I could not having made this video without the help of Quasar. Most of the designs, particularly in the advanced section, came from him, as did the details on the technical side of hoiks. He is the reason this video has more depth than the wiki page on hoiks, which is severely lacking. Quasar has a written guide on google drive with some hoik explanations, which may provide more detail than what was in this video. https://drive.google.com/drive/folder...

ZeroGravitas, the person who originally discovered and coined the term "hoik," has an old video on item hoiks that I got my info on them from. You can find that here:    • Item Hoiks! - Move & Separate Drops, ...  . I am not aware of any improvements in item hoiking aside from conveyor belts allowing size 1 items to be hoiked in more than just rightward ceiling hoiks.
