| 39s | you'll see and |
| 41s | election website for the server too |
| 45s | okay that's that's nice thanks uh James |
| 48s | and Adam so we're going to talk to them |
| 51s | in a moment but first as always a small |
| 54s | recap we are going to have streams every |
| 56s | week to talk about some features and |
| 58s | answer the questions you may have we are |
| 61s | also always open to feedback from the |
| 63s | community so let us know what you think |
| 65s | today's feature the twitch election |
| 68s | plugin is a work in progress so it may |
| 70s | have some modifications before it |
| 72s | becomes available we may also have some |
| 75s | small technical issues but yeah it may |
| 78s | happen on a work on progress so for the |
| 80s | last streams we got feedback for for the |
| 83s | economy viewer and the blocking system |
| 86s | so uh today we would appreciate if again |
| 90s | you take the time to participate on the |
| 93s | survey so on the top of the screen share |
| 97s | you will see a link so you can give us |
| 99s | feedback for the features that we are |
| 102s | going to talk today I mean we are going |
| 104s | to have feedback for civics and the |
| 107s | touch plugin but if you only have |
| 108s | feedback for one of them just feel part |
| 110s | of the form and submit it it will be |
| 112s | okay like that of course |
| 114s | so okay uh this room is going to be |
| 117s | divided into parts we are going to have |
| 119s | the Civics the look into Civics by genes |
| 123s | and then we will check the twitch |
| 125s | feature by Adam |
| 127s | so so okay let's start with with James |
| 129s | gents what do you have to tell us about |
| 131s | two weeks |
| 133s | um well we've we've gone over over |
| 135s | Civics in our streams up to nine where |
| 138s | we had a fundamental change in how you |
| 140s | kind of interacted with them and |
| 143s | um playing with them in game rather than |
| 144s | through the web browser uh primarily so |
| 148s | I'll go through a quick quick sort of |
| 151s | preview into how you set up a |
| 153s | constitution and add add a law add and |
| 157s | change how an election process is is |
| 160s | handled and |
| 162s | as we have sort of our default blank |
| 165s | that works towards the active |
| 167s | demographic |
| 169s | um but we're going to change that out to |
| 170s | make sure that it's everyone on the |
| 172s | server and not just the um |
| 174s | uh the active demographic that's used |
| 177s | um |
| 178s | I think we can dive straight into it |
| 182s | um and I'll you know also how that kind |
| 185s | of deals and changes with your potential |
| 188s | streamer audience |
| 190s | um in regards to the twitch plugin |
| 195s | uh so first off we have your basic |
| 198s | basic capital and this is using the |
| 201s | Legacy system so this is something that |
| 203s | um |
| 204s | any old player is going to recognize and |
| 205s | be |
| 206s | familiar with as we're still working on |
| 209s | the settlement features so those will be |
| 212s | sort of showed off in another stream |
| 215s | and you have your Capital which is |
| 217s | crafted through the carpentry table |
| 220s | and this is where you create your basic |
| 223s | Constitution |
| 225s | so when you first place this down you'll |
| 228s | have the Constitution and it'll pop up |
| 230s | as a draft that is not currently active |
| 232s | unless you know you have them you |
| 234s | already have a constitution on the |
| 236s | server and you're trying to |
| 238s | create a new one or replace it |
| 241s | and this contains a couple of |
| 244s | altered behaviors where we've bundled |
| 246s | all of the different Civic abilities |
| 248s | into one |
| 250s | wholesome coverage instead of having |
| 253s | eight different articles individually |
| 256s | for the basic setup making it a bit more |
| 259s | legible and hopefully a bit more |
| 262s | easy to approach in this regard |
| 267s | um |
| 268s | and to start your draft |
| 270s | um |
| 271s | you're gonna need to hit the starter |
| 273s | ratification election |
| 275s | and this will give you a pop-up saying |
| 277s | draft on Election to ratify it |
| 280s | once this process is started you can |
| 282s | also start adding different articles to |
| 284s | it or change the change different |
| 287s | variations of |
| 290s | properties of this constitution |
| 294s | so we start this and ignore the |
| 296s | achievements those are not ready either |
| 300s | it'll come up every now and then in the |
| 302s | background at the moment |
| 304s | so now we have ratification started and |
| 307s | if we want to do any adjustments to this |
| 311s | we've got |
| 312s | um |
| 313s | you can choose your demographics that |
| 315s | are allowed to propose different |
| 317s | articles or laws or changes to it and |
| 320s | then you have the election process which |
| 322s | is how it handles the election once it's |
| 324s | running who can vote on it who can veto |
| 327s | and cancel the election |
| 329s | how to handle ties and all these |
| 333s | different types of variations as well as |
| 335s | these different twitch interactions as |
| 337s | you can see |
| 340s | and to change any of that you're gonna |
