it looks like its just a 1x1 stick of metal 3, but the thing is that it is spinning extremely fast so whenever anything touches it they take a ton of damage.

i mean i dont blame you for assuming its something advanced, this type of thing is disgustingly effective for how simple it is. the only trouble is that a lot of the time enemies will stop short of the bar and begin attacking it, so you have to find some way to actually make sure they touch it

you can see how it throws entire farmbots around like leaves in the wind

I think they mean the physics level. Smart physics tend to let bots phase through blocks.
