| 1s | hello everyone and welcome to another |
|---|---|
| 4s | strange Loop games stream here in |
| 7s | preparation for update 10. |
| 9s | and we finally have a Friday stream |
| 12s | again uh hopefully we're back on a more |
| 15s | normalized schedule and we don't have a |
| 17s | two directions going on for the uh |
| 21s | just the general streams coming up |
| 23s | and today we have an interesting subject |
| 27s | that we haven't really talked about much |
| 29s | in either |
| 31s | public notifications and |
| 34s | the um just a general chatter uh until a |
| 37s | couple of days ago |
| 39s | and that is our changes to how plants |
| 42s | are initially spawned when you create a |
| 44s | new world |
| 46s | and |
| 48s | I'm cutting directly into it |
| 52s | we have had or during the process of 9.0 |
| 57s | development |
| 58s | we've had a |
| 61s | and I'm overflow and abundance of wild |
| 63s | crops due to changes to the World |
| 65s | Generation when we transitioned over |
| 67s | from 8.3 up to 9. and we had some some |
| 71s | accidents going into 9.0 and into 9.1 if |
| 75s | you do go back and check those versions |
| 79s | but |
| 80s | through the transition of nine and then |
| 82s | through our development up to 10 we kind |
| 85s | of agree with all the players notion in |
| 87s | that |
| 88s | um this whole blanket coverage that we |
| 90s | have right now is not really something |
| 91s | that we find acceptable from our side so |
| 95s | um 410 here we decided to kind of rework |
| 97s | that and make sure that it feels a lot |
| 99s | more natural and a lot more |
| 101s | approachable and |
| 103s | just it feels more |
| 107s | um like an environment you would expect |
| 109s | to find |
| 110s | rather than something that just at this |
| 113s | porn all over |
| 116s | and I think there's just not really a |
| 119s | whole lot to say other than |
| 121s | just getting getting straight into it |
| 124s | let me just find where I |
| 128s | like that |
| 130s | or that we're spawning a new world as |
| 131s | well |
| 133s | so there's a couple of new restrictions |
| 136s | with the new spawner |
| 138s | that is something that we wanted to make |
| 140s | sure that players have access to and |
| 142s | then or admins in general |
| 144s | um |
| 145s | they can tweak these settings and they |
| 147s | can manipulate and edit them as they |
| 149s | require |
| 150s | so there is a lot of user access |
| 154s | I mean just this and we can refer to |
| 160s | the Eco background while the server is |
| 161s | starting up again |
| 164s | so |
| 165s | when I'm saying clusters |
| 169s | we are looking at |
| 171s | just general |
| 173s | zones of crops availability so we are |
| 176s | moving away from the whole idea of |
| 177s | everything is available in all biomes |
| 181s | and |
| 183s | you will have areas say grassland for |
| 186s | instance where you don't have these |
| 188s | crops versus other areas where they will |
| 191s | where they will be more of a dense area |
| 193s | of them |
| 196s | um |
| 197s | almost ready here |
| 202s | maybe possibly |
| 205s | uh |
| 207s | yeah it's just taking a bit longer |
| 212s | we have |
| 214s | um |
| 217s | changes to water mechanics are planned |
| 221s | they they just didn't fit in with the |
| 223s | scope of 10 we do have some ideas |
| 226s | or how we wanted them to be |
| 228s | having more |
| 232s | in terms of like flowing water the the |
| 235s | altitude level differences are supposed |
| 237s | to be more |
| 239s | curved slash linear rather than this |
| 241s | kind of Blocky nature of it |
| 245s | uh |
| 250s | um yeah I think it's it |
| 254s | just gonna be looking at all a lot nicer |
| 256s | sorry for |
| 258s | and I got caught up with some |
| 260s | pre-testing and making sure that the |
| 262s | resolution changes for the stream is |
| 264s | working I hope everyone is |
| 267s | um |
| 267s | having a good visual point of it which I |
| 271s | changed out so it's not limited to 1080 |
| 273s | anymore it should be |
| 274s | um 144. |
| 277s | um so do let me know in chat if there is |
| 279s | something that |
| 280s | or if it's not if it's not working or if |
| 282s | it's you know being misbehaving |
| 287s | um yeah I think Dennis helped me go |
| 289s | through and make sure that it kind of |
| 291s | worked but when it comes to the |
| 292s | multi-stream place where we're streaming |
| 294s | out to Facebook and |
| 297s | beam and all of the other platforms |
| 300s | we can't really do dry tests of that so |
| 303s | we we kind of |
| 305s | test it locally for some of them |
| 307s | um in private mode but for twitch for |
| 309s | instance it doesn't allow that we kind |
| 311s | of |
| 312s | you're kind of left to open and make |
| 315s | sure that that works so |
| 318s | we have a default |
| 320s | biased 0.52 kilometer world so this is |
| 323s | the regular |
| 324s | regular start spawning that we'll be |
| 327s | showing off here for a little bit but |
| 329s | I'll go through |
| 332s | all the different changes as we move |
| 334s | through it and also showing off the new |
| 336s | debug command that admins have access to |
| 339s | to be able to determine how things are |
| 341s | spawning |
| 343s | yeah thank you for the feedback it seems |
| 345s | like it's working on those twitch and |
| 346s | YouTube all right |
| 350s | it wants to let me in here |
| 354s | uh yeah so |
| 357s | um crops have been switched around |
| 360s | um |
| 361s | I'm sort of in the process of making a |
| 362s | PR to make sure that it goes in as |
| 364s | quickly as possible for the play test |
| 367s | but we have moved some crops over |
| 370s | the wetlands for instance as I've shown |
| 373s | on Discord no longer has all the |
| 375s | mushrooms |
| 376s | and the the fly Caps or the Amita |
| 379s | mushrooms have been moved over to the |
| 381s | warm forest and the bullied over into |
| 383s | the cold Forest |
| 386s | um and the crimini is more |
| 389s | prone to |
| 392s | change out the |
| 394s | layer here |
| 397s | so this is something that hopefully |
| 398s | everyone is convenient yeah |
| 402s | uh |
| 404s | uh this is something that I'm hoping |
| 406s | everyone is kind of |
| 408s | adjusted to in terms of visual |
| 411s | [Laughter] |
| 413s | the new spawn system so when you join in |
| 416s | on a server |
| 417s | you get these nice little clustered |
| 420s | notifications as to where you can spawn |
| 422s | and |
| 424s | what these locations are providing and |
| 426s | this is something that |
| 427s | we want more feedback on |
| 430s | um and we're kind of trying to refine |
| 433s | these to make more to be in both |
| 435s | location wise making more sense but also |
| 437s | be more approachable for General users |
| 441s | so here we have |
| 443s | a quite clean map we've got a decent |
| 446s | sized desert to kind of show off all |
| 448s | that the generation is working we've got |
| 449s | a Wetlands going on here there's a |
| 451s | different temperature variations |
| 453s | and we got warm Forest covering the |
| 455s | wetlands and then over to the rainforest |
| 458s | but if we start here over in |
| 461s | the grassland |
| 464s | flying here |
| 467s | you carved it tutorial |
