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 suggest a Dogfight with perpendicular gravity. Instead of being pulled up or down, it's some arbitrary direction towards the horizon.

[@chickenychickens5154]

That would need a mod

[@icanonlyhave50charactersin30]

That would be exactly the same as regular gravity except taking off which would be weird and their would be a wall to one side but you could easily fly away from it.

[@cadethedoggo]

@@icanonlyhave50charactersin30not exactly but only if Gravity direction doesn’t affect how lift works, and if it doesn’t then one direction will grant more lift than the other and thus it will be funky

[@rycochu117]

Have they done reversed gravity dog fights before? Is that actually* possible?

[@lousilver3646]

@@rycochu117 i think it would be the same as a normal dogfight but with flying upside down, an upside down map and annoying takeoff, im pretty sure about this and correct me if i’m wrong but that would make a good video

[@legomaster6913]

scrapman's tank going as fast as yazui's 800kg fighter is scary asf

[@bbittercoffee]

I was so sure Yzuei would be going supersonic but was surprised how slow he was going too

[@GummieI]

tbf, SM did have 2 freaking rocket boosters, and a shitton of space engine, which are the 2 strongest type of engines AFAIK

[@fatlilbraindamagekid]

Scrapman should have used giros

[@winnerwannabe9868]

Scrapman did say at the beginning that Yzuei was going to build something beautiful, and he was going to build something functional.

Well it is only a big plane ...

[@DiamondPanda207]

If it ain’t supersonic it ain’t fast enough

[@Cole-nf2dx]

well yeah that’s slow for a plane,like commercial planes usually go 500mph

[@CausingBloom101]

​@@Cole-nf2dx Damn, and supersonic is 786mph

[@cephalopad]

I'm surprised that Scrapman didn't add gyros to his build for manoeuvrability redundancy.

[@user-uo6vf2kv4n]

yep that would have given him the controlability he needed

[@ShadowDrakken]

I love the "loser makes a single change" rule :D I also think that'd make a fun evolution challenge. Instead of everyone taking the winner's build, they keep their own build but loser gets to make a single change or upgrade and winner has to use their unmodified build.

[@imstupid6240]

This is an amazing idea!

[@juanelcrack1803]

Wasn't that already a video?

[@ShadowDrakken]

@@juanelcrack1803 not that I've seen, but I may have missed it? They've done a lot of evolution videos, but it's always just taking the winner and adding more stuff

[@lunar_moth777]

​@@ShadowDrakkenthey did do that scrap man won most of them so his didn't change much but kosmo's was almost completely different

[@guts60]

When building with shields, go into the shields’ advanced settings and select the option that has them off by default. Then build the vehicle, wait a sec, and then go back into build mode. Shields shouldn’t be in your way now

[@CTag81]

That build was an absolute beast but the weight really killed it's maneuverability. A lot of people forget about inertia, just because you can turn quickly doesn't mean you can change direction quickly.

[@justinpatterson5291]

Yazuzu had a hell of a fight this time. Though, it was a 3v1... Him vs Scrapman vs Himself (with rockets).

[@AI-it3bo]

yazuzuz. 😐

[@amgadpro]

That fight was so unfair for Yazuzu

[@justjay4586]

That's a 2 v 1 or 1 v 1 v 1, though

[@apersunthathasaridiculousl1890]

Poor yazuzu

[@koathekid8255]

@@justjay4586no Himself counts twice cause there’s himself and his own rockets that are both negatives

[@Vessekx]

@Scrapman, your issue with your tail being blown off is because the blocks are slightly sticking out of your shields. You tried shaping them too tightly.

[@AI-it3bo]

scrapman is like video game bosses which look terrifying but the player can defeat it

[@genericuser984]

like retro airplane shooters where the boss goes back and forth with some bullet-hell attack

[@agiliteka]

well he wasn't playing very well; it could've worked if he pulled vertical and extended more, using his power more than his manueverability...