| 342s | have to craft |
| 344s | which currently still in the capital for |
| 347s | the Legacy system but this these will be |
| 348s | in a different drafting table |
| 350s | um for the settlement features |
| 352s | um you're gonna need a Board of |
| 354s | Elections |
| 355s | and |
| 357s | you're gonna have to have a room that |
| 360s | can contain it and I'm still looking |
| 362s | into |
| 364s | how and and where we want to be |
| 366s | introducing these objects and in certain |
| 369s | volume and space requirements from the |
| 373s | balance perspective because we do want |
| 374s | to introduce these fairly early on but |
| 376s | still |
| 378s | um kind of have a requirement for a town |
| 380s | hall or a settlement |
| 385s | so once you have one of these placed |
| 388s | you've got three slots as for any Civic |
| 390s | object you start a draft process |
| 394s | and this gives you a rough copy and so |
| 398s | this starts off with the blank basic |
| 401s | uh presets which is what it's using for |
| 404s | the basic election process |
| 406s | this has the voters as active and we |
| 409s | wanted to change this to everyone |
| 412s | uh V tours will leave it blank and then |
| 415s | you can select and choose how to proceed |
| 418s | if the election ends up in a tie where |
| 420s | you can select a random candidate or |
| 422s | simply no winner at all |
| 424s | or incumbrant priority |
| 428s | which means if you have someone that's |
| 430s | holding a title |
| 432s | an elected title for instance where the |
| 436s | already sitting person would be the |
| 438s | preferable choice if it ends up in a tie |
| 441s | or the non-incarbon incumbent which |
| 444s | would be the opposite |
| 446s | um where you might want to force someone |
| 449s | to only have a certain amount of |
| 453s | you'd rather have a new person than the |
| 455s | previous sitting one |
| 458s | we'll leave that as random candidates |
| 460s | and then we'll kind of leave most of |
| 462s | these as blank |
| 464s | and you can change these out and then |
| 467s | set these to whatever you really want |
| 469s | for a specific type of election type |
| 473s | uh |
| 474s | we can select Anonymous voting this is |
| 476s | not default |
| 480s | for the basic one as you if you look |
| 483s | into the election you will be able to |
| 485s | see who voted what |
| 487s | but this is something that is selectable |
| 490s | and then you have for our twitch |
| 492s | interactions which Adam will come in on |
| 495s | um after I've sort of gone through and |
| 497s | and posted this you can also select what |
| 500s | type of weight attribution to those |
| 502s | votes twitch subscribers for |
| 505s | non-subscribers have in Impact wise |
| 507s | we'll leave these as blank just yeah |
| 509s | James I'm sorry that I interrupt you for |
| 511s | for a second so this last parameters |
| 515s | that we have |
| 518s | are actually some of the of the related |
| 521s | to some of the questions we already have |
| 522s | in the chat so as as you can see and uh |
| 526s | we will talk a little bit more about |
| 527s | this once uh Adam is is joining us |
| 531s | telling more about the twitch feature |
| 533s | but as you can see right now we can |
| 536s | decide if the feature is enabled and if |
| 539s | it is enabled we can decide what is the |
| 541s | weight of the boat that the twitch |
| 544s | subscriber would have so it should be |
| 547s | possible to to keep a balance for that |
| 550s | as I mentioned we are going to talk more |
| 552s | about this balance for the twitch |
| 554s | feature later but but as you can see |
| 556s | right now on Jen's explanation there are |
| 558s | some of the parameters that we can |
| 559s | control |
| 561s | yeah go ahead Jen sorry for the |
| 562s | interruption yeah |
| 564s | um |
| 565s | so now that we've changed the the |
| 567s | parameter we wanted to change we wanted |
| 569s | to make sure that everyone has a say in |
| 572s | anything that's being proposed here |
| 575s | we'll add this process and we'll include |
| 577s | that inside the ratify Constitution now |
| 580s | this will allow us to bundle it into the |
| 583s | same election |
| 586s | and this is something that |
| 589s | we included and was added in 9.3 I think |
| 594s | but we kind of wanted to go over this |
| 596s | process because it has been something |
| 598s | that a lot of people aren't really aware |
| 600s | of is possible |
| 603s | um that you can change out |
| 605s | a lot of your Constitution and how you |
| 608s | want to vote for it or |
| 611s | how you kind of want to deal with the |
| 613s | whole election and post-election results |
| 618s | um |
| 619s | from the start you don't need to create |
| 621s | the Constitution vote for the |
| 623s | Constitution and then start doing edits |
| 625s | after that which would prolong depending |
| 628s | on how how long your voting process and |
| 630s | how you're how active your population is |
| 632s | on the server it could take up to 24 |
| 634s | hours as the default election timer |
| 636s | which would then add another 24 hours to |
| 639s | do any changes so we kind of have that |
| 641s | bundle option to cut down that election |