| 471s | I forgot to change the pants on the |
| 473s | character so |
| 474s | we do have some issues with some |
| 476s | glitching Avatar clothing when you're |
| 478s | flying |
| 480s | um that it shows up some of the some of |
| 482s | the textures are rendering through so |
| 485s | you bear in mind that it is a work in |
| 487s | progress and |
| 488s | that specific issue right now is only |
| 490s | affected too if you're using admin |
| 492s | flight |
| 495s | um so yeah here we have |
| 497s | images of the new grassland which as you |
| 500s | can see there is still you know a |
| 502s | concerning amount of corn here you might |
| 505s | think |
| 506s | that there is |
| 507s | there's some bunchlings here and general |
| 511s | aesthetic changes |
| 513s | and we also have some beets tomatoes |
| 516s | but as you can see these are now |
| 520s | properly grouping in small |
| 525s | and a reference |
| 527s | mistaking a bit sometimes I like I can |
| 529s | sometimes refer to these as clusters but |
| 531s | they are defined as groups on the server |
| 535s | and a cluster contains of multiple |
| 538s | groups so in this case we have |
| 541s | the patch here in front and then we have |
| 543s | the one on the right here that is a |
| 545s | small group |
| 546s | and then these are set as |
| 549s | these are variables set on the the um |
| 552s | the actual land script |
| 554s | so you can set how many you want to be |
| 557s | spawning at a low range in a group and |
| 559s | then a cap of how many you want to top |
| 561s | on in a group and then it'll randomize |
| 564s | in between those place the group and |
| 566s | then it'll |
| 567s | we had a bit of a limit three and a |
| 570s | range limit on |
| 571s | how often it can place groups and how |
| 573s | what are the proximity in between this |
| 576s | so this is the grassland and this is |
| 579s | somewhere where we have quite an |
| 581s | abundance of corn |
| 583s | so if we grab |
| 585s | the map here and we can hop up to |
| 591s | head over North and just to kind of |
| 593s | clean off the grassland |
| 599s | um the ice that spawns randomly in the |
| 602s | desert is |
| 604s | an oddity |
| 606s | um it's sometimes the temperature ranges |
| 609s | doesn't really seem to be working |
| 612s | the way we want them to be working |
| 614s | if we go into temperatures |
| 619s | um I think it's because it freaks out a |
| 622s | little bit in terms of like it caps out |
| 624s | the temperature so |
| 625s | it's um whole temperature ranges is |
| 629s | something that I'll be looking over as |
| 632s | we go through the play test as well to |
| 633s | kind of minimize those issues |
| 636s | um |
| 637s | yeah basically it's like it goes up to |
| 639s | one and then it kind of freaks out and |
| 641s | doesn't really know what to do |
| 643s | with that temperature |
| 646s | so as we move along here in the |
| 648s | grassland you can see you're no longer |
| 649s | seeing corn |
| 651s | and that is because the corn has a |
| 653s | cluster that it's spawned regionalized |
| 656s | at the bottom there |
| 661s | [Music] |
| 662s | um |
| 663s | any plans for transitioning biomes I |
| 667s | believe you're thinking of like |
| 669s | intermediary biomes where you have like |
| 671s | a |
| 673s | um |
| 674s | like a hybrid between a grassland and a |
| 677s | cold forest for instance |
| 680s | um there is some |
| 681s | some experimentations towards that but I |
| 684s | believe it's gonna be more inclined to |
| 686s | be like proper sub type biomes |
| 690s | um you kind of deal with that |
| 691s | tic-tac-toe situation where you can't |
| 693s | have a grassland |
| 695s | towards a tundra for instance under is |
| 700s | always covered about |
| 702s | um |
| 704s | if I show you on the map here |
| 707s | or biomes you can see that the Thunder |
| 710s | for instance is always this kind of |
| 711s | bordering around |
| 713s | the actual Frozen ice biome |
| 717s | and then it kind of trickles down into |
| 719s | Tega and then into cold Forest kind of |
| 721s | evens out at the temperature as you're |
| 722s | going down |
| 725s | and this is where the rules and |
| 727s | regulations of this comes into play |
| 729s | you have a bit of overlap here as you |
| 732s | can see with Vega biome kind of |
| 734s | trickling down into the cold forest and |
| 736s | this is areas where you're going to be |
| 738s | able to see these kind of overlap in |
| 740s | either three types that are growing into |
| 742s | other biomes even though they're not |
| 744s | actually allowed to be that |
| 748s | um |
| 749s | and more of these kind of rule sets will |
| 752s | help refine the the biome generator but |
| 755s | at the same time |
| 756s | the more rules you're adding onto the as |
| 760s | restrictions onto which biomes can be |
| 762s | adjacent to which biomes |
| 765s | you're also making the world less unique |
| 768s | as they'll be more similar to each other |
| 771s | the more rules you have so we are trying |
| 774s | to keep it somewhat realistic |
| 777s | at the same time |
| 780s | trying to kind of keep it somewhat of |
| 785s | a unique map every time you generate it |
| 789s | but more biome types will possibly |
| 793s | happen |
| 794s | um but there is a risk of us |
| 797s | only using them for larger preset Maps |
| 801s | so you might not have all biome Types on |
| 803s | smaller Maps just because the world |
| 804s | generator gets really |
| 807s | cranky when you have two all of a |
| 810s | confined space and you need to disperse |
| 811s | enough biomes inside that space |
| 817s | um ask for |
| 819s | biome changes |
| 821s | um they will happen |
| 823s | so this is something that is not super |
| 826s | almond |
| 828s | it's also not super |
| 831s | often it does happen |
| 833s | but if you have temperature increases in |
| 835s | the world due to pollution |
| 837s | at the moment it's currently flooding |
| 839s | the world way faster than we would like |
| 841s | it to so that's something that I'll be |
| 843s | taking a look at here after I'm done |
| 845s | with these plan changes |
| 847s | where if you rise up the temperature and |
| 851s | it heats up it'll start killing off the |
| 853s | plants |
| 855s | and as it's killing off the plant it |
| 857s | reduces the amount of pollution these |
| 859s | plants can take care of which then kind |
| 861s | of escalates the situation of |
| 864s | um world temperature rising crops die |
| 866s | off |
| 867s | but if the World's temperature rises in |
| 869s | grassland for instance it will start to |
| 871s | transition over into biome |
| 874s | and into sort of a desertification |
| 877s | as the temperature now Hills off the |
| 881s | grass plants |
| 882s | and allows for desert plants to start |
| 885s | growing there because it still has |
| 887s | enough moisture |
| 889s | um in certain areas but it'll be dry and |
| 892s | temperate enough for the cacti and kind |
| 894s | of the yosho and those kind of brush too |
| 897s | red in there but that's something that's |
| 899s | always worked it's just been an issue of |
| 903s | pollution may not have been affecting |
| 905s | the world too much you might have had |
| 906s | too few players for a big enough world |
