Okay, now that we have gotten the most obvious title ever out of the way let’s dive into the latest Trailmakers patch: 1.7.4:


Power Coupling: Connect blocks using an electric current and traverse land and sea at high speeds like Anakin Skywalker in his famous podracer.

The block has a complexity cost of 5 and the color is fully customizable!



You can also set the opacity of the beam, the stiffness, and choose to hide the emitters so that only the beam is visible.



Our beta testing community has already built some sick podracers to showcase what it looks like in action. Watch the trailer here:




We already showed you this a couple of weeks ago but it’s worth bringing up again because it looks really good and it is of course also a part of the 1.7.4 patch.



Both the Glowing and Chrome skins now support all blocks. On top of that, all blocks in the game has gone through an optimization make-over making them prettier and saving memory!



We have also improved network stability and performance!

Release: TBA

Full patch notes are coming next week. Stay tuned!

Hello Trailmaker!

In the first Build Challenge of 2024 we challenged the community to make blueprints that best recaps 2023 for them.

We got some personal takes, dioramas depicting all the updates in Trailmakers, and much more. Starting off the year with some strong submissions and now two people have put their name on the list of candidates for Builder of the Year 2024!

A year has passed and what a year it has been.



In Spring we introduced 1.6 Wings and Weapons as well as Airborne - our biggest campaign to date - which was played by more than 50,000 of you which is just overwhelming. 1.6 gave the players the long requested Center of Forces feature in the builder along with miniguns, ailerons, balloons and most importantly: Chirpos!

Our most ambitious update to date: Spacebound! With our first teaser reaching almost 400,000 views on YouTube we had a hunch that we were making the right choice. With the new vast Space Sector map you all found your place among the stars and destroyed the pirate base on Nassau and all their pew pew turret towers to claim the loot for yourself.

The Christmas Island is not a new concept to Trailmakers but we definitely expanded on the idea (and the island!). As you may have seen we are also giving the VIP seat away for free from December 24 - 31 to both PC and console users!


22 Build Challenges with more than 1000 submissions across all platforms. We truly celebrated the community’s creativity and for the first time in Trailmakers history it culminated in one final Builder of the Year challenge that will be an annual thing going forward. Because we never get tired of showing off the skill of our players.

Thank you for playing, Trailmakers



Let’s round off the year with some stats. We are blown away by the sheer number of Trailmakers in our community and we hope to smash all of these records in 2024. Again, thank you so much for playing our game. We promise to keep it exciting in the new year. ♥

HO HO HO-ld up, what’s going on in Danger Zone?

The brand new Christmas Island has gotten a festive makeover and the Chirpos have begun their migration to celebrate it with you (and give you presents).



Every day there will be a new present to open on the island, culminating in one special present on December 24.

While you’re waiting for the presents to arrive, build a sleigh, throw some skis on it and race your friends down three different slopes (if you want an advantage by throwing a rocket engine on your sleigh we promise we won’t tell anyone)

So boot up the game and open your first present!
Merry Christmas, Trailmakers. ♥
