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.

Maybe do a power coupling race? Give the players the same wheel mechanism you’ve made so that they have it available, but then everyone has to innovate their own builds to help win the race!
Or let em build their own power couple wheels
yes please
And then evolve it
Scrapman is just a vibe, sit on the couch, a cup of coffee and a scrap video, life at it's finest
Edit: almost 400 likes, petition for Scrapman to make the #ScrapLife official at 1k likes
Edit:Thnks for all the likes guys, glad to know we all appreciate a good Scrapman vid
petition to make this top comment
(like thes guys comment)
Yes
That's how I wake up every morning swap the coffee for sum pop tarts tho
he reinvented the wheel
Although: Scrap could you stop posting videos of ideas i have b4 i extract them from my white matter? it matters thx :love: :Daddy Shark: 🧔🏻♂🦈
Copy the wheels, rotate 90 degrees, paste on the outside of the old wheels and make them a little bit oval then it should only be power couplings touching the ground.
their attachments also touch. Making it smooth is either impossible or needs multiple layers of power coupling (bent more than what would be round)
I think "perfectly round" wheels will not be possible
This would be better
17:54 Yeah I've noticed heli engines have a limited amount of torque so if you put even a moderate amount of mass on it it will slow them down no matter how fast you bump up the speed setting.
Other Ideas:
- Power Truck Race (pulled by wagons with power couplers)
- Power Car (a car just made out of entirely power couplers)
- Power Plane (a plane just made out of entirely power couplers)
- Power Coupler Art?
- Power Fishing pole (suggested by kilbymorgan8626)
- Power Lightsaber
The vehicles are possible, and art and the bridge but a bow or a crossbow are highly unstable after conclusive testing
When a power car is possible, an invisible car should be possible as well😂
Trebuchet
He did suspension car in SM right?
I totally wanna see power coupling car at different stiffness levels.
I hope it drives like jelly car from that old ios game.
I think he's already made a bridge and a ballista.
And then a cool feature you could add is basically a park mode where the wheels extend and become rectangles, you know so it won’t roll away😂
That’s hilarious, “Uh-oh something broke… all wheels appear to round. Keep going.” Such a true scientist 😂😂😂
I just came up with a goofy multiplayer idea: The Angry Zeus Challenge. You and another player each build a small car with a limited top speed, and a large airship. The large airship drops power couplings onto the small car trying to destroy it (if they don't do damage attach a small explosive to them). The car that travels the furthest or lasts the longest wins.
Great idea!!!!
yes
You could have flipped one of the inner pistons so that the base replaces the 3 way pipe piece. That would have allowed you to make a centerpoint to rotate without a large gap
in this implementation, the attachment point is uncushioned, which introduces bumpiness. What if you used 2 ovals in 90 degree offsets, the goal being that it's always the middle pc is what has contact, making it always cushioned
Know what I wanna see? Attach helicopter blades to power couplers... Do they still work? Is the lift force correctly generated at each blade, causing them to all bow upwards, or does the game simplify the physics and just generate the upward force at the center of rotation so they would sag down?
This was my first test. They do still work, but the couplings flex upward and with enough force the blades will touch/entangle.
I'd love to see ScrapMan make it fully functional though.
@@-user_redacted- Interesting. Does doubling or tripling them up help, or is it diminishing returns?
I initially tried using one, then two side by side. The second didn't seem to add much rigidity even with both at max. Didn't try anything more than two, but the bulk that would be added by more would probably not be worth any potential effects.
Honestly if you keep to lower speeds, like 1/3 trigger pull, it can be used decently but once you up the speed the instability takes hold.
@@-user_redacted- Did you try them stacked vertically instead of side by side?
In that configuration, it would be trying to compress one and stretch the other. No idea if that would help much, or maybe it would just twist and buckle...
