Runes Tutorial - Forts portal shenanigan

Today I felt like explaining how "runes" work, and demonstrate how much better they are to your usual concentratinator. The original design was by @_tom_soer_.
This tutorial should help you understand how they work, but most importantly how it's built, so you too can add some chaos to your multiplayer matches.
Since all designs shown are snapped to grid, they can be built virtually anywhere, with minimal effort.
If this receives enough traction I might try to go more in depth on the explanation of how portal rotations work, maybe some people would like to make their own contraptions.

I’m gonna need to copy this

[@ChrispyNut]

I do not foresee a multitude of people destroying themselves due to trying to construct these during the rare matches where it's viable, because they do it so rarely, they make a booboo.

[@42scientist]

It's very easy to just slap a small rune in any fort, and if you set it up wrong you are usually stopped by the auto detection of the laser hitting your own stuff. But yes, I'm sure people will mess it up anyway

I’m just kinda surprised and happy this showed up in my feed

You have activated my trap card! Energy shield, go!

[@wolf2403]

Wow... That looks super easy. I wonder how many times I'd mess up. Also hi 42, I don't know if I've talked to you here. Probably only on discord. But now I don't have that account.

Combine with Parris cope system so ita harder to cannon countersnipe the portal

[@42scientist]

What's that, first time I heard of it

[@Gekko-cs2ti]

@@42scientist it's when you use 2 energy shields to reflect laser , your exit portal can be nicely deep in you base

[@42scientist]

Oh surely you mean "periscope". Yeah that's a possibility

[@Will_jetz]

Shame that you didnt show 12 lasers shooting at The same time into The other base

[@42scientist]

It would have required more setup on the lasers side, but with this you can do 24, or even 32 with shockenaugh

​@@42scientist how to build 4 lasers in a single group, it feels impossible to fit 4 into a 3-long portal

[@42scientist]

It's pretty hard, you only have a very slim angle to do that, you have to measure the height of each box very specifically

[@CraftingCat_IX]

That’s a lot of energy consumption for not having to aim (Impressive though)

[@techwizsmith7963]

Even better, you can completely move the output point to wherever the hell you want it, very quickly

[@FancyHalcyon]

I wonder if it can be optimized further...

[@42scientist]

Probably... we can never be sure with portal tech
