| 431s | there we |
| 433s | go that should be it that should be it |
| 436s | let's do |
| 439s | that see if this is working all |
| 442s | right hello everyone and welcome to a |
| 446s | later Saturday stream following up on uh |
| 452s | the speedrun |
| 453s | here just making sure everything is |
| 456s | running everything is |
| 460s | operational think |
| 462s | so yeah uh |
| 466s | hopefully we also |
| 468s | have a little bit of |
| 473s | uh in-game audio as well um |
| 477s | just just a bit trying to tweak tweak my |
| 481s | OBS settings a little bit |
| 484s | um yeah so Saturday stream um we are |
| 488s | here checking in and uh doing a bit of |
| 491s | an update post on the speedrun server |
| 493s | that is |
| 494s | running which is referred to as white |
| 497s | Shea in the server list if you've seen |
| 499s | it and is a bit confused about what's |
| 501s | going on um it is a um of a speedrun |
| 505s | event that we do every |
| 508s | um well every so often I was going to |
| 510s | say but it's it's this is the second |
| 512s | time we're properly doing it |
| 514s | so hopefully we can keep doing it every |
| 516s | now and then um it is quite taxing as |
| 520s | well as you know with with all the hours |
| 522s | people are just pulling into it to get |
| 525s | progression crazily |
| 527s | quick um so it is |
| 530s | far far a bit in between |
| 533s | the events but |
| 536s | uh maybe we could make it to to like an |
| 539s | annual thing uh last one last run was in |
| 542s | pre1 0 so that was in 9.6 I think |
| 548s | maybe 9.5 maybe um been a while ago so |
| 551s | this is the first one that is running |
| 553s | with the 10.0 and all the enal balance |
| 556s | changes that has happened since as well |
| 558s | as the introduction of the new |
| 559s | professions and so on um but |
| 563s | yeah unfortunately we don't have a guest |
| 566s | with us tonight um we had Toby last |
| 569s | night so if you missed that stream take |
| 571s | a look at it uh we showed off some of |
| 573s | the painting stuff in in the midst of |
| 576s | the speedrun discussions |
| 580s | um cool |
| 582s | stuff purple and yellow is going to be |
| 585s | the main colors anyone visiting a world |
| 588s | of Tois |
| 589s | is just be prepared for |
| 593s | that um but yeah so back here on on the |
| 597s | speedrun so last last when we left the |
| 599s | off we had some technical issues with |
| 601s | tech Tre as well so it kind of hard to |
| 604s | show off but they burned through they |
| 607s | were they were getting cooking baking up |
| 610s | um getting some tear two |
| 615s | housing um you should invite the |
| 617s | coordinator yeah we we might be able to |
| 620s | uh to sneak in on Discord here um later |
| 623s | on |
| 626s | perhaps uh but yes they got they got a |
| 629s | whole bunch of basic stuff done they |
| 631s | moved over to mechanics mechanics was |
| 632s | going pretty pretty |
| 635s | quickly on board from there they um got |
| 639s | oil drilling unlocked now finally and |
| 641s | looking into electronics and the |
| 644s | advanced series professions they still |
| 646s | haven't started industry |
| 649s | yet um but we'll take a look a bit on |
| 653s | their General resource stock piles the |
| 655s | quantity of players involved and uh |
| 659s | we did run into some technical issues as |
| 662s | well with um the pumps not really |
| 665s | playing |
| 667s | nicely and not entirely |
| 670s | sure what was causing it but we |
| 674s | are getting through it |
| 677s | somehow |
| 679s | um got a bunch of data to analyze after |
| 683s | this um event as well with u a lot of |
| 687s | profiler data as well for performance |
| 689s | check UPS |
| 691s | so even though it might just be a fun |
| 694s | event for a lot of people we are getting |
| 697s | some pretty pretty big valuable data out |
| 699s | of it as well to just further improve |
| 705s | systematically um so the rainforce that |
| 707s | we had |
| 710s | is almost completely devastated at least |
| 713s | the large portion of it we got a little |
| 715s | bit of a Tre Island here but it |
| 718s | is talked to Ed a bit earlier um today |
| 722s | and uh they are running into issues |
| 724s | where it's just starting to get way too |
| 726s | long about Transportation run from the |
| 729s | trees delivered back |
| 732s | to um the processing plant |
| 738s | forth um so there's some logistical |
| 740s | issues that this scale of tree cutting |
| 746s | has that |
| 748s | said uh um they do have quite a lot |
| 753s | of logs and |
| 757s | um related things on uh on store I am |
| 762s | surprised to see a what a lumber |
| 770s | house it's ambitious I I I was not |
| 773s | expecting them to be spending |
| 776s | uh uh flax processing on housing |
| 781s | so that's an interesting |
| 790s | One n up there with train they're doing |
| 793s | some general housing |
| 797s | decoration getting those points up uh |
| 800s | made it for the XP um yeah I mean I i' |
| 803s | presume that |
| 805s | but um |
| 811s | I kind of assumed that |
| 814s | um with kind of the world limitations |
| 817s | and you're not going to have time to |
| 818s | grow stuff |
| 819s | that all the all the lumber was kind of |
| 823s | earmarked or whatever progression |
| 824s | research |
| 826s | papers um and so on while churning out |
| 830s | uh bricks would be far |
| 832s | more easier to do within the time |
| 836s | constraints so that's an interesting |
| 838s | site |
| 843s | uh but yes we have a lumber house as |
| 846s | well as a brick house over |
| 853s | there uh Williams mentioned Lumber was |
| 855s | faster to make than bricks the are |
| 857s | getting eaten up by other CS yeah |
| 861s | I generally speaking it it's a bit |
| 864s | quirky |
| 868s | but seeming the flax isn't a limitation |
| 871s | for |
| 872s | you I'm |
| 874s | sorry um been |
| 879s | been got way L way late last night and |
| 882s | just not enough sleep so I'm I'm feel |
| 885s | I'm I'm feeling the |
| 888s | U the energy burnout |
| 891s | here |
| 893s | uh the Water Wheels outside to carry |
| 896s | mechanical Power um I would I would |
| 898s | presume so |
| 901s | it was probably easier to just make |
| 903s | everything out of wood at this |
| 912s | point um rather than than fiddling |
| 915s | around with like Mills and so |
| 928s | on so that is the lumber encampment and |
| 931s | I guess there |
| 933s | is is there bricks coming out of this as |
| 936s | well like any mixture materials |
| 944s | maybe so we can we can spy a little bit |
| 946s | if we go in |
| 948s | here and if the crafting tables actually |
| 951s | want to |
| 953s | populate don't want to |
| 956s | populate also I think the cat cat can |
| 959s | heal me talking and it's like oh there's |
| 961s | a stream going |
| 963s | on I want to |
| 968s | participate why why |
| 973s | yeah that's spinning around um take a |
| 976s | look out in |
| 981s | the This research |
| 983s | center and here we can have a look and |
| 985s | see how much they're hollowing out |
| 987s | underground as well to keep churning in |
| 990s | oh we got we got a bit of a a reinforced |
| 993s | concrete spatial thing going |
| 1000s | on so this fantastic |
| 1006s | construction |
| 1009s | is it's a magical piece of art |
| 1023s | um it's not entirely going to be able to |
| 1026s | be done this way in the future just it's |
| 1029s | a bit of a heads up um Toby's working |
| 1032s | on something specific to kind of to um |
| 1037s | as the goal is to enable that you have |
| 1040s | to have doorways like doors kind of |
| 1046s | thing um so that will be a default |
| 1048s | setting |
| 1052s | um once the stuff he's working on gets |
| 1057s | done |
| 1058s | which will reveal |
| 1061s | sometime later it'll probably not be |
| 1063s | 10.3 but |
| 1065s | it's there is some stuff going |
| 1069s | on not too |
| 1071s | bad about two large Lumber stock Pils |
| 1074s | down here that's drained out |
| 1088s | so this I'm presuming is that that whole |
| 1090s | pit here especially since it's on the |
| 1092s | shoreline I'm presuming that it is |
| 1094s | mainly to |
| 1096s | acquire um easily accessed and closed |
| 1100s | Limestone for steel |
| 1104s | production and turning it into Quick |
| 1107s | climb |
| 1109s | and we're also seeing some some pretty |
| 1112s | neatly stacked barrels coming into shape |
| 1114s | there as |
| 1115s | well speaking of barrels how is the oil |
| 1118s | map looking we want to take a look a |
| 1121s | little bit on world |
| 1136s | layers yes I guess we are looking at |
| 1142s | the general area here that |
| 1144s | is kind of the highest |
| 1148s | oil in the nearby |
| 1161s | region see some cool little Stone |
| 1164s | deliveries coming in |
| 1190s | we're just going to we're just going to |
| 1193s | track it to uh to its destination |
| 1200s | as we can see they're they're they're |
| 1201s | making pretty good use of U Maritime |
| 1204s | shipment as |
| 1208s | well Huckleberry extract being a |
| 1210s | surprising shortcoming in advanced |
| 1212s | upgrade |
| 1214s | chain I can imagine so especially if you |
| 1217s | need a whole bunch of advanced upgrades |
| 1219s | very quickly |
| 1234s | there is |
| 1236s | uh there's some interesting |
| 1239s | uh supply chain breakages potential when |
| 1243s | uh when you don't have the capacity to |
| 1245s | let the server just kind of populate on |
| 1248s | its |
| 1254s | own can hear that huffing around |
| 1264s | so this is the |
| 1268s | export which makes me oh yeah so this is |
| 1272s | let's get rid of the oil |
| 1275s | field so I'm guessing there is a |
| 1279s | copper the band |
| 1284s | here yeah so we |
| 1286s | got we follow this in the m |
| 1297s | I'm presuming we've got an extraction |
| 1300s | going on here to |
| 1302s | uh get some copper |
| 1306s | down it's |
| 1308s | going we're looking for copper |
| 1316s | gold not where I would |
| 1319s | expect people to |
| 1322s | uh to really grind for it initially |
| 1328s | but guessing they have an |
| 1332s | idea that whole pit is going |
| 1335s | to takes a bit of material |
| 1338s | and getting some extra Stone while |
| 1340s | grinding this |
| 1346s | out let's go into the blackness |
| 1361s | here suffering away at the deepest |
| 1364s | deepest darkest corners of the world |
| 1379s | it's one |
| 1383s | way one way chain down the |
| 1387s | mountain then we |
| 1390s | have the the rocky guys and then we have |
| 1392s | the mechanical |
| 1395s | stuff mechanical stuff is is progressing |
| 1398s | quite |
| 1403s | nicely speed up our little flight back |
| 1406s | here |
| 1411s | was a little bit too fast speaking of |
| 1414s | let's let's take |
| 1418s | a do we have any any general we're |
| 1422s | looking back on the whole world later |
| 1424s | things let's have a look at see if the |
| 1437s | um oh oh there's there is still some |
| 1440s | agab left in the world we got that |
| 1442s | secondary |
| 1447s | desert plenty of beans |
| 1451s | left although plenty might be a little |
| 1455s | bit what |
| 1467s | exaggeration some Trace of beets |
| 1471s | around and we got C in the forest see |
| 1474s | how that is C is looking all |
| 1480s | right we got |
| 1482s | mushroom got a whole region here and we |
| 1485s | got two pretty big splotches over |
| 1493s | here plenty of papaya but I'm guessing |
| 1496s | those are picked since they're are re |
| 1498s | rep pickable |
| 1504s | thing |
| 1509s | pumpkins rice is not going to be too |
| 1511s | well off if they start salvaging |
| 1516s | [Music] |
| 1518s | that not a whole lot of |
| 1524s | sunflower and we got tarot tarot there's |
| 1526s | plenty of tarots |
| 1530s | plenty of Terror roots and the whole G |
| 1532s | grassland is basically One Big Tomato |
| 1539s | field there is still quite quite a bit |
| 1541s | of food supply left in the world that |
| 1543s | they can |
| 1554s | Harvest Mischief cats rumaging |
| 1559s | uh oh yeah that is that is true |
| 1565s | Pondo it is uh it is uh Star Wars day |
| 1580s | today always a fun fun day of the year |
| 1588s | see here let's pop back |
| 1591s | up do we have do we have there we |
| 1596s | go let's keep heading up there go back |
| 1599s | to the industry go back to the place |
| 1602s | where all the people |
| 1605s | are chasing down that meor to destroy |
| 1610s | it two days 9 minutes which means we |
| 1615s | are we are coming up on uh |
| 1621s | just under 24 hours now |
| 1626s | um so we have we've had a total downtime |
| 1629s | of 30 |
| 1632s | minutes my math isn't completely |
| 1641s | incorrect we get some huffing puffing |
| 1643s | going on here in the back with some |
| 1645s | exhausts is that the cement kills going |
| 1647s | off here yeah |
| 1664s | rotating little |
| 1667s | Machinery but yeah so the the desert |
| 1669s | seems almost void of stuff but there are |
| 1673s | there are a few cactuses Left Alive |
| 1689s | here we have |
| 1691s | some cooking Machinery going on here as |
| 1693s | you can see it's quite industrialized in |
| 1696s | uh the quantity of stoves and bakery |
| 1707s | ovens campfires still going strong I can |
| 1710s | see some Mills rotating there as |
| 1714s | well and they took they also took the |
| 1716s | opportunity to turn it into housing as |
| 1718s | well since they're already having |
| 1720s | kitchen rooms in |
| 1725s | there see if we can see the |
| 1731s | property we grab that food Camp click on |
| 1735s | it we can see the property value on it |
| 1741s | yes we have 23 experience per day which |
| 1743s | might not sound a lot |
