Welcome to another episode of Trailmakers! Today I want to try to create a drone that using only a single tail propellor for all of it's thrust. Will only one propeller have what it takes?

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.

@deathvai364 18 күн бұрын

@@darkeninglight2551 the maximum output to a component will still be 1.00, however you can send a higher signal to “boost” it. SO if you have a continuous input of 0.5 into thrusters it will have half output. Then if i add manual thrust it will go to full output at the value 1.5. If i then add any thing else or remove the continuous output nothing will change. Now i believe that logic gates will just keep sending the value adding it up over and over again that’s why you need to use 0 output. It will still output something into logic gates to work with and gates and stuff and then you just add an output to the logic that connects to function components like thrusters or engines. Example. Attitude outputs 1 into a OR gate. The OR gate now outputs 2 into a AND gate. Then the AND gate with an output of -1 will send a 1 to the connection component. It’s quite confusing tbh and i don’t know if im right but it’s what ive had to deal with. It’s also how you can get a low power if on console. Using 0.1 into another 0.1. I hope that im right and that this helps 😅

@@darkeninglight2551 Any collective input greater than the max 1.0/-1.0 value will not make a single block's output stronger (ex: a propeller does not get stronger when receiving 2.0 worth of signals), but values greater than those thresholds _do_ count towards the total value that needs to be _negated_ by other signal sources before the reverse value can trigger For example, if a propeller is receiving 2.0 worth of signals, then two -1.0 signals (collectively, -2.0) are required to _negate_ it (reset to 0) before _additional_ negative signals will actually be recognized as negative (-2.1 would count as -0.10, -2.2 would count as -0.20, and so on)

You could have saved a lot of weight by removing one of the servos that was touching the propellor. No need to have a servo on both the left and right on that. At 17:38 you could have removed this exact servo without issues, instantly saving 5kg.

Hi scrapman, to improve the exeletation of the prop/rotor use a distance sensor and set the range to zero, invert trigger and set the output to 0.03 and hook it into the rotor. That will pretty much negate the spin up time of the rotor and give you better and faster controll while hovering. Keep on doing what you want👍

@toothlessblue 19 күн бұрын

These latest drone videos make me want to buy the game just to make a drone, these designs seem overcomplicated. I feel like you'd end up with a much more agile craft if you left the thrust static to the body, and rotated the whole craft instead - negating the need for moving parts. With 4 propellers, pitch/roll control is accomplished just with input configuration, you'd need a gyro to control yaw. With a single prop as here, you need 3 gyros, one for each pitch/roll/yaw. If you need stabilisation, put it on a toggle so the pilot can decide when it's needed.

@Emily-eg2su 18 күн бұрын

"I feel like you'd end up with a much more agile craft if you left the thrust static to the body, and rotated the whole craft instead - negating the need for moving parts." I'm pretty sure he knows, and just wants the ride for the driver to be the part that's smooth and not tilting. He generally makes crafts that do have static thrust, sometimes having the thrust move instead is just the fun part.

@Loop_Kat 18 күн бұрын

That sounds more like a difference in goals, tbh. It's very easy to make a flying craft with static thrust that just uses gyros to control pitch, roll, and yaw, but Scrapman specifically wanted this to be controlled through some amount of thrust vectoring (calling it a "drone" probably wasn't the best choice because they do tend to operate more like what you're describing). If anything, I'd say it would be a better challenge to make a craft that's self-stabilizing through fine tuned balance, aerodynamics, and logic rather than relying so heavily on upright gyros to always maintain perfect orientation

@toothlessblue 18 күн бұрын

update, got the game, made the thing props are annoying to use for drones because of how unresponsive they are - it takes a long time for them to spin up and respond to input, and you need gyros to provide stability anyway so that it doesn't continue spinning endlessly (so you may as well use them for control)

Piece of advice: For hover mode, if you're using a speed sensor at 0 Km/h and you loose altitude, try using it pointing up with the mode "trigger bellow" on and a small speed of 0.1 or something to compensate the response time of the height thrust.

Day 7 of asking scrapman to do a multiplayer battle with train-planes in trailmakers (a train with wings on all of the cars) My suggestions: (don't read If you want to make up your own rules) - I would suggest using a canard layout for the engine car so it can get off of the ground and no control surfaces or propellers/thrusters on the trailing cars as they will be lost in battle. I think a good complexity limit would be 75 blocks for the engine car and 50 for all trailing cars. Vertical stabilization would be tricky because a traditional rudder would probably only work on the final car but the final car could get shot off so you might have to resort to a gyro for vertical/yaw stabilization in the engine car.
