| 1s | hey everyone my name is Jason I'm a |
| 3s | community manager at coffee stain |
| 5s | Studios and today I've got a bunch of |
| 6s | really cool update 8 quality of life |
| 8s | feature improvements that are going to |
| 10s | be coming with the update looking |
| 12s | forward to tell you all about it and |
| 13s | make sure you stay to the end because I |
| 14s | think the loss was going to be a bit of |
| 15s | a fan favorite try not to spoil yourself |
| 17s | with the timeline |
| 19s | chill enjoy enjoy the ride now before we |
| 21s | get right into it little quick load of |
| 23s | housekeeping as you guys may have known |
| 24s | if you've seen the video here where we |
| 26s | talk about the development of update 8 |
| 27s | being a little bit Rocky we actually got |
| 29s | rid of all of our deadlines internally |
| 30s | and externally where we had no external |
| 32s | deadlines but we got rid of the internal |
| 33s | deadlines |
| 35s | um just so we could work on stabilizing |
| 36s | the game just a little bit of an update |
| 38s | on that we now have an internal deadline |
| 40s | range which is not the specific deadline |
| 42s | you guys are probably looking for and |
| 44s | we're not committing to anything |
| 45s | publicly but I just want to let you guys |
| 46s | know that right now we are aiming to |
| 48s | release at some point in June we'll see |
| 51s | how that goes |
| 52s | hopefully as time goes on we'll know a |
| 54s | little bit better when it might actually |
| 55s | come out and who knows maybe it won't |
| 57s | even be in June okay so just letting you |
| 59s | know what what we're thinking right now |
| 61s | just so you're aware okay anyway back to |
| 63s | the video let's move on the first |
| 64s | feature that's getting some love is the |
| 66s | parachute the power what uh I don't know |
| 67s | if many people use the parachute I don't |
| 69s | think I really ever did use it that much |
| 70s | but |
| 72s | um it's getting a bit of a rework and I |
| 74s | think that maybe a lot of people will be |
| 75s | using it a bit more now okay so the |
| 77s | parachute previously was a consumable |
| 79s | piece of equipment and that meant that |
| 81s | every time you use it it kind of got |
| 82s | used up but now in update 8 the |
| 84s | parachute will be non-consumable you |
| 86s | just gotta make one parachute and you |
| 87s | can just keep it and use it to your |
| 89s | heart's content so it's a great piece of |
| 91s | Kit to have in your uh backpack in your |
| 93s | inventory while you're exploring |
| 95s | um because you know it can kind of solve |
| 97s | certain situations that um jet packs |
| 99s | don't really handle so well and yeah so |
| 100s | I think it might be handy to have a |
| 101s | parachute on hand and the other thing is |
| 103s | they've also the gliding ability has |
| 105s | been improved and the movement speed has |
| 107s | also a bit improved as well so it'll |
| 108s | function better too so hopefully you |
| 110s | guys enjoy your time with the parachute |
| 111s | the next quality of life feature is |
| 113s | going to be about the zip line and that |
| 114s | is that zip lines are no longer |
| 116s | interrupted when traveling on ceiling |
| 118s | power outlets and also on power Towers |
| 120s | so some of you may have actually known |
| 122s | about the ability to zipline through |
| 123s | ceiling power outlets before and the way |
| 125s | this kind of worked is you would hit one |
| 127s | of those Nubs you'd fall off at it but |
| 128s | if you look up you would like grab on to |
| 130s | the next uh Power Line anyway you could |
| 132s | just keep going so it's basically this |
| 134s | new quality of life feature is basically |
| 136s | exactly that but it's improved now so |
| 138s | instead of falling off you just keep |
| 139s | smoothly continuously ziplining through |
| 142s | those ceiling Outlets to your heart's |
| 144s | content and the same functionality is |
| 146s | also extended to power Towers |
| 148s | um now this doesn't actually extend to |
| 149s | power poles as you could imagine the |
| 151s | poles are still kind of in the way of |
| 153s | your body so you will still Bonk into |
| 155s | those if you try and do that this might |
| 156s | raise a bit of a question like what |
| 158s | happens if the power line turns or if |
| 159s | there's like multiple like branching |
| 161s | power lines how is that handled and |
| 163s | basically you can just look in whatever |
| 164s | Direction you want to go in whilst zip |
| 166s | lining and you'll go that way so if |
| 168s | there's a branch that goes left and |
| 169s | right you look left you will go left but |
| 171s | on top of that you can also use movement |
| 173s | input Like A and D left and right you |
| 175s | can use those to override your the way |
| 177s | you look so you could be looking left |
| 178s | you hold down right or D and then you |
| 180s | will just take the right Junction uh |
| 182s | when you're doing that and this applies |
| 183s | for ceiling Outlets as well as power |
