Hey RCE, here's a tip, since steel is $450 per meter and a foundation costs $900 per meter, is actually cheaper to use a larger foundation than two pieces of steel because it doesn't stress and the steels arent at 90 degrees, so you use more than $900 per meter (Of height)
That is only guaranteed to work where the foundation is already present and you're just changing its height. Foundation has a very high initial/minimum cost though.
For the non-cheesed solution: You could have made this a lot cheaper if you made the foundations taller. While foundations are expensive, they cost just as much as 2 pieces of steel. You're now trying to compensate the shortness of the foundation by using 3 (and a bit) pieces of steel, effectively 1.5x as expensive as just using a taller foundation
When I saw Paddy on the left of the G-Wagon, I though "oh, they even made it a right-hand-drive vehicle"... and then I realised that they just didn't feel that the level would be safe with RCE driving.
A foundation is actualy the same price as 2 steel pieces of equal lenght, so it might actualy be cheaper to build a much taller foundation to cut out the steel. The main cost of the foundation is the base cost when you add it.
I dont own the game and was wondering if making the foundation taller wouldn't actually be the best solution especially since if the extra anchor is placed on the road level then it also stops a lot of lateral movement.
The parody of In The End got a genuine laugh out of me-- absolute god-tier memery. There's definitely a lot of luck involved in making it as a content creator in this day and age, but by golly, you've earned your success with all the effort you and the editors put in together to churning out fresh and funny videos day in and day out. All the little bits and recurring jokes, the songs, the strong thumbnail game, the consistently light and comfy tone... all parts of an excellent whole. And here's to hopefully more successful years to come!
Placing foundations is by far the most expensive part but once you're committed to having them you should always consider increasing their height as it might be cheaper than an amalgamation of steel.
Just as a side note: The G-Wagen was originally developed to be a military off-roader. (The "G" in G-Wagen is for the German _Gelände_ meaning land or ground.) Somehow, someone at Mercedes had the luminous idea to create a civilian version to bring to market. The rest is history: over 400k units sold since its introduction 1979. Right hand drive versions exist too.
@@styx85 It's tricky to find the right translation that works specifically for this context. Terrain works too though it's quite broad/non-specific. (But German isn't my native language, so I might have this wrong too.)
Devs like the ones from poly Bridge and timber borners that pay attention to their audience and the content creators who bring attention to their games are so cool, love when they add little Easter eggs
2 metal pieces is more expensive per metre than the foundation, so if possible you can increase foundation height instead of having multiple metal coming from it just for the extra height
Gotta say the devs were hinting at the foundations with that design 😄 as others mentioned, it can be cheaper than the alternative when adding a lot on top. Awesome series with PB3!
Heya Matt, it really is crazy to see your growth and reaching the peak self referential memes in a game that exploded your popularity! Been here since 10 K 👷🏼
Any time you're going to use foundations, the cost per meter is the same as running two steel beams the same distance, so you shouldn't feel pressured to make them short, if you're going to suffer the initial purchase cost anyway and attach two steel beams to their anchor point.
The fact that you started long ago... I saw how awkward you are when you trying to speak on your poly bridge videos. And now here you are boosh-ing every piece of your video into a perfection. Thanks for a past one year being in my everyday routine and makes me giggle with how random your jokes are
Infraspace and mini motorways are what got me into this channel, cheers to the poly 3 devs for this awesome reward for the free advertising😂 The singing was awesome #1 When the failure timberborn music comes you know its good
I know I’m relatively new here, only found your channel a few months ago, but I love your content Matt. The fact that they added you and Paddy into the game is epic (and the In The End parody was good too) 👏
The devs are actually legends for not only putting you in the game, but doing so in a pink G wagon. To be fair, that's the least they could do after all the attention your content has brought to their game.
Ahhhh, linkin park... Why do you have to bring the nostalgia here Anyways as a fan since like 10k subs i feel like the time flew so fast and i am so proud of you for getting inside polybridge
You genuine happiness about being added to the game brings a tear to my eye and a lump in my throat, tho I do have borderline personality disorder so unstable at the best of time 😢😅
Let’s goooooo!!!! The G wagon got me cheeeziinnn ! You deserve man. I’ve been here since the first video when you were playing on your lunch break. So glad to see how far you’ve come.
Been here waaay before the beard, and it's a pleasure see you officially in the game this time (after that polybridge 2 custom level)... a "I made it" moment for sure, and a deserved one at that! EDIT: also, can we talk how impressive keeping that "faaal" for that long was during the montage?!
Wow. You have *arrived*, they honored your contributions with an official game asset! And that montage. My dude. That hit notes I was not prepared for this afternoon. RIP Chester.
Weekly challenge idea: An architecht has poisoined paddy and have ruined the road to the vet, you gotta make a bridge over all the nayhem caused by architects in less than X amount of time Very happy the weekly challenges are back!
That's really cool, makes sense with all the free PR you're giving them. I didn't even know of the game until your channel, would be interesting to know how many sales they've gotten through you/that method.
Came looking for yet another cool RCE video with some fun content, but i left with a rad song. Was just gonna go shower and out of nowhere i hear the tune of In The End by Linkin Park. Bloody awesome, Matt! When will you release the full remix?
2:34 I love how they made RCE's left hand like it's holding the steering wheel (being british it makes a lot of sense for him to drive on the right side of the car) but then they actually put the steering wheel on Paddy's side... LOL EDIT: He actually realized it at 19:50 so my comment is literally useless
theidea i initially had was aking the boxes fall off and the gwagon going over not excactly how you did it but the initial idea being that the wagon nvm great video though happy you finally got the recognition you deserve man
Fun to see you in a level of another game. You could do the level with higher foundations, you always forget comparing the prices. Putting the foundations up more saves you from high steal cost because you use the muscle
At 10:30, that steel break is because of the angle change in the arch. Since your arch from the right comes into the node at an angle, the stabilizers from the left push it down and to the right to keep it fixed. The left side ends up adding more downward force, so the vertical steel support underneath experiences more force than just the weight of the bridge and cars. A smooth arch is more important than vertical supports to avoid stabilizers adding unnecessary force.
RCE: wants a level where you need to get boxes across a bridge.
Also RCE: Decides to not get the boxes across the bridge with cheese.
If I was a dev, I'd give flags to the boxes, make it a car with 0 acceleration on top of the trucks or something
@@esupton783 and a span with placement of possible foundation locations that force three different styles of bridge.
Maybe the real boxes we got across that bridge were the friends we made along the way
Well to be fair he did try to cheese it but still bring the boxes over, but he couldn't make that work lol
The boxes were full of architects. Don't want those soiling the bridge or going where we're going.
It is always fun to see Devs do stuff like this with their community.

