Oh [ __ ] that's the wrong scene. Here we go. What's up, Beam? Oh, I already [ __ ] up. Ah, which is why we have a new dude in here. Well, here you go. He's all yours. See you. I'm out. Wait, wait. No, no, not. All right. All right, y'all. We're going to do things a little differently here. Uh, this is, Hi, the new world order. Actually, hi. Is Is there Is there already audio issues? I don't want to do setups. I mean, probably, but then it doesn't matter. Oh, thank Oh. Oh, thank god Hannah's here. Yeah. Yeah. Well, all right. How's everybody going? Hello. Say hi to Jason. Of course, you know, Mikuel. Um, actually, I got to go. Bye. I'm going to text him for any audio issues that we have. Out the studio door. And my boss shouted in my face. If you take two more steps, you're actually fired. We didn't get too far. Hannah finally got her her good mic. Oh, thanks Anna. Helps a lot. Ah, hi chat. Yes, I did give Jason the bad mic, but we have no audio, which is right. As I caught, we tested we tested it like we did we did thorough testing about an hour ago for like six minutes. Yeah. Oh, it seems fine. I don't see any like I don't see any reactions. No, good. I think we're nice. I think we're good even. Hello, Chad. Ah, we're back. We're back for another Tuesday. And yes, if you missed last week's video on Friday or any other announcement, we'll do the Discord updates very, very soon. We just have a couple of final shenanigans to take care of before Jason is properly integrated into the rules and [ __ ] of the Discord server. But we have a new com this way. Community manager. Hello, Jason. Welcome to the team. Hello everyone. Thank you, Mikuel. Thank you very much. Um, it's good to be here. I, hope you all enjoyed that silly video on Friday if you watched it. Um, I do see some condolences here for, having to hang out with Mikuel. Uh, but he's he's actually pretty good company. I'm not going to lie. He's he's he's been welcoming me very nicely since I got here. Been getting paid to say that, so don't take take his words with a grain of salt. They pay me the big bucks to do that, too. Yeah. Kidding. Uh Jason's mic is low. That's fixed. That's not an issue. That's just audio. Uh we can screw the gain up by like maybe one or two gain. Do you want to do it on your end or should I? Um need to turn Jason up. Is it better to do it on my end or your end? Probably your end. Do you still have Universal up? Give it a little little extra juice. Is that better? Tell me a story. 10 second story. Um, did he already introduce you to Final Fantasy? That was one of the first things we chatted about because I'm not really a Final Fantasy fan, but I do. Now it's clipping. Perfect. All right. Ah, now it's clipping. Perhaps. Perhaps that's better. Um, yeah. No, we we really can't. No, it's it's it's incredible. I don't know. We we we should just start doing these like live in a town square where I can just shout at everyone. Um, no, those are not issues. Audio. That's just Oh my. Did the light just Dude, what's I literally just mentioned the light. I don't know. I don't know what's going on with this light, man. Oh [ __ ] Oh my god. I the the audio I can buy because like there's so many variables and so many like details with audio, but the light is what's really spooking me. Why the [ __ ] does that act like that? So it's not the bulb. I actually I got flashbang. That was crazy. Actually just went Hannah White. Yeah. Well, I mean, I hope Okay. I- I'll try not to I'll try not to scream and just let us know if the audio gets worse and in in in historical fashion we'll we'll just fix it. Oh, I mean I mean I mean yes. Yes, you'll get your sit-ups if we have like proper crackling or whatever. You'll get it. I'm promising you like I'll I will turn the camera I will take like a minute to adjust the camera for a ground POV and you will see me do s I promise chat I promise like actually, I bet Michael Mik made you look quite you are no to Hannah- I will also say though- I'm I'm pretty pale I'm I'm maybe like a little darker than Hannah is and the light that we have coming from outside directly right here there's a giant window and I don't know if, anyone else knows or is in Sweden, but it gets very dark very late here. So, the sun is beaming through this window is absolutely beaming through curtains. So, we can't fix that. We don't have the the blackout curtains here. So, which we should actually I always thought I always thought y'all were setting the lights too too hot for Hannah, but, it's actually just the sun. So, yeah. Wonder that's that's a good shout. what the blackout cutters might