| 643s | timer to make sure that you can combine |
| 646s | these different election types and |
| 650s | uh get anything that you want in through |
| 652s | that first bulk election and this can be |
| 654s | included to extend you know zoning |
| 658s | rights districts |
| 660s | um any other of the aesthetic articles |
| 661s | that you can add |
| 663s | so now we have our election process we |
| 666s | can already tweak this inside the |
| 668s | Constitution draft that we made |
| 670s | so in this case we have everyone May |
| 673s | propose an election of a basic election |
| 677s | but we could change this out to have |
| 680s | uh to only allow active to vote on |
| 683s | something that contains the basic |
| 685s | collection |
| 686s | and then we can add another article |
| 689s | just copy and sort of duplicate the |
| 692s | variables that's used here |
| 695s | but if |
| 697s | everyone is a proposer for it |
| 700s | then we can use this new election |
| 702s | process |
| 705s | and this is something that you can just |
| 706s | outright your place here but I wanted to |
| 708s | keep the old one to be you know if you |
| 710s | wrote things on something with as active |
| 713s | only the active people gets to vote on |
| 716s | it versus if everyone |
| 719s | um |
| 719s | in general |
| 721s | that may not be active then everyone has |
| 725s | a say in it to make sure that you know |
| 727s | you're sort of wholesomely including |
| 729s | everyone on the server |
| 730s | now |
| 732s | the trick with this is that it will |
| 735s | include everyone which means this also |
| 738s | includes your |
| 740s | non-active players |
| 742s | and the total vote count will include |
| 745s | anyone that's connected to the server so |
| 748s | if your active Community exceeds |
| 750s | the volume of non-active players then |
| 753s | you might sort of end up in a limbo |
| 756s | situation where you can't get lost to |
| 757s | pass because you don't have enough |
| 759s | people voting on it based on the amount |
| 762s | of minimum percentage eligible voters |
| 767s | since this is set as a default to 51 of |
| 770s | the total |
| 772s | um |
| 773s | valid voters in this |
| 777s | so we want to also include a law in this |
| 780s | and this would require you to place a |
| 782s | court which is currently as everyone is |
| 785s | aware that has been tinkering with laws |
| 788s | is a quite a big object we have cut this |
| 792s | down in size |
| 795s | in upcoming iterations so these objects |
| 798s | will be individually placed and you |
| 801s | won't need the entire |
| 803s | Behemoth of the object in in one go so |
| 806s | to speak you can space these out or kind |
| 809s | of fit them in however you want in a |
| 811s | room |
| 813s | and go into an active low slot or draft |
| 817s | the law |
| 818s | and for this particular one |
| 822s | I know this is something that people |
| 824s | have been wanting |
| 825s | um |
| 826s | which We snuck in as a new auth action |
| 829s | as well |
| 831s | um so that'll hopefully be |
| 833s | something that people will enjoy |
| 836s | um so we want to do a |
| 840s | stew |
| 842s | Constructor deconstruct |
| 846s | and we just want to prevent Construction |
| 849s | and |
| 851s | now I could do |
| 855s | another type of parameter value here so |
| 858s | I could limit this to |
| 861s | um |
| 862s | if you have a residence or if you don't |
| 864s | have a residence |
| 867s | um |
| 868s | and sort of extend this out to whatever |
| 870s | kind of requirements or |
| 873s | inclusion you want if it's in a district |
| 875s | or if it's a certain demographic |
| 879s | um if you have a certain skill set |
| 883s | and then we can do something like change |
| 885s | reputation pay tax prevent ignore auth |
| 890s | and do all kinds of fun things with |
| 893s | any number of combinations here and I |
| 896s | know people are daunted by this and |
| 899s | I strongly recommend people to sort of |
| 902s | poke at it and see what it's about just |
| 904s | to |
| 906s | uh just to test it |
| 909s | um |
| 911s | it is a bit complex |
| 914s | um |
| 915s | because it is essentially programming if |
| 918s | you will where you're telling the system |
| 919s | how it's supposed to behave |
| 922s | um |
| 924s | and we're working on on simplifying it |
| 926s | as much as we can |
| 928s | um so any any opinions and any |
| 932s | um |
| 933s | adjustments or preferences that people |
| 935s | may have feel free to post them as well |
| 937s | because we do love input on this |
| 941s | um and try to try to improve it as much |
| 942s | as we can as we go |
| 946s | um so in this case we're just outright |
| 947s | preventing Construction |
| 949s | uh rename it to |
| 952s | instruction |
| 953s | prevention just so we know what we're |
| 956s | dealing with and what it's doing |
| 958s | and then we include this law as well in |
| 959s | here |
| 962s | and we now attached it to the |
| 964s | Constitution draft |
| 967s | and |
| 970s | say we're quite happy with this now we |
| 972s | have this under under wraps we've got a |
| 975s | election process |
| 976s | we've adjusted the election process for |
| 979s | this we've added and included the law |
