[2019] Eco 9.0 Preview Series: Ashlar Stone Buildings!

Transcript (by Youtube)

0s	hey everyone I hope you can hear me just
3s	fine today we're gonna be streaming eco
7s	19.0 I'm gonna show you I'm gonna show
10s	you guys some new ash flower stone
12s	buildings yeah this is my first time
15s	ever streaming anything on my own so I'm
18s	gonna try and keep an eye on chat and
20s	just let me know if there's anything
21s	wrong with the audio or anything like
23s	that and that'd be much appreciated but
25s	yeah I'm Keegan I'm a developer at
28s	Strange Loop Games working on eco and
31s	yeah often times my specialty is these
35s	builder blocks in the game and 9.0 is an
39s	exciting patch cuz we're gonna have a
41s	lot of new stuff for building and for
43s	people who like to build like me so I
46s	was thinking with this stream I'm just
48s	gonna basically casually be building
51s	stuff with the ash Lara Stone showing
54s	you guys the new kind of shapes that you
55s	can accomplish with it and we're gonna
58s	be transforming this peaceful little
61s	mountain pond into some kind of monument
65s	or structure I have a few ideas about
68s	what I might like to build but I'm
69s	mostly just playing around as I go and
72s	I'll show you as much of the new ash
74s	Larr stuff as I can and I'll be happy to
76s	answer any of your guys's questions so
78s	feel free to hit me up with those and
84s	until oh yeah let's see I'm gonna have
89s	to minimize and switch back to chat a
90s	bit I'll have a second monitor so pardon
93s	the pauses but I will check in with chat
96s	every couple minutes so let's see so
100s	yeah I've got this nice lake you're
102s	thinking I'm gonna create a platform
103s	maybe some kind of archway even so you
106s	can so I can you know create a frame
109s	around this beautiful little waterfall
111s	we have here highlight the natural
113s	environment with my buildings in this
115s	stream I'm going to be flying around and
117s	using the dev tool we have a number of
119s	exciting updates coming to build
122s	in eco with nine out with the hammer
125s	we're gonna be adding some new modes of
127s	placing blocks that's going to be really
129s	powerful and in fact it's kind of funny
131s	I'm shooting in this stream I'm flying
134s	and using the dev tool but in some ways
136s	some of the functionality that's going
139s	to be in the real tools and I know will
141s	actually be kind of not more powerful in
144s	terms of where you're positioned from
146s	when you're placing blocks but in terms
148s	of the actual block placing they'll
150s	actually be kind of more powerful than
151s	the dev tool because you'll be able to
152s	create lines of blocks and things like
155s	that so that'll be really exciting to
157s	give players that amount of power and
160s	see what people are able to to build
163s	with that kind of stuff so let's go yeah
169s	so if you didn't see the previous stream
171s	this is the new form selection it's
174s	actually going to be different in nine
175s	oh we're working on a brand new
176s	interface for it this is just an in
179s	development thing that allowed us to
180s	just get them all in there to test but
184s	as you can see there are a lot more
185s	forms for this new set and basically as
188s	we go the the higher tier sets the goal
192s	will be to have as many options as
194s	possible in the high tier sets so as
196s	you're going and extracting rock from
198s	the world and extracting resources and
201s	building up your technology you know
203s	you'll be unlocking more and more
204s	options as you go so so this is going to
208s	be one of the highest tier sets so we
210s	wanted to have a lot of options and as
212s	we go we'll still have more though
213s	beyond just what's there now so let's
216s	see start with a platform coming out
221s	across the lake here
226s	so right now I'm using ash law or
230s	granite stone so basically in the real
234s	game you'd be harvesting granite and
236s	then you'd be taking it to a masonry
238s	table and you could create this ash lar
240s	granite stone and you can see also here
244s	we have some outcrops of basalt and so
248s	this is a different stone or a different
250s	rock type rather in the game that you
252s	can also harvest and turn into a its own
256s	variety of a flower stone so we'll we'll
258s	definitely use some of that as well in
260s	this building I I like the idea of
263s	keeping the materials local to the
267s	environment from which they came that's
268s	kind of a nice trend in architecture
271s	that lets you reference the landscape
273s	something came from
284s	this is just gonna get a platform for
287s	everything get into the waterfall I
299s	think we're gonna want to keep that arch
303s	actually not blocking the view of the
307s	waterfall hitting the hitting the lake
310s	there I'll try and line that up so in
322s	the background here you can see some of
324s	the the taiga and the tundra there with
328s	a lot of the nice willow here on the
332s	ground and fire weed and the lupine this
336s	is a biome that was a lot of fun for me
338s	to work on assembling plants for just
341s	because in my life I've got to spend a
