[2023] Update 8 World Showcase in UNREAL ENGINE 5

Transcript (by Youtube)

0s	Chuck Chuck Chuck let's go
5s	it's time to party
8s	hey everyone my name is Jason I'm the
10s	community manager at coffee stain
11s	Studios and today's gonna be a very
12s	different video okay we actually just
14s	have a big Vlog that we're just gonna
15s	drop it's from one of our streams at
17s	twitch.tv coffee stain Studios devs
19s	where Hannah joined us snoot and I on
22s	the Stream
25s	you hear that I'm trying to work here
26s	come on
28s	um yeah how to join us on stream with
30s	snoot and I and we we just basically
31s	opened up Unreal Engine 5 and flew
33s	around the world in update 8 and we
35s	checked out all the different nooks and
36s	crannies people had questions we took
38s	requests if people wanted to see
39s	something we went and checked it out
40s	answered questions along the way and
42s	showcased basically what the world sort
43s	of looks like right now in update 8. I
45s	think it's really interesting behind the
46s	scenes look of things but it's also you
48s	know information and details about
50s	update that you might be interested in
52s	learning so I thought that this would be
54s	really interesting for you guys
56s	um one disclaimer real quick is that in
59s	the engine
60s	um the performance is not indicative of
62s	how the game will perform when it's
63s	built uh nor nor how the game will look
66s	okay so just keep that in mind right in
69s	the engine in the editor things aren't
70s	as performant and don't really look as
72s	good either as it will in in the final
74s	thing so don't use that as an indication
76s	this is just a Showcase of what the
78s	world looks like and what like the
80s	process kind of looks and feels like I
81s	think it's really interesting uh one
83s	quick thing before we move on to the VOD
85s	right is I just want to say a massive
87s	thank you for the feedback and response
89s	that we got from last week's video link
90s	up here if you haven't seen it which is
92s	about the state of development for
93s	update 8 and that things have been a
95s	little a little rocky a little touch and
96s	go a little little house around that if
98s	you ask me all right
99s	um and
101s	stupid everyone was super kind and
103s	understanding and uh appreciative of of
106s	our efforts you guys had a lot of nice
108s	things to pass along to the team so I
110s	really really really appreciate it part
112s	of me wants to be like I'm so surprised
114s	that you were so kind and supportive I'm
116s	not surprised you guys have always been
117s	this kind of supportive so thank you
119s	thank you so much it's part of the
121s	reason why I feel comfortable to make
123s	that video where I just go hey things
125s	are looking so good and I know you guys
127s	will have our backs so really appreciate
129s	it um thank you so much for that anyway
131s	without further ado
133s	the VOD it's a couple hours grab some
136s	coffee grab some stacks and I'm gonna
137s	get out of your way now have fun smash
139s	like if you enjoy it
141s	we are joined by Hannah
145s	I can never pronounce her name Burger
152s	so I'm just gonna preface sort of what
155s	we're gonna be doing here we're actually
156s	going to be showing off stuff in editor
158s	which we kind of did this for update six
160s	and I had to remind myself it was update
161s	six not seven we were hoping to capture
163s	more b-roll for the video that we put
166s	out but we've been struggling with the
169s	video capturing stuff for uh for this
173s	particular update
174s	um so there wasn't as much b-roll as we
176s	were hoping but we're gonna try and and
178s	mitigate that by showing you pretty much
180s	everything I mean maybe not everything
182s	but as much as we can uh today leaking
185s	everything
187s	essentially yeah uh we're also gonna be
189s	talking about some of the we're going to
191s	dive deeper into some of the aspects
192s	that we talked about in the video with
193s	uh
195s	the different areas
197s	um is there anything else you want to
199s	like preface preface this section with
201s	Hannah before we
204s	straight up
208s	still working in the world so a bunch of
210s	the stuff you're gonna see is still
212s	working progress so you know if you see
214s	floating rocks that's definitely
215s	intended the other stuff is not
218s	if you see floating rocks you know who
220s	to blame we need to like have we need to
222s	have an encounter my specialty whenever
224s	you see a floating floating Rock Counter
226s	yes
227s	chat you're gonna have to keep track of
228s	that
230s	um so the first thing that we're going
232s	to talk about that I've sort of sort of
233s	set up here already is this is a shot
235s	that I wished we could do uh to the
238s	video
240s	um one thing we talked about in the
242s	video and it's kind of weird I guess to
243s	start with this but the the world
245s	perimeter that I have with the game has
247s	been sort of like up until now it's been
250s	sort of like cut off so like it feels
251s	like you're on this island more so than
252s	you're on like a part of the planet
254s	right
255s	so there's been a bunch of new Vistas or
258s	World parameters added
260s	and this is one at the edge of the swamp
262s	so we get the swamp here in the
263s	background
264s	uh cornering with uh oh I love that one
267s	over there yeah I guess this is also
268s	waterfalls or whatever yeah
272s	uh and the one I'm working as magic and
275s	then you have the one over here uh from
277s	from the the thumbnail
281s	one of my favorite thumbnails we need to
283s	animate that
285s	take the song
287s	yeah yeah we can do it I can sing this
290s	yes
291s	I'm gonna get DM State
294s	um
295s	so yeah pretty cool oh this is yeah this
297s	is my favorite one this big Creator is
299s	sick one one uh almost thumbnail was
302s	like doing something with the clip here
304s	uh but I couldn't quite work it out
307s	so yeah is there anything I mean here it
310s	is chat I don't know if there's much to
311s	talk about well hang on here hang on
312s	here nominal Joe this is a hell of a
314s	JPEG it's not a jpeg these are this is
316s	the other thing to talk about here so
317s	first of all not all areas uh will get
321s	these Vistas for update eight only some
323s	of the areas that we did needed it most
325s	will have it but the intention is to do
327s	it with the rest of the errors and the
329s	other areas will still have like water
330s	or whatever but these areas here they
332s	they're not jpegs they're like actual
334s	like large assets that are put out there
335s	and I I believe Ben I wasn't Ben I'm not
339s	sure if it was just Ben uh but we use
341s	the tool okay uh we use a pool called uh
344s	I think it's called Gaia or something
345s	which helps like generate these like
346s	massive massive uh uh pieces that we
349s	could use for the Vistas in the in the
351s	background there which made the process
353s	of making these things uh easy or easier
357s	also one thing also to mention is that
360s	uh I'm driving today usually it's Hannah
364s	controlling the uh the stuff but
367s	technical difficulties who would have
370s	thought made it yeah we're having a bad
373s	run yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah we're
375s	having it back
376s	is there anything new in the swamp
378s	that's interesting to talk about no no
381s	nothing all right where do we even start
383s	Chad where do you want to go like do I
386s	do we just I mean I have a couple things
387s	on my list but if there's any particular
389s	areas that you guys are interested in
391s	looking at
392s	um then you know we'll go there and
394s	check it out well you suggested there's
396s	a question we'll take some questions as
398s	we go as well this might be interesting
399s	from the Lash uh what biome have each of
404s	uh you spent the most time in during
406s	development uh so when I scan read this
409s	I read a different question which was
410s	what biome has taken the most effort to
414s	uh or have you spent the most time
415s	developing which might be an interesting
417s	question but also in terms of like
420s	and what have I spent probably like for
423s	me maybe like Rocky does it or something
425s	like that or um
427s	for me personally because that's where I
429s	play a lot that or grassy fields I feel
432s	like I've spent the most in rocket
433s	desert as well yeah
436s	but uh Hannah what biome is taking the
439s	most time to develop
440s	I can I can give you
443s	the the the
444s	technically correct answer because
446s	Northern Forest is the oldest biome in
449s	the game it's the first one on this map
452s	that was made and so it's also the the
454s	one that's gone through the most changes
456s	and iterations so we spent the most time
458s	there because it has existed the longest
462s	there's like one area that I remember
464s	when I played the very first version of
466s	satisfactory that was like I guess oh
468s	yeah originally a starting zone maybe uh
470s	yeah and it's like where is it it's like
472s	between
474s	I I think I think it's uh kind of the
479s	normal starting zone here like here yeah
481s	exactly yeah yeah this is it right here
482s	this area is the oldest oldest yeah yeah
484s	yeah yeah yeah yeah
485s	this is where we always start oh it's
487s	changed so much
497s	so for those who are interested we have
500s	a video where uh I sat down with our CEO
503s	Stefan and we talked about like the
505s	various iterations of satisfactory and
507s	like the prototyping faces that's on our
509s	YouTube channel
510s	uh and this area is is heavily like uh
513s	there's there's a part of that video
514s	when it comes to the later stages of
516s	satisfactory where this area is like
517s	kind of came to be and most of that
520s	video is like in this area in this like
522s	where I'm building like a little Factory
523s	here
524s	um yeah it's wild to look at this area
526s	now and look at from that video
529s	yeah like it's a much more uh empty it's
533s	much more teal like the respect when we
535s	have teal grass kind of as a default and
537s	just very very different vibe in general
540s	and like the the this landscape was much
543s	more open leading towards this area
545s	because I think like one of our starting
546s	zones was like here or something and you
548s	walk down like uh
550s	waterfall Maybe
552s	I think or something like that
554s	I can't remember
555s	but uh yeah this is this is the area I
558s	think of what I think of like
560s	the early stages this this area reminds
562s	me of the uh the um hand mining
566s	um minigame yeah oh yes it's true yeah
571s	yeah for those who don't know there's a
573s	there's a video that probably you and
575s	Stefan talked about but there's also
576s	like a video that I had made from 2017
578s	which is actually has been uploaded to
581s	the YouTube channel
582s	um where you can see that in the past if
584s	you wanted to hand mine something from a
586s	deposit you have to like time your
589s	clicks with this little mini game and it
591s	was super obnoxious but I think I think
593s	the motivation for that at that time was
594s	like to to discourage hand money and and
597s	encourage you to move on from it or
599s	something like that yeah but it turns
600s	out they were probably just better ways
602s	for us to accomplish that uh yeah
605s	yeah one thing I should also mention
607s	probably is that uh we're in editor
609s	right now and in editor everything is
611s	not loading the same way it does in the
613s	game so sometimes foliage would look
615s	kind of strange
616s	um um and it's like partly because
619s	uh I have it on like a weird setting it
623s	makes it like more smoother to like work
624s	in editor uh so like it the the stuff
627s	you see in editor here doesn't
628s	necessarily reflect what it's going to
630s	look like in the game because in editor
632s	is also loading a bunch of other [ __ ] uh
634s	that very heavily ties down the editor
638s	um and uh so there's there's like a
640s	bunch of issues with like grass not
641s	loading in properly and stuff like that
643s	and that's not like reflective in the
646s	game because in the game it doesn't
647s	actually load the same way I think yeah
649s	or something like that it's like some of
650s	the cliffs here also will like not have
653s	grass at all it's the same deal there
655s	like they will load in in-game but in
656s	editor they don't load in at the moment
658s	yeah it's a it's a new tool that we've
660s	been using to optimize kind of how our
663s	Grass Works because in the in the past
667s	we've painted grass on top of cliffs uh
671s	to to make sure there is stuff there so
674s	it's grass was painted as a foliage type
676s	when it was not on landscape which is
678s	extremely unoptimized uh and basically
681s	it it just it's not great for
683s	performance so we have this new tool
685s	uh
686s	that projects grass on cliffs but in
690s	editor you don't see the grass on the
692s	cliff so you see empty Cliffs
694s	it's like in editor but in game they
697s	would have grass so it's kind of a yeah
700s	so here's one area that I think a lot of
702s	people want to check out and it's the uh
704s	yeah
706s	um and I believe the shot we used in the
709s	video is over here it doesn't reveal too
711s	much but I think this this is like
712s	roughly what you saw in the video this
714s	is what it is yeah so
716s	exactly so when this shot as you can see
718s	now you can have those those pillars on
721s	the left and also the pillars of
723s	sandstone on the right like all the
724s	Sandstone stuff is brand new and a lot
727s	of the the Great Clips have been
729s	converted here to make the transition a
732s	lot nicer so transition from the desert
734s	into like sparkles and reinforest here
737s	now we've taken care of keeping them in
741s	roughly the same spots
743s	uh as the Great Clips but since they're
745s	shaped so differently the two sets uh
748s	there's bound to be some differences
752s	so hopefully it won't really break too
754s	much but there's a good chance some
756s	things will be strange
758s	from the conversations that we had uh
760s	Hannah yeah I feel like this is probably
762s	the biggest candidate area for Cliffs
765s	swallowing up Factory buildings I don't
767s	know if many people built here but like
769s	if you do yeah there is an oil oh yeah
772s	yeah there is a chance yeah there's
774s	probably people have built here and yeah
776s	the the landscape itself shouldn't have
778s	changed too much uh and the cliffs like
781s	we try to place them as inoffensive as
783s	possible when we do any changes
785s	but uh you know you never quite know
788s	what the impact is going to be
792s	so yeah that's what it looks like I
794s	don't know if uh
796s	when you go deeper into it as a canvas I
799s	don't know how much has changed here
802s	yeah it's all the foliage has changed
804s	here because we
806s	we've essentially made it a transition
808s	biome instead of a kind of a separate
810s	biome It's usually the the way we think
814s	of a biome is that each biome has its
816s	own climate its own theme its own like
818s	asset sets and stuff like some biomes
821s	will share assets with each other
823s	uh but this one it kind of just it was
826s	so small and it it was kind of like this
829s	Nexus between four different biomes in a
831s	way that we figured that it might be
834s	nicer to just make this full-on
836s	transition area
838s	um so we've converted it entirely into
