| 0s | audio hello everyone and welcome to |
|---|---|
| 3s | another Friday evening |
| 6s | here at strange Loop games my guns |
| 9s | working as lead game designer here and |
| 12s | today we'll go over a little bit more on |
| 15s | Ultra as it's |
| 18s | still a little bit in depth towards the |
| 21s | adjacent areas of influence orders |
| 26s | impact and kind of |
| 29s | the gauged game implication it will have |
| 33s | and |
| 35s | hoping that everyone will enjoy it and |
| 37s | if you have any questions just popping |
| 39s | them in chat and I'll answer them as we |
| 41s | go through and as you can see I am once |
| 45s | again |
| 47s | unsupervised we were gonna have Toby |
| 50s | here but unfortunately and got a bit |
| 52s | preoccupied and couldn't participate so |
| 55s | we'll see if we get him into a future |
| 57s | stream |
| 58s | with that |
| 60s | Australian charm of his |
| 63s | uh so I think we can just go straight |
| 67s | ahead and |
| 69s | flip over to some gameplay footage here |
| 74s | oh yeah true when I have done is |
| 76s | speaking tabs on the chat |
| 78s | helping out with some moderation there |
| 80s | as well |
| 82s | if we just do that and we can transition |
| 84s | into some gameplay footage just right |
| 88s | off the bat |
| 90s | uh flip over the time so we can see |
| 93s | something |
| 96s | so |
| 97s | we went over culture a bit about how you |
| 100s | acquire culture and how you |
| 103s | and a deal with it in terms of adding it |
| 105s | as another type of property layer we had |
| 109s | some difficulties really showing it off |
| 112s | correctly due to |
| 115s | claims didn't really want to change out |
| 117s | property type so that has been fixed on |
| 120s | staging so now we can add more cultural |
| 122s | properties and kind of give this more of |
| 124s | a go through |
| 126s | I think there's nothing really to it |
| 129s | other than just kind of going at it |
| 133s | so |
| 135s | from the world map here I set up two |
| 138s | towns and two different nations or |
| 141s | countries |
| 142s | and they are as you can see quite |
| 144s | substantially different in scale and |
| 147s | size |
| 148s | and the reason for this is their |
| 150s | cultural impact and the value they've |
| 152s | acquired is completely different towards |
| 154s | one another and that's why you can see |
| 156s | the big one is starting to eat |
| 159s | um |
| 160s | we kind of clash into and and envelop |
| 163s | the middle here |
| 166s | so |
| 167s | we have grand otoria which is the pink |
| 170s | slash white one and then we have |
| 172s | concrete land which is the white one |
| 177s | and if we go into the towns you can see |
| 179s | that each of these have one of one one |
| 181s | of their own separate towns and they are |
| 183s | fairly similar in scale and one of that |
| 187s | one of the reasons for that is that |
| 189s | there's Christ solely by |
| 192s | a singular claim |
| 194s | and |
| 196s | this claim is is then uh limited to |
| 202s | being the soft cap to the materials of |
| 204s | the room |
| 205s | both of these are kind of equal in in |
| 208s | terms of their strengths I mean counts |
| 210s | in Ultra |
| 212s | and that is a little bit about what will |
| 215s | make sure that people have a good grasp |
| 217s | on why it's important how it's done and |
| 220s | also the kind of settings that you're |
| 223s | really kind of |
| 225s | in depth to tweaking out the um the |
| 228s | server settings to make sure that you |
| 230s | get the size appropriation that you want |
| 232s | to have where talents can scale up to a |
| 235s | certain width and |
| 237s | our culture kind of passes from a town |
| 240s | to a country to a federation and then |
| 244s | moving through kind of the ecos |
| 250s | so if we have where we want to start |
| 253s | here |
| 255s | go through |
| 257s | go through the process straight from |
| 261s | from left here we have the small |
| 265s | alterville we formed here with |
| 269s | a few other objects here and as well |
| 271s | that are properly working as well that |
| 274s | is kind of go over |
| 276s | the camera is still a little bit |
| 279s | inaccurate |
| 281s | um it does have it still has some minor |
| 284s | issues which is |
| 287s | on this one here |
| 290s | so if you are on staging we are aware |
| 292s | that it's not working a hundred percent |
| 296s | and hopefully we get the fix fairly |
| 298s | shortly for this if you have some images |
| 302s | and they'll contribute to culture based |
| 305s | on |
| 309s | this |
| 315s | here so inside the picture frames |
| 319s | you have the rate picture |
| 321s | that is allowing you to give reputation |
| 324s | to your picture and this will pass into |
| 331s | this little pass into by the reputation |
| 335s | for the artist so this is the person who |
| 338s | uploaded the texture or who took the |
| 340s | picture and then generated the game |
| 342s | object itself |
| 344s | as this is its own kind of thing and it |
| 347s | retains its information so this can be |
| 349s | sold and kind of passed over to another |
| 351s | town and so on so forth |
| 353s | and we went over a little bit on the |
| 355s | other stream for this |
| 356s | but here we have it actually working |
| 358s | properly now |
| 359s | so this gives you a value of culture and |
| 363s | this is these values are something that |
| 365s | we are looking into |
| 367s | making sure that they fit towards the |
| 369s | scale of |
| 372s | and I'm making sure that it builds the |
| 374s | correct size and it builds to the |
| 377s | turns a radius so you have |
| 379s | a good impact on your pictures so you |
| 382s | don't need to have a whole bunch of them |
| 383s | versus |
| 387s | some craftable objects that contains |
| 389s | culture value and then and offset this |
| 393s | to give sort of a competitiveness but |
| 395s | still allows people to have |
| 397s | a good player impact |
| 400s | but they are hampered when you place |
| 402s | them in your own settlement |
| 405s | which means you can't just have a group |
| 407s | that belongs to the same town and then |
| 409s | they just give each other a whole bunch |
| 411s | of reputation and then it kind of scales |
| 413s | up but if you're contained within the |
| 416s | settle the same settlement hierarchy you |
| 418s | will get penalties for |
| 420s | making pictures and adding reputations |
| 422s | to these sort of In-House if you will |
| 428s | and with the culture added here this |
| 431s | will work similar to a regular housing |
| 434s | object so |
| 436s | as you can see here we're getting 1.37 |
| 438s | from this one and then we're getting |
| 440s | 2.04 from this one and then we're |
| 441s | getting 20 from the foundation it's |
| 444s | being soft capped because of the room |
| 445s | material and this kind of builds into |
| 448s | it's really really critical for your |
| 451s | towns and |
| 454s | um the foundations in particular but |
| 457s | also the adjacent |
| 459s | ruptures of cultural types where you |
| 461s | really want to make sure that you keep |
| 463s | upgrading the housing value by making |
| 466s | sure that you replace the material the |
| 468s | house is made out of because they will |
| 470s | soft cap |
| 472s | um |
| 473s | going through tier 234 making sure you |
| 475s | get that Dash learning composite or flat |
| 477s | steel or |
| 479s | you know whatever whatever really it's |
| 481s | the aesthetic of your town if you have |
| 484s | any kind of restrictions so on |
| 488s | so that's just a quick summary of |