345s	lot of time and subalpine in ecosystems
348s	up at Mount Rainier National Park so I
351s	got to use a lot of the kind of fun on
356s	and foliage that I see up there when I
359s	was working on the species list for
361s	those biomes see here this is clearly
367s	not matching up at all with the other
369s	one that I made but I'm gonna just go
372s	ahead and
375s	do I want this to be going into the
378s	ground a bit so I think I'll actually
381s	make this one larger so we can have a
385s	more substantial kind of parse way
387s	building there's a structure in Venice
395s	with the rialto bridge maybe we'll end
397s	up doing something like that to kind of
399s	stair-step the bridge that goes across
401s	the body of water in a chit chat real
405s	quick
406s	oh and star star for you fire asks are
415s	you only answering questions regarding
416s	Ash large stone no you can feel free to
418s	ask me anything you want I mean I might
420s	not answer it but feel free to ask about
423s	any questions you have about Maya now or
425s	geek oh you know I may or may not be
427s	able to answer them but I'll definitely
429s	do my best
431s	and let's see we've got one from
435s	Minecraft Yeol for the 900 are there
438s	more colours mortared stone oh yes so
441s	mortared stone is the earlier set and
446s	ashlar stone is the more advanced stone
450s	set and like I was saying earlier we
452s	want to expand your options as you're
454s	going up into your level so there's
457s	gonna be less options for mortared stone
459s	in warfare hash lar stone however I do
461s	think that we will end up adding some of
465s	the other rock types to mortars stone as
469s	well I think the thing is is we want to
471s	err on the side of expanding outwards as
474s	you increase in technology but I think
478s	that also doesn't necessarily mean we
481s	won't go back in and fill in those
483s	earlier tiers as well once we sort of
486s	have the time it's it's kind of a matter
488s	of priority with what we want to get
490s	done first and I just want to be sure
493s	that you're not losing options as you
495s	increase in technology is my is my
497s	priority with that stuff so so we're
500s	gonna start with as many options as
502s	possible with Ashley
503s	but absolutely I think I probably will
505s	add some of the other stone types to
507s	mortared as well it might not be in nine
509s	out but it'll definitely be on the
512s	docket for a some point and a similar
515s	thing to that will be the the new wood
517s	building blocks and I know because it
522s	would be a lot to have like nine or ten
525s	different options for all the different
527s	tiers of wood for all the different
529s	kinds of wood and also for the broad
531s	wood categories which are softwood and
533s	hardwood so we're gonna start with you
537s	know it makes sense that like in the
540s	early game you're kind of taking in a
542s	bunch of trees and you're kind of just
543s	like you know queuing them you're
546s	processing them and kind of a rough way
548s	and you just get sort of like the
550s	generic types and as you get better at
552s	carpentry and stuff like that you do
554s	better at doing justice to the to the
558s	materials you're taking from the
559s	ecosystem and you're able to build more
561s	celebratory unique buildings that
563s	reflect those different wood types and
566s	rock types and other kinds of resources
568s	like that so yeah that's a long way of
574s	saying that there will eventually be a
577s	few more mortared stone types but it
580s	might
580s	and I know let's see but I'll definitely
582s	show you more of the Ashe large stone
585s	varieties in this little demo - okay
588s	what do I want to do here I think I
589s	wanted to do give this a little walled
593s	border to start this off on something
602s	here and definitely I'm also going to be
608s	going back to some of the early sets and
610s	making sure that each set has versions
613s	of walls and roofs that are taking up
616s	the full block as well as the skinnier
619s	style walls that you see in the previous
621s	sets like mortared stone in the previous
624s	lumbar I'm gonna try and make sure all
626s	the building steps have options for for
628s	both the skinny and the full block walls
630s	including adding one to Ashe large stone
633s	here which isn't in this bill but it
635s	should be at 9 now let's see I'm just
638s	gonna go ahead and start putting a cap
642s	on this level things
648s	this will probably be changed as we go
651s	but I just want to get something started
653s	here so let's try and make an
660s	interesting like arched bridge shape
663s	next so now we can get into the morally
673s	interesting stuff that you can start
674s	doing with this set that was really not
677s	there before we're going to start making
689s	this arch upwards
710s	so this slope kind of gives you the
713s	option to make a skinny roof that you
716s	can see from below or you can just
718s	basically add another block on top to
720s	make it into a sort of folia
722s	more thick sloping sloping surface and I
730s	do also intend to add this kind of these
736s	blocks to the previous sets as well at
738s	some point again it might not be in 904
