Hope you guys enjoy the little teaser that's in the intro, that video is going up in a few days. Wanna see me play more Robocraft 2? I don't have great game sense, but I figure it'll be fun trying to make strange robots.

[@TannerJ07]

If you post it I'll watch it

[@lookatel3658]

Sure

[@query8265]

more robocraft 2 would be nice

[@d15c0rd7]

It would definitely be cool to see what sort of interesting stuff you could do with Robocraft.

Tip: You can press R to repair your robocraft after not taking damage for about 10 seconds (see the bottom right of your screen when in a match)

[@ReidCaptain]

Yeah I was very bad at retreating and just got destroyed every time hahaha

[@mareksoucek4514]

I remembered playing RC, years back when it came out... The hovering "vehicles" with sniper cannon were OP AF...

[@morgan0]

yea and the floating stuff made entirely of corner pieces

[@morgan0]

and the like 3 block ones with a sniper gun 3 tiers up

[@mareksoucek4514]

@@morgan0 yesssss Seat, 3 blocks, sniper. Flying kilometers in the sky, eliminating everything. I remember the players getting angry, when my friend built "plane" it was more like a high altitude hovercraft and killing them, saying he's cheating or that it wasn't fair, since he had too many weapons... But when alone, NIGHTMARE FUEL.

Man, i remember playing the crap out of Robocraft 1. I even have that cosmetic you get for participating in the alpha. I remember when they removed lootboxes from their game after it was anounced that they'd be made illegal in Belgium. I can't believe it's been over 10 years.

[@Vinnie_728]

as a semi-long time Robocraft 1 fan, I'm really happy to see you play this! :)

[@NukesonMods]

"I have to make a minor change to the engine" Deletes everything *

[@probablygeneric429]

That flier was actually using the same gun as you. However they were able to deal more damage due to the lack of armour above your seat. I'd recommend trying to use up all of your available CPU especially when building fliers, as there is no advantave to useing less than the maximum. On your flier for example you could add extra thrusters, antigravs, 2 more lasers (so you have the maximum) and some armour.

[@JustmeSean1971]

Its now cool that Reid Captain was experienced pvp combats

[@crocka1239]

I hope this game becomes like robocraft 1. Played It a long time ago I think it was 10 years now that I think about it... It was great for a while then they did bad change after change and I stopped playing completely. I HOPE that they make the game play for this one as creative as the one I played years back. Great video though Reid 👍

[@jamiehughes5573]

Yeah when they added lootboxes and changed the currency system I left

[@brudighini]

robocraft is a name I haven't heard in years damn

[@jamiehughes5573]

First time I heard of robocraft was from when the Yogscast played it back in the day

[@TuriGamer]

I have no trust in thesw developers that they wont ruin it again

[@puzzlepuddles6712]

i remember the days when rotor blades were necessary for flying machines. you'd commonly see railguns airplanes to snipe people from above

[@nicholasbrosseau-hughes9494]

please play this game more. it was super fun to watch

[@binary_gaming113]

Nice, I loved Robocraft 1

[@TannerJ07]

Nice job not saying first

[@luminance69]

then youll probably hate the sequel

[@Roundtree_stuff]

By doing the sandbox other than you did you can see robots without pilots they seem to be running entirely on those little things on its back and destroying some of them can lead to key failures like them not turning or the gun not shooting so hopefully this can spark up your creativity

[@0bsidianPrime]

Don't know if you've found out by now but you can hook up distance sensors to the guns, use a block to trip them and no you have a more accurate minigun.

[@OdysseyProductions_EDMMusic]

Games-wise, I would recommend playing storm works build and rescue. Great video as ever!

[@MGRracing]

Thats much more like the robocraft i remember when i first started playing years ago. It was more about the building and having fun untill it became over competitive and people started building flying bricks and tesla cubes

[@marche434]

Back in rc1 the vehicle you made was actually meta in like 2015, they were called drones and instead of antigravity there were helium cubes, good times

[@carius2221]

The flying setup you put together seems perfect for building a pod racer!