| 490s | where culture kind of comes from and |
| 493s | this is summarized into |
| 497s | do this we have a whole bunch of |
| 500s | information and then the |
| 502s | tooltip description for the different |
| 504s | settlement tiers we have how much or how |
| 507s | many actual plots are contained within |
| 509s | its influence sphere |
| 511s | we have the total culture the settlement |
| 513s | is comprised of as well as the actual |
| 516s | plots that are claimed |
| 519s | and then we have of course how many |
| 520s | settlement how many citizens it has if |
| 523s | if it has uh if the the leader position |
| 526s | in this town is held by someone |
| 529s | and of course it's treasury as all towns |
| 532s | has their own treasury right now |
| 536s | um and the influence sources for this |
| 539s | settlement so this is where it will list |
| 541s | if you have multiple cultural properties |
| 544s | on the deed and that's |
| 547s | go over here as well I think we might do |
| 548s | that on on the next year up just because |
| 550s | I have it set up already |
| 553s | I asked a question popped in here with |
| 555s | can you see the towns and countries on |
| 557s | the map at the same times you can see |
| 559s | which town belongs to which country |
| 562s | at the moment they are just kind of |
| 565s | merging in because this is only showing |
| 567s | you the actual influence of the town |
| 571s | or its appropriate settlement here so in |
| 574s | this case we have towns selected then |
| 576s | this is the border and |
| 579s | the influence range of this town so any |
| 582s | law that is created in here is only |
| 584s | going to be affected inside this area |
| 588s | and distance scales to countries as well |
| 591s | so if I select countries you'll see that |
| 594s | it it joins up with |
| 596s | the other one because this is belonging |
| 599s | to that town where this town is |
| 601s | belonging to that country |
| 604s | um which then extends its influence over |
| 606s | that area |
| 607s | so you don't really at the settlement |
| 610s | levels you don't really have a clear |
| 612s | distinction as to what is a town and |
| 614s | what is the country in regards to most |
| 617s | aspects of this |
| 619s | as Town laws are only affecting towns |
| 623s | themselves and Country laws are |
| 625s | affecting the whole country regardless |
| 626s | if you're a town or not so |
| 629s | um |
| 630s | if there is |
| 633s | a sort of a big interest in terms of |
| 637s | being able to |
| 639s | discern |
| 641s | what or sort of what towns are |
| 644s | comprising inside this or see like a |
| 646s | small border Gap in here |
| 649s | um |
| 650s | something we might look at but |
| 653s | it is also kind of complicated because |
| 655s | of the fact that this is basic influence |
| 657s | and not really |
| 659s | there's no there's no real other thing |
| 662s | revolving |
| 665s | um |
| 666s | how to depict importers if you will |
| 668s | because in a in a country there is no |
| 670s | Town borders if that makes sense |
| 673s | um |
| 674s | from the country's perspective a country |
| 676s | will will be comprised of whatever is |
| 678s | below it regardless if it's a homestead |
| 681s | or if it's a town or or whatnot it's |
| 683s | just |
| 684s | um it'll just apply anything that is |
| 686s | affecting it |
| 688s | and on the cultural acquisition we have |
| 692s | he |
| 698s | it is working |
| 699s | um so here we have the grand Oriole |
| 705s | and here we have some new information |
| 706s | here where you are seeing that we are |
| 709s | getting an infinite source of the |
| 711s | authorville foundation deed so this is |
| 713s | listing the source that is coming from |
| 715s | the town and I'm holding control now and |
| 717s | that's why it's kind of Shifting in |
| 719s | between these puddles |
| 722s | um |
| 724s | you have the foundation deed for the |
| 726s | authorville which is adding influence |
| 729s | and adding |
| 730s | um adding both culture and adding both |
| 732s | influence to the nation |
| 734s | we've got the foundation deed itself for |
| 737s | the country and then we have a deed that |
| 739s | I claimed |
| 741s | just on top of it |
| 743s | and as you can see you're only getting a |
| 745s | little bit here because the foundations |
| 747s | themselves are inherently fairly |
| 749s | powerful just to make sure that they're |
| 751s | always generating a decent amount of |
| 754s | radius to be able to kind of cover the |
| 757s | initial homesteads and allowing you to |
| 760s | get started off grow inside of things |
| 765s | and so we're here so something that we |
| 768s | failed to do last time but it is working |
| 770s | now inside |
| 773s | a claim |
| 775s | by going through the actual deed of it I |
| 778s | can switch over from a residential as |
| 780s | you can see it is no longer a cultural |
| 782s | property it all the points it was giving |
| 785s | and got removed |
| 786s | if I switched switch this over the |
| 789s | culture |
| 790s | it gives me a total of 1.5 |
| 794s | and that is because I have a decorative |
| 797s | anchor which is giving no points at the |
| 799s | moment |
| 800s | but if I do this and I have some tests |
| 803s | up if instead I've been playing around |
| 805s | with |
| 816s | and then we just drop down a cube here |
| 818s | that is behaving like a cultural object |
| 821s | so in this case it is giving me an |
| 823s | varnish value |
| 826s | and |
| 830s | there I think it's slightly limited here |
| 833s | you can see that |
| 837s | uh |
| 838s | the first deed is now giving us a whole |
| 841s | lot more influence radius |
| 843s | and it grew outwards |
| 849s | and it also gave us a lot more culture |
| 856s | don't really have a super clean way of |
| 859s | doing this at the moment |
| 863s | thank me |
| 868s | so here you have inside the government |
| 870s | tab |
| 872s | you can see the different structure and |
| 874s | how they relate and this is something |
| 875s | that's being reworked at the moment so |
| 878s | this will look a bit differently |
| 881s | as well as the annexation and everything |
| 882s | that will go over in a later stream |
| 886s | and here you can see the total tally of |
| 888s | culture and different cultures for these |
| 891s | things so here you can actually go in |
| 892s | and check |
| 894s | the |
| 896s | opposing Nations that might be super |
| 899s | close in Border and how they relate to |
| 901s | you and how many properties they have a |
| 903s | culture on and how their overall |
| 905s | influence is looking compared to yours |
| 909s | just as a |
| 911s | neat little way to kind of |
| 913s | fetch it |
| 916s | and as you can see here so why is this |
| 919s | country humongous compared to this |
| 921s | little one well |
| 924s | I swapped this out to do two things one |
| 927s | it has a second floor |
| 930s | um so |
| 931s | cultural properties work pretty much the |
| 934s | same way as housing |
| 935s | where you have cultural value that is |
| 938s | capped to the material of the room it is |
| 940s | capped to the different types of |
| 943s | Furnishings that you have in the room in |
| 945s | the the in the very much same way so if |
| 948s | you have multiple rooms on the same |
| 950s | property you'll be able to vastly |
| 952s | increase the cultural value of it |
| 955s | because each room only gives you a set |
| 958s | amount before you're starting to get |
| 959s | diminishing values |
| 961s | so you might have this amazing epic |
| 964s | painting that gives you a ton of points |
| 967s | but |