| 908s | so you don't pollute it enough through |
| 911s | your play cycle |
| 914s | which is something that is really touchy |
| 916s | from a balanced perspective |
| 919s | where |
| 921s | we change out the values for pollution |
| 924s | requirements or pollution vulnerability |
| 927s | at a certain level you have a server |
| 929s | that might be the same size with 10 |
| 931s | people |
| 933s | as a server with 100 people and then |
| 936s | you've got the server with 100 people |
| 937s | they instantly vaporize their world and |
| 940s | causes it to become a desert Wasteland |
| 943s | within a couple of days versus the one |
| 945s | with 10 that never even sees the change |
| 948s | so finding a good balance in between |
| 951s | player population versus impact of |
| 953s | environment is really tricky and it is |
| 955s | something that takes time |
| 957s | um |
| 958s | and something that we do want to kind of |
| 960s | move into more as well |
| 962s | but I digress a little bit so back on |
| 964s | the plants |
| 966s | as was asked for about the corn |
| 969s | because corn is such an amazing |
| 971s | versatile crop we also wanted to biome |
| 976s | um it's locked two being planted in |
| 978s | grassland or Forest adjacent because of |
| 981s | the temperature and humidity |
| 982s | requirements so that's still a case |
| 985s | however as you can see there's not a |
| 987s | corn inside |
| 988s | and that is because if we use this fancy |
| 991s | new debug command |
| 993s | and we have world and then species and |
| 996s | then you can specify which species you |
| 998s | want to take a look at how it spawned |
| 999s | and how it's looking this is an admin |
| 1002s | command |
| 1004s | if we do this |
| 1005s | and we do |
| 1007s | that and it'll show you |
| 1013s | um how these clusters have spawned |
| 1017s | and it'll also show you the groupings |
| 1020s | inside the cluster |
| 1022s | and then it will show you the range it's |
| 1024s | allowing to place new groups so corn is |
| 1027s | a bit of a tricky plant |
| 1029s | um |
| 1031s | and I see that I would have liked a |
| 1032s | bigger cluster for it I'd pick another |
| 1034s | plant |
| 1035s | um I'll be help later |
| 1038s | but here you can see that corn has been |
| 1040s | planted here and you've got a couple of |
| 1042s | clusters here and over on this island |
| 1044s | over here but |
| 1046s | the entirety of the rest of the area is |
| 1048s | completely corn free |
| 1050s | so what this has done is |
| 1052s | a couple of things really it's one made |
| 1054s | sure that resources even inside the same |
| 1058s | biome is regionalized so you don't have |
| 1061s | access to all crops regardless of the |
| 1065s | biome |
| 1067s | um |
| 1068s | specification |
| 1070s | and if we compare it to |
| 1074s | um let's grab say |
| 1076s | uh |
| 1079s | white person |
| 1082s | as you can see here we have one of the |
| 1084s | filler crops that is planted inside the |
| 1088s | desert |
| 1090s | and it's spawning inside and around the |
| 1092s | desert area where it's high enough |
| 1094s | moisture that it is liking that |
| 1097s | situation but here you can also see the |
| 1099s | cluster so this is a cluster radius |
| 1102s | where inside this area it's allowing to |
| 1105s | spawn the groups based on the distance |
| 1108s | and the distance is limiting how many |
| 1111s | groups can be placed and these are |
| 1113s | overlapping in between the Clusters and |
| 1116s | I do apologize for the kind of |
| 1119s | technical rant here |
| 1122s | but as you can see here for instance we |
| 1124s | have a group that is spawned |
| 1127s | from this cluster here |
| 1130s | that is in the middle and then we have |
| 1131s | another one that spawned on the edge of |
| 1133s | the one cluster here |
| 1135s | and then we have a third one that is |
| 1137s | spawning here which is allowing these |
| 1139s | three to coexist way closer than they |
| 1141s | would normally do |
| 1144s | but it is making it enough of kind of a |
| 1147s | flavor event that it looks more natural |
| 1150s | and it feels more natural when you are |
| 1153s | walking around in the world |
| 1157s | and that's kind of true for everything |
| 1159s | and there's a couple of technical |
| 1162s | kind of technical hacks that you can do |
| 1164s | from a balanced perspective with dealing |
| 1167s | with these different variables and kind |
| 1169s | of these new criterias for plants so |
| 1173s | gonna clarify on this is not changing |
| 1176s | out or this system in itself is not |
| 1179s | changing out how plants can propagate or |
| 1183s | be planted or farmed |
| 1186s | it what it does is it's simply changing |
| 1188s | the behavior on how the they initially |
| 1190s | gets populated into the world which in |
| 1193s | turn has a massive impact on the |
| 1196s | availability the year location and |
| 1199s | the preference to where people want to |
| 1201s | live or generally kind of |
| 1205s | visit and explore more to be able to get |
| 1208s | all the crops that they need |
| 1214s | so |
| 1215s | as you can see here you got a couple of |
| 1217s | clusters you got a couple of groups |
| 1219s | and what if we have plants that we might |
| 1223s | not want to limit to specific clusters |
| 1225s | well |
| 1226s | we have a couple of those that we have |
| 1230s | set up from the start |
| 1232s | which one of them being a couple of the |
| 1235s | three variations |
| 1237s | that you kind of want to guarantee that |
| 1239s | they're always covering the whole biome |
| 1241s | rather than just pieces of the biome |
| 1244s | as well as the kelp for instance for |
| 1247s | the ocean |
| 1250s | so for kelp |
| 1252s | and I did the other thing and I will be |
| 1254s | showing a tech spreadsheet here in |
| 1258s | during this as we promised spreadsheets |
| 1260s | for a long time now in the different |
| 1262s | streams but haven't really lived up to |
| 1263s | it |
| 1265s | um |
| 1266s | here we have kelp for instance where |
| 1268s | I've set the entirety of the world to be |
| 1271s | one cluster |
| 1273s | and then it's simply spreading these |
| 1275s | groups in different variation sizes |
| 1279s | along the entire water |
| 1282s | so these are spawning in clusters and |
| 1284s | you don't have them randomly spawning in |
| 1286s | in a giant bread of patches so |
| 1291s | we go into the water here you see you |
| 1293s | have a couple of loose ones spawning |
| 1296s | um and that's also a variable that we |
| 1299s | can show off as well that's working |
| 1302s | so that you do have like |
| 1304s | piece here and there and a couple of |
| 1306s | things overall and then you have these |
| 1308s | bigger |
| 1310s | kind of groupings of them |
| 1315s | rather than having the entirety of this |
| 1318s | ocean to be just crammed with them |
| 1322s | and this has been sort of an ongoing |
| 1324s | experimentation |
| 1327s | um to make sure that we have these kind |
| 1329s | of kelp forests looking things |
| 1332s | I am aware that the kelp is looking a |
| 1334s | bit sad but we have |
| 1336s | we have something cooking for it and |
| 1338s | I've |
| 1339s | talked it through with Milenko and he |
| 1342s | has some ideas on how to do it from the |
