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.

[@yuvrajdas9552]

Yea, me 2

[@devarious1988]

Knowing the game and track as a leaderboard racer for muscle league, sub 19s or even sub 20s glitchless is pretty impressive for supersonic. Don't beat yourself up man, this is definitely hard enough to go any faster, and the build's pretty optimized and you could potentially grind away to get near or under 18s flat. Give it a day or two and you'll be well into top 1% by default. Judging by the other Holograms, you might be a world record candidate for a "legit" flier right now. ^v^ PS: One thing i like to do to keep motivated is once grinding for places gets rougher, grinding for goal times might become more approachable. For funsies, themed racers can also be a fun pastime.

[@ForgedInKaos]

ScrapMan, for me personally, the camera/view has alot to do with my performance on races. I utilize that new (old) camera 8 view and the camera stays straight with your creation so you dont have to move your view around while racing.

[@cogs_and_gears]

Sticky orbit?

[@Subway_00]

Ah that's interesting, I actually prefer using my mouse to look from checkpoint to checkpoint

[@ForgedInKaos]

@npc_variant_gstfs can't remember the name but I think its different from sticky orbit. It's that one they added back it's cam #8 app I remember

[@Loop_Kat]

Camera 8 is "behind the seat" camera which is very similar to camera 7 (sticky orbit), but whereas camera 7 maintains a global orientation independent of your vehicle, camera 8 sticks to the local orientation (pitch, roll, yaw) of your seat

[@gengarisnotinsmash...]

I like to use the orbit camera like usual, but I zoom in very close to myself, great for precision if you want to line yourself up perfectly, and you can pre turn the camera to make it even easier to set up the next turn. Doing sticky orbit or other camera angles either makes the fov way too small, or makes it difficult to line up turns over 90°.

[@Alex-ms6ku]

I think it would be healthy for the game overall to make detachable blocks use power cores to restrict zero drag builds to higher power classes.

Those who didn't see the object remain skeptical, with some even asserting that it may have been a mass-hallucination event induced by raucous partygoers indulging in expired seeds"

[@Echo_the_half_glitch]

Heh, silly chirpos

[@dan212_cz6]

I tried building a plane for this challenge aswell. For me the answer was space thrusters. In Jet League with 15pc i managed 21.93 sec, and in Super Sonic League i was able to knock that number down to 17.61 sec. This was the first challenge i attempted that i took for real. Thanks for your videos, it was only beacouse of them that i was able to place this high. Keep up the great content.

[@centarian2559]

My one comment throughout the entire video is: PUT ON SOME FREAKING WINGS!!!! And I don't just mean stabilizers I mean lift wings They will immensely stabilize your craft in the vertical direction and prevent it from losing speed swerving up and down, they would allow you to stay level. Not to mention, putting on powered fins would also help. If you notice, the top craft puts on wings in every direction, ensuring stability at high speeds If you make a box winged plane with thrust in the center it would immensely increase your controllability.

[@maxrowe13]

True but the wings add drag. Not really like you need to be as streamline for this race but you know.

[@tjavado]

i agree, although at these speeds tailfins work better than wings

[@ShawnF6FHellcat]

I thought so too, but my reasoning was to stop losing acceleration from drifting every time he turns.

[@Pystro]

[@trueNahobino]

Loving these videos you've been making on the new racing tracks, can't wait to see more!

[@Shadow4wolf]

I won't lie, I think this is just a fun race to run in general, top 3%(sub 24s) in formula league without any glitches. Just a decent tuned plane, with gyros. Because wings were not fast enough for the speed, but certainly helped with control and, with the bends, probably benefit pretty well to say "go that way". I could maybe at most shave a second on time without a new design, but I'm not worrying that much about being the top. It was just fun to run it a few times. I'll never forget a "ground" race that didn't stick you on the ground, I ended up being 2nd place on it. By using a plane. That was some precision flying for sure, probably hours of trying to get a good run. Sadly, leaderboards are cleared from time to time, so I don't think my run is still there.

[@knux64]

the reason why I watch your evolution is to see a evolution of the vehicles you can take each disjoin and have a hour long video of customizing and evolving all participants. your the guru.