| 968s | it's only going to give you so many |
| 971s | points and you don't want to put in |
| 973s | another epic painting because you're |
| 974s | going to be exceeding the value |
| 976s | so many |
| 979s | um and if we give us another another one |
| 982s | here so in in this case here we've got a |
| 985s | test object that gives us 10 points and |
| 987s | we're already soft capped a little bit |
| 990s | so if we drop another one down here |
| 993s | and you can see if I just pick this up |
| 995s | again |
| 996s | might be a bit difficult to see on the |
| 997s | stream but you can see on the minimap |
| 1000s | that we are growing the Border when we |
| 1003s | are placing it |
| 1005s | and this is not a centrally growth |
| 1009s | existence so it's not constantly adding |
| 1012s | to the central point of the property it |
| 1015s | is adding to or to the town it is adding |
| 1018s | to the central property of the |
| 1021s | place that or the deed that you have the |
| 1024s | cultural building at so if you would |
| 1026s | build |
| 1028s | actually do that well |
| 1031s | as if you added a few more commands for |
| 1033s | admins to do this so I believe it's |
| 1038s | slash |
| 1040s | uh clean papers same Stakes |
| 1044s | slash add Lane takes |
| 1052s | that's supposed to be |
| 1065s | Billy doesn't want to let me do this |
| 1071s | was to just add claim Stakes |
| 1077s | [Music] |
| 1080s | really doesn't want to |
| 1086s | oh don't don't even start one soon don't |
| 1089s | don't give Nemo something else |
| 1091s | yeah it needs a settlement ID it's it |
| 1093s | was originally doing |
| 1096s | the um |
| 1098s | the command was initially proposed to be |
| 1102s | just point on |
| 1104s | yes it is complaining why am I not |
| 1107s | getting oh there we go |
| 1110s | oh yeah |
| 1112s | it is yeah it needs it needs decimal and |
| 1115s | then it needs the settlement so we need |
| 1117s | Grand |
| 1120s | did I call it |
| 1126s | mandatory that's what I was that that's |
| 1129s | what I called it |
| 1133s | here we go as you can see we also have |
| 1135s | an interesting little pop-up that says |
| 1137s | you know this might break stuff |
| 1143s | and that gives you |
| 1146s | um flame stakes and then we have one for |
| 1148s | claim papers that gets linked to the |
| 1149s | property so this is mainly an admin only |
| 1152s | use at your own risk kind of thing at |
| 1155s | the moment until we proved it a little |
| 1156s | bit |
| 1158s | now that I have a property claim that |
| 1161s | belongs to this deed as you can see I |
| 1163s | can only place it inside this border |
| 1165s | radius |
| 1166s | I drop it down over here |
| 1175s | Let's do an ashlar building just because |
| 1177s | we can here |
| 1186s | wants to let me |
| 1189s | not wanting to do that |
| 1191s | it's fine |
| 1195s | there we go |
| 1199s | now we're cooking |
| 1201s | replace this |
| 1203s | little guy outside |
| 1211s | rename it just to make sure that we have |
| 1213s | a |
| 1215s | good idea what's what we're doing I'm |
| 1217s | gonna name this ice |
| 1220s | board |
| 1222s | and now we can right click this and find |
| 1225s | it in my list of Deeds |
| 1227s | like that one |
| 1231s | or am I gonna be suffocating under the |
| 1233s | town issue we're currently having a |
| 1236s | slight issue with |
| 1238s | beads and being placed in countries that |
| 1242s | aren't really belonging to |
| 1244s | oh boy yeah there's there's a mishap |
| 1247s | there |
| 1251s | I |
| 1260s | uh some stuff isn't really working |
| 1262s | properly yet as you can see and this is |
| 1265s | why it's still |
| 1267s | not really available for a broader |
| 1270s | testing in terms of our public play test |
| 1276s | but we |
| 1280s | around here |
| 1282s | that you |
| 1287s | make sure that stuff doesn't explode |
| 1289s | completely |
| 1293s | did who knows |
| 1297s | this is belonging to |
| 1300s | all the area |
| 1304s | it might be so one of the reasons why |
| 1307s | things are misbehaving a little bit is |
| 1309s | that I've been using commands to kind of |
| 1310s | override requirements and override |
| 1312s | settings and drifting around |
| 1315s | myself |
| 1317s | that's probably why |
| 1318s | [Music] |
| 1323s | let's just do that |
| 1325s | yeah see I will still |
| 1329s | I will still part of the other claim |
| 1332s | which was in correctly allowing me to do |
| 1335s | things I wasn't supposed to do because |
| 1339s | using admin commands can give you a bit |
| 1341s | of unpredictive Behavior hence why |
| 1345s | always make sure when you're doing this |
| 1347s | that you're not doing it on a live |
| 1350s | server unless you're absolutely 100 sure |
| 1353s | that it won't break things |
| 1355s | in terms of just the general command |
| 1358s | used is good to have in your uh |
| 1364s | back in your head when you're doing |
| 1365s | things on a live server which is why I |
| 1367s | leave most of the very destructive |
| 1370s | command usage to uh |
| 1372s | one of our GMS |
| 1375s | they are |
| 1377s | a lot quicker on doing it at this point |
| 1380s | because I think I can transitioned over |
| 1382s | to to do more design things rather than |
| 1386s | direct gameplay elements |
| 1390s | just name it here |
| 1394s | and |
| 1397s | now we can claim properly |
| 1400s | it's giving me a bit of an error message |
| 1402s | that it's not |
| 1406s | not really 100 accurate but that is fine |
| 1408s | we got what we came for we have a |
| 1413s | bit of a house |
| 1418s | here we go |
| 1421s | now we can add some walls and we are |
| 1424s | adding a functionality to make sure that |
| 1427s | you can move these |
| 1429s | same Stakes which I've seen a few |
| 1433s | concerns and crop UPS about hey you know |
| 1436s | what if we can't what if we place our |
| 1439s | Foundation or base our flame stick in a |
| 1442s | really bad spot after we building and |
| 1445s | realize that oh this this this was a bad |
| 1447s | decision I want to move it but then when |
| 1450s | I try to move it |
| 1451s | it wants us to just rip out all of our |
| 1454s | property |
| 1456s | as we're you know we're picking it up |
| 1459s | and we're destroying the object |
| 1461s | so you will have a special keybind or |
| 1463s | moving it rather than picking it up or |
| 1466s | um |
| 1467s | rather from instead of picking it up |
| 1469s | straight up |
| 1470s | and that is something that we're also |
| 1472s | looking at |
| 1473s | expanding onto vehicles to kind of help |
| 1475s | out a bit in terms of |
| 1478s | you know you drive your cart off a |
| 1480s | bridge or |
| 1483s | you drove your car off a cliff |
| 1486s | instead of you having to kind of dump |
| 1488s | down a bunch of stockpiles and kind of |
| 1492s | teleport stuff out of the vehicle onto |
| 1494s | the ground and then picking up the |
| 1495s | vehicle and then placing it down again |
| 1497s | and refilling it |
| 1499s | so we're looking at adding something for |
| 1503s | making sure that you can kind of move |
| 1505s | things rather than destroying them |
| 1508s | so now we have a new property here why |
| 1511s | with a little bit of circumvention and a |
| 1513s | bit of inconvenience |
| 1516s | we can now switch over this to cultural |
| 1519s | property |
| 1520s | and it says that I can't |
| 1522s | because |
| 1524s | at the moment there are residents on it |
| 1526s | and this brings us to the question of |
| 1529s | a multi-room cultural building |
| 1533s | being a source of both housing value and |
| 1536s | cultural value yes and no yes you can |