741s	that but it will happen at some point we
743s	want to make it consistent so that you
745s	can once you get used to building a roof
747s	with the earlier says it doesn't
749s	suddenly change to a new style with the
751s	updated sets from there so that'll
754s	happen at some point as well - and I
757s	think what I'm looking for is this slope
759s	flat block I want to make this be like a
765s	stair stepped thing I don't know if
769s	we're gonna succeed in that in not
771s	blocking the view of the the waterfall
775s	here with this current plan maybe maybe
781s	we'll just be okay with that and
784s	for the sake of time of course I would
786s	not be okay with that if this was my own
788s	server I would destroy this and start
790s	completely from scratch but you know we
792s	probably don't have time to do that a
793s	ton of times on this stream so we'll
796s	keep going for now and we'll we'll go in
797s	a different direction
798s	and I was originally thinking let's see
801s	here do I look at chat again one second
817s	three on this side yeah three see now is
828s	now this is where the planning really
830s	comes into question because is this
832s	gonna meet well I guess if it's an even
835s	number we can just build differently
836s	than if it's an odd number
852s	all right so now I've got a meeting
855s	little little thing here I can work with
857s	this so this all right let's and so you
861s	know this is an example of having a lot
865s	of ways to use these blocks and it's
867s	kind of impossible to predict them all I
869s	don't really know what it's gonna look
870s	like when I try and do a stair-stepped
872s	version of this edge here but we'll find
876s	out we're in this together so as you can
881s	see one thing that's happening is the
883s	slopes will automatically fill in when
886s	they've when they're touching something
887s	above them that will kind of let you you
892s	know merge those slopes with buildings
894s	more easily
898s	might not be the exact effect you want
900s	always though and I'm always going to be
903s	trying to unlock more specific
906s	customizability
907s	as we go but I think this will work for
911s	us for now
914s	and I've got this kind of stair-stepped
919s	bridge here it's not so bad all right
924s	I'm gonna check out chat real quick have
927s	a sip of coffee helicopters now people
934s	are asking about helicopters helicopters
936s	would be awesome I'm I think they would
939s	work really well in the voxel world of
941s	eco but again that's something we don't
943s	have on the immediate docket at all and
945s	I won't make any promises regarding
947s	helicopters but yes I agree that it
950s	would be a really fun vehicle to have an
951s	eco mmm
955s	shuttles to get to another planet once
957s	we destroyed this one with pollution
958s	yeah we might be thinking about
960s	something like that but again hopefully
964s	you don't destroy it with pollution
965s	hopefully you can find a way to avoid
967s	that and I think that's the main idea
969s	with eco for now we don't want to just
971s	let you you know flee all of your
974s	consequences we want you want you to
976s	live with them will you'll be able to
979s	make sharp corners see sharp corners I
987s	think I'm not okay so sharp corners
990s	maybe you mean vertically like like in
993s	the same way that this is a slope that's
996s	sharp vertically you maybe are talking
998s	about horizontally on the ground
1001s	I can't believe gesture really well but
1002s	like if you rotated this 90 degrees
1004s	basically if that's what you mean I
1007s	would like to add those as well at some
1009s	point for sure that would kind of fully
1011s	unlock being able to do this stuff on
1014s	the ground and make interesting you know
1016s	diagonal walls and stuff like that so
1019s	that's definitely a good idea that I'll
1022s	be thinking about
1024s	I accomplished as I go do
1033s	fun here with some speaking of sharp
1037s	yeah Western speaking of sharp corners
1038s	like you know you can definitely this is
1040s	definitely a pretty sharp corner you can
1042s	accomplish right now vertically but yeah
1045s	horizontally - it would be nice let's
1051s	see here want to go from here oh yeah
1055s	maybe we'll say wow I don't know if I'm
1059s	gonna keep these but
1067s	so this is a fun kind of a piece that
1071s	I've added that's basically a way a kind
1074s	of decorative brace that you can use in
1077s	places where you might not want to use
1079s	the slope and know like I've found the
1081s	problem but I need to fix in the
1082s	builders so this has been useful for me
1085s	as well already so yeah this is this is
1099s	the blocks extending into each other
1101s	where they shouldn't see this one these
1103s	blocks automatically removed they're at
1105s	their top piece because they detected
1107s	that this was above it but I didn't
1109s	anticipate that because this was
1110s	extending out further into this space it
1113s	would it would also potentially
1115s	intersect with the nearby block so this
1117s	is a lot of the kind of problems that
1118s	I'm fixing as I go but with the way that
1122s	we're doing these new blocks allowing