840s	transition spaces so we've taken assets
843s	and themes from spiracles from learning
847s	forest from Titan forest and from Dune
849s	desert
850s	and kind of like try to mix them in ways
853s	that made sense so make everything kind
856s	of feel like less of a harsh transition
858s	essentially this part in particular is
861s	pretty interesting I feel like because
862s	it's like it's like three different
864s	biomes ish that's like joined up
866s	together here ish it's like it goes up
869s	into Northern forests uh like in this
871s	direction and it's going out to like the
874s	the maze Canyon and stuff entitle forest
876s	and then over here it's like going to
878s	the desert
879s	yep
880s	that's fun these transition areas are
882s	always
884s	interesting I assume to make because it
886s	feels like it's uh those are the hardest
888s	ones to make they're pretty tricky yeah
890s	because you kind of gotta find assets
893s	that match between areas
895s	and sometimes that's
897s	very hard
898s	because some areas are somatically in
901s	and Palette wise so different that it's
903s	kind of hard to find commonalities and
906s	then usually what you do to make a
909s	transition kind of nicer is to remove
911s	assets over time to kind of have like
913s	more empty spots that are kind of more
915s	neutral usually like making it kind of
918s	Rocky Works Sandy sand and rock is a
921s	great way to transition things
924s	yeah it's an interesting character
925s	because they're pretty Universal got the
926s	mix here between this here
928s	yeah
931s	uh duct tape Jake us is just running in
933s	up under 105 yes it is yes uh and then
936s	also uh another question which uh I
939s	think is fairly relevant
941s	um
942s	is will we see changes to the road slash
944s	path Network yes and I believe that's in
948s	an area of Focus right that has been an
950s	area of focus because a lot of the areas
952s	we've been tackling in this update are
954s	ones that kind of had navigational
955s	trouble
956s	in the sense that like they're either
959s	hard to navigate for vehicles or they're
961s	even hard to navigate on foot like red
963s	jungle is very easy to get lost in uh in
966s	the past
968s	uh and so we we've been very much having
971s	a focus on building kind of these
973s	natural roads that don't necessarily
975s	look like traditional roads but still
978s	kind of allow for free-form vehicle
981s	travel or allow you to build more easily
984s	uh in ways so you're not blocked as much
987s	in that yeah like a big truck trains
989s	sixth floor whatever you want to take
991s	would work there so in we've done that
995s	in Rocky desert we've done that in uh
997s	Eastern Dune Forest
999s	uh we haven't really done too much of
1001s	that in time for us because it's more of
1003s	a an exploration area so the focus there
1005s	lies Less on being able to travel
1008s	through it and more on having those
1009s	Ventures I think it's that makes sense
1011s	to have some areas that like are not
1013s	intended for trap you know so you have
1015s	to yeah for vehicles so you have to find
1017s	other means to move around yeah exactly
1019s	and red jungle so it's been more
1021s	suitable for on foot traversal but uh
1025s	it's not super great for vehicles
1027s	because it's a an absolute it's a kind
1029s	of like an end game
1031s	Adventure Place yeah wait but uh red
1035s	jungle has that gotten some path work
1038s	done to it at all
1041s	footpath smart oh okay oh not not so
1044s	much for vehicles because yeah I
1045s	remember there being some changes to
1046s	pass but it's footpaths I get it yeah
1048s	exactly we'll show that how to get
1050s	around it I guess a little better we'll
1052s	get to that part I just need to like
1054s	pull up uh the uh I think I feel like I
1056s	need to pull up the map with the changes
1058s	uh just so I can remind myself again
1061s	what actually has changed uh uh plan map
1065s	changes we have on our press kit for the
1067s	record we have
1070s	um if you check on under update eight
1071s	there's like a section where uh Jace
1074s	made these like
1075s	uh together with Hannah there's like
1078s	plan map changes with sections of the
1081s	map in regards to like what we're
1082s	planning to do with this update but also
1083s	in the future so if you're wondering
1085s	like how will the map still change like
1088s	that's the best place to go to to check
1090s	it out uh I could links in the chat
1092s	right now you did okay cool I was just
1095s	about to I got your Fame yeah
1099s	um because it doesn't according to the
1102s	plan map changes in update uh there's
1105s	not too many changes in like
1107s	uh whoops I tried to I just try to open
1109s	an OBS then move the camera uh I don't
1112s	think there's too many changes like in
1114s	the desert or no we haven't made any
1117s	changes in teen desert yeah uh I think
1120s	one thing that some people picked up on
1123s	a couple of weeks ago when we're showing
1124s	specifically this Vista is like since
1127s	we're moved to nanite this is unrelated
1128s	in five and we're using nanite on is it
1131s	all the cliffs now or is it just like a
1133s	subset of clips
1137s	sure
1138s	sure I am not I'm not uh
1142s	is that a Ben question it's a then
1144s	question yes so so uh there's a lot of
1148s	manite in the scene actually
1150s	yeah so so this is a representation of
1152s	everything that's using nanite which is
1153s	unreal it's like it's what it's
1156s	essentially when it's streaming in parts
1158s	of the mesh uh so like if you're very
1161s	far away from a mesh it will only load
1162s	in like the triangles that actually
1163s	rendered
1165s	uh the main benefit of us doing this is
1168s	we don't need to rely on lods for a lot
1171s	of objects in the scene
1173s	um which makes it so that like when
1175s	you're far away we used to have like
1176s	these uh models that we'd like to switch
1179s	out so like the further away from
1180s	something it starts switching out models
1182s	with nanite you don't really need to do
1184s	that anymore because it's like doing
1185s	that on the same model it's just
1186s	changing like the um how like highly
1189s	defined the model is depending on how
1191s	far how densely the yeah okay uh and the
1195s	real benefit for us specifically on
1199s	doing on the cliffs is that they look a
1201s	lot more detailed on in the distance
1202s	compared to how they did it used to look
1204s	like yeah damn it really specifically
1207s	like I'd love to see a side by side or
1209s	something maybe yeah do one day but yeah
1214s	um
1215s	wait do I have it wait maybe I have it
1217s	actually one second oh
1219s	we it'll it'll cut off
1222s	audio maybe we'll see it was this one so
1227s	this is update six seven seven
1230s	uh and then switches to
1233s	update 8 here
1236s	oh damn so you can see the like
1239s	the difference in if you check the uh is
1243s	it good oh wow yeah so much more detail
1246s	yeah I think the mic was on for that
1248s	yeah hopefully
1250s	um do it again
1253s	yeah
1255s	yeah the sharpness look I mean oh man
1257s	can you proceed like just a couple
1259s	frames is that easy to do or yeah oh man
1262s	like I wish I could point at what I'm
1263s	looking at here but like uh how do I
1266s	just some of the structures in the
1268s	distance you can see yeah like
1270s	they look sad and muddy before but then
1272s	they're like crisp even the close-up
1275s	stuff because the lighting it works so
1277s	much better with it yeah that's true
1278s	that's true because the all the normal
1280s	mapping on the
1282s	on the uh sorry
1284s	on the cliffs makes this also lighting
1286s	looks a lot more detailed Jesus okay
1288s	give people a little bit of a warning
1289s	when you come come back to my face
1292s	jump scare a thousand people Jesus
1294s	Christ yeah
1297s	um and uh one question that I get a lot
1301s	is whether we're going to use nanite for
1303s	foliage and at the moment I don't think
1305s	we will because it's a lot of work that
1307s	needs to be done
1309s	um and it's not like a thing where we
1311s	can just convert easily all the foliage
1313s	on the map uh to nanite unfortunately
1317s	I know that I know that our real has
1319s	tools to convert meshes to nanite but
1322s	unfortunately it probably it doesn't
1323s	work out for our foliage apparently I
1326s	don't know the details Ben just gave me
1328s	the the rundown
1330s	um
1331s	uh we essentially need to like rework
1333s	all the foliage on the map and it's just
1335s	too much work for us at this point
1337s	um I poop fish get help if you're
1339s	pooping
1341s	um big trees are nanite too are they can
1343s	you enable nanite Vision no I don't
1346s	think so okay uh it might be though
1349s	let's see maybe maybe the titanforce but
1352s	there's
1353s	there's their place aesthetic measures
1355s	they're not foliage oh okay yeah so the
1357s	trees are also nanite 14. essentially
1360s	function as Cliffs do but they're yeah
1362s	giant trees instead which also
1365s	completely new and I saw a question come
1367s	by about being able to walk around the
1370s	branches and yeah you should be able to
1372s	there shouldn't be the the usual
1374s	Collision around them that completely
1375s	blocked you from approaching them you
1377s	should be able to actually you can make
1379s	little tree houses yep
1381s	that's the idea
1385s	there you go there you go that's where I
1387s	can show Collision I think there is uh
1389s	no it should be it's like
1391s	is it this one I don't know if it's
1394s	player Collision if it's oh let's see if
1395s	it crashes
1396s	oh there might be a lot of collision
1398s	actually
1399s	oh no get ready for imminent crash
1402s	wait wait wait for it a little scary
1407s	wait for it
1408s	I think you gotta be crushed
1410s	oh
1411s	let's go let's Little Machines doing it
1414s	yeah
1416s	by the way little machine this isn't
1418s	even on my this is actually on a
1421s	completely different computer uh and
1424s	it's a pretty beefy one too and it's
1426s	still kind of struggling so uh oh yeah
1429s	but it's mostly this like visualization
1430s	stuff that's heavy especially this one
1433s	in particular let's see how long oh why
1435s	did you do that
1437s	because I'm curious
1440s	this one yeah that was initially
1443s	yeah no it's also it's also like it does
1446s	usually fine when you have a small
1448s	section of the map loaded but when you
1450s	have the whole map loaded that is a lot
1452s	oh yeah I've loaded the entire thing
1454s	with that even the high-end ones it's
1457s	that was also not something we could do
1460s	this is also based on the world
1461s	partitioning system which we discussed
1463s	in the Unreal Engine 5 Tool stuff but it
1466s	I it's really in this area that you're
1468s	working Hannah where I think you you
1470s	guys are taking most advantage of that
1471s	system
1473s	uh with how you sort of work
1475s	uh with the environment yeah I mean just
1478s	just any of the later map changes like
1480s	once I switch to Unreal five like with
1483s	the new world petitioning especially
1484s	once it got kind of like um
1487s	we got a little map in engine where it
1490s	could select essentially which area we
1492s	want to load
1494s	um and that makes it both easier and
1497s	harder to to work in similar areas but
1502s	also because like normally if you would
1503s	do any work in a tile like if you would
1506s	move a tree in the tile it would check
1509s	out the tile now it just checks out the
1512s	tree which means that we can technically
1515s	work in similar areas at the same time
1518s	as long as we don't touch the same
1520s	assets
1522s	um so it's been nicer in the sense that
1526s	we've been being able to work much more
1528s	accurately and the nice thing about it
1529s	too is that the loading for you all is
1533s	going to change and be much more
1535s	optimized because it's not going to load
1536s	a whole [ __ ] tile
1538s	uh when you get close to it anymore it's
1540s	going to load like smaller parts of it
1542s	yeah have you relevant to you have you
1545s	uh have you personally noticed uh
1547s	benefits in that area when you jump like
1549s	actually into the game and run around or
1553s	not per se
1556s	per se mostly because uh unreal 5 itself
1559s	is pretty uh right so yeah it's hard to
1563s	compare to the it's it's hard to compare
1565s	but like in the game itself probably yes
1567s	uh but in in engine it's very different
1569s	uh because of how things are loaded yeah
1572s	and I also I don't actually play that
1575s	much I kind of have this weird thing
1577s	where I I'm so familiar with this game
1580s	at some point also yes brand new Rocky
1582s	desert hello first first look
1584s	uh this is an area I'm currently working
1587s	in so you're gonna be able to see some
1589s	in-progress stuff here like some of the
1591s	LEDs of stuff is broke are broken as
1593s	well but
1595s	um
1596s	I've been doing a lot of work here with
1599s	foliage and and refining Landscaping
1603s	uh because this area
1605s	of out of all the starting areas was the
1608s	longest one ago that we've touched so it
1611s	was a lot of old stuff was left here
1614s	so it took quite a bit of work I
1616s	remember when we were talking about the
1617s	Spire Coast uh that like you mentioned
1621s	how
1622s	the style or whatever like how when you
1625s	wouldn't realize things like how to
1626s	detail the map and like how to work with
1629s	it that you keep going back and be like
1630s	now I've improved like how to do it so
1632s	now I want to go back to the old areas
1634s	that were technically finished yeah uh
1637s	because and I feel like rocket as it was
1638s	like there was like a huge contrast
1640s	between like rocket asset being like one
1642s	of the oldest areas like how it was made
1644s	compared to like sparkles which was the
1646s	newest area like brand new shiny and
1648s	then like really old yeah yeah
1652s	um but this was an area that we didn't
1653s	have too much b-roll off because uh I
1656s	didn't have time but also I wasn't too
1658s	sure what areas were new in the rocket
1660s	doesn't because at that time I'd only
1662s	worked on some smaller parts of it now
1665s	the majority of it had
1667s	into the new stuff yeah
1670s	um I think one one part of this that was
1672s	interesting to me when you were showing
1673s	me around how to and this is more of
1674s	just like Minor Details was like if you
1676s	can go forward a little bit to that road
1678s	uh snook this is gonna be really hard to
1680s	give you directions so follow this road
1681s	keep following keep following keep
1682s	following keep following keep going keep
1683s	going and stop around here just these
1686s	transitions are out with these slopes
1687s	here on on the right there yeah um and
1689s	also uh just you know just smooth that
1691s	kind of things out and then there's like
1692s	some small rocks that have like sand
1695s	coming down off the side of them I think
1696s	there's some to the left of you snip and
1698s	forward
1699s	um yeah if we go a little further and
1701s	then to the right there on your right
1703s	yeah yeah right there so like you can
1704s	sort of see like these little details
1706s	where it's like uh yes
1709s	perfect so it's just kind of like the
1711s	the scent the erosion from the scent
1713s	kind of like
1714s	reaches up a little bit to the rock face
1716s	you know kind of just like these tiny
1718s	little details which weren't impact