It actually worked fine for me at max rigidity. I managed to make a tiny flying vehicle that just consisted of two stacked helicopter blades spinning in opposite directions, a gyro for steering, and a thruster for directional movement. It was only like 6 units in diameter excluding the blades and yet flew better than anything I have ever made. When flying around too quickly, the blades did collide sometimes, but a second set of couplings completely fixed that. I don't know if it was the low weight that made the difference, or if mine does not move as fast. If it makes a difference, I believe that the power couplings on mine are two sections long in order to make sure they clear the outer shell that they clip through.
Upgraded "wheel" idea. Make several curved and compressed sections of power couplings and offset them each by a certain amount of degrees to maintain contact with the ground without the attachment points getting hit
Only the attachment points have collision though.
Looked like the beams have collisions on those wheels
I had this idea recently, which I thought could turn out pretty cool. You could build some arresting wires, set them up on the aircraft carrier and try landing a plane with a hook into them
Ohhhhh, yes please!
@@suicidalbanananana that would be cool right?
Since those power couplers bend even under the player, you could try to determine the weight of the player.
What would look funny is if the power coupler's energy beam was invisible.
Nice! Here's an idea for a future project: Since they spaz out fairly easily, could you maybe use that to your advantage to create some kind of intended motion? (make them spaz in such a way that it results in a controllable vehicle???)
10:34 The Grinch face😂
I totally see it now lmao!
Wow yeah 😂
The orange color on the power couplings makes me think of fire wheels on a Ghost Rider vehicle. :D
Well... now you HAVE to have a race with other people using only power-coupling wheels :D
"why not try that"
Spaghetti Scrap man, this is how you get spaghetti
No way! My creation made a thumbnail and even inspired another video! I don't think my life could be even more complete now! lol
Btw, on my creation there's 3 power couplers per "wheels", the center one is at 0 stiffness and the other 2 are at 50% stiffness, this helps make them bend into the right shape more easily while retaining some stiffness on those that end up supporting the weight of the craft.
Cheers! Keep up the good work!
Thats an amazing idea! Im sure someone is gonna find a way to make it so the connectors dont stick out so they dont break but already a amazing start!!!
Ok no! We need a part 2. Make them intentionally more oval shaped. Double up each wheel like a dooly and turn the next set 90° so that the extra long oval shaps will cover up the connectors at the steering hinges. And why not keep going and make it 4 wide so it will actually look like a normal thickness lightning wheel. And maybe double stack the helicopter engine and rotating servoes for a little more speed.
The main video idea could be to make your own suspension using power couplers but this could just add on to this vehicle.
2:53 perfectly cut scream
Day 176 of asking ScrapMan to play crossout.
Keep going king👑
Oh darn scrapman popped his tires!
Suggestion: make a Power buster.
Let him have some fun, make him a jedi, ligtning god or just a guy doing rope jumps.
i think they should make the stiffness able to get even lower, because with the current lowest stiffness it's still pretty stiff
Power caterpillar when??
A battle or race with power coupler wheels sounds like a grand time!
You should make the wheels slightly oval with the middle of the power couple being the long diameter so they stick out further than the connector pieces, then double up the wheels so each wheel has 4 arches instead of 2 and they are offset by 90 degrees. The idea is to have the power couple "bubble" protect the connector pieces so that only power couple edges touch the ground.
If you have a hard time picturing what I described, imagine a single wheel, duplicate it and rotate it 90 degrees in the direction of the rolling and overlay it onto itself
@scrapman perhaps try rolling the power couplers as a sphere rather then a circle. (like a barrel) would take more power couplers but would be simpler to maintain center
would be really cool to see you all go back a few years and redo some of the "cooler" challenges
i recommend adding some kind of blocks on the pistons to make it have the hard points on the other 2 90° lines
So adding like + in the middle
The only change I would have made would be to use power coupling as suspension. And maybe you could use power coupling to make an articulated bus or trailer hitch
2:54 “ahh”
I wonder if there is a way to control the glitching of the power cufflinks and fly of use it as sort of an engine
Hey scrap, you could try putting 2 of these wheels next to each other and using them as a single wider wheel, so my thought process is that because your wheels are slight ovals, you can hopefully change the angle of one of the wheels, thus making 4 higher contact points on the ground and hopefully way less bounce with each wheel. Hope this helps if you try it :)
This looks like it would be cool to make a tron bike with that glowing wheel
You should do a monday multiplayer where you can onlu use power couplings to build your vehicles. Air, land and sea ofc.
