I remember the old days when triforcing was something new and I was struggling to understand it.

I like quick building bots to suit what ever play-style I wanna try out. I do try tri-forcing them at times, but rarely. I find aesthetic to be more important for me to have fun.

I really miss TX-1 cubes!!!😭😭😭

I miss the old robocraft still.

Block spam is still just as practical, ._.

Can we have a history and overview of electroshiel? Strengths weaknesses and where they all started?

I don't know why but the Music makes me so nostalgic. I really miss the days there the Game was still fun.

Hey, that blue and orange tesseract looks familiar. ;)

Triforcing is just automatic for me now, I just build triforcing by the habit and when i see i am triforcing some new thing im testing XD

I rodforce ALL of my bots and they are still very effective :D Great video Space !

BIG Thanks to you SK for EVERY extremly interresting and informating Video you've made so far, you are just the best KZfaqr in History fo Robocraft and its Builts (and others... :D) And thx for letting me be a part of a video in my first time ever x3 AAAAND thx specially for this Vid because i used trirforcing a lot but not perfect. i understand it much more now and I'll think about if it is worth it every time before i built another awesome Bot. thanks very much for the all the great time of all your videos i watched. PS.: damn it i should have eat my Curry-Sausage Chips/Crips while watching this ;D

I never truly knew bout it untill now and i understand how it works thanks bro

Yeeee brudddaaah xD I use atleast some triforcing on all my bots. Mainly with rods. Great vid bro!! Keep up the good work :D

Wow thanks a lot for the triforce tutorial

They should add the old texture back and the old gun sound effects back, and qlso the blocks tier. I miss those SO much! :'(

Triforcing was there since the birth of the game, but I still recall the very first build that exploited the mechanic and showed it to the masses, also deeming it "triforce armor". I cannot recall the builder nor can I find the original forum post, but all I remember was it was called the "ugly bot".

I was using rodforcing method without knowing about it until now Re: actually im getting killed much faster than just using blocks everywhere.

Yo holy shit! I did the Reaper drawing in the beginning where he wanted the big kids cup. That's pretty awesome to see it used in a video!

Even to this day I use two methods, 1 I call fencing and 1 I call blockade. Fencing is just tons and tons of struts surrounding the bot, supporting a corrugated panel that soaks up the damage like you would see on real tanks and apcs today. And blockade is a wrap of armoured stunts that only connect to the bot at the base of the chassis and at any weapon mount point or mobility point. Both work surprisingly well. And another trick I have done from time to time is to build an actual pillbox on tank treads. Impossible to knock off mobility since its in the bot, impossible to destroy when a medic uses your walls and size as a shield and protects your weapons via a strange clipping with shields.

Another component of rodforcing you forgot to mention is clipping. Sloped blocks can be placed in the same location as a rod, wrapping around it. Regardless of the orientation of the block, or angle of attack, if the midsection of the rod is shot where the slopes are located, the slopes will take the damage rather than the rod. After the sloped blocks were shot off, they would remove the section of the rod's hitbox along with them, allowing the rods to be shot straight through the middle of a rod without it actually hitting or dealing damage. Very useful for protecting any mid sections of a bot or weak joint by making them physically unshootable after the first attack. Also useful for protecting weapon mounts, preventing your opponent from shooting the mounting rod to disarm the weapon.

I just came back to this game after years, and........ wow

Thank you it really helps To build a good tank

great vid

I knew about the triforcing and why it worked, but I have no clue how to do it, or what parts were best even with all the changes. I wish I could experiment with the weapons and blocks to learn this myself, but I can't.

I remember when I used to use higher tier armor for my weapon mounts. Now I pretty much just rodforce.

awesome video

damn, its been a long time since i played this game the first time, i liked the old days when you were an astronaut, you leveled up to gain cpu and there was the tiers system, and you only had smgs, railguns and plasmas, and just wheels, hovers and wings. In those days robocraft was one of the best games i've ever played, and it kept becoming better until megabots, the it was the most perfect game, and it started to get so fucking shitty to what it is now... R.I.P. Robocraft

Space The teired mounts is probably is now a thing to be used again since the tx cubes are back, and them struts type of triforcing is really effective scince they have a lot of health in comparison to the other blocks and is even more effective with other meth(ods) of triforcing with it.

The history of Gromek

Wow I forgot about you.... Idk how but I like your vids :)

The good old days of Robocraft! I miss them ;-;

Man, I miss old Robocraft

i miss the older WoT-like gameplay which u need medic to heal/regenerate

Is the motar being added to the next update?

space can you please give me the link of the song u used its great sounding please

i have a good one for your next vid (if you read this) the gunbeds have come back and you find them in almost every match cuz of high health, but can dael out less damage because of the smaller weapons they ue for energy consumption.

They're is another one.... It's basically like cactus-ing and brick shield but designed for plasma.... Believe it was found while making spaceship designs.... Basically you would have a cylindrical style but and then have connecting rings every other block about a 2+ block space away... What's supposed to happen is area of effect denial for plasma basically.... Unless it was mega plasma.... The plasma shot would hit the outer ring and only take line 2 or 3 blocks with it across the ring... Because it's extended from the body and there's nothing next to it.... It just centers on the impact area.... If you still can't imagine how it would look... Imagine a space station with gravity rings along its length This style is also used in Space Engineers to reduce damage chance of missiles to the hull and underlying thrusters (sometimes these rings were only connected at two points or 4 drowning in the shape of the boot and preference

Ik nog crying :'(. Just watching my childhood and how my favorite game felt apart :(

is that robot still there at 10:09? cause i want to buy one

I've came here after reviewing robocraft on steam, ahh... Good old memories. Sadly this game is dead for me, especially after one bug, that deleted my 5 years old plane. Maybe someday, someone will remake Robocraft, in the same way we all enjoyed.