| 1344s | art side so we might see some |
| 1346s | improvements for those later on as well |
| 1351s | yeah you have a lot more |
| 1353s | kind of environmental Randomness to |
| 1358s | how these crops are spawning and how the |
| 1360s | plants are kind of propagating and then |
| 1362s | going off in terms of the initial world |
| 1365s | eating |
| 1368s | and as we follow that you can see the |
| 1370s | desert here it's not a |
| 1373s | massive Yoshua Forest anymore |
| 1378s | but the desert is a lot more scarce |
| 1381s | which means you can't build |
| 1384s | the infinite amount of |
| 1386s | giant wooden structures without actually |
| 1388s | going back to the forest and kind of |
| 1390s | importing or transporting it over it and |
| 1392s | this was also one of one of the |
| 1396s | big important |
| 1398s | changes that we felt that we really |
| 1400s | wanted to happen |
| 1403s | where you just the desert just contained |
| 1406s | too much and I think that's partially |
| 1409s | true for all of the biomes |
| 1412s | and we have some |
| 1415s | some prickle pairs that likes to live on |
| 1417s | the edge here uh |
| 1420s | we're closer to uh |
| 1422s | to the wet areas of the biome |
| 1425s | we have the barrel cactuses are now |
| 1428s | spawning in small groups as well |
| 1430s | and personally I think everything just |
| 1433s | it just feels more |
| 1436s | um it feels more even with less |
| 1439s | that makes sense |
| 1444s | yeah that's that's desert and we got the |
| 1446s | grassland you can see we're back in the |
| 1448s | corn area |
| 1450s | and one of the risks that is kind of |
| 1454s | analyzed risk |
| 1456s | um as we've we've had versions of eco |
| 1458s | prior that were really really really |
| 1461s | scarce in terms of resources where |
| 1465s | it it turned into brutal brutal PVP |
| 1468s | almost where people would scavenge crops |
| 1471s | as soon as they could just because they |
| 1473s | really wanted to make sure that they got |
| 1475s | all the huckleberries on the map |
| 1477s | so people would claim land next to them |
| 1481s | hoping that it would spread to their |
| 1482s | property to be able to get access to it |
| 1484s | because they had |
| 1485s | vicious economical Monopoly on them |
| 1491s | and moving towards |
| 1493s | that level is probably not something |
| 1495s | that we are |
| 1497s | particularly |
| 1499s | gunning for but at the same time we also |
| 1503s | realized that it is really hard to kill |
| 1505s | off the crops and and plants in general |
| 1507s | and not just because there's too much of |
| 1509s | them in the world |
| 1511s | so |
| 1512s | we're trying to kind of Meet the middle |
| 1514s | ground there where they're scarceed |
| 1516s | enough to be really important to keep |
| 1520s | um producing and then keep making sure |
| 1522s | that they um |
| 1524s | expand and are available to the general |
| 1527s | population that is coming in maybe day |
| 1529s | two day three day four |
| 1531s | but at the same time if someone is |
| 1533s | really determined to really go out to |
| 1535s | grab all the beats in the world |
| 1538s | or if there's a collaborate effort to |
| 1540s | just make sure that |
| 1542s | they have all the uh all the corn or or |
| 1545s | something else |
| 1547s | that should also be kind of an option |
| 1551s | and then obviously you know laws and |
| 1553s | rules and regulations kind of come into |
| 1554s | that as well where they might be able to |
| 1557s | incentivize repopulation of that crop in |
| 1560s | that area because the animals are |
| 1562s | dependent on those crops |
| 1565s | so somewhere you might see a poor elk |
| 1568s | dying off because there's not enough |
| 1570s | barriers to eat or |
| 1573s | um |
| 1574s | things in those ranges where we're |
| 1576s | moving more |
| 1577s | animal dependency on certain crops |
| 1581s | and |
| 1586s | here we have a next |
| 1589s | next kind of biome that I've spent |
| 1592s | they kind of finished tweaking |
| 1594s | making sure that the rice was playing |
| 1596s | nice I was having some issues with the |
| 1598s | temperature gauging of it |
| 1600s | but now you got |
| 1602s | I'm clustering of the cotton I'm got the |
| 1605s | Button Bush being clustered up as well |
| 1607s | and and kind of spreading out you do |
| 1609s | have more gaps in between |
| 1612s | and as you can see it is completely |
| 1614s | devoid of the mushrooms |
| 1617s | and |
| 1619s | I said we've got the crimini mushrooms |
| 1621s | that are spawning radically inside the |
| 1623s | grassland |
| 1626s | and they are bordering a little bit into |
| 1628s | the forest here |
| 1630s | and you've got pumpkins spawning in the |
| 1633s | worm Forest so they'll be spawning |
| 1635s | around |
| 1637s | that my moistured areas you've got the |
| 1639s | canvas bulbs here as well giving a bit |
| 1641s | of a |
| 1642s | flowery look to it and some some breakup |
| 1645s | in the um |
| 1647s | green monotony color |
| 1653s | but as you can say as you can tell it is |
| 1659s | it is more clean |
| 1660s | um it is more sporadic in terms of where |
| 1663s | you can find the crops |
| 1666s | yeah I know that's one plant isn't the |
| 1669s | um the mushroom land anymore |
| 1671s | you've got some Amanita mushrooms there |
| 1675s | and this is true for all the biomes so |
| 1678s | I did want the warm Forest to kind of |
| 1681s | have this Lush Greenery point to it |
| 1684s | which makes it it at the moment it's |
| 1687s | kind of difficult to gauge whether or |
| 1688s | not you're going from grassland into |
| 1690s | warm Forest but that's also art of |
| 1694s | the aesthetic |
| 1696s | um that I've wanted with it |
| 1699s | so you don't have this distinct huge |
| 1702s | order |
| 1703s | Gap where it's just like completely |
| 1706s | changed up |
| 1708s | and so if we head over into the Tega |
| 1711s | area past the desert here |
| 1714s | move on to the opposite end of the |
| 1716s | grassland where we're moving into the |
| 1717s | cold forest and |
| 1719s | we've got the bullied mushrooms that are |
| 1721s | coming in here and the salal plants |
| 1724s | and this is where you get more of a |
| 1725s | scarcity due to the cold weather |
| 1732s | you've got |
| 1734s | and fern is one of the common plants so |
| 1736s | that does grow in both Forest types |
| 1739s | and then you've got the beans here you |
| 1742s | also have huckleberries |
| 1745s | um which are more a lot more scarce than |
| 1748s | they were before |
| 1750s | so I am expecting farmers and gatherers |
| 1753s | to kind of coexist a little bit in |
| 1756s | agreeing between |
| 1757s | consumption of wild plants versus |
| 1760s | propagating and farming and making sure |
| 1762s | that you get Fields going because they |
| 1764s | will |
| 1765s | read and populate on their own of course |
| 1768s | but it is |
| 1771s | um you know you imagine you're following |
| 1774s | through here and you've got |
| 1775s | 20 30 40 different players that all |
| 1778s | wants to consume the same amount of |
| 1779s | resources |
| 1781s | if you're not careless on the initial |
| 1784s | days in terms of making sure that you |
| 1787s | get some of those forms going you might |
| 1789s | actually run out of these crops and |
