You are a genius. You created a *reloading crossbow* in a game that has no business creating reloading crossbows. Well done, and an impressive job to you, sir!
This is true Got a bridge that is no strong enough Add some steel Got some broken bones ADD SOME STEEL TO THE AREA got a problem with someone *ADD SOME STEEL IN THEIR HEAD*
A railgun would propel a projectile forward through the use of powerful electromagnetic forces, this is why railguns are usually so gosh dang big in video games.
We all know that RC is brilliant but, you must spend a lot of time editing to make it look so easy. The best improvement this game could make is to have it where you're able to change the color of beams while you are building. It's beyond frustrating not being able to tell what is going where, and it quickly becomes a complicated mess and makes things extremely difficult, especially when troubleshooting. Thank you RC, awesome channel.
I already know it will be cool with the title Also, do you know : factorio, satisfactory and hydroneer ? If not, I really think you would enjoy it 🙂 Also ultimate tic tac toe is the best minecraft serie