[@lunar_moth777]

​@@agilitekaalso he was a little faster so he could've made distance and turn around

[@AWSOMESNAKES]

7:43 Hey Scrapman, if you set the shields to their ‘off by default’ setting, it will hide them during build mode. Edit: Also some sort of battle with rocket powered cars that are always active would be cool. That way, no breaks and chaos.

[@WMSAG]

Scrap man: it's probably not going to have any form. (Proceeds to make one of the best custom cockpits I've ever seen with the rest of the plane looking really good)

[@mordiaky]

remember the game where you are a turret on one side of the map and your opponent was a turret on the other side of the map, you had to adjust your angle and take one shot at a time and then re-adjust to try and knock your opponent out. Each round you have a choice to either move your turret or shoot, you could always adjust angle in the fire stage. You guys should try a challenge like this if it can be done.

[@GetMicrowaved]

shell shock?

[@jackkryder7740]

They already have with mortar trucks.

[@theoseym1368]

Long range targeting fights where both of them must fire at each other from far away using the new weapons in multiple environments. One on land, one underwater, one in the sky, and the last one in space.

[@user-ky3pw2zr5m]

She’ll shock

[@briishcabbage568]

You havent done anything with submarines lately, that could be fun.

[@noro_shinigami]

max complexity sub battle? :))

[@jocosesonata]

Submarine hide and seek. 1 big predator vs 3 small agile fishes. Ocean map, of course.

[@1987nightrap]

"Yeah we got power" explodes immediately

[@SoupRoutine]

I'd like to see this challenge translated to ground vehicles. It would be cool to see a couple massive super tanks do battle.

[@theminerboy5694]

Yesss and boats too.

[@dev0nklein]

This is basically the Duality of trailmaker builders

[@ragingstorm_15]

I think what happened with the wing damage was as they passed, yzuei fired a rocket inside of his shields and it hit the wing.

[@purplecyclonePC-music]

What really adds complexity is Servos, suspension, and wheels, the game really stress when you use a lot of those.

[@1stinAlice]

I suggest the same thing but with watercrafts or vessels instead

[@MageSkeleton]

That was fun to watch, it was a literal boss fight and Scrapman was the boss. There should be a rule though, no "levitating" stuff. Only aerodynamics.

[@-Hangry]

You should do a battle but every round you have to remove/replace blocks with a mire restricted selection!

[@leroyjenkinsreturns]

Mire?

[@5peciesunkn0wn]

They meant more.

[@riccardopetrina4212]

What about involution battle with land vehicles, where you start at max complexity but each round you reduce the complexity by 20%, not the block count. Meaning you can rearrange the entire build however you want, in addition you are allowed to switch any block with any other as long as they have the same complexity (meaning you can't take 3 blocks away for a shield etc.) or you can break the rules but you get a penalty : your total block count is reduced by 10%. So you can literally trade off between agility and tank-iness.

[@HolyNorthAmericanEmpire]

Yzuei literally making a Eurofighter replica in trailmakers, what a legend.

[@rebel6301]

one of my favourite aircraft tbh

[@Wouizy]

European delta wings are the best !! (Rafale for me)

[@pcenero]

This is the most Ace Combat-esque battle I've ever seen you guys play this game yet lmao.

[@AgentFlamezGamez]

You should totally do max complexity tanks. I think that would be fun to watch.

[@DHDragon]

"It was at that moment that Scrapman learned why B-17s had ball turrets."

[@DrBrightsite19]

i always love Yzuei and scrapman's dynamic with building, yzuei always builds some stylish looking and surprisingly effective builds, while scrapman is always "YOU FOOL, I HAVE 70 ALTERNATIVE SUPPORTS"

[@burntbread9]

That Dassault Rafale is incredible, a fine piece of French Engineering.

[@AnnaliseGarrett-fg7wg]

Literally the video: “ it’s not me versus you, it’s how long you can survive”

[@enderking5220]

y'know what could've been really handy there from round one? backwards facing guns. ah thar we go

[@vertech2589]

Hoping this will be a reoccurring theme in the future

[@TinaGloria2012]

You guys should do a dog fight of max complexity again but this time build each other's crafts, and put in one hidden sabotage on a random button that *might* get pressed during a battle.