| 1746s | but it does help every little bit helps |
| 1750s | when |
| 1752s | um you're trying to squeeze this out |
| 1756s | so yeah pretty Airy construction you |
| 1759s | won't be working in food smell at least |
| 1761s | no no it it's definitely got proper |
| 1764s | quantity of air condition going |
| 1766s | through don't have to worry about that |
| 1769s | for |
| 1774s | sure and we have that gold ice |
| 1778s | pie there is some gold |
| 1781s | or what happens if we take a peak down |
| 1792s | here I'm presuming that we are going to |
| 1795s | find some sort of |
| 1799s | an ongoing gold mine or start of a gold |
| 1815s | mine kibi |
| 1818s | kibi k kbi k k |
| 1838s | uh uh hello petren welcome to the stream |
| 1843s | hope everything is all right this |
| 1844s | weekend um if you have suggestions or |
| 1848s | ideas just pop in over on uh the cany |
| 1852s | site and |
| 1854s | uh drop a suggestion in there you can |
| 1858s | also vot on already existing suggestions |
| 1860s | to help give better traction or |
| 1862s | visibility to certain things that you |
| 1864s | might find interesting or feel are |
| 1866s | missing |
| 1898s | uh yeah so |
| 1900s | on you know viewing viewing the enal the |
| 1905s | general progression of this |
| 1908s | um a few of the things that we look at |
| 1911s | is kind of the the full scales of |
| 1914s | on |
| 1916s | um want to kind of break it down of like |
| 1919s | how do we look at data from say a |
| 1921s | speedrun compared and translatable into |
| 1924s | an actionable regular server that people |
| 1926s | just kind of casually stroll around and |
| 1928s | and do things |
| 1930s | progressively um some of the things that |
| 1933s | we do look at is General play time per |
| 1936s | se so if we're looking |
| 1939s | at um the speedrun that tends to be |
| 1943s | super focused super optimized as much as |
| 1946s | they can within the constraints |
| 1950s | um to uh to see how much actionable time |
| 1954s | it takes to go from start to finish and |
| 1958s | then spread that out over and looking |
| 1960s | over the actual hours spent rather than |
| 1963s | just hey it took them 24 hours clearly |
| 1966s | something's wrong we need to you know |
| 1968s | increase difficulty or add more |
| 1970s | complexity or or so you know so on back |
| 1972s | and |
| 1973s | forth um but more of breaking it up to |
| 1978s | how much time is total accounted for on |
| 1982s | the entire speedrun so when you're |
| 1984s | looking at each individual player and |
| 1987s | then how much play time they have on it |
| 1990s | um which will also which you can also |
| 1993s | see as a user on your own if you're an |
| 1996s | administrator on a server you can check |
| 1998s | other people's play |
| 2000s | times um and it gives you better metrics |
| 2002s | to kind of |
| 2004s | see |
| 2006s | um how things are looking in actuality |
| 2009s | so if you have 10 people spending 10 |
| 2011s | hours each versus one person spending |
| 2014s | 100 hours or 100 people spending you |
| 2017s | know 10 |
| 2019s | hours the general progression is the |
| 2022s | same but it might be in completely |
| 2024s | different focuses or if aimed and |
| 2028s | targeted for a single purpose will have |
| 2030s | the same result but you he |
| 2038s | cat just slammed into the |
| 2046s | desk next speedrun is going to be a seed |
| 2049s | with mono monob biome Island both |
| 2051s | bananza it'd be pretty |
| 2058s | interesting um but yeah so it gives us |
| 2061s | actionable data on how much people are |
| 2065s | required to spend time to get from start |
| 2067s | to fin finish and then we can adjust |
| 2070s | levels for the base experience to |
| 2074s | fit where kind of where those breaks are |
| 2077s | happening in |
| 2080s | progression kind of |
| 2083s | gaps |
| 2085s | um and better analyze how long does it |
| 2089s | take until they transition into XYZ um |
| 2092s | which is obviously really really hard to |
| 2094s | compare on something like this because |
| 2097s | there's also extreme Focus to just one |
| 2100s | cohesive industrial complex per |
| 2104s | type um rather than a whole bunch of |
| 2106s | small houses or larger houses all over |
| 2109s | the place which with a lot a lot more |
| 2112s | furniture um infrastructure roads and |
| 2115s | and everything else that gets built that |
| 2117s | absorbs |
| 2118s | resources which then gradually |
| 2121s | expands uh the U the general economy |
| 2124s | market and productivity of those players |
| 2128s | so instead of having you know 100% of |
| 2130s | the resources Min going directly to the |
| 2133s | end game goal you might be looking at |
| 2136s | 25% 30% on an actual regular live |
| 2141s | server and the rest of them is going |
| 2143s | into utilitarian things like better |
| 2146s | tools to more people on the server or uh |
| 2150s | more Vehicles so everyone has a truck |
| 2153s | versus something like this where you |
| 2155s | might only have 10 trucks rather than |
| 2157s | 150 |
| 2160s | uh so there's a lot of nuance |
| 2163s | to just looking at the plane |
| 2166s | output let see someone is is having a |
| 2169s | blast |
| 2171s | there even cleaning up the |
| 2178s | stumps I think ER is just showing off |
| 2181s | right now just he's caring for the |
| 2183s | environment while things are being |
| 2184s | destroyed |
| 2216s | all |
| 2222s | crazy amount of industrial power going |
| 2223s | on |
| 2229s | here we have six large seven large |
| 2232s | Lumber stock Pils that eats materials |
| 2234s | and just kind of turns them |
| 2237s | around turning H turning the logs |
| 2240s | directly into Hune and |
| 2243s | turning mincing it into uh to Lumber |
| 2247s | have a look can see inside here Hall STW |
| 2251s | of carpentry |
| 2254s | tables and then a bunch of resour |
| 2256s | research tables I'm guessing for the |
| 2258s | basic basic and advanced research papers |
| 2261s | to just flood |
| 2265s | it and the same thing here for rocks and |
| 2269s | Pebbles I guess this is a re Research |
| 2273s | Center beautiful with air condition and |
| 2277s | everything |
| 2280s | we got some Laboratories here going on |
| 2282s | as |
| 2296s | well and then we have the electrical |
| 2300s | power which we are seeing |
| 2303s | some environmental influences here where |
| 2307s | they are |
| 2312s | less than uh environmental |
| 2315s | friendly got a combustion generator and |
| 2317s | the blast furnaces keep hammering away |
| 2319s | we we are starting to see some copper |
| 2321s | and gold Stacks coming |
| 2326s | in so I wonder I wonder if they'll be |
| 2330s | prepared once they reach industry to |
| 2332s | just burn through a lot of |
| 2334s | things um but I believe there's still |
| 2338s | going to |
| 2341s | need we go |
| 2345s | into |
| 2347s | industry oh look at that yeah it it has |
| 2349s | been |
| 2351s | discovered so they're just missing |
| 2353s | electronics and then they'll be able to |
| 2356s | start pushing into |
| 2359s | it uh let's go industry |
| 2375s | oh yeah so they |
| 2376s | are since it is running on the um |
| 2379s | expensive recipe |
| 2382s | lineup um it |
| 2384s | requires the the computer lab for the |
| 2387s | laser shoot it down |
| 2390s | controls um requires the profession |
| 2395s | upgrades from the later professions |
| 2397s | which means you are going to have to |
| 2399s | have a level seven Advanced masonry |
| 2401s | composits electronics |
| 2403s | Industry and that is likely to be the |
| 2406s | big pain points to get up to that level |
| 2409s | seven to be able to make that |
| 2412s | upgrade as it's a lot of materials to go |
| 2415s | through it and I'm presuming that |
| 2416s | they're P really pushing for housing |
| 2418s | value uh for those people doing those |
| 2421s | professions to quickly get as much |
| 2423s | experience as they |
| 2425s | can but uh yeah |
| 2429s | um 24 hours not a |
| 2436s | go the question is how many |
| 2440s | hours further is it going to take before |
| 2443s | they reach it is it going to |
| 2444s | be 4 hours 6 hours 12 |
| 2455s | hours and how quickly is it going to |
| 2457s | scale |
| 2460s | up and is the industrial capacity going |
| 2463s | to have |
| 2464s | enough |
| 2466s | production um be able to cater to the |
| 2469s | production |
| 2470s | volume if they do get like a skid steer |
| 2473s | excavator up to really burn through |
| 2478s | materials we got some tailoring Corners |
| 2480s | down here |
| 2489s | then we got some |
| 2498s | Sawmills work safety regulations down |
| 2501s | here |
| 2517s | we're seeing some gold concentrate |
| 2519s | coming in as well so you |
| 2521s | know they are they are progressing quite |
| 2524s | nicely um so question |
| 2526s | for anyone on the speedrun in the chat |
| 2529s | right now um how much compared |
| 2535s | to can't remember when I did the change |
| 2537s | was it 101 102 |
| 2540s | um does it feel like the metal costs and |
| 2543s | relations have changed a lot since the |
| 2546s | last |
| 2548s | speedrun |
| 2552s | um partially to the |
| 2556s | general um geology |
| 2560s | changes um but as um with the blast |
| 2565s | furnace change and the bloomeries and |
| 2567s | using basic upgrades versus Advanced |
| 2570s | upgrades |
| 2576s | um just to get kind of that initial step |
| 2593s | over but maybe we'll just we want to |
| 2596s | ransack a channel just go like |
| 2606s | whooo the Kool-Aid water is real yeah |
| 2609s | the |
| 2610s | um they they're they're starting to |
| 2612s | properly add some flavor to the water |
| 2621s | now all they need now is some |
| 2624s | uh carbon dioxide or something to just |
| 2627s | Fizz it up a bit |
| 2648s | looking forward to seeing what that |
| 2651s | industry plant is going to look like |
| 2652s | here in a while when they start really |
| 2654s | pushing out those crafting |
| 2657s | tables because I know there are a few |
| 2659s | paint pieces in there that has a little |
| 2661s | bit more crafting time than the others |
| 2664s | and that's usually a big hold up on uh |
| 2669s | on some of that |
| 2671s | production I wonder I wonder do we have |
| 2674s | where is that main iron there we go yeah |
| 2678s | it's under |
| 2679s | here shoot down the rock Planet be |
| 2682s | damned that seems to be the case so |
| 2688s | here we have a bit of an excavation |
| 2691s | going |
| 2693s | on holy moly |
| 2699s | it is really squeezing out and using |
| 2701s | everything all over the |
| 2707s | place |
| 2709s | um yeah wayin that is that is an |
| 2711s | excellent question I was I I flew over |
| 2714s | there but I couldn't see any any general |
| 2720s | copper there we have a catfish |
| 2724s | and mystery Mia |
| 2730s | chopping away at the |
| 2732s | iron and I can see we started to have a |
| 2735s | good good use of that empty space for |
| 2738s | tailing storage as while getting rid of |
| 2739s | it from the surface just to out of out |
| 2742s | of sight out of mind kind of |
| 2751s | thing but it is a pretty pretty |
| 2753s | substantial excavation here |
| 2760s | it keeps going as well a little bit at |
| 2763s | least but yeah maybe we can we can |
| 2765s | figure out where the copper is coming |
| 2767s | from that seems like a little bit of a |
| 2770s | mystery there's some targeted excavation |
| 2773s | here going |
| 2777s | on which is neat for grabbing the |
| 2781s | ore but it also makes it slightly |
| 2783s | complicated for the logistics of hauling |
| 2786s | it out |
| 2788s | but when every piece of War counts you |
| 2790s | want to get it as much as you can as |
| 2792s | quickly as you |
| 2796s | can me pull up here let's have a look |
| 2799s | and |
| 2806s | see we got some trampling over here and |
| 2809s | we also |
| 2813s | have some effects but I don't think that |
| 2817s | there's any mining going on up there |
| 2820s | maybe maybe we fly over there and have a |
| 2832s | look look at this casual Little Wolf |
| 2835s | here having no idea his entire world is |
| 2837s | collapsing around |
| 2841s | him cly is just nodding off in the |
| 2845s | desert |
| 2852s | um but yes on uh on animals we got some |
| 2855s | cool stuff being worked on um stuff is |
| 2857s | being converted to root motion and |
| 2859s | they're |
| 2859s | looking so much more smoother and so |
| 2862s | much more um realistic I guess in a |
| 2866s | sense um they look less |
| 2870s | gy um more natural movement um and a lot |
| 2874s | of a lot of that is |
| 2878s | client |
| 2879s | side um rather than having everything |
| 2883s | kind of hard checked back and forth |
| 2885s | between the server and |
| 2888s | client um and there's some weird Redwood |
| 2892s | thing going on |
| 2901s | here oddly satisfying but still very |
| 2903s | weird |
| 2910s | I guess the large redwoods are the ones |
| 2913s | that take the fall when the world |
| 2916s | collapses we have anything more |
| 2918s | excavated here no just just a |
| 2921s | little just a little |
| 2934s | pit we have some copper in the side of |
| 2936s | the mountain here |
| 2939s | and then we have Alim |
| 2941s | mandas way deep below still chopping |
| 2943s | away at that pit we saw |
| 2947s | earlier and whing this is where I'm |
| 2950s | presuming some of the copper is coming |
| 2951s | from |
| 2953s | but didn't see any any |
| 2957s | general any general veins |
| 2961s | or or overall coming through |
| 2975s | but it is quickly being |
| 2983s | excavated and not just one stockpile or |
| 2986s | three stock |
| 2992s | piles there we go |
| 2997s | oh yeah so dog down to a certain |
| 2999s | elevation and then just burrowing |