| 185s | Towers but one thing to note is that |
| 186s | there is an angle limit I think the |
| 188s | angle limit is about like a 60 degree |
| 189s | angle so if it's if the if the power |
| 191s | line turn is more than 60 degrees you |
| 193s | can't continuously do that but you know |
| 195s | you could maybe just jump off and then |
| 196s | reattach or something like that but yeah |
| 197s | I saw a bunch of people reacting to last |
| 199s | week's video up here if you haven't seen |
| 201s | it yet and and a lot of people have |
| 203s | theorized like wait can you can you |
| 204s | zipline continuously through the power |
| 206s | Towers because that would make a lot of |
| 207s | sense especially with zipline Sprint |
| 209s | mode and yeah you guys were you guys |
| 210s | were right on the money uh you can do |
| 212s | that also just decide real quick |
| 213s | something that um a lot of people have |
| 216s | asked questions about the power Towers |
| 217s | is whether or not those two the two |
| 220s | lines on power towers are uh two |
| 223s | separate power lines or are they just |
| 225s | aesthetic and they're just aesthetic |
| 226s | they're actually one power line in terms |
| 228s | of your power network but they are |
| 230s | aesthetically just two and you can't to |
| 232s | plan on either one other little feature |
| 233s | coming to the zipline is the ability to |
| 235s | right click toggle to zipline so |
| 237s | previously you would have to hold left |
| 238s | Mouse button while zip lining and then |
| 240s | you let go of a left Mouse button to hop |
| 242s | off but now you can just right click to |
| 245s | attach yourself and let go of the mouse |
| 247s | and you'll stay on the zip line and then |
| 249s | you can right click to get off okay so |
| 251s | that's another bit of a quality of life |
| 252s | feature with a zip line conveyor belts |
| 254s | are also getting some love in update 8 |
| 256s | which is great because we build a lot of |
| 257s | them there are two new quality of life |
| 259s | features coming to conveyor belts and |
| 260s | pipes for that matter but like all of |
| 262s | these features apply to conveyor belts |
| 264s | and pipes and the first one is actually |
| 265s | something that we've leaked actually uh |
| 267s | back in the blueprints video video up |
| 269s | here if you haven't seen it and some of |
| 271s | you with Keen eyes actually have spotted |
| 273s | it before and that is that belts and |
| 276s | pipes will now automatically be built |
| 278s | with their appropriate stand when free |
| 281s | placed on the ground so previously you |
| 283s | would have to build a conveyor pole then |
| 285s | attach the belt to that and then you |
| 288s | could build out from that and that |
| 289s | building will have a conveyor pole |
| 290s | automatically attached if you place it |
| 292s | on the ground but now even if you free |
| 294s | place conveyor belts or pipes on the |
| 296s | ground they will come with their |
| 297s | respective poles the second Improvement |
| 299s | coming to belts and pipes is a bit more |
| 301s | of a niche case but I'm sure many of you |
| 303s | have actually run into it before if you |
| 304s | play the game a lot so as we all know |
| 306s | free placing belts or pipes is a |
| 308s | two-step process you click once to place |
| 311s | it where you want and then you set the |
| 312s | height right you look up and down and |
| 314s | then you click again that's the second |
| 316s | phase to actually build the the building |
| 318s | right so you can place the belts or |
| 320s | pipes wherever you want and then you can |
| 321s | set their height however in update 8 the |
| 323s | change that's coming is that the |
| 324s | validity of the belt or pipe build |
| 326s | itself the entire validity of it will be |
| 329s | determined by the second phase of |
| 331s | building as opposed to the first phase |
| 333s | of building what this means now is that |
| 335s | you can now place the first phase of the |
| 337s | belts built down even if the belt or |
| 340s | pipe's initial placement is invalid or |
| 342s | too steep and then you can adjust the |
| 345s | height to where you need it to be so |
| 346s | that maybe at that point it's valid |
| 348s | right and that's basically what this |
| 351s | this little quality live update |
| 352s | addresses the dismantle feature is |
| 354s | getting an unreasonable amount of love |
| 355s | this update and I'm all for it I've |
| 358s | spoken about the blueprint dismantle |
| 359s | mode that's coming to allow you to |
| 361s | dismantle uh entire blueprints in one go |
| 363s | but now I have the pleasure to introduce |
| 365s | to you all the dismantle filter feature |
| 368s | I guess it's called so dismantle |
| 370s | filtering is a feature that lets you |
| 372s | point uh your cursor at a building you |
| 374s | can highlight a building you can press G |
| 377s | to filter on that building and then from |
| 380s | that point on you will only be able to |
| 381s | dismantle that kind of building or |