1123s	you to rotate them all individually it
1128s	should be actually quite doable to fix
1130s	most of those problems so this is so you
1135s	can see how that removed that piece that
1137s	was extending out into its neighbor
1139s	block once it was filled up with
1141s	something okay this is actually getting
1145s	interesting I think I like where I'm
1148s	going with this
1151s	we can maybe aim to do is actually have
1156s	this become a larger pillar do just be
1169s	more like a decorative border I can
1177s	actually kind of inset these the blocks
1180s	hopefully
1188s	since we made it too thick I'll still
1190s	should still have that yeah should still
1192s	have that nice bottom I thought we can
1194s	put some stairs in there I mean
1197s	technically as a player you can walk up
1199s	these 45-degree slopes but it's you know
1202s	you don't want to be you don't want to
1203s	slide and fall when you're going down
1205s	this bridge and in the rain or whatever
1207s	so having some stairs I think is a
1210s	better idea
1211s	all right okay let's see well I be able
1223s	start strafe or fire asks will I be able
1226s	to hold right click while planting
1227s	hundreds of seeds that's definitely
1230s	something we can look into as an issue
1231s	I'll see if that's been forwarded to the
1234s	team it's probably known about let's see
1244s	[Music]
1261s	devyn different bracket says that's a
1263s	pretty steep slope in the bridge and I
1265s	agree the we do actually have another
1266s	option for that then I can show you as
1269s	we go let's see do ya dumb done - the
1278s	shy asks will there be easier ways to
1279s	build such as placing blocks in a row
1281s	like with the crane so yes we are going
1284s	to be adding that kind of functionality
1286s	to the advanced hammers that you'll
1288s	unlock as you go which I mentioned
1290s	earlier in this dream and I'm really
1292s	excited to to see how that plays and and
1296s	see what people do with it because it
1298s	will be really powerful for building
1307s	yeah yeah this this bridge is a walking
1313s	bridge this is not a this is not a
1314s	bridge for for vehicles combat disk asks
1319s	can you build upside down ramps now as
1321s	well so we don't have so right now the
1325s	buy ramps you probably mean the one for
1328s	slope pieces and those don't have upside
1332s	down versions yet maybe we'll add those
1334s	again there's just like kind of an
1336s	infinite amount of things that you could
1337s	you can add variations of I think we're
1340s	gonna be playing it as we go seeing if
1343s	there are any bad impacts of adding tons
1346s	and tons of blocks to the world I don't
1348s	think there will be so you know the the
1351s	future is looking good as far as being
1353s	able to just keep keep on adding all
1355s	sorts of options like that so yeah
1359s	that'll be pretty good yeah speaking of
1365s	okay we need to make this bridge look
1368s	better I think we can do this I'm
1372s	thinking of kind of making it like a
1373s	covered thing I do still want to do a
1375s	big arch though that's not just
1377s	45-degree slopes so in order to
1380s	accomplish that I think we need some big
1383s	pillars I'm going to go out from this
1385s	side here
1390s	so we're gonna make a real larger
1393s	archway we've got probably do and so now
1414s	we're gonna get some columns I think
1416s	what we're gonna do is I'm gonna put
1421s	okay yeah this should work I think I'm
1424s	gonna do some real big columns here
1432s	let's get that up to the level of the
1434s	other airline
1449s	let's go up one more level before we
1452s	start curving it in
1466s	yeah actually this should work
1475s	so we'll need to change these out to the
1477s	slope flat bitches let's have it oh yeah
1485s	just to be thicker of course what am I
1488s	thinking
1525s	hi yes so we've got questions about when
1528s	will nine o come out I don't know the
1531s	exact date yet I can't give you an exact
1532s	date but we are definitely working on
1534s	getting it out you know as soon as we
1536s	can
1536s	we've you know we already sort of cut
1540s	off the stuff we're working on for it
1543s	and our you know what we want to make
1545s	sure that it's a stable release so we'll
1547s	go to that when we can and we'll let you
1550s	know who our when we know for sure let's
1556s	try and go yeah okay it's this
1560s	interesting thing to experiment with
1566s	if we had to do this go over first yeah
1574s	don't do that go up again okay that's
1590s	maybe not the right time to do this you
1599s	know see I'm already seeing ideas for
1602s	ways I can improve this as I as I work
1604s	on it here
1610s	okey-dokey
1621s	now we can go up again
1628s	it's a kind of thing that you can
1630s	improve as you go
1639s	it's kind of easier to to fix little
1644s	things that are weird about it once
1645s	you've you've okay yeah this is good
1651s	once you've put something down to start
1655s	that these you can you can fix the the
1658s	weirdness is with the borders inside
1662s	there by choosing the like the cube form
1665s	doesn't have anything it will just fill
1667s	in and the stuff that's around it
1682s	I would like to be able to have the top