up to a point yes, but a higher foundation means the steel going more horizontal which makes it weaker
@@La_sagneTrue, but it could work, it's worth a try
RCE in a recent video has discovered this
That is only guaranteed to work where the foundation is already present and you're just changing its height. Foundation has a very high initial/minimum cost though.
@@OriginalPiMan but he is using the foundation no matter what

Silently screaming this at my screen the entire vid
When I saw Paddy on the left of the G-Wagon, I though "oh, they even made it a right-hand-drive vehicle"... and then I realised that they just didn't feel that the level would be safe with RCE driving.
🤣 Paddy driving RCE around, that's something to see....🤣😂🤣
A foundation is actualy the same price as 2 steel pieces of equal lenght, so it might actualy be cheaper to build a much taller foundation to cut out the steel.
The main cost of the foundation is the base cost when you add it.
Someday he will realize this
With two steels it's cheaper to have a lower foundation due to the steels being a bit diagonal. Most of the price is in placing it still, though
@@livestefan That's what he's saying, its cheaper to use the taller foundation rather than 2 pieces of steal that are diagonal
this was painful to watch knowing this
I dont own the game and was wondering if making the foundation taller wouldn't actually be the best solution especially since if the extra anchor is placed on the road level then it also stops a lot of lateral movement.
I love how the devs had both of you looking out the side windows, anticipating that you would be pushing the boxes. That is absolutely brilliant!

_Terrain_ is probably the better translation of _Gelände_ :) Works in both senses.

(But German isn't my native language, so I might have this wrong too.)
@@Hydrazine1000 I mean, you can just translate the whole word to "terrain vehicle" and it makes perfect sense. Not that tricky.
imho Gelände in this context should mean offroad.
@@colajunkie13 But... it doesn't. Gelände literally means terrain.
So far this is my favorite building montage and I love the original song too! Great video!

Same with hydroneer. I mean they made a mod for him, AND sassed him with it.

ROFL @ Paddy being the driver. We always knew who the responsible one was!
The G-wagon being a British vehicle, Matt should have been the driver though.

