You should use bombs instead of ballast and throw them at an actual castle. I would love to see that.

"It's not actually falling apart or anything." *everything breaks* Quality content

You could try building a "Floating Arm Trebuchet", they are a bit more complex but are much more efficient than regular trebuchets.

3:45 "And you see here, it actually looks pretty good" He says as it breaks

Pretty sure the weight side (the one with all the ballasts) is supposed to be 1/4 the sling side, just as a general rule for all trebuchets

I feel like this is what happened in a world without gunpowder. Timers, sensors, automatic ropes, but no black powder

Amazing machine!

I love it when a new KZfaqr I really like posts a video right when I’m binging

At last, the superior siege weapon

Ah yes, using Ploybridge diamond strategies in Besiege

"the front and the back fell of but that's not really that big of a deal".....

*entire trebuchet destroys itself* "don't worry about that"

*the machine literally breaks into 3* Reid captain:not that much of a problem

I would've liked to see a demonstration, and a magazine too. Great stuff as always though.

Senior year of high school i made a trebuchet for physics and optimized it as much as a part time working student could afford. It was funny to see myself looking at certain elements thinking about "well you want the arm ratio to be 3:1" or the rope to either be positioned on the front end for a modern trebuchet or how it was for a classical trebuchet, but above all, there is an ideal weight ratio, and adding more weight does not simply correlate to further distance

Now that's an interesting Trebuchet. Amazing work as always.

Bro thats WICKED🤯🤯🤯!!!! Love your videos man!

Impressively effective. Also satisfying

Respect man keep it up!

"the front and back fell off but that wasn't really much of a big deal" POV your a soldier besieging a castle: "huh, is it supposed to fall apart like that?"

awesome stuff mate, I'm from australia and love your videos. I love looking at mechanical things in games

It is only because you're making those videos incognito, that people still let you into hardware stores.

Always amazing thumbnails 😆 👍

The engineering you put into these puts a big grin on my face.

Thanks for making videos. They are enjoyable to watch on my break at work.

Recently started watching but just want to say have been loving your video's, keep it up!

This whole video was awesome! The trebuchet came out so amazingly well. Kinda wish we could have seen it actually destroy a tiny mock castle or something, though. Still, very 10/10.

I love besieges atmosphere and designs

I love your besiege videos. Can't wait for more

I love Trebuchets, it's such an underated war tool. It's extremely simple to wrap your head around it and it performs like a beast. Seeing it in action is super satisfying too, how the individual rotations culminate in a extremely fast moving projectile and then recoil from the heavy weight swinging back and forth.

love your videos keep up the good work :D

I love this ideas because its perfect

This man is so good at besiege that he could probably invent a working radio

Repeating medical weaponry scetch colorized circa 900

I would love to see how you try to recreate, change and improve other siege engines

These videos are just so sick. I honestly don't think I've seen a video of yours that I haven't enjoyed.

Man creates a trebuchet that flings stone 300 yards

Awesome design!

This dude reminds me of Nile red, but with games

Virgin Catapult Vs. Chad Trebuchet

I have to build a functioning trebuchet for an engineering project, thanks for helping me get an idea of what to do!

A counter weight powered car. Or whatever the swingy thing is. Anyway have a good day and bye

I can see that it can also quite easily have a store of projectiles easyily rolled into place to be grabbed and loaded, so if you needed it to you could get it to have more ammo, that's pretty cool.

Incredible

Dude I just re-installed Besiege yesterday, this looks great! I'm a brainlet however and still figuring out how to "aim" projectiles like cannons meanwhile you built a trebuchet!