1688s	filled in okay I think I know what we're
1692s	doing here
1698s	all right
1702s	so this is almost at the middle now I
1707s	just have to thank for that
1712s	yeah the sake of time keep keep truckin
1723s	see the thing that I'm sure you hear
1727s	from all the streamers you've ever
1728s	watched but it's remarkably hard to talk
1731s	and play at the same time yeah dr. Jones
1739s	brings up a serious concern about you
1742s	know devastating effects on the
1744s	environment and how tailings don't seem
1746s	to really do as much as you might hope
1748s	that they would do in terms of actually
1750s	causing a significant impact and that's
1752s	something that I take really seriously
1753s	and also and concerned about so yeah
1757s	we're I think we are a long ways off
1760s	from being able to say okay we're done
1762s	with the balance and and all the stuff
1764s	is working as intended we have a lot of
1766s	work to do with with that those kinds of
1769s	effects with nine oh we're setting up a
1772s	lot of foundational stuff that's gonna
1774s	help us improve those aspects of the
1777s	game like with tailings in particular
1779s	we're adding a lot of mineral processing
1782s	things that are gonna allow us to make
1785s	the the waste products more realistic
1788s	and relevant as you go with tailings
1792s	there's going to be wet tailings and dry
1793s	tailings you're gonna have more choices
1796s	about which you're creating and once we
1799s	kind of have the foundations of like he
1801s	was all the things that you're making
1802s	here's here's all the products and the
1805s	waste products it'll be much easier for
1807s	us to go in and say okay this one needs
1809s	to be more impactful these ones can be
1812s	less impactful we need to you know
1815s	improve the way that you manage the
1816s	different types so that you have clear
1819s	strategies that you can employ to avoid
1821s	the most devastating things from the
1824s	most dangerous waste products but also
1827s	have things that you can do to minimize
1828s	impact from other things like regular
1832s	garbage as opposed to mining tailings
1834s	which are you know probably more
1835s	polluting than regular garbage but
1838s	garbage still should be bad to just dump
1841s	in the oceans and the rivers so as we
1843s	increase the variety of waste products
1846s	and things like that which really are at
1849s	a sort of minimal level right now
1850s	Iko it's going to be much easier to
1852s	balance them and to into really amp up
1856s	the impact of different you know
1858s	different different ones of them so yeah
1862s	the German guy I went to three four hour
1864s	asks will the update be available in
1866s	summer or later Ike well I can't give
1869s	you a date I can say that it will be you
1873s	know not not too much later than that
1875s	for sure
1876s	it's not yeah it's we I guess I
1879s	shouldn't say anything particular but
1881s	yeah we're we're aiming for around then
1882s	let's see I definitely want to
1894s	acknowledge that way okay this is kind
1901s	of a interesting challenge here okay
1910s	we can start going up over here so that
1914s	goes up just one thick thing and starts
1958s	maybe I should have worked on something
1960s	that requires a bit less mental
1962s	gymnastics for streaming but I'm gonna
1964s	finish this arch let's see here
1984s	we may not be perfect but we'll see but
1990s	you can always go back and make it
1992s	perfect okay all right
1997s	don't think that's an arch and we can
2002s	actually use the pointy bits as an
2006s	advantage and we're not done yet there's
2009s	a lot of things we can do to make this a
2010s	lot prettier so one thing we can do just
2015s	give it some some actual columns perhaps
2019s	side let's see here how do we want to do
2023s	this I was thinking it would be columns
2026s	that border to each edge like this
2036s	we can also prove that interior deaf
2055s	kids better get some calls on this side
2071s	and we'll see if we can sneak them in
2074s	here
2074s	oh yeah that's kind of its kind of
2076s	awkward let's see here what I was
2081s	thinking actually just might do
2085s	something like this as well yeah
2101s	this little structure is already a bit
2102s	Baroque so we might as well go for it
2122s	thinking I do one more kind of flying
2126s	but your style slope coming off of here
2130s	because who doesn't love a good flying
2132s	buttress process
2166s	I'll just do it like that of course it's
2170s	kind of it's got to be supportive right
2172s	so all right maybe we won't work on
2176s	making it super structurally sound in
2178s	this stream but again something that I
2183s	would definitely not let go undone or at
2185s	a real structure and now we're creating
2187s	just give it the illusion of structural
2190s	stability would it Majesty others oh
2204s	yeah I know it's making me realize that
2206s	these columns would probably be better
2208s	office as caps thicker columns
2227s	and let's see I think is there anything
2230s	else I can talk about so oh yeah all
2231s	right I should probably use a different
2233s	type of stone at some point too for this