| 1791s | you'll start to struggle which is part |
| 1794s | of the design goal we want to make sure |
| 1796s | that it's |
| 1798s | gonna |
| 1799s | pushed towards more sustainable arming |
| 1803s | and sustainable consumption |
| 1805s | and that we really haven't had in nine |
| 1807s | at all so that's something I'm looking |
| 1809s | forward to this feedback on and |
| 1812s | you know screenshots from either great |
| 1813s | successes or horrible failures |
| 1817s | and also cut down some of the plants in |
| 1820s | the Tega biome to make sure that it kind |
| 1822s | of reflects and looks the same way as |
| 1824s | the rest of them |
| 1827s | uh just moving along here |
| 1830s | and I'll skip over into the really |
| 1832s | technical things |
| 1834s | yeah it's really a matter of picking |
| 1837s | short making sure that you're picking |
| 1838s | the crops before you fell the trees |
| 1840s | because you can't be completely |
| 1842s | irresponsible to |
| 1844s | like you know all but there's there's |
| 1845s | 200 other corn over there so I'll just |
| 1847s | you know don't care about these two |
| 1849s | those two might save your life here |
| 1852s | foreign |
| 1854s | but yeah I know I'm I'm quite happy with |
| 1859s | um how it turned out and I'm hoping that |
| 1861s | it's gonna be a |
| 1864s | a huge impact on everyone's gameplay |
| 1866s | um for hopefully mostly positive |
| 1869s | experience |
| 1871s | and uh |
| 1876s | yeah it's it's been a it's been a ride |
| 1879s | trying to get this planned stuff to work |
| 1881s | and making sure that it looks all right |
| 1883s | and |
| 1885s | it's populating |
| 1887s | um |
| 1892s | or you kind of go on to the plant thing |
| 1896s | so |
| 1898s | just to kind of reiterate that this is |
| 1900s | something that we did to |
| 1902s | we did this to make sure that the |
| 1905s | initial plant worldly unspawn Works |
| 1907s | nicely and kind of fits into the world |
| 1910s | eyes scale so |
| 1913s | these clusters that we shown you here |
| 1917s | uh let's see if we're gonna do |
| 1920s | what do we want to do let's do Beats |
| 1923s | so these clusters |
| 1926s | are dynamically scaling in size with the |
| 1929s | world size so if you make these if you |
| 1932s | generate a lot bigger world |
| 1935s | um these will be a lot bigger to kind of |
| 1937s | compass and and be affected by that |
| 1941s | and that in itself will allow more |
| 1943s | groups to be spawned |
| 1946s | um |
| 1947s | into it |
| 1948s | um |
| 1950s | B here |
| 1953s | um the world is a default nice one so |
| 1955s | this is 0.52 kilometers |
| 1959s | and I can grab an example here from |
| 1965s | if we grab got a screenshot from |
| 1968s | a |
| 1971s | do that |
| 1975s | so this is |
| 1978s | that too |
| 1980s | much here this is a scale on |
| 1985s | um a white tiger |
| 1989s | 2.56 kilometers so this is at the moment |
| 1991s | our our biggest supported worlds |
| 1995s | and this is how corn has spawned on that |
| 1998s | one and I've done no changes to the corn |
| 2002s | from my small world and I have right now |
| 2005s | um to |
| 2007s | this one in itself so this covers you |
| 2009s | know like a sixth of the grassland |
| 2012s | um and it works the same way this was |
| 2014s | just |
| 2015s | before we uh we |
| 2017s | did the additional range limit view on |
| 2020s | the Clusters but here you can see the |
| 2022s | different variation sizes in the |
| 2023s | Clusters |
| 2026s | um and they spawn a different amount in |
| 2029s | each grouping of course |
| 2032s | and if you compare it to where we're at |
| 2035s | now |
| 2039s | you have these kind of you know they're |
| 2041s | they're proportionally the same size |
| 2043s | depending on the world scale |
| 2049s | hoping that |
| 2051s | answers that question |
| 2057s | and where were I |
| 2063s | the seats for decorative plants um are |
| 2066s | you talking about making them like |
| 2070s | actual pickable and crafting into seeds |
| 2073s | so you can like plant them further or |
| 2077s | is to kind of clarify that |
| 2079s | um |
| 2080s | they don't have specific items or or |
| 2084s | um like when you pick a flower |
| 2086s | it turns into plant fiber because there |
| 2088s | is no specific item for that specific |
| 2091s | plant |
| 2093s | um so it's not really |
| 2096s | breathable in that sense |
| 2100s | it is some it is a good idea and we do |
| 2102s | want more kind of decorative |
| 2104s | environmental plants so it might be |
| 2106s | something that we take up |
| 2110s | um but not for 10 as it's going to |
| 2112s | require more assets and icons and Myriad |
| 2115s | of other things and we're gonna |
| 2117s | kind of swamped in terms of our workload |
| 2119s | for that so |
| 2121s | um quite possible for post them |
| 2128s | um |
| 2130s | uh I mean these the seeds do kind of |
| 2133s | exist in code so it wouldn't be too |
| 2135s | far-fetched if |
| 2137s | you would create just a small recipe mod |
| 2140s | for say turning plant fibers into these |
| 2142s | different seeds |
| 2144s | um but from a vanilla implementation |
| 2147s | point |
| 2148s | probably not gonna happen until after 10 |
| 2152s | has been released |
| 2156s | um yeah I think I've I've rented on |
| 2158s | quite a bit over how |
| 2160s | how these things have been changed and |
| 2163s | how they're looking I kind of wanted to |
| 2164s | go over the technical details for |
| 2168s | how to calibrate this |
| 2172s | um if you do wanted to change it |
| 2174s | yourself or from a server management |
| 2177s | perspective |
| 2180s | [Music] |
| 2181s | um |
| 2184s | we can bring up this this monstrosity |
| 2186s | here |
| 2187s | so this is my |
| 2191s | spreadsheet that we're working on for |
| 2193s | when we're editing |
| 2196s | when we're editing these plants and then |
| 2198s | all the items in the game and |
| 2201s | Excel sheets |
| 2203s | um when we're doing changes to different |
| 2206s | things that are automatically generated |
| 2208s | which is what's referred to as content |
| 2210s | inside the autogen folder |
| 2213s | um or the server |
| 2216s | all of this is kind of fetched and kind |
| 2218s | of printed automatically which is why |
| 2220s | we're using in Excel to kind of keep all |
| 2222s | the data structure correctly |
| 2223s | and for the new plant system |
| 2227s | we have these what is it like |
| 2230s | 12 things I think it is |
| 2234s | um which |
| 2236s | kind of going over here in a second but |
| 2239s | um this is kind of how it's looking when |
| 2240s | I'm setting these up so you've got |
| 2242s | temperatures and everything and the cell |
| 2243s | the dayline levels and all that |
| 2246s | and then you have all of these kind of |
| 2248s | variables that gets plugged in and this |
| 2250s | will be determining how it's spawning |
| 2251s | where it's spawning |
| 2253s | which biome it's deferring to the size |
| 2257s | of the cluster the radius size in all |
| 2259s | accounts and |
| 2262s | um |
| 2263s | all of that kind of things |
| 2265s | so how is this looking inside the actual |
| 2268s | ripped well |
| 2270s | do this here |
| 2276s | do that let me know if it's legible |
| 2280s | hard to tell on my preview |
