A gappy bridge sure wouldn't be allowed in real life, but it was a lot of fun learning a potential new way to shave cost in this game! Which level did you guys enjoy most this in this episode?
My favourite one was the first one Also in the second bridge there was a lot of dangling bridge potential. you could use smol springs instead of wood between the roads and have it just dangle with his springs holding it
I must say, i really like how you edit your videos and also the fact that you integrate your job into them. As you like Poly Bridge and Engineer Games i suggest that you might like Factorio, just a suggestion though, i'm not forcing you to anything, i just think that you would like it. Also, stay like you are and good luck in these... strange times.
Having never played the game, I was not expecting you to get away with clipping big sections of roadway together to make a drawbridge. I guess it's all about load support so Ghost Pavement is not a concern.
On the triple decker level, I made the top road arch above the ship. So the two ends of the bridge always stayed connected, making it easier to hold everything up. And I built a little hurdle for the middle car, so it will be delayed and only two cars are on the bridge at the same time.
@@RealCivilEngineerGaming Also when youre using multi-deck parallel bridges, at least in the simulation you want to anchor the bridge anchors directly to eachother, top to bottom, not Truss Intersect to Truss intersect. Doing so increases the structure's rigidity, which is not the case when doing a horizontal support.
it also means optimistic or positive, especially in an apparently bad or difficult situation according to google. provokes the thought: which meaning did polybridge mean? 🤔
you are my new favourite channel. I love how real you are in your q&a videos, you made me feel a lot more at ease with uni. it's taking a bit longer than I planned but as long as I finish right?
8:00 I'd say it's build symetrically like that, so it has the instantaneous center of rotation and the center of mass aligned in the same point and therefore negating the aditional stress on the bearing it would have gotten due to the inbalanced rotation. Though of course, this leads to doubeling the stress caused by gravity on the bearing. Sooo I'm not sure wheter this trade off is worth it or not ^^
Everything fell apart on the first bridge because that bottom joint wasn't attaching, I'd recommend always keeping hydraulics at max (50) and only changing the position of the joint it's attached to.
The one where you asked about the 3 on top, it was a counter weight to allow to the motion to actually work with the hydraulics and made it so it wasn’t just a pendulum on one point creating immense forces
8:00 "Why has it got the three extra lanes on top?" Counterweight. The moving part rotates about its centre of mass, so the static stress on its support doesn't change when it turns.
Yes, can you just imagine; inputting a word with some type of letter-selecting device, into a separate electronic device, then being presented with a multitude of sources for definitions and pronunciations, even in different accents? That is truly the future, my friend! 🤓🤯
SBwingman wait! Isn’t that a thing. You type out the word on a type writer, give the word over to be sent telegram, the telegram reaches the pony express they ride out to the professor and all his books, the professor researches the word, types up the information, gets the local pony express to take it to get telegraphed and then sent to in inquirer. All in a matter of weeks. So fast! Technology 🤯 amirite.
The first bridge kinda breaks the laws of physics. I haven't heard of any solid material travelling through other solid material without problems at the speed of a slow driving car without causing cold-deformation. This is - however - pretty much what the title says... Thinking "outside the box"....
I loved all the time spent on making the triple decker drawbridge rotate out of the way.... then it collapses when the cars get 10 feet across.... I couldn't help but laugh. This is more entertaining than I expected.
Love watching the videos. I get lost in them when I should be going to bed. But good lord does it hurt my soul every time you stop to adjust right before seeing the leaderboard
I think that arched roads help a lot more with cost than you think. While both of us know that the arched roads are generally a no-no, they allow a more even split of the load between the trusses and the road, which allows MUCH tighter tolerances. Instead of fighting forces with a moment arm, you run the forces along a straight line.
Have you ever heard of a game called Armadillo Run? I think it would be perfect for your channel - its a physics based game where you need to get an armadillo into a portal using various materials with different costs and tensile strengths. So you can do things like create slingshots, rubber catapults, anything you can think of as long as you stick to the budget and the armadillo stays in the right place for 5 sec or so. Old game, but brilliant. Highly recommended
Loving the content rce! I hope you follow through on some of the challenge levels because they really put one’s building skills to the test. You might want to consider doing challenge levels before world 5, world 5 is much much harder than the previous worlds and even most of the challenge worlds 1-4. Also would you consider turning the audio level down for your outro song? It’s just a little jarring in my opinion. Keep up the fantastic work!!
Thanks my man, I will get to challenge levels as long as people still want to watch them bybthe time I get there!! Yeah, working on my outtro, volume will be coming down as I've noticed this too! Some new videos I'm just keeping the game music running through it too. Thanks for your comment friend!
Your videos are something I look forward to watching. I don't care what you play, you make them all fun. I bought Human Fall Flat and Gold Rush merely because you make them fun and hilarious. Keep it up! Btw the discord contest was a great idea though submissions with >10 fps might be a reasonable requirement next time.
The optimist will say that the glass is half-full. The pessimist will say that the glass is half-empty. The engineer will say that the glass is 2 times bigger than it needs to be.
It's pronounced like sane-gwen. Also when referring to a gulch it typically refers to the definition of blood-red, but this case seems to be a bit of a pun. 1. optimistic or positive, especially in an apparently bad or difficult situation. "he is sanguine about prospects for the global economy" 2. LITERARY•HERALDRY blood-red.
The word _sanguine_ is pronounced like penguin. It means sweet or optimistic, but also means blood-like. In the case of the canyon, it means it's blood-colored but also a pleasant place to visit.
It'd have been cool if there was a slider piece, a beam that couldn't pass through other pieces of the same type of beam. With that you could have made something like a bridge that could extend horizontally.
Would've been cool if you made all 3 roads in the first level move in parallel to one another but all connected to the end of their roads, using one short hydraulic connected to pull all 3 up in a manner akin to a pantograph linkage. It probably won't work, but food for thought.
Fun Fact: Sanguine (San- gween) is the Latin word for blood, and in English has become the word for the color of blood! (The red-brown color of fresh blood)
I remember that first bridge. In my solution t was the first time I used a hydraulic muscle (anything less just didn't want to work.). Bloody bastard of a bridge, yet less than many others. The second, oddly, was a breeze.
"Test sanguin" in french means "blood test" (blood = sang), so maybe that has something to do with the polybridge world? 🤔 No idea. Upon googling it the definition ranges from 'optimistic' to 'bloodthirsty' so that ain't much help either haha
A gappy bridge sure wouldn't be allowed in real life, but it was a lot of fun learning a potential new way to shave cost in this game! Which level did you guys enjoy most this in this episode?
But isnt every wooden road bridge is a gappy bridge?
My favourite one was the first one
Also in the second bridge there was a lot of dangling bridge potential. you could use smol springs instead of wood between the roads and have it just dangle with his springs holding it
Those curve-y curves are some BILFs. They got the looks and decreases your cost which I know engineers love doing. Keep up the vids.
Tintagel, checkmate.
Sebastian I love that bridge, was fortunate enough to see it as I convinced the missus to take a detour whilst we were on holiday earlier in the year!
you should build a bridge way over budget but realistic to how you would design it in real life
He has
Then he will have a rhode island project