1719s	things much but I think it was like a
1720s	really nice attention to detail yeah
1722s	exactly there was a lot of rough
1724s	Landscaping in this area too like a lot
1726s	of really uh like sharp ridges uh and
1730s	kind of weird
1731s	gravel and Cliff painting that was done
1734s	on a landscape here which I've mostly
1736s	also made much more subtle and much more
1738s	kind of the transitions are much gentler
1741s	now instead of kind of like that harsh
1743s	cut off lines
1745s	um that we've had before and most of the
1747s	landscape changes that I've done here is
1749s	moving it lower and smoothing it out
1751s	which means that ideally it shouldn't
1754s	clip into the factory but underneath
1757s	instead so you know at first we have
1760s	some floating stuff
1761s	I hope there might be some Corners where
1764s	it's a little bit more iffy but it's
1765s	really it shouldn't be too bad
1769s	so one thing we talked about before the
1771s	stream was this like abroads
1773s	specifically and you mentioned it here
1775s	on chain two that like a lot of areas
1776s	have gotten roads that's new this is a
1779s	road that didn't exist at all before a
1781s	lot of places here a lot of the kind of
1783s	things that were kind of almost roads
1786s	but not quite because they were blocked
1787s	in specific places or they were too
1789s	narrow or things like that I've improved
1792s	to to be much more suitable for vehicles
1795s	and so now you can instead of there
1797s	there are no dead ends anymore or at
1800s	least a lot less of them and you can
1802s	actually just go around the area much
1804s	more smoothly than before
1807s	then here's here's a shot if you guys
1810s	remember this shot
1811s	oh
1813s	this is uh won't be announced signals is
1815s	this
1817s	exact tree
1819s	there it is
1821s	the cacti have been fully reworked too
1823s	oh let's do some cacti
1842s	it's got some toxic material in it and
1845s	we're all tripping balls now are we all
1848s	Saka from everything yeah
1851s	that's a Pokemon yeah it kind of looks
1853s	like what's the oh what's the name of
1854s	the Pokemon oh
1857s	is that it I can't remember I think it's
1859s	Sudowoodo right it's like
1862s	fourth third generation wait
1865s	yeah it's Pokemon Gold right gold and
1867s	silver a character always Final Fantasy
1869s	that's the difference yeah right see
1871s	we've got rainmakers yeah pretty sure it
1874s	is cacturn cactoon maybe it's that turn
1877s	yeah
1879s	wait so are these new I don't know why
1882s	but I just thinking yeah I mean there
1884s	were cacti before but we did a full
1886s	rework of them yeah
1889s	palm trees oh cool sick yeah I like that
1895s	a lot of like assets kind of uh oh
1900s	my pride and joy
1902s	floating rock that that counts as rock
1905s	progress I don't know Hannah
1909s	someone's colors someone said before pay
1913s	rise for Hannah you need to understand
1914s	yeah yeah balance in all things
1918s	she makes it perfectly balanced crazy
1921s	things and then does that yes and then I
1924s	ruin it with one this stick yeah
1928s	you cannot make mistakes we're gonna pay
1931s	for you
1932s	we've done a lot of color balancing in
1934s	this area too like tweaking colors of of
1936s	assets and landscape and stuff to kind
1939s	of make the palette uh nicer as well
1942s	some people were asking yeah a few
1943s	people have asked about the shore and
1945s	the beaches of this area oh yeah that's
1946s	stuff that I haven't touched yet so this
1948s	is stuff that's still in progress and we
1951s	could say that this is an area without
1952s	Vistas here so you can it's kind of yeah
1954s	now you can see some more flooding stuff
1956s	floating farts
1958s	I don't know Hannah
1960s	um
1964s	the entire area at once all right okay
1967s	I'll go stop the vibe for this
1970s	but uh I think I saw someone talk about
1973s	a part of the shore here that's like at
1975s	the very left top corner uh that had
1979s	like a lot of clams and stuff that made
1981s	it really hard to drive there those are
1984s	have been removed and this is serious
1987s	about that area yeah exactly but oh this
1989s	looks very different yeah yeah and uh
1994s	plus the word the other assets there are
1997s	also going to be uh moved around so that
2000s	it's gonna be actually uh there used to
2003s	be a rock here uh yeah exactly there's a
2006s	lot of deprecated assets which means
2007s	other assets that aren't deprecated or
2009s	floating because they were painted on
2010s	top of deprecated assets
2012s	those are new uh like we have a new
2015s	version of these that replaces the old
2017s	versions of those
2018s	yeah this is all stuff that's still like
2021s	half done I've removed a lot of stuff
2023s	here a lot of deprecated assets but I'm
2026s	gonna add the new stuff later and a lot
2029s	of Chef stuff
2031s	does this area loop around if you drive
2034s	here I'm trying to remember
2035s	and you go over here
2038s	this just goes oh this goes down to the
2040s	yeah it's yellow enough that I can make
2042s	a road there once I remove all the
2044s	assets uh right that would block you but
2047s	yeah up here oh this goes up here for
2048s	sure and then there's like the oil stuff
2050s	over here right and now you're in an
2053s	area that I'm working on right now this
2055s	is exactly what I promote oh live up
2058s	this yes
2060s	this one's in progress oh man the Vista
2063s	in the back though oh yeah like isn't
2066s	that sick very nice I managed to get the
2068s	planet perfectly in line through yeah
2073s	uh signpost Mario saying lots of content
2076s	to update for blamehana.com site now
2079s	well you gotta um you gotta make sure
2082s	you gotta check it after it's released
2084s	all right because it might get fixed
2085s	before then
2086s	mm-hmm all right so it doesn't count
2089s	unless it's live exactly
2094s	uh cool is anything else in this region
2098s	that's interesting to show off
2101s	uh I mean if you go down that little
2103s	Valley there uh on the left Uh I that
2108s	was full of really old Coral assets that
2111s	were all deprecated uh so I've removed
2115s	those
2116s	uh and I will be replacing this with
2119s	other stuff
2121s	um so now this one looks a lot more
2123s	empty than it was before that's luck and
2126s	a lot of floating stuff because it was
2127s	placed on the coral on the coral yeah
2129s	yeah yeah I mean that's something I
2131s	should should uh tell you too because
2133s	when we do World updates to an area like
2136s	after that's done level comes into fixed
2139s	stuff
2141s	um so most likely like uh kind of more
2145s	the gameplay things like slugs uh
2148s	animals
2150s	like Summer's Loop versus spheres that
2151s	kind of stuff will not be updated yet in
2155s	this area once it goes live
2158s	um because that takes uh more time after
2161s	I'm done
2162s	it's all very in progress and empty
2165s	because we do oh yeah and this cool area
2167s	that if you go through the rock on the
2169s	right yep yeah are you mean here yeah
2172s	exactly this one also very different
2175s	uh this one had a lot of weird lasting
2179s	things and also old assets and I've
2181s	fully converted it to be a transition
2182s	area between Northern forests
2188s	it used to be green which was kind of a
2191s	Hard Sell
2193s	um for a place that that's in a desert
2196s	right
2199s	oh I think this is really different
2201s	actually because I've got stuff built
2202s	here yeah I just realized is that Inlet
2204s	different as well or am I imagining
2206s	things no no I haven't
2208s	haven't changed the shape of things here
2211s	there used to be a slug on this
2215s	someone's Heads Are Gonna Roll
2217s	oh it's gone now no wait I might be
2220s	misremembering actually because I think
2222s	I think the one of the thingies spawn
2224s	here one of the Hogs Hogs you spawn here
2228s	yeah
2230s	the the folks that are worried about
2232s	their factories here it should be fine
2234s	I've mostly done landscape painting and
2237s	foliage to work here so if you have a
2240s	chainsaw you're gonna be A-Okay I've
2243s	done some landscape sculpting as well in
2247s	kind of the higher up area mainly but
2250s	it's all essentially been like lowering
2252s	landscape so it should all be good
2258s	I can never fully predict what's gonna
2261s	happen here
2262s	anymore and I haven't done stuff up here
2265s	yet but only down wait isn't there a
2267s	iron thingy up here somewhere there it
2269s	is oh my God this looks very different
2270s	yeah I've just
2274s	a question from uh bits Hannah have you
2277s	played around with any bioluminescence
2278s	for plants just for visuals
2283s	illuminescent plants in general and
2285s	yeah yeah yeah
2286s	we love that stuff we have some in caves
2289s	right we have some in caves uh we have
2292s	some in Titan Forest
2294s	and I mean we have also of course the
2297s	North Forest of the acorns Industries
2299s	are bioluminescent
2300s	I don't know if it shows up let's show
2302s	an editor no it doesn't show up with
2304s	this lighting system you need a
2306s	different one
2307s	um to change the time of day for the
2310s	yeah the assets to update with the Bible
2312s	I think this one only updates the
2316s	uh
2318s	yeah it doesn't update the material it
2319s	only changes the directional lights in
2321s	the scene yeah exactly so uh I don't I'm
2324s	not sure if we can show that off here
2326s	sadly no but yeah technically we could
2328s	but then we need to load it to the game
2330s	we love bioluminescence it's great it's
2333s	it's we always think it looks great so
2335s	we tend to add it to areas if we can
2341s	um is there is there a cave here that's
2344s	new in this area
2347s	there there's K's we can show off and
2350s	just
2351s	um
2353s	wondering which one we should pick I
2356s	think okay so it's not the one with the
2358s	because you sent not the one with the
2360s	thing if that makes sense okay yeah okay
2363s	Hannah knows what I'm talking about yeah
2365s	I think I do yeah uh because I think
2367s	that's actually in this area maybe
2371s	you sent me two you sent me two when we
2373s	talked about this you sent me two links
2374s	and one of them has okay with that thing
2376s	in it yeah uh now uh
2383s	uh uh kind of the the Rocks between
2385s	swamp and desert Canyons
2388s	that that have a little bit of Titan
2389s	force on top of them because there's a
2391s	cave below there
2393s	that has been worked on
2397s	uh let's see here all right
2401s	yeah okay uh turn the 180
2407s	is it not the waterfalls right not the
2410s	waterfalls caves no there's there's one
2412s	like oh waterfalls cave confirmed uh I
2415s	didn't say that you're no this is not we
2418s	are they visible if I do this by the way
2420s	this is an old one this is
2423s	because it used to be so the way it used
2425s	to work we had like a separate loading
2427s	system for the caves specifically they
2429s	were part of like a subtitle which is
2431s	three separate levels but now it's all
2432s	together oh nice
2435s	um so they should pop like if I just go
2437s	through the world they I should be able
2438s	to spot them maybe
2440s	right
2448s	okay so okay if you start yes 180 180
2454s	this Direction that's more than 180 but
2456s	sure go left
2459s	for the left for the left further left
2462s	oh it's like on the other side of this
2463s	one
2472s	it's good great y'all treasure hunt yeah
2474s	yeah
2476s	okay go further left
2478s	basically you need to go to the rock
2480s	wall not where the waterfalls are but
2482s	where the the kind of the outshit of of
2485s	Titan trees are gotcha yeah exactly that
2488s	you're going the right way okay now go
2489s	low
2490s	underneath these rocks there you go yep
2492s	yeah you got it here you go
2495s	oh this is where I shot the [ __ ]
2496s	Beetle
2499s	I knew about this one one angle I was
2503s	thinking of doing for the b-roll was
2504s	like this shot
2506s	yes this is kind of weird uh has been
2509s	fully converted but uh so the b-roll in
2512s	the video is I think is where did I take
2516s	this shot I think it's from here or
2517s	something
2519s	I think this is the shot I used in the
2521s	video
2523s	something like that
2525s	it's got some like working progress
2526s	waterfalls here uh yeah the water's all
2529s	in progress and it keeps going here
2534s	yeah I didn't do this cave by the way uh
2537s	this was my intern
2539s	okay then we can get some great work
2541s	here
2542s	come on editor what's going on
2545s	oh boy it's really struggling there we
2548s	go it's coming back I think it was
2549s	loading in something does your intern
2550s	have a name
2552s	uh I don't know how much she wants to oh
2556s	yeah maybe yeah
2559s	that's true
2562s	cool
2565s	this I actually remember this cave
2567s	before we changed it and uh it was very
2570s	empty
2571s	I don't remember these like what are
2573s	these archers like these like stepping
2575s	arches here though before
2579s	there's like uh better jump puzzles here
2582s	as well
2583s	the navigation here has been improved
2587s	people are liking the uh the cave stuff
2589s	it does it looks really good
2591s	this is also another area where where
2594s	when showing it off in editor we don't
2596s	get the full experience I would say
2603s	in the caves I would say because the
2605s	lighting doesn't really look uh the same
2609s	in editor right now as it does in-game
2612s	uh and I'm scared of doing play from
2615s	here because it can really come yeah
2618s	that's dangerous
2619s	um we might do that further closer to
2622s	the end of the stream we're like we're
2624s	not as dependent on the editor as much
2625s	where if the editor breaks down it's
2627s	okay yeah yeah so ask can we build in
2629s	this cave now yeah if it's converted
2631s	like this you can totally build an
2632s	escape if you really want so sparkly
2634s	purple things mean it's safe to build
2636s	yes
2639s	until we change exactly if the editor is
2642s	struggling does that mean the game will
2643s	struggle too no no the editors will
2645s	struggle more than the actual game does
2647s	because the editor is doing way way way
2648s	more
2651s	um like dynamically as well with the
2653s	stuff that's in the game then what will
2655s	actually be when we when we export the
2656s	game and cook it cook it all down
2659s	um so editors always always slower also
2663s	the actual game at the moment I have
2665s	loaded the entire map uh you have the
2668s	entire map loaded right now yes yes
2670s	that's actually quite impressive yeah
2673s	yes
2674s	um this was not this was Technic this
2676s	was sort of doable before too uh but it
2679s	just it was a hassle but now I have
2681s	actually loaded the entire map in one go
2684s	uh and it is it is still doing a little
2687s	bit of like when it's streaming in and
2688s	out assets as we're moving along
2691s	um there can be but there can be spots
2693s	definitely where like if I'm high up and
2695s	it's like loading in a ton of stuff at
2697s	the same time I think there's still some
2698s	distance calling happening on some stuff
2700s	you can see when we're moving around
2701s	yeah I think I've seen some as well
2702s	because I think at the moment when we're
2705s	in that cave I think it was loading in
2706s	some of the assets that we hadn't loaded
2708s	before and it's probably compiling a
2709s	couple of shaders as well yeah
2714s	um but yeah it's fully different too
2717s	because it's part of uh Titan forest's
