2s Seck now where do I not for long hi I'm
12s snoot and I work here I'm subbing him
15s for Jay today Jase was unfortunately
16s unavailable to make this video today and
19s for some reason I'm doing it instead so
22s I guess that's happening it's also
23s partly because I worked on the safe
25s structure that we're introducing in this
27s update and I'll talk a little bit more
29s about that later so here we go so this
31s video is gonna be all about the patch
32s that's coming out on XP rental today
34s it's gonna contain some goodies and some
36s bug fixes but before you run off and try
39s it out there's some very important
40s information regarding save files so make
42s sure to stick around for the whole
43s duration of the video to learn more
44s about that I also urge you to backup
46s your saves your save files are located
49s in this directory you can also find it
52s in the description in the update we're
54s added a few bug fixes for trains most
56s notably we've updated the AI for better
58s break prediction and better reliability
59s so now trains shouldn't like speed pass
62s stations anymore we've also added a fix
64s for the issue where trains would get
66s split up at switches so now if that
68s happens the train should like reposition
70s back together again and I should
72s probably point out that this is somewhat
74s of a temporary solution until we have
76s proper collisions and proper signal
79s assistance for trains in the game we've
80s also added so that you can now ride the
82s train as the AI is driving it we've also
85s added a feature so you can mass as
86s mental buildings so if you want to wipe
88s your whole factory it should be a bill
90s to quicker this was a feature that I
93s worked on a few weeks back on my dev
95s stream and it's gonna be red I'm can't
99s wait to hear what you guys think about
100s it alright so let's talk about safe
102s files and make sure to take notes
103s because this is all gonna be on the test
104s so in the next patch we're introducing
106s cloud safe so satisfactory on the epics
108s game store
109s big bro team Sweeney got us hooked up
111s but in order for us to support cloud
112s safe so we've had to make a few
114s adjustments to our current safe
116s structure of the game so let me first
117s point out that as a whole the safe
119s system will work pretty much the same
121s way as before you can still like grab
123s your safe files and save directory and
125s like share them with your friends so
126s throw them out the window what are you
128s going to do with them the only
129s difference now
130s that save files will be placed in sub
132s directories instead and those sub
134s directors will be synced via the epic
138s games launcher so essentially when
140s you're playing the game and you're
141s saving that save file will be placed in
144s a directory that's associated with your
146s epic account so immediately not all your
149s safe files will be converted into this
151s new safe structure and cloud synced and
153s that's because up until this point we
155s haven't compressed our save files and
157s what that means is that the save files
159s can get quite large and that's not
161s optimal if you want to cloud sync them
162s and in order to do that you need to load
164s up your safe file and then we save it
167s for it to be able to like be converted
169s moved into the epic account folder and
171s then it can be cloud sinks and all the
173s files that haven't been associated with
175s an epic account ID yet will be placed in
178s a fuller called common in the same
179s directory and they'll be placed there
182s until you load them up in game and then
185s we save them again are the new safe
187s files supported in an older version of
189s the game no new so once you switch
194s version you can't load them in an old
196s version anymore so if you do switch to
198s experimental we highly recommend that
201s you stay on that version and if you
203s still want to be able to switch back to
205s an older version then you have to backup
207s your saves so what I need to do so you
211s shouldn't really need to do anything out
212s of the ordinary
213s you can still load up and save the game
215s as usual and everything should be dandy
218s can I disable cloud saves yes so in the
221s epics games launcher there'll be an
223s option there's like a little cog wheel
226s and then you press it and there's like a
227s drop-down list or something and in that
229s list there will be like an option for
230s you to be able to disable cloud safes
232s should I back up my saves before trying
234s experimental yeah what happens if I play
237s offline so if you play offline as in not
240s through the epics game structure then
241s the save files will either be placed in
244s the common folder or in the folder that
246s was last associated with your last login
249s the game I don't see some of my safe
251s Falls in the game so since a Falls are
253s now associated with your epic account ID
256s you will only be able to see safe files
258s that are associated with set account so
261s if you played on another account on the
263s same computer you need to either log
265s back into that account or move the safe
267s file to the folder corresponding to that
270s epic game epic account that you want to
272s be on why am I seeing duplicates of my
274s safe files so this might happen if you
277s switch between versions of the game the
280s duplicates that you're seeing is a
282s result from like mismatch of folder
285s structures during the migration of the
287s safe files when we're doing the
288s migration we don't want to overwrite
289s anything which means that if there's
293s already like a file with the same name
294s we're trying to do the migration we'll
296s kind of leave it alone so what that
298s means is that if this happens you might
301s need to do some cleanup yourself but if
303s you don't switch versions between the
304s game this should trademark not be a
306s problem all right so that's a lot of
308s information if you want more information
312s you can check out the blog post that I
314s wrote about the save structure on our
317s blog there's also more stuff in this
318s patch that I haven't brought up into
320s this video so make sure to check out the
322s patch notes and all that jazz links are
324s in the description so that's gonna be it
326s for me I'm gonna go back to work now so
329s thank you for watching have a fantastic
331s day
333s thanks for being you alright bye
339s oh and backup your safes well find you