[@iamsushi1056]

This is a really interesting, more dynamic testing environment for your builds, I love it! Please don't let this be a one-off just because it was sponsored

[@q370p]

Robocraft used to be my favourite game years ago, i'll definitely have to check it out.

[@modlich_303]

YES! THANK YOU CAPITAN!! ROBICRAFT HAD LIKE 10 PLAYERS, AND THANKS TO YOU, THAT WILL CHANGE!!

[@deceptively_flat]

problem most of the time was in mass offset, try building something like a hexocopter with engines and anti-gravity blocks on each end and main gun in the middle of the craft

[@R-BGamingUK]

Good to see a new Reid Captain video!

[@Bananabreadidk]

You should try stormworks it's a great building game that you can push to its absoloute limits

[@trulyinfamous]

I remember watching Birgirpall play Robocraft back in the day, didn't know a sequel was made.

[@DeathlyTombstone]

I remember test playing a game called robo craft on android back in 2019, not sure if this is the same game but you also could customize a vehicle

[@notkarma2984]

The new building possibilities look very good tho gameplay basically remained the same. Hopefully developers don't kill their game again.

[@mastersteamer3697]

yo, ngl I think this game got some potential. I think it is a litle too simple and "default", but If they add more stuff and maybe make it a little more astesically pleasing it could be good. amma try it anyway

[@cthulhurage4580]

This game looks fun like the first i have no idea why the steam page has been review bombed

It has awful reviews because the free to pay system is uncomfortably similar to what killed the first game

Woah, that's not the robocraft I remember!

[@Blackice350]

Your piston motor is actually a really clever idea to create a funtionning drill because you can add as much strenght has your CPU allows it....motors in this game are so weak.....thinking about it, I never tried to stack motors to see if it actually gives more power to the entire thing, let's give it a try.

[@fluidize8532]

Next can you make a hovering WW1 Landship?

[@raas7549]

You should also play stormworks

[@GriffinMcDonnell-ft1ri]

I think I cool idea would be if you could make a tandem rotor military helicopter in besiege? I think that might be interesting.

[@Alex_192.]

I wonder if you can make a machine that detects if an enemy is nearby, floats upwards and then dives into them.

[@ReidCaptain]

Prolly could, would take a lot of trial and error

[@bigboi1004]

Wait there's a robocraft 2???? Huh I wanna try it out

i played the playtest and flying vehicles in robocraft 2 if they dont have the lightest material dont want to fly unfortunately atleast back when i tried to make a flyer

[@mastersteamer3697]

Guys, I have played the game a little and I have a few things to say. one is the opponents are way too overpowered. they have crazy weapons and also since I am in east asia, I get around 300 ping making the game unplayable.

@@Х8Х8Л I'm pretty sure the devs played single player games like scrap mechanic and trailmakers. But they haven't played pvp games like war robots and crossout. So they don't know what theyre doing in that regard.

i use to play that game so much i was one of the better players to the normal robocraft an even then it got really toxic an bad but was cool having a spider that could go up walls or hang upside down then just dropping rockets on people it was so much fun but the grinding was a little much and as well like i said it did become toxic after a little with people having no limits an making flying gun ships but good game for what you love to make you got everything from wheels to mech legs

[@Mark_Rober]

Wait robocraft 2 is out????

[@superliogaming]

4:46 why not just place the other piston on the bottom?

because it matches with the rotation of the other one and doesnt add any power

To be honest. Dont Trust them. As Robocraft 1 Player they will just trandchase every single day. Also Play Space Engineers instead. This game extremely limited meanwhile you can create hinged Gigantic doors to anything in Space Engineers. Also Robocraft 2 isnt even fun shooter. They just try to fix their broken down reputation. Their first masterpiece robocraft 1 had 24k Players. Now Its not even 100 on their RC1. RC2 Is 2000... ONLINE ONLY REMIND YOU.

[@ericb3157]

i played the original Robocraft off and on long ago... the wings in that game are quite silly, there is NO "level off" command, you would be desperately struggling to straighten out and constantly over-correcting. only ONCE did i see another player actually using a winged bot in an actual match. he flew it WAY up in the air and used a Sniper weapon.