[@roelieboy204]

Thanks for doing a version of my no restrictions battle!

[@DETHdressedInRED]

I love this game, both watching you guys and playing it. It NEVER gets old.

[@BoneKrusher]

30:27 you can see just barely the tip of the tails sticking out. I'm pretty sure what happened was it hit the exposed tail. The rocket explosion then went through the energy shield. Since it technically didn't hit a shield space. The shield fields were too close to the aircraft. I think the explosion splash damage also might just go through it as well.

[@GetMicrowaved]

I remember suggesting this. Great to see a video on it.Haven't yet watched it.Hope it will be good

[@volcano.mitchell]

When i saw scapmans plane I knew yuzei would get vaporized 💀

[@amgadpro]

Idk if you spelled Yzuei correctly

[@Jayson_Tatum]

Yzuei actually spells it incorrectly lol ​@@amgadpro

[@im.not_kzkz]

Well yzuei won

[@notthatbad42]

I need this to be a series!

[@Manchweld]

And this is why non forward facing gunners are nice to have on heavy aircraft

[@Loop_Kat]

Clever of Yzuei to use skis to pad out his build, I was actually half-expecting one of you to do a meme build made entirely of skis just because of how insanely complex they are, lol (you only need 35 of them to hit the complexity limit)

[@silaspostma1496]

"I think I needed that" amazing last words

[@loveyourwaifu1035]

i'd honestly love to compete in a challenge like this with scrapman and yzuei. i'm still learning on how to record and get vireo's going. but i'll start making trailmakers vids soon and have some cool tips, tricks and strategies for a 700 comp dogfight challenge

[@Jack_Wolfe]

32:48 I found while playing with the shields, the tighter they are the less effective they are, they need about 4 blocks or more from any part to stop damage.

[@samisalama3033]

I haven't watched your channel on years, it has gotten better.

[@StarWarsExpert_]

Really enjoyed this episode! 29:26 Well, your still flying half a ship.

[@BlocksCrafterYT]

7:40 you cann disable the shield in build editor by just disabling the "start on" option. Then you just have to enable them manualy when spawning or if your finished building enable the "Start on" option again

[@theldraspneumonoultramicro405]

idea: max complexity, no rules, 3 rounds, after each round whichever part you use the most of get banned and you have to rebuild your aircraft without it. same rule but for ships, sub's and ground vehicles.

[@mahimkhan7394]

other versions of maximum complexity challenges might be cool to see

[@frozenstar7048]

you should try making an aircraft that uses one creation to generate lift and control the aircrafts movement, and other person makes the powerplant and you attach them with anchors

[@blackoak4978]

You should have put the emp's on the same trigger as your regular guns specifically to avoid forgetting about them, but also to reduce how much you needed to think about during the battle. But DAMN his plane was dense!

[@BlocksCrafterYT]

7:40 you can actualy turn off the shields in build mode by disabling the active on start option. You just have to turn them on manualy or if you're finished building turn it back on

[@SaintInix]

I think the big bertha would work with some gyros and B-17 Style gun placement. Put them on the wing edge pointing directly left and right, and drop most of the shields for more thrust. Get like one shield bubble on the back, one on the front and one center. Just enough to take the edge off a frontal strike, armor more, if there's any complexity left.

[@anthonyplacek9703]

a dogfight, but the goal of the plane is twofold, a. beat the opponent, or b. if you get shot down, to have the cockpit make a survivable crash landing.

[@voidboss8844]

I really love this concept!

