Information dense videos about technical aspects of fun, sandbox games. :-) My videos have focused on Terraria guides to wiring and the 'hoik' trick. Also, TerraTech's neglected crafting system.
Apologies for the low amount of new content, this is due to my ongoing poor health: ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, AKA Chronic Fatigue Syndrome).

I One-Tick Spawn-killed Every Boss! In 0.3.13. - Concise Core Keeper - Ep3
A fun and powerful trick from #CoreKeeper 0.3.13, briefly explained. (Manual subtitles included.) Patched out in the 0.4 Sunken Sea Update.

🙄 Production notes: kills all filmed in Core Keeper 0.3.13, one day before the 0.4.0 Sunken Sea update, which broke this trick. Which is to be expected with an Early Access game. 😅
So no 1-tick kills on Omoroth or Morpha, sadly. And sadly you can't try this out for yourselves. Sorry. My experiments had been failing for weeks because I'd been quitting out, to back up the save first, in case I messed up. And I later figured out that reloading the world resets all the drill's accumulated damage! 🤦♂

Imagine having your video displayed IN THE OFFICIAL WIKI lol Also, I feel like they should have your video for the "introduction" of hoiks and then lower in the same page put Sorbet Cafe's video for a longer explanation of how they can be used
I make it thank you
the most helpful tech for me was at 14:32
Small but perfectly formed. :-)
Hello Mr.Gravitas.Are you still fine?
Dude youre awesome. 8 years later just blew my mind. Good description with examples. Thanks a lot
thx for the advice 21:02 to 21:30
started off really well then you went in to super fast mode and i lost the plot.
Does this still work today?
Mostly yes, I think... Lemme know. 🙂
@@ZeroGravitas It appears to still work but I have not tested how far you can go
I must say, I do miss this channel quite a bit. It was truly fascinating to gain insight into the inner workings of games. The Terra Tech videos, in particular, were a delight to watch. You managed to strike a perfect balance between entertainment and education. I genuinely hope that you are doing well.
🥲👍
Pylons
Please return the world needs you #terratechworlds
Here from aggressive bungee 👇
You should play Terratec worlds I would love to see that
can i please get more snapshots in like zip file coz I don't have the steam version of terratech...
with modern terratech, is it faster to have 1 geocorp auto miner or your 4x auto miner
I've not played, but I think that I heard the 4 is faster, but you can't always get that many on, of course. Not sure if you can sometimes fit 2 GeoCorp miners, in theory...?
@@ZeroGravitas in theory, but I did find that even with four running it seemed my geocorp one simply produced more resources... at least it depleted the vein faster
Your like a mad scientist with these builds but there so useful and your videos are so helpful I love it
Wow!
OH YEAH let mE INTO you oleite seam
Is it possible to hoik spikey ball trap projectile? Asking for a friend whom I hope to troll
Does the skybug still work in the latest (and last lol) version of KSP1? I want to get as much science as I can out of kerbin before I commit rocket :V
Sorry, I don't know, I've not played for years, sadly. I think there were some aerodynamic changes. But the exact placement of the mini-wings could always be a bit finicky, too.
@@ZeroGravitas It's all good.
I feel sad I got to a voiced part after I finished the game. Would have loved to listen while raging at the RR missions.
the aircraft from bird of prey is the aircraft you crash into in the intro
so I went from finding that spamming left and right on the upper edge of a pillar of stair platforms travels you upwards very fast to finding hoiks. No block or entity is a match for me anymore.
You redescended it for yourself? That's always amazing, to uncover an emergent game play mechanic.
@@ZeroGravitas Indeed! I did find it a bit difficult to research hoiks though, as they are usually not referred to with more simple terminology though, such as sloped / wedge blocks being called teeth or the actual mechanics barely being mentioned at all. Hoiks really are extremely useful, and I still find that this video stands up well. Perhaps you could even make an updated video similar to this one to display the other known things that can be done with hoiks, such as item transportation, one-way walls (including to shoot projectiles at enemies without being hit) and more complex setups? Could be a 10-year anniversary of this video even!
@@BritishTrainspotting - If you've already seen my other hoik vids (eg item hoiks) then I'm afraid that's all you're getting. Sorry... I wanted to make more, at the time, but bad health got in the way, as it is still doing now.
