0s hello I'm Matt Foster one of the
2s designers on worlds drift here boss
4s studios I some of you in the community
6s may know me as master and I am here to
8s talk to you today about overheat for
10s those of you who have played the game
11s for quite some time or are pretty new to
14s the game you might even know that
15s overheat is a stat that has existed in
19s world surge of since the very beginning
20s of its inception however it hasn't
22s actually functioned correctly until now
24s in our new update we are releasing
28s overheat and its associated components
31s for all players the ship parts that are
35s affected by overheat our engines cannons
38s and swivel guns they are the ones that
41s heat up cool down and if they heat up to
44s a certain point will be disabled for a
47s short amount of time overheat is
49s something that we work out for some time
51s we're very excited about it and we are
53s going to need your feedback as you play
55s through the game to tell us what you
57s think of it and whether or not you
58s believe it's balance and any sort of
61s other questions that you might have that
62s we can answer we want to know about them
64s reach out to us on discord Twitter the
67s normal channels now what does that work
69s mean overheat when we talk about it can
73s either be referred to as the stat on
75s your ship parts or what happens when it
79s actually overheats engines all engines
83s have these same temperature at which
85s they will suffer the effects of
87s overheating all cannons and swivel guns
89s share the same temperature for them they
91s are different between the two but all
93s ship parts of a specific type have the
96s same temperature at which they overheat
97s and that might leave you wondering what
99s does overheat actually mean as a stat
101s then it's a little complicated and
103s that's why I'm here today and it mainly
104s is split up into three different parts
106s we have overheat as a stat and what that
109s does is it lets you know how well your
113s engine cannons swivel gun is able to
117s deal with a surplus of heat
119s it is one of the three main factors in
123s determining how quickly your engine
125s heats up or can endure swivel gun for
128s the purposes of this video I'll talk
129s about engines mainly the second
132s component is power higher the power you
135s have on your engine cannon a swivel gun
137s the more heat you'll gain over a
140s particular period of time over the
142s entire duration of its use the more
145s shots you fire the quicker the heat
147s you'll gain on your weapons and the
151s faster you go the higher the throttle
153s percentage that you go on your engines
154s the faster that they'll heat up the
157s ratio between the overheat stat and the
159s power set is very important if you have
161s a really high power and a really low
163s overheat you're gonna heat up very
165s quickly if you're really high
167s overheating very low power you may not
169s overheat at all and finding that
171s equilibrium that balance is something
173s that we're hoping that players are going
174s to enjoy breaking into the science of
177s worlds of drift the third component is
180s something new it's called the cooling
182s factor ana cooling factor is something
185s that you'll see on your engines not
186s represented as a bar is not a base stat
189s when an engine a cannon a swivel gun is
192s rolled and the schematic is generated
194s the stats for it are shown in bars
197s resilience fuel efficiency power
199s overheat spin up so on with cooling
204s factor there is no base stat what it is
207s is just a representation of the
210s materials that you've used to create
211s your engine and when I say that what I
214s mean is there are stats on your
216s materials that determine how well your
220s engine can cool and based on what you
222s make your engine out of it will be able
224s to cool off faster or slower now engines
229s cannons the swivel guns are always
231s cooling even as they're gaining heat
233s they're cooling they're trying to reach
235s the ambient temperature of the world
237s around them
238s for most of the world that's the same
241s except for the Badlands which is a
242s little bit hotter in this new update
244s meeting that overheat will be something
247s a little bit different in a PvP
249s situation on the PvE server or just in
253s the Badlands on the PvP server the
257s cooling factor is always trying to cool
260s you down and when you do if you do
263s overheat it will also determine how
266s quickly you cool down to a usable
268s temperature once again what that is is
271s that specific number I'm going to leave
273s to your imagination but essentially
275s after you overheat after you max out the
278s amount of heat that your engine's swivel
279s gun or cannon can contain can hold it'll
283s take some time to cool down again before
286s it can be used for an engine when an
288s engine overheats it stops spinning
291s you'll hear an audio cue a visual cue of
294s the red hot glow of the engine itself
298s and then as it cools you'll see the glow
301s start to to recede back the audio return
306s to normal the sizzling will stop and
308s then eventually if you have your
310s throttle still up the whole time as soon
314s as it's able to it'll turn back on and
316s start running for an engine that's how
320s it works
321s for a cannon a swivel gun it's similar
323s if you are shooting so fast and getting
326s so much heat that you eventually do
328s overheat your gun you'll have to wait a
331s certain amount of time for it to cool
332s before you can use it again when you do
335s start using it again it will start at
337s the temperature that it can first be
339s used at if you're spamming the click now
342s if you wait for to go all the way back
343s down if you wait for it to cool I'll let
345s you know somewhere in between that's
347s where you'll start the cooling factor is
350s represented as a small number underneath
352s the weight of your parts in this
354s schematic and it's also seen when you
356s scan the engine cannon or so begun
359s right underneath the weight represented
362s as CF : number the number is anywhere
367s between 0 and 100 but I believe right
370s now based some of the stats the
371s materials we have in game it's
373s impossible to actually get 100 so you're
376s one of the people out there who's dying
377s to find a way don't fret it just allows
380s us to continue adding great stuff in the
381s future I believe that's all we have
384s today we hope that you enjoy the
386s overheat system in this new update I am
389s like I said I'm master and I one of the
393s designers of worlds adrift if you want
394s to reach out to me and ask questions
395s about how this works if you want to tell
397s me what you think come on tell me that
399s it sucks let me know I'm on discord at
402s monster and I'm on Twitter at fat mo you
407s can reach out to the whole team at the
409s forums online you can follow us on
411s YouTube for more videos like this and
413s new exciting content that we're gonna be
415s releasing soon thank you for listening
416s and I hope you enjoy traveling the skies
419s a foundation