| 1539s | just |
| 1540s | you know |
| 1541s | which in between if you have an amazing |
| 1543s | house and |
| 1545s | you build a completely different |
| 1547s | structure somewhere else and you want to |
| 1549s | move your your housing residential deed |
| 1552s | over there |
| 1553s | but you still want to have a use for |
| 1555s | this old property that you might not it |
| 1558s | could have a bunch of furniture it could |
| 1559s | have some decent |
| 1561s | housing value but you feel like you |
| 1564s | don't want to hassle with you know |
| 1565s | renting it out to other people or or so |
| 1567s | on so forth you could switch it over to |
| 1569s | a cultural property |
| 1571s | and as long as you are out of |
| 1574s | residency of it |
| 1577s | and switch this to cultural and then |
| 1580s | most Furniture types will amplify the |
| 1584s | value of a cultural property |
| 1588s | so if I add this here it'll turn into a |
| 1591s | cultural room and as you can see the |
| 1592s | borders expanded quite significantly up |
| 1595s | here |
| 1597s | or at least a good chunk and as you can |
| 1600s | see here now we have this here |
| 1602s | that added influence to it |
| 1606s | and |
| 1610s | and if we go into the tooltip of |
| 1612s | cultural value or a cultural property |
| 1614s | you can see that we're still gaining |
| 1615s | from seating decoration and lightning |
| 1618s | same as any other type of room so |
| 1621s | culture is a room category same as |
| 1624s | living room or or bathroom and so on so |
| 1627s | forth so you can add a bunch of |
| 1628s | supplementary furniture |
| 1630s | kind of amplify it |
| 1632s | to do |
| 1633s | Lumber bench |
| 1636s | and then we do |
| 1641s | label |
| 1650s | door lamp yeah format |
| 1655s | Irvine |
| 1656s | because they are modular |
| 1659s | place down |
| 1662s | so we add in as you can see here we have |
| 1666s | a cultural value of 10 |
| 1670s | do this and we add this in here |
| 1674s | people are gonna hate me because this is |
| 1675s | a tiny tiny room |
| 1683s | pretty nice there we go thank you |
| 1687s | and now you can see that it expanded |
| 1689s | quite significantly more because we |
| 1691s | added these additional Furniture types |
| 1694s | so now that we are seeing |
| 1698s | the value bumped up by the tables value |
| 1700s | the bench value up to seating support So |
| 1704s | seating support as |
| 1706s | as seen before is |
| 1708s | allows you to upgrade the value of the |
| 1711s | room up to 50 of the total value of the |
| 1715s | category score so in this case I could |
| 1717s | add seating value up to five since |
| 1720s | that's 50 of 10. |
| 1723s | as well as lighting lighting is up to 30 |
| 1726s | percent so I this is capped out if I |
| 1729s | added another lamp it would |
| 1732s | just |
| 1733s | diminish the value as it beats the 30 of |
| 1737s | the total value |
| 1740s | and ask the question for would a kitchen |
| 1743s | item help no as as you realized |
| 1746s | um kitchen all the kitchen type |
| 1748s | Furniture are a room category type and |
| 1751s | not a support Furniture so those would |
| 1753s | be a kitchen |
| 1755s | hence why they're not valid in a |
| 1757s | cultural property |
| 1760s | um so with that as you can see now we |
| 1762s | awesomely expanded this and kind of grew |
| 1765s | in this area and now |
| 1767s | uh |
| 1769s | do this |
| 1770s | now you can see that oh boy that was |
| 1773s | very uh very shiningly pink |
| 1777s | foreign |
| 1796s | this is the new |
| 1799s | the new um |
| 1802s | color shading we were planning on just |
| 1804s | turning the world pink and then just you |
| 1806s | know rolling with it |
| 1808s | see if anyone notices |
| 1812s | um but no on on a serious note though |
| 1815s | um so this is the influence range and |
| 1817s | inside this you could place new |
| 1820s | properties and you could add a cultural |
| 1821s | property over here and you can keep |
| 1823s | expanding it or you could beef up this |
| 1825s | house to have you know a bunch of |
| 1827s | different more rooms and quadruple the |
| 1831s | um |
| 1832s | quadruple the uh the radius of this by |
| 1835s | just adding more value to it it'll keep |
| 1837s | expanding |
| 1839s | and that's kind of how you grow and |
| 1840s | influence land and kind of push out the |
| 1842s | borders |
| 1845s | so how will this |
| 1847s | kind of Impact gameplay on a real level |
| 1851s | well |
| 1852s | the most obvious one is if you had a |
| 1855s | court |
| 1856s | your population inside this border is |
| 1858s | going to be voting on it |
| 1860s | and this means you have direct control |
| 1863s | and direct accessibility to make sure |
| 1865s | that |
| 1867s | as Farmers have been |
| 1869s | pointing out and been very concerned |
| 1871s | about in terms of property management |
| 1873s | and |
| 1875s | um |
| 1876s | terraforming for Farmland is usually one |
| 1879s | of the most expensive in terms of land |
| 1881s | ownership |
| 1883s | it comes in like a heavy industrial |
| 1884s | buildings can always be built in a |
| 1886s | fairly |
| 1888s | fairly dense populated area in some way |
| 1892s | or shape or form but Farmland does |
| 1894s | require specific biomes specific areas |
| 1898s | and |
| 1900s | owning large swaths of land to cover |
| 1903s | this and allowing them to build these |
| 1907s | big farms is gonna be more of a |
| 1909s | governmental property ownership |
| 1912s | and a relationship in between you can |
| 1915s | you can still absolutely do things like |
| 1920s | um adding a zoning desk for instance and |
| 1922s | adding a |
| 1924s | arming district and then only allow say |
| 1928s | Farmers to do things like |
| 1931s | um |
| 1933s | only allow gatherers of a certain level |
| 1936s | skill level to harvest this or only |
| 1939s | allow gatherers in this town to do it or |
| 1942s | even go so far as to the attacks and or |
| 1948s | um |
| 1949s | what's the opposite word of it |
| 1952s | help me out here |
| 1957s | total total blank here |
| 1959s | um |
| 1960s | paying people to speed |
| 1964s | um |
| 1964s | and so on to give more of a governmental |
| 1967s | impact on the food supply |
| 1970s | but this is also something that could be |
| 1972s | a case of you have a couple of people |
| 1974s | that are you know you have a group that |
| 1976s | forms a small town and they just apply |
| 1979s | you know all permissions in the town is |
| 1982s | only related to the people in the town |
| 1984s | and creating these commune society and |
| 1987s | groups that |
| 1988s | anyone is able to do anything inside |
| 1990s | this territory but they need to belong |
| 1992s | to the territory yeah subsidize thank |
| 1994s | you very much that was the word I was |
| 1995s | looking for |
| 1998s | um so you might see more of a |
| 2004s | subsidizing versus taxing of harvesting |
| 2007s | planting where |
| 2009s | the government bodies gets more involved |
| 2012s | in Land Management which is part of the |
| 2015s | push for this |
| 2017s | and |
| 2019s | we are trying to kind of move away from |
| 2021s | everyone has access to a whole heat load |
| 2024s | of land claims |
| 2025s | as you do with skill Scrolls as well as |
| 2028s | kind of the |
| 2030s | the notion of |
| 2033s | more people generate more planes and |
| 2036s | more |
| 2037s | available properties but we also wanted |
| 2040s | to kind of move away from the |
| 2043s | the Reliant on technological progression |
| 2047s | for this in in one way |
| 2050s | you still have a threshold where you |