2719s	transition area and I think it was
2722s	pretty much empty before we hadn't shown
2724s	off too much of the Titan form we
2726s	haven't really shot off time first no
2728s	um let me see if I can find the spot in
2730s	the teaser uh it's like over here
2735s	it's really tricky because I get lost
2737s	here a lot
2739s	uh yes okay yeah you gotta go further to
2742s	the right because that's approaching the
2744s	area that's still in progress
2747s	there's like a lake somewhere
2750s	small like
2753s	like it's not this one oh yeah it's
2756s	further uh yeah that way but on top of
2758s	rocks so right right right right right
2763s	up left far right there you go there you
2766s	go yeah yeah
2768s	that's the area where the shot the
2769s	teaser
2774s	there is no deposit on that node by the
2776s	way I just added it because it looked
2777s	better it's a teaser I know some people
2779s	commented on that uh yeah actually no
2782s	deposit there actually
2784s	um
2784s	yeah this area has been essentially
2788s	received a full overhaul I um like all
2791s	the big time trees have been replaced
2793s	and all of all of the foliage has been
2795s	replaced and I've also redone pretty
2797s	much all of the landscape painting
2799s	uh the sculpting and changing of cliffs
2803s	not so much
2805s	um we tried to keep it
2807s	mostly the same if we could
2810s	uh but yeah the and the centuries are
2813s	all in the same spots as was mentioned
2815s	in the video hello so they shouldn't
2817s	affect your factory
2819s	but yeah foleys will pop back up so
2821s	that's uh because the trees are the hip
2824s	box of the trees are a bit smaller than
2827s	probably yeah
2829s	oh that also reminds me there might be
2831s	some stuff popping up like uh
2835s	like random Vehicles might pop up here
2838s	while flying around ignore that that's
2840s	not supposed to be they rent a vehicle
2842s	um
2843s	I don't know why but sometimes there's
2846s	been like stuff that
2848s	it's like a little bit of confusion
2849s	sometimes because sometimes when I've
2851s	been working on these trailer related
2853s	things uh some we need to sometimes when
2855s	we're working the same scene we need to
2857s	commit the changes we're doing
2859s	uh sometimes I've committed stuff that's
2862s	not supposed to be on the map
2863s	accidentally uh
2866s	so uh just be aware of that
2869s	I think it's when you're just browsing
2871s	through this area now unless you're like
2873s	a reasonably play through this area I
2875s	don't think many people might think that
2877s	like to notice that there is a lot of
2879s	changes here but if you do a
2880s	side-by-side comparison like this area
2882s	looks very new
2884s	yes I mean you could go to the the
2886s	corner that hasn't been converted yet to
2889s	the new set and you couldn't show off
2890s	how it looks when how the old stuff
2892s	which corner is that is the uh it's
2895s	close to Bamboo Fields it's like that
2897s	that wall of cliffs before that wall of
2901s	cliffs okay so like it's kind of like
2903s	between yeah normally down here
2908s	yeah
2910s	I mean yeah that's that's old Titan
2913s	first
2915s	let me turn around that didn't work damn
2918s	it 360. yeah so you can see yeah on this
2922s	side here's the new kind of stuff uh
2924s	that I've been building and on on the on
2926s	the other side of the river you get more
2929s	of the old stuff
2930s	you got like nice purple highlights here
2936s	transitions into Northern Forest more
2939s	colors yeah
2940s	uh can also mention I think we mentioned
2943s	a couple of times but the water the that
2945s	you see on throughout almost the entire
2947s	map right like uh is probably gonna
2950s	change as well
2951s	uh that's this Lake stuff is like the
2954s	material is pretty good like that one I
2956s	think is yeah I think I think this one
2958s	there's a couple of places where you can
2959s	see like a harsh transition between like
2961s	water and between areas
2964s	uh and like the waterfalls in particular
2967s	as well I think uh they're all
2969s	placeholders because we have like this
2971s	new water system that we we're gonna get
2974s	a ride to it someday when I say we I
2977s	mean Ben because Ben is the one who
2979s	needs to sort of uh shout outs to Ben
2981s	yeah thanks Ben helps a lot he's got too
2983s	much [ __ ] on this plate
2985s	um question from bacon of War are you
2987s	using procedural foliage are you placing
2989s	Shrubbery uh By Hand by hand
2993s	all by hand try hard
2999s	for crying half of the time a lot of the
3002s	rocks that you know when people say like
3004s	a floating Rock are like okay rocks
3006s	aren't literal foliage they're not trees
3008s	but uh in terms of unreal unreal engine
3010s	are rocks considered foliage objects
3013s	they are right so they're part of the
3014s	foliage system
3016s	um and and so like I hopefully like
3018s	there's a bunch of people here hopefully
3020s	we've seen like how much detail is like
3022s	in the world I mean I guess you guys
3023s	have seen that before but you've also
3024s	seen how there's like uh we've seen like
3026s	a lot of floating slugs other floating
3027s	rocks because certain assets are
3029s	deprecated and removed and like there's
3031s	so many things everywhere hopefully this
3034s	like the scale of like what we're
3035s	working with and how many changes there
3037s	are I think if you take that all into
3038s	consideration and the fact that there
3040s	are some rocks that float
3042s	it's actually a very like quite a good
3045s	achievement that like we we come across
3047s	them every now and then considering how
3049s	many assets you you place yeah we've
3053s	never we've never been more than two
3054s	people working on worlds yeah um
3058s	through line
3061s	um with that how are you guys like I
3064s	mean it's we have tools of course like
3066s	it's not by hand as if like I select a
3069s	tree and I place it and I turn it and I
3071s	scale it or something we have this like
3073s	painting tool
3075s	for which we can kind of set placement
3077s	rules like between certain scales how
3080s	how many kind of the the density of them
3083s	within a specific area uh kind of like
3086s	doing randomization turns so we don't
3089s	have to tweak everything by hand but we
3092s	still need to do that kind of painting
3094s	yeah Everywhere by hand I think again
3097s	sort of static meshes are placed like
3099s	that I think I can demo that yeah can
3101s	you demo it'd be pretty cool because
3102s	like it's like a paintbrush that has
3104s	like a bunch of different foliages that
3106s	can be painted and it's sort of like in
3108s	a way procedurally places them as you
3109s	paint but then you still need to review
3111s	and make sure that what you're placing
3113s	is what you want like at the end of the
3115s	day the tool just helps you place them
3116s	but it's not as if it's just like a
3118s	procedurally done by like an algorithm
3120s	completely
3122s	um Hana and crew uh somewhere empty uh
3125s	okay let's see here if this works uh
3128s	it's been a while since I did this
3131s	landscape who you are to I don't have a
3134s	yard but I do play The Sims so
3136s	technically you have a yard then you
3138s	have a yard in The Sims I absolutely
3141s	yeah so I can I can show this real quick
3143s	too because like when you when you talk
3144s	about Landscaping like the the way that
3146s	it works is we have like uh one mesh
3149s	which acts like a landscape which is
3150s	what you're sculpting on so like
3153s	like here for instance
3157s	um so like if I wanted to have like
3158s	that's like plan essentially this is
3160s	this is beautiful
3163s	beautiful look they're mirrors this
3166s	looks exactly like an actual Dune desert
3168s	right uh yeah yeah and then are you
3171s	watching Hannah taking notes Here Yeah
3172s	Yeah Yeah I uh yeah I'm learning so much
3175s	from the stream there's there's a bunch
3177s	of really cool tools here too like this
3179s	is like the erosion tool where like it
3181s	fakes what if water was Dripping on top
3184s	of this and stuff like that
3186s	um and then we have like sorry no that's
3188s	a Hider one wait good is the intern
3194s	is that one
3196s	exactly what I want yeah and then
3198s	there's the ramp thing here we're like
3199s	wait let me see if I remember to do this
3201s	you can create like
3203s	if you wanted to like create a fake ramp
3205s	rolling up here wait how do you do this
3207s	you need to like you have to apply it
3209s	right
3209s	oh it's different
3212s	so like if you wanted to have like be
3214s	able to drive up with a vehicle and you
3216s	want that flat kind of thing you can do
3217s	it that way uh there's also like if you
3220s	want this to be like a plateau thing
3221s	here you can do a flattened man sort of
3225s	like
3226s	yeah beautiful made a temple yeah and
3230s	then on top of the landscape you do
3232s	foliage painting
3233s	uh
3238s	wait it's in a different top within
3240s	Landscaping so it's cool oh yeah that's
3242s	true
3244s	um and this is this is oh yeah that's a
3246s	good product actually because like um if
3248s	you want to paint like where you want to
3249s	have like a path because the way we've
3251s	set it up is the landscape is like one
3253s	big materials essentially and then we
3254s	have like sort of layers for that
3256s	landscape so if you want to have like
3258s	green parts of the thing does it work
3261s	this way in this I haven't tried it out
3263s	in the way we set up here
3265s	uh
3266s	uh here beautiful right so like you
3270s	essentially paint what you want the the
3272s	like
3273s	what the landscape sort of texture will
3275s	look like and if you want to have like a
3278s	path or maybe like some kind of here's a
3280s	red jungle or something
3282s	uh
3284s	and then you you we have like different
3286s	ways to like blend them to make it look
3288s	better because right now I just painting
3289s	straight on and it kind of looks weird
3291s	when it's repeating yeah there's there's
3293s	ways you can but okay so here's one cool
3295s	thing though with this material is that
3297s	we have these like small bushes that
3299s	appear That's part of like the the layer
3301s	that I just painted on so like those
3303s	don't need to be placed manually those
3305s	are like part of the painting process
3306s	and then depending on how you paint and
3308s	sculpt
3310s	um they will appear in different ways
3311s	right
3312s	uh that's a good that's a good point
3314s	actually and then we have the the
3316s	foliage thing of a jig
3318s	where you pick sort of what assets you
3320s	want to paint uh so like if you want to
3323s	place a bunch of rocks here maybe
3325s	if the editor wants to cooperate hello
3327s	uh chat chat right now are torn between
3330s	uh don't commit and commit
3334s	git commit and get push forward I mean I
3338s	think it's it's honestly clear that I'm
3341s	gonna be out of a job soon because it's
3343s	not just natural [ __ ] pro at this
3347s	all right press one if you want snow to
3348s	commit it too if you wanted to revert
3351s	what do you what do you think it's still
3353s	working
3361s	yeah okay so here's here's how I'm like
3363s	I'm painting the red bushes like where I
3366s	want them I want them in this overall
3368s	section yeah so it's kind of like that
3370s	but then there's like a panel at the
3372s	side that gives you a bunch of settings
3374s	that can tell you this to make you
3377s	control the size of things the density
3379s	of the placement the rotation etc etc
3382s	yeah and then like how it's randomized
3384s	within the brush sort of right yeah
3386s	because like right now you're just
3387s	working with like this one red brushes
3389s	but you can have like your like palette
3391s	can be like little Bush rock and a tree
3394s	right and so when you when you paint it
3396s	paints Bush rocks and trees at whatever
3399s	density and Etc that you've
3401s	pre-configured right yeah yeah exactly
3403s	you can even paint like different assets
3406s	at the same time although that is kind
3408s	of risky to do because they don't take
3411s	into account the placement of the other
3413s	type of assets so that you'll get a lot
3414s	of clipping that way
3416s	um okay yeah and then you can also set
3418s	like density so like if you want I can't
3420s	remember if it's like the higher you go
3422s	the more appear I think it's the other
3424s	way around yeah yeah so like the lower
3426s	value density the less show up less
3428s	dense
3429s	exactly and then if I go full on one
3432s	this is what Hannah just mentioned
3434s	it's just
3435s	this is like a little chaos Vineyard or
3438s	something uh
3440s	yeah yeah so just like I guess you you
3443s	have like a subset of how do you define
3445s	that do you have like subset of like
3446s	okay now we're in Titan Forest which
3448s	means that these this is that subset of
3450s	assets that I can paint with uh yeah we
3453s	have filters for that in the fondage
3455s	tool where you can select oh my God you
3457s	do oh [ __ ] I've never seen this before
3461s	yeah this is new to me cool well
3463s	previously you had to like find every
3465s	asset myself like every time so this
3467s	saves me so much effort oh I'm so scared
3470s	of using this stuff because it might be
3471s	stuff here that we don't want to show uh
3475s	grass I think is safe
3479s	yes maybe we've demonstrated what we
3481s	needed I don't think there's anything in
3483s	there
3483s	in there it's uh all right there's
3485s	definitely something here that I don't
3487s	think uh I just noticed uh that we don't
3489s	want to show off
3491s	uh but this one looks fine because
3493s	there's a bunch of these I can like when
3496s	I see assets and this zero on the map
3498s	that's when I get a little bit nervous
3499s	yeah I mean that's usually deprecated
3502s	stuff yeah yeah
3504s	uh nothing there's there's no spoilers
3506s	in there it's just kind of like oh we
3508s	haven't used this in three years because
3510s	we don't want it
3513s	oh for some reason I can't apply the
3515s	chase the bigger dad
3518s	oh wow I wish you guys could see this
3521s	it's like it also has like a sub filter
3522s	too with like yep cool
3525s	the subfilters are the biofilters
3528s	um
3529s	it's like
3531s	salt water dead specifically yeah cool
3534s	awesome
3535s	um
3537s	what was the thing we were talking about
3538s	before we started doing this [ __ ]
3540s	uh well I actually have another question
3542s	which is sort of relevant to this or a
3543s	thing to talk about
3545s	um so one other thing that uh people run
3547s	into is indestructible some trees are
3550s	indestructible right yeah that should be
3554s	um now is the system for that the same
3556s	system that it has been for many years
3558s	that I I made
3560s	uh where you have to uh apply the
3562s	destructible type to certain foliage
3564s	types right and and so that so the way
3568s	the way that and it's a weird system and
3571s	it really is it doesn't really make
3573s	sense why it needs to be this way
3575s	um unless you Dive Right In but the way
3577s	the the way that this works is because
3579s	these foliage assets are they're all
3581s	like grouped into one thing and and so
3583s	so they're it's very hard to physically
3585s	test what tree is in front of me and you
3588s	have to do it
3590s	within the the instance it's kind of
3591s	weird
3592s	um and and so the only way to make trees
3596s	destructible is on their individual
