Satisfactory 1.0 Tutorial: Easy Point & Shoot Smooth Railways Anywhere

i honestly wish i could find a way to describe this is that doesn't sound like clickbait, we're not even using mods Peertube video link: https://kinowolnosc.pl/w/gu1ftrtBrzySEYtbNPhxuU Lemmy discussion thread for this video (it's better than reddit and yt comments I swear): https://photon.slrpnk.net/post/slrpnk.net/15921637 Approximate a circle with cubic Bézier curves: https://spencermortensen.com/articles/bezier-circle/ @seththepotate's video on a beam-based hypertube railcannon: https://youtu.be/iTAwpAM3YMk I learned how to use bezier curves from You Suck At Photoshop: https://youtu.be/YNfBF2xvhaE That's also where I learned to call people babies as a joke in a tutorial, but I've discovered that's not my style.

Also I know I misspoke when I called them "fourth order bezier curves", but technically it could be right for all we know. Any bezier spline can be perfectly replicated by a higher order spline. I mean I know that's not what the game is using but we can't actually prove it.