Ik I’m really late but I love ur vids man keep it up 👍

The trebuchet moves during launch. It means that some of the kinetic energy is wasted, which is obviously not good. I believe that making the arm longer would fix the problem, but still, great contraption ^^

Amazing content as always. I think (counterintuitively) you can get more distance simply by increasing the weight of the projectile. As I understand it, more weight in the projectile will take more energy from the counterweight. Meaning both the counterweight and the projectile will be moving slower, while the rig will move faster. The more energy you can take from the counterweight, the more energy you’ll have in the projectile, yielding possible increases in distance. But you’d have to ask Tom Stanton to be sure 👍

Great build! btw there was just a little bit too much of saying "a little bit"

The superior siege weapon 2.0

Ayy new besiege let's go

Rapid fire trebuchet, Rapid fire trebuchet, Rapid fire trebuchet, Rapid fire trebuchet...

I love your videos

Gorgeous!

Amount of times he says "as you can see here" = quantity of Adderall he has consumed

300 years of medieval engineering attempts in one video

can you make it reload more than once?

Thats insane lol. You could also throw rockets with logic on them so when the arc is right they fly and then get more distance

Yessss Besiegeeeeee!!!!

turning the most superior siege engine more superior

i love your vids

WHOA! If you were teleported to de medieval ages, and also got as an wizzard... well, i will just say that the machines would be very difrent XD

super cool dude

1:21 shwivle

6:01 Sounds like a foreshadowing for a gatling trebuchet idk....

woah sick!!

You should play some Medieval Engineers. With a couple of mods you can make some really amazing contraptions.

yay more besiege:D

I think you can make a rngine with this. because when u launch, the platform moves at a speed that is coolfor it's size. so if you make it constantly spin without it launching the whole thing into the air with grabbers and balloon blocks that push down and some other stuff that give more downforce and traction, it might turn out pretty cool.

0:16 THOUGHT HE WAS BUILDING SMTH ELSE THEN

WOOOOO YEEEEAAAAHHHH! LOVE TREBUCHETS! WOOOOOOOOO!

you might be able to make some sort of ballast magazine so that you can have more than two shots on the trebuchet

I would recommend using the symmetry tool!

It would be cool building a glider launched by trebuchet

''the front and the back fell off but thats not really a big deal'' what

once you notice how much he says "a lil bit" you hear it every sentence lmao

I wanted to make a "litle bit" counter but I lost count. nice content.

Watching this reminded me of something Tom Stanton did. He built a rather interestingly designed trebuchet. Honestly I don’t know how to describe it (it’s called a whipper arm trebuchet) but if you want to look it up the vids name is: Optimizing a Trebuchet by the channel: Tom Stanton I think it would be cool to try and design something in besiege using the ballast trick he used. Hope you don’t mind me sharing a vid name in your comments.

"Putting on a few extra braces" Every besiege player knows this pain.

"making a reloading trebuchet" *Only can reload once*

If you use anglometers on the arm of the trebuchet you can control the launch angle a little bit better. Love you content, not very many besiege youtubers anymore. You should try and make car suspension next it would be interesting to see.

You should make a video of beating the game with only medieval siege weapons

How have I never heard of this game before??

GOOD IDEA KingRaulDamian

We should still use trebuchets in war

Imagine this guy being an engineer for the military

you should travel back in time and help them make this

Nice

I would love to see you build a train with an engine and tracks and stuff

could you make a rope bridge(for cars) or golf playing machine(uses the various different cars as a golf ball) in poly bridge 2

idk if anyone's done this, but a b52 with a huge bomb to drop would be awesome

I think you can have a great future in control engineering if you choose to.

I would not even wonder if one day he just sais: ok so today I wanna invent a cure for cancer. And actually does it 🤣🤣🤣

you use bracing to stop it from wobbling i just start using 1 blocks in a weave pattern

scotland been real quiet, since this was build.

It looks more like a hammer machine

Wouldn't it make more sense to use the swinging of the arm to actually pull it back up instead of stopping it? Thinking about it in terms of 'preserving energy' and making the whole thing a bit faster...

This man reminds me of Nile red but gaming

Hey Reid captain can you do a video on besiege console? It came out not long ago on xbox one and series x/s
