So one thing that I thought was really interesting with this specific one when we talked about the mining thing is that you can mine everywhere, right?

When you place miners, you can place them wherever you want.

So you got the same thing in the top corner there.

You have three options here.

I got 50% stone here.

That might be good.

and then you walk up to the miner and you pick the recipe in the miner and that that blew my mind a little bit that like miners had recipes back in the day um so yeah i could place a miner here and then i could place another miner here this also this version also has you can spin the holograms so now i can actually place a little bit more i want how i want them and then let's build a smelter because now we have smelters in the game

And they look like faces.

I think this also like opens its mouth when it's like, let's see here.

So let's hook up conveyor belt here and then set a recipe.

Does it have two inputs?

Yeah, it did.

Interesting.

I think we used to have, or maybe in a build before this, but we also had like coal inputs to everything before, even before we had the wind turbine, I think.

Interesting.

There we go.

Okay.

There's something with the menus where like it won't take the recipe unless you're... Yeah,

especially like the first you need to go down and up, I

guess.

We also have conveyor poles now.

We didn't have that until this point.

And then hook up belt.

Got iron ingots.

I think this is a constructor.

That we now refer to as a constructor.

So hook up that.

And then we create iron plates.

Iron plate.

So out of iron ingots, we get the iron plates.

What was that machine called?

Is it a manufacturing plant?

Yeah, manufacturing plant, exactly.

That was also an interesting time when we tried to define, like, okay, so they're not just manufacturer tier one, two, and three, but, like, that why is a constructor simpler than an assembler and an assembler is simpler than a manufacturer?

Yeah.

Like, those words are just...

They have no hierarchy meaning in the way that you want in a game.

That was really hard to figure out what can make sense and not.

So yeah, this is pretty much a basic first production chain.

And it's kind of fun to see how this chain still exists in the game to this day.

And we didn't have any goal

As of yet, right?

There's no hub trading post.

No.

In this version.

This

is all just like the construction setups.

Yeah,

yeah.

So apart from that, we also have a coal generator, which is pretty much how we had it before update three, where like you just feed it in coal, I guess.

And then we'll give you power.

We also have a oil pump that you can also just place wherever you want.

And then we also have, so we have the assembler here.

And this is the old kind of look of the assembler.

This is kind of looking like how the assembler used to look before we did the change in update 2, was it?

Yeah, because we had that big boxy thing actually in the early access version,

right?

I think so.

I don't remember if we... No, we did a launch with it.

Yeah,

I'm pretty sure we did.

So yeah, this got the boxy look of it.

Um, you can create steel ingots, engines, engine?

Wow, cool.

Miniature engine.

Oh, wait, wait, we gotta check out these things on the list here.

Uh, AI controller chip, battery, cables, circuit board, drone chassis.

Oh, we even had drone ideas back then, huh?

We got it all figured out from, like, week eight.

Pretty much.

We

got all the ideas.

I like this version of the game.

It was fun to play it also.

And it opened up a lot of questions for, like, how, um,

With you being able to build everywhere and mine everywhere, what scale is this game?

What's the kind of experience we want with the procedural or the created world?

Yeah,

the handmade.

Because here it's really hard to know what people will do and how they will build and how they play the game.

But it has its ups and downs.

For sure.

I think it's very interesting.

Check out the water.

Very, very cool.

There's stuff in here in the water, like in the lake here.

Very cool.
