I had a couple of questions right now, as well as during the countdown, expected, asking still, what is EXP, or what is experimental?

For anyone confused or anyone new to this show or our jargon in the first place, 1.2, the actual update, is not hitting the full live released version of the game in three hours.

What is happening in, well, three hours and two hours and four minutes is that we are having an experimental session that should last basically, I think, until from today, tonight, until the day 1.2 hits live, with maybe a week or two as a gap between.

EXP is, or experimental, is PC only.

You opt in on your own volition.

There is no raffle, there is no RNG.

If you want to play, you can play.

You opt into a, I guess, beta server of sorts, where we release everything, because this experimental session will have every feature of 1.2.

All features themselves will perhaps, maybe, maybe not be entirely fully baked and that's the point of eXp.

It's up there for testing and for, again, beta-esque gameplay purposes.

So that's what's gonna happen in roughly three hours.

You will be able to tune in and there are plenty of resources including on our own video channel.

how to opt into exp through both epic and steam and if you want to you can either hop in yourself and try out the new features check out what 1.2 is all about we're gonna talk about it as well in our video later today in the stream live with you guys or you can follow along when other people do it on youtube and twitch and all the funny platforms

so yeah

Yeah, anyway, 1.2 is going to land right on top of the tech EXP.

It should be seamless, there might be a couple of minutes of downtime in the EXP, and when that happens, the tech EXP session that is on the EXP right now is not going to hit the live servers.

We're happy with what the tests yielded for tech EXP, and the optimization that stemmed from that, that we've developed for that,

is going to hit the live game together with 1.2 when 1.2 hits the live game down the line whatever that is we shall see we shall see uh too bad y'all are using restream and not multistream

It's dropping today.

1.2 is dropping on the experimental branch today, which means that anyone who wants to can opt in and play all the coming features that are still under development on the experimental branch on PC, specifically both Epic and Steam.

Yes.

I'm so sorry.

What time can I tell her to check for the update?

4 p.m. UTC.

That's when your wife can start the XP

update for you.

Are you telling me I built the entire factory in the past two months and there's a massive update coming?

If you go to eXp, yes, and for the love of God, back that save up.

And that goes for every single one of you.

If you intend to play your favorite save on eXp, or any save for that matter, back them up before you load them on eXp.

Absolutely.

Whether they work or not, there is no going back.

And if we don't, Mr. Tux, you might die.

It's your time.

You genuinely.

There's always the chance.

Yep.

Ooh, cool.

It's out!

Woo!

We made it!

Let's go!

It hit zero.

New times.

New times.

Excellent.

It was gigafun

with you and you all day today.

Thanks for hanging out, everybody.

It's been amazing.

I'll see you on the other side, in-game as well.

Knock yourselves out and go random.

Go crazy.

Yeah.

Bye.

All right, y'all.

1.2!