| 3001s | straight forward and look at that we |
| 3003s | have gold boys we have |
| 3005s | gold it's there it's in the |
| 3008s | roof can all go home now we're |
| 3011s | rich don't mind the |
| 3020s | asteroid and if you don't see Aussie |
| 3023s | anymore he'll uh he'll have purchased a |
| 3026s | small little |
| 3027s | bunker off the coast of the industrial |
| 3030s | sector and probably living his best |
| 3049s | life the Doom of the meor is steadily |
| 3053s | going on |
| 3065s | um |
| 3067s | I just GNA quickly disappear off camera |
| 3071s | for a second just need to refill my |
| 3074s | coffee I'll be right |
| 3086s | back |
| 3116s | e e |
| 3151s | and we have |
| 3153s | returned not just on there we |
| 3158s | go shuffling |
| 3161s | in got some more coffee so we can |
| 3164s | sustain ourselves uh let's see where |
| 3169s | going up on the on the top |
| 3171s | there |
| 3174s | think do we have |
| 3180s | yeah Pepsi three people have been on the |
| 3182s | server for at least 20 hours since the |
| 3190s | launch that |
| 3192s | uh is quite a |
| 3194s | bit I am not going to |
| 3203s | lie see where where and how and where |
| 3211s | [Music] |
| 3219s | seeing those shiny metal bars in the |
| 3223s | Moonlight all the gold in the |
| 3229s | world and as in case we are we are not |
| 3234s | murdering the cat in the background she |
| 3236s | she's just very very vocal at the |
| 3242s | moment |
| 3244s | come |
| 3251s | come nope wanted |
| 3255s | attention but but don't touch me it's in |
| 3257s | my conditions I'm just casually walking |
| 3260s | around |
| 3265s | you yeah |
| 3268s | trying to tricker but nope not having it |
| 3271s | oh |
| 3273s | well |
| 3275s | um yeah she's she's just rumaging around |
| 3278s | so they they take |
| 3280s | turns causing ruckuses they like they |
| 3286s | um ran them around like crazy just prior |
| 3289s | to the stream and uh trying to |
| 3292s | just help them dump excess energy um so |
| 3296s | they'd be fairly exhausted and be |
| 3299s | sleeping through the stream but |
| 3301s | nope hopes and |
| 3304s | dreams hopes and dreams and |
| 3308s | cats there we |
| 3310s | go have her be somewhat somewhat in with |
| 3315s | here helps her it calms her down a bit |
| 3319s | but she is also very very good at over |
| 3322s | stimulating herself |
| 3324s | into crazy agitation |
| 3328s | and they just need |
| 3330s | like they just need to sit down for a |
| 3333s | bit and calm down otherwise they'll just |
| 3337s | kind of scale it up more and more to |
| 3348s | do pushing the microphone away as |
| 3353s | well on my |
| 3356s | yes |
| 3358s | sir |
| 3363s | do you happy |
| 3367s | now |
| 3368s | uh there we go totally not being |
| 3371s | distracted at all and it definitely |
| 3374s | helps controlling the stream when you |
| 3376s | have a cat that wants |
| 3378s | attention like please please hold |
| 3382s | me not do anything |
| 3385s | else um so this is sparkk which is the |
| 3393s | female and they are looking very very |
| 3395s | very similar but |
| 3400s | uh they are |
| 3405s | uh very cuddly very cute but they're |
| 3408s | also very |
| 3414s | vocal there we go let's double trouble |
| 3417s | with cats here |
| 3429s | right uh yeah so we got spark on one |
| 3434s | side and then we have uh Maui on the |
| 3437s | other side which is the male |
| 3447s | and they got enough with being on the |
| 3449s | student now they got I think they |
| 3451s | started poking at each |
| 3454s | other so we'll see so those are the two |
| 3457s | that are |
| 3458s | just um causing absolute |
| 3461s | Ruckus uh so no uh Maui being the male |
| 3464s | um they're both from the same |
| 3467s | uh same what do you call it |
| 3471s | lter |
| 3474s | um and they are coming up on |
| 3477s | one year now in |
| 3479s | uh in two weeks |
| 3483s | roughly so there's still counted as |
| 3485s | kittens for |
| 3487s | now and it it's definitely felt with the |
| 3491s | quantity of energy they have um across |
| 3493s | the |
| 3495s | board so it's you know walking them |
| 3498s | outside uh playing around with them |
| 3501s | and just helping them get rid of that |
| 3505s | excess energy to uh to have a somewhat |
| 3509s | same |
| 3512s | day but working from home and having |
| 3515s | those to those two just rumaging around |
| 3518s | you can be quite disruptive |
| 3522s | sometimes as you can tell from the |
| 3525s | stream speaking of cats there's a feline |
| 3528s | on top of the roof |
| 3531s | there Jaguar just casually strolling |
| 3534s | around not really knowing where it wants |
| 3536s | to go |
| 3541s | um there |
| 3542s | is another thing that's being looked at |
| 3545s | in terms of animal behaviors so they |
| 3547s | they're intended to be |
| 3551s | more um retreating when it comes to |
| 3556s | civilization um and there's a lot of |
| 3558s | experimentation and investigation into |
| 3560s | just general General AI behaviors and |
| 3563s | and what we can do |
| 3565s | technically um |
| 3567s | without causing any general performance |
| 3571s | impact um but yeah I've uh we'll go |
| 3576s | through that on a separate stream but |
| 3578s | there's some there's some pretty cool |
| 3579s | stuff coming up with new animations and |
| 3582s | general new pathing so the the animals |
| 3584s | are |
| 3585s | looking |
| 3587s | um pretty slick um in terms of getting |
| 3590s | up and down Ledges and like jumping down |
| 3593s | and all kinds of cool things |
| 3596s | um have you considered using the trample |
| 3598s | overlay for guiding where the animals |
| 3599s | wander um it's been a it's been a topic |
| 3604s | um but at the moment the trample layer |
| 3607s | in itself is |
| 3610s | just it's a |
| 3612s | bit kind of hard to |
| 3615s | discern um and it's the issue kind of |
| 3618s | boils |
| 3619s | into getting them to try to avoid it but |
| 3623s | at the same time they need to be able to |
| 3625s | kind of casually cross it if you have |
| 3627s | for |
| 3628s | example because they're on the 2D map um |
| 3631s | if you have like a longer tunnel or a |
| 3633s | highway or something you still want the |
| 3635s | animals to be able to cross over back |
| 3636s | and forth freely yet they're still |
| 3638s | supposed to be avoiding the |
| 3640s | area |
| 3643s | um so we we don't kind of we don't want |
| 3646s | to end up in a situation where you |
| 3648s | are |
| 3651s | um kind of boxing in animals because you |
| 3654s | have a road around the forest you still |
| 3656s | want them to somewhat go back and |
| 3659s | forth |
| 3661s | um but I think it's it's quite doable |
| 3664s | with just some fine-tuning of how much |
| 3667s | or want you know some some special cases |
| 3670s | for when to kind of ignore player |
| 3672s | trampled and so on so there's um there's |
| 3675s | definitely some investigation |
| 3678s | into dealing with it um because it's |
| 3682s | something that we |
| 3684s | want uh but we'll see see in what shape |
| 3687s | it manifests and U how it's going to be |
| 3694s | looking but yeah the animal General |
| 3696s | General animal View and animal behavior |
| 3698s | is definitely something that's on a very |
| 3701s | high interest |
| 3702s | table um especially looking at um animal |
| 3707s | husbandry later |
| 3710s | on until then I will enjoy my roof elk |
| 3713s | absolutely |
| 3717s | but one day one day the roof elk will be |
| 3720s | gone and you will be missing it as much |
| 3723s | as the Slender |
| 3729s | Fox it will be a sad sad day to |
| 3733s | celebrate no born roof |
| 3739s | animal um but yeah Forest deforestation |
| 3743s | seems to be |
| 3747s | as long as my Mine Wolf stays oh the the |
| 3749s | the Mine Wolf will probably also |
| 3752s | disappear uh don't remind me about the |
| 3754s | Slender Fox too soon ah it's not too |
| 3757s | soon that that thing's been out for I it |
| 3760s | feels like |
| 3762s | ages what was the last thing we saw |
| 3765s | it |
| 3770s | uh a year and a half ago maybe two years |
| 3774s | ago |
| 3778s | I wonder if we'll manage to find the |
| 3779s | echo statue oh that' be |
| 3785s | interesting yeah the the |
| 3789s | um was it 10 that finally removed I |
| 3793s | thought it was like |
| 3794s | 96 or 97 maybe I'll I'll poke Shard and |
| 3797s | see if he has I think he has some images |
| 3800s | and like um some in-game photos of uh |
| 3805s | the memorabilia of of the Slender |
| 3812s | Fox yeah there's there's definitely some |
| 3815s | [Music] |
| 3817s | deforestation |
| 3819s | well |
| 3831s | um yeah well as as mentioned |
| 3840s | um they are causing they are causing a |
| 3848s | rockus but it went all |
| 3860s | right what what you all heard there was |
| 3863s | the Ghost of the Slender Fox stirring in |
| 3865s | the background that the mentioning of |
| 3866s | their |
| 3869s | name the SL the spirit of the Slender |
| 3872s | Fox possessed the |
| 3879s | cat now it |
| 3883s | the they like to um they like to pretend |
| 3886s | that they're |
| 3888s | jumpers and |
| 3890s | just they they're they're climbers and |
| 3892s | then he's gotten he um Maui the male has |
| 3895s | gotten an absolute Obsession |
| 3898s | of |
| 3900s | um getting up on top of the um coat |
| 3905s | hanger like it has a a what is a good |
| 3909s | English translation for it Monsoon |
| 3911s | helped me out um like a hat rack for the |
| 3914s | coat |
| 3916s | hangers um and he wants to get up on |
| 3918s | it but he doesn't want to commit to the |
| 3922s | jump so he tries to do like a |
| 3923s | halfhearted jump and half CL |
| 3928s | which then results in him tearing stuff |
| 3931s | down and he hasn't really realized that |
| 3934s | when when it's not succeeding the first |
| 3937s | 30 |
| 3938s | times um to just give up on it no he |
| 3940s | he'll persistently try it until he uh |
| 3944s | manages so we'll see how long that |
| 3945s | interest is going to |
| 3948s | take previously the obsession was a um a |
| 3952s | cabinet inside the bathroom |
| 3958s | but he gave up on that eventually and |
| 3960s | then it resurfaces every now and |
| 3963s | then um can we get an in-game repository |
| 3966s | of official photos and images to use for |
| 3974s | culture The Marauder in |
| 3978s | question let just you stay with me |
| 3984s | now not a happy cat he is very much let |
| 3988s | me go I want to leave I want to climb on |
| 4002s | things and then as soon as you pick him |
| 4004s | up and she gets a free pass she starts |
| 4008s | to make noises |
| 4010s | so it is a |
| 4014s | um interesting life as a cat owner for |
| 4017s | two |
| 4034s | kittens they're being a |
| 4036s | bit causing a bit of |
| 4039s | ruckus |
| 4043s | uh so it's the apartment lization of the |
| 4047s | lumber rooms done how much how much |
| 4049s | points did we get up |
| 4052s | to so let's grab that the |
| 4055s | biodome property value let's see here |
| 4059s | 71.75 XP per day that is not |
| 4065s | bad we got residency we've got leaf leaf |
| 4068s | and |
| 4070s | Majors uh if we go here doesn't have a |
| 4074s | skill so um |
| 4077s | intrigued as to who is going to be |
| 4079s | picking up and living in the house to |
| 4081s | burn the XP for uh whatever profession |
| 4084s | comes |
| 4089s | next but the um it's like a default |
| 4093s | default set of cultural images and |
| 4095s | whatnot could be an interesting |
| 4097s | idea um |
| 4108s | but things are picking up they're |
| 4111s | they're uh houses for composits XP |
| 4118s | yeah I mean that's fitting right you're |
| 4121s | making a wooden house to to promote |
| 4136s | that is a very rucky |
| 4146s | cat |
| 4149s | H they really don't like me streaming |
| 4152s | tonight that's for |
| 4155s | sure or or in general ever but yeah here |
| 4159s | we are seen this by the way little |
| 4163s | little rubber duck in the bathtub |
| 4176s | oh |
| 4184s | oh it was some sparkly thingy on the |
| 4189s | Shelf that's why he had an obsession to |
| 4191s | get up |
| 4194s | there I'm |
| 4201s | um we also ran into uh speaking of the |
| 4204s | cats we also ran into an issue of he's |
| 4206s | starting to figure out how to pull out |
| 4208s | drawers and if anyone has a tip that is |
| 4211s | just you know not just |
| 4213s | like Child Safe the |
| 4216s | drawers um to get a cat to not try to |
| 4220s | open |
| 4221s | them it would |
| 4223s | be super appreciated |
| 4228s | um we've tried aluminum foil as well as |
| 4233s | using like a |
| 4235s | a |
| 4237s | um double-sided |
| 4240s | tape um and anything and the |
| 4242s | double-sided tape had an adverse effect |
| 4244s | because he wants to bite on it he's like |
| 4247s | ooh this can this can be chewed on |
| 4249s | delicious delicious |
| 4251s | glue um so that went out and uh yeah I |
| 4256s | we we're at a loss |
| 4261s | of what to do he's behaving like a |
| 4264s | dumpster cat it's like ooh can I eat |
| 4267s | garbage yes I will eat |
| 4276s | garbage we're seeing more and more |
| 4278s | deforestation there not a lot of trees |
| 4281s | left are they gunning for a full a full |
| 4284s | Continental |
| 4285s | deprivation of |
| 4289s | trees put a dog in the |
| 4298s | drawer I'm not sure if that's going to |
| 4300s | alleviate the situation or agitate the |
| 4309s | situation that may or may not be the |
| 4312s | goal U |
| 4322s | I always see a speedy a speedy Goods |
| 4325s | Transportation going on |
| 4333s | here paddling way just add rugs for four |
| 4336s | more XP in the lumberhouse got it to 75 |
| 4338s | that's pretty neat nice going |