2235s	stuff we'll try if we just did this this
2245s	could be interesting
2246s	oh I see now yeah we can get you can get
2250s	even more ambitious with this we like
2251s	okay yeah I think I know what we're
2253s	doing now see this is coming out from
2262s	below
2270s	so yeah so it's questions again
2288s	[Music]
2293s	[Music]
2296s	yes our creative mode
2298s	yeah red-bearded Joe asks is there a
2300s	creative mode for this game yeah just in
2302s	case someone wants to build too big
2304s	without the grinding like an ice castle
2305s	or something yes we definitely want to
2308s	allow people to play with the building
2310s	features in Niko in a free-form manner
2313s	as well I think that's something that
2315s	you know you can accomplish with your
2318s	own custom server I definitely agree
2321s	that we want to look into making sure we
2323s	support that way of play again you know
2326s	fleshed out features for supporting that
2329s	it's all kind of like a matter of
2330s	priority we still have a long ways to go
2332s	before you go is sort of the core
2335s	experience it's like something we're
2337s	totally good with but yes yeah that's
2341s	definitely a thing that we are very
2344s	sympathetic to and particularly me
2345s	building is probably one of my favorite
2347s	things
2348s	Iko and let's see to do yes other people
2355s	are recommending that you can play
2357s	single-player and use admin tools or you
2359s	can always you know create a server use
2361s	admin tools and then you could invite
2363s	people to join you if you and give them
2365s	admin permissions perhaps so that you
2367s	can all just go around and build like I
2369s	am right now so that's always an option
2382s	[Music]
2390s	peace yeah so Tish chamber 3 asks if I'm
2400s	showing other things on the stream today
2401s	not too much this is gonna be just a
2404s	limited little little building stream we
2407s	are definitely going to have more
2408s	streams where we show off more of what's
2410s	going to be and I know because there's
2413s	there's a lot that we're adding that
2415s	we're pretty excited about a lot of it
2417s	just isn't quite ready to show yet but
2419s	we're definitely getting close so yeah
2422s	this one's just gonna be the stone
2425s	buildings for today I might do another
2428s	one where I show people all the all the
2430s	new wood stuff because I'm really
2431s	excited about all that you know we're
2434s	making it so that each different type of
2436s	tree gives you its own type of wood and
2439s	that's gonna add you know a comparable
2442s	in fact larger amount of options than
2445s	you have with with rock since there's
2447s	more types of trees and there are types
2449s	of rock in the game right now yeah so
2453s	you'll look forward to seeing more in
2455s	the future
2457s	I probably shouldn't drag on too long
2459s	now that I think about it but yeah I
2462s	think I think we want to at least throw
2464s	in another stone type here or another
2466s	rock type see what should we do well I
2473s	was talking about the basalt earlier so
2475s	let's do that and give
2482s	okay so yeah you can see like here's
2485s	here's the basalt coming up I like the
2488s	way this basalt is coming up right here
2490s	because you know basalt often intrudes
2493s	things vertically in real life so these
2497s	these actually look like they could be
2498s	vertical intrusions that were then
2500s	eroded around and are now on this lake
2503s	edge like maybe this is a granite you
2507s	know area that was done in treated by
2510s	some some basalt I'm hopeful I'm hoping
2514s	that we can get even more cool features
2515s	like that in the future so the salt is
2524s	pretty not too far off from the granite
2532s	so it makes a nice complementary
2534s	variation here
2540s	we can do something with this do
2548s	thinking just a little tiny March to
2552s	finish off at the top there I was
2554s	thinking about making a larger one
2559s	to connect from the edges it would take
2562s	a little bit of time though let's get
2567s	this taller I can always add a secondary
2579s	arch around the main one to do see so
2589s	here's a good example of a place to use
2591s	the just a little slope block that you
2596s	have I can do this and make a sharp
2603s	sharp point meeting in the middle there
2605s	because this this is something you're
2608s	gonna run into when you're building
2608s	where it's like oh no there's no room to
2612s	make these meet because I've chosen an
2614s	odd number of blocks like so I want to
2616s	make sure that we try and have options
2618s	to support situations like that so I
2622s	made this little little pointed pointed
2625s	block here that can help you out in
2628s	situations like that yeah we can just
2630s	add it as a feature to these other other
2632s	parts perhaps
2638s	maybe did a bridge though I mean we can
2641s	like give it some more texture it's more
2646s	sculptural texture here see if that
2649s	looks all right yeah it's not too bad
2655s	plus it's good to get that basalt in the
2660s	granite this is a perfect case in point
2670s	for where the new hammer features will
2672s	be useful we're gonna have the ability