| 2052s | generate papers for the town you |
| 2054s | generate papers for a country and then |
| 2056s | when a country kind of upscales into |
| 2057s | Federation Federation dumps out papers |
| 2060s | equivalent to all the people in |
| 2063s | um |
| 2064s | the levels below it so once you reach a |
| 2067s | federation it could dump out like you |
| 2068s | know 600 1200 claim papers |
| 2073s | um depending on how many people you have |
| 2075s | in the towns and in the countries up to |
| 2077s | that stage |
| 2078s | which then gives you a whole heap load |
| 2080s | of land to |
| 2082s | add more cultural properties to or |
| 2086s | build giant farmlands and then renting |
| 2088s | them out to Farmers or telling them to |
| 2091s | the farmers |
| 2092s | so that's one approach I'm hoping that |
| 2095s | people will enjoy to kind of get their |
| 2096s | hands on |
| 2099s | uh |
| 2104s | beastians can I have a house in one city |
| 2106s | and in another |
| 2108s | it depends on the rules and regulations |
| 2110s | so you could own property |
| 2113s | in one town |
| 2117s | at the moment |
| 2121s | I believe we are kind of restricting it |
| 2124s | so you could rent it in a separate town |
| 2127s | but you can't own it in another town |
| 2130s | due to influence levels |
| 2134s | because right now influence for |
| 2136s | properties are based on your |
| 2140s | your relationship to the town |
| 2143s | so if a citizen is a member of the this |
| 2147s | pink town here |
| 2149s | any property they have would |
| 2151s | be |
| 2153s | subjugated to the influence of this town |
| 2159s | um |
| 2161s | yeah so there's not really a whole lot |
| 2164s | more on that at the moment we are still |
| 2166s | work in progress as hoping that |
| 2170s | thing at the top is still visible |
| 2173s | and |
| 2175s | we are still you know kind of making |
| 2178s | sure that everything is working the way |
| 2180s | we want them to be working and we're |
| 2182s | also happy to take suggestions or |
| 2184s | concerns where |
| 2185s | things might work out completely |
| 2188s | different from what we expect them to as |
| 2190s | with all game development |
| 2193s | where players do something completely |
| 2195s | crazy with what they get their hands on |
| 2197s | once we reach that stage |
| 2199s | um |
| 2200s | and we're just you know trying to |
| 2202s | eliminate as much as possible in terms |
| 2204s | of both bugs but also |
| 2206s | inconveniences and making sure that we |
| 2208s | reach a level of quality of life where |
| 2210s | we're happy with the added complexity |
| 2212s | versus the change in Behavior |
| 2216s | and just trying to make it this as |
| 2218s | honest as possible |
| 2222s | there was something else I wanted to |
| 2225s | kind of rough on on |
| 2228s | note on the question for |
| 2231s | the uh properties with different |
| 2233s | cultural values against each other to be |
| 2237s | able to capture another |
| 2238s | country's cultural properties and so on |
| 2242s | we do have an annexation stream that is |
| 2245s | planned |
| 2246s | which will cover that whole mechanic |
| 2248s | because it is a bit in-depth and it's |
| 2250s | also optional as a server setting just |
| 2252s | to make sure that that's known as well |
| 2257s | um |
| 2259s | and we get laws or treaties to not allow |
| 2262s | culture borders to cross certain piles |
| 2265s | that one is probably not |
| 2271s | well I shouldn't say not possible |
| 2273s | because at a certain level it is |
| 2276s | probably possible to do but loss |
| 2279s | only apply inside the cultural borders |
| 2283s | without the cultural border existing |
| 2285s | there the law wouldn't apply |
| 2289s | so basically any law doesn't know |
| 2291s | anything about anything outside of that |
| 2294s | range |
| 2298s | dropped on a building here just |
| 2303s | do let me extend it |
| 2308s | that make a fancy little building here |
| 2311s | on top |
| 2314s | this is big enough to the small ones |
| 2331s | oh |
| 2334s | for the ad |
| 2338s | there we go |
| 2341s | so one of the things we did with quartz |
| 2344s | as |
| 2347s | I think I've shown |
| 2349s | um we changed out so you now have a |
| 2352s | small cord and you have a large cord |
| 2358s | where the small court is basically the |
| 2361s | chord object that has all the kind of |
| 2363s | Superfluous objects away from it |
| 2367s | which also has a change |
| 2371s | volume of loss and interactions |
| 2377s | yeah |
| 2378s | here |
| 2379s | I just wanted to make sure that it was |
| 2381s | on the same property as the foundation |
| 2387s | which is what you know |
| 2389s | roughing this in here in this amazingly |
| 2392s | quality building that I'm sure half of |
| 2394s | you |
| 2395s | are super impressed with how |
| 2399s | brand as it can look |
| 2404s | amazing in Pitch back pitch Blackness |
| 2406s | here |
| 2408s | as I am a member of this country now I |
| 2412s | have the option of being able to |
| 2415s | create laws and in here |
| 2419s | on the game effect |
| 2423s | we've got |
| 2425s | the settlement of jurisdiction that you |
| 2427s | can choose so in this tab is where you |
| 2431s | select what area of influence you are |
| 2433s | going to impact with this specific law |
| 2436s | and the same thing goes for everything |
| 2437s | that kind of |
| 2440s | Civic related so be it |
| 2443s | um an amendment to the Constitution |
| 2445s | you're going to be pointing towards the |
| 2447s | constitution of a town or a country |
| 2450s | based on what you select the |
| 2452s | jurisdiction of the object to be and |
| 2453s | this is only selectable by |
| 2455s | valid areas you can place it in so if |
| 2458s | this is if this small court is placed |
| 2462s | inside a town |
| 2464s | here and as Dennis pointed out I can |
| 2466s | just override it |
| 2468s | through this let's add it inside here |
| 2473s | restriction to add |
| 2476s | role |
| 2479s | of this in here |
| 2481s | enable |
| 2483s | oh |
| 2485s | apparently not |
| 2496s | nope Dennis I can't do it it's broken |
| 2503s | why is it not wanting me to select big |
| 2506s | enough it's going to be good |
| 2511s | there we go let's just dump it in here |
| 2514s | there we go so here you can see that |
| 2516s | this is inside the town |
| 2519s | as we saw here so this is the town |
| 2521s | radius we're placing this inside the |
| 2524s | town |
| 2525s | um inside the country |
| 2527s | that's why I have access to both the |
| 2529s | town and the country so if I select this |
| 2532s | one here |
| 2534s | and I create civics |
| 2537s | changes or laws that relate to that |
| 2540s | jurisdiction once these have passed |
| 2543s | you can no longer change their |
| 2545s | jurisdiction for this object and this |
| 2547s | chord will only apply to that specific |
| 2550s | layer |
| 2552s | so if I draft the law here and says |
| 2556s | let's do a |
| 2560s | dick |
| 2562s | actually since we were talking about |
| 2563s | farming let's let's do Harvester hunt |
| 2567s | so any specie any tool used and then we |
| 2571s | just do |
| 2572s | you know |
| 2574s | we can we can do revoke citizenship and |
| 2576s | like if you're hunting Alters in |
| 2578s | alterville you can revoke citizenship of |
| 2579s | them |
| 2582s | always fun |
| 2585s | so we do prevent and |
| 2588s | run |
| 2593s | notice that I'm not giving it any |
| 2595s | specific other conditions |
| 2598s | and this is also so |
| 2601s | if it's not super clear on when you're |
| 2604s | creating |
| 2606s | Civic interactions or laws and and so on |
