| 5s | but to start we're going to show our new |
|---|---|
| 8s | biomes that we have in 8.00 yeah so |
| 12s | Keegan I'll just kind of talk us through |
| 14s | this stuff sir |
| 15s | yeah so 8.0 is going to be the start of |
| 19s | a big rollout of a whole revamp of |
| 21s | pretty much everything about you goes |
| 23s | natural world and the sort of phases of |
| 27s | that is world generation and how it |
| 30s | worlds are put together and then the |
| 32s | obvious extension of that is all the |
| 34s | content inside the world which is you |
| 37s | know structured into a collection of ion |
| 40s | so we're basically revamping you know |
| 42s | how it all fits together how it all |
| 45s | works and adding a ton of new content in |
| 48s | that process |
| 48s | so right now Walker is the grasslands |
| 52s | and one thing you'll notice right away |
| 54s | is that we noticed a much taller grass |
| 56s | one of the goals with grasslands is that |
| 59s | we want to have a part of it and get the |
| 61s | feeling of like a prairie a lot of our |
| 64s | biomes are influenced or inspired by |
| 66s | North American biomes so a tall grass |
| 70s | prairie is a really great inspiration |
| 73s | for an ecosystem so we're going for that |
| 76s | there's going to be the switchgrass |
| 78s | there will also be a big boost of |
| 80s | species of grass so we're really looking |
| 82s | at each biome individually and fleshing |
| 84s | it out with new plans and new animals |
| 86s | and trees and what you'll notice as well |
| 90s | as new block types so we're going to be |
| 93s | reshuffling and revamping a lot of the |
| 95s | block types that are in you go as well |
| 97s | and one of the big things that will tie |
| 100s | into eventually is mining so there won't |
| 102s | just be generic stone anymore will |
| 104s | actually have different types of rock |
| 106s | and different types of ore will be |
| 108s | hosted in their post rocks and located |
| 110s | based on those rocks and that'll be a |
| 113s | thing that appears you know per biome so |
| 116s | you'll have different biomes and |
| 117s | different resources to help encourage |
| 119s | exploration and this patch 8.0 is that a |
| 123s | big start of that process getting all |
| 128s | so yeah well you got to show isn't this |
| 133s | these rivers you'll notice are a lot |
| 136s | better-looking one of the things we're |
| 137s | improving in world generation is lakes |
| 140s | and rivers the rivers now actually go |
| 142s | right up to the bank they can still form |
| 145s | in a valley but then they'll also have |
| 146s | their thanks a lot better than we are |
| 149s | River Canyon or big thing we only money |
| 153s | with this update was just have a much |
| 154s | different booming plate in the |
| 157s | environment so as you're moving from |
| 160s | location to location the biomes feel |
| 163s | really different plans animal define |
| 165s | Americans we really different like |
| 168s | putting up a town on one side of the |
| 169s | world firstly the other side of the |
| 171s | world you're gonna act on very different |
| 173s | thing you know the minerals and |
| 175s | resources that are only accessible in |
| 177s | certain areas and I just has all these |
| 180s | knock-on effects the rest of the game |
| 182s | too is like right now in the current |
| 185s | release you can get most ores you know |
| 187s | they're kind of spread out but they're |
| 189s | not too hard to get in terms of location |
| 191s | or is this you'll have more localized |
| 193s | places where you can only get this big |
| 195s | cooler plant in this location we're |
| 198s | gonna give this together wood or this |
| 199s | mineral so that just makes transport |
| 202s | that much more important it like you're |
| 204s | gonna want to have a little village you |
| 205s | know over by this particular spot that |
| 208s | lets you transport this other from the |
| 211s | rest of the world so yeah everything to |
| 215s | do with you going |
| 215s | we like connected into the whole |
| 218s | esplanade oh so it's a new big expansion |
| 222s | through our ecology system but it also |
| 223s | affects the economy where you're |
| 226s | deciding where build roads where to |
| 228s | transport how to trade advantage of |
| 231s | these resources that's one of the things |
| 234s | I like most about the game is how much |
| 235s | the systems like a full lap with each |
| 237s | other you change something like this and |
| 239s | it affects something as far away as like |
| 241s | loans from the government or whatever |
| 243s | and all kinds of things like that we |
| 247s | should check out the neighbor like |
| 248s | routes we have for the decoration so |
| 250s | this is the the forest biome yeah yeah |
| 253s | yeah so there's and one thing that's |
| 255s | kind of interesting is we're actually |
| 257s | splitting up some lands into |
| 259s | sometimes so forest for instance will |
