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.

I honestly wouldn't mind if ScrapMan made a video about practicing aesthetic building, but it's just a thought.

[@superproduce]

I agree. It would probably be both interesting and funny.

[@kacperkonieczny7333]

Yeah, and have it be a collab with Yzuei cause he's a good builder

[@turtlemaster872]

@@kacperkonieczny7333 He actually already did a collab with Yzuei where Scrap built for form and Yzuei built for function. That was when he built the forward-swept wing that he mentions at 3:12.

[@kacperkonieczny7333]

@@turtlemaster872 I know. I meant that Yzuei would tutor him about how to build and show him a few techniques

Yes, agreed it would be nice to watch and if yzuie was with him it would also be funny

[@KingDeadMan]

1:25 Droop-Limiters=Anti-Squat. It's a thing in drag racing or in any motorsports which the rear shocks are weight jacked, so to combat traction loss, anti-squat bars are installed to give the rear more traction to the road surface.

[@FailRaceFan]

18:33 It's so realistic, it even simulates falling over in the same way as many modern racing games like forza horizon 5!

[@Rocketcraft7167]

Yeah

5:30 You can get your right click logic gate on the workshop, people make those using controller or something, you can have it any time.

[@kacperkonieczny7333]

I think it could also be done by editing the blueprint, but png is a binary format so it would be hard, yet maybe it would be readable in a hex editor. /just me brainstorm how to do it on a pc

[@user-qp2ju3gz7j]

Still waiting for the house reveal scrapman way too late for it

[@schweinonline]

Thanks for looking at my Build! Yeah, alt is breaks and shift is air brakes, that how you slow down, don't know what happened to the Yaw. Would be great if you read at least the controls.

[@abdulmateenahmed4339]

Little idea here… You can do like a race on the airborne map (the part with the dunes and pirate speeders) and it’s kind of like a Dakar/dune buggy/ off-road type race, with a bit of that Scrapman challenge spice sprinkled (shooting, rockets, only allowed to use boost when last, piece limits, power core limits, sabotage…etc.

[@60NineK]

I’m excited for the update, got trailmakers last week and have 40 hours of gameplay so far, learning the ropes and hope to make some really cool things eventually with time, I can’t compete with some of these though haha

[@kacperkonieczny7333]

I bought Trailmakers this summer and I got 196 hours, if I didn't attend school I would have more than double. Have fun playing.

[@Gamer12666]

I had it back when it was on gamepass, definitely going to buy the game and DLCs when I can. I play a lot of Space Engineers and used to play a lot of Crossout, and the building is by far my favorite parts of both (SE's survival mode is quite fun too) but Trailmakers has that freedom to build whatever, whenever that scratches that builders itch.

[@60NineK]

@@Gamer12666 I wish there were some more freedoms to block shapes, like merging an angle with a curved piece exc

[@joshuacreevey7415]

I got 30 days of playtime and trust me man, I was just like you and still learning how everything works. But I kept playing and got better and better. So you WELL get better in time

[@5folklore]

If they resolve the wheel clipping into the map issue, that'd make me happy. Just doing that would help with some of my own builds, sometimes I like building things with low ground clearance, but the clipping issues has my creation scraping against the ground or destroying itself with an odd bounce.

[@TheEnemy10225]

They said in the dev diary that it is only a graphical fix, amd the actual clipping is still an issue

[@5folklore]

That's disappointing. Honestly, they should just leave the graphical glitch in if the clipping issue is still going to be a thing, that way it's obvious when it's happening. I'd rather know it's happening when I spawn in the creation versus when I try to use the creation.

[@a.w.5682]

That Bugatti Bolide is absolutely incredible. I love cars and am a huge huge fan of Bugatti and that is an insane replica of the Bolide

[@jakubpollak2067]

For editor: at 16:50 he meant synchro-copter, helicopter with rotors that are angled and look like they are about to collide with each other en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermeshing-rotor_helicopter Chinook have two tandem rotors at which are at different height, so they never hit each other

[@kacperkonieczny7333]

Yeah, he said "not Chinook but other"

[@LateToSocialMedia]

"a nice landing" moment had me cackling maniacally. Well done, Scrap Man and editor both! (is there an editor?)

