Hashtag save the willows, by the way.
So there's actually another area that's getting a bit of a rework in Update 5, and that's actually gonna be the Dune Desert again.
The Dune Desert's got, you know, a few changes over the years, but it's gonna be a little bit more of a rework again in Update 5.
Now, this wasn't featured in the teaser trailer at all, so this is new stuff, you guys.
The changes to the Dune Desert is kind of weird, like...
They're more minor.
The Dune Desert looks and feels basically the same as it did before.
However, the changes that we did make are landscape based.
So people who are, you know, kind of concerned about their factories, there's the potential that these landscape changes may encroach on your factory.
So I'm gonna show off some before and afters of the dune desert changes just of a couple of the places So you can kind of see what we're talking about here So there's there's the big wall separating the dune desert and the spire coasts You can see that there used to be kind of steps and now it looks a little bit more natural now You're probably not building factories there.
So it's probably not a huge issue, but that's one thing that's being changed in the north eastern
portion of the Dune Desert.
There used to just be dunes there, and now there's going to be this massive crater there.
Again, this shouldn't be too much of an issue for people with existing factories in that place as the crater will be going into the ground.
So you might have a floating factory, but that's there now.
The eastern segment of the Dune Desert is also getting a little bit of work done to it.
You probably don't have a factory there, so there's probably not too much to worry about.
But there are some minor changes things have been moved around a little bit there as well There's also this massive big rock that's being introduced in the middle of the dune desert So if you have factories in the middle of the dune desert This rock may actually engulf some buildings of yours that are there now The plus side is this rock isn't super huge and you should be able to work around this rock if it's introduced But just a heads up that's coming as well but you can see there's some some new looks there for some of the other changes that are coming update 5 and
