I've seen wood muscles, steel muscles, spring muscles, cable muscles, and now... hydraulic muscles! But after all I have seen, now I can never be satisfied until I see the mythical road muscle.
I do a mucle isnide of a mucle in bigger bridges if a triple mucle doesnt work I do a mucle inside of a mucle in a mucle and keep making more until it works
I love the way you can look at other people's solutions for inspiration. It adds another level of fun to the game for anyone who is genuinely stuck and lacking inspiration.
The truck driving over limo, reminds me of a story my dad told me. He was showing off on a dirt bike and he accidentally popped the clutch... he popped a wheelie and drove on top of a VW Bug.

RVE I am loving your videos buuuut I would love to see real world solutions to the engineering problems presented to you in your games. Its funny seeing the wacky solutions that meet the game's requirements for solving the level but I would love seeing videos of you walking through the process of a real engineer making real world bridges. I may be the only person wanting this type of content though 😅 I will continue to enjoy your content we either way 😀
If you want to find some cool leader board designs you can sort by budget and go to the very last page.A lot of the time, the most expensive bridges can be the coolest!
20:02 it's not working cause the steel part should rotate, but when the limo hits the road, that steel part just compress against the ground and everything collapses
Two things I'm a sucker for: cheerful british and engineering. Surprised you didn't make the sloped drawbridge with springs so that it bends for the truck to hit the star. And surprised you didn't hang the trap door on the stone pillars with a spring. You're usually very springy in solutions.
Don't pay too much attention to the % on the leaderboards, but to the actual costs. The top ones often have costs that indicate the presence of actual innovation over just an optimized standard solution.
Well Mr. Real Civil Engineer, you should have seen that your wood piece at 19:30 was getting crushed in your movement path, and only a spring could have saved that design. Ah well, I guess that's why we have peer reviews.
Hey! Thanks for your videos. I was trying to research into the design principles and tried to find more info on “muscles” in that context - but couldn’t. Have you just invented this term? Or if not, could you point into the direction to read more about the basic structural elements of truss designs?
It's more of a gameplay mechanic tbh, irl you would generally just up the cross section of the element to increase its strength. Here we don't have that option so it's just a method of increasing the number of elements the force goes through, and therefore reducing the amount if force each one takes. The term muscle is based on the appearance being similar to that of organic muscles, and I guess because it adds strength. Not a clue where the term originated though!
@@RealCivilEngineerGaming thanks for the explanation. While reading I realized something I wanted to clarify about the game mechanics. Do the joints have limit to the force they can withstand, especially the tension load?

I am beating the system and writing this in advance! THE POWER OF ENGINEERING!!
Loving how regularly you upload and it’s fun to watch
Ps. It’s called a Dimond hydraulic
How?

Maybe for your 50k special, do a setup and workshop tour but don't forget the most important part which is garlic toast!

In another video he uses a road muscle
Don't froget rope muscles!
How the bleep a cable muscle improve anything
@@name-hf3jt it can have more load bearing capacity than the cables on their own. We do something similar with cranes and spreader bars etc.
Reid captain did it
Okay, "Muscle Muscle" make a muscle and replace all the things in it with muscles. Genius. Also probably a terrible idea.
Or make a muscle out of five different materials.
Ok i was thinking of this but yea sometimes happens
Muscleception
I do a mucle isnide of a mucle in bigger bridges if a triple mucle doesnt work I do a mucle inside of a mucle in a mucle and keep making more until it works
A mucle insidd of a mucle can be used to make longer wooden mucles like a steel mucle but mucle inside of a mucle
I mean
it was expensive and probably rather inefficient but I honestly loved the hydraulic solution
very pleasing to see it work
Same it was pleasing.

Wow
I think that was my solution :) I then changed the iron for wood muscle and tweaked a bit down to $9256
Your daddy squished your bug with his tire?! :C
(Hilarious but also scary)
is he ok?
Trap door is a great level for generating thousands of weird and wonderful solutions. It's fun just to browse the solutions.
Ngl, if there's Bob Ross in engineering. You're him.
In engineering we never have mistakes, just happy little catastrophic failures!

I can't imagine DOT is exactly thrilled with some of those solutions 😆
Yeah but what do they know? They're not the real civil engineer

Came across your yt a couple of days ago....
You've helped a lot. I needed this
Keep it up. You are amazing.
Glad to have helped you out! Hope everything's okay!
Watching this video as i’m studying physics.
Keep up the good content!