[@marianijamal2145]

7:30 You need to make the build as stable as possible and use a speed sensor at the lowest setting higher than 0 ( i use 0.1 ) and link the speed sensor to some thrusters and it might work

[@tylermatheson4376]

Idk why but the last build was my favorite but not because it was cool how the parts fit together but because of how the physics worked on it lol

[@SivaMacca]

I'm so proud about the fact that I built a 0 powercore bipedal walker. But when I see others walkers I'm still like wow, how did he put that much work into the looks

[@paulburmester6572]

By the way To be able to use your mouse axis as an input, you need to connect a controller to your pc and set the R joystick axis to the controls you like and then switch over to your mouse. And I believe to set the right mouse button, you have to set the controls on the controller to R1 and then switch over to mouse…

[@Loop_Kat]

7:35 Maintaining a super stable altitude like this works best with gimbal jets (as seen on this cube) because they accelerate to max speed pretty much instantaneously. The setup is super simple though, just place a speed sensor facing downward, set the activation speed to 0.1 (full 0 may work for heavier creations, but it tends to add vertical lift otherwise), and either point it at an AND gate to give it an on/off toggle or just point it at the gimbals directly

[@kacperkonieczny7333]

Also rocket and mini thruster have almost instant max speed

[@Loop_Kat]

@@kacperkonieczny7333 Also true, just didn't wanna make my comment too long. That said, the gimbals still offer more thrust for this particular use case and operate more smoothly due to their permanent vertical alignment

[@q370p]

speed sensor pointing up, 0kph, trigger below.

[@Strelizia_TM]

Strelizia here. SO, you were right about how the engine looks and should work, but on the actual SeaWasp the rear blades are both bigger and mounted several centimeters higher, so they don't collide. And the version of SeaWasp I sent you is the best could be done before Spaceborne is out and I have some sweet upgrades to do then. P.S.: Its funny how I saw exactly what each part of the Bugatti Bolide build mode was meant to do. I guess I have no life and too much TM playtime for my small brain. P.P.S.: I forgot to mention SeaWasp has a first person view.

[@kivi6312]

nice

[@60NineK]

Ok thats pretty cool your build got featured! I can’t compete. yet

[@daniel_77.]

asking scrapman to build a machine that pushes one building into another one, like a domino, in instruments of destruction

[@suicidalbanananana]

The trick to getting nice hovers is (afaik/in my experiments) by having multiple inputs for your thrusters/gimbals instead of having separate thrusters/gimbals for it. The reason this works as well as it does is that there seems to be some sort of change over time instead of an instant change. (if you input 0.8 and then 1.0, 'internally' it will go from 0.8 to 0.81 to 0.82 etc instead of straight to 1.0, this slower change smoothing out stuff will achieve really solid hover controls) When i play this in multiplayer i notice that a lot of people seem to completely neglect the fact that you can change signal strength and have multiple things go into one engine/thruster/whatever, very few builds seem to use this. Imagine a system with 3 logic gates, one outputs 0.6 when the machine is on, one outputs 0.2 if Ctrl is NOT pressed, one outputs 0.2 if Shift is pressed, all 3 of those connect to the same thruster/gimbal/propellor/whatever, then balance the weight and/or values accordingly so that default + not-pressing-control makes it hover perfectly. I've made several really nice quadcopters with this, with the most complex one having no heli engines or anything, but full 6DOF control just by changing the speed of 4 small propellers pointing up. (uses like 20+ logic gates haha) Sadly it doesn't seem to be able to make a "real" heli like this (one with a swashplate, single main and tail rotor that change speeds, etc) Because sadly this requires some actual math to work and we can't do that ☹the best "real heli" i've managed did have a single rotor and tail rotor working, but needed additional heli engines for controls & just constantly wanted to strafe sideways because the 'air physics' aint good enough, trying to make a swashplate is a great way to cause a vehicle to randomly explode or crash Trailmakers.

