| 0s | hello audio hello video |
|---|---|
| 3s | hello |
| 4s | people watching this video so glad you |
| 6s | joined us watch me screw this up |
| 11s | hi everyone it's me snoot i'm a |
| 13s | community manager at coffee stain |
| 14s | studios and today we're going to be |
| 16s | talking all about the spire coast the |
| 19s | new biome we're adding to satisfactory |
| 21s | so last week we showcased the new biome |
| 23s | in a teaser trailer if you haven't |
| 25s | already seen that you can check it up in |
| 26s | the cards here |
| 28s | and watch it uh don't worry i'll wait |
| 40s | if it isn't obvious in that video |
| 42s | there's a significant change coming to |
| 44s | that region of the map |
| 45s | uh at the launch of update five we |
| 47s | released this road map of the upcoming |
| 50s | changes that we're making to massage 2ab |
| 52s | cd bddb i can never remember the name of |
| 55s | the planet uh |
| 57s | we released a road map with the upcoming |
| 59s | changes to the world map moving forward |
| 60s | to the release of 1.0 with the biggest |
| 62s | change being the spire coast if you have |
| 64s | any factories located in this part of |
| 66s | the map i really recommend moving them |
| 69s | out of there or |
| 70s | i mean you could just leave them there i |
| 72s | don't know i'm not your mom why should i |
| 73s | care but not only is this a big |
| 75s | environmental change we've also moved |
| 77s | the existing nodes that are located in |
| 78s | that region and it's possible that if |
| 81s | you load up a save file after the update |
| 83s | your production lines might still |
| 84s | function despite that but the major |
| 87s | problem that i see is that the |
| 88s | environment will probably have changed |
| 90s | so much that you might not be able to |
| 91s | access your factory buildings as they're |
| 93s | probably going to be clipping into the |
| 94s | environment so while your factory might |
| 97s | still be up and running |
| 98s | after update 6 you might not be able to |
| 101s | adjust them or maintain your production |
| 103s | lines there are a couple of external |
| 104s | tools that are made and maintained by |
| 106s | the community that you can use to move |
| 108s | your factory if you don't want to |
| 109s | dismantle them so if you have a big |
| 111s | factory |
| 112s | that you don't want to delete there's |
| 113s | always that option i'll leave a couple |
| 115s | of links in the description below for |
| 117s | that even though we're making big |
| 118s | changes to the spire coast in this |
| 120s | update it won't be completely finished |
| 123s | most of the environmental changes will |
| 125s | be made in time for update six we also |
| 127s | plan to improve some of the gameplay |
| 128s | elements in future updates specifically |
| 131s | we want to add more resource nodes to |
| 133s | that area the spire coast currently only |
| 135s | hosts oil nodes but we want to include a |
| 137s | more diverse set of different nodes in |
| 139s | there so you can better set up shop in |
| 141s | that region but we won't be able to see |
| 143s | that in update 6 so that will come later |
| 146s | down the line there also won't be any |
| 147s | power slugs coming in that region yet |
| 149s | however uh what you can expect to see |
| 152s | are a couple of crash sites i know a lot |
| 154s | of people have requested ways to manage |
| 156s | their crash sites once you've looted |
| 157s | them and we have plans to sort of |
| 159s | improve on that but we're not sure if |
| 161s | that will make it in for this update or |
| 162s | not so yeah essentially the bio won't be |
| 164s | completely finished in update six but we |
| 166s | intend to do as much as we can and then |
| 168s | keep improving on it in future patches |
| 171s | however i thought we'd take a look at |
| 173s | the state of things as they are today |
| 175s | and bring you all along |
| 177s | but uh bear in mind that some things are |
| 179s | more finished than others because yeah |
| 181s | this biome is still a work in progress |
| 183s | the most predominant area in the spire |
| 185s | coast is the open section of shallow |
| 187s | water apart from the coral reef section |
| 189s | of the spire coast most of the water |
| 191s | volumes here aren't too deep so the |
| 193s | player will be able to walk through all |
| 195s | of these areas no problem and be able to |
| 197s | build factories here |
| 198s | all gucci all right |
| 200s | we intend to add more coral reefs to the |
| 202s | outer edges of the biome and some of the |
| 204s | cliffs are missing some decorations |
| 206s | right now so they might look a bit bare |