| 981s | and you want to start the Constitution |
| 984s | election |
| 985s | now here is where |
| 989s | um |
| 990s | it gets tricky but it really doesn't |
| 993s | um let me just do |
| 997s | so in here we don't really have a clear |
| 1000s | way of how to start an election |
| 1003s | but as soon as you hit a draft and you |
| 1006s | start creating it |
| 1007s | this is tied to you personally and this |
| 1011s | is something that we changed and added |
| 1013s | in a way for |
| 1015s | um to avoid having multiple people |
| 1018s | starting drafts and kind of editing the |
| 1021s | same version and adding different adding |
| 1024s | different laws |
| 1027s | or adding different election processes |
| 1030s | and you would have conflicting interest |
| 1033s | in you were creating a certain draft for |
| 1036s | what you envisioned and then someone |
| 1038s | else were adding random articles to your |
| 1040s | current active draft |
| 1044s | um so these are individual and these |
| 1047s | startup in the election tab so this is |
| 1050s | where you have any essential election |
| 1052s | happening anything that you are eligible |
| 1055s | to vote on |
| 1056s | notifications regarding changes to |
| 1059s | civics |
| 1061s | and just |
| 1063s | uh General process of Elections this is |
| 1066s | where you actually start the draft once |
| 1069s | you have it and you can Mouse over the |
| 1070s | draft to get a tooltip of what's |
| 1073s | included in it |
| 1075s | um just to have an idea on what you're |
| 1076s | actually adding |
| 1078s | if you're unhappy with it you can cancel |
| 1080s | the draft and it'll just blank it out |
| 1081s | and remove all the Articles from it |
| 1085s | um so yeah we're happy with this |
| 1088s | and we can start it and it starts |
| 1091s | devoting and I think this is where I'm |
| 1094s | pass it over to Adam |
| 1095s | yeah before that uh yeah we are about to |
| 1098s | go with Adam but Jen said you might |
| 1100s | answer a couple of questions first |
| 1103s | so so I just uh brought in on the on the |
| 1107s | screenshot just in case but yeah here |
| 1109s | comes the first one the first one was |
| 1110s | already answered uh but but I'm going to |
| 1114s | to read it again because maybe not |
| 1116s | everyone was aware of the questions so |
| 1118s | first question will we get the ability |
| 1120s | to export import loads |
| 1123s | um it is something that we're looking at |
| 1125s | natively |
| 1126s | um because it is an essential part of |
| 1129s | being able to craft more intricate and |
| 1132s | uh sophisticated loss |
| 1135s | um |
| 1136s | so it is something that we're looking at |
| 1139s | the case nice next question uh what are |
| 1142s | the new gameplay possibilities when you |
| 1143s | mount an object |
| 1147s | um |
| 1148s | you can do pretty much the same thing as |
| 1151s | you can do with any other loss in |
| 1154s | general right now I don't have since the |
| 1155s | law is in action |
| 1157s | um I can't open it up and |
| 1159s | showcase it but essentially you could |
| 1161s | prevent people from mounting a vehicle |
| 1167s | and and yeah so you can you could tie |
| 1170s | certain vehicles to certain professions |
| 1171s | through loss or vice versa |
| 1175s | and |
| 1177s | any kind of tax payment or or debit |
| 1181s | usage through that |
| 1184s | I think uh thank you another the last |
| 1187s | question that we have uh related to |
| 1189s | these first Civics is it possible to add |
| 1193s | a permanent law out to or I'm sorry uh |
| 1196s | brand law out to to cancel modify others |
| 1199s | people work orders on our workstation is |
| 1202s | the question number 10 just in case |
| 1205s | uh no you can you can't retroactively |
| 1209s | prevent the work order to be used once |
| 1211s | it's crafted once it's placed |
| 1214s | um |
| 1218s | it is it is an interesting Prospect to |
| 1222s | look into because we're as it is right |
| 1225s | now we're not preventing someone to |
| 1227s | actually use or add resources to a work |
| 1230s | order in order to craft items because |
| 1232s | we're we're not blocking the item |
| 1235s | crafting in itself we're blocking the |
| 1237s | work order creation so |
| 1240s | um retroactively It's tricky to do that |
| 1244s | um |
| 1246s | but it is an interesting |
| 1248s | um |
| 1249s | idea and something that I can can |
| 1253s | probably look into but |
| 1255s | um |
| 1256s | I don't think it will be anything that |
| 1257s | we're changing for them |
| 1260s | okay uh thank you gents would you mind |
| 1262s | uh to remind people the last thing you |
| 1265s | did the logic that you just created |
| 1266s | before we go to Adam |
| 1269s | uh yeah so the law is is simply to |
| 1274s | um using the event construct or |
| 1276s | deconstruct and then specifying if |
| 1279s | you're trying to construct it'll prevent |
| 1281s | someone from doing it so this is |
| 1283s | preventing everyone anyone or everyone |
| 1285s | to |
| 1287s | from being able to build anything in the |
| 1289s | world essentially |
| 1290s | okay that's nice so now let's go with |
| 1293s | with guy |
| 1295s | should be we should be able to see his |
| 1298s | screen now |