Anyone can make a bridge that hold. You need an engineer to make a bridge that barely hold.
I must say, i really like how you edit your videos and also the fact that you integrate your job into them.
As you like Poly Bridge and Engineer Games i suggest that you might like Factorio, just a suggestion though, i'm not forcing you to anything,
i just think that you would like it.
Also, stay like you are and good luck in these... strange times.
Recommendations for factorio are nothing to be taken lightly.
Are you trying to kill him?
Having never played the game, I was not expecting you to get away with clipping big sections of roadway together to make a drawbridge. I guess it's all about load support so Ghost Pavement is not a concern.
"I know safety. I'm an engineeeeer!"

10:57 "Ok, so this is going to be a bit of carnage."
lol yeah, what he really means is "I know how to make things more dangerous".
He said he _knows_ safety. Not that he insists on it. 😉
7:58 its for balancing, a counter weight

It's for the demons to escape

The guy used the extra 3 lanes on top as a counter balance to prevent it from breaking while spinning

Better make sure ur degree has an actual job. Correlated to it lol
The bridge magically folds through the three decks without destroying the decks.
magic
It's called game logic
8:00 I think the extra lanes act as a counter weight so the whole thing can pivot smoothly without breaking

*Aliensrock is watching you using road muscles*
It's like watching 2 people coming from different directions and both ending up at the holy grail. Muscle from any material.

Triple decker drawbridge, just when everything is going great, life finds a way to drop three of your cars into the abyss.
Just discovered this channel. It’s great!
"Oh! It's working. Do we support - agh. Bullocks!"
🤣🤣🤣

😅 sorry, it's just I know I can shave more!
"The stress is high, but I can't see where." I felt that
I just realized something. Watching your videos is more fun than the game itself.
I love the added suspense of having a school bus on the top level.
How can people dislike your videos? Your nothing but funny and nice, great video man keep it up love watching them
There are architects that watch my videos...
The bus driving on was hilarious
5:10 that was hilarious haha.. all goes well "but does it support.." *vehicles touch it and entire thing collapses*
We have lift bridges in a city near where I live. The whole bridge gets lifted up to let ships pass beneath. Pretty cool.
(6) 14:08 "They weren't very stressed," He says. Well, I do believe the red at 13:49 says otherwise. Great vid, have a good one and take care.
Thanks my man, and you
I honestly use this guys videos to fall asleep haha (not a bad thing, very relaxing)
Man I wishes bridges were built like this in real life, with trial and error and lots of willing drivers.
Lol
I got WAY too into that Box-shaped bridge working with the hydraulics correctly.
How did I get here in life LOL

At the first bridge you could try to slow down the cars so they won't cross the bridge at the same time but after each other ;)
Super entertaining content. Great job, keep up the good work.

"Poly Bridge 2! A bridge design tool used by Real Civil Engineer!" Wouldn't make a horrible advertisement.
Me at 2:30 "but Pythagorean theorem though? Aren't you an engineer?"
sometimes i am so dumbfounded by your logic then badabing badaboom you have a working drawbridge.
5:11 "Do we support....?" 😁
I think that 3 extra lane is a counter-weight, so it won't just start flipping around.
5:13 This game is full of those moments.
That extra bit on the triple drawbridge was to balance the weight I think
I remember that first bridge. In my solution t was the first time I used a hydraulic muscle (anything less just didn't want to work.).

You just Hit 700k congrats!
6:47 you could have placed a cable between the top left down to the right bottom of the left side
its pronounce "san-gween" or "sang-win" (either is considered correct) and means "peaceful" as the shortest definition