I'm wondering if a motorcycle would work. The power coupling wheels seem to have a very low top speed, and motorcycles need a high speed to maintain their balance. Might be an idea worth playing with.
i think the helicopter engines become less in sync the more you drive so they break pretty quick because the wheels are still a little uncircleish
Double these up, rotated 90 degrees on the outer so that the hoop of the outer wheels covers the gap of the inner wheels. I suspect it might help deal with the breakage issue with the wheels.
Maybe you could make tank treads out of the power couplings? (You might have to go double wide or more but I think it could work)
something i notice is that every now and then when trying to make something with a bunch of moving parts like hinges, gyros, etc, very close together, sometimes it builds the vehicle wrongly and causes a whole lot of glitches, then decides that the vehicle was always meant to be that way and will always glitch out with that blueprint having those parts together, forcing me to scrap the whole thing and start from scratch. seriously, once i put 4 gyro stabilizers in a 2x3x4 brick for a vehicle i was working on, normally this is fine, i use it for a lot of stuff, but then it decided that it would cause constant wobbling and shaking when turning it on, and i had to start over.
You mentioning a fake engine gave me an idea for an update, people might hate it, and people might love it, they should add a separate helicopter motor that is reliant on engines, more engine, more fast, but keep the original helicopter motor how it is, because it would ruin loads of people's existing blueprints, idk if my other update ideas where seen but here's this one
I womder if you could make some weird kind of leaf spring suspension, say if you change the stiffness of the couplings on either side of a wheel. Thats an idea I would love to see scrapman make
This would be a fun battle
definetly i want to see that scrapman
maybe you should double them up with the other set rotated 45 degrees to give you more contact points.
You should do a 0 Power Core plane dogfight with a single Smart Cannon, it is possible with to fly with servos like you did used them for wheels in this video. I used helicopter blades for mine but I'd love to see what y'all could come up with and how the fights would go
Could add the power couplings to the rotor blades of a helicopter in different colors, have a neon strobe effect in the dark for a “night fight” as the only means of seeing each other.
Now you need to race these right? Maybe have this as a static addon component and the rest of the car players can design.
9:22 that moment when wheel
2:00 don’t stretch that much proceeds to make spaghetti
You should try to make tank tracks with the power couplers
try replacing the flat connectors with 2x1 block or wedge pieces and put a friction block on the end, it should provide better traction and might also increase durability of the wheel
4:19 A double jumprope is Double Dutch? This was new to me! #SmarterEveryDay
Wheel spokes with power couplings would probably look cool.
Absolutely
now you're thinking with couplers..
You could make tank tracks with this. It would look realistic if it got shot out.
you could try to double or triple the power couplers to have a wider wheel, maybe it will make them more smooth and solid
I have a theory but I have not been able to get it to work. If it does work though I think it would be cool if you and yuzei made a car and then attached a glider to the back of said car using the power couplings almost like a kite and then raced. If you want to make it really hard you could require the seat to be on the glider and do first person camera
You could use the power couplers also as "spokes"
If you have them spool up a bit, make a slight spiral they will act like a air filled wheel and prove spring to the "tire"
The tire for this that's a whole other thing
19.30 when the loose end of the power coupler lifts the vehicle... hmmm. Maybe possible to build a walker with flailing power couplers for legs?
The first thing I thought of after seeing the power coupling wheels work is if tank tracks are now possible in trailmakers
Amazing wheels! What about an array of power couplers going straight out from a center point, maybe 10 or so to make a wheel with a bunch of whips?
Improvement idea:
Make each wheel a dually.
Double up the wheels, putting the second layer at a 90 degree offset.
It'll make them tougher and smoother.
I had the almost exact same idea :D
How about an ornithopter thing with bendy mosquito legs? Came up with that when you intentionally crashed for the limping effect.