| 207s | we're still working on the lighting in |
| 209s | this region and i haven't quite settled |
| 210s | on the color scheme yet so the |
| 212s | atmosphere of spire coast might change |
| 214s | in the future i do want to point out |
| 216s | that the waterfalls you saw in the |
| 217s | trailer are all placeholders and we do |
| 219s | intend to change those to the new |
| 221s | waterfalls we've showcased in a previous |
| 223s | devlog at some point during development |
| 225s | and there might also be like a floating |
| 227s | rock here and there in the biome but |
| 229s | that's not something we're already |
| 230s | accustomed to am i right |
| 232s | am i right okay |
| 234s | dying inside speaking of waterfalls by |
| 236s | the way i thought it was a bit funny |
| 237s | that some people commented on the fact |
| 238s | that the waterfalls don't seem realistic |
| 240s | which |
| 241s | i mean sure that's not wrong i can't |
| 243s | really hold it against people feeling |
| 245s | that way i just find it funny that |
| 247s | that's where we draw the line of the |
| 248s | game being unrealistic right you know |
| 250s | having buildings appearing out of thin |
| 252s | air from parts that shoot out of your |
| 254s | body being constructed by a tv remote |
| 256s | you know that's acceptable but faucet |
| 258s | waterfalls that's right out on the |
| 260s | borders between the spire coast and the |
| 261s | dune desert we have this section of |
| 263s | interesting pillar pieces a challenge |
| 265s | that we always sort of face when making |
| 267s | a diverse set of biomes is how to |
| 269s | transition between the different biomes |
| 271s | so this area kind of mixes assets from |
| 274s | both dune desert and the spire coast and |
| 276s | sort of blends them together there's |
| 277s | still more work to be done to the cliff |
| 279s | sides as well between the biomes and |
| 281s | we're hoping to get the major changes in |
| 283s | and that includes that empty section on |
| 285s | top of the cliffs fixed in the dune |
| 287s | desert this area has always been subject |
| 288s | to change and we're hoping to improve |
| 290s | this part as much as possible but it's |
| 292s | unlikely that we'll it will be |
| 294s | completely finished by update six and |
| 296s | again it is not advisable to build up |
| 298s | here alright but who am i to tell you |
| 300s | what you can and cannot do |
| 303s | follow your heart in the portion between |
| 304s | the coral valley and the spire coast |
| 306s | we've removed a large chunk of the |
| 308s | mountain here and replace it with this |
| 309s | quite lush cliff range on this side you |
| 312s | also have this cool arch thingy and up |
| 314s | here you can get a really good look at |
| 315s | the biome and look |
| 317s | everything the light touches is your |
| 319s | kingdom okay you can build whatever you |
| 321s | want here but what about that shadowy |
| 323s | place down there the great canyon |
| 326s | so stupid i know a lot of people weren't |
| 328s | expecting us to make changes to the |
| 330s | great canyon and that the great canyon |
| 332s | was rather part of the northern forest |
| 333s | but the truth is that we include the |
| 335s | great canyon as being part of the spire |
| 337s | coast region and there are changes |
| 339s | coming here the canyon is a great place |
| 341s | to create paths for trucks and trains to |
| 343s | travel between the dune desert and the |
| 344s | rocket desert so we wanted to improve |
| 346s | this spot by giving it a bit more room |
| 348s | for logistics this area is far from |
| 350s | finished though so it might be too early |
| 352s | to say but if you have logistic lines |
| 354s | already set up here it's possible you |
| 356s | won't be affected too much however we |
| 359s | still haven't finished the desert |
| 360s | canyons so this area might also change |
| 363s | quite a bit in the future because and i |
| 365s | quote hannah on this that area is butt |
| 368s | ugly at the moment so there's that |
| 371s | so that's the state of things with the |
| 372s | spire coast i hope you're excited for |
| 374s | this change and i hope you've got your |
| 375s | solid biofuel all stacked up because the |
| 378s | chainsaw's gonna have to work overtime |
| 380s | for this update so yeah that's gonna be |
| 381s | it for me i hope uh you found this |
| 383s | information useful i hope you've ordered |
| 385s | a moving company for your current |
| 386s | factory inspired coast because you know |
| 389s | it's a busy season so don't dilly dally |
| 391s | chop chop anyways |
| 392s | take care everybody until next time |
| 395s | peace |