| 4343s | um I'm not going to be touching any sand |
| 4345s | or clay against again for a little while |
| 4348s | after this well hopefully um hopefully |
| 4353s | it'll be a little bit alleviated with |
| 4355s | the steam tractor coming in um or the |
| 4358s | steam tractor |
| 4359s | attachment which is not it's not going |
| 4361s | to be able to dig |
| 4364s | rocks but it is intended to alleviate a |
| 4367s | lot of the terraforming which would also |
| 4369s | mean you know kind of clay accumulation |
| 4372s | mid game is going to be a lot |
| 4373s | easier um |
| 4377s | as well as sand obviously in and R |
| 4379s | rumaging around in the |
| 4382s | desert um |
| 4384s | it'll hopefully be a way |
| 4387s | of maybe promote a bit more of a query |
| 4391s | behavior of like cleaning off the dirt |
| 4393s | around cleaning off the sand around and |
| 4395s | then just digging straight down making |
| 4397s | like open pit mining a possibility |
| 4407s | have you seen the clay pits we have |
| 4409s | going on uh heavy stop I I'm not sure |
| 4412s | whereabouts are |
| 4416s | they are they somewhere |
| 4420s | Below in the forest I'm I'm presuming |
| 4423s | you are around them so let's just dive |
| 4425s | into the ground there and see what we |
| 4426s | can |
| 4429s | find oh yeah here we |
| 4433s | go oh boy yeah |
| 4436s | yeah this is this is some good stuff |
| 4439s | this is the source of the |
| 4442s | bricks life blood of |
| 4445s | civilization oh yeah no I can I can |
| 4448s | definitely see especially since you've |
| 4450s | been going on through a mechanical era |
| 4452s | so so |
| 4454s | long um you're definitely going to have |
| 4457s | an absolute blast with the steam tractor |
| 4460s | changes |
| 4462s | um can pretty much guarantee that |
| 4471s | that is a lot of digging that is a lot |
| 4473s | of digging in a very short period of |
| 4476s | time and I see you're also finding some |
| 4479s | gold here sporadically |
| 4500s | but that is an interesting complication |
| 4502s | so what's the general opinion of falling |
| 4506s | blocks or or general not necessarily |
| 4510s | structural Integrity per se but |
| 4512s | environmental |
| 4517s | Integrity so say you know dirt and sand |
| 4522s | would fall down as you dig away the |
| 4524s | supporting structure on under |
| 4532s | it cuz it it is a bit sad the way it's |
| 4536s | looking right |
| 4544s | now as you have that environmental |
| 4546s | effect when you're dealing with uh |
| 4549s | rubble and so on that it it does kind of |
| 4551s | transform a bit around you but |
| 4557s | I would personally like to see us |
| 4562s | introduce uh something similar to |
| 4567s | it um as it would mean that you would |
| 4570s | need to |
| 4572s | build I mean you could probably cheese |
| 4574s | it through quite quickly like you when |
| 4576s | you're digging something out you'd |
| 4577s | replace it with just a layer |
| 4580s | of um beams or or you know a a ceiling |
| 4585s | coat of mortared stone or something |
| 4588s | um but especially for natural terrain is |
| 4591s | my |
| 4592s | main kind of view on it is when you dig |
| 4595s | around and dig away the structural |
| 4598s | Integrity of it it would collapse on |
| 4600s | itself or fall down which would make |
| 4603s | more open pit mining |
| 4607s | um the natural goal so as one of the big |
| 4611s | I think one of the big irks I have from |
| 4613s | a design perspective when it comes to |
| 4616s | material acquisition and terraforming |
| 4618s | overall is that like we've seen you know |
| 4621s | we rag around in the ground |
| 4623s | here um as as well now under the clay |
| 4626s | here with early pointing out that that |
| 4629s | thing was |
| 4630s | happening |
| 4632s | um looking at the map like you have this |
| 4635s | massive quantity of resources B out and |
| 4638s | um done absolutely colossal Devastation |
| 4641s | to everything however the top like the |
| 4645s | General environment looks like it's |
| 4647s | completely untouched outside you know |
| 4649s | the the devoid life of trees in the |
| 4652s | rainforest but all on its on its enal |
| 4656s | phase there's not a lot of change in the |
| 4663s | environment um which from from a design |
| 4666s | perspective on on my end it just feels |
| 4669s | wrong when the intention is to have |
| 4672s | bigger environmental impact changes not |
| 4674s | just |
| 4675s | pollution um and garbage and and things |
| 4678s | that we have planned focusing |
| 4680s | for but also the general the general |
| 4684s | natural deformation of |
| 4687s | terrain so as you're digging out stuff |
| 4690s | you are leaving massive |
| 4692s | holes |
| 4695s | um or when you're converting stuff and |
| 4698s | you're mining out a large quantity of |
| 4700s | materials you're turning it into gravel |
| 4703s | um most cases people tend to just turn |
| 4706s | it into research papers as a way |
| 4709s | to sort of destroy material in a |
| 4713s | sense uh now some of that is going to |
| 4715s | change due to the introduction |
| 4719s | of um catalysts and garbage generation |
| 4723s | so you might not want to turn all of |
| 4725s | that Rubble into research paper because |
| 4728s | it's just going |
| 4729s | to replace the rubble with something |
| 4733s | worse than Rubble so it would be better |
| 4735s | to turn the rubble into gravel and then |
| 4737s | pouring it back out to get rid of it in |
| 4740s | a sense of dumping |
| 4745s | it U so there's some food for thought |
| 4748s | for |
| 4756s | you uh logging having to make support |
| 4759s | beams would be interesting yeah there's |
| 4761s | there's a few example of games that have |
| 4763s | done it uh there a few few mods to other |
| 4766s | games that have managed to introduce it |
| 4768s | as a separate |
| 4769s | thing |
| 4774s | um and there there are there are more or |
| 4779s | less complicated ways of doing it and |
| 4781s | there's more or less ways of doing it |
| 4784s | without having a |
| 4786s | massive kind of detrimental impact on |
| 4789s | the player but at the same time filling |
| 4792s | out a very critical |
| 4796s | um limitation in certain buildings and |
| 4799s | certain |
| 4806s | options yes we we're seeing some |
| 4808s | separation for the copper and gold now |
| 4811s | and um guess the assembly line of rocks |
| 4815s | moving forward is a good indication of |
| 4817s | things progressing how is the research |
| 4819s | looking now |
| 4822s | and I managed to break it somehow again |
| 4826s | however I still see tier four or most of |
| 4830s | tier four at |
| 4832s | least missing some other stuff I I |
| 4836s | I honestly don't know how I keep |
| 4838s | breaking |
| 4839s | it which boils into the fun of doing QA |
| 4843s | and finding repetitive steps to make it |
| 4846s | solvable |
| 4860s | [Laughter] |
| 4868s | I honestly didn't realize you were here |
| 4870s | catfish before you mentioned |
| 4874s | it me there we go |
| 4898s | and for anyone that is a bit confused on |
| 4901s | what's going on we are running a event |
| 4904s | server that is doing a speedrun |
| 4908s | attempt um setting sort of a baseline |
| 4911s | record for quickest comp completion |
| 4918s | um with no real population limit per se |
| 4921s | but it it'll be mostly counted towards |
| 4923s | the total quantity of hours for |
| 4932s | completion and just keeping tabs on |
| 4935s | what's going on how it's going and |
| 4938s | uh chatting a bit about balance and and |
| 4940s | all things Eco so if you have a question |
| 4943s | pop it in chat I'll happily answer as |
| 4946s | much as I can uh to the extent that I |
| 4950s | can um if you have feedback and |
| 4954s | suggestions you can hop in over on I |
| 4956s | think Dennis said that there it was uh |
| 4959s | feedback. play.co but you also have the |
| 4961s | direct canny link up in the top right |
| 4963s | corner |
| 4976s | where did you hide the echo on this map |
| 4978s | I haven't hidden it it's |
| 4979s | programmatically generated don't blame |
| 4981s | me for not finding |
| 4982s | it it's in the ground somewhere way you |
| 4985s | just have to keep digging out the |
| 4996s | world but it's it's there somewhere |
| 5009s | there still some gold in that |
| 5013s | stockpile now we have some now we have |
| 5015s | some nice looking rain weather coming |
| 5018s | down |
| 5024s | here so this is the some of the new |
| 5027s | ambient effects and why is |
| 5030s | it play nice now |
| 5035s | um yeah some of the new ambient effects |
| 5038s | that is things that we add on for just |
| 5043s | adding more depth of fi to the game um |
| 5046s | making sure that we get some effects and |
| 5049s | some audio and things kind of happening |
| 5051s | in the background |
| 5055s | that kind of we want to avoid having |
| 5058s | Dead Silence if you will there there's |
| 5060s | there's a few general based rules in |
| 5066s | game audio or general like the |
| 5069s | experienced audio um in a sense and a |
| 5073s | lot of times we just we didn't |
| 5075s | necessarily just want to |
| 5077s | have just the music filling out in the |
| 5082s | background um so some of the things that |
| 5085s | we wanted to introduce was you know |
| 5087s | weather changes not necessarily directly |
| 5091s | having an impact on things although that |
| 5093s | is also something that we want to take a |
| 5095s | look |
| 5098s | at um but just get more of an Ambience |
| 5103s | feel um so you have a bit |
| 5106s | of shift in the environment around you |
| 5111s | visually um and storms weathers and and |
| 5114s | kind |
| 5116s | of visual elements in that regard was |
| 5118s | quite easy to just go like hey this is |
| 5120s | something we really want |
| 5125s | um and with that we got some sound added |
| 5127s | to it uh we tuned the sound levels a lot |
| 5130s | on feedback based from the play |
| 5133s | test and if you have any general issues |
| 5137s | regarding sound uh be it channeling |
| 5140s | or pitch pitch or lack of and so on |
| 5146s | just hop in on uh on the bug tracker or |
| 5151s | pop a message and and point it out in |
| 5153s | the bug testing |
| 5159s | um and give some feedback on it because |
| 5163s | the players are more likely to find |
| 5165s | things that we might |
| 5167s | be what do you call it like feature |
| 5169s | blind to I |
| 5172s | guess |
| 5175s | um |
| 5177s | uh in in in Swedish we usually refer to |
| 5181s | it as arbet SC which would be like |
| 5186s | when you get when you're working on a |
| 5189s | specific |
| 5190s | thing uh for a long time and you're kind |
| 5193s | of linearly looking at just this thing |
| 5195s | and then so you know you kind of you |
| 5197s | kind of |
| 5198s | get |
| 5201s | um you have a hard time seeing the whole |
| 5204s | picture or certain things that may be |
| 5206s | adjacent to the |
| 5209s | Future um when you're just doing the one |
| 5213s | thing and getting some external eyes on |
| 5216s | it definitely helps giving kind of give |
| 5220s | back the perspective for why we're doing |
| 5223s | the things we're |
| 5224s | doing um which definitely help it's it |
| 5228s | definitely helps us make a better |
| 5230s | product of Eco but it also helps |
| 5233s | us uh kind of grow as developers as well |
| 5238s | and |
| 5239s | uh be better at you |
| 5242s | know seeing the whole thing and and how |
| 5246s | everything's interacting with it with |
| 5248s | each individual part and it all needs to |
| 5250s | kind of synergize and sometimes that |
| 5252s | just clashes with what if we're working |
| 5254s | on one explicit thing and then suddenly |
| 5256s | that breaks another thing and then can |
| 5259s | end up in an everlasting Loop |
| 5263s | of fixing fixing the wrong things for |
| 5266s | the right reasons or fixing the right |
| 5268s | things for the wrong |
| 5271s | reasons um which is why our Q8 team is |
| 5274s | amazing |
| 5275s | at going through that first line of |
| 5279s | defense um giving us a lot of valuable |
| 5282s | feedback in if things are fun or if they |
| 5285s | don't make sense |
| 5287s | or um if it's way too overboard in |
| 5290s | certain areas and then points out the |
| 5293s | play test and we have more average |
| 5294s | players pop in and give their feel and |
| 5299s | especially for an early access title |
| 5300s | it's |
| 5303s | invaluable cannot thank the players |
| 5305s | enough for getting involved in the um in |
| 5309s | the whole |
| 5313s | process um so it's it's an absolute |
| 5316s | privilege and a blast to uh be able to |
| 5319s | just sit down in |
| 5321s | chat and uh just do these streams and |
| 5325s | casually more of a a casual approach to |
| 5328s | it instead of just kind of having that |
| 5330s | PowerPoint presentation one to 10 dot |
| 5333s | these are the subjects we're talking |
| 5334s | about these here and now is when we're |
| 5338s | discussing |
| 5339s | XYZ but just take a more casual tone to |
| 5342s | it and just |
| 5345s | um have a better General open discussion |
| 5347s | for |
| 5352s | things now granted when I'm alone and I |
| 5355s | don't have any any co-partner to kind of |
| 5357s | Bounce things in between I can get a bit |
| 5359s | rambly |
| 5361s | so apologize if I repeat eat myself too |
| 5368s | much um is the garbage burning recipe |
| 5371s | coming into vanilla in the future um it |
| 5373s | probably it it probably will in some |
| 5376s | shape or |
| 5378s | form |
| 5380s | um we have some specific things in mind |
| 5383s | for |
| 5384s | um post 10.3 we have the next subsequent |
| 5390s | update will'll have a bit of focus |