3598s	foliage types you can see here there's
3600s	like little bushes uh there's like red
3602s	bamboo trees there's green trees you
3605s	need to go in each one of those asset
3606s	types
3608s	um and you you can apply certain
3610s	um uh uh like
3612s	uh
3614s	yeah settings
3617s	yeah Collision tag kind of thing
3620s	whatever like certain like objects
3622s	markers to them basically one of them is
3624s	whether or not they can be destructed
3625s	destructible parameters parameters is
3626s	the work I'm looking for thank you
3628s	um uh and and you can also apply like
3630s	whether or not it can be picked up
3631s	things like that and so whenever you
3633s	come across like certain type of tree
3635s	that should be should be able to be cut
3637s	down but but it can't be it's because
3639s	it's missing that tag and again like as
3641s	you can see there's so many different
3642s	types of foliage and I think it's not
3644s	even we can't necessarily just apply it
3646s	to each different type of foliage
3647s	because different areas use different
3650s	collections of foliage and you need to
3651s	apply them individually to those or
3653s	something like that so it's very easy to
3655s	to miss like one thing here and there
3657s	and then you get one area with one type
3659s	of tree that can't be cut down anymore
3661s	um yeah
3663s	yeah and it's also something like if
3665s	it's an asset that we're not sure we're
3667s	gonna keep or if it's an asset that
3670s	might be used in different areas then we
3671s	probably
3673s	don't really change the parameters until
3676s	we're very certain like how it's going
3678s	to be used and where it's going to be
3679s	used
3680s	and it's kind of uh like um probably a
3683s	big pasta will do kind of once we've
3686s	wrapped up most of our biomes where we
3688s	go over all of the assets and make sure
3690s	all the settings are correct and all the
3691s	collisions correct and all that kind of
3693s	stuff
3694s	so uh okay here's a good follow-up
3697s	question and here why aren't all trees
3699s	cuttable by default and that that makes
3702s	perfect logical sense but the way that
3704s	these foliages work under the hood uh
3708s	intuitively it is how you think but but
3711s	uh like actually in the implementation
3713s	in Unreal Engine how it works it does
3714s	that doesn't make sense like because
3716s	Unreal Engine doesn't know what a tree
3718s	is there's just foliage right and
3720s	foliage can be rocks in in terms of
3723s	unreal how Unreal Engine considers
3725s	things a foliage can be anything so
3728s	there's no there's no way to define what
3730s	is a tree what isn't a tree all we can
3732s	do is apply foliages to how like palette
3735s	and paintbrush and then tell Unreal
3738s	Engine which ones are destructible trees
3739s	and which ones are collectible bushes or
3743s	whatever after the fact there's no way
3745s	to really Define what isn't isn't a tree
3747s	beforehand so like even though that like
3749s	yes that makes sense and we wish it was
3751s	that easy that's just simply not how it
3753s	works under the hood and so we we can't
3755s	consider it that way
3757s	um yeah because one also one important
3759s	fact to this as well is how the foliage
3763s	Works in our game compared to how they
3765s	work in a real engine because the
3767s	foliage system that we have in
3768s	satisfactory is isn't like is a custom
3772s	solution and we've made for satisfactory
3774s	because the thing you mentioned Jace
3776s	where like when I click on this it it
3779s	highlights all the bushes right because
3781s	this is a big instance so when we render
3783s	the foliage we don't render like one
3785s	thing at a time we bulk them together
3787s	and send like the data to the dpu we
3789s	like render all this stuff which also
3791s	means that each individual tree is not
3793s	actually where it is no there's no
3795s	object there like we can see this tree
3797s	is at this location in the on the map
3798s	but there is no game object of this
3801s	plant that doesn't exist yeah it's
3804s	that's a hard thing to wrap your head
3805s	around but that's how it works yeah for
3807s	optimization reasons
3809s	um and in our game you can walk up to
3811s	this specific Bush and pick that
3813s	specific instance up and we have had to
3816s	make a system and I we've remade that
3818s	system three times now
3820s	um for various I've had to go of it
3822s	you've had a go of it right
3823s	uh and and now in up to date there's
3825s	going to be a new version of that folder
3827s	system as well
3828s	um where we sort of detect like which
3831s	footage did you pick up and the reason
3833s	why we've made it reworked it so many
3834s	times is because of multiplayer because
3836s	uh we need to be able to tell from the
3839s	server like which which Bush did you
3841s	pick up the problem is that all these
3843s	instances are not deterministic on
3846s	client and host uh they don't have like
3848s	a like this specific Bush doesn't have
3852s	the same ID on host and certain clients
3856s	um so we have had made to make a system
3858s	that kind of like
3859s	figures out which bush is which Bush and
3863s	then the added problem you mentioned
3865s	where like you also need to be able like
3866s	when you're looking at the bush so we
3867s	can highlight the bush that's another
3869s	problem and not the entire instance of
3871s	all the bushes exactly because in
3873s	default in a real engine if I want to
3875s	highlight this particular Bush here
3877s	it highlights the entire instant bulk
3879s	that's why we used to have that issue
3880s	way back when especially on multiplayer
3881s	where people are like uh on client I
3883s	can't pick up bushes and trees and I can
3885s	understand from a player's perspective
3887s	like this is like a basic thing why
3889s	can't I just pick up and it's like
3891s	actually it's really not that it's like
3893s	it's like a complete pain in the ass
3894s	it's like one of the most complex
3896s	systems we have in the game yeah yeah
3898s	it's like such a small part in the
3900s	overall game really and the benefit of
3902s	like dealing with this kind of stuff is
3904s	that it's very performant
3906s	but yeah after it because it makes all
3909s	these assumptions to become more
3910s	performant it also means that it's uh
3912s	harder to work with because it makes
3914s	certain assumptions that things work a
3915s	specific way when and then we go against
3918s	that yeah because I think I wonder if I
3920s	can do this uh I want to Nuke the planet
3922s	exactly
3926s	I can't remember what the command is uh
3929s	uh
3930s	whatever ignore that yeah so so uh yeah
3933s	the foolish system is is kind of custom
3935s	made for our game uh and uh
3938s	that's that's also one of the reasons
3940s	why it's it's a bit tricky for us to
3942s	just we can't replace it with nanite
3943s	because it's our own folder system
3946s	it doesn't go with the way epic has made
3949s	it uh cool there were something else on
3953s	my notes I kind of wanted to jump over
3954s	to Bamboo Fields if we're done talking
3956s	about this stuff something we talked
3958s	about in the title force that we want to
3959s	show off more
3961s	I mean I also I also want to address
3963s	like that there's there's always some
3965s	questions about terraforming and it's
3966s	kind of the same situation like it seems
3970s	logical from a real perspective that it
3972s	can just modify the terrain but in order
3974s	to support that in a game you need to
3976s	make an insane kind of system for it and
3979s	the way the landscape is generated
3980s	doesn't support that at all and we would
3982s	have to make a whole different system
3984s	for that and like seeing it like be uh
3989s	being done in the engine you have an
3992s	entire engine that facilitates that kind
3994s	of stuff our game does not have that it
3996s	would require us to like
3998s	create a whole bunch of different
4000s	features to do that and we don't really
4002s	see the benefit uh for this game of
4004s	doing that either of like how much
4006s	terraforming would add versus how much
4009s	work it would be to add that
4012s	um if a game is designed from the ground
4014s	up with that in mind of course yes it's
4016s	a part of that game it's part of that
4018s	vision and everything ties into that for
4020s	us it would be kind of a gimmick and
4022s	most
4024s	unless we address all the design issues
4026s	that come with it but that's that's a
4028s	whole can of work that would add years
4029s	to our development yeah literally and
4031s	and then at that point and then even if
4033s	we did it at the end we'd like is how
4035s	much better is the game maybe like two
4037s	percent better but yeah I don't know the
4040s	cost benefit like way it's just way way
4043s	heavier on the cost side so it's not
4045s	worth it for us to do these kind of
4047s	things
4049s	yep yep dope so let's let's move over to
4053s	uh
4054s	the the elephant in the room uh all
4057s	right no actually let's show up red
4058s	jungle first actually yes
4062s	I'm so I'm so happy I finally got to
4065s	work on this area because I was uh uh
4068s	the old red jump or the way the the
4071s	version of it that everyone still has uh
4074s	uh has the Christmas palette my my most
4078s	wait what is it green and red Christmas
4083s	I never liked it
4085s	so the story about red jungle is like
4087s	red jungle is one of the last areas I
4089s	worked on just before we went to
4093s	Early Access just before the game went
4095s	live for everybody and basically we
4099s	didn't really have the assets to make a
4101s	red jungle we didn't even have red like
4102s	landscape grass at that point
4105s	um so it kind of just made do with our
4107s	library and what we had at the time and
4110s	that was like
4111s	half of the stuff we actually needed
4116s	so now we finally got around to it uh
4119s	and I got to make it in a proper red
4121s	jungle so we had like yeah like full
4124s	repainting of the terrain uh the red
4127s	trees are still the same but like yeah
4129s	all of the Lancia painting is different
4130s	all of the small foliage just completely
4132s	overhauled it's it it is a proper red
4134s	jungle though actually
4136s	Oh no you're answering that the bamboo
4139s	feels tradition yeah go away go away
4142s	if anything it's like an interesting
4145s	kind of trend uh you know uh before and
4147s	after right I don't know oh yeah yeah I
4149s	mean this is looking super like dense
4151s	and Lush as well like in certain parts
4153s	super nice more towards the right you're
4156s	going to you're going towards bamboo
4157s	Fields uh so yeah I have to because the
4159s	thing for me I think also because you're
4161s	working with this Hannah but like part
4163s	of me is like wow that Booth feels still
4165s	kind of looks dope right now even though
4167s	it's in this weird State uh because when
4169s	I was scouting uh the teaser that got
4172s	scrapped the original first video we
4174s	were going to release uh I filmed a lot
4176s	of stuff in bamboo fields and then you
4178s	were like no it's all broken I'm like
4179s	well it looks cool though I like
4182s	I mean the ideas are there uh because
4185s	like with red jungle it was kind of less
4187s	so yeah here there's still here's one of
4188s	the examples I mentioned before
4189s	beautifully in progress yeah
4191s	so yeah this new water is is much better
4195s	uh it was kind of like this red
4197s	like red green
4199s	disgusting stuff on there before it was
4202s	bad
4204s	uh
4207s	yeah I also have something that changed
4208s	in this in this area that there's more
4210s	like open Parts more paths uh clearly
4213s	going through the area so is this less
4215s	like claustrophobic in general this is
4218s	shallow water right so you can still
4219s	drive here
4220s	uh some of it is some of it isn't yeah
4225s	because it's a lot of like more dense so
4227s	it's harder to like drive around here
4228s	they feel like this is more of a you're
4230s	under
4231s	foots
4232s	pathing here
4234s	yeah stuff like that exactly it's all
4236s	like that's all fairly new like the
4239s	passing that's there
4242s	I have to remind myself where I am
4244s	constantly because I keep getting
4247s	going we're going towards bambo field
4248s	because there's still a bit of it yeah
4251s	yeah
4251s	this all lower areas well
4256s	there's so much change happening to base
4257s	terrain uh in here no again it's like
4261s	it's all small changes it's like
4264s	smoothing and mostly painting and like
4267s	just getting rid of the rough edges uh
4270s	those kind of things it it shouldn't
4272s	affect you
4275s	uh not really
4277s	you know should again as always
4280s	you can hear the correct thing
4283s	into the nuclear
4284s	uh
4286s	there was a ridge somewhere around here
4288s	I don't remember if we used this footage
4290s	in the world video but there was there
4292s	was actually a shot that I made where
4294s	there was like a tick walking on like a
4296s	path
4298s	it was like shot downward I had to
4300s	remove like a whole [ __ ] rock to get
4303s	that shot
4304s	uh and we didn't use that shot I think I
4307s	put so much effort into that one oh well
4310s	still hurting yeah or at least the snow
4315s	cut yeah yeah who's this the snow cut
4318s	for sure yeah
4321s	yeah this this air is dope I love
4323s	um red jungle was one of my favorite
4325s	eras to run around and when I started
4327s	playing the game for the first time what
4328s	was wrong with you but that was
4330s	terrifying
4331s	oh yeah now we're going into bamboo
4333s	Fields it's such a dude I'm constantly
4336s	on the corner here like yeah yeah
4342s	yeah with the The overhanging Cliffs and
4344s	stuff oh yeah we can do that
4346s	let's go Gamers
4349s	oh does that actually be a pretty cool
4351s	like drone you know uh PVE drone which
4354s	is your drone hey editing progress area
4357s	this is
4359s	ignore that it's just that
4362s	go fast I gotta go fast and they do like
4366s	yeah
4369s	I'm about to throw up we're gonna we're
4372s	gonna have like 1600 people about to
4374s	throw 700.
4376s	oh here it is oh no oh wait it's there
4379s	that was not supposed to be there
4384s	commit commit it no this is already
4387s	committed
4388s	yes oh wait wait I wonder if it's
4391s	actually committed though because it
4392s	might be I'm still on my branch
4394s	but this is the shot I was working on uh
4397s	I had to remove like this whole thing
4399s	you I don't think I mean unless you
4400s	update it very recently and you got my
4403s	my rocket desert changes this is
4406s	yeah here it is a little guy
4410s	I'm just a little Beanie I'm just
4412s	hearing walking nobody don't worry about
4414s	me
4416s	I wonder if the uh voice voice acting
4420s	career oh yeah for sure hire me yeah all
4424s	right I will hey everybody if you want
4425s	to have understood as the first actor in
4427s	your game just give me a call okay bye
4429s	oh [ __ ]
4430s	fell through the world don't worry about
4433s	it uh what were we talking about the uh
4436s	the cliffs part oh yeah you're here
4438s	you're already there okay that was that
4440s	was the area this here like a lot of the
4443s	overhanging stuff oh yeah yeah hanging
4445s	rocks up there behind you above
4448s	yeah yeah the
4450s	is that like tights yes yes because they
4453s	hang on tight right
4454s	I was just guessing sure that's how you
4457s	remember it's a 50 50.