2676s	to define a lime I'll save you a lot of
2680s	time as you're building very nice yeah
2686s	that's not too bad I think you know
2691s	there's a lot of improvements you could
2693s	make to this but it's definitely a
2695s	pretty nice decorative bridge let's see
2698s	here I think if there's any other
2703s	significant things I want to show oh
2705s	yeah there's the there's the these these
2707s	slopes are pretty nice so maybe we'll do
2711s	something with this
2718s	so these
2722s	are the slopes part of the same slope as
2726s	the ramp in the game
2728s	so basically you can you can create your
2733s	own ramps really in any configuration
2735s	you want in any rotation manually which
2739s	will give you a lot more power and
2740s	ability to use them as interesting roof
2743s	pieces like like I'm starting to do here
2745s	I think it'll be really nice for the
2749s	flexibility and to be able to make low
2751s	sloped roofs and also for like if I
2754s	wanted this bridge to be drivable by a
2756s	vehicle you know but still have some
2758s	kind of an archway you could you could
2760s	use these lower slopes and that would be
2762s	a lot more friendly on on the vehicle
2765s	yep it's starting to get more and more
2770s	interesting thinking a little bit
2780s	yeah yeah so there's there's a lot you
2784s	can do with this kind of stuff I'm gonna
2786s	chat once more I ask Compact Disc 7 2 to
2796s	7 asks will there be a tier 3 or 4
2798s	equivalent of wood blocks and there
2801s	certainly will and there certainly will
2802s	be there is so yeah there's with wood
2807s	there's gonna be human sort of tier 1
2811s	there's gonna be lumber still we're also
2815s	gonna eventually add a laminated lumber
2817s	but that will be between lumber and tier
2821s	4 wood block is going to be called
2823s	composite lumber and so a composite
2825s	lumber will be in 9 hours so you'll
2826s	that'll be a you know a flexible diverse
2831s	expanded carpentry set to give carpenter
2834s	is so full you know top tier building
2838s	building material for 9o so yep oh yes
2846s	the golden dragon asks what about a thin
2848s	wall a block born or not not centered
2850s	okay so I haven't created the set that's
2854s	at the border of the voxel there will be
2857s	the centered thin walls in 904 for
2861s	various sets as well as the thick walls
2863s	that I've been using in this demo but
2868s	that's a good idea I've been thinking
2870s	about that it's again there's so many
2873s	different things you can add for
2875s	builders I'm hoping that you know at
2877s	some point in the future you know I'm
2879s	able to just spend a lot of time and and
2881s	add as much as I can think of let's see
2887s	no ending inside is asking we have some
2890s	sort of scaffolding yeah yeah
2893s	scaffolding is definitely something
2894s	we've also thought about a lot you know
2896s	we we've done part of the work for
2899s	ourselves in the future we've already
2900s	got ladders but yeah we we do want to
2903s	eventually get into scaffolding that's
2905s	much easier to construct and easy to
2909s	climb up and down and use your tools
2911s	from yeah it's it's definitely a thing
2915s	we are looking at adding to improve
2917s	building in the future let's see
2922s	Antonio Kalulu asks what about rain and
2925s	snow that's something we also are
2927s	looking at for the future it's
2930s	definitely been on our list for a long
2931s	time so yeah it's something we're hoping
2934s	to add to eco at some point for sure
2937s	yeah let's see
2949s	yeah I can't back disks asked about
2951s	rotation in multiple directions solve
2954s	the issue with duplicate blocks for
2955s	stairs and ramps and yeah it would it's
2959s	just a matter of that's a feature we
2961s	don't have implemented in the game yet
2963s	so that's maybe something we will be
2966s	able to accomplish later but for now you
2969s	know we can just add add different types
2972s	for upside-down versus not upside-down
2975s	the way it works in code is a little bit
2977s	you know it's not as easy as just being
2980s	like add vertical you know so that's
2982s	just how it goes sometimes
2983s	but absolutely you know I'm going to try
2986s	and make sure that we have flexibility
2988s	and verticality in all the different
2991s	block sets that's good options do all
2998s	right well I think this bridge is
3001s	looking pretty nice you know building is
3004s	an infinite thing there's plenty of that
3007s	I could do to make this look a lot
3008s	better I think and probably call it
3013s	pretty soon though so yeah if you have
3015s	any last questions in chat now you
3018s	should throw them in there and I'll see
3020s	if I can answer them otherwise I'll be
3024s	had now pretty soon all right
3031s	trying to get a feel for the experience
3033s	of a person walking through here just
3036s	not too bad it's pretty steep so I was
3042s	thinking earlier I wanted to make this
3043s	like a covered roof kind of bridge like
3047s	I mentioned like the Rialto in Venice or
3050s	something good you could probably do
3053s	that with like adding supports pretty
3063s	handy block that I didn't show off was
3065s	also this fence block so it's yeah let's