| 1299s | uh thank you again gents So Adam you can |
| 1301s | start now |
| 1303s | awesome right so this is the uh |
| 1306s | extension |
| 1307s | um |
| 1307s | it will allow you to interact with it in |
| 1309s | a few ways |
| 1311s | um the main aim of it is |
| 1313s | to interact with it with elections |
| 1316s | um to actually see the election that was |
| 1319s | just created it has appeared here |
| 1321s | and so you can click it |
| 1323s | um if there was a description added it |
| 1325s | will be displayed there |
| 1328s | um and it also gives you the time |
| 1329s | remaining so you know |
| 1330s | if you can vote on it or if not it won't |
| 1333s | if it's ended it won't be there anymore |
| 1336s | um |
| 1337s | so what will happen is |
| 1339s | um you can click vote and you can uh |
| 1343s | vote on these type of things here so yes |
| 1345s | or no and depending on what the vote is |
| 1347s | if it's a multi-choice vote |
| 1350s | um so there's multiple options you can |
| 1352s | it will have all of them on there rather |
| 1354s | than just a yes and no |
| 1356s | um so it will look slightly different |
| 1359s | um |
| 1360s | so what happens is if I click I just say |
| 1363s | no for instance |
| 1365s | um it will tell me over it is now |
| 1368s | um |
| 1368s | oh there's the first bug it should tell |
| 1372s | you that uh |
| 1373s | a twitch user has voted here but for |
| 1375s | some reason it hasn't I'm not sure why |
| 1378s | um but as it says it says that |
| 1380s | I have voted no |
| 1384s | um and some people have some questions |
| 1385s | regarding the elections |
| 1388s | um which I can go through |
| 1391s | uh so |
| 1393s | um different weights for subs or |
| 1394s | non-subs |
| 1396s | um we haven't thought about that I don't |
| 1398s | think or have we |
| 1400s | um |
| 1402s | I think it's dependent on uh |
| 1405s | be configured Insight in the time um how |
| 1408s | you've configured it in the options that |
| 1410s | you saw earlier |
| 1412s | um so that was how that's done I believe |
| 1416s | um and can you uh vote as a sub for |
| 1419s | multiple streamers |
| 1421s | so how the voting works is it's per user |
| 1425s | not |
| 1426s | per user for each stream so you can have |
| 1430s | multiple streamers in the server |
| 1433s | that have it activated |
| 1435s | but your vote will be across all of them |
| 1437s | rather than |
| 1439s | each streamer |
| 1441s | if that makes sense hopefully it does |
| 1447s | um some other questions you had |
| 1448s | regarding this one and then I can move |
| 1449s | over to the other tabs oh yeah we have a |
| 1452s | couple of questions now that you |
| 1454s | mentioned before we go to the to the |
| 1456s | other tab so let me review some of the |
| 1460s | questions uh just in case as I'm going |
| 1462s | to read the ones on that on the document |
| 1465s | so the the first one is the different |
| 1468s | way uh for subscribers and subscribers |
| 1473s | um yeah I just I'm sorry I went through |
| 1474s | that one just made it okay oh yeah sorry |
| 1477s | yeah it's fine uh so the weights are |
| 1479s | configured uh depending on how you set |
| 1481s | it up at the time of creation so |
| 1485s | um you can adjust the weight |
| 1487s | um so how you would prefer them to be |
| 1490s | okay yeah sorry yeah here's our repeated |
| 1492s | questions so |
| 1495s | um does twitch boat count Road total |
| 1498s | voters each streamer gets sure |
| 1502s | uh so how this works is it's combined |
| 1505s | across all the streamers |
| 1506s | um |
| 1507s | so it's not a like a war total |
| 1511s | um |
| 1512s | sorry the question was uh countless of |
| 1514s | war total voters or each stream I get to |
| 1516s | share um yeah so so all the combined |
| 1519s | votes of |
| 1520s | everyone across the board it's not just |
| 1523s | I can't go to someone else and get |
| 1525s | another streamer and vote for the same |
| 1527s | option and it counts as two votes from |
| 1529s | me it's |
| 1531s | just one vote across all streamers for |
| 1534s | that server |
| 1536s | yeah just just to clarify I as you may |
| 1539s | imagine there may be multiple streamers |
| 1541s | for the same server so that's why this |
| 1543s | question |
| 1544s | okay uh next question will twitch boring |
| 1548s | let us order our Bots like on the |
| 1550s | website like uh I bought jio number one |
| 1553s | ice version number two |
| 1556s | um no so the um Amy options you get |
| 1561s | um as a twitch viewer item is |
| 1564s | um you vote on one thing so as you saw |
| 1566s | on this one it was yes or no |
| 1568s | um if it's a multi-choice one you can |
| 1570s | get elections for candidates |
| 1573s | but you only get one that you don't get |
| 1576s | um |
| 1577s | don't get the drag and drop options like |
| 1579s | you do in the election website |
| 1582s | okay I get it so the next question |
| 1585s | um do the twitch subscriber actions uh |
| 1589s | tie into one twitch Channel or multiple |
| 1593s | it is like the question number eight it |
| 1596s | doesn't I think yeah that was similar to |
| 1597s | the question before um yeah yeah so you |
| 1599s | can have like five or six streamers on |
