    been trying the uh the new game modes so finally being able to bluntly i feel we came as close to spoiling it as possible without spoiling it and i mean yeah some of you did pick up that the nodes did not make sense in i believe it was the uh lizardoggo ad the old school ad style video we made

    You picked up on that already, but randomization and also adjustable multipliers for power, for cost, and for space elevator parts is all happening.

    I truly am curious to see how bonkers some of you go with specifically advanced resource node randomization tonight, and I mean for weeks and months to come now, to see what you guys find out.

    about these things as you play, because you'll realize that when you pop into a seed, they are randomized as per the settings you pick from in the drop-down menu with randomization, fully random basic nodes or advanced or whatever you have.

    And the seeds you end up in when you get a randomized map are shareable.

    So if you find a map that is for some reason hilarious, you can share that seed with a friend.

    Or just to save it and reuse that for, you know, replays of that specific map save.

    And so on.

    So, like, seeing what kind of seeds will be flying around is going to be mighty interesting.

    Speedrun seeds?

    iron only run everything yeah exactly that's my thing as well like if you pop into um i mean any of the starting bios let me say say you pop into the dune desert which is harsh enough already uh and you only have like uranium it's like okay um so um yeah i'm so sorry chat i am reading chat i'm reading it is lightning fast right now so if i don't pick up the questions it's not because i'm ignoring i'm also just trying to get a little

    post video speech of my mind uh but we have that coming we're very happy to bring you daisy chaining we're very happy to bring you the vehicle rework not in the least oh my god oh the post yesterday was it yesterday on reddit where yet another post about vehicles just randomly doing their thing stopping not getting anywhere and i really just wanted to there and then be like

Community FYI: The Seeds feature will create a meta I'm afraid

    The seeds feature will create a meta, I'm afraid.

    I mean, then again, we have to have the basic map measured and calculated to pieces, so it will never be as optimized as that.

    And if it's even laughably easier than so, or smoother than so, then that's just a good thing.

    Ah, so yeah, that's not all the features, some of the bigger beats, there are still more micro features and optimizations to find in EXP as you hop in.

Q&A: Will randomisation increase or decrease the amount of nodes on the map?

    I saw a question, will randomization increase or decrease the amount of nodes on the map at all?

    No, the nodes will stay the same in total amount, they will just shuffle around.

    They will also not apply to water, obviously, and a select few others.

    I do want to say oil.

    I might actually be wrong on that.

    I don't remember.

    It's off the...

    It's with gases, liquids, and... Also, maybe SAM.

    I haven't checked in with this in forever.

    So, don't be... Don't freak out if not everything seems to budge.

    Oil does randomize?

    Sick.

    Thank you, Uzu.

    Thank you, Uzu.

    Okay, oil does randomize.

    Thank you.

    Randomization is Uzu's baby.

    Yes.

  3. Mikael

    For that matter.

    Sam 2?

    Sam 2?

    Well, then, what am I even doing here?

    I don't know.

    Uzu, get in here.

    Yeah.

    Yeah, I mean, it's basically almost everything except for gas system.

    So, yeah.

    How random is the random?

    Will the ratio between different users stay the same or just in a different

  2. Jason

    place?

    There are seeds for the randomization, so there's potentially infinite possibilities, or at least might as well be infinite.