| 2609s | so forth once you've created the draft |
| 2611s | you're happy with you add the new law to |
| 2613s | an election |
| 2615s | it adds it in the |
| 2617s | um |
| 2618s | as an election draft inside the |
| 2621s | election sidebar which is this one here |
| 2625s | and that is where you actually started |
| 2626s | so once you click once you've clicked |
| 2628s | this button there is no going back |
| 2630s | unless the election either passes fails |
| 2633s | or is vetoed assuming someone has |
| 2636s | permission to do that |
| 2638s | so we do start the election and just |
| 2641s | flip through it with Quick Command |
| 2645s | and now we're completely preventing all |
| 2647s | harvesting inside our country |
| 2650s | and this sounds like an awesome idea |
| 2653s | we're protecting all the species and |
| 2654s | everything and protecting all the |
| 2656s | turtles |
| 2659s | um |
| 2660s | uh so if I do a slash |
| 2663s | oh |
| 2669s | Arrow |
| 2671s | oh |
| 2672s | two eyes sorry I have my microphones in |
| 2675s | the way a little bit so I |
| 2677s | have a bit of a difficult being the left |
| 2679s | side of the |
| 2681s | yeah so if I do this |
| 2684s | it should up me |
| 2687s | in the notifications they're hidden off |
| 2689s | the side so it's not helping anyone |
| 2694s | do I have a Wolfie here |
| 2697s | there you go |
| 2700s | and as you can see here now we have a |
| 2703s | law active inside this settlement |
| 2708s | and if I go |
| 2711s | into another settlement |
| 2714s | as you can see a new settlement new area |
| 2716s | no loss applying |
| 2718s | and |
| 2720s | same thing for |
| 2722s | if I'm outside the area completely I'll |
| 2725s | hit the turkey it'll take damage |
| 2728s | if I can hit the turkey his pathway and |
| 2730s | he's just |
| 2732s | too awesome for me |
| 2733s | and could pick him up and everything is |
| 2736s | working Dandy and then once moving back |
| 2738s | into this town or this country it is all |
| 2742s | affected by the same law |
| 2745s | and if I'm moving into the town it you |
| 2748s | can also see that |
| 2753s | it is not really working the way we want |
| 2755s | it to as you can |
| 2757s | probably tell from the amazing |
| 2759s | description there with the item name |
| 2762s | but |
| 2765s | yeah the item I think it's yeah I think |
| 2769s | it's in regards to |
| 2771s | you lost being activated in properties |
| 2774s | with both towns and settlements but uh |
| 2778s | anyway if I'm shooting things that's |
| 2779s | outside the borders it won't proc the |
| 2782s | law if I'm inside it will proc the law |
| 2785s | that is how |
| 2788s | influence is going to impact loss and |
| 2790s | the layers of depth in terms of |
| 2793s | what you can kind of do with things |
| 2798s | nope we're stuck with the item name I'm |
| 2801s | sorry it doesn't want to go away |
| 2802s | anywhere |
| 2805s | um and now I'm breaking even more things |
| 2807s | so |
| 2810s | I think I'm just gonna |
| 2813s | yeah |
| 2815s | um |
| 2816s | peculiar is the word I'd use |
| 2823s | from both the main menu see if that |
| 2827s | alleviates the problem Maybe |
| 2830s | or if I broke the client |
| 2833s | I think we might be good it didn't |
| 2835s | follow me out here at least |
| 2838s | uh do you have anything any other |
| 2841s | questions that people feel like oh |
| 2847s | I think everyone is seemingly quite |
| 2849s | happy |
| 2850s | um |
| 2851s | like I said in the in the beginning if |
| 2852s | you have you know huge concerns about oh |
| 2855s | this is going to break everything for me |
| 2858s | um just let us know and we'll see |
| 2862s | um if we're actually breaking it or if |
| 2866s | there's something that we |
| 2868s | and I also want to include or |
| 2871s | change and adapt things to |
| 2877s | they'll seemingly wanted to let me come |
| 2879s | in here |
| 2881s | um wondering about how two countries |
| 2883s | will compete with each other well |
| 2886s | the general notion is countries should |
| 2890s | be sort of competing with each other in |
| 2891s | terms of |
| 2892s | acquiring property and land they want to |
| 2895s | reach or expanding to the level they |
| 2898s | want to reach at and that is kind of |
| 2900s | where |
| 2901s | citizen activity comes into yeah client |
| 2904s | widescreen of death I think it's just |
| 2907s | it it really doesn't like me today |
| 2912s | uh |
| 2919s | go |
| 2921s | now we're ending world no |
| 2924s | um as Zach was saying here concern being |
| 2927s | that someone will just be able to start |
| 2928s | a settlement next to someone else and |
| 2930s | Conquer it all in one night well |
| 2934s | um first off I would |
| 2936s | kind of clarify that by default unless |
| 2939s | servers do something |
| 2941s | in terms of changing out the default |
| 2943s | election processes which is what's being |
| 2946s | used for the spawn of settlements so |
| 2948s | when you first create a town you'll |
| 2951s | always have that the old election type |
| 2954s | from the capital that you're used to so |
| 2956s | anytime you want to start a new town |
| 2958s | it's always going to be a 24 hour |
| 2962s | um |
| 2963s | pass from the fact that you place the |
| 2965s | foundation to that you can found it it |
| 2967s | always needs to go through that approval |
| 2969s | process |
| 2972s | um |
| 2973s | with the exception of |
| 2975s | like everyone is all agreeing you can |
| 2979s | kind of push down fairly quickly |
| 2981s | but at that time you're also going to be |
| 2983s | looking at you need to have enough |
| 2985s | culture to |
| 2988s | to expand it to that degree and some of |
| 2992s | it is going to be locked in terms of |
| 2993s | text some of it is going to be locked in |
| 2995s | terms of just time required to build up |
| 2999s | the resources to do that |
| 3001s | s |
| 3003s | you are aware that this needs to be |
| 3005s | housed they also have restrictions and |
| 3008s | it is really not letting me do that |
| 3011s | uh |
| 3013s | foreign |
| 3035s | [Music] |
| 3036s | where were I yeah so |
| 3040s | you're always going to have that kind of |
| 3041s | Gap in where you can't just join a |
| 3044s | server and pop down a foundation and |
| 3047s | create the town off the go without |
| 3050s | setting up a manufacturing on your own |
| 3053s | and setting up kind of |
| 3055s | did I break the server there |
| 3061s | Bowie |
| 3071s | fill on it just doesn't really want to |
| 3074s | connect |
| 3077s | and I think that |
| 3081s | oh really we will not when I terminate |
| 3085s | the server then it starts to load okay |
| 3089s | is that one |
| 3091s | um |
| 3092s | but I am I believe I'm screen sharing |
| 3095s | everything yeah so |
| 3098s | um on the culture and salvaging the |
| 3101s | situation here a little bit with |
| 3104s | um culture and its kind of effects and |
| 3106s | how this is |
| 3111s | um handled in terms of limitations and |
| 3114s | and kind of |
| 3117s | on the topic of how culture grows and |
| 3119s | how it can kind of poke out |
| 3123s | um you've got this input Half-Life |
| 3125s | versus output limit so anytime a |
| 3129s | cultural value of |
| 3130s | a settlement here reaches this point |
| 3134s | it'll go to 50 towards the next level of |
| 3137s | the limitations |
| 3139s | so as you reach higher scale and higher |
| 3143s | values of culture range you are gonna |
| 3146s | hit a cap |
| 3148s | so that town border won't expand |
| 3151s | indefinitely as long as you keep |
| 3153s | plugging in more culture and the same |