| 1602s | one server but you're very well in |
| 1604s | account |
| 1605s | once to put it down it doesn't matter |
| 1607s | what streamer you put it on |
| 1609s | yeah yeah sorry the unit is that it was |
| 1612s | the yeah I mean different question about |
| 1614s | saying concept |
| 1616s | um okay we have another will streamers |
| 1619s | will be able to add their OBS frame with |
| 1622s | the current election status and how will |
| 1625s | they get a the link or that for that |
| 1631s | um let me see if I can understand that |
| 1632s | question uh |
| 1638s | so we um an OBS overlay |
| 1641s | I believe that questions for um so this |
| 1643s | one is a Twix twitch extension so this |
| 1647s | will go below |
| 1648s | the streamers video |
| 1650s | um we are also |
| 1653s | um thinking about having it as a video |
| 1655s | overlay as well |
| 1656s | um but that will need some more work |
| 1657s | into it and that'll be a future idea |
| 1661s | or maybe when it's live |
| 1664s | okay nice uh that's remember everyone |
| 1667s | that we have a link on the top of the |
| 1669s | streaming so feel free to go to the link |
| 1672s | and give us feedback on what would you |
| 1674s | like to see on this twitch uh plugin |
| 1677s | that we are working on as you may know |
| 1679s | not everything is possible as we all the |
| 1682s | implementation that we do are then |
| 1684s | reviewed by twitch and some |
| 1686s | modifications may not be possible but |
| 1689s | but we are really happy to work on a |
| 1691s | feature that allows the community to |
| 1693s | participate more remember that you can |
| 1696s | also deactivate this feature if you |
| 1698s | don't think it's a good idea for your |
| 1700s | server remember that you can reduce the |
| 1702s | weight for the twitch boats and you can |
| 1705s | also limit the amount of boats that you |
| 1707s | get from from twitch so |
| 1710s | so yeah we are really happy about our |
| 1712s | this feature but we are really open to |
| 1714s | feedback let us know what you think uh |
| 1716s | James I'm sorry uh Adam would you mind |
| 1719s | going to the other tabs while I check |
| 1722s | the other questions thank you um so the |
| 1724s | other tab is okay for the info ones |
| 1726s | first so this is an overall |
| 1728s | um piece of information for the server |
| 1730s | so it will tell you |
| 1732s | what the name of the server is that your |
| 1734s | streamer is playing on |
| 1736s | um |
| 1737s | and it gives you some stats as well so |
| 1739s | say how long how many days have passed |
| 1741s | since |
| 1744s | um they've launched the server |
| 1747s | um how many players are online at the |
| 1749s | time as well |
| 1750s | um this should automatically update you |
| 1752s | too |
| 1752s | um so there's no need to refresh the |
| 1755s | page or the extension every time every |
| 1757s | time the extension gets updates it will |
| 1760s | refresh automatically for you |
| 1763s | um it'll also tell you how many total |
| 1764s | players are on the server as well as the |
| 1767s | current ones that are online and if the |
| 1769s | meteor is enabled then it will tell you |
| 1772s | the impact date of the meteor |
| 1774s | and then below that it will give you |
| 1776s | more information |
| 1778s | depending on the actual features |
| 1780s | so if twitch chat can actually join the |
| 1783s | server then it will tell you and it will |
| 1786s | tell you whether you need to be a |
| 1787s | subscriber or not |
| 1789s | um and then this launch button here will |
| 1791s | actually launch the game for you and |
| 1793s | connect you uh this will only show if |
| 1796s | the streamer that's done if the server |
| 1799s | allows viewers to join or Subs so |
| 1802s | depending on what type it is if you have |
| 1805s | to be a subscriber to join the server it |
| 1808s | will only show the launch button for |
| 1809s | subscribers |
| 1811s | and I will also tell you if the meteor |
| 1813s | isn't able to disabled as well as the |
| 1815s | server details below it as well there |
| 1818s | that's just an overview of the actual |
| 1820s | server information |
| 1822s | and then uh the third tab we have here |
| 1826s | is |
| 1827s | um regarding graphs so this will allow |
| 1830s | you to look at |
| 1831s | stats for the server so if you want to |
| 1834s | look at how many species certain species |
| 1836s | are left |
| 1837s | um you can actually |
| 1838s | go through this and have a look |
| 1840s | to find out |
| 1842s | um how many they've got how many people |
| 1844s | were killed off |
| 1846s | for instance and it will change |
| 1848s | automatically for you there's no need to |
| 1850s | refresh the thing so some of these stats |
| 1854s | uh won't show much because it's a fresh |
| 1856s | server |
| 1857s | but it's nice and easy to look at the |
| 1859s | overall stats for the server so you |
| 1862s | don't have to ask the streamer or |
| 1864s | anything you can download yourself |
| 1868s | yeah we are also open to feedback about |
| 1869s | these graphs so if you have an idea of |
| 1872s | what you like to see there then it's not |
| 1874s | possible to see right now let us know |
| 1876s | and we can check if it is something |
