, but there's no guarantee it'll work or do much because you'll have to add a stabilizing gyro to pitch and a fairly weak one to roll. That'd be a fun one.

[@chiiyon]

Finally! My dream of space bowling in Trail Makers will become a reality!

[@W0B0N]

I wonder if you will be able to build your own custom maps with space atmosphere. I can already see someone making the death star a playable map. Really looking forward to this as a scifi fan.

[@n0b0dy15]

Editor goated for using 3D models for the explanation

[@theldraspneumonoultramicro405]

you and the gang, 4 way spaceship battle among the asteroids, no inertia blocks, perhaps also limit it to first person only? a true test to your skills! previously you have had a battle on a wall, how about next a battle on the underside of a planet? also another idea: upside down boat battle in first person on the sea map, and since its up side down, the controls of course need to be reversed, so left is right and righht is left.

[@moroblizniak4457]

5:25 Damn this animation.... Who did that? Very helpfull for newbies.

[@martinleland3969]

A no inertia blocks battle is gonna be hilarious I can't wait for this update to come out

[@jeremybunn1402]

Multi-player battle Each round you can add 10 parts. Starting round is max of something like 10 parts. Or adjust for smallest amount to make functional. Each round is one battle with each weapon set.

[@Drave_Jr.]

I'm amazed they have so much done already they believe they can get it out by November

[@justliam6848]

Space ucav's would be cool. I wonder if quantum rudders could be toggled so that high g turns could happen and stabilization could reoccur for homing missles

Finally, Scrapman is the only KZbinr that said “it acts like a tail fin”. That’s the exact thing I say to others when they ask me about it. :)

[@Necromorph790]

Im glad they went realistic, cause giving us the options to add that to our crafts will completely diversify the capabilities of builds in space, compared to just another situation where they are "planes but in space" Makes me happy we can just add many more gyros and it should in theory make it easier to rotate. Okay orbit not being in though doesnt make a whole lot of sense, if you have any gravity holding you there, you would be able to orbit the celestial body.. huh? Looks like we can use backwards thrust to dampen inertia too maybe? Idk how exactly that would be programmed into things

Star wars squadrons lookin’ kind off strange today😂 14:47

[@m.h.6470]

My guess for how the game will react, if you drive "off" a big asteroid: The "down" gravity will persist for a bit, so you will fall down, but eventually it will switch to no gravity. Essentially what I am assuming, is that the "down" gravity is like a bubble around the asteroids. If you go below the asteroid, gravity still points downwards (away from the asteroid) instead of towards the center of the asteroid. Otherwise orbits would be possible.

[@Crazyclay78YT]

16:32 it seems when you fly away from the planet, the gravity drops off REALLY quickly, look at the gravity sensor in the corner

[@WarFish_Sardini]