| 262s | have a cold or expand the warm forest |
| 265s | cold forest will be like chroniker |
| 267s | forest where you fight for our trees the |
| 269s | more important will be more broadly but |
| 271s | you know with with each new biome and |
| 274s | sub I'll we're updating it so that they |
| 276s | each have their own top soils so like |
| 279s | warm biome has on top soil and what |
| 281s | you're seeing here is just the |
| 283s | decoration that we're starting to add to |
| 285s | the block type where they become this is |
| 292s | the new type features we've added 28.0 |
| 296s | so the idea with this is that plumbing |
| 298s | is going to be a new feature of the game |
| 302s | it's going to be this kind of community |
| 305s | project that you need to do with other |
| 306s | people in your village to set up access |
| 309s | to water and taking away wastes from |
| 313s | your crafting projects from your like |
| 315s | home items so this is a debug thing |
| 318s | we've spawned in here but these are what |
| 319s | the pipes look like and they're |
| 321s | mechanically powered so they will take |
| 323s | from a water source which right now I've |
| 326s | just spawned some water here to make it |
| 329s | easy to view and they'll be taken up |
| 332s | into the pump and then push into the |
| 333s | pump Network so you can see these pumps |
| 335s | here are supplying water to a series of |
| 340s | houses so here you can see the the pipes |
| 343s | go underground and they come up inside |
| 346s | of this workshop remember fly to get in |
| 350s | there so we're still setting up a lot of |
| 353s | this so some of this is debug but right |
| 354s | now we just have a test workbench that's |
| 356s | rigged up to take water and if you open |
| 359s | up the workbench here's our little test |
| 362s | recipe where you can see that it's it |
| 366s | needs to 300 water blocks and it's |
| 370s | slowly going up so if you click that |
| 371s | pipes component there you can see you |
| 376s | mouse over this tells you that water is |
| 378s | incoming from these different pumps and |
| 381s | if you mouse over the other one you see |
| 383s | that it's outputting waste at at this |
| 387s | particular rate so pretty much anything |
| 389s | that takes water is also gonna general |
| 391s | wastewater which becomes sewage and that |
| 395s | will pollute your environment but it can |
| 397s | all but you can deal with it in |
| 399s | different ways also so if you want to |
| 402s | fly through a little more walkers and |
| 404s | show so the same pump network actually |
| 406s | you want to fly in there ground and kind |
| 407s | of see the plumbing under there yeah so |
| 410s | all the plumbing has been rigged |
| 411s | underground so this will be a big like |
| 414s | community project where you have the |
| 417s | central water source and you need to |
| 418s | like bring pipes to all your buildings |
| 420s | collaborate with each other figure out |
| 422s | property rights for these kind of things |
| 424s | can be tricky so yeah it's something |
| 427s | that's like very collaborative feature |
| 429s | so we spawned four houses here that are |
| 432s | all taking water from the same plumbing |
| 435s | source and all outputting the same |
| 437s | sewage line so this sewage line here is |
| 440s | going off yes there's the fourth one and |
| 443s | then it goes up to this water filter so |
| 445s | this is a water filter here it's kind of |
| 449s | a late tier thing so in the beginnings |
| 451s | you basically just have to pump your |
| 453s | sewage somewhere and except it's gonna |
| 454s | pollute it but as you start getting |
| 457s | these filters you can start filtering |
| 458s | this water so if you open that up you |
| 461s | can see that this one is opposite its |
| 463s | input is sewage and its output is |
| 467s | why if you go to the status tab so the |
| 472s | way this works is as it's accepting |
| 474s | water as it accepts sewage it'll start |
| 481s | creating compost blocks at a certain |
| 485s | rate so every few seconds another |
| 487s | compost block gets generated and those |
| 491s | are stuck into this stockpile so right |
| 493s | now we don't have art for this yet |
| 495s | something Kiki's looking in it just like |
| 498s | crates but if you open up that stockpile |
| 500s | so these ones that are templated you can |
| 503s | see are the compost blocks they're being |
| 508s | generated from the wastewater so kind of |
| 511s | taking this waste product and turn it |
| 513s | into something that you'll be able to |
| 514s | use for farming and fertilizer so that's |
| 521s | another thing that you know you can kind |
| 523s | of omit the filtering step and it'll |
| 524s | just end up creating a lot of pollution |
| 526s | in your environment but you can also do |
| 529s | these extra kind of community projects |
| 531s | that will turn it into a positive okay |