4459s	for work uh uh trick yeah
4464s	you might step on them
4470s	okay all right let's check out this area
4471s	over here uh cool flowers huh wow look
4474s	at that yeah and so enhanced you can see
4477s	a little bumblebee here or something
4478s	like that uh cool okay anyways
4481s	moving on is this new water no it's not
4484s	no it just looked like it was Rippling
4486s	and [ __ ]
4490s	we push up with the limo at true
4494s	cool uh do we is this now when we talk
4498s	about bamboo feel
4499s	this is the moment
4502s	I'm gonna go there now
4504s	uh we actually so fun fact
4509s	when Jace recorded this video uh he had
4511s	one set of information and then
4515s	um ass development went on things
4517s	changed so I I made like an addendum to
4520s	the video even in the addendum we
4522s	changed it nice yes
4525s	because it's a bit of a it's a bit of a
4528s	a tricky story
4530s	uh yes so now we're in bamboo field
4533s	which is like this area is a little bit
4535s	messed up or do you want to you can see
4537s	right here I think that the the small
4538s	paths is kind of they're there so
4540s	basically what happened here is that the
4543s	landscape and the foliage
4545s	are different versions of this area so
4548s	what happened is that we were working on
4550s	this area
4551s	and it went in the direction that we
4553s	weren't really happy with so we wanted
4555s	to revert it but the problem was this
4558s	happened
4560s	after our transition to Unreal Engine
4562s	five so reverting it would mean going to
4565s	the Unreal Engine 4 version of this area
4568s	which was impossible to do so we kind of
4572s	for a while we uh have the the problem
4575s	that okay we can't revert this
4579s	what do we do
4581s	um so but then Ben because he's a wizard
4584s	figured out a way to revert the area
4587s	partially but only the foliage so
4590s	basically what happened is that we got
4592s	most of the foliage back from the old
4595s	area the old version of this area but
4598s	all the landscape was still from the new
4600s	version that we weren't too happy with
4602s	so those two are now completely
4604s	disconnected so now we there's also
4607s	there's a lot of floating stuff here
4609s	there's uh the landscape in the foliage
4611s	basically don't really work together
4613s	anymore because they're from different
4614s	versions of the area
4617s	um so yeah Unreal Engine five good [ __ ]
4619s	blessing in disguise
4621s	very very well disguised uh but the
4625s	transition just works right yeah it just
4627s	works but which means that like we we're
4630s	gonna try to fix the worst of the bugs
4634s	here before the update so there's not
4637s	too much like in the way for people
4640s	uh but this area is definitely still
4643s	gonna change because of course we have
4645s	like the new Landscaping the old foliage
4647s	and neither is exactly as we wanted so
4650s	we'll be revisiting this area and giving
4653s	it a pass now what exactly that entails
4656s	we don't know yet we never really know
4658s	until I go into an area and I develop
4660s	the vision for it so I do a bunch of
4662s	tests
4663s	and I try to find you know new new
4666s	combinations what is wrong with it what
4669s	do we need to fix you know just finding
4671s	a vision kind of like we we do with all
4673s	the other biomes as well
4675s	but I think this area is going to change
4678s	the most from all the areas that are
4681s	still left
4682s	but I think that's kind of interesting
4684s	how like at the moment we don't really
4687s	know exactly what like we don't have a
4689s	vision for how Bambi boo bam Bambi
4695s	this is where the shooting happens
4697s	spoilers I mean I'm definitely we
4699s	definitely want to make the palette more
4701s	interesting because it's kind of very
4703s	one note now uh and there's there's a
4706s	bunch of rough Landscaping here that we
4708s	want to fix and also this is one of
4710s	those areas where we want to improve the
4712s	the pathing uh better roads do that kind
4715s	of stuff
4717s	um so that that's stuff that we're
4719s	hoping to get in for sure
4722s	but yeah it's impossible to to tell you
4724s	the details because we don't even know
4726s	that ourselves yet
4728s	we're we're doing one thing at a time
4731s	okay yeah yeah exactly right now I'm
4733s	very busy wrapping up Rocky desert
4735s	entire Forest
4738s	very cool that kind of helps a lot yeah
4741s	appreciate your work I want to see if
4743s	the area that I loaded in is is there
4747s	there's one place where
4749s	there were so many
4752s	no it's gone
4755s	one version
4757s	of this was just covered in these like
4759s	bamboo sticks uh oh yeah it's on the
4762s	it's on on the right like right end of
4766s	the
4769s	Oh you mean at least on the right edge
4771s	of the biome northwest's like very
4775s	Northwest the Northwest upper corner
4778s	flying as fast as I can hear this oh did
4781s	I miss it oh here it is like this for
4784s	example is like it's a cool idea yeah
4786s	but it's kind of terrible to play so
4790s	it's it's something that we wanna
4792s	we want to fix as well also
4794s	um on that note the bamboo is completely
4797s	new as well like the that asset's been
4799s	overmauled entirely
4801s	I thought it looked different yeah I
4803s	didn't know if it was because I I'm
4805s	rarely here or if it's because there was
4806s	a change but like we did that when we
4808s	worked on red jungle
4811s	Bambi looks great yeah
4814s	Bambi first
4816s	I mean yeah for for Avid chainsaw users
4819s	this is a great area yeah if yeah if
4822s	you're ever frustrated with the game
4823s	just come here exactly yeah
4827s	bring a bunch of cluster and Nobles and
4830s	just [ __ ] go ham uh I might even
4833s	thank you no no
4835s	that's actually how we we uh work on it
4838s	in order to just bring up Vince and here
4841s	Vincy just asked a question that
4842s	literally also just came to my mind it's
4844s	so weird because I it came to my head
4846s	and I looked at chat and it was there
4848s	and I had a weird
4850s	am I chatting is anything real is this
4852s	like the the move the not tenant the uh
4855s	Inception thing or like they went into
4857s	your dreams
4858s	yeah something it was very strange
4862s	um but uh yeah so it's
4864s	the point of the game is to destroy the
4867s	world and uh like uh industrialize it
4871s	and and remove the beauty of it but that
4873s	doesn't hurt you when you when you put
4875s	so much time into this no and the point
4878s	of things to remove it all
4880s	weirdly it doesn't you'd expect so but
4883s	for some reason no
4885s	um I part of it is uh
4889s	like part of it I joke about this but
4892s	I'm also a little bit serious about it
4893s	like something that I I here it is
4897s	that's not to do today again yeah that's
4900s	not supposed to be there
4902s	God damn it
4908s	so as guilty as possible for destroying
4911s	the environment and that's partially
4912s	true
4914s	um mostly I think that like
4919s	on a conscious and subconscious level
4922s	the environments have a lot more impact
4923s	on people than maybe they are aware of
4926s	because like the most important part is
4929s	really like first impressions are always
4931s	like the the most important with these
4934s	kind of things because that you're going
4935s	to carry that with you they're gonna be
4937s	like the lenses that you're gonna wear
4939s	for the rest of the game
4941s	um so I think it is very important to
4943s	make a good first impression with with
4945s	any biome
4946s	but also
4950s	I don't really mind that the point of
4952s	the game is destroying an area because
4954s	also it's not entirely it's the point in
4956s	the beginning because you kind of have
4958s	to but after that you can work with the
4960s	environment and I've seen some great
4961s	builds uh that use the environment like
4965s	really well and like you know like super
4967s	cool water fall factories or people that
4969s	have like little shrines with parts with
4972s	trees and Forest Parts which is crazy
4974s	yeah this is one of the shots that I was
4976s	working on yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
4978s	that's cool
4980s	um so yeah I don't really mind at all
4982s	because like a lot of the map also
4984s	usually is left untouched and people
4986s	still go out exploring and there's like
4988s	there's some players that really focus
4990s	more on exploring and some players are
4992s	focus more on building and then I do it
4994s	for the people that explore you know
4995s	it's it's really not but it really does
4998s	I I think I think like putting in so
5000s	much effort to the world just has so
5002s	much value because either people will
5003s	keep some of it there and then they get
5005s	to just continue to enjoy it or um or or
5009s	they'll uh they'll work with it if they
5011s	want that's another playstyle then they
5012s	can enjoy it in that capacity but then
5014s	like yeah removing it like it being so
5017s	beautiful and then removing it like
5019s	creates a Starker like difference right
5021s	like from uh and tells a bit more of a
5024s	story I think than than if it was just
5026s	like a sparse area that you know we just
5028s	quickly threw together because you would
5030s	destroy it anyway so yeah I think
5032s	there's more impact in every case I
5033s	think it makes it makes a lot of sense
5034s	yeah and like everyone will still
5036s	experience the area before they destroy
5038s	it like they're still gonna see
5040s	everything
5041s	um
5042s	I like to try to avoid destroying as
5045s	much as I can it's like an added
5047s	challenge
5048s	they're like can I how do I build
5050s	without removing the trees I often don't
5054s	remove stuff either I usually find
5055s	clearings myself I think I think I think
5058s	partly it's because I lack the vision to
5061s	be like if I remove the trees here this
5063s	will be a big you know I don't know like
5065s	if I was a more experienced Builder
5066s	maybe I'd be able to like uh see like oh
5069s	if I work if I destroy some of the
5070s	terrain I can work with this but usually
5071s	I just like look for stuff that already
5073s	makes sense to me in my brain and then
5075s	and then go with it so I end up not
5076s	cutting a lot of things down yeah
5084s	part I'm gonna get destroyed because I'm
5085s	just like oh but that looks good and
5087s	like I'm like oh no I built that I don't
5089s	want to touch it
5090s	it's it's mainly from what I play
5093s	when other people play I'm like and it's
5095s	just great it's just people having
5097s	options on how they want to play I'm all
5099s	for it it's not Wednesday destroy the
5101s	entire environment and as stretch 79
5104s	says in that case we want to build
5105s	upwards as in the sky and some people do
5107s	that you can do that too if you like and
5108s	then you don't have to destroy anything
5109s	if you don't want to
5112s	you can also kill the animals just go on
5115s	a killing spree because you can convert
5117s	them to biomass I believe
5119s	it's true yeah yeah exactly saves the
5121s	trees kill the animals yes Save the
5124s	frames kill the animals
5130s	um
5132s	let's see you mentioned the abyss Clips
5135s	we were talking previously as well that
5138s	one's received some Polish as well
5140s	this one is one of those errors probably
5143s	because there's so many Cliffs where you
5145s	won't see in the editor it won't look
5147s	super nice because the grass is missing
5149s	but right yeah
5151s	yeah I mean this one has a
5153s	has received some foliage polish
5157s	kind of we removed deprecated assets and
5160s	like added some some new ones to make it
5163s	more shiny and I mean we can also fly
5166s	through Eastern Durham
5168s	um
5169s	to show off some of the roads that have
5171s	been built there because that's like
5174s	pretty impactful so I think you say
5177s	Easton Dune is that like the Dune maze
5179s	or the Oasis or no the one that's called
5181s	Eastern Dune because that that was on
5184s	this map that I have Easter Dune forests
5186s	is is it next to it's between
5189s	grassfields and Southern forests and
5192s	Titan forest and bamboo Fields uh we did
5195s	some foliage polish here nothing too big
5198s	uh but the main change here is like
5201s	you're going already through it like is
5202s	we added roads
5204s	and this thing changed
5207s	like that note moved yeah
5211s	before but it looks kind of bad yeah
5215s	okay so we made it
5218s	interesting chat that's a pretty uh
5222s	I think what's gonna happen is you're if
5224s	you have machines on this note they're
5225s	still gonna work but they're going to be
5226s	hovering over here instead yep and
5229s	they're going to be like consuming from
5231s	this node so you can't really you can't
5233s	place you want to build back on here
5235s	right yeah exactly because because that
5237s	note is still taken even if
5241s	because like the the branches on these
5244s	roads
5246s	they're new they're they felt new
5247s	because I was flying around here for a
5249s	different thing
5251s	uh before I started doing shots and I
5253s	was like
5254s	stuff yeah
5256s	um but it's uh basically like these used
5259s	to be kind of sand Wells before and they
5262s	were kind of all closed off with like
5266s	um these small like walls of grass
5270s	uh so what we did is we made kind of
5272s	gaps in those in a way to make roads to
5275s	make everything feel more much more
5276s	connected and easy wait a second
5278s	is this this shot cool easy two and then
5282s	coin Forest yeah going down this street
5283s	yeah that's a sub biome of Eastern June
5286s	so that one's been uh updated too
5289s	there's a lot of World stuff in this
5291s	update y'all
5293s	we worked really smart
5295s	it's a small update for uh for everyone
5298s	but yeah we knew that we didn't stop at
5300s	the whole it's a small update
5302s	I think every single time we've said
5304s	that it hasn't been a small update
5306s	uh defined because like if you look at
5308s	the patch notes I think the patch notes
5310s	are way longer on like update five than
5311s	like six seven but yeah it's not awesome
5313s	it's it's like
5314s	who is it small for like yeah maybe it's
5317s	smaller than another update but that
5319s	doesn't mean it's a small update yeah
5321s	and uh every time we say it's a small
5323s	update like I feel like Community feels
5325s	like uh the impact has been huge so it's
5327s	been anything but
5329s	um where uh and there's that Canyon if
5331s	you go the other way where you were
5333s	going before
5334s	back like Canyon area down there it was
5336s	pretty much entirely empty before and
5339s	now it's filled up with stuff and it's
5340s	like a part of its transition to swamp
5343s	wait this is this area yeah it's it's
5346s	complete it has
5348s	empty before
5350s	damn
5353s	I was not expecting that yeah
5356s	this area to me was just gone like I
5359s	couldn't find it like it didn't really
5360s	matter because there was nothing here
5361s	right
5362s	so what I mean is like I was kind of
5365s	looking for that old area and and I I
5367s	was like I can't find it and the reason
5368s	was because it's not there anymore it's
5370s	like this looks like this now yeah
5372s	yeah that's cool
5376s	small update we are just changing the
5377s	engine in the world and like yeah that's
5379s	not even all like there's more things to
5382s	talk about
5383s	video on Friday
5387s	like all the cool uh new shoes we're
5391s	adding to the game new shoes let's go
5396s	that was the lamest fake Lee yeah I
5399s	could have come up with the [ __ ]
5401s	whatever
5403s	or is it
5405s	fakely wanted to mention also something
5407s	here so this is one of the old shots
5409s	that I made uh somebody asked about the
5411s	depth of field stuff so technically the
5413s	depth of field stuff I also made a
5414s	Reddit post by the way that I commented
5416s	on this here as well a while ago
5418s	technically the engine has support for
5420s	depth of field in the game and hopefully
5422s	we can add that to the photo mode that
5424s	we have in the game
5425s	so you can make more Beauty shots and
5428s	that's what we're using we're making
5429s	these like teaser videos and trailers
5431s	like every trailer we've made that's
5433s	always been an engine that like we do a
5436s	little bit of cheating sometimes where
5438s	we load in more things that you would
5440s	necessarily see in the game and like
5442s	remove laws and stuff like that but
5443s	most of the time when we make videos and
5446s	teas and stuff like that it's all in
5448s	engine and then we you know make it
5450s	cinematic and making it cinematic makes
5452s	it look way better than when you're just
5453s	running in the game obviously but
5456s	hopefully in the future we can add you
5458s	know depth of field and like better
5460s	control in photo mode so you can make
5462s	like pretty much the same stuff that
5464s	we're making in our trailers there is a
5467s	mod out there where you can actually
5468s	create most of the stuff like even the
5471s	sequencer stuff where I'm like
5472s	programming like you know animations and
5475s	stuff like that there's a mod that can