| 3155s | thing so once you kind of reach that |
| 3157s | level you have to transition over to a |
| 3159s | country a country consists of multiple |
| 3162s | towns it requires a certain amount of |
| 3164s | minimum settlements or a minimum amount |
| 3167s | of settlements and a minimum amount of |
| 3170s | citizens inside those settlements so you |
| 3174s | do have a kind of safety net in regards |
| 3176s | to |
| 3177s | the concern of being kind of enrolled by |
| 3181s | a single cohesive group of players for |
| 3184s | instance which I'm guessing is part of |
| 3187s | that concern |
| 3190s | uh |
| 3193s | and |
| 3196s | how do contracts work within this are |
| 3199s | they still the same well contracts are |
| 3201s | kinda |
| 3203s | um they're kind of their own little |
| 3204s | thing if we're talking about |
| 3207s | the actual contracts and not the work |
| 3209s | parties while the work parties are also |
| 3211s | kind of individual as well where |
| 3214s | they're not |
| 3216s | really inhibited by the settlements as |
| 3219s | these are |
| 3221s | it really broke for me now I I think I |
| 3224s | might have broken the server somehow so |
| 3225s | I think |
| 3227s | oh oh no no are we getting in we are |
| 3230s | getting in |
| 3231s | El my we are getting in it's amazing |
| 3235s | I didn't break it |
| 3238s | quite proud of myself considering how |
| 3240s | much I've been messing around with |
| 3240s | commands |
| 3247s | there we go we are back on the server |
| 3250s | uh apparently the mouse over on the |
| 3252s | settlements and and the law active is |
| 3255s | calls were concerned for some of it |
| 3259s | um |
| 3262s | yeah now that we have |
| 3264s | actually do that now that we have a |
| 3268s | all active in here and we have it tied |
| 3270s | to fiction |
| 3274s | you can see that if I'm trying to switch |
| 3276s | it out |
| 3277s | it can't change Associated settlements |
| 3279s | while they're active or proposed loss in |
| 3281s | state |
| 3289s | and yeah as Dennis answer there if |
| 3293s | there's a way to prevent if there is a |
| 3296s | way for servers to prevent work parties |
| 3297s | across the globe when there is no Global |
| 3300s | government |
| 3302s | um no it's any |
| 3304s | any on a server that relies on a global |
| 3310s | predetermined |
| 3312s | settlement will need to adjust some of |
| 3315s | the variables for |
| 3317s | the Federation and use that as their |
| 3320s | kind of mock-up government to make sure |
| 3323s | that they have Global coverage from the |
| 3324s | start |
| 3327s | um |
| 3328s | and if there's if there's admins that do |
| 3330s | need help to to kind of get their heads |
| 3332s | wrapped around how that works when we |
| 3335s | get to that stage just |
| 3337s | send me a DM or |
| 3340s | um |
| 3342s | ask about it in |
| 3344s | either the update 10 channels or the |
| 3348s | server help once once it's out on stable |
| 3356s | would I be able to make a work party |
| 3358s | with the criterias of you needing to be |
| 3361s | a citizen of X yes absolutely so |
| 3365s | work parties |
| 3367s | they all still have the same log game |
| 3369s | values and |
| 3371s | you can still get some of those |
| 3375s | from uh let's actually see if that works |
| 3379s | um fire |
| 3381s | you have something |
| 3385s | right |
| 3407s | a bunch of corn and |
| 3412s | we link that up |
| 3416s | like that |
| 3419s | then we do |
| 3421s | here so inside work parties and we've |
| 3425s | got that short corn |
| 3428s | General requirements here |
| 3432s | and shank4 is citizen of settlement and |
| 3435s | you can just select |
| 3438s | countries or settlement or |
| 3441s | whichever specific one you need |
| 3444s | and if the citizen is a member of that |
| 3446s | settlement |
| 3448s | it is all right you cannot do this |
| 3454s | so this is something that you could add |
| 3459s | as a general requirement to to do your |
| 3461s | work parties hey you only your work |
| 3463s | parties only applicable or |
| 3466s | your town citizens |
| 3469s | um you could do that and then anyone |
| 3471s | that is not a member of your town is not |
| 3472s | going to be able to do it |
| 3474s | so that's one way to kind of discern if |
| 3477s | you want only townies to be able to |
| 3481s | apply for your work parties |
| 3486s | uh |
| 3490s | do you have any any other questions here |
| 3492s | in the line I think we're we're pretty |
| 3494s | much cleared out |
| 3499s | can you have a federation without the |
| 3502s | countries yes if you change out the |
| 3504s | values for it |
| 3507s | um so as sa is it is that a setting |
| 3510s | yes sort of right now it's still not |
| 3513s | exposed as |
| 3516s | um a config config but it is inside the |
| 3519s | settlement definitions |
| 3522s | um as you can see maybe |
| 3525s | um |
| 3525s | that a little bit even the tool tip is |
| 3527s | not really thoroughly expanded |
| 3530s | um so inside mods in inside the server |
| 3532s | mods folder and core systems |
| 3535s | you're looking at settlements |
| 3537s | definitions |
| 3539s | and in here |
| 3541s | you have these values for the arrays and |
| 3544s | this is looking like a lot of jungle |
| 3547s | as Dennis points out you can force |
| 3550s | enable a federation to just override all |
| 3552s | values and settings and configuration |
| 3554s | requirements |
| 3557s | but you can do things like minimum |
| 3559s | cities to maintain the settlement |
| 3561s | minimum cities to found the settlement |
| 3563s | and these are in three increments |
| 3567s | so you're looking at how many citizens |
| 3569s | it is required to start a town how many |
| 3572s | citizens it is required to be in a total |
| 3575s | value across all of those towns or just |
| 3578s | under the country itself to form that |
| 3580s | and then the amount of citizens you need |
| 3582s | to actually form a country |
| 3585s | and same thing for the amount of |
| 3587s | settlements as well so this is |
| 3589s | specifying that this needs two count or |
| 3592s | two towns to found a country and it |
| 3594s | requires two countries to found a |
| 3595s | federation |
| 3598s | and then you've got the maximum ranges |
| 3600s | that you can be from |
| 3602s | the center point |
| 3605s | with your homesteads when you start |
| 3607s | these different tiers |
| 3610s | so |
| 3612s | someone on their own could create a |
| 3615s | federation Foundation it could place it |
| 3617s | down |
| 3618s | but he wouldn't be able to start a |
| 3620s | federation until he has |
| 3623s | enough countries inside it so he could a |
| 3627s | solo person could place it down build a |
| 3629s | nice little house and then invite nearby |
| 3632s | countries to join his Federation and |
| 3634s | start it from there |
| 3637s | versus someone that is holding a country |
| 3640s | that is automatically added to the |
| 3643s | Federation |
| 3652s | I'm hoping that |
| 3654s | for Server admins |
| 3657s | yeah there's there's a couple of |
| 3658s | variable names here that are quite long |
| 3660s | but we're also trying to keep them as |
| 3663s | descriptive as you can get them |
| 3666s | so there's no confusion as to what |
| 3668s | they're actually |
| 3670s | representing because when you're |
| 3673s | um |
| 3675s | the variables when you're looking at |
| 3677s | them from a perspective of a notepad or |
| 3679s | something |
| 3680s | you kind of need to know what these are |
| 3682s | related to because adding comments for |
| 3685s | all of these gets very cluttered in in |
| 3688s | code when you're trying to actually see |