| 383s | highlight that kind of building you can |
| 384s | now freely switch your filter to |
| 386s | something else whenever you want by |
| 387s | looking at something else and pressing G |
| 389s | or if you look at the same kind of |
| 390s | object again you will you can just press |
| 392s | G again and that removes the filter also |
| 395s | each time you exit and enter uh |
| 397s | dismantle mode the filter will be reset |
| 399s | as well so you have to deal with that |
| 401s | the other really cool thing about this |
| 402s | feature is that it also works on |
| 403s | blueprints so you can enter blueprint |
| 405s | dismantle mode and you can filter entire |
| 407s | blueprints so that when you're looking |
| 410s | at all your buildings around you you'll |
| 412s | only ever highlight or be able to |
| 414s | dismantle uh blueprints of the filter |
| 416s | type that you've got set which I think |
| 417s | is really handy but also dismantle |
| 419s | filtering is an independent feature to |
| 421s | mass dismantle which is probably where a |
| 423s | lot of your minds are going like how |
| 424s | does this work with that but they're two |
| 426s | independent features which means all of |
| 428s | their features can be used independently |
| 430s | or with each other and this is where |
| 432s | dismantle filtering really shines I'm |
| 434s | sure you guys have been in many |
| 435s | situations where you're trying to tear |
| 436s | down a production setup and you're using |
| 439s | masses mental to do it and you're |
| 440s | accidentally highlighting foundations |
| 442s | when you don't want to delete |
| 443s | foundations and this is a great use case |
| 445s | for that because what this means is that |
| 446s | you can freely change your dismantle |
| 448s | filter while Mass dismantle is still |
| 450s | working as well so you can set a filter |
| 453s | highlight a bunch of buildings |
| 455s | set another filter continue highlighting |
| 458s | a bunch of buildings in the same as |
| 459s | dismantle and for example if you never |
| 460s | filter for your foundations you'll never |
| 462s | highlight your foundations it makes |
| 464s | tearing down production lines really |
| 465s | really easy without modifying the the |
| 468s | structural Integrity of your uh of your |
| 470s | of your factory now some of you might be |
| 472s | scratching your head and wondering |
| 474s | um wait didn't we have something like |
| 475s | this before and actually we did it just |
| 477s | wasn't really talked about that much |
| 478s | there wasn't a lot of like uh feedback |
| 481s | for it or anything like that either and |
| 483s | it was a little bit more I think in my |
| 484s | opinion a little bit more confusing to |
| 485s | use so this feature sort of existed and |
| 488s | was introduced in update seven and so |
| 490s | this feature is actually a rework of |
| 492s | that and I think it's in a much better |
| 493s | State now uh so that you can you know |
| 495s | freely dismantle your factories uh more |
| 497s | effectively I think with more control |
| 499s | another quality of a live feature which |
| 500s | may actually not be quality of life you |
| 502s | guys will have to let us know actually |
| 504s | is the uh the first person Trace uh has |
| 507s | been adjusted |
| 509s | um and this is because I don't know if |
| 511s | you guys knew this or not uh but the |
| 514s | first person Trace has been misaligned |
| 517s | to the reticule for many many years and |
| 520s | so what this sort of means is that like |
| 521s | the reticule is not actually a perfect |
| 524s | indicator for what you're aiming at |
| 525s | basically and so some players might have |
| 527s | noticed this |
| 528s | um as it might have been hard to aim at |
| 530s | smaller buildings like like wall power |
| 532s | outlets for example and it has also been |
| 534s | quite noticeable especially if you're |
| 535s | looking directly down below you as you |
| 537s | can as you can see here so now uh the |
| 540s | update to this is that the trace should |
| 542s | be exactly where your Crosshair is your |
| 543s | reticule is |
| 545s | um and so you will actually select what |
| 547s | you are aiming at now the interesting |
| 549s | thing here is though is we don't know |
| 551s | why it was the way it was before and |
| 553s | it's entirely possible that there's some |
| 555s | like big brain uh you know 1000 IQ |
| 558s | reason for it to have been the way it |
| 559s | was before so if you guys feel that it's |
| 562s | like off or bad now give it some time |
| 564s | adjust to it but if you think there's |
| 566s | anything wrong with it |
| 567s | um or that there's some use cases where |
| 569s | it would have been better for the trace |
| 571s | to be as it was before please let us |
| 573s | know QA site comments below or whatever |
| 575s | um QA site would be better after you get |
| 577s | updated actually |
| 579s | um yeah let us know because we can |
| 580s | always put it back I guess but we don't |
| 582s | really know why it would have been the |
