Like all forms of damage, there are actually ways to completely or partially bypass kinetic damage. Although hinge armor is usually better due to providing normal protection against other forms of damage, some blocks like the party balloon are completely invulnerable to kinetic damage. Wheels are also invunerable to kinetic damage, but due to their abnormal hitboxes it is quite easy to destroy the block connected to them with kinetic damage.
Yeah, that’s cool, but it’s trailmakers, any way to bypass the damage isn’t even a 50/50 of if it’ll work or not, it’s usually more of a 10/90 chance. But I’m sure you know this already, as we all do.
I actually didint know that a pile of snow could be so deadly. I guess if you make a a snowball 2 meters in diameter go 600kph irl it would do some serious damage. And I find most of your tutorials very useful, including this one. Keep it up!
So scrap man actually (for what reason we don’t know) tested the speed of the rocket and it flies at like 177.1 or something MPH which i find is kinda slow visually but fast otherwise
I’ve always pronounced it like X-OR, as in the letter X then the word or, because it’s the abbreviation of two words, Exclusive and or, which are separate words, obviously, so it makes more sense to me to separate the the parts from different words. I honestly didn’t know people pronounced it differently, cool :]
This should work with any weapon, including bomb bays, you can even launch your own projectiles using this and/or magnets to make a railgun too, one way to protect against these kinds of kinetic weapons is to use magnets to repulse them away, ive also had my friend's kinetic rods be deflected by sloped armor
This is all correct. For magnet railguns I did make my own type of ammo that isn’t just a rod 🤣. It’s armor piercing, gets through 6 hull blocks before running out of energy. And it’s small so I have a 16 round mag but the magnet shields def work for blocks, but sadly not bullets 😅
I love it when you say something is difficult to put on a plane bc I immediately take it as a challenge and end up putting it on a plane and learning something along the way. I now have a plane with both this and a stealth drive, it not easy to fly with both active at once but definitely possible. great video as always
If you want armor, particularly against explosives, use 2x1 shields, and heavy blocks. As an alternative 1x1 pipes grouped up maybe good armor too. 1x1 pipes and 2x4 blocks have the same health. It's better to use smaller blocks As for the heavy blocks they do in fact have more health, including rounded
Amazing video! I'm seeing a consistency in builds and explanations with this chanel especially when building is concerned! I'd suggest you give your take on RC Glitch! I sense great potential with guided weapons or even as a spot drone for long range artillery exactly for this piston glitch Love this chanel and your work so far, keep it up and good luck man!
Ive stacked up to what i call a level 4 piston railgun. Four stacks. Very stable and repeatable. It just takes some clever geometry to maximize rigidity and minimize weld groups
Yes that’s very true. A while after I made this video I focused more on these railguns and found new more reliable ways to make these railguns level 4-6. So great job g
From my experience is you can have weapons with tracking but the game doesn’t register the speed increase from the pistons which leads to missing at further ranges
This video is inaccurate now, Since flashbulb games modified the crates in a way where It causes 0 kinetic damage, but loose hinges and other things and glitch it out (what I experienced on console) once hit by the crate at high enough speeds.
@ProjectSTORM-qb4cn the problem is that I used blocks, and when they go that fast they don't always break. I just used magnates. The type of ammo you use and it's length is the reason it has that speed.
@@Rage7860 the problem with that is when you propel blocks at that speed with magnets is they lose they’re hit registration, meaning they phase through blocks and terrain. That type of weapon is sadly not very applicable. I’ve made them too and I’d say it’s pretty much only good for showing off 🤣

I love that you pronounce XOR as "zore". As a programmer, that's how I've always said it.
Let’s goooo 🤣😎
is that not how its pronounced?
@@h2oninja878 Every other Trailmakers streamer I've watched spelled it out instead of pronouncing it.
b-b-but why!?!@@fewilcoxYT

Thank you that’s awesome to hear 😊
I rarely ever subscribe to TH-camrs but you actually deserved it
Make a Flying Fortress
Thats just a B-29
Thanks storm(to storm)
Another great " how to build" video Storm! I'd love to see a "how to build" on the splitter engine / Squeeze the air engine.
Yep that’s next after a full ufo engine tutorial
@@ProjectSTORM-qb4cn Awesome! Can't wait

Of course, thank ya for the compliments and I’ll add this to the list😊
It whould be fun to see a alien heli put this on it
I have one of those actually 🤣
The more of his videos I watch, the more wisdom I gain
Especially for a lower down channel the quality is great

can you make a tutorial on how to make one of the hover block drones?
I know how to build a ufo engine, but not a drone
From my experience is you can have weapons with tracking but the game doesn’t register the speed increase from the pistons which leads to missing at further ranges
I managed to figure out if yoy do this with tiny cannons it also reduces spread over distance ehich is great for a sniper i suppose
What if you fit a crate dispenser as the projectile?
Works the same way
Make a nuke? With the bombay as shrapnel
Storm I have three words for you, piston accelerated rocket
Next thing to do is use a crate dispenser they do even more damage
I normally see your videos to help me on the game ❤(can I one day play with you?)❤
Yeah of course
Thank you
Whenever I try this my pistons and canon always explode
If You use the crate launcher it does much more damage
now my times of crate cannon torturing are over :(
also any info on the block stacking nano uses?
Had to do it for the peeps getting bullied 🤣
Storm can you ask yuzei boy if he could put his vtols down on the workshop
Anti air goes crazy
Cool!
Y have some really nice tricks
Thank ya and I hope I do 😅 wouldn’t be much of a tutorial channel if I didn’t 🤣
I made this but on a plane like almost a year ago and it obliterated anyone in one shot when I used the crate dispenser
Pretty much yep
you should try to make a heavy bomber but dragon design
pretty neat
I do agree railguns are funny (8:13)
Projectile go zoom tutorial
Fr
This video aged like milk.
(dispensers don't deal damage anymore, incase person reading was uninformed)
Literally ;-;
nice
Amazing vib
Vid
Thank ya
Your supposed to use a crate launcher though, for anyone who actually wants something useful
Nah crates are supposedly seen as cringe by the public, and I did say that crates work as well. I ain’t tryin to be a meta slave 🤣
when i saw railgun, i thought it meant a kinetic railgun, not a boosted cannon... my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
That is actually a thing but it’s a little bit harder to perfect with the new magnets 😅. Vid coming out soon on that tho
I know, i have one lol
It didn't work😞
Just saying your intro looks like using a crussafix on a entity in doors
I love this so much XD
This video is inaccurate now, Since flashbulb games modified the crates in a way where It causes 0 kinetic damage, but loose hinges and other things and glitch it out (what I experienced on console) once hit by the crate at high enough speeds.
I am most likely going to be asking the devs to negate the kinetic damage problem for crates and snowballs. Because I’m crying right now ;-;
I made a railgun that goes at least Mach 10
There are much more powerful railguns that I did not test in this video.. but none that I know of go 7600 mph
@@ProjectSTORM-qb4cn I might have exaggerated tbh. I know it leaves (max) render distance in less than a second
@@Rage7860 cool that’s good, either way it’s destructive and very effective. So I guess I’m saying good job 😅