| 5391s | towards that area specifically |
| 5394s | so I don't want to add a recipe to then |
| 5396s | completely re rework it or or it gets |
| 5399s | done in a completely different |
| 5401s | manner um in the subsequent update |
| 5405s | so um not yet but there will be some |
| 5409s | version of it |
| 5421s | coming beautiful brick building |
| 5428s | and on the topic of being completely |
| 5432s | blind to things when we are working on |
| 5434s | specific |
| 5437s | features sometimes I can get absolutely |
| 5439s | lost |
| 5441s | in um so for example now that we've been |
| 5444s | working on the painting and everything |
| 5447s | around it I come into release and I'm |
| 5450s | like why haven't anyone painted this |
| 5451s | building yet and then it takes me a few |
| 5454s | minutes and go like hm wait that's |
| 5456s | because we haven't released it |
| 5457s | yet um and that's happened more than |
| 5460s | once both in terms of like the food |
| 5464s | flavor and things that um when I've been |
| 5467s | running kind of private play tests um |
| 5471s | locally and I just get lost in the |
| 5475s | content of the next update as working on |
| 5478s | it and sometimes forget that certain |
| 5481s | things hasn't been released yet or |
| 5482s | certain things aren't publicized yet |
| 5488s | um and coming into some of the |
| 5491s | discussions that we have back and forth |
| 5493s | in regards to design or balance and so |
| 5495s | on on the Discord as well um sometimes |
| 5499s | I'm |
| 5501s | basing uh feedback to questions |
| 5505s | or um |
| 5508s | suggestions |
| 5511s | on something that players wouldn't be |
| 5514s | able to |
| 5515s | know um which is not by intent it's more |
| 5518s | of an |
| 5519s | oversight um since I kind of have a |
| 5524s | sheath book |
| 5525s | of what we're working on and what |
| 5527s | priority these are these things are |
| 5530s | happening um an example on that would be |
| 5534s | the blacksmith for example |
| 5537s | um where the blacksmith profession as is |
| 5540s | might not make a lot of sense outside of |
| 5544s | it cleaned up a lot of the metal working |
| 5546s | Pathways and kind of profession |
| 5549s | scaling um but it'll make so much more |
| 5552s | sense once we get 10.3 out because we |
| 5554s | have a lot of things in relation to item |
| 5556s | Decay and kind of tool Decay which will |
| 5558s | keep the blacksmith super |
| 5561s | occupied um whereas right now they might |
| 5564s | seem a little bit |
| 5566s | Hollow |
| 5570s | um and that's definitely areas that that |
| 5575s | are it |
| 5577s | it I kind of feel bad |
| 5581s | for doing it in the way we're doing it |
| 5585s | sometimes but it's also very hard to |
| 5588s | avoid those |
| 5590s | clashes because we have certain Tim taes |
| 5593s | internally for release |
| 5595s | scheduling um as well as kind of what |
| 5597s | feature what features are going into |
| 5599s | which update and |
| 5601s | then we need like we can work on an |
| 5604s | update indefinitely there there is there |
| 5606s | is no there's no doubts about that like |
| 5610s | we can we can just make an update an |
| 5612s | Omega |
| 5614s | update um which we saw with 10.0 for |
| 5616s | example |
| 5618s | where the the the quantity of features |
| 5621s | and the quantity of content in that |
| 5624s | update was astronomical compared to some |
| 5626s | of the minor |
| 5629s | ones and you cannot you you cannot risk |
| 5632s | running into a slippery slope of Fe |
| 5634s | creep uh which is what it's defined |
| 5637s | as um in the industry |
| 5640s | where you're working on something and |
| 5643s | you have a core concept for it and |
| 5646s | then you you're just kind of every time |
| 5649s | you add something or you polish |
| 5650s | something and you go hm you know what if |
| 5652s | we just add this little thing it'll be a |
| 5655s | lot better and then once you've added |
| 5658s | that you go well you know now that we've |
| 5660s | added this this doesn't really feel |
| 5662s | correctly or it doesn't really feel as |
| 5664s | as good as I wanted it to be or uh you |
| 5667s | know what let's scrap this thing |
| 5668s | completely and do it this way |
| 5671s | instead and each of those decisions can |
| 5674s | add weeks if not months of time |
| 5676s | depending on the scope of that specific |
| 5679s | feature um and it is by far I think the |
| 5684s | biggest |
| 5685s | cause of delays in a lot of |
| 5689s | things um either incorrectly estimations |
| 5692s | for |
| 5695s | um how how long these things can take or |
| 5698s | the the the uh the complications that |
| 5701s | arise from it like the painting system |
| 5703s | um had a lot of technical hurdles that |
| 5707s | we had had to pass through both in terms |
| 5709s | of um the user ends of things with the |
| 5712s | interaction |
| 5714s | itself um we |
| 5716s | had um so when we add paint buckets for |
| 5720s | the full RGB |
| 5722s | scale we don't want to have a general |
| 5725s | bloat we had to have an icon that's |
| 5727s | dynamically changing based on the color |
| 5730s | palette that you having for that or the |
| 5733s | kind of the color selection for that |
| 5734s | paint otherwise you know we we would |
| 5737s | need 16 million icons in the project |
| 5740s | just to have one for each shade of |
| 5743s | color which is obviously not |
| 5746s | realistically |
| 5747s | possible um because that would make the |
| 5750s | game like 45 gigs just in icons um |
| 5755s | so we needed to C up cook up a way where |
| 5757s | we can have an icon that has two parts |
| 5759s | to it with one which is dynamically |
| 5761s | changed in |
| 5762s | runtime um using the Shader for the |
| 5766s | color which was something the the core |
| 5769s | system wasn't really capable of |
| 5771s | supporting so there was a lot of lot of |
| 5774s | investigation and um testing from Mike |
| 5778s | to get that sorted and figured |
| 5781s | out uh but in the end it works really |
| 5783s | nice |
| 5785s | um but it things like that can sound so |
| 5789s | easy to |
| 5791s | do but be really technically complicated |
| 5794s | to actually |
| 5796s | Implement |
| 5798s | um either due to already existing |
| 5801s | constraints in World space or just |
| 5804s | from the system never had that |
| 5807s | functionality in mind from the |
| 5811s | start um |
| 5814s | but yeah you know it's it's onward |
| 5816s | forward and going quite |
| 5819s | nicely um hammering away at 10.3 at a |
| 5822s | pretty rapid |
| 5824s | Pace um we got a lot of new cool things |
| 5828s | to show off as well in the next Dev |
| 5830s | stream |
| 5832s | um which will as usual be a bi-weekly |
| 5836s | thing on |
| 5839s | uh uh actually I shouldn't Pro hang on |
| 5842s | hang onang on let me |
| 5844s | because I am going to be yeah so the |
| 5848s | next Dev |
| 5849s | stream won't be in two |
| 5853s | weeks I'd completely forgot to take that |
| 5855s | into account um so it'll be it'll be in |
| 5859s | three weeks on the |
| 5867s | 24th um is modern research papers |
| 5869s | getting reduced by upgrades in lab on |
| 5872s | purpose no |
| 5876s | that shouldn't be a |
| 5880s | case let's have a |
| 5883s | look cuz I could have sworn I went over |
| 5887s | all the |
| 5901s | recipes huh |
| 5911s | yeah that that shouldn't be a |
| 5915s | case um apparently is it is a |
| 5923s | thing |
| 5926s | H that'll have to be sorted out make him |
| 5932s | quick stop the the Machinery stop the |
| 5936s | Machinery um has the idea of a stamina |
| 5939s | barbing tossed around at all um stamina |
| 5940s | in terms of like Sprint speed or |
| 5943s | swimming restrictions rather than |
| 5945s | calories or what what are you |
| 5948s | uh what are you thinking in regards to a |
| 5950s | stamina usage |
| 5954s | Pondo um because yeah in in some of |
| 5957s | those cases it has been considered but |
| 5960s | it it felt like it really clashes with |
| 5963s | the Y |
| 5964s | the the general interactions of having |
| 5967s | like a UI element that pops up and gets |
| 5970s | removed when doing things um when it's |
| 5974s | innately not doing |
| 5976s | it |
| 5978s | um but yeah it's we've talked about it |
| 5982s | but it hasn't really been anything more |
| 5984s | than just kind of discussing the |
| 5986s | possibilities of how it could work and |
| 5988s | in in what capacity would we would look |
| 5991s | at it |
| 5994s | so there's there's nothing really |
| 5995s | defined for |
| 5999s | it it would give a lot more options for |
| 6001s | food quality Buffs and clothing Etc yeah |
| 6004s | it it's it's definitely not a bad |
| 6006s | idea |
| 6011s | um but it's it's a question kind of |
| 6013s | where it fits in to what degree it's it |
| 6015s | would have an impact |
| 6018s | um so it's not off the table I wouldn't |
| 6021s | say that but |
| 6024s | it is currently not on the table if that |
| 6027s | makes |
| 6044s | sense um thirst as a stamina might make |
| 6048s | more sense so you have to think about |
| 6050s | proximity to water yeah I think think it |
| 6054s | it could be an interesting interesting |
| 6056s | stage to look into we also have some |
| 6058s | ideas on on just generally change |
| 6062s | out water speaking of thirst |
| 6066s | um but in terms of having different |
| 6069s | types of liquids be actual liquids and |
| 6071s | not just an effect in |
| 6074s | water um so you would potentially have |
| 6077s | things like |
| 6079s | oil um and so on be an actual liquid |
| 6081s | rather than well it it would also be an |
| 6084s | abstract thing but um also be a liquid |
| 6087s | and um wet tailings |
| 6090s | obviously is also intended to be a |
| 6093s | liquid |
| 6096s | eventually |
| 6099s | um and we're also looking at General |
| 6101s | pollution effects with more more General |
| 6104s | permanent damage to the world |
| 6106s | but part of it also be |
| 6111s | recoverable um |
| 6116s | for you know chemical spills and cleanup |
| 6118s | and and uh oil spills and so on |
| 6123s | um accidents and and whatever else weird |
| 6126s | crazy things we can cook |
| 6129s | up um any plans in regards to reworking |
| 6132s | the way skill scrolls are created either |
| 6134s | removing the books themselves or |
| 6136s | something more akin to the way they're |
| 6137s | done on white tiger always struggled |
| 6139s | with the infinite Scrolls being turned |
| 6140s | out |
| 6146s | um sort of but not really there are the |
| 6149s | there there are some ideas towards |
| 6152s | changing out the general |
| 6155s | research |
| 6158s | um and how you kind of accumulate |
| 6161s | research and get on with tech things but |
| 6166s | nothing that is solid enough to present |
| 6174s | uh wet tailings being liquid like pour |
| 6176s | them out into the ocean |
| 6186s | yeah uh what about making Sprint speed |
| 6189s | the variables you can adjust SL improve |
| 6191s | it Barefoot Sprint is worse than shoe |
| 6193s | sprinting |
| 6195s | um so at the moment the Sprint speed is |
| 6198s | based on your movement speed which is |
| 6201s | changed by footware |
| 6205s | so if you're running Barefoot versus if |
| 6206s | you have shoes on you you will run |
| 6208s | faster with shoes on you which by |
| 6210s | definition will also make the sprinting |
| 6212s | with shoes faster than sprinting with |
| 6213s | bare feet |
| 6236s | uh yeah alen that that that's also the |
| 6238s | case you can you have the variable |
| 6241s | exposed but you have a max value on the |
| 6243s | client |
| 6246s | um kind of |
| 6253s | thing yeah the the Sprint modifier of |
| 6256s | the base value is hard kept |
| 6268s | um yeah and kind of white white tiger is |
| 6271s | also it's also you know it it's got its |
| 6274s | recipes kind of wrapped up the ceiling |
| 6276s | and it has the books are the books are |
| 6280s | costly because the the general intention |
| 6282s | is to like each research is its own kind |
| 6286s | of |
| 6287s | miniature gate |
| 6297s | um does movement speed affect boat speed |
| 6300s | no um the vehicle speed is set on the |
| 6303s | vehicles themselves so they're |
| 6312s | separate there's a sad little contract |
| 6318s | board got a few things on |
| 6321s | it it's like hey come help me |
| 6325s | yeah here we |
| 6330s | go |
| 6334s | interesting there's been rumors that it |
| 6336s | affects boat but never tested it no it |
| 6338s | it |
| 6340s | shouldn't they don't really have |
| 6341s | anything to do with each other um as the |
| 6343s | vehicle speed is separate set on the |
| 6345s | actual vehicle prefab itself |
| 6355s | it's completely |
| 6358s | deforested but as people have been |
| 6360s | clearing off the stumps I guess we are |
| 6361s | seeing some some trees pop back into |
| 6364s | action |
| 6375s | here the food production is slowly |
| 6378s | getting taller and taller we've got some |
| 6381s | some more cast iron stoves and we also |
| 6383s | have the new edition of kitchens here |
| 6415s | and the masonry place is a |
| 6419s | very it's a very sad sad production line |
| 6422s | at the moment we see some reinforced |
| 6424s | concrete turned out um the trees ever |
| 6427s | die naturally not at the moment |
| 6433s | um excessive |
| 6436s | pollution |
| 6438s | um generally tends to lead to |
| 6440s | temperature rise and temperature rise is |
| 6442s | what kills the |
| 6446s | um but by themselves like of of old age |
| 6450s | Etc no |
| 6452s | um not at the moment at |
| 6455s | least |
| 6457s | um we have some ideas |
| 6461s | for General like plant wilting |