| 583s | way it was before another major major |
| 585s | rework and something that a lot of |
| 587s | people have been commenting for and |
| 588s | requesting for such a long time |
| 591s | and it's so exciting to be able to tell |
| 593s | you about it now actually |
| 595s | um and that is that jet packs can now |
| 597s | use different kinds of fuel jet packs |
| 600s | can now use solid biofuel fuel turbo |
| 602s | Fuel and liquid biofuel so now in the |
| 605s | equipment UI players can now set their |
| 607s | preferred fuel type and this fuel type |
| 609s | will be what is used uh if it's |
| 611s | available in your inventory by default |
| 613s | now if that fuel runs out and you have |
| 615s | other fuel in your inventory it will |
| 617s | automatically switch to other fuel types |
| 619s | when refueling the jetpack and if your |
| 622s | preferred fuel isn't available |
| 624s | um the default priority order of what |
| 626s | fuel the jetpack will automatically |
| 628s | switch to is the same as what you can |
| 629s | see in the menu and so you might be |
| 631s | wondering what what do these other fuel |
| 632s | types do do they just last longer or |
| 635s | something or or what do they do but |
| 636s | actually they each have different |
| 637s | properties solid biofuel this is going |
| 639s | to be a really really basic fuel type |
| 641s | that people can use before they have |
| 643s | fuel production because solid biofuel |
| 645s | can be somewhat automated pretty |
| 647s | decently well early on and this has the |
| 649s | same speed and power as normal fuel just |
| 652s | a slightly slower acceleration and it |
| 655s | burns up quicker resulting in less air |
| 657s | time so we can't reach as high basically |
| 659s | as normal fuel normal fuel this is the |
| 661s | default fuel that you all have been |
| 662s | using with jet packs before it's |
| 664s | basically the same but it has been |
| 665s | tweaked a little bit so that it gives a |
| 667s | bit more upwards momentum so it should |
| 669s | feel a little bit less sluggish when |
| 670s | you're using it so a little buff to a |
| 672s | regular fuel turbofuel has a faster |
| 675s | acceleration and speed allowing the play |
| 677s | to reach much much higher and quickly |
| 679s | boost themselves up on large buildings |
| 681s | or high Cliffs it also has slightly |
| 683s | increased air control to match the |
| 685s | higher speeds basically so that you can |
| 687s | kind of move as you intend and liquid |
| 689s | biofuel we don't actually expect players |
| 691s | to use this that much since liquid |
| 692s | biofuel can't be fully automated but it |
| 695s | is mostly the same as regular fuel but |
| 698s | it burns far far slower okay so this |
| 701s | actually allows players to reach up |
| 702s | really really high and glide for |
| 704s | actually super insane distances and so |
| 706s | you might be actually wondering for |
| 707s | example |
| 708s | um side-by-side comparisons of these how |
| 710s | high you can go with each jet pack from |
| 713s | a straight burn and so here's a little |
| 714s | demonstration of that now and you can |
| 716s | see solid biofuel goes up to around 16 |
| 718s | meters 16 17 meters regular fuel goes to |
| 720s | 28 meters turbo fuel goes to about 52 |
| 723s | meters and liquid biofuel goes to just |
| 725s | under 62 meters so about 60 meters and |
| 727s | so the last feature I think this is the |
| 729s | one that y'all have been waiting for |
| 730s | this is the last feature that I'm going |
| 732s | to be talking about today that's going |
| 733s | to be coming to update 8. quality of |
| 734s | life feature is going to be |
| 736s | fire rocks can now be destroyed with |
| 739s | explosives that's right gas pillars gas |
| 741s | pillars the fart rocks throwing Nobles |
| 744s | got them and they explode you just need |
| 745s | one Obelisk and they fall apart and it's |
| 747s | and it's actually it feels so good it |
| 749s | feels so good to see those things just |
| 751s | die |
| 752s | God so many people have been asking for |
| 755s | this so I'm so excited to be able to |
| 757s | tell you about it now now there's really |
| 758s | not much more I can say about this we |
| 760s | all know how annoying they are you throw |
| 762s | a bomb at it and they go away that's it |
| 764s | so I there's not much more I can say but |
| 766s | what I can do is let's put together a |
| 767s | glorious Montage of watching these guys |
| 770s | Fall to Pieces enjoy |
| 777s | [Music] |

| 849s | this point Thank God those things are |
| 850s | gone well anyway video can only go |
| 853s | downhill from here so I better wrap it |
| 854s | up quickly if you like the quality of |
| 856s | life features smash like consider |
| 858s | subscribing let us know in the comments |
| 860s | below which features you're most excited |
| 862s | for uh is probably gonna be the fart |
| 863s | rocks but if there's any other ones tell |
| 865s | us about those as well have a lovely |
| 867s | weekend everybody and I'll see you guys |
| 869s | uh next time take care bye |