| 1877s | possible to do to do there uh I'm sorry |
| 1881s | for the introduction again there is a |
| 1884s | question that says how do you prevent |
| 1886s | players from boring bot in game and on |
| 1889s | Twitch and the answer for that is that |
| 1891s | we don't have a way to prevent that on |
| 1894s | the current version so a person would be |
| 1897s | able to bought to vote twice as a player |
| 1901s | as a teacher as a teacher stream as a |
| 1903s | teacher subscriber I'm sorry if you |
| 1906s | think it is important that we prevent |
| 1908s | that let us know and and we can check if |
| 1910s | it is possible to validate but as you |
| 1912s | can imagine it's it's complicated |
| 1914s | because you can have your personal |
| 1915s | Twitch account and your player account |
| 1918s | and they are not connected in every way |
| 1920s | so it's really complicated to to prevent |
| 1924s | uh I I use are you saying that it's |
| 1927s | possible to prevent to be honest we we |
| 1929s | need to look into that but I but I think |
| 1931s | it's impossible to to prevent that and |
| 1933s | the second question is that is for Adam |
| 1936s | will be able to try out the twitch |
| 1938s | extension today |
| 1939s | and unfortunately not so |
| 1942s | um twitch has a review uh system where |
| 1945s | we have to submit it and it takes a |
| 1947s | while so we're gonna get it into a |
| 1949s | finished product first and then get set |
| 1952s | it send it to Twitch for review and then |
| 1954s | you can test it that way um so |
| 1956s | unfortunately it's not available for |
| 1958s | people to try at the moment even though |
| 1960s | we would love that |
| 1962s | yeah uh yeah the the way that we are |
| 1965s | that we are showing uh this today is |
| 1968s | with an internal uh like uh White list |
| 1971s | that we have that allow us the |
| 1973s | developers to participate but right now |
| 1976s | it is not a viable to for everyone we |
| 1979s | still need the the twitch validate is |
| 1982s | the future give us feedback then we |
| 1984s | trade again so yes uh Sun mentioned is |
| 1987s | not available today uh Adam do you have |
| 1990s | anything else to add to the features |
| 1992s | that we were displaying |
| 1993s | um yep so there is also a moderation tab |
| 1996s | as well this feature is not 100 finished |
| 1999s | at the moment |
| 2000s | um but I can still display it for you so |
| 2002s | we know it's important um for streamers |
| 2004s | to be able to moderate |
| 2006s | their things and also for things like |
| 2009s | modded servers and stuff there's data |
| 2011s | that's not specifically coming from the |
| 2013s | server |
| 2014s | um default server but other mods so what |
| 2018s | happens is if you click the Cog this |
| 2020s | will appear if you're a moderator or you |
| 2022s | have permissions from that and above |
| 2025s | you can click this |
| 2026s | and it will come up with all the |
| 2028s | information that you have to approve |
| 2030s | um so I've disabled it here for now so |
| 2033s | you can see it the information |
| 2036s | but you would pop this open and it will |
| 2038s | give you the information you have to |
| 2039s | review so if you you're okay with this |
| 2042s | and there's no profanity or anything in |
| 2044s | it you don't want to appear you can |
| 2046s | approve or deny it and just click that |
| 2049s | as I said it's not going to work fully |
| 2051s | but you click that and they'll disappear |
| 2053s | and you can go through |
| 2055s | and approve all the stat names as well |
| 2057s | to make sure your community is safe and |
| 2060s | think you don't want to appear |
| 2062s | um so that's one step we've done to help |
| 2064s | secure and protect your channels |
| 2071s | thank you Adam uh I'm going to to go |
| 2075s | with a couple of questions that we have |
| 2076s | one that we have here from YouTube chat |
| 2079s | that is for gens uh it's a bit because |
| 2082s | the question but yeah uh genes could I |
| 2086s | use Echo software to simulate the real |
| 2088s | world based on real data |
| 2092s | foreign |
| 2095s | mentally |
| 2098s | um |
| 2099s | or |
| 2100s | let me find did you have the question oh |
| 2103s | yeah I I just got it on the Discord |
| 2105s | channel is the last question |
| 2107s | uh |
| 2111s | not really in in sort of the complex |
| 2113s | regards that you might need because we |
| 2117s | do have a full |
| 2119s | um like atmospheric and pollution |
| 2122s | um |
| 2124s | based system for calculating things like |
| 2128s | air pressure and |
| 2130s | sort of airflow and all that |
| 2132s | [Music] |
| 2132s | um |
| 2134s | but it's probably not detailed enough in |
| 2137s | regards to |
| 2140s | um like water tables and |
| 2142s | kind of in-depth technical details for |
| 2145s | all the other aspects that might be |
| 2147s | required to have sort of a |
| 2149s | a result you're looking for |
| 2152s | AC thank you James for the answer there |
| 2154s | is another uh question uh will food ever |
| 2158s | be rebalanced uh the comment that is |
| 2162s | with the question is that solo players |
| 2163s | are hurting |
| 2168s | um |
| 2171s | um that's a bit of an ambiguous question |