| 6465s | and um having a a a proper life cycle |
| 6468s | for the |
| 6470s | the um plants and and crops and |
| 6473s | everything |
| 6475s | um but that would that that is going to |
| 6478s | be a kind of a bigger project to tackle |
| 6481s | in uh in a later |
| 6485s | update uh Seasons Seasons I I started |
| 6489s | poking at Seasons out of a you know from |
| 6491s | from a |
| 6492s | design um side of things like how we |
| 6494s | could how Seasons would work if we could |
| 6497s | do it um what the general gameplay |
| 6500s | effects would be how much how much |
| 6502s | General effort it would be for |
| 6505s | um adding like seasonal effects on |
| 6510s | assets as a blank canvas kind of |
| 6512s | replacement thing like changing out the |
| 6515s | shades of all the um all the the plant |
| 6517s | life basically and um adding effects to |
| 6521s | things um up and down and kind of seeing |
| 6524s | where the labor scales are for these |
| 6526s | things um and Seasons would definitely |
| 6529s | be |
| 6531s | plausible in certain FES and |
| 6535s | Scopes but it would probably more be |
| 6540s | more in line |
| 6543s | of like summer/ Springs being more |
| 6546s | fertile versus autumn and winter that's |
| 6550s | reducing growth and and yields and so |
| 6554s | on uh but having it outright be |
| 6558s | say uh you know winter comes in then |
| 6560s | winter just kills everything on the |
| 6562s | planet can kind of thing |
| 6566s | um then it kind of boils down into how |
| 6568s | long are the seasons going to be in that |
| 6571s | case so would the seasons be you know 3 |
| 6574s | days 2 days 5 days if you're looking at |
| 6577s | a cycle life a life cycle of four to six |
| 6581s | weeks on a |
| 6583s | server um would you know a quarter of |
| 6587s | the time be spent in winter |
| 6591s | season um how would that affect player |
| 6594s | acquisition food |
| 6596s | storage um and all of the other kind of |
| 6598s | nested things surrounding it are The |
| 6601s | Gather is just going to be completely |
| 6602s | useless not have anything to do the |
| 6604s | entire |
| 6607s | week um so there's a lot of there's a |
| 6609s | lot of |
| 6612s | complicated um nested issues in |
| 6614s | it um that may be resolved in kind of |
| 6618s | gamify gamifying |
| 6621s | it uh along |
| 6626s | um and just have reductions bonuses |
| 6629s | perks depending on the kind of the |
| 6632s | temperature range and the um seasonal |
| 6635s | choice but it's it's definitely |
| 6637s | something that I've been looking at um |
| 6638s | from a design |
| 6641s | and in done done a bit of Investigation |
| 6644s | into how it could be applicable in uh in |
| 6648s | Eco but it would be a cool thing to have |
| 6650s | definitely |
| 6655s | uh winter on on Northern Hemisphere and |
| 6658s | Southern and summer on Southern yeah |
| 6660s | which is also which is also a way to |
| 6662s | kind of get around it where you would |
| 6665s | shift um like each region would have a a |
| 6669s | summer to Winter cycle and |
| 6672s | then it would shift and and change and |
| 6674s | you'd always have summer somewhere you'd |
| 6676s | always have winter somewhere kind of |
| 6678s | thing |
| 6679s | um that poses their own kind of problems |
| 6683s | in conundrums but |
| 6685s | uh uh yeah it's definitely something |
| 6688s | that is being looked at in for uh for |
| 6691s | future improvements and uh just general |
| 6703s | experiences um what about adding shovel |
| 6705s | to the Gathering |
| 6708s | profession uh not a bad |
| 6711s | idea I was contemplating whether or not |
| 6714s | we wanted to add it |
| 6716s | to |
| 6719s | um add it to |
| 6722s | self-improvement have it um think it is |
| 6725s | under here yeah it is falling under |
| 6727s | modern shovel but I was um leaning |
| 6730s | towards adding shoveling as a |
| 6733s | self-improvement actually gaining |
| 6735s | experience in self-improvement by |
| 6737s | shoving but it would make sense to have |
| 6740s | it on Gathering as well |
| 6747s | uh Seasons should be like should be 20 |
| 6751s | like 20 days but have a server option on |
| 6752s | and off and availability to change the |
| 6754s | number of days yeah that if if a feature |
| 6757s | like that would be um implemented it |
| 6761s | would have some customization regarding |
| 6763s | the limitation of it similar to how food |
| 6765s | variation and and so on are uh |
| 6768s | optionable and tweakable |
| 6787s | they we're looking like that |
| 6791s | where Advanced masonry is coming along |
| 6793s | Advanced cooking is coming |
| 6797s | along can we see interesting in their |
| 6801s | Electronics is still not complet |
| 6802s | completely filled |
| 6805s | out |
| 6807s | so this is also kind of an interesting |
| 6810s | way to loop around tool tips and see |
| 6813s | what's being made where so if you go in |
| 6816s | on the on the specific book um you can |
| 6819s | also see you can also check for where |
| 6822s | it's been crafted see how many of these |
| 6825s | are in the world you can see the name |
| 6826s | see where they |
| 6827s | belong and then you can also kind of see |
| 6830s | what upgrades are in them as well as |
| 6832s | what re what recipes are been queued on |
| 6835s | them so if we want to see the electronic |
| 6837s | skillbook for example we can see that |
| 6840s | it's missing the Metallurgy Advanced |
| 6842s | papers as well as the Metallurgy modern |
| 6846s | papers that would be uh rebarn |
| 6850s | steel and then it would be Iron |
| 6854s | copper uh yeah iron |
| 6858s | copper uh is level seven stay in the cap |
| 6861s | or is there plans to go higher uh um at |
| 6863s | the moment there isn't any plans to |
| 6865s | increase it |
| 6866s | further and the reason for that is |
| 6869s | mainly related to the quantity of things |
| 6871s | that goes into it because people would |
| 6873s | need to have General reasons to go |
| 6877s | further up uh we have some ideas |
| 6881s | on adjusting the experience gain and the |
| 6885s | quantity of experience required for the |
| 6886s | different professions so they scale more |
| 6888s | over time rather than as of right now |
| 6893s | you can just kind of burn through the |
| 6894s | larger volume of professions in in under |
| 6897s | a |
| 6898s | day like mining can probably if you if |
| 6901s | you build a a sort of a moderate house |
| 6904s | early on you can probably do what mining |
| 6907s | skill in like four to 6 |
| 6910s | hours and the same thing in particular |
| 6913s | for the Gathering uh |
| 6916s | professions |
| 6917s | which uh it's generally great for like |
| 6920s | seeing super quick progression but it's |
| 6922s | also it also leaves zero paths for |
| 6926s | improvements in it um outside of what |
| 6929s | you get basically the first day you're |
| 6931s | playing with that skill so you don't |
| 6934s | have kind of something to drive for and |
| 6936s | something to look forward |
| 6938s | to |
| 6940s | um on a longer term thing so say like a |
| 6943s | week two |
| 6945s | weeks |
| 6947s | um and it's it's part of what we want to |
| 6951s | adjust and help to have a |
| 6953s | kind of a smoother curve for |
| 6963s | it um is the idea of stars being used |
| 6966s | for progression in skill levels going to |
| 6967s | make it as a game mechanic |
| 6969s | yeah um in particular for Perks at least |
| 6972s | we'll see how far we expand |
| 6975s | it uh but but perks are definitely going |
| 6978s | to |
| 6978s | have um an investment cost in them |
| 6999s | Cal a story night |
| 7006s | here the industrial puffs of |
| 7010s | exasperation |
| 7013s | filling the environment with |
| 7025s | pollutants so if we take a sneak peek |
| 7027s | into the brick house we got some |
| 7030s | furniture we got some |
| 7039s | uh some general housing things so how's |
| 7042s | is also going to be a a big a big topic |
| 7046s | for uh 10.3 later on when uh probably do |
| 7050s | the outdoor stream next I think um it'll |
| 7054s | fit well with the housing |
| 7056s | subject so we have some plans to |
| 7059s | completely kind of rumage around in uh |
| 7063s | housing points housing values and the |
| 7065s | dimition costs relations to how much you |
| 7068s | stack in a room how much Furniture you |
| 7070s | generally need to be able to fill out |
| 7072s | out um the points for the equivalent |
| 7082s | rooms |
| 7084s | um so it'll be it'll it'll be easier to |
| 7087s | max out a |
| 7089s | room for that specific tier but it'll be |
| 7093s | harder to max out the points in a room |
| 7097s | scaling up the tier value of the housing |
| 7101s | material so |
| 7104s | you'll have lower you'll have higher |
| 7106s | points per Furniture but you'll have |
| 7108s | lower points when you duplicate the |
| 7111s | furniture and you're going to need more |
| 7113s | modern furniture to kind of get up to |
| 7116s | max value as you progress through the |
| 7119s | tech threee as |
| 7121s | well so when you're looking at like tier |
| 7123s | four tier five um |
| 7126s | housing you're going to want to have |
| 7128s | like |
| 7129s | the uh the washing machine and uh like |
| 7133s | properly geared out kitchen to be able |
| 7135s | to get as much points as you can |
| 7139s | um but we'll also be bumping up quite a |
| 7143s | lot of the um General values from this |
| 7146s | the the supplementary Furniture so |
| 7149s | lightning for example is going to get an |
| 7150s | absolutely huge |
| 7153s | boost and it's going to be well worth |
| 7155s | the investment of having that uh fuel |
| 7158s | cost early on |
| 7164s | that thing is done |
| 7167s | um see housing is going to get uh pretty |
| 7172s | significant uh facelift in |
| 7176s | 10.3 but I'll go in more on detail on |
| 7179s | that on |
| 7181s | uh when I stream the next |
| 7188s | time but it's G to be uh it's going to |
| 7191s | be interesting |
| 7194s | um it the um that update is going to |
| 7198s | introduce a lot of new a lot of new cool |
| 7201s | restrictions and Bounds but it's also |
| 7202s | going to introduce a few few Nifty |
| 7205s | quality of life things and some |
| 7207s | significant upgrades to certain |
| 7211s | parts uh like a whole new crafting |
| 7214s | UI which |
| 7217s | is |
| 7219s | astronomical it's been in the um it's |
| 7221s | been in the works for a while and we |
| 7223s | haven't shown off any generals for it |
| 7226s | but we'll have |
| 7229s | that |
| 7231s | uh we'll have that meet the light of day |
| 7235s | eventually |
| 7242s | um yes new crafting UI is going to make |
| 7244s | it it's going to make it a lot easier |
| 7246s | there's some some quality of life |
| 7248s | features in |
| 7250s | it uh the old Hammer button to see |
| 7252s | variations is also going to |
| 7255s | vanish um so it's it's going to be it's |
| 7259s | probably going to feel very alien |
| 7260s | initially as with all major UI |
| 7264s | reworks |
| 7266s | um but it's great it it is it is |
| 7269s | absolutely |
| 7270s | great um just can't show it off yet |
| 7275s | because it's going in on develop branch |
| 7277s | and develop Branch isn't entirely stable |
| 7280s | enough to do a proper stream on because |
| 7283s | uh there's a lot of things that shifting |
| 7285s | around with our new auto system and |
| 7288s | other |
| 7291s | aspects um what are my thoughts on the |
| 7295s | current Gathering and building |
| 7297s | animations um are we referring to the |
| 7302s | general um the general limitation in |
| 7305s | speed in in hand Gathering and building |
| 7309s | or uh which particular |
| 7313s | parts of |
| 7314s | them are you wondering |
| 7319s | about because generally speaking um I |
| 7322s | want animations for everything because |
| 7325s | it looks it looks clean it looks |
| 7327s | polished it it feels more |
| 7329s | interactive |
| 7333s | um and not having interactions is it |
| 7338s | feels very |
| 7340s | static and it just like there's a lack |
| 7344s | of player reference to |
| 7348s | it |
| 7352s | um that said there's also kind of a |
| 7355s | border in between what looks really nice |
| 7357s | what feels really nice and what actually |
| 7360s | works um which is part of why we |
| 7362s | temporarily disable the mining the the |
| 7365s | mining |
| 7366s | interaction uh piece because we weren't |
| 7369s | really we we pushed out some of it it to |
| 7372s | 10.1 10.2 play |
| 7375s | tests and it got a lot of feedback some |
| 7378s | positive some negative um but we weren't |
| 7382s | really happy with it |
| 7383s | ourselves um which is why we disabled it |
| 7387s | temporarily so it will make a |
| 7390s | reappearance um but it won't do that |
| 7393s | until we're really happy with how it |
| 7395s | turns out |
| 7403s | because the goal isn't necessarily to |
| 7404s | limit |
| 7405s | players it's to allow a more interactive |
| 7413s | experience um and part of that is also |
| 7415s | kind of why we have you know 3D |
| 7417s | interactions for the food consumption |
| 7420s | and things like that as well it's just a |
| 7423s | layer of Polish to turn Eco into a more |
| 7425s | finished |
| 7430s | product um there's also |
| 7433s | from a balance perspective in terms of |
| 7435s | early on resource acquisition there's |
| 7437s | also |
| 7439s | a a drive to if uh kind of a drive to |
| 7444s | make things |
| 7446s | feel like they're improving over the |
| 7448s | stages of tech progression so if if |
| 7452s | harvesting has zero |
| 7456s | interaction um penalties or you know |
| 7458s | speed reductions and so on |
| 7462s | then it's taking away a lot of the big |