Not a lot of function but surely great form, i assume.
You could make a race where you can have flat tires, imagine hitting a rock and REALLY having a flat, if you stack them a little, you could have them have maybe more durability or something, that would be so cool
I would love to see a space motorcycle with a motorcycle seat attached with a space rocket like Lobo's motorcycle
Imagine how much more you could do if they added an option to have hinges that start at a 90 degree angle or pistons that start either extended or retracted based on what you need.
I’m so curious if you added a little more width to tires by making 2-3 layers on each wheel, maybe it would more evenly distribute the weight and they would break less fast
I could see a drone or helicopter fight where you use power coupler whips as weapons to try and mess with the others propelers
I would like to see if you did the same setup with a second set of wheels on the outside with a 90-degree offset to increase traction and stability. It seems you are losing speed when the vehicle bumps off the ground, which is why you are not seeing a speed increase between 7 and 10
Ok now all I can see is using this for space chuck wagon racing (for those who don't know a chuck wagon was the camp kitchen in a covered wagon following the cowboys on a cattle drive and for some reason they race them at rodeos) You could use a little drone thing for the horse
18:11 Somehow Chariots of fire by Vangelis started playing in my head.
The fact that the max speed didn't effect the cars over all speed tells me the coupling lines themselves don't have friction so while the couplers are holding you up your only getting propelled by the fragile hard part of the wheel
The helicopter has a torque limit, the rotating servo has a speed limit. Doubling the rotating servos and decreasing the strength does the job.
hey mr scrap man, what if you doubled up the power coupler wheels so there are 2 for each wheel? you could have them rotated 90° from each other and that might keep the ends of the couplers from hitting the ground.
You should retry the all terrain vehicles that you did long ago. It may be interesting with the new stuff thats been added since then
YEAH
With the looks of them when in motion makes me think (if can put a trail behind) would look great built into a Tron Bike
Great idea. Try to use power couplers as centipede legs. 1 end attached to the vehicle the other on the ground. (Centipede car)
Dude double or triple up the power coupling wheels at different orientations so you have a thicker wheel and the power couplings of the others on the stack will cover for the gaps of the others.
"round good" 15:48
1:23 - I imagine it just will, if you place 2 of them 90º (probably a little less) on them to each side and poof the contraption should contract by itself.
Liked the video for the "wheel-alistic" pun
Make a Star Wars droideka. I think it would be really cool to see and might be possible, maybe even with power couplings.
Power couplers, tnt and functional parts. That's it, all vehicle types, game modes, your choice.
scrapman, you should try and make working tank tracks with the power coupling, and if it works you should do a tank battle with yzuei
Making a car out of ONLY power couplers (except of the necessities) would be hilarious 🤣
Try a tensegrity build!
we need a race with these wheels
This was pretty sick scrapman.
Oh, there's an idea for Multiplayer Mondays; maybe use these babies to try and make a Spaghetti Launcher. Could be potentially damaging (?)
Since power coupling can bend, can you make a device that can launch stuff. Magnets optional.
Day 21 of asking scrapman to make hide and seek an official day separate from multiplayer monday
you should try to make a Tron bike with power couplers
maybe try to harness the spaghettificaton. So put a bunch of attachment point connected to wings and then when it goes crazy the wings will move and maybe lift you up.
The oval shape could be good if you have 2 sets for every "wheel", offset at 90 degrees. That way it would always hit a suspended piece and not the rigid frame.
Would be nice to have an option to set power couplers to be invincible.
Why not use 4 pistons per wheel or am I missing something crucial?
Then you'd at least have a correct midpoint with a 2x2 connection point to the servo.
There's less reason to add the gap between the steering servos too, as the pistons can flex a little when they're only connected to their own steering servo.
What would change if the stiffness was increased a little, like just 25% or something like that?
With this wheel system in place, can a power coupling Santa's sled be made and what level of friction do the power couplings have?
Multiplayer Monday without weapons, you can only damage the opponent with power couplings?
I think the reason they maxed out on speed was due to them slipping once you had too much force/speed going into the wheels