The building montage music is always so good how does he do it. Never misses
His meta goes so deep, vocals start at 4:20
Both of the songs were absolute BANGERS
With removing the truck's load being pretty well known cheese, I'm slightly surprised PB3 doesn't have goal flags for boxes.

The G Wagon is an amazing deep cut. Devs are true fans (which we knew, but still!)
4:20 The music is legendary, I would buy a cassette of all these jams!!!!!
Wow. You have *arrived*, they honored your contributions with an official game asset!
And that montage. My dude. That hit notes I was not prepared for this afternoon. RIP Chester.
Matt does the engineering. Paddy does the driving.
This is the funniest and coolest thing ever. So awesome that they actually put him and paddy in a G Wagon!
The song montage in this is literally gold, one of the best so far, someone give RCE and his editor an oscar already
That in the end cover was one of your best work ever, other than trust me I’m an engineer of course
Whats even more funny is that Patty is driving 😂
Weekly challenge idea:
An architecht has poisoined paddy and have ruined the road to the vet, you gotta make a bridge over all the nayhem caused by architects in less than X amount of time
Very happy the weekly challenges are back!
When creating the song takes 10 times as much time as solving the level😂
An absolute masterpiece!
The song is a masterpice
I think it was the time they added you, proud to be RCE fan
Thankyou for the amazing content! It always makes me happy whenever you post. this must be the greatest moment of your life 😂
This is awesome! I'm so happy for you! Keep up the great work and the "strong" engineering!
4:19 , I am listening to the song while studying civil engineering. It's unnecessarily fire.
In the end song was fire! Gratz on the g wagon! That’s so coool
This is the type of wholesome content I live for. Good on ya mate!
That's really cool, makes sense with all the free PR you're giving them. I didn't even know of the game until your channel, would be interesting to know how many sales they've gotten through you/that method.
That "In The End" remix was genuinely hot as hell man, I'd love to see a full version
I'm so happy for you that you got added into the game you really deserve it
of all the montage songs this one is probably my favorite, it fits so well xd
I'm so glad you used my suggestion for an "In the End" parody!😂
Love that Paddy is driving the G Wagon as well
Love that your pupper appears to be the one behind the wheel...which I was a bit surprised to see was on that side.
Right away he ignores the foundations. Did he forget because they're expensive and he avoids them at all costs? Or is he just avoiding them again.
he's avoiding them on purpose :)
He is avoiding them if he can since there so expensive
This was the first montage song I actually wanted to join in. Loved it. Good job rce. Can’t wait for more.
I love how at 2:30 he's just talking about the g wagon with the truck halfway in the water
Came looking for yet another cool RCE video with some fun content, but i left with a rad song. Was just gonna go shower and out of nowhere i hear the tune of In The End by Linkin Park. Bloody awesome, Matt!
When will you release the full remix?
Bestest montage ever. Never thought I'd an engineering cover of In the End
4:18 holy crap that was amazing!
these polybridge songs are actually top top tier il remember these for years to come
This feels very much like a 2mil subscriber special, ha ha! So cool! And to think where you were three years ago just playing the game
10/10 LP spoof, Chester would be proud
this montage made me smile so hard my face hurt! thank you!
That has got to be my favorite song of yours so far, 🎵🎵but in the end, you're always gonna top it🎶
1:52 That wheel looked a lot like a powerful shape
it is a necessity at this point that you do an album with your engeneer songs RCE, love your vids and your songs !
That was the best building montage yet, by far!
This song was the best one yet by far, keep this up mate!
"He's only a dog" - only Paddy trusted to drive the car lol
So amazing ! GGs mate !
Love that paddy is the driver as well. 😂😂
The song was great today - you’re getting better with each one and I love it xD
How exciting for you! You are a part of history forever now!
That is so cool! Well done!!
you're awesome matt!! love the song. and maybe one day we can see real pics of you and paddy in a real Gwagon! lol
ngl i actual forgot about the g-wagon from infraspace and every time i see 1 it brings me back (yes i know it wasnt that long ago)
absolutely glad your channel has grown as much as it has
RCE: “I can’t see what the gaps are for”
Me: “wow Matt really hates foundations”
Nobody talking about how paddy has the wheel!? What a clever boy 🐩
matt is the no:1 promoter of poly bridge he deserves it
The song in this Video is my favorite so far, they get better and better each time
best bridge montage song yet...
but i don't know....🤔 the bridge taking the cargo truck but not the cargo seems kinda.... architect-y.