| 3690s | them from a modding or a server admin |
| 3692s | perspective rather than |
| 3694s | just being able to look up |
| 3697s | inside a an IDE |
| 3700s | a just like backtracking code |
| 3704s | um |
| 3705s | yeah |
| 3709s | I feel that we're probably coming up to |
| 3712s | the close of this where |
| 3714s | up on an hour |
| 3716s | ask here |
| 3718s | um I'm quite happy if there's if there's |
| 3720s | no other |
| 3723s | uh |
| 3724s | I said I was saying if there's no other |
| 3726s | question we can probably wrap this up |
| 3728s | but |
| 3730s | alpen came up here with could we also |
| 3732s | mod an extremely high cultural item to |
| 3736s | make the Federation cover the worlds and |
| 3737s | normal federations can still occur |
| 3739s | naturally to carve out their own areas |
| 3744s | um |
| 3745s | I think Dennis answered it somewhat |
| 3748s | um |
| 3749s | but it is |
| 3751s | as he did answer |
| 3753s | with |
| 3755s | um like you can only have one Federation |
| 3756s | that they've been given at any given |
| 3758s | point of influence it's a relation to |
| 3761s | when you found the Federation it'll have |
| 3764s | a set influence radius |
| 3766s | so for example I can't place a town |
| 3769s | inside a town I can't place a country |
| 3773s | inside the influence radius of a country |
| 3775s | because it wouldn't be able to be funded |
| 3781s | same thing for federations I can't place |
| 3783s | a federation |
| 3784s | if it's inside the radius of another |
| 3786s | Federation however |
| 3788s | if you don't have a global |
| 3792s | um if you haven't changed out so you |
| 3795s | have a global Federation from the start |
| 3797s | by like admin admin imposed Global |
| 3802s | encompassing of the world |
| 3804s | you could have multiple federations |
| 3806s | assuming that first Federation hasn't |
| 3809s | just gobbled all of the settlements as |
| 3812s | any settlement that joins it wool |
| 3816s | um |
| 3818s | wall kind of bunch up and build outwards |
| 3822s | so if I do here as a finishing thing |
| 3831s | if we add this thing here keep it set to |
| 3835s | oh no |
| 3844s | so this is what he's talking about when |
| 3846s | they when when you're forcing it of |
| 3848s | course enabling it it's just completely |
| 3850s | ignoring all of the requirements for say |
| 3852s | a room tier value |
| 3854s | how many countries you need how many |
| 3856s | settlement or economy citizens you need |
| 3858s | and then the total amount of culture |
| 3860s | required |
| 3863s | so with Force enabled running you can |
| 3866s | admin assign |
| 3868s | but you can't |
| 3871s | you can't place like an admin Federation |
| 3874s | on top of player federations |
| 3878s | so you're gonna need to do |
| 3881s | one or the other |
| 3883s | they do this here |
| 3886s | start ratification |
| 3887s | [Music] |
| 3888s | uh and that just popped because I'm of |
| 3892s | course enabling it |
| 3894s | and we do this and then we go united |
| 3900s | the |
| 3903s | deal and |
| 3906s | record Blue and felt |
| 3912s | woohoo |
| 3913s | and now |
| 3916s | you see the default because I'm |
| 3918s | overriding it and it doesn't have a room |
| 3920s | it it's not |
| 3921s | objected to the restrictions of |
| 3925s | housing value which is why it's giving |
| 3928s | its full maximum potential value |
| 3930s | straight out of date |
| 3933s | and as you can see here it's cut out |
| 3936s | because none of these towns are a part |
| 3938s | of this Federation |
| 3942s | and if I go in here and I add these two |
| 3948s | the force enable administrator mode |
| 3950s | so I just grab these make sure that all |
| 3952s | of them are part of me |
| 3955s | only need the countries |
| 3958s | there we go |
| 3959s | and now you can see that |
| 3962s | all of these are kind of gobbled up and |
| 3964s | are subjected to the Federation rate |
| 3971s | here |
| 3975s | there's still a couple of wonkiness |
| 3977s | things here with |
| 3981s | add these in |
| 3988s | um |
| 3990s | so there's there's still a couple of |
| 3991s | hiccups where |
| 3993s | it's not properly sending |
| 3996s | I I stole |
| 3998s | I stole the um the towns out of the |
| 4001s | countries so the countries no longer |
| 4002s | have towns in them |
| 4004s | which is why this radius here is no |
| 4006s | longer a part of this country and this |
| 4007s | is no longer part of this country |
| 4009s | and this is what I'm referring to when |
| 4011s | I'm saying be careful with commands or |
| 4015s | in a shortcuts from then we use for QA |
| 4018s | as well as |
| 4020s | game master |
| 4022s | Shenanigans or the public servers |
| 4024s | because this can be very detrimental and |
| 4027s | very destructive for your save game |
| 4032s | but as you can see here now the |
| 4034s | Federation is having all of these areas |
| 4037s | that they are subjugated and the radius |
| 4040s | the default radius is something that I'm |
| 4043s | tinkering with to kind of give us an |
| 4046s | appropriate scale |
| 4048s | and it's also not properly inherent in |
| 4052s | culture as you can see here it's only |
| 4053s | getting 30 culture this is supposed to |
| 4055s | get the culture of all the sub |
| 4057s | settlements so this should be |
| 4059s | or in the the 200 range so probably |
| 4063s | twice the size |
| 4066s | um but yeah I think information overflow |
| 4069s | there's a lot to take in uh it's a very |
| 4071s | complicated subject and |
| 4075s | um |
| 4077s | yeah I I think that's probably |
| 4080s | what we have time for tonight |
| 4083s | um |
| 4085s | and |
| 4092s | I think we are |
| 4095s | do we have any any last |
| 4098s | questions here now |
| 4100s | is there any plan to have influence be |
| 4103s | impacted by terrain so higher |
| 4106s | pathfinding costs for influencer on |
| 4108s | oceans or over mountains and so on |
| 4114s | it's an interesting idea I think but |
| 4118s | it also |
| 4120s | because of how the core systems are |
| 4123s | working in terms of layer and like it's |
| 4126s | basically generating it on a flat 2D map |
| 4130s | um |
| 4131s | there could be some interesting |
| 4133s | implications where our settlements would |
| 4135s | be able to kind of push up against the |
| 4137s | mountain |
| 4138s | um |
| 4141s | it definitely deserves some thinking too |
| 4143s | but |
| 4145s | for 10.0 I don't think that that'll be |
| 4148s | something that we want to change the |
| 4149s | moment at least but it is definitely a |
| 4152s | good idea |
| 4155s | as for when the update will be released |
| 4159s | that will be something that Dennis |
| 4160s | announces when it's stable |
| 4164s | enough to actually be released |
| 4166s | I think it's a good |
| 4168s | ending note |
| 4171s | um |
| 4173s | and with that I am going to |
| 4176s | thank everyone for watching and having |
| 4179s | the patience to sit through this long |
| 4182s | session of just |
| 4185s | um a ton of Civic information and I know |
| 4187s | everyone is super hyped for some more |
| 4189s | interesting gameplay footage and some |
| 4191s | reaction that is happening but we do |
| 4195s | have a couple more Civic streams coming |
| 4197s | up |
| 4198s | um and we also have an avatar one |
| 4201s | with some cool changes and some updates |
| 4204s | on how that progress is going and |
| 4208s | that'll be announced when |
| 4211s | when they're upcoming and |
| 4215s | yeah |
| 4217s | that will be all for me tonight I thank |
| 4219s | you once again for watching |
| 4222s | and I will see you next week perhaps |