3074s	do that instead slopes are kind of
3078s	interesting but this is more more of a
3082s	traditional stately kind of a railing
3084s	here this set is you know inspired by
3090s	this sort of neoclassical architecture
3093s	and drawing from Greek and Roman and
3095s	stuff like that and I'm really excited
3098s	to add other you know sets in the game
3101s	that are that are inspired from places
3103s	all over the world there's so much to
3106s	draw from in architecture and carpentry
3109s	is one of those ones that I'd love to
3111s	add some stuff in the future that's sort
3113s	of more inspired by like Chinese and
3115s	Japanese architecture and things like
3117s	that so there's a lot of places that we
3120s	can go with with building and eco that I
3123s	think are are pretty exciting it was
3125s	unique but I also in addition to having
3129s	sets like this that you know have
3131s	details and forms that are inspired by
3134s	like architecture and the real world I
3136s	do also want to be sure that I'm giving
3138s	people a really nice functionality that
3143s	is not that's just like purely geometric
3145s	you know I want to
3147s	the goal with this set was to add the
3150s	sort of geometrical flexibility of just
3152s	doing slopes and there's more that we
3155s	can do in the future to to increase that
3158s	for sure so that people can sort of
3160s	build on a larger scale and create their
3163s	own you know unique shapes that aren't
3167s	relying on the decoration that I can add
3170s	to a set like this unlike these on these
3173s	cornices for example so yep there's a
3177s	lot of stuff to come and it'll be
3180s	exciting to get there to see what we can
3183s	do I think I'm going to call that for
3185s	the stream after I check questions one
3187s	more time so these stat 95 asks are
3192s	boats in other forms of transportation
3193s	still in the works absolutely yeah we're
3195s	absolutely you know still committed to
3198s	getting boats in there at some point
3200s	we're you know yeah we're excited to get
3203s	that in there because I know the water
3205s	transportation will be a lot handier
3208s	than trying to build a massive bridge or
3210s	something
3210s	so absolutely yeah let's see
3222s	natureís is asking about the walls not
3228s	attaching to the stairs let's see I'm
3232s	not quite sure I understand your
3233s	question fully not the wood version
3236s	though don't attach with the stairs
3241s	there are multiple new ways to do stairs
3245s	in with the ash lar stone that I'm
3248s	looking at so I'm looking at improving
3249s	all that stuff with stairs with stairs
3252s	I'm also looking to add for each set a
3256s	kind of floating stair variety like like
3260s	the framed glass has for now I have
3263s	actually added this under stairs form
3265s	that allows you to do upside down stairs
3267s	as again this is kind of an example of
3271s	that sculptural or that geometrical
3273s	freedom I wanted to add with this to
3276s	really let you just build your own
3277s	shapes as you go but I was gonna say
3282s	you've with the stairs that that have
3289s	the solid bottom like this now that you
3291s	have slopes you can do some more
3293s	interesting stuff this is also part of
3295s	why I added this this brace form because
3299s	I thought the brace would be a really
3300s	nice way to like get get under and
3305s	surfaces underneath the stairs looking
3307s	more interesting but absolutely I also
3310s	added like the thing that I want to add
3312s	for stairs for all the sets is to have
3315s	versions that don't go to the that don't
3318s	go to the edge of the box so like this
3320s	but that float like the frame glass
3321s	stairs so hopefully when I get all that
3325s	in
3326s	be enough different options I can show
3329s	that real quick this is a frame glasses
3338s	a set that's gonna need some updates for
3340s	sure but yeah you can see like these
3342s	stairs you know are like don't don't go
3346s	to the edge of the box alone that allows
3348s	them to just already be a slope so I'd
3350s	like to add stairs like this for most
3352s	sets as well so that'll also give you
3354s	more options for stairs yeah hmm compact
3362s	disc ads are there more plans for bigger
3364s	worlds in the future yeah I so world
3370s	sizes is an option you always have on
3373s	your server configuration so you can
3374s	always increase the size of the world
3376s	you can get pretty good size worlds
3379s	right now that are that are feasible for
3382s	play I think something like you know
3386s	twelve kilometers squared or something
3388s	like that could be possible
3389s	again it depends on the server hardware
3391s	and things like that but yeah we
3393s	absolutely want to go to be scalable and
3395s	flexible I think one of the things is is
3398s	we don't want to default to giving you a
3400s	giant world because that kind of has a
3403s	significant impact on the balance of the
3405s	game but absolutely we want it to be a
3408s	an option that you have at your disposal
3410s	so yeah all right I think I'm gonna call
3413s	it for the stream there this has been
3415s	fun just showing you some kind of the