| 7467s | points that building the infrastructure |
| 7470s | for being able to do like larger scale |
| 7472s | farming with u the steam tractor for |
| 7475s | example um would give you if you can |
| 7478s | just handp pick to in the same speed as |
| 7481s | the tractor then why bother with the |
| 7483s | tractor the alternative is we'd have to |
| 7485s | make the tractor so fast it outpaces the |
| 7488s | handpicking that that wouldn't have an |
| 7490s | animation in that case |
| 7493s | um so there are some concessions that |
| 7495s | had to be made in terms of where like |
| 7499s | what the intention is with the |
| 7502s | thing and how it fits in with the |
| 7506s | general progression of the game because |
| 7508s | we do want the interaction later on to |
| 7511s | be better than the one you start |
| 7513s | with |
| 7515s | um which is why you have certain tools |
| 7518s | that just massively improves it um and I |
| 7522s | know logging is is struggling a bit with |
| 7524s | that late game for larger |
| 7526s | scale uh deforestation and then Forest |
| 7531s | reactions um but mining is a good |
| 7533s | example |
| 7534s | on why we were starting to look into |
| 7539s | improving that mid game range with |
| 7541s | explosives and attachments for the steam |
| 7544s | track to kind of deal with uh earlier |
| 7546s | terraforming at a larger scale earlier |
| 7549s | on instead of just pickaxe pickaxe |
| 7551s | pickaxe pickaxe skid steer |
| 7556s | bam so from our perspective we wanted to |
| 7559s | really introduce something um in the |
| 7562s | middle range that fit with the theme of |
| 7565s | getting that |
| 7566s | mechanized era going |
| 7570s | um and that's why the steam tractor was |
| 7572s | introduced as well for the farming part |
| 7574s | of it |
| 7577s | um we will probably look at something |
| 7580s | like modernes |
| 7583s | um later |
| 7586s | on um to deal with even you know even |
| 7588s | bigger |
| 7591s | things um just need the skid steer to |
| 7594s | take an attachment through logging or |
| 7595s | the excavator yeah so we do want to do |
| 7598s | something with uh both the excavator and |
| 7601s | the skid steer in that regard we want to |
| 7603s | kind of transform them into |
| 7605s | being |
| 7609s | um having the same kind of modularity as |
| 7612s | steam tractor |
| 7613s | does but it's also a lot of work to |
| 7615s | rewrite those and re kind of rejig them |
| 7618s | to be working in the same capacity |
| 7620s | because it is very old |
| 7622s | assets |
| 7624s | um and they're kind of set up in a way |
| 7627s | that isn't cleanly able to just rip it |
| 7630s | out so it's going to take time for |
| 7633s | someone to kind of dig into it and and |
| 7635s | shop |
| 7636s | around but it's definitely something |
| 7638s | that we want to do with |
| 7640s | it um |
| 7642s | but it's it's once again you know it |
| 7644s | takes time um certain things gets |
| 7647s | prioritized ahead of that |
| 7651s | um some things may not make sense to be |
| 7654s | prioritizing in some ways but it's also |
| 7658s | um that's mainly derived from the PE |
| 7660s | from the fact that we have different |
| 7661s | people working on front end things |
| 7663s | versus backend things um so are people |
| 7667s | working on database handling |
| 7669s | improvements and and uh General game |
| 7672s | optimizations and so on is not the |
| 7675s | people that would be working on say |
| 7676s | implementing a new |
| 7678s | vehicle as it's as it's two very |
| 7681s | distinct different skill |
| 7683s | sets um even if it's you know this it's |
| 7686s | the same code um it's the same project |
| 7689s | it's all in C and and you |
| 7691s | know um the developers are working in |
| 7694s | the same code |
| 7696s | structure uh but they are distinct |
| 7698s | different pieces of the code |
| 7702s | and the same thing with we don't want |
| 7703s | our front front end developers to be |
| 7705s | working on backend optimizations because |
| 7708s | it is a lot more technical it's a lot |
| 7710s | more heavy |
| 7711s | duty um and a different skill set same |
| 7713s | way as ui/ux is its own massive |
| 7719s | Beast um and that's why you might see |
| 7722s | like hey this feature is being done |
| 7726s | um and and go like hey why aren't you |
| 7728s | working on fixing optimization why are |
| 7730s | you adding this painting |
| 7732s | um and that's mainly drived due to the |
| 7735s | fact that we still want to keep |
| 7737s | improving and fleshing out and and |
| 7740s | adding content that makes |
| 7743s | sense um especially when it can be |
| 7746s | done without impacting or delaying the |
| 7750s | work on another |
| 7752s | area and it just makes sense to |
| 7756s | add |
| 7760s | um which is always hard to convey |
| 7766s | um |
| 7768s | but as with any general profession or |
| 7772s | any people in general people are going |
| 7773s | to have different skill |
| 7778s | set can this camera movement be added as |
| 7781s | AFK |
| 7783s | screen yeah maybe if it if it was |
| 7785s | slightly slightly |
| 7787s | smoother um I do get some some some |
| 7790s | stuttery things and also getting Dennis |
| 7793s | was talking about the the the tree |
| 7795s | rockets in the |
| 7796s | background um seems to be like a loading |
| 7800s | issue when the chunk renders in so |
| 7801s | that'll be something I'll have to take a |
| 7803s | look |
| 7809s | at but yeah we're coming along here um |
| 7813s | think it's taking a little bit longer |
| 7815s | than what they anticipated and kind of |
| 7819s | coming up on two hours here um |
| 7823s | we'll see if they get done during the |
| 7825s | night maybe we can maybe we can Jank |
| 7827s | someone |
| 7829s | in |
| 7836s | uh who do we have in charge of this |
| 7838s | whole thing that is online and whatnot |
| 7842s | maybe we can sneak one of the GMS in |
| 7863s | pop back in um yeah |
| 7883s | yeah the the record camera is quite nice |
| 7885s | um I haven't hidden the UI because I |
| 7887s | still want to kind of keep track on the |
| 7888s | map and see where where I am switching |
| 7891s | in in between the UI and not is |
| 7899s | uh just |
| 7902s | tedious I'm not the person for that |
| 7909s | oh poor pirate bug being single |
| 7912s | out all the GMS runs away as soon as as |
| 7916s | soon as like hey is anyone wanting to |
| 7919s | pop in on stream and talk a little bit |
| 7921s | about the speedrun in its entirety and |
| 7924s | and kind of the 10.0 challenges |
| 7928s | and anything and |
| 7933s | everything he's also less sleep deprived |
| 7936s | than than the you us |
| 7939s | others uh |
| 7945s | yeah let's hop just hop in |
| 7965s | here we do have a guest manag to coax |
| 7968s | one in here hey Williams hello oh hang |
| 7971s | on hang on hang on hang on hang on we |
| 7972s | have the discord's on the speakers they |
| 7975s | should be on headphones so you you can |
| 7978s | be heard as |
| 7981s | [Music] |
| 7984s | well is that working that should be |
| 7988s | working let's try it now |
| 7992s | hello think that is should be working it |
| 7995s | looks like it's working |
| 8000s | awesome uh just remembered would it be |
| 8002s | an idea to create an earlier version of |
| 8004s | The Brick canals um possibly |
| 8007s | um maybe I can I can I can talk to Toby |
| 8010s | about whether or not we want to do that |
| 8013s | um since the functionality for Block |
| 8017s | forms to be acting as a canal is just a |
| 8021s | water a watertight attribute that gets |
| 8023s | added to the specific block form |
| 8025s | so uh I can I can check in with him if |
| 8028s | we we want to apply that to uh something |
| 8032s | anyway yeah hey welcome craziness this |
| 8036s | this is this |
| 8038s | is um progressing quite nicely I see we |
| 8041s | we ran into some issues earlier but the |
| 8044s | tree of death thing seems to not be |
| 8047s | completely killing the |
| 8049s | server yeah no it's uh it's been good |
| 8052s | we've been making slower progress than |
| 8054s | we'd hoped but uh we've been making |
| 8057s | consistent progress I'd say which is the |
| 8060s | the goal |
| 8063s | yeah it's it's been looking pretty nice |
| 8065s | and um anyone on stream if let me know |
| 8069s | if the audio levels are wonky up and |
| 8071s | down |
| 8073s | um give a shout if they're off uh is |
| 8078s | white cheah new familiar with white |
| 8079s | tiger uh it is a speedrun event server |
| 8083s | that is running on during the weekend |
| 8085s | here so they had the start meteor is 72 |
| 8088s | hours and we are |
| 8093s | what are we 26 hours in 25 or and a half |
| 8096s | something yeah we uh depends how you |
| 8100s | count |
| 8100s | crashes oh just just PL in game time I |
| 8104s | think yeah yeah we're about 25 26 |
| 8111s | hours it speed running in in Eco is an |
| 8115s | interesting concept |
| 8117s | um love the effort and love the energy |
| 8120s | everyone is having um |
| 8122s | but it is a A peculiar area of um |
| 8127s | investment |
| 8129s | yeah yeah the game is definitely not |
| 8131s | designed to be speedrun so it's a it's a |
| 8133s | unique challenge to uh to try and get |
| 8135s | around some of the the game balancing |
| 8138s | that's that's gone into |
| 8142s | Eco especially with all the the recent |
| 8145s | changes since the last time we did it |
| 8148s | yeah the 10.0 versus 9 are you feeling |
| 8151s | that like it seems like you're running |
| 8153s | it faster but is that just because |
| 8157s | of um smoother setup or is it just crazy |
| 8162s | time investment going on right now um I |
| 8165s | mean it's it's just a completely |
| 8168s | different pacing um mostly because of |
| 8171s | the way the upgrade modules work so I |
| 8174s | feel like uh last time we did this it |
| 8177s | was a lot of waiting for levels to get |
| 8179s | hit um for each of the different upgrade |
| 8182s | modules to to go and so I feel like |
| 8185s | there was a lot more just kind of |
| 8188s | standing around waiting or you know we'd |
| 8189s | be preparing for the next skill but it |
| 8191s | was a lot of locked |
| 8194s | progression right uh this time around it |
| 8196s | seems like we're always having multiple |
| 8199s | things going on at the same time so it |
| 8201s | feels you know more productive that way |
| 8203s | but at the same time there's a lot more |
| 8205s | that goes into each thing and |
| 8207s | so uh you know it's it's taking a little |
| 8211s | bit longer even though we're doing more |
| 8216s | things oh yeah and yeah don't nor points |
| 8219s | out that don't forget the later start |
| 8220s | time for the EU uh for for the US yeah |
| 8223s | you started at 6:00 p.m. which was a |
| 8226s | better better U time we started three |
| 8229s | hours later than the last time we did |
| 8232s | this and uh sleep schedules has |
| 8235s | definitely factored into this this |
| 8237s | run uh quite a bit more than than last |
| 8240s | time um um we uh the the early game um |
| 8246s | takes a little bit more to get |
| 8249s | going um because there's a lot more |
| 8252s | skills that are needed um last time we |
| 8255s | didn't even really touch you know |
| 8257s | farming Gathering Milling fertilizers |
| 8260s | like those types of things um so having |
| 8264s | those going into the early game means |
| 8265s | it's a little bit lower paced at the |
| 8268s | beginning um and then faster paced kind |
| 8270s | of later on I think um but because of |
| 8273s | that that shifted a lot of the time |
| 8275s | where we needed to actually have a lot |
| 8277s | of people online into the the spot where |
| 8279s | a lot of people were sleeping I |
| 8281s | think |
| 8283s | right so all in all a generally more in |
| 8286s | skill inclusive speedrun in compared to |
| 8289s | previous |
| 8290s | ones oh yeah yeah there's been way more |
| 8293s | times this time around where we have to |
| 8295s | interact with other groups I feel like |
| 8298s | last time we kind of had each you know |
| 8300s | we have Wood Group rock group food group |
| 8303s | um Tech group and kind of each of those |
| 8305s | groups kind of did their own thing for |
| 8307s | the most part um this time around |
| 8311s | there's way more interactions between |
| 8313s | the different groups um because of just |
| 8316s | the different skills that feed into each |
| 8319s | other |
| 8322s | um which has definitely added to the the |
| 8328s | challenge catfish I have stabbed no one |
| 8331s | yet the the |
| 8333s | ongoing ongoing gag with with her her |
| 8337s | and and white |
| 8339s | tiger |
| 8341s | yeah uh let see housing housing really |
| 8344s | got bumped up here |
| 8347s | um the yeah we uh we started off not |
| 8351s | really having much housing because uh |
| 8354s | you know as we said it was a lot more |
| 8355s | level gated the first time yeah uh we |
| 8359s | did the Run whereas uh a lot of the |
| 8360s | early game skills here don't need levels |
| 8363s | to to kind of reach the next progression |
| 8366s | level so housing wasn't as mandatory so |
| 8369s | we kind of waited to where leveling was |
| 8372s | a lot more important um and just made |
| 8375s | higher tier housing once we got to that |
| 8377s | point yeah I I talked about it a little |
| 8380s | bit just prior here |
| 8382s | with um kind of experience required for |
| 8385s | the early on skills is just |
| 8388s | so low compared to the later Tech skills |
| 8394s | um and it's probably something that will |
| 8396s | change um just to kind of smoothen out |
| 8400s | when you unlock things or or the |