| 2285s | so inside |
| 2287s | plant folder or the the specific plant |
| 2291s | that you are looking into |
| 2294s | which is inside the server mods or |
| 2297s | folder altogen and then the plant folder |
| 2301s | um hold plant types now have this new |
| 2305s | generation |
| 2306s | or previously it just had the height for |
| 2309s | it but now it has all of these new |
| 2311s | parameters that allows you to kind of |
| 2313s | dictate how you want these to be working |
| 2316s | so you've got the chance to be spawned |
| 2319s | outside of the group and this is a |
| 2321s | percentage |
| 2322s | one to zero |
| 2325s | um |
| 2326s | on the frequency chance that a plant |
| 2329s | decides to not be a part of a group and |
| 2332s | just spawn outside the group somewhere |
| 2334s | in the valid area |
| 2337s | and then you have minimum distance |
| 2339s | between the groups |
| 2340s | so that is |
| 2343s | um |
| 2344s | doing this as reference and at the same |
| 2347s | time |
| 2349s | with the kelp yes |
| 2353s | the valid distance between the groups is |
| 2355s | between these two points |
| 2358s | and this is in tile radius |
| 2360s | so this is going to be 25 tiles up to a |
| 2364s | maximum distance of 40 tiles |
| 2367s | as the center the distance between the |
| 2370s | center points of these two groups |
| 2374s | and then you have the direct amount of |
| 2376s | actual crops allowed to be planted in |
| 2379s | that group so this is a low value to a |
| 2381s | high value same as the other ones |
| 2384s | and this is allowing us to be making |
| 2386s | sure that it is a minimum of eight rice |
| 2389s | plants |
| 2390s | assuming that it is |
| 2392s | habitably safe for those eight plants it |
| 2395s | might be a little bit lower if it |
| 2397s | decides to not |
| 2398s | be able to spawn all of those eight |
| 2401s | plants |
| 2403s | and then up to a top number of 16. |
| 2406s | and then for the rice |
| 2409s | um |
| 2410s | because I needed to make sure that the |
| 2412s | rice is contained inside the wetlands |
| 2415s | there's a combination of things |
| 2417s | happening here |
| 2418s | that if we grab |
| 2421s | the pumpkin |
| 2427s | as the pumpkin has actual Aster's asset |
| 2432s | so here you can see that the counter |
| 2433s | cluster is three to seven and that is |
| 2436s | the amount of big blobs that the groups |
| 2439s | can spawn in which is a fantastic |
| 2440s | technical term I promise you |
| 2444s | and |
| 2446s | that is |
| 2448s | um |
| 2449s | pumpkin |
| 2451s | if we grab this for instance |
| 2453s | um |
| 2454s | you see that we've got three clusters |
| 2456s | going on here |
| 2458s | and these are overlapping a little bit |
| 2460s | and that's perfectly fine |
| 2463s | and so it spawned the minimum amount of |
| 2465s | clusters that it can on this map |
| 2468s | and then it can spawn an excess |
| 2471s | and then you've got the radius of the |
| 2473s | group which is the |
| 2475s | the conference of the actual group |
| 2479s | so this if you do want to be changing |
| 2481s | this and kind of testing it around you |
| 2483s | might need to be tweaking this a little |
| 2485s | bit back and forth and testing it |
| 2487s | and then you have the total percentage |
| 2490s | world scale |
| 2492s | these clusters are sized in |
| 2495s | and this is where |
| 2498s | um and of course you've got this start |
| 2500s | biome which is a way to determine |
| 2504s | that a plant is only allowed to start in |
| 2507s | this biome |
| 2508s | but it may be habitably |
| 2511s | acceptable in multiple biomes so the |
| 2514s | mushrooms for instance they can be |
| 2516s | placed and planted in four different |
| 2518s | biomes but because |
| 2521s | um because this is set to warm forest |
| 2524s | for one of them and cold forest or the |
| 2526s | other they're simply not allowed to |
| 2528s | initially spawn here |
| 2532s | um |
| 2533s | so for |
| 2535s | and and this is I'll be going over three |
| 2537s | different ways to make sure that |
| 2541s | um |
| 2543s | uh these numbers before scaling for |
| 2546s | World size yeah so this is the value for |
| 2548s | the world size so |
| 2551s | um |
| 2552s | we take corn for instance |
| 2558s | I think I had this slightly I had to add |
| 2560s | it on five and a routine so |
| 2562s | this value here is the size of the |
| 2565s | cluster in the world and as you can see |
| 2567s | I have slightly different variables for |
| 2568s | the counter clusters |
| 2570s | as well as the minimum distance on the |
| 2572s | groups to make sure that they're they're |
| 2574s | a bit further apart |
| 2577s | but this is scaling because from from |
| 2580s | zero to one and |
| 2584s | if we go into the rise you can see that |
| 2586s | I have this set as one to one and that |
| 2589s | is because I wanted the rice cluster to |
| 2591s | cover the entire planet |
| 2594s | um just to make sure that I covered the |
| 2596s | whole biome and not just a random chance |
| 2599s | of a piece of the biome um and this was |
| 2602s | specifically for the rice in the |
| 2603s | wetlands because Wetlands is just a sub |
| 2606s | biome |
| 2607s | um |
| 2608s | if we're looking at Rice |
| 2613s | you can see that the entire world is |
| 2615s | blue |
| 2617s | that is because the entire world is a |
| 2619s | singular cluster |
| 2621s | and then it's spawning the rice |
| 2624s | um inside the biome that is available |
| 2627s | and limited to in that |
| 2630s | order point |
| 2633s | so I'm only allowing it to start in |
| 2635s | Wetlands if I'd remove this it would be |
| 2637s | spawning all over the place in both the |
| 2640s | the warmer Forest as well as the |
| 2642s | grassland which |
| 2645s | which is a new thing |
| 2648s | in terms of restrictiveness so |
| 2651s | previously a lot of the plants were |
| 2653s | temperature balanced to be forced to |
| 2657s | spawn into certain biomes so |
| 2660s | things would have a range of a specific |
| 2664s | habitability to make sure that it's only |
| 2667s | available to spawn inside a certain |
| 2669s | biome type |
| 2671s | whereas now we can well we can pull back |
| 2674s | a bit on that and allow more plants to |
| 2676s | be spawned in different biomes because |
| 2678s | we have this new variable that allows us |
| 2680s | to completely limit where things are |
| 2683s | kind of cropping up in the initial push |
| 2687s | and then kind of let these dynamically |
| 2689s | grow and spread as they |
| 2691s | um habitably can or by players that |
| 2694s | wants to be farming this |
| 2696s | elsewhere |
| 2701s | uh |
| 2703s | yeah chemical as a question being modern |
| 2706s | chemical industry relies on a multitude |
| 2708s | of strange and rare plants |
| 2711s | um |
| 2712s | it is a prospect |
| 2715s | but it's also kind of part of a whole |
| 2718s | and a segment of |
| 2720s | um |
| 2722s | like a a completely different set of |
| 2727s | um industrial Branch if you will |
| 2732s | rather than mechanical Branch it's it's |
| 2734s | a whole different subject so that would |
| 2736s | be |
| 2738s | um |
| 2739s | an interesting aspect and an area to |
| 2741s | kind of look into |
| 2745s | um but it is also really really big |