Only 2 months ago you were just reaching 500 subs and now you're at over 30k. Congrats and keep it up.
Thanks, truss me I don't reminding! It's crazy how far we've come so quickly!
RCV: I dont know that this thing will hold.
Bridge: "Just Truss me, Bro"
this was a very nostalgic trip! miss these kinds of videos matt
Still the best TH-cam intro to date. “Hey guys. Speed-running again. Let’s get into it.”
That hydraulic muscle was amazing! It was so cool to watch work.
13:13 Your joy and surprise brings the rest of us joy! It's like finding a 20 dollar bill in your pocket!
Good to know as an engr student that thinking remains the least favorite thing to do after school is over
Long time watcher, first time subscriber. I've been watching for a long while now, you've just been popping into my recommendations. Cheers!
Clearly best episode. You should show other people's solutions more often!
The fiddling really got me🤣. Wasn’t expecting jt
"Let's cheap this up then" is 90% of engineering
Engineering - "It's just a bit of trial and error"
Omg when you went and built over the limo, cracked me up. Fits my sense of humor perfectly

reid captain showed you the forbidden diamond hydraulic
only watched 2 vids so far but this guy needs more subs :)
(4) Speed bridge building, speed comment typing. Fantastic vid, have a great day, take care.
They all count!
These videos give me good flashbacks to my static engineering and mechanics of materials courses! Thanks I think? lol
I apologise if its traumatic for you 😂
i love watching your videos. i really dont mind you restarting
Don't pay too much attention to the % on the leaderboards, but to the actual costs. The top ones often have costs that indicate the presence of actual innovation over just an optimized standard solution.
7:15 when he says "ok let's put some steel in" it activates my google assistant everytime without fail
Well Mr. Real Civil Engineer, you should have seen that your wood piece at 19:30 was getting crushed in your movement path, and only a spring could have saved that design. Ah well, I guess that's why we have peer reviews.
Seen the title and said
"oh shit"
Love your videos keep it up buddy 👍🏼
I am loving your channel. So funny! Keep the great content and edits coming!
The mighty algorithm chose you to earn my viewership tonight
I downloaded this game n tried to play it. I suck at it so I'm just gonna watch this guy.
I was stumped on that same level bro! I ended up with the same solution.
“We could do the old that trick” #1 quotes from RCE
I love your vids
I made a hydraulic muscle before. It lifted the entirety of the triple-decker drawbridge out of the way, not just the middle bit!
That was pure genius
I like your commitment to lack of hydraulics!
why should you never cross a hydraulic bridge?
Because you can't truss them
The start of greatness
This guy is so wholesome
That hydraulic muscle is so cool :D
You should play cities skylines. I just feel like the commentary could be pretty interesting
Just found your channel today, can not stop watching. Hi from a new sub :)
Hi, welcome to the channel!
i'd love it if you show those mysterious top 3 designes.
"Top 7%, thats like the top 7% of of people." Well darn that made me lough out loud.
I really like watching you struggle to make it better.
You've heard of a muscle and a muscle muscle, but get ready for *MUSCLE MUSCLE MUSCLE*
comment for this time in the video: 9:25 . you could've done hydraulics on that one road piece that the boat was clipping.
Hey RCE, if you play more KSP, it would be possible to build a bridge with mods and drive a car across it.
Would it be possible? Yes. Would it be possible for me to do it? I dont know, I barely got to space!
I've been digging your videos, so funny and great!
your tolerance for tweaking average ideas into brilliance is beyond me!
Love Ur vids
RCE: “Now lets see if this will hold”
*bridge collapses*
RCE: “Ahhhhhhh...”
0:18 Matt why did you sound like the pufferfish eating a carrot here? XD
4-02 just use double spring on the edges, at 100% compression, it should make it big enough to yeet them to the other side...
You know the developers watched these!? And they made stuff harder!
Ten years from now we are all gonna get to brag that we were fans since the early days.
I did the math and the top 5% for the last level was 529th, and RCE got 531st
Oh top 7, that’s like the top 7% of people
-Real civil engineer
You could hold your final trap door with two pieces of cable. easier to apply and maybe cheaper.
So that meme about civil engineers being scared of dynamic structures is true?
Yes
I was a fan of Reid Captain before I know you so hearing you say it hydraulic muscles instead of diamond hydraulic just confused mẹ :))
First the legendary cable muscle 💪 now we hot the mythical hydraulic muscle next were gonna get the legendary split joint muscle!
At 1:55 you can see Tyler Rock Aliensrock on the leaderboards
Great spot, I completely missed that! Shame he was above me too! 😅
All hail the almighty muscle

Am I the only one yelling at my phone cause the build is so simple!!!
Hahahaha loved the Final Destination reference
For the one with 2 boats I would have made a ramp that would put the car onto a spring that would launch the car into the checkpoint
Have I played too much MGSV or was that supposed to be Paz's humming at the very beginning here?
1:48 HE USED A SQUARE HES TO DANGEROUS TO BE KEPT ALIVE
LordOllsworth technically is a diamond shaped
Daniel Duntavs Saunders quadrilateral then
"I'm better at standard still structures" laughs in ME. Fun to watch vids tho im gonna have to buy this game
The long bits of the hydraulic muscle don't need to be hydraulics, just the middle bit
These are great
0:17 immediately hit with a pufferfish
I just got Poly bridge for Android for 99 cents thanks to your videos. thanks for giving me more ways to be unproductive... lol

The last bridge was most kerbal as of yet lol.

ah yes, Rosa Parks, the well known bridge builder.
In a metaphorical way, she did help 'build bridges'. :)