| 2174s | um |
| 2175s | in |
| 2178s | um |
| 2179s | in in what regards would that be |
| 2181s | referred to I kind of wanted I kind of |
| 2183s | would like a more expanded question for |
| 2185s | that |
| 2186s | um is it is that in regard to if |
| 2191s | um like how you're not acquiring food |
| 2194s | because it's easier as a group to you |
| 2197s | know craft better food internally and |
| 2200s | they would just not sell you higher end |
| 2202s | Goods or |
| 2205s | um |
| 2207s | kind of where where where the question |
| 2211s | um |
| 2212s | is focused on because yeah there's a lot |
| 2214s | of aspects to it |
| 2215s | yeah I agree I agree with Jen's there is |
| 2217s | the question but uh and I I can't find |
| 2221s | the person that asked that question on |
| 2223s | the YouTube channel but in case that |
| 2226s | person is still with us yeah feel free |
| 2227s | to to add the question to the survey on |
| 2230s | the last part of the survey you can ask |
| 2233s | questions and we can check with more |
| 2235s | time man if you want your your ID we can |
| 2237s | try to answer you one sec we have more |
| 2240s | information because balance is really |
| 2243s | complex uh topic as we had have already |
| 2245s | mentioned so we really need more |
| 2248s | information to find what you think may |
| 2250s | not have the correct balance there uh |
| 2253s | another questions that we have this is |
| 2256s | for the related to the twitch channel so |
| 2259s | my twitch plugin so maybe for Adam |
| 2261s | uh can this twitch plugin also be |
| 2263s | integrated into their applications such |
| 2265s | as Discord |
| 2267s | uh so the way it works with twitch now |
| 2272s | um there is a possibilities of |
| 2275s | we could probably work stuff into |
| 2277s | Discord like that if we wanted to |
| 2280s | um we don't specifically know |
| 2283s | what we're gonna do other than the |
| 2285s | twitch plugin so far |
| 2287s | um like that could be a possibility yes |
| 2290s | but it would be probably text based |
| 2292s | rather than |
| 2293s | the fancy panel that you see |
| 2296s | okay uh thank you um yeah I think that |
| 2299s | Integrations are really nice if you want |
| 2302s | to see more Integrations like the one |
| 2303s | that we are doing we teach with twitch |
| 2306s | I'm sorry let us know for example this |
| 2308s | could be a interesting idea you feel |
| 2311s | free to add that on the on the survey as |
| 2314s | well so another questions that we have |
| 2317s | um for jeans food and housing bonuses |
| 2321s | have been a big problem for long-term |
| 2323s | service servers without moods after |
| 2325s | having all allowed proficient as level |
| 2328s | seven there is no reason to have food |
| 2329s | housing will the 10 version address this |
| 2333s | feature let me just paste that question |
| 2336s | in the Discord charges |
| 2338s | it's the last question um I I think long |
| 2341s | term wise |
| 2342s | um not necessarily because we are |
| 2344s | looking at changing out some of the uh |
| 2347s | some of the aspects of skill games |
| 2351s | um |
| 2352s | and uh kind of want you to keep pushing |
| 2356s | your food requirements |
| 2358s | um |
| 2360s | but it's probably outside the scope of |
| 2362s | of our update 10 |
| 2364s | um as we're I mean still a bit focused |
| 2367s | on Civics but also on General |
| 2370s | interactions and new vehicles |
| 2374s | but it's definitely something that we |
| 2376s | are going to address |
| 2379s | and it is on it's been sort of on the |
| 2381s | planning table and on the board to |
| 2385s | finalize in regards to what we wanted to |
| 2387s | do with it because it is something that |
| 2389s | I think everyone has acknowledged and |
| 2391s | agreed that |
| 2393s | it is it is a problem that you cannot |
| 2396s | run into as soon as you pass a certain |
| 2399s | amount of time on the server where |
| 2401s | you're either happy with your skill set |
| 2404s | um |
| 2405s | and you kind of just |
| 2407s | pouring calories and labor into whatever |
| 2411s | you're working on for a |
| 2413s | Pet Project or a big build or you know a |
| 2417s | big infrastructure project and there's |
| 2420s | no real need to keep your food score up |
| 2424s | there's a couple of servers that have |
| 2426s | done some creative things to get around |
| 2428s | that problem to force you to eat better |
| 2430s | food but it is something from vanilla |
| 2433s | standpoint that we want to change and |
| 2435s | improve on uh absolutely but |
| 2438s | um it's it's a bigger it requires a |
| 2443s | bigger solution than we can fit in 410 |
| 2445s | unfortunately although we would like to |
| 2448s | address it |
| 2451s | okay uh thank you everyone uh thank you |
| 2454s | Adam and James I know that we have a |
| 2457s | couple of questions left but we are |
| 2459s | running out of time so the idea is that |
| 2461s | if you have additional questions or |
| 2463s | there are questions that we couldn't |
| 2464s | answer during the stream uh feel free to |
| 2467s | add them to the survey and we will be |
| 2469s | checking on them |
| 2471s | thank you again everyone and see you |
| 2473s | later bye bye |