| 2747s | because it's something that wouldn't be |
| 2749s | touched lightly |
| 2751s | um it is |
| 2753s | um it has an in a unique |
| 2755s | importance but at the same time it also |
| 2758s | has some unique impacts which we do |
| 2761s | would want to reflect properly so |
| 2766s | like things like that is always kind of |
| 2769s | rotating around in terms of design and |
| 2772s | on the planning board and kind of |
| 2773s | debated and then |
| 2775s | pushed around |
| 2777s | but it is something that we also don't |
| 2778s | want to touch until we know that we can |
| 2780s | do it correctly and in a way that we |
| 2782s | want to be representative in the game |
| 2786s | um |
| 2789s | another question being is there any |
| 2792s | plans to change slash buff the wild |
| 2794s | Gathering talents on gatherers |
| 2798s | um there will likely be some Talent |
| 2800s | changes |
| 2801s | along the way because we do have some |
| 2803s | ideas for |
| 2805s | the general Talent upgrade |
| 2808s | um |
| 2809s | want to add some new unique ones for the |
| 2811s | crafting rather than |
| 2813s | a copy pasting over from one to another |
| 2815s | but it is |
| 2817s | it there are there are plans for them |
| 2821s | um but I'm not gonna be uh |
| 2825s | not gonna go into them too much here |
| 2827s | because of |
| 2829s | um just want to finalize plans and make |
| 2832s | sure that |
| 2834s | I'm not speaking out of terms into what |
| 2837s | we have planned versus what might not |
| 2838s | happen so I'm just gonna |
| 2842s | not go into that at the moment |
| 2847s | um yeah so |
| 2850s | got lost there |
| 2852s | um where were I |
| 2856s | um so there's kind of three ways to go |
| 2858s | about this uh one being you had the |
| 2861s | general kind of cluster and these are |
| 2864s | spawning and propagating in different |
| 2865s | areas as we saw I've seen we've seen |
| 2868s | with the corn |
| 2870s | and then you have this way of |
| 2872s | um you have the entire world |
| 2873s | representative as one biome or one |
| 2875s | cluster and then filters out where it's |
| 2878s | allowed to prop up uh based on the biome |
| 2882s | selection |
| 2884s | and then you have something that |
| 2886s | visually doesn't really look nice on |
| 2887s | that map |
| 2889s | um but it is necessary nonetheless |
| 2892s | and that is if you specify to make sure |
| 2895s | that it doesn't exist any cluster in the |
| 2898s | world at all |
| 2900s | and then you just |
| 2901s | allow it allow the plant to override the |
| 2904s | cluster functionality completely which |
| 2907s | then makes it behave a bit more like the |
| 2909s | old land system |
| 2912s | I believe it was |
| 2915s | let's actually check |
| 2921s | did I do |
| 2923s | I got the couple ones here so we've got |
| 2925s | here lichen and desert Moss |
| 2929s | here |
| 2933s | we got this for instance where I'm |
| 2935s | overriding the cluster restrictions and |
| 2937s | it's allowed to just spawn anywhere at a |
| 2940s | random rate |
| 2942s | inside the um |
| 2945s | Old Forest or the the tiger Tundra area |
| 2949s | as you can see it this map doesn't |
| 2951s | really help you in a lot in terms of |
| 2954s | like how it's spawning the groups |
| 2955s | because the entire thing is like random |
| 2957s | groups all over because it doesn't have |
| 2959s | any restrictions |
| 2961s | but it is a |
| 2962s | another way to kind of make sure that |
| 2964s | you have these |
| 2967s | um |
| 2968s | here |
| 2970s | you're kind of making sure that you have |
| 2971s | this layer coverage of the entire biome |
| 2975s | where you don't have any restrictions |
| 2977s | you want to impose on it other than |
| 2979s | you know it gets shopped out of the way |
| 2981s | when you have other plants cropping up |
| 2983s | but you want to |
| 2985s | make sure that it is available all over |
| 2988s | the place |
| 2989s | without any specific kind of |
| 2992s | superficial restrictions on it |
| 2997s | and I I did choose herbal plan to kind |
| 3000s | of showcase it because it's murky green |
| 3002s | on murky green apologize for that |
| 3007s | um |
| 3008s | but we got the desert Moss being the |
| 3010s | same |
| 3011s | um first do same thing as well but I |
| 3013s | think fur might be looking a little bit |
| 3015s | more horrendous on the map |
| 3018s | here we go |
| 3020s | so as you can see here it's kind of |
| 3022s | propagating it and it looks kind of |
| 3025s | um it looks kind of even but it is also |
| 3028s | randomly placing it adjacent inside |
| 3030s | these borders so they're not |
| 3033s | they're not symmetrical even though they |
| 3036s | might be looking like it so this is a |
| 3038s | bit of a |
| 3040s | it looks a bit false |
| 3046s | but as you can see here they're not |
| 3047s | really |
| 3048s | they're not really straight and it's |
| 3050s | kind of planted where they make sense |
| 3051s | for the rest of the habitability |
| 3053s | restrictions |
| 3055s | as well as the um you specify how many |
| 3059s | plants you're looking at and that'll |
| 3061s | kind of |
| 3062s | throw kerbals into it and make it more |
| 3064s | natural looking |
| 3068s | huh yeah we're running up to |
| 3071s | close to an hour of me just babbling on |
| 3074s | about plants which I guess is a positive |
| 3077s | effect that considering the um |
| 3080s | title of the game so we are |
| 3083s | as you can tell with this one we are |
| 3084s | moving back more in towards focusing on |
| 3088s | some of the environmental changes some |
| 3090s | of the worldly unchanges |
| 3094s | and |
| 3096s | or into just just the environment in |
| 3099s | general |
| 3100s | we've got a lot of things in Civics that |
| 3103s | is coming we've got a lot of things and |
| 3106s | attacked away and finalized in during |
| 3109s | our |
| 3110s | update progression through the entire |
| 3112s | nine series |
| 3115s | um so we are kind of happy to to do more |
| 3117s | focus on to |
| 3118s | just plants and |
| 3121s | General environmental balance so |
| 3125s | more Focus to that |
| 3127s | um |
| 3127s | and uh yeah I think we've got one or two |
| 3132s | more questions and then I'm probably |
| 3133s | gonna |
| 3134s | wrap this up for the evening |
| 3138s | um in what what is the order for |
| 3141s | inter-species plants to spawn in case of |
| 3143s | overlapping which one will be decided to |
| 3146s | be spawned uh it does a bit of a tug of |
| 3149s | war |
| 3151s | so depending on and this is something |
| 3154s | that kind of gets calibrated in with the |
| 3156s | with these settings as well |
| 3159s | use the um the straight code just |
| 3161s | because it looks neat sneaker than the |
| 3162s | Excel I think for visualization |
| 3165s | so for a group you set the specific size |
| 3170s | of the group itself |
| 3172s | and then you specify |
| 3174s | how many plants are allowed to randomize |
| 3178s | generate inside that group setting |
| 3181s | so if your lowest sized group |
| 3185s | contains less plants than your highest |
| 3188s | count plants in group |
| 3191s | then you are gonna end up with kind of |
| 3193s | these very symmetrical squared patches |
| 3198s | because the entire tile is filled with |
| 3201s | plants |