[@CarnoCaptain13]

you should be proud scrapman! you got that high of a ranking WITHOUT USING GLITCHES, i swear, if you dont considder yourself a pro, i dont know what will. once again you make us as vieuwers proud to your capabilities both in the game but also in creating fantastic content!

Yeah that was quite the feat from Scrapman, if he ever does get in the top 1% chance legit then he can freely say "Suck it cheaters!" lol.

[@flighttrain71]

Day 5: Perhabskis one person builds a plane with propulsion and has to pull a glider up into the air. After detaching in the air the plane with propulsion has to land on the glider. Idealy the glider lands on the aircraft carrier or island...

[@PixeIWorks]

As number 2 of Eagles Run Super Sonic League (At the moment of commenting) with a 17.03 and on controller, I will tell you how me and number one are that fast. We are both using a method of propulsion using gravity pads that isn't unlike the ufo glitch. number 1 is using drag glitches (same with number 3) and also using skis (Perhapskis?!?!?) on detachable blocks to get a large amount of speed of start. I personally have also spent 6+ hours trying to get the perfect run because like scrap said in 8:54, its just maneuverability and control.

[@ShawnHCorey]

GG. IF you want a race with your friends, try a triathlon. You have3 vehicles, one for water, one for land, and one for air.

[@thesunnynationg]

8:00 air brakes on the sides for sharper turning. like flaps you can activate independently, don't bind them into the steering.

Lad just completely forgot about quantum rudders

[@triviavanille62]

he always forgets those exist unless hes building for space

[@tylerphuoc2653]

Quantum rudders have tons of drag even when going straight. They still better than small drag blocks?

[@TheMudManReal]

To answer your question at 1:51 :Preemptive regret is often referred to as "anticipatory regret." This term describes the feeling of regret or remorse about a decision or action before it actually takes place. Anticipatory regret involves imagining future scenarios and outcomes, often focusing on potential negative consequences, which can influence decision-making and behavior.

[@88ThePilot]

I only recently found your channel, and I'm loving it! I'm currently working on making a hit & miss engine in trailmakers, and I'd love to see you try your hand at it 🙂

[@Sir_1976]

Regret before hand... pregret 2:38

[@solana2301]

The fact that in this video Scrapman casually broke the sound barrier atleast 4 times.

[@TheLightLOD]

For the last race I actually expect something amphibious, maybe hovercrafts or so? Also top 1 is always difficult, unless you know the correct cheese strategy to get there you'll hit a wall that you can't beat. You made some great attempts through :)

[@Taddezz]

“I might need to use some wings” said scrap man in the jet race

[@qwerty-od4lg]

Parhapskies you should do this on all the races

[@AnasatisTiMiniatis]

Hear me out. Thrust vectoring. Seriously, it helps so much with turning at higher speeds and maintaining speed through the turns.

[@AbyDan19]

It might not help much, or not help at all, but maybe try using quantum rudders? It might hurt in top speed but your biggest issue is control.

[@FlyingNoodle554]

These crash compilations are killing me 😂

[@patnuthammachote]

In this episode Scrap Man makes a missile.

[@DanyF02]

You could make your vehicle feel a lot better by also adding static vertical and horizontal stabilizers at the back even if you also use some that moves for controls, and even if they're in line with the plane without adding any drag arrows. That way it'll naturally want to point in the direction of your momentum without having to counter-correct as much, making both your life easier and sending thrust more in the right direction along the way. Btw, I'm currently 3rd on formula league (12.73 seconds) using UFO engines (hoverpad glitch) and yes from what I can see here everyone at the top is using some form of glitch. Some obviously use no-drag and I even saw a weird 4 servos design that seems to be attached to itself somehow to serve as engine but no idea how that works.

[@lavarsch]

REgret is basically the feeling after you "gret" something. Gret isn't a word that is used anymore, but Gret is basically "desire" but not really.

[@JaymerFIll]

everytime Scrap man shows the thumbnail of showing his 1st built to final built, I'm always waiting for that point of the video where he realizes the thing h need to get to the final build :V amazing anticipation

[@Taloth1969]

It seemed like you were trying to fly a school bus through an obstacle course. Maybe a smaller profile would help. Regardless, great job. Way better than I could do.

[@pdimp3573]

Perhapskis bulding a plane intead of a non-space rocket would help with control, but still amazing

Perhapskis the next race is gonna be a hovercraft one

[@chickenychickens07]

Tip: Powered tail fins in the front and back can conserve speed.

