Rust: The Hexapod - The Best Disconnectable External TC. | ±7 / ±14 Rockets!

The Hexapod is a disconnectable external TC that is compact, strong and simple. It allows you to extend your building privilege while having no exposed soft-sides. When needed, you can easily reduce the privilege by using instability mechanisms without having to worry about it being vulnerable to splash damage from the outside.

Special thanks to these people from the EZ Building Discord for their contributions.
@skavi, @Korrektor, and @Dirac - For discovering and perfecting the novel instability-based disconnectable concept.
Extra thanks to Dirac for helping with the two final designs in this video.

Consider checking out Dirac’s channel and his two videos on the concept.