New idea: have a rod and a big umbrella like thing on top to prevent rails

so what was funny,is when he said he has pizza and will keep us well fed,i just so happened to be eating pizza! XD Thx for the pizza Space! :P

Is the robocrew logo a protoseeker?

2:21 Wtf those graphics thooooo! And the camera is so low that your guns almost line up with it! I wish the camera was like that, it would make leading shots at air targets much easier, and shooting bots with rails or ions from close range much easier/effective.

Worth itt

from what I can see traditional triforcing is only useful agains the chainshredder, smg, and rarely the shotgun since the behavior of the projectiles are still standard. let me know if im leaving out any weapons that damage cubes in the same manner.

I hate Robocraft now ... i wanna Robocraft how it was beforse 2015 ;( When Megas and other was the teams...

Soooo... is triforce still worth it? After Tx cube update

wait they got rid of pilot seats ...... whats next? mega bots?

Can u make the history of thundercloud?

09:07 Dude, that is my old landship :| i think it 2 years old :))

Wow, so there is such technique...

Dang... all my impressive Robocraft knowledge is so out-of-date. I missed seeing the update where the health got scaled to the mass. But I knew that triforcing (at least how I knew it way back when wings weren't even a thing) is dead. I am glad to see that damage routing is still a valid strategy, though. Though I wish rails had actual penetration. For one, small section of time, they did. They could pierce through a wall of cubes and hit one other, if it was thin enough. (The transferred damage to the "sides" was significantly reduced to compensate.)

I entered Robocraft just this September, and I was wondering why my tri-forcing was not working. With the new Fast and Formidable update, all my bots just kept dying, so I kinda gave up on the game...

The history of sealclubbing...? You've done a lot of videos on different types, but I'd like to see an overview.

dude ima use your vid in a part of my vid

Before I saw the truth, I thought triforcing was just excessive use of slopes. This made my bots particularly ugly

thanks for the Pizza Space :D

9:02 Trippy...

this is like the history of ROSEFALL

I’m going to cry

I felt really sad cause I didn't get the chance to try my triforcing ideas on megabots...

BEST VIDEO IN THE WORLD

March 30th 2016 never forget #RIPMegabots

yeah triforcing now is separating layers, and gun mounts instead of wrapping they whole bot in triforcing like it used to.

essencial

I want armored core blocks back for the xb1 version.

"rodforcing" without context this could mean something else entirely

always find ti weird when people say triforcing is dead, sure whatever you do you but that dont mean other builds dont need it (eg: planes/ drones where weight management is crucial)

Heck, so damage spread is dynamic with plasmas That explains why flaks hurt on frame bots

lol miss the old stuffs

Where is my Pizza?

I remember when I tried to Triforce my Rod Tank to the limits... Worked too well...

GREAT

I once ran into some people who triforced then armored it.

barrier protection and resistivity was added way before in 2014 known as the anti-gunbrella effect and it was global and not part specific :P just saying

Do one on teasla bot

Prism weave can be more stronger if you replace one side with cube instead both side with prism.

What about that thing that could go inside the reactor? I remember using it, and me and my friends pretty much won every game we played using it.

It sucks how the strongest bots are always the ones that are the least creative. IE: Block of bricks on treads with guns.

I don't know how to triforce pls help

What become Triforcing today ? What design is still used ?

Sigh. I miss the old tier system. The game just doesn't have the spark that it used to have. The only real reason that freejam removed the tier system, was because their lazy, and didn't want to make 10 versions of every weapon, even though it was mostly 5 tiers then another 5 tiers with some yellow bits of plastic on them... And some didn't even go below T6! Damn you, freejam. Damn you for being lazy.

Is rodforcing steall good to use?

Interesting

"Struts do not fit in certain build styles because of how *T H I C C* it is"

Triforc working now?

Cool

well, i have to say, that the spread of damage is and was not random at all. if that was the case, high alpha damage shots would create irregular shaped holes, and not almost perfect shapes

this video makes me sad, irealy want the old robocraft without with only 4 guns , pilot seat, tiers and how it was like 1 and 0.5 years ago :(

wait isnt that pixel404's intro? or was that yours? or are you guys in a group

I honestly don't know why they even did this, were they trying to teach players to build cube spam bots? when I started, I felt like only using prisms for my bots because they were light. after some time one of my bots named "terminator" was named this, simply because it was undistroyable but after watching videos,I figured that I was overtriforcing my bot. after I found this out, it was too late. the devs were destroying triforcing, I was getting rekt, couldn't do any dmg, and overall I couldn't give up and build block spam bots. simply cuz, I didn't know how. this was in the good old days of 2013-14 robocraft

bring tier blocks back #

Jonathan !!!

I started playing this game in 2013. I stopped in 2016. Most know why

Is triforce dead now? If it isnt what techniques are still good?

Now all cubes weigh the same. Angled slope same mass as Health Cube

i have no idea how to triforce

Could you do a video on the history of towers, ples space ;=; I need your pizza vids

triforce isn't dead. There're a lot of techniques nowadays
