"What is your plan for our bridge?" "Well, I made a really cool drawbridge so I figured I'd move it over here and use it." "What? But we don't need a drawbridge!" "Exactly, so I'll build another bridge right underneath the drawbridge for you to use."
I feel like the game is watching him play while doing this challenge and is just like “I don’t know what you want from me! YOU BEAT THIS LEVEL ALREADY! STOOOOOP!” as he builds an abomination of a bridge for the 12th time.
My thoughts for this challenge are a big mechanism that rests on the land and probes the level to identify which one it is, then drops the correct bridge down into place.
you could've used symlinks. symlink is a shortcut that acts like a file. you could just copy the level somewhere else, make a symlink, and then copy that symlink to all the levels. it would work seamlessly
Used to do this for large microsoft applications that required installation on C:\ for some reason. Symlinked the installation to another drive, no problem. Should be the perfect solution for this case.
This is such an interesting/ entertaining idea! I wonder if there’s a way to get the fixed joints to not break the files ? Edit: Wait so if poly means “many” and in Polybridge you make many bridges. So if you are only making a single bridge for all of Polybridge, wouldn’t that be Monobridge?
@@relt_ Eve heard of Operating systems before, symlinks are a Unix Thing (Linux, BSD/MacOs are unix-like) and windows does not have those. A bat/cmd/sh file would be the best option.
You keep publishing these videos and lately they have been things or challenges I would never even think of or would just dismiss as impossible. Amazing stuff!
I'm sure some of the crazy people beating levels by launching cars using only falling road pieces could engineer a savefile that beats all the levels somehow, I kinda want to see that done now :x
If you want to try this again you could use Symbolic Links with the Link Shell Extension. Pick one of the folders as a Link Source, and drop them in the same parent folder as symbolic links and rename them so they match the original level folders (back those up somewhere in the meantime), so that in the end you have "Level1" (real folder), "Level2" (symbolic link pointing to Level1-folder), "Level3" (symbolic link pointing to Level1-folder), etc
Yeah the game really didn't like what was happening lol, I didn't mention it but some levels took 20+ seconds to load, which is 19 seconds more than usual. Weird stuff.
you can try to make a short cut to the original file to allow you to use it in the other levels. Just make a shortcut of the bridge and copy past in all the levels and since they all refer to the one file it might just update the original.
try search for file symbolic link (windows has it) it basicly acts like a shortcut but much more transparent, you can have the savefile lets say desktop and you create symbolic link to that file for each levels' slot and modification from one symbolic link will affects the original savefile and thus conceptually synced with others beware tho dont load multiple levels and modifying it at sametime as that pretty sure would leads to corruption i can be easily be batched and have a script which create it for all levels from the directory structure i see
Regarding the file copying, could you actually achieve the same by copying the bridge file into the correct folder in windows file manager? If so, you could create one bridge file, then create windows symbolic link files and copy them to folders with other levels, and this way it would always use the bridge in the original file.
What else do you want to see me make in Poly Bridge? I was thinking of either doing more challenges like this or vehicles builds.
try doing hydraulic levels with zero hydraulics
Make a walking humanoid or four-legged robot.
I would love to see some more Vehicle builds, have a great day man!
make a cannon that shoots a ball that actually explodes
Hydraulic levels without hydraulics, or without split joints, or without using the hydraulic phase
A program that works in multiple programming languages is called a polyglot. What would we call this? Oh, I know, a polybridge!

@@Cr_nch yeah great, especially when i dont have disk space for a 50 gb garrys mod install
Probably the level folders themselves need to be symlinked, rather than the individual bridge files.
This is like the nightmare version of an all level Besiege machine.

What a SMOOOOOTH transition at 8:08. That was so visually appealing
Seeing bridge parts breaking on other levels and flying into the air gave me an idea:
How about making a slingshot by simply breaking stuff?
This feels like how an learning AI would try to play polybridge
If you wanna make the process of copying the files across simpler, you could conceivably make a .bat file for it
Yeah that's a good idea, setting it up would be quick too

yes new upload I love watching your vids!
This is so impressive man good job
You are so amazing ❤️ , want to see more scrap mechanics videoes pls.
so excited to watch this!!!
This remind me of Besiege, with these machines that could beat the whole game. :)
This is CRAZY. here for it
What if you allow yourself the rule that you are allowed to move or rotate the bridge after loading it into another level?
My man turned Polybridge into Monobridge
Title is kinda confusing, you should rename it, “The one bridge to rule them all”
Accually that's fantastic, but physics breaking
Yeah the game really didn't like what was happening lol, I didn't mention it but some levels took 20+ seconds to load, which is 19 seconds more than usual. Weird stuff.
can't you link files? i think the term is creating a "symbolic link" so whenever you modify one file it'll appear instntly on other levels
Thats called "symlink"
Cool concept!
Could you make a good drone in scrap mechanic with the wingsmod or in vanilla?
Maybe, I'll add it to my list
Yeah, that would be cool

I was literally thinking about this 2 days ago & ofcourse u did it amready
Wow, this is really cool!
14:02 that was sick
Really awesome!
Wonderfully scuffed. I love it.
The bridge early on is very questionable
You should do more main assembly
Alternative title is beating PolyBridge 2 without connecting to red joints
There is a certain engineer in my mind yelling "muscle" every time you said diamond
the buggy bouncer one is so satisfying
The buggy level is like an action film jumping over a breaking bridge~
3:32
^*RCE smiles to himself*^
it's so funny to see a single drawed bridge in the game in an entired chapter, especially the 2nd chapiter
this reminds me of the 4D chess game where u have to keep in mind your past moves
idk why but your videos feel like they exist in a different dimension
This makes me wonder if you could go over 100% over budget using this trick
This is nuts.
REALLY REALLY GOOD VIDEO!!!!
Dude you have to build some more things in scrap mechanic I feel like that would be so cool
14:02 Sick stunts.
You should do more of the one road challenge
You could do the level Unity
you can try to make a short cut to the original file to allow you to use it in the other levels. Just make a shortcut of the bridge and copy past in all the levels and since they all refer to the one file it might just update the original.
Shortcuts can't be navigated by programs, what you would need to make this work is a symlink
try search for file symbolic link (windows has it)
it basicly acts like a shortcut but much more transparent, you can have the savefile lets say desktop and you create symbolic link to that file for each levels' slot and modification from one symbolic link will affects the original savefile and thus conceptually synced with others beware tho dont load multiple levels and modifying it at sametime as that pretty sure would leads to corruption
i can be easily be batched and have a script which create it for all levels from the directory structure i see
wow, actually did my idea, nice
You could have built the bridge using the red joints then moved the whole thing up into the sky so it wouldn’t spawn on the joints and delete
Recently got poly bridge 2 and I keep making stuff more complicated than it has to be cuz it took an hour or 2 for me to complete buggy bouncer
sweet video
i have a idea complete some levels whithout using red joints
Poly Bridge? More like Mono Bridge.
the buggy one is so cool
You made impossible 😯
You made my day😋
Das gonna be hard
The truth definition of one for all
I feel like a text answer for this question would have been just fine thanks.
search about Symbolic Links, you can have the same file in as many folders as you want
yeah, now this is big brain time.
2:19
so what you're saying is...
that red is sus?
Regarding the file copying, could you actually achieve the same by copying the bridge file into the correct folder in windows file manager? If so, you could create one bridge file, then create windows symbolic link files and copy them to folders with other levels, and this way it would always use the bridge in the original file.

You can probably use symlinks so you don’t have to copy the file all the time.