[@user-xl9ic8qh2j]

Scrapman:"Ow. It`s not chinook, other thing" *then show us chinook* You meant K-MAX Helicopter.

[@sadcrab_5349]

yeah, that got a chuckle out of me

[@felion_]

What if you did bouncing battle? Battling but with vehicles that are constantly bouncing

[@willardmullard3211]

8:03 Wait till Reed captain makes a fully functional harley motor cycle engine.

[@fuery.]

Can't believe my walker was featured! Had a lot of fun making it. Keep making the great content!

[@AoxTheGardener]

That jumping, with the buggy at the beginning. The back end flying up while going over jumps. One of the main reasons there's different weight shock oils and different tuning in R/C cars, and I imagine full scale cars as well. If you make the rear springs softer, or the oil more viscous, you affect the rebound off the jump.

[@charlesaquiler1725]

11:42 It stands for "Guardians of the Galaxy".

[@blackoak4978]

From what I understand, the reverse swept wing in rl is more efficient, but very touchy. It requires continuous active compensation during manoeuvres, so will probably become more common as AI becomes more reliable in aviation

[@BlockyCraft-oo6ji]

i actually redesigned the kv-2 mech to something futuristic-flying-jumping-diving-walking. it is pretty fun to use, the best thing is the mechanical+jet powered combo jump drive

[@SieraAsSyarif]

Hey scrapman I have suggestions for multiplayer race: Race with heavy load truck (basically make a truck that capable to race and load, idk 2 ton maybe)

[@SieraAsSyarif]

yes

[@johnderat2652]

Music at 12:25 sounds like "Journey" from the Destiny 2 OST

[@jacksonstarky8288]

About the F5 model: I was reading something online about Trailmakers control configuration, and Trailmakers apparently doesn't provide a right-click option in the control settings, but there are other ways to create a right-click binding. I need a new PC before I can play the game, but the details should be easy to find online.

[@pamelagoncalves4376]

Can't just not say it. 😂 14:35 I'm sure ScrapMan has heard that before... so sorry, couldn't resist

[@AnasatisTiMiniatis]

The hovercube gave me an idea: Kenetics only ground battle. No explosives or guns. Dispensers, melee, and manually constructed projectile weapons allowed.

[@justliam6848]

The precision hovering can be done by speed sensors aiming down or just a ton of xors and ands

[@fawzijeziri7101]

i have 2 multiplayer ideas 1- have a walker battle 2- a workshop build battle (every player can choose his vehicle)

[@Type3Kiryu]

I think why many builds with yaw just morph it into a worse roll is because the center of yaw is not aligned with the center of mass. It's usually from the top with jets that use the middle fin/fins for yaw. The same thing as taking away a pitch control surface from one side of a plane.

[@atacstringer8573]

That's some crazy awesome builds

[@maiyv2105]

Funny how you did almost the exact same thing with a Harley in a previous one of these videos!! 😂

[@cadethedoggo]

while you were flying that inverted sweep plane I noticed that the rock arch seems very flat, What if you were to make a challenge where your goal is to build a large plane similar in size to the stunt planes and your goal is to land on that little strip, the main idea being finding a creative way to land while also being able to take off from it

[@Carzer1]

You should do a battle with tanks with zero gravity or flying boat fights

[@aonodensetsu]

that heli with overlapping blades is totally possible, they are called intermeshing rotors, and they're synced up mechanically to miss the blades even at high speed

[@DoritoMan177]

You should actually do your worst builds, Christmas themed holiday holiday special! Yzuei could join you.

[@fredrickbambino]

[@JumaKamakura]

Imagine a build that is so great, that it is only on a one space block

[@user-uo6vf2kv4n]

to make the variable height hover you use a down-facing speed sensor set to 0 kph/mph triggering the thruster and put a or Gate set to -1 output with the key you want to set to down and there you go

[@kacperkonieczny7333]

Linking the speed sensor to an "and" gate is better, but negative "or" gate is okay for gimbals