5476s	do that too oh that's sick it's called
5480s	Uh blanking right now but yeah there's a
5483s	mod that we can do some other stuff like
5484s	that and hopefully we can add it to a
5486s	photo mode
5487s	in the future
5489s	yeah there's been uh uh fix it cam thank
5492s	you that's the one fix the cameras yeah
5494s	it's cool yeah people
5497s	um have wanted to to make changes to the
5499s	photo mode so hopefully that's something
5500s	that will happen before
5502s	at some point yeah
5505s	we're kind of coming to the end of of
5507s	the stream here and
5509s	um fresh out of my notes your dad sent
5511s	you a message on teams by the way yeah
5513s	yeah
5515s	he just told me to tell you yeah yeah we
5517s	can do that so uh I hope uh actually
5519s	maybe we have already done that days
5522s	actually because here's the thing okay
5523s	so I've talked about we we did a
5525s	Showcase with Lumen as well a few
5527s	streams back where I showcased like what
5529s	it looks like with uh with it on and off
5531s	um and maybe we can revisit some of
5533s	those videos but I kind of want to show
5534s	a little real quick what the game looks
5537s	like when you turn Lumen on and off so
5539s	Lumen for those who don't know is the
5540s	global elimination uh like
5543s	system that epic I've been working on
5545s	that's it's like a combination of
5547s	different uh Ray tracing techniques to
5549s	to make Global illumination and I
5553s	believe this is with it off and this is
5555s	with it on
5557s	oh big difference right wow Wow Let's go
5564s	it's it's okay certain situations it's
5567s	hard to tell which one is which whoa
5572s	oh two percent
5575s	all right the thing is so someone says
5578s	Showcase with the problem is you enable
5580s	aluminum caves you're not going to see
5582s	anything no oh yeah
5585s	oh yeah uh so yeah it's hard it's hard
5588s	to tell which one is which sometimes for
5590s	me because I think I've accidentally had
5592s	Lumen on when I shouldn't have had when
5594s	I made certain shots uh but it's it's
5597s	some it's in different scenarios it's
5599s	hard to tell in this shot it's really
5601s	difficult to tell which one is Lumen and
5602s	which one isn't I think if I set it to
5604s	night time
5605s	uh it might be more obvious or maybe not
5609s	we'll see uh we're just a setting thingy
5614s	wait that was the cave we can maybe just
5616s	just check it out it's gonna be nothing
5618s	then yeah I have a video that better
5619s	showcases
5623s	can we go into a cave and drag a light
5625s	around is that like easy to do or
5627s	uh yeah we can do that that could be fun
5630s	okay yeah so during nighttime we also
5632s	can't really tell the difference
5634s	um
5635s	yeah it's really in like uh more heavily
5638s	shadowed areas like you can really tell
5639s	yeah but I think it's it's mostly cool
5641s	when you're building Factory stuff and
5643s	you like actually using lights and
5645s	actually get the uh like the screen
5646s	space stuff I feel like it I feel like
5648s	it's more apparent on Factory buildings
5650s	yeah for sure is that just me like on
5652s	like uh inorganic things it seems to
5654s	actually let me show the video I showed
5656s	a couple of weeks ago
5658s	um so here's I think we're still on
5661s	sorry here's the video I want to
5663s	showcase
5664s	think audio is still running yeah so
5666s	this is with Lumen off this is what a
5667s	factory Building looks like in the game
5669s	in general here in green uh sorry in
5672s	grassfields
5674s	and like Smith's little house here walk
5676s	in so this is like we've we've lit the
5678s	environment so that everything makes
5680s	sense and uh
5682s	you know everything's fine when you walk
5684s	into a factory building like this but
5685s	when you turn Lumen on
5687s	uh
5688s	same thing here here you can actually
5691s	tell better when you're closer to
5693s	materials uh because here the the color
5695s	on the wall says
5696s	but when you walk inside you know it's
5701s	uh it's hard to see what's going on
5704s	but then of course you could add some
5705s	lights which will yeah help with that
5708s	but like if you didn't have anything
5709s	here it's cool too because it's it's
5711s	reacting to like the building build
5713s	effects yeah that was sick that was
5715s	really nice actually yeah the cool thing
5717s	is like so I think I pop open uh oh
5721s	that's cool too yeah yeah so if I remove
5723s	like a part of the roof here oh yeah get
5726s	this
5727s	like shaving hot yeah that's nice that's
5730s	nice
5731s	um this is where Lumen really shines
5734s	because it's like a combination of
5735s	different race racing techniques to to
5737s	create the global uh the GI
5741s	um
5743s	so when you're building factories you
5745s	you have to have lights like if you're
5747s	building anything indoors that's the
5748s	problem and and there are ways to sort
5750s	of circumvent this
5752s	um with like making it so that you know
5754s	it fits better with Lumen to mine but
5757s	the the problem that we have is that
5759s	like we want to focus on
5762s	what the game will look like without
5764s	Lumen and light it for that mostly uh
5767s	because that's I we believe how most
5769s	people will play it
5771s	um
5772s	and then you know it's not officially
5774s	supported exactly yeah so just just to
5777s	clarify just to clarify that that this
5779s	was in the video that we put out a
5780s	couple weeks ago but
5782s	um we we aren't officially supporting
5784s	lumen in the sense that like it'll be in
5786s	the game and you can turn it on if you
5788s	want
5789s	um but we're not gonna light the world
5790s	and we're not gonna make changes to the
5793s	game so that Lumen is supported in all
5796s	you know reasonable situations like if
5799s	you just walk into a factory maybe it
5800s	should be a little bit right we're not
5801s	gonna We're not gonna solve those uh
5803s	issues
5804s	um when it comes to lose but you can try
5806s	and solve them yourself with lights if
5807s	you want to do that it's up to you we're
5809s	just going to give you the option to
5810s	play with it if you want to do that
5812s	um and let me promise a good experience
5815s	or a well-crafted one yeah and then the
5817s	main reason for that is because it's
5819s	like two supporting two different
5821s	systems yeah so this is cool with lights
5823s	though uh explain this as well last week
5826s	or the week before with lights
5829s	um lights in our game they are not
5831s	actual lights sorry signs that are lit
5834s	up like this are not actual lights in
5835s	our games they're they're emissive
5837s	textures or materials which means that
5838s	just material is rendered by its own
5840s	it's not act like it's not affected by
5842s	Lighting in the scene
5844s	but with Lumen the system that they made
5846s	is like actual emissive materials
5848s	actually emit light on stuff that's
5850s	close to it and proximity to it so
5853s	science can actually light up rooms in
5855s	Lumen which wasn't possible before so
5858s	that's why I made this like headache of
5860s	uh the scene over here where this this
5863s	room now is just lit with signs
5867s	um
5868s	and it's pretty cool I love the the the
5870s	the teal and purple on the roof yeah the
5873s	the streamer colors
5875s	three with colors yeah
5879s	so I guess that's just uh
5882s	one thing to keep in mind here's another
5883s	demo in the wild where I think it was
5886s	a little bit more obvious which ones
5888s	with which because like the Shadows
5889s	looks a bit better when you're cool
5895s	oh you missed it Chase so like here if
5898s	you look at the Shadows on the ground
5899s	specifically
5901s	um they look more soft and accurate in
5903s	Lumen
5904s	um you also get uh
5909s	they're a little bit more I wouldn't say
5910s	detailed but they they make more sense
5913s	like in towards yeah exactly there's
5916s	more of a gradients kind of happening
5918s	yeah like areas that are more shaded
5920s	actually get darker versus areas that
5922s	are light yeah shaded so that's why I
5925s	like list like cliff overhangs and such
5927s	you can actually end up in so like uh
5929s	spots where you can't see anything
5932s	so in this shot in particular like that
5933s	you don't really see a big difference
5935s	between Lumen on and off if I'm just
5936s	jumping back and forth here yeah yeah
5938s	yeah but then like on these
5941s	when you're I think the other thing to
5943s	the other thing to remember with a lot
5944s	of these uh before and afters as well is
5946s	like sometimes the difference is super
5949s	noticeable in the before and after but
5950s	when you're playing the game you're not
5952s	playing the game with before and after
5953s	right you play on one or the other and
5955s	so like that contrast is not apparent uh
5958s	in most cases in cases like this it will
5960s	be imperative absolutely well when we
5961s	see this that's that's obviously a major
5964s	major difference and very apparent but
5966s	in most cases I think you'd be
5969s	hard-pressed to really notice the the
5971s	difference so like
5973s	um
5974s	uh you know without toggling it on and
5976s	off repeatedly to see the difference
5977s	yeah and for me when I'm playing the
5981s	game and I'm switching back and forth I
5984s	prefer using not Lumen uh for this the
5988s	sole reason that like my frame rate
5990s	tanks uh on my Hardware
5994s	um it's very CPU heavy uh Lumen because
5997s	it's uh it's it's apparently it's faster
6000s	on CPU than GPU in in when they've been
6002s	testing it
6004s	um
6006s	and satisfactory is a very CPU intense
6008s	game so like those two systems are going
6010s	to fight it out the game thread and like
6012s	the draw thread are gonna battle it out
6016s	um so like I think on my machine I have
6018s	a GTX 1080 uh I have i7 67
6023s	000k or whatever it's called the CPU and
6025s	when I turned Lumen on I get like half
6027s	the frame rate so I go from like I go
6030s	from uh 12 Ms to like 27 or something
6033s	like that
6034s	uh uh so it's it's it's expensive but
6037s	it's really pretty like when you want to
6038s	take Beauty shots and stuff like that
6039s	it's like some for me it's like I turn
6041s	it off sometimes when I'm like walking
6042s	around and just looking at my factory
6044s	but when I'm actually like building and
6045s	[ __ ] I turn it off
6047s	essentially
6050s	I have to turn it off whenever I'm
6052s	working
6053s	in a very shaded areas because I won't
6055s	be able to see anything
6057s	yeah in engine
6060s	but like in more open areas it's doesn't
6062s	really make a difference too much it's
6064s	uh wilfront it's not a it's not a
6066s	console toggle it'll actually be in the
6069s	menu for you guys so you will be able to
6071s	like switch it on and off uh I wonder if
6072s	a console toggle would be a good idea
6074s	because for those who use console it
6075s	might be quicker than going to menus I
6077s	wonder yeah maybe something to consider
6078s	but either way it'll be in the menu and
6080s	you can do it yourself yeah it'll be
6081s	available but it's not like officially
6083s	officially supported so to speak because
6085s	it's very Hardware dependent and uh yeah
6088s	the lighting isn't adjusted for it at
6091s	the moment
6092s	this is all post unreal five correct
6094s	this is we're in unreal five now yeah so
6097s	this is that's what we have now and
6099s	we'll have for update eight so you guys
6100s	don't have it now but that's what will
6102s	come with updated yes this has been
6104s	mentioned in the video but the areas
6106s	that we have worked on now are
6108s	essentially considered final that
6110s	doesn't mean there won't be changes
6113s	happening depending on
6116s	kind of like I don't know asset updates
6119s	or if we if we have to adjust for a new
6121s	feature like this and also like lighting
6124s	uh some of the lighting has been updated
6127s	a lot of the lighting broke in the
6130s	engine switch so there might be some
6131s	iffy things going on but we've fixed a
6133s	lot of it
6135s	um
6136s	but yeah uh oh wait this Arch has been
6139s	remade right oh yeah that that one's
6141s	been fully rebuilt it was made out of
6143s	non-uniform cliffs skilled Cliffs
6147s	um
6149s	so this one I did my best to kind of
6152s	recreate it as best as possible with
6155s	uniformly skilled Clips it's not exactly
6159s	um
6161s	the same it's it was impossible to
6163s	recreate it the the way it was and I
6166s	mean that's kind of goes for a lot of
6167s	these things because all across the
6169s	world we've been kind of fixing as we
6172s	encounter them the cliffs that are not
6174s	scaled uniformly as in their squashed or
6177s	stretched or they're
6179s	basically that that breaks them uh not
6183s	just visually but it can also cause some
6185s	Physics problems uh when playing the
6188s	game yeah we've we've had that problem
6190s	for a long time where yeah because a lot
6193s	of the old structures were built out of
6195s	non-uniformly skills yes but before we
6198s	knew that that was illegal
6200s	uh apparently but the problem is some of
6204s	the SK The Cliffs that are skilled that
6206s	way it's just kind of impossible to fix
6208s	them without breaking the entire
6210s	structure that they're a part of so
6213s	we're leaving those as is with the hope
6216s	that it won't cause any issues we will
6219s	address of course if any issues come up
6222s	and we will fix them then uh but yeah
6226s	it's it's a bit of a tricky one because
6228s	it means actual structural changes that
6231s	affects people's factories so we want to
6233s	we want to see what we can get away with
6236s	and we're just fixing the worst of it
6239s	and the the stuff that is easy to fix
6240s	that doesn't really break anything else
6244s	um and there was there was a cliff set
6246s	up uh a combination I think here you can
6249s	see there's there's a few that I was
6251s	looking for that I thought was really
6253s	interesting how you made it here hello
6255s	here down like here you can see that one
6259s	yeah it's super squashed oh yeah yeah
6261s	extremely squishy that's one of those
6264s	clips the problem is like if oh yeah
6266s	it's used it's the bottom and the top of
6269s	a cliff are used I'm basically in
6271s	trouble with fixing this because like
6274s	where how am I gonna find this and the
6276s	problem also is like we have
6278s	we can technically scale an asset up
6282s	infinitely
6283s	it's just it's just gonna look terrible
6286s	um and it will encroach uh also on on
6290s	the excesses on its on its width
6292s	essentially so I could try to replace
6294s	this with a cliff that is much flatter
6296s	but I would have to scale it up to such
6298s	a point
6299s	that that would essentially break our
6301s	scaling conventions because then the
6304s	textures start getting looking bad and
6306s	you essentially you just it doesn't
6308s	Collision
6310s	it's also Collision right that gets
6313s	messed up yeah exactly I think that was
6314s	original problems vehicles on top of
6317s	uniforms so so this is what this
6320s	particular clif1 looks like when it's
6322s	uniformly scaled
6325s	that wasn't even close
6327s	exactly this is what I mean it's a huge
6330s	huge difference uh and this is also an
6332s	area I haven't really gotten to yet but
6334s	also this would be one of the cliffs
6336s	where I'd be like I'm not sure I can fix
6338s	this in a way that
6340s	doesn't encroach both upon that road
6342s	that's up there and the river yeah
6345s	you're gonna either need a whole other
6346s	asset or like a bunch of bunch more
6348s	pieces and to build or something like
6351s	that it's not super straightforward
6352s	there are loads of those in Rocky desert
6355s	too and I've fixed a bunch of them but
6357s	it's yeah there's just some sometimes
6360s	just usually Wonder useless overhangs
6362s	it's really hard to fix them
6365s	oh here it is I found the one that was
6367s	like before this one I thought was
6368s	really interesting I think this is
6369s	almost oh you know this is uniformal so
6372s	like there's a combination of Cliff
6374s	faces here that I thought like a little
6375s	clever
6376s	yeah these are all uniformal
6378s	no not this one oh
6381s	yeah it's really interesting because
6383s	like I think a lot of these cases you'd
6385s	need to like make you know Cliffs
6388s	parts that are specifically what you
6390s	need uh like it's really powerful to be
6394s	like okay I want I want the this kind of
6396s	arch thing right and then okay but then
6398s	if I scale things and mold it into like
6400s	what I kind of need then I get what I
6401s	want you know it's it's very powerful to
6404s	just be able to do that but then that
6405s	comes with those problems and it's kind
6407s	of I assume annoying to have to go back
6409s	and be like
6410s	it's either make custom assets for the
6413s	stuff that we've sculpted or not
6415s	sculpted but like you modeled here
6418s	um
6418s	have we made all these Cliffs ourselves
6421s	or are they Cliffs that I believe is is
6424s	my BIOS yes the grid all the cliffs
6427s	that's
6428s	because somebody asked earlier if we're
6429s	using like quick cell scans or something
6431s	like that I don't believe we are