| 3202s | and that will allow |
| 3204s | that'll just prevent other plants from |
| 3207s | kind of intertwining and be mixed in a |
| 3209s | bit with it |
| 3210s | though I do recommend that |
| 3213s | you can keep a little bit of a curb on |
| 3216s | it so you you do end up with something |
| 3218s | similar to this here |
| 3220s | where this whole thing is a group |
| 3224s | but because it's not completely packed |
| 3226s | it it does allow |
| 3228s | some general mix in between |
| 3231s | um |
| 3233s | as for which group would take precedence |
| 3236s | I believe it |
| 3240s | it's not really |
| 3243s | um |
| 3246s | I will Almost Say alphabetical I can't |
| 3248s | really tell for sure |
| 3251s | because there is some hidden magic where |
| 3253s | it kind of loops around and |
| 3256s | thus multi-passes and it also depends on |
| 3258s | which biome it's in |
| 3260s | um so you know it might generate the |
| 3262s | desert and then it starts propagating |
| 3264s | and then checking the habitability |
| 3265s | levels |
| 3268s | um |
| 3269s | but I'd strongly recommend to not try to |
| 3271s | do this like super filled things |
| 3275s | um |
| 3277s | and other than other than the general |
| 3280s | super Reliant like the the superimposed |
| 3282s | rules and regulations for the groupings |
| 3284s | the plant spawning system in itself is |
| 3287s | still working |
| 3289s | fairly similar to how it's always worked |
| 3291s | before |
| 3292s | it does check for things like capacity |
| 3296s | it checks or habitability the moisture |
| 3298s | level the temperatures so that's your |
| 3301s | and a regulatory factor in terms of |
| 3304s | where plants would like to spawn |
| 3307s | and then you have these kind of group |
| 3309s | dynamic settings that overrides it |
| 3312s | um |
| 3313s | and adds a layer of restrictions on top |
| 3317s | of it to make sure that it spawns in |
| 3319s | these groups and not just willy-nilly |
| 3321s | all over the place |
| 3325s | uh |
| 3327s | foreign |
| 3331s | plans for other weapons besides both |
| 3334s | were hunting no |
| 3336s | I know that's not something that a lot |
| 3338s | of people wants to hear but we do have |
| 3340s | kind of a standpoint on |
| 3344s | um |
| 3346s | just generally things like firearms and |
| 3348s | and so on so forth It's been discussed |
| 3350s | quite a lot in in the modding Community |
| 3352s | as well as being requested quite a few |
| 3354s | times over on General Discord |
| 3357s | about the official General standpoint is |
| 3359s | that it's not gonna happen if someone |
| 3362s | wants to mount them in and kind of |
| 3364s | you know run with them on their server |
| 3366s | and do their own thing that's perfectly |
| 3369s | fine |
| 3370s | but it's not something that's going to |
| 3372s | be added from vanilla standpoint at |
| 3373s | least |
| 3376s | it just just kind of goes against what |
| 3380s | what the general design idea is and it's |
| 3383s | really disruptive |
| 3385s | even if even at kind of a muffled |
| 3389s | level it is kind of a nuisance if you |
| 3392s | suddenly start to hearing 40 people |
| 3394s | trying to run around in the forest |
| 3396s | shooting things with Firearms rather |
| 3398s | than just |
| 3399s | during a muffled little arrow going off |
| 3404s | uh will we be able to influence moisture |
| 3407s | and temperature with canals and |
| 3409s | greenhouses |
| 3410s | um greenhouses isn't a thing in vanilla |
| 3415s | um you do have some of it from the |
| 3417s | modding community |
| 3419s | and |
| 3421s | at the moment at least we feel like it |
| 3424s | is from our point of view at least it's |
| 3428s | an essential to get these core |
| 3430s | functionalities going first and |
| 3433s | making sure that the general environment |
| 3436s | impact is high enough |
| 3439s | if we're kind of poking into that more |
| 3443s | um |
| 3443s | moisture and temperature levels with |
| 3446s | canals and greenhouses or the just the |
| 3448s | canals in general is |
| 3452s | it's part of |
| 3453s | something that I'm conceptualizing for |
| 3457s | more subtype biomes as talking about |
| 3460s | biome generation and so on I do want to |
| 3463s | be |
| 3464s | having more of a general impact so |
| 3467s | instead of just reverse arbitrarily |
| 3470s | cannot drops down |
| 3474s | um on to the world I would like them to |
| 3476s | be their own type of biome that kind of |
| 3479s | gets |
| 3480s | um |
| 3482s | buckled through on the world so anytime |
| 3485s | you have a river you have a more |
| 3487s | impactful kind of greenery around the |
| 3490s | specific |
| 3491s | area but it's not something that's |
| 3495s | um likely go into 10 but it is it is a |
| 3498s | constant Improvement and something that |
| 3500s | is |
| 3502s | um |
| 3503s | it's something that we constantly see |
| 3505s | from when we're doing improvements to |
| 3507s | the environmental |
| 3508s | um |
| 3509s | out of things |
| 3513s | um as for animal husbandry I do have a |
| 3516s | stream where we talked a little bit over |
| 3518s | it |
| 3520s | um went over some some of the some of |
| 3522s | the flow shorts with some ideas and |
| 3524s | drafts for it so it is it is being |
| 3527s | planned for |
| 3529s | there hasn't really been anything |
| 3531s | starting for it but it is outside of |
| 3534s | Canada |
| 3536s | Drafting and planning and and you know |
| 3538s | from my end making sure that it we cover |
| 3541s | our Corners in terms of what we want to |
| 3544s | accomplish with it how it's supposed to |
| 3546s | be interactive in terms of gameplay |
| 3549s | um and another role it's supposed to |
| 3551s | fill in |
| 3554s | um in its impact in the environment and |
| 3558s | um |
| 3558s | kind of the cycle of improvements from |
| 3561s | back and forth |
| 3567s | um and yeah that and uh |
| 3571s | goes into the um |
| 3575s | um the answer for a question regarding |
| 3577s | industrialized scale the production of |
| 3579s | things like meat slash wool and and all |
| 3583s | produce and |
| 3584s | protein acquisition and so on so forth |
| 3593s | um |
| 3599s | it actually might |
| 3602s | I'm kind of terrified to test it now |
| 3603s | because it might explode I do know that |
| 3606s | um it I think it's limited to plants it |
| 3608s | would be |
| 3610s | um but there is |
| 3612s | there is an interesting side effect |
| 3613s | because the the clams and urchins are |
| 3616s | actually plants in terms of code so you |
| 3619s | could check clamps and |
| 3621s | um |
| 3622s | urchins there |
| 3625s | um but we will be adding more of these |
| 3627s | kind of debug commands that |
| 3629s | are available to users or to admins when |
| 3632s | it makes sense and when we have things |
| 3634s | that you can manipulate that |
| 3636s | would make those commands useful |
| 3639s | and animals will will get a proper pass |
| 3642s | when we do go into the animal husbandry |
| 3644s | and not working on it real |
| 3649s | um yeah |
| 3652s | I believe that's kind of everything I |
| 3655s | had to say about plants for this time |
| 3659s | um hope everyone enjoyed it hope it |
| 3660s | answered a few questions |
| 3662s | maybe it made it |
| 3666s | kind of arose a few others |