[@josephhopper1811]

You could always cut your throttle and pull back on your pitch and counter your yaw and roll to slow down and peel behind your pursuer. once you fall, you can go full throttle for a chase or keep a slow controlled decent to aim at the attacker

[@50KsubzcriberGoal]

*You have me inspired to start making vids. Much love and major props to you* Scapman! 😘

[@JoshuaGanoTyraxLightning]

Possible idea: A Space Invaders-like fight where one Player fights in a Space Invaders-like Ground Vehicle that fires only into the Sky vs a sorta "Boss Space Invader" controlled by another Player and Logic'd Gimball Jets that bombs into the ground trying to defeat the Human Defender to open the way for Alien Invasion. :) (Guess losing over a Trillion Invaders to far fewer numbers of Defenders would get through to the Aliens that raw numbers wouldn't be enough eventually! ;P )

[@carterstrick1020]

20:18 blaster can go though Sheild but do less damage

[@RoflVirus]

i think some kind of multiplayer plane-train fights would be cool,like make a plane or space ship type thing but that has links that add on each match like train segments,each round ur "ships gets longer or whatever and try to fight others along with the physcics of ur own ship

[@hieronymusnervig8712]

And yet again you guys prove that turn rate is the most valuable stat in a dogfight. Hence my proposition: dog fights, but you can only fire your weapons after not turning for 1 second.

[@emillasota4549]

great video like always but I have a suggestion for whenever you do dogfights. I think at the end of every dogfight you should swap builds and have a fight like that

[@someguy8437]

I think something that you need to incorporate more into dogfights is when you realize the opponent is dealing a lot of damage really fast and you cant seem to get a lock on them, after 5-10 seconds try to peel off and fly away, as your build had around the same amount of speed as yzuei's.

[@user-ec8dk2pn7u]

SCRAPMAN I commented this previosly but you should do a dogfight with yzuei where you both ahead of time choose the plane you want to use but you can only choose planes that were "failed" ,whether they were good ideas or not, you could also expand it to a callange where you both choose intercepter designs, or just a dogfight with designs only from the cold war era or something of the sort. (love your vids)

[@Mr.BananaVr-py6vl]

When I saw the thumbnail my jaw dropped cuz your built was and is insanely cool

[@Moneydro]

BRO THAT IS SO COOL

[@LunaliBrighteyes]

Something I've noticed when you build biplanes for redundancy, you never connect your wings. Putting some pipes out towards the end or in multiple places along them would greatly increase the redundancy of the wings.

[@ArcTrooper-Fives]

you can actually turn off energy sheilds in build mode. when putting in their settings, select the off bey default

[@DemonKing19951]

You guys should do a glider dog fight. Basically everyone fly to the top of the map then disconnects their engines. Could be a very interesting challenge if you do it on a map with things you'll have to fly around.

[@Clemshki]

Awsome builds and fights guys !

[@natcholyser]

I think the one energy shield is always braking because some Blasters are outside of its protection range, and when you pitch up you shot them from outside

[@arinyescantari7245]

Multiplayer race (or King game) with an EMP detachable wheels. EMP only facing forward, so no shooting back. In king game, having crown you're not allowed to repair. In race, repair only when you spin out

[@thomasmuollo9230]

You should be able to set the shields to ‘off by default’ and they will stay off when you’re in build mode, just remember to switch it back lol

[@KrazeGaming_]

Keep up the good work, Scrap!

[@spazthulu8030]

Part of the reason you were taking damage through your shield is because of yzuei's rockets. The blast damage of rockets is large enough it can damage the creation through the energy shields it hits.

[@shinyian82]

We need more of these dogfights on the airborne map

[@YS907HCR2]

Hey Scrapman you should do more of these 700 Complexity Vids there fun to watch

[@mme.veronica735]

Challenge Suggestion: Broadside Dogfight: You have to build planes to dogfight, but your guns can only face to either side, not forwards or backwards. As an added challenge have a round where you use the gunpowder cannons.

[@austinclark3495]

OP emp fight would be comical and a good engineering challenge.

[@calmpuppy1281]

You guys should do max complexity in the space sector next because I've realized you guys have rarely gone in the space sector.