| 8402s | general you know you lack a thing to |
| 8404s | look forward to and kind of a miniature |
| 8408s | goal of your profession to kind of reach |
| 8410s | the next stage and that it feels like it |
| 8413s | takes away a lot of the |
| 8415s | um the initiative to keep going and keep |
| 8418s | playing in a way |
| 8423s | yeah yeah I definitely feel like there's |
| 8426s | I've been on some other servers where um |
| 8431s | if you have enough stars um to spend |
| 8434s | it's really easy to get a couple |
| 8436s | different skills at the start and kind |
| 8437s | of get ahead of other people um because |
| 8440s | it's just so easy to unlock the skills |
| 8443s | early on |
| 8445s | yeah it's also it that has been a very |
| 8449s | very tricky thing for me on balance side |
| 8451s | things like some some were pointing out |
| 8453s | with hey you know why why is the clay |
| 8455s | molds not being made by |
| 8458s | Potter um and the issue boils down into |
| 8462s | it's very hard it's very easy to |
| 8463s | granulate the skills and make them cross |
| 8465s | over into different ones but it's harder |
| 8468s | to do that when you need like |
| 8472s | intermediary ingredients that would make |
| 8474s | sense in them is also would also make |
| 8478s | sense to be made by a later profession |
| 8481s | which yeah which then runs into the |
| 8483s | circle of like why is this not doing XYZ |
| 8487s | well then that would have to be like a |
| 8489s | tier one profession and then suddenly |
| 8491s | you have 75% of the professions in tier |
| 8493s | one because you need to have access to |
| 8495s | all of them immediately because of |
| 8496s | intermediary |
| 8498s | requirements yeah yeah I actually like |
| 8501s | the the Gathering getting that you know |
| 8504s | the the craft that you get |
| 8506s | that's yeah how how needed term the I |
| 8510s | did some some minor mold changes just |
| 8513s | prior to it you got the the 10.22 update |
| 8517s | just prior to the speedrun start |
| 8522s | um I I feel like the molds have actually |
| 8525s | felt really good um we've had we had |
| 8530s | a we had more gatherers than most other |
| 8534s | professions just because it was so |
| 8537s | important to us to to have that |
| 8538s | Gathering perk on getting as many crops |
| 8541s | as we could out of the world so it's |
| 8543s | really easy for us to to have a gatherer |
| 8545s | go and and cue things up I think um and |
| 8550s | and uh you know being in the jungle we |
| 8552s | get clay really easily so um I think it |
| 8555s | it's been pretty easy for us to stay on |
| 8558s | top of the molds um and you know |
| 8562s | gives give something |
| 8565s | for for the gatherers and and Potters to |
| 8568s | do yeah it's keeping them engaged |
| 8570s | throughout so they just don't get |
| 8572s | neglected halfway through because the |
| 8574s | food the the food bins are all filled |
| 8576s | and they no longer have have a sensible |
| 8578s | place to do things |
| 8583s | yeah that Jagger is still still roaming |
| 8586s | around there just making sure no no |
| 8589s | squaders shows up I |
| 8592s | guess yeah we've uh We've definitely had |
| 8594s | people poking around that uh aren't in |
| 8597s | voice chat that |
| 8599s | uh um we I mean we've had a couple |
| 8602s | people that have been super helpful |
| 8603s | engaged you know helping quite a bit |
| 8606s | taking key skills and stuff and then um |
| 8609s | we have had some people though that come |
| 8610s | in and start poking around for things |
| 8613s | that we had planned to be used in other |
| 8616s | places and so we've kind of had to adapt |
| 8619s | with |
| 8620s | that yeah that that that has been a very |
| 8623s | interesting approach as well for for the |
| 8625s | general speedruns is um anyone anyone |
| 8628s | generally uh not aware of it so white |
| 8631s | cheetah is um a speedrun event server |
| 8635s | but in normal cases of you know explicit |
| 8638s | speedruns and and so on they tend to be |
| 8641s | very very hard lined in what's been |
| 8644s | crafted what times in what quantities |
| 8646s | and and so on so forth um as well as the |
| 8649s | general people that are involved in it |
| 8652s | and every everyone's kind of accounted |
| 8654s | for and so on but this server is |
| 8656s | completely open to the public so anyone |
| 8659s | can join in and help out if they |
| 8661s | want |
| 8664s | um but do if if if you do hop in be |
| 8668s | mindful |
| 8669s | of you know nabbing a full stack of |
| 8672s | something that you might not be |
| 8675s | purposely have access to um and then |
| 8678s | absorbed into something completely |
| 8679s | different than what it was intended for |
| 8681s | specifically like critical research |
| 8683s | stuff is just very exposed in that |
| 8685s | manner |
| 8688s | um but it's it's open for everyone |
| 8692s | really which is which is actually really |
| 8695s | helpful I mean |
| 8696s | having so many people makes a lot of |
| 8699s | things really a lot easier that you know |
| 8702s | if you only had a dozen of your friends |
| 8704s | would take so much longer to try and get |
| 8707s | anything done you know even if you had |
| 8708s | more control on the situation you just |
| 8710s | don't have enough |
| 8712s | manpower yeah and that's what I was |
| 8715s | talking about in the beginning where |
| 8718s | looking at the metrics for the play test |
| 8719s | and seeing like hey |
| 8721s | you completed it within you know 32 |
| 8724s | hours um so that's that's definitely Too |
| 8727s | Short let's just multiply all the |
| 8728s | consumption requirements but like 10 |
| 8730s | times because it's supposed to take you |
| 8732s | know a week um which would be a very |
| 8735s | unfair metric to use because you need to |
| 8738s | look at the the complete set of hours |
| 8741s | spent by individual players to get the |
| 8743s | fulltime span for |
| 8745s | it yeah and and having I'll be |
| 8747s | interested to to see the the final play |
| 8750s | time cuz it it almost feels to me like |
| 8753s | we've had less people this time than |
| 8755s | last time but that might just be because |
| 8757s | we're spread more thin between the |
| 8760s | different professions and and you feel |
| 8763s | that a little bit more |
| 8765s | yeah um definitely you know we |
| 8770s | all uh we'll post stuff surrounding it |
| 8773s | when it gets uh when it's completed and |
| 8777s | I might compile a little bit on on date |
| 8781s | on my end um for stuff in particular |
| 8784s | like housing uh time length and and play |
| 8786s | time and so on to |
| 8788s | see kind of where where things happen |
| 8790s | and in which order um so that'll be fun |
| 8795s | and like I said this is this this whole |
| 8797s | thing is just super helpful for everyone |
| 8799s | involved and you even managed to find |
| 8801s | critical breaking bugs in the process as |
| 8803s | well that seem to have escaped everyone |
| 8804s | else |
| 8805s | so uh yeah super good job on that |
| 8812s | yeah it's definitely interesting to see |
| 8814s | what uh what we didn't think was going |
| 8817s | to be challenges that were and uh things |
| 8820s | that we thought might be challenges that |
| 8821s | weren't |
| 8822s | so um hopefully that kind of feedback is |
| 8827s | uh is helpful absolutely um and like I |
| 8831s | said when when compiling the play time |
| 8833s | Etc we can also kind of dive dive into |
| 8837s | like how much time it was played by |
| 8839s | certain professions as well oh yeah and |
| 8842s | and know wit fan points out Huckleberry |
| 8844s | extracts being the hard limit um for the |
| 8847s | advanced upgrades I guess |
| 8851s | yeah yeah that was that that was a |
| 8855s | um which part is the the fertilizer |
| 8858s | papers yeah the fertilizer papers are |
| 8861s | far in away the |
| 8863s | most uh involved paper um just they pull |
| 8868s | so many things and the 200 crops it used |
| 8872s | to be pretty easy to get 200 crops I |
| 8875s | think and then just with uh when you're |
| 8878s | trying to speedrun something yeah you |
| 8880s | don't have the time and luxury to farm |
| 8882s | plant yeah you you can't scale up |
| 8886s | um crops and so um try yeah trying to |
| 8891s | get the the Huckleberry extract for the |
| 8892s | fertilizers trying to get um we thought |
| 8895s | that maybe the the pelts or the leather |
| 8897s | could be an issue if we didn't have |
| 8899s | enough people hunting early on but that |
| 8901s | didn't that wasn't an issue at all um so |
| 8904s | it's mostly just getting the crops and |
| 8907s | getting the the Huckleberry |
| 8909s | extract um there's still quite a lot of |
| 8912s | mushrooms um as well as a lot of |
| 8917s | uh Terror |
| 8919s | Roots yeah I think I think we uh we got |
| 8924s | most of the stuff close by and then it's |
| 8926s | just the the logistical issue of getting |
| 8930s | a bunch of uh the mushrooms or the the |
| 8934s | things that are further |
| 8935s | away I wasn't really part of the the |
| 8938s | Gathering so I don't know |
| 8940s | what exactly went into that but Arc with |
| 8945s | after this run I hope to never see a |
| 8947s | fish |
| 8950s | again uh yeah we were living off charred |
| 8953s | fish early on yeah no but it's been it's |
| 8958s | been an absolute pressure to Jesus k out |
| 8960s | Ro around and and take a peek and see |
| 8963s | where things are being done what's being |
| 8965s | used um the the window the excessive |
| 8969s | window use is |
| 8971s | definitely an interesting tactic |
| 8974s | um I'm not particularly fond of massive |
| 8979s | gapped houses just because just looks |
| 8982s | wonky um yeah we uh we definitely save |
| 8987s | on a lot of resources that way but then |
| 8988s | you also don't get lavish um but most of |
| 8992s | us aren't hitting level six anyways so |
| 8995s | we're really too concerned with lavish a |
| 8998s | Nerf coming um on on that topic the the |
| 9001s | general there is a plan and it'll happen |
| 9004s | eventually um so for servers that are |
| 9008s | interested in |
| 9009s | it um uh some people have seen on white |
| 9013s | tiger for example we have a hard |
| 9014s | requirement of you cannot have any gaps |
| 9016s | in your building and that is a a simple |
| 9020s | server Boolean so a server true false |
| 9023s | statement in one of the configs I think |
| 9025s | it's the difficulty config I can't |
| 9026s | remember exactly where it is um but you |
| 9030s | can switch that around you can also |
| 9031s | specify how many blocks of building |
| 9035s | material allows you to place or or have |
| 9037s | a a gap in it so I think it's 10 blocks |
| 9040s | per Gap by default so for every 10 |
| 9045s | reinforced concrete for example in this |
| 9048s | house um allows you one extra window so |
| 9051s | if you have a house of 100 blocks You' |
| 9054s | have 10 free |
| 9056s | spacings um and the main reason we |
| 9060s | haven't turned that on by default is |
| 9063s | because we want uh it's mainly |
| 9066s | surrounding storefronts that's an issue |
| 9068s | uh but we may have we may have a |
| 9070s | solution coming for that in the future |
| 9071s | so that that might be uh might be |
| 9075s | something to need to take into |
| 9076s | consideration for the next run um |
| 9079s | because that might |
| 9081s | that might be that might have shifted |
| 9083s | until then yeah from a from more casual |
| 9086s | player I'm super excited to to see that |
| 9088s | type of change but definitely from the |
| 9090s | speedrun side of things makes everything |
| 9093s | a little bit more you need more |
| 9095s | materials for |
| 9098s | everything yeah the Decay and a lot of |
| 9100s | the other aspects are definitely going |
| 9102s | to throw some wrenches in the machinery |
| 9103s | for |
| 9105s | it oh |
| 9108s | yeah um because the the will scale off |
| 9111s | of usage I imagine and not just time |
| 9116s | yeah you run through stuff a lot quicker |
| 9119s | yes Decay have a few variables for it |
| 9122s | one being um time in use kind of thing |
| 9126s | so as as you're turn as you're turning |
| 9128s | away and and the Machinery is being used |
| 9130s | it'll constantly kind of eat at that |
| 9132s | durability |
| 9134s | part um but you also have a a dynamic |
| 9137s | component to it where uh we can specify |
| 9141s | y um if a recipe has a higher degree of |
| 9147s | consumption than just the base value so |
| 9149s | you could have certain pieces and |
| 9151s | certain parts that are costing more to |
| 9155s | kind of eating more of that durability |
| 9157s | part um when it's in use oh |
| 9160s | cool uh so there are some there are some |
| 9162s | scalable values in there that we can use |
| 9165s | um we're just trying to kind of look |
| 9167s | over how to best present that |
| 9169s | information to to the user and through |
| 9171s | the recipe list or like in the crafting |
| 9174s | order um yeah but that'll that'll |
| 9178s | definitely be interesting to see what |
| 9180s | what happens |
| 9181s | and a large part of that durability |
| 9184s | Decay and and everything is going to be |
| 9185s | coming in 10.3 as well |
| 9187s | so look forward to that um but |
| 9193s | yeah uh think I'm going to like two and |
| 9196s | a half hours now I think I'm going to |
| 9198s | start heading off um thank you so much |
| 9201s | for hopping in |
| 9203s | and uh gracing us and and kind of |

| 9208s | about how what when and |
| 9212s | uh so on yeah thanks for having me and |
| 9216s | thanks for all the the work you put into |