6433s	or are we no I think some of the old
6437s	Carl stuff right some of the old Coral
6438s	stuff exactly they were Mega scans but
6441s	we've essentially
6442s	deprecated all of those and the corals
6446s	that we still use I've been heavily
6448s	edited
6452s	yeah we did we had like statues of
6454s	corals and then one of our artists I
6458s	believe
6459s	made scans of those uh two years in the
6462s	game
6463s	but they were very unoptimized sadly and
6466s	we kind of went into a an art direction
6469s	that didn't really fit those assets so
6472s	someone asked earlier by the way I'm uh
6476s	I'm I'm necroing a topic here but uh
6479s	have we found any place for the uh the
6481s	willow
6482s	I've been trying my best
6487s	one lonely weeping willow yeah yeah
6490s	because I was really hoping I could use
6492s	it in a Titan forest and in some of the
6494s	tests I did for titanforce they were in
6496s	there because I was like please can we
6498s	have them what about Paradise Island we
6501s	just pop it
6502s	that's where it goes to die that's where
6505s	[ __ ] goes to die yeah all the deprecated
6507s	assets yeah I just put them on Paradise
6509s	Island
6511s	uh yeah it's like a little Museum I've
6514s	been trying but it's also apparently a
6517s	very tricky asset to actually make work
6520s	well uh because of like the the just the
6523s	way a willow works and its leaves
6526s	uh first other leaves it's like yeah
6531s	basically I don't know exactly what it
6533s	is and I'm not sure how I would be able
6535s	to explain it but
6538s	it's a tricky asset to get right
6541s	um and um
6544s	I really I really love Willows thank you
6547s	perfectness
6549s	commit
6550s	I really really love Willows in real
6553s	life and I really like that they give
6555s	off but yeah
6564s	oh no
6567s	it's good push get pushed yeah we don't
6569s	even use get get reverse yeah I mean we
6572s	don't use it that's the best thing but
6574s	I'm gonna do it anyway part of the world
6575s	deleted in protest for the Willows look
6579s	how peaceful the landscape looks without
6581s	the island oh so much better right okay
6584s	I love the the
6587s	whoops
6589s	any news in the World Builder at
6591s	Paradise Island well we want to we want
6593s	to see how we are going to fix that and
6596s	that's one of the reasons why we're not
6599s	really working on Paradise I like this
6600s	it's actually way too close to the world
6601s	border and you could like fall through
6604s	the world and it's like all kinds of
6606s	issues there and we're gonna see if we
6608s	can fix it it just kind of depends it's
6610s	one of our lowest priority areas
6613s	um
6620s	yeah actually that does look good so I
6622s	think we found a new level design you
6623s	know yeah just remove it [ __ ] it let's
6625s	go yeah
6627s	uh we have a question a bit of a change
6629s	of topic but I think important question
6631s	um do you have any information about
6632s	what will happen to the alternative
6634s	recipe for Uranium rods in the future
6635s	because of beacons in the recipe right
6637s	now so we have talked about this in the
6638s	past
6639s	um and uh we will be removing beacons
6642s	from the game eventually I believe it's
6644s	going to be at like 1.0 and then at that
6646s	point that uh recipe will change and
6648s	then there'll be no more beacons in the
6650s	game uh the reason we're not doing it
6651s	now and we're just going to keep it in
6652s	as it is is that we do want to end up
6655s	doing there will probably be some
6656s	rebalancing of
6658s	um recipes in the future
6660s	but we don't want to do small rebalances
6663s	and make recipe changes or too many of
6665s	them uh along the way because I can mess
6667s	with save files progress and things like
6669s	that so instead
6671s	um we're just going to leave it as it is
6673s	and then when we do a rebalance with and
6675s	change the recipes it's all going to
6677s	come in one go and then you have to deal
6678s	with all of it at once that at least you
6680s	don't have to do it multiple times it's
6681s	just a one one go but there'll be more
6683s	information about that later but the
6685s	intention is to remove the recipe or not
6687s	the recipe necessarily but beacons from
6689s	that recipe yeah
6692s	deleted
6695s	deleted everything but Paradise Island
6697s	yeah oh no yeah exactly isn't it
6700s	Paradise Island I think I changed it yes
6702s	I think I changed it in the recent Maps
6704s	maybe I shouldn't have it it might still
6707s	be on our Maps apparent guys the ones
6710s	that the ones that I uh release on the
6712s	on the uh press kit has Paradise now
6715s	yeah maybe we should change it back to
6717s	Paradise I think it's funny
6719s	I think yeah it's very appropriate yeah
6722s	that's where you go to die and also we
6724s	might kill it Oh you mean yeah it's not
6726s	dies that's in d-i-e anymore yeah
6729s	exactly yeah I I wasn't sure what I
6732s	should do with that last time I was like
6733s	oh I'll change this to the correct
6734s	spelling I didn't even notice that when
6736s	I posted it this is a little bit in the
6738s	Unreal Engine 5 video too but um this is
6740s	the landscape basically underneath the
6743s	hood when you don't have like all the
6745s	stuff on top of it
6747s	um and the random floating uh this is
6750s	you're against it what was that is this
6752s	you again this floating thing could be
6755s	but uh I think okay no I don't think
6757s	this is actually floating because I
6758s	think it's on like a cliff or something
6760s	because if I load in this segment here
6762s	load region
6764s	that's weird that's in that layer and
6766s	the other ones aren't so this is the
6767s	world partition thing where we can load
6769s	in like smaller segments of a tile it
6772s	used to be
6773s	if you're loading in this area you would
6775s	either load in
6776s	all right let me see if I can actually
6777s	recreate it uh so if you were to load in
6780s	how it used to work
6782s	if you want to load in just that Cliff
6783s	there you would have to load in all this
6786s	give it a second yeah
6789s	oh you have to learn oh this entire
6791s	segment just put it like this clip
6793s	whereas now you can be like
6795s	unload
6797s	and then
6799s	load
6802s	stay much more faster that was
6804s	yeah and then of course we could load a
6806s	little bit more so that it's populated
6808s	in the areas that you can sort of see
6809s	here right that's something I think I
6812s	haven't talked to Ben about this
6812s	actually so I'm not sure if I'm talking
6814s	out of my ass but I think this is
6815s	something we also need to configure a
6816s	little bit when this might be like some
6819s	feedback that we get from you during
6820s	experimental where how the draw distance
6823s	like how much we load in find that like
6825s	sweet spot where there's it's still
6828s	smooth when we're loading areas uh but
6830s	you still see enough of the map you know
6833s	if you see this you'll be like what's
6834s	going on it commits as uh
6838s	no I don't know this looks fine I think
6840s	we found the sweet spot right here yeah
6841s	yeah very optimized yeah yeah it's like
6844s	they can because
6845s	like in this situation here we've loaded
6848s	enough right like this this is fine and
6850s	running around but like if you were
6851s	standing on top of this cliff and you
6853s	were loading for instance it wouldn't
6854s	work so like this this is some special
6857s	magic that needs to go into like how the
6860s	loading of the word partitioning works
6862s	to make it look good
6865s	slider in settings I actually don't
6867s	think that's possible because I think I
6870s	I this is okay I might be talking about
6872s	my ass now but my understanding is uh
6874s	that
6875s	that things will still be like grouped
6878s	up into tiles in a way but that with
6880s	these settings we can tweak those tiles
6882s	uh to be a bit better and then and then
6884s	the logic behind when they load in can
6886s	change too so at the end of the day at
6888s	least
6890s	the tile sizes or some am I wrong here
6893s	this is my understanding you know what
6895s	I'm not okay I'm gonna fish what I'm
6896s	saying but I don't know I don't think
6897s	it's completely right okay so just stay
6899s	with the grain of salt I'll just finish
6900s	what I said but like I think that when
6902s	it comes to
6903s	um whatever tiles we end up having we
6905s	can now adjust those tiles to find a
6907s	better Sweet Spot
6909s	um in development but then when we uh
6911s	export the game and cook it down it
6913s	still Cooks down the tiles I could be
6915s	wrong
6916s	um I think it's partially true yeah or
6919s	yeah if not fully sure but that's that's
6922s	my understanding of it as well there's
6923s	there's some form of logic as to what is
6927s	loaded and when and it's not just tied
6930s	to like just died more in the distance
6932s	like it doesn't really work that way
6934s	because they're kind of segmented yeah
6936s	exactly but there might be aspects of
6939s	what you're loading on the tiles that
6941s	might be affected by that so you could
6942s	have some kind of you know cold distance
6944s	on certain assets or whatever yeah but
6948s	I'm not totally sure how that because
6950s	it's a new system so I'm not entirely
6951s	sure yeah in any case I doubt something
6954s	like that will be in update eight uh but
6957s	who knows what will happen there'll be
6959s	some form of version of it and then
6961s	all right A lot of people are saying
6962s	motorcycles what have I missed I've seen
6964s	motorcycles so many times in the Stream
6966s	and typically we have zero to one
6968s	mention of motorcycles on a stream and
6970s	there's been like 10.
6972s	there's I feel like there's been at
6974s	least one mention every stream since
6977s	a while
6979s	when did the motorcycle thing start uh I
6981s	think it's I so I thought it started
6983s	with you
6984s	because it started I came back from a
6987s	stream and it was a thing and you were
6989s	already you're already tired of it
6992s	all right this has must have been one of
6994s	the other Jace clones that was doing
6995s	that yeah yeah they didn't they didn't
6997s	fill me in
6999s	motorcycles are the new golf I guess
7002s	Jesus we just spoke now we open even
7005s	more can of worms
7007s	plus I acknowledged it that was that was
7012s	I think
7013s	one of them I think in one of the very
7016s	early prototypes we had
7019s	like uh not a motorcycle but a
7021s	um
7023s	what's it called like a quad bike
7026s	do you remember this Jace because I
7028s	think you were working on that
7029s	system I don't think I ever worked on a
7031s	quad bike okay
7032s	what was it for I can't remember what's
7035s	the I remember seeing like the quad bike
7038s	model sometime but that might have just
7041s	been for shits and giggles because
7042s	sometimes we just add dumb [ __ ] to the
7044s	game yeah we have had functions we're
7046s	goofing around
7048s	if that was there it's real agent
7051s	yeah
7052s	unless unless it was like some
7055s	asset that we bought and used in
7057s	development or something
7058s	one wait one one video I kind of want to
7061s	share real quick uh is actually from the
7063s	satisfactory news channel uh oh yeah
7066s	because some some people have asked
7068s	about GPU stuffs yeah Hardware stuff
7071s	uh I don't have any other information
7073s	about that but I think I think um
7078s	uh Mason the person who runs
7079s	satisfactory news who also does video
7081s	editing for us by the way and he runs
7083s	this channel
7084s	um
7085s	he knows a little bit more about free
7087s	shout out there he is actually amazing
7088s	zero game give us a little bit more
7090s	about Hardware than like I I don't know
7091s	too much about it so I can't really talk
7092s	about it but like you can check out this
7093s	video where he talks a little bit about
7095s	I don't know Legend five stuff and he
7096s	also talks about some stuff regarding
7099s	Hardware so I saw that some people were
7101s	concerned about a really high uh minimum
7103s	uh required GPU yeah and it's we can
7108s	sort of debate what we want to do with
7109s	that however that GPU I think it's like
7112s	it's model number is like kind of high
7115s	yeah but it's actual performance is kind
7117s	of low yeah exactly it's a modern GPU
7119s	but it's not actually you know so modern
7121s	isn't always better yeah exactly so even
7123s	though it's a newer GPU that doesn't
7125s	mean it's powerful and that doesn't mean
7127s	your older GPU can't like you could have
7129s	an older GPU but it's more performant
7130s	than that one so I if you check out that
7133s	video towards the end of the video he
7135s	talks about that and and that might be
7138s	something worthwhile to to consider but
7141s	at the same time if that's just
7142s	confusing in general maybe there's just
7144s	maybe something more we can do or
7146s	something I'm not sure but like
7148s	um yeah so I I yeah we talked about it
7151s	quite extensive or I talked quite
7152s	extensively about it the the stream
7154s	after that video was dropped
7157s	where you know yeah it is confusing with
7159s	with the specs and the hardware and like
7160s	what specifically runs and whatnot I
7162s	don't think uh like for me the game runs
7165s	just as fine and I have a [ __ ] GPU
7167s	from 2016.
7170s	um when I'm not using Lumen
7172s	um
7173s	so so the the general feeling I'm
7176s	getting and this is just my personal you
7178s	know feeling is that like the the specs
7180s	it isn't you should probably try it out
7184s	uh on your own before like saying that
7187s	you know my computer probably won't run
7189s	anymore there's probably computers that
7191s	it won't run anymore because but more so
7193s	because of DirectX 12 support
7195s	uh because we're leaning heavily on
7198s	DirectX 12 support for a lot of features
7200s	and a lot of optimizations in the game
7202s	we still you can still run the game with
7204s	their Exit 11 but it's more of a
7206s	fallback for us right now and we are
7208s	DirectX 12 is like the default renderer
7210s	for us
7212s	um I think that has a bigger play if
7215s	anything
7216s	when it comes to the support at the
7217s	moment
7218s	but we'll we'll see I will probably
7220s	flesh out a bit more also the process of
7222s	how we figured out the minimum specs uh
7225s	is like
7227s	it's hard to like figure out what actual
7230s	minimum specs are so uh Jay said in the
7233s	menu they're preliminary
7235s	and uh why gosh we're sticking by that
7237s	they're preliminary we'll we'll yeah
7239s	yeah refresh that more when we release
7241s	it yeah maybe it's something that we can
7243s	sort of more better Define and I think
7246s	there's better communication that can
7247s	happen there because I also think that
7248s	like the fact like maybe the selection
7251s	of that GPU to say that that's the
7253s	minimum is accurate but it can maybe be
7256s	misleading if people don't really know
7258s	that yeah later model number doesn't
7261s	mean faster than older model number uh
7263s	and then so then maybe what we should do
7265s	is
7266s	should we pick a different model that's
7268s	early that reflects it a little bit I
7270s	don't know like I don't know maybe this
7271s	is something we can do to clear up the
7273s	confusion and then at that point if the
7275s	confusion is cleared up and people
7276s	aren't don't think that that's right
7277s	then we can like tackle that issue but
7278s	yeah so thank you so much Hannah for
7280s	taking time to uh hang out and of course
7283s	because you were here on the stream and
7285s	um
7286s	not working in the world the game has
7288s	been delayed by what one or two weeks
7290s	that's my two weeks yeah and we're also
7293s	going to be sick after this so yeah
7294s	we're working on the game and we weren't
7297s	doing streams and making videos then it
7299s	would be done even sooner yeah yeah all
7302s	those tweets that delay the game by
7303s	month yep
7309s	you just saw how good I was it was I'm a
7313s	pro essentially
7314s	I could be the next level designer you
7316s	don't know
7317s	maybe I am the level designer well uh
7320s	let's work on that I'll work on that
7322s	yeah I'll I'll probably get a review uh
7326s	notes after the stream from Hannah and
7328s	then uh yeah I've got some uh I've got
7330s	I've got some you got some tips for you
7332s	yeah yeah
7336s	um someone mentioned uh bear shot
7338s	covering the world in foundations I've
7340s	heard of this before I haven't looked
7341s	into it I'll check it out later but
7342s	thanks for letting me know
7344s	um but yeah we'll wrap up now thank you
7345s	so much Hannah for hanging out really
7346s	appreciate it I think people really
7347s	enjoy when you're on the streams and uh
7349s	yeah yeah I enjoy being here nice thank
7353s	you for all your hard work
7355s	um well I can't wait to see it paved
7368s	hey welcome back to the stream welcome
7370s	everybody welcome
7372s	another Tuesday Dev stream welcome
7374s	everybody no did it just start over
7376s	again no this is my worst nightmare in a
7378s	Perpetual like agreement
7381s	oh God it's extreme for you today guys