[@darmenite4455]

The second i saw yzuei's Gripen, my thoughts on this being an Ace Combat video in disguise were confirmed

[@LinkLaine]

i guess if you just strap bunch of rocket engines (for strafing too) and gyros to something without wings it will be very maneurable. i would look at dogfight with such designs

[@TheAutomatonMarchFormation]

Yzuei's plane would be very vulnerable to emp rocket combat I think, also you prob got damaged when you both came very close together that first time by Yzuei shooting you while in your shield so no damage migigated

[@ZTRCTGuy]

Yzuei manages to hit himself, forgets about energy shields and spends an awful lot of complexity in the design instead of function and still manages to win more.

[@floralbrake]

Could you try replicating the command and conquer apocalypse tank? It’d be interesting to see it recreated

[@Jesse-zk9ge]

Pretty cool battle, although if I was designing a overpowered vehicle.🤔 I would have the cockpit in the center surrounded by onion layers. So will the first layers would be just regular shielding, I would might have some logic to control guns that lay between each layer. Like when one layer gets removed the logic activates another layer of more stronger guns which gets exposed, I would probably include energy shields in the process the place between the layers of regular shielding and the guns. Another words kind of a flying immovable fort. Which I think would kind of cool. Battling it out in 2 drifting overpowered Castles in the Sky. Create Hayao miyazaki's Castle in the Sky.

[@Pucius_]

you should do a fly by at the start of the dogfight to make it more fair

[@konqerd1241]

I'm curious if the shield simply reduces blast radius of the rockets. It's so close to your ship that you may still be in range of the explosion.

[@James_Kosmo]

I think that i have an actually good video idea. What if you put all the parts (except the important ones) in a wheel and for each player a certain number of parts get "banned" randomly. And you just re-roll and add more and more banned items or you start over again with new banned parts or maybe you could start with almost everything banned and then unbann randomly. I think that that would be cool. Anyhow i've been watching you for a while and you are one of my favorite yters to watch!

[@adrianbowen9357]

I've got a few suggestions: 1. Build challenge (on the ground) where the only way to turn is using steering servos - no hinges 2. Ground OP battle - like the Blimp one, one person has a big tank/vehicle and others build little "raiders" to stop the big one from getting somewhere I have built an "OP Delivery Truck" and uploaded it to the workshop if you'd like some inspiration.

[@curiousustron7002]

Next time try a secret 2nd redundancy, where if you wings go out you can drop weights and have a 2nd gun, with a separate key bind. Idk I thought it'd be cool like A-Team

[@jasonvorhees2109]

I would suggest on the next "bomber" type build to put some separately controlled guns sideways and some backwards in order to cover a loss ov maneuverability. A typical Bomber design usually sports a tail gunner and two side gunners

[@TheWinjin]

Would it be possible to add thrusters that look to the side so that they could rotate you in the air faster for tighter turns?

[@NyZandry]

You could make a ground battle with no block or weapon limit, maye with a powercore limit or the ,,has to be max complexity'' rule

[@DanyF02]

7:40 You can turn them off, just gotta remember to turn them back on when you're done. Btw I'm surprised you didn't consider putting any of your guns pointed backwards in such a tanky sluggish plane(on 1st iteration anyway), or to use gyro's to assist maneuvering.

[@lewi3xclusive95]

3:40 I’ve built stuff visually really small a couple of times at max complexity

[@juneBug412]

i think what makes the shields so unreliable is like, how fast you're both going. in all the videos i've watched, shields always seem to stop working properly when either the user or the projectile is goin at a certain speed. somethin about goin too fast makes projectiles seem to sometimes not register that they've gone past a shield

[@kolijboss]

Super cool idea guys. I really like the bulk. Also, video suggestion: wedge plane vs his favourite shape sub. God bless you all, man. Also bonus ide: Sensor bearing creature animal/pokemon battle? 👀🤷🏾

[@slimedev4920]

Multiplayer Monday Idea: OG Day (or maybe month?) Just going back to the good old days of multiplayer monday, you kind of did it with that updated challenge mode map, but something like where yall had your own booth to build something.

[@tracepratt1969]

Scrapman you TOTALLY CAN turn OFF the shields while in build mode. Select the shields and under settings pick the OFF BY DEFAULT setting and poof, the generated shields will turn off making it easy to see.