@@ZeroGravitas I've had a look at your other videos, and they're really quite good,. Content creation is a sorely underappreciated chore, its not as easy as some think and I fully get that you aren't able to, for whatever reason that may be.
i did not realize you can anchor yourself via the basic solar thing it still makes the game easier for me at the late stage of the campaign
19:36 - I'm sorry friend, but how did you manage to stack so many automatic miners on the same mining vein? The game normally doesn't allow you to do this.
Yeah, it was an old glitch that was fixed before I finished making this video even. 🙂
I like your voice :)
even though this video is getting older and older its still the best terra tech video ive seen
Thank you. ❤
Found your videos through terratech and I love your commentary, your voice is so nice to listen to while i build things, do please upload more I would love to see some new terratech ideas and possibly any new games you may want to showcase!
I love the psychedelic visuals, Mr. Hoik Man.
Man I remember watching this series around the time it was still making episodes, I remembered it because of a person making a fully fledged computer earlier this year. Is T-MEC still an active group?
The forum group posts were meticulously moved into a regular section of the official forums, years ago. And I'm afraid I've not kept up with Terraria at all for years before that. But Queen_Underscore and others seem to have been working on impressive technical builds, recently..
great work bringing that idea to life! I've tried one or two designs like this and never gotten results like this. Very cool
Thanks. I remember it being pretty fiddly to make semi-stable. 🙂 But it could be that the game's physics has been slightly tweaked in the intervening years. I've no idea.
Hope your doin well
Is this still working on 1.4?
It may be, but there were some changes, many years ago that made it, though.
Woah are you still playing Terraria to this day?
Sorry, not been in for many years. But it will always hold a special place in my heart! 🙂
@@ZeroGravitas That's actually surprising, considering the big updates and stuff. But glad that you still love it!
Hey I can't seem to figure out how to get the hooking system that fast mine is slow enough to were they leave before I can get them anyone got any tips please
Are you fine?Why you are not making videos?
Video editing ground to a halt because of my ME/CFS. So I've been focusing on trying to fix it this year. Also got covid, which doesn't help things.
@@ZeroGravitas Hope you get fine soon. Love your videos. Please make some terratech and kerabal vids also and other games.
Heey Where are you?.Terratech has got some updates why won't you make videos then.
Hellooooooooooooooooooo are you there?
With the awesome hover bike at the end, I downloaded it and it was workling great. then like 5 mins later I respawned it straight from the steam link, and it just shot straight up into the air? now it wont stop doing it every time I swap to it, any help?
I remember other's mentioning this issue. I don't remember if it's just a bug (like it'll go away on restart) or needs the control schema reworking. Then resaving... Sorry, try having a fiddle and let us know.
Holly a and will be Terraria ?
nicee
5:33, indeed, you know the 'drill' Heh
Terra Tech just made a pretty big update, now there are some circuitry blocks, while I've yet to see the whole thing, there's tech detection, and all the logic gates. There's also screen displays that can be controlled to display anything you want. I'm also hopeful that you can use it to active any block you want, but I've not been able to check yet.
Sounds good. I hear there's even multiplayer crafting (incoming) too. 🙂
@@ZeroGravitas Neat! Although, I don't know what you're referring to when you say crafting.
can you make it (in the CK Map Tool) so that the maze holes actually count for the size of the maze and now how many blocks it takes up. its fucking irritating me
If you'd like to make a suggestion to the current developer of Map Tool, you could drop a (more polite!) suggestion into their Discord thread, here: discord.com/channels/851842678340845600/1044223052759707678 But keep in mind that the maze holes code was written by the original developer, so you might be asking a lot for them to refactor all of that.
the amount of testing and presentation. i remember seeing this video 4 years ago. and its still amazing. your the type of person id want doing any game i want to learn about mechanically to maximize efficiency/dps
I totally agree! Thank you Zero Gravitas for the amazing work you’ve done. Btw, I see that you are still reading all the comments, why aren’t you posting anything? We miss you!