| 535s | you want to talk a little bit about the |
| 536s | latest biome stuff maybe do some fly |
| 538s | rounds sure talk a bit about that we've |
| 544s | just finally gotten most of our new rock |
| 548s | types implemented in the game a lot of |
| 551s | them are still going to be in progress |
| 553s | for this first 8.0 patch flushed out to |
| 560s | start like limestone so yeah |
| 565s | all new slew of rock types we've added |
| 568s | sandstone limestone are the two ones |
| 571s | that are sort of closest to done and |
| 572s | we've also added so granite is the other |
| 576s | main default most common rock type |
| 578s | that's gonna be throughout the world but |
| 581s | we're also going to be having basalt |
| 583s | which I believe there was some limestone |
| 590s | over there to be right there |
| 592s | yeah there's a little patch of it there |
| 593s | it was also some sandstone next to it |
| 595s | right right here is probably a forward |
| 597s | between biomes |
| 598s | which I can use to talk about the fact |
| 602s | that lots of different rock types will |
| 604s | be sort of more or less prevalent based |
| 607s | on the biome time so I tried to in |
| 609s | general sort of associate different rock |
| 611s | types with their depositional |
| 613s | environments so like there's more |
| 614s | sandstone in the desert that's where the |
| 616s | sand is same for the beaches and |
| 618s | limestone which pretty much you go |
| 622s | anyways tends to form mostly from marine |
| 625s | organisms is all going to be located |
| 627s | around the coast with some exceptions |
| 630s | and yeah I usually fly around more and |
| 633s | see if you can find anything out perhaps |
| 635s | or something other than granite or maybe |
| 641s | in the opposite direction yeah and so |
| 647s | one of the other things is the rock |
| 650s | types will also be cool the more we do |
| 654s | with expanding them as Mineral Resources |
| 657s | in the game because each rocks |
| 660s | each Rock source is going to be |
| 662s | like a host for different resources let |
| 665s | me drop block rather so as you can see |
| 667s | there there is sandstone and then |
| 669s | there's also that more darkly band of |
| 672s | sandstone and that's actually the new |
| 673s | iron ore |
| 674s | so iron ore is now a good be gotten |
| 676s | pretty much exclusively for now from |
| 678s | sandstone roof in the real world |
| 681s | something like sixty percent of iron ore |
| 683s | comes from a thing called banded iron |
| 684s | formation which is all a sedimentary |
| 688s | deposit from a sort of a one-time event |
| 691s | in Earth's history that happened over a |
| 693s | few million years so a lot of the stuff |
| 696s | we're having with geology and eco is |
| 698s | inspired by real life just like the |
| 700s | biomes are inspired by a lot of North |
| 703s | Central and South American biomes that |
| 706s | exist in reality so it's gonna add a lot |
| 709s | to the richness of the world to have |
| 710s | these rock types as places where you |
| 714s | have more localized resources both |
| 717s | localized more to the biomes and also |
| 719s | more physically localized within you |
| 722s | know even just individual outcrops and |
| 724s | things like that having sort of a |
| 726s | certain certain deposits contained |
| 728s | within them yeah right now the granite |
| 732s | is going to be the house to gold and |
| 734s | copper to start as we go we can add more |
| 739s | more types of ore deposits |
| 743s | locations and create I think the funnest |
| 746s | and coolest thing will be that the more |
| 748s | things we have like this the more really |
| 750s | cool associations we can create you know |
| 752s | there's like obvious things like sand |
| 754s | and sandstone putting the same stone in |
| 757s | the desert but there's a lot more subtle |
| 759s | things that can really make the world |
| 761s | feel more interesting and rich and sort |
| 765s | of also you know hopefully inspire |
| 769s | people to learn about some of the really |
| 771s | fascinating complexity and the real-life |
| 773s | geology and things like that so yeah |
| 776s | it's been a lot of fun today to start |
| 777s | implementing this stuff I think you did |
| 780s | see some big more sheep in the distance |
| 782s | there oh yeah yeah there's one so this |
| 785s | isn't a manual and you may point out a |
| 787s | bighorn sheep and it's cool the the |
| 790s | sandstone in the game in the game right |
| 792s | now and also this bighorn sheep are |
| 794s | inspired by the the Southwest parts of |
| 798s | the United States so last year I took a |
| 801s | trip to Zion my girlfriend was working |
| 804s | as a park ranger in Zion National Park |
| 805s | and when I was there I saw a bighorn |
| 808s | sheep and it just these incredible |
| 810s | sandstone cliffs so that's kind of where |
| 812s | some of the real-life inspiration is |
| 814s | coming from |
| 821s | you |