[@Pumpnineteen]

I feel like quantum rudders might have been very helpful here, since you need to change your momentum vector so much

[@michaelevans5765]

you should do evolution races on these tracks

[@nyscersul42]

You should set up your gyros to stabilise and stop any rotation of any kind the second you release your inputs, so that you can turn sharply, and not overcorrect, and, also, quite importantly, this would reduce the amount of time you spend flying sideways, which due to the size and length of the creation means your abilities for aerodynamics turn from high performance to the equivalent of throwing a brick wall. The ideal shape for this race is either a sphere, or a cube, since you turn and then need to thrust in different directions a lot. Every time you turn sharp you lose speed and the result is an unpredictable and unreliable flight path. Pick smaller engines, cluster them tightly. Make the aerodynamics equal-ish from all directions and you'll become a rocket that can fly as straight as a cannon ball, even after turning sharply.

[@AuronBarber-Hau]

Timelapse of failures and then the epic music kicks in

[@Squidditch]

Loving this series

[@calmpuppy1281]

Video idea: Make extremely tiny fighter planes Power core limit: 10 Block limit: 25 Weight limit: 150 kg If I can build a small fighter plane the size of a bush then so can you. Enough power cores for a thruster or 2 and maybe 2 guns. But for it to last longer I suggest only 1 gun and 1 thruster. (You can slightly change these limits in case there are any issues)

[@samuelcornett1307]

Yeah, at least the top 3 are all glitch in some way. Freeze frame at 15:27 clearly shows UFO engine and zero drag glitching for 2nd and 3rd place. Alvaroping1 is top in all tiers and I can't tell the mechanics, but I know in Drag Race and Centrifuge they used bionic glitches.

[@demsygaming2755]

OK, so I just got an idea from your armored car versus bomber plane video, except instead of bomber versus car it’s tank VS tank W separate control for the gunner seat. Another idea to add onto that is the gunner builds the turret and canon with a combined vehicle total of 250-300 block blocks?

[@thegamingbanana8679]

Bro took liberty in “Aircraft“😂😂😂

[@johnderat2652]

[@spray_cheese]

12:00 what if you instead turned that design flat. With the engines on the sides. Then you can have independent control over each side for turning. Kinda like tank steering.

[@wisewizard9552]

Would love it the last race will be for hovercrafts

[@werliestdasschon]

I think first place did a glitch where he increases his hit box with seats or parts that he instantly gets rid of when the race starts, you should look at it

[@Andrii-zc4dp]

Scrapman, you are using rockets only to save on drag, but it has a big issue, it can't really redirect your momentum, so on every turn you loose a chunk of it proportional to the sin(turn_angle). You need to add wings, so you can redirect your momentum. Also check out the winner's creation

[@moroblizniak4457]

I bet Top leaders use multiple glitches and its extremley unfair.

[@darkstar_sierra1588]

That's exactly what they use either Zero Drag, UFO Engine or Quantum Engines (For insane Acceleration) they don't like to play it legit that's why they should add a feature that locks out certain blocks from being used in specific races e.g Hover blocks and Detachable blocks disabled for Air Races. But however they won't block the Quantum rudder since it can be used for aircraft and other creations.

[@darkstar_sierra1588]

They use all of the glitches which enable them to achieve stupid speeds, glitches like Piston engine, UFO Engine and Quantum Engine. those people should be ashamed of themselves well hey at least us legit racers have the real bragging rights unlike the cheaters out there!.

[@mrblitzkrieg3376]

Perhapskis you could have made it UFO style or have the jets on the side to lower your side aerodynamics thus causing a smaller yaw turning radius with the adverse effect of the pitch being worse

[@Akuma_yuk1]

18:26 should have gone back to wings because the banking wings are way more efficient I suggest he try maybe 3 turbines (one in the back the others on a wing) then small jets to make it to the right league...semi big wings span

[@Mossycrusader]

If the turning gyros work like thrusters where the effect is stronger with more, then u should have added another turning gyro for more strength and maybe made it on a different key so u can have stronger turning and slight adjustments too (I couldn't remember if its gyro or servo, don't patronize me if I'm wrong)

[@juancho8105]

2nd evo was the best, you should made the tailfins thing in it