be. I mean, we've we've asked N for so much since you got here because I mean, another person in the office obviously needs all the tools and the bits and bobs. I'm sure we could afford blackout curtains. Yeah, we we should we should definitely consider an upgrade so we can truly black out this room and never see the sun ever again. So, what's on the list now then? We want blackout curtains. We want a third camera. We want, a new one more light, a new light. We want a TV on the wall. And we want audio outside of headphones in this room. Uh we might want dynamic mics, not directional. Uh yeah, it's a decent wish list. Yeah, random blanket. Yeah, we could that that works. I did that for a long time, when I was just at home. I actually got a, a green screen blanket from Corridor Digital, like five, six years ago and I was using that for Zoom meetings and that was that was very funny. I would even like wrap it around myself and I would make myself disappear like like Harry Potter style. Oh, but speaking of, speaking of YouTube, again before we actually speak of YouTube or anything, let's hearken back a bit. Uh yeah, Jason is in house. Uh when did you join Jason at all? Uh I actually got here back the end of March. The end of March. Yeah, it was the end of March. This is correct. So I' I've taken my sweet time ramping up. I spent a lot of time playing the game actually, which was which was very nice. Very nice of you to to let me do that. Uh so they they put me to work digitally at first. Yeah. Yeah, I think I clocked like 130 hours in Satisfactory the first the first four weeks. It was crazy. Oh, I don't I don't know. Like I think I think chat getting paid for like two and a half weeks to play Satisfactory. Could you consider that? I don't think it's I don't think it's much to harra about, right? It's kind of a stay of life. Yeah. You know, I mean I give me some grueling labor, you know? Like I want to feel like I'm earning my money. Uh I do feel bad though. I do feel bad because, I did try to think of some other like light tasks, for the onboarding. So yeah, Jason joined at the end of March, which is funny because you chat will remember the I think at least you, will remember the week that we launched 1.1 EXP and that we u the Friday that we sent the 1.1 runown rundown video to YouTube. Uh the following week I took a week vacation and that was Jason's second week in the office. So I was like, "Cool, you're here now. Bye. See you." Yeah. He did me a little dirty. Yeah. Uh- I was in meetings getting asked community questions that I just I really didn't know supposed to be. Um and, yeah, at one point I think we were we we had to upload a video, right? Yes. And, Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. The April 1 video. there was an issue with it and we actually, we had to we had to reach out to Mikuel while he was on vacation. Uh which is nice because I got to take a little flex time afterwards. Uh after the fact I got to raid a lot which is nice and do other [ __ ] as well. Still tomorrow by the way no today actually today is the last day of rec, except I won't be joining. I have other plans. Oops. Uh so that's cool. But, yeah, no to get back to the, YouTube topic for now. Again, just hearkening back to Jason's video. If you haven't seen that or if you just gave it too many watches and forgot the details, I am not being replaced. I know some of you wish that was happening. No, I am not. Uh if some of you have grown about as much beard as neither of us because we are both rocking stubbles, but at least his is on his way back out again, which is a plus according to all of you. Um, we are working together and if you remember the I mean good old yield days of, Jace and Snoot and then Snoot and me at least on the dev streams. Uh we're kind of thinking of something like that. We'll just be back to working together as a duo because this work is just really much better when you have a duo being able to bunch off of you guys first and foremost but then also off of each other. Um, hoping to have a lot of good just like more alive content with two people pulling the reins. Um, again, like if you've seen old content on YouTube, just not how Jason Snoop did it because they had their own style and then Snoot and I, at least on the streams, had our own style. Uh, we hope to be able to find a nice groove like that. Uh, what this boils down to in detail is that, dev streams will mainly default to us two going forwards. Uh, sometimes that might differ depending on vacations or sickness or busy schedules. Sometimes you might get only me, sometimes you might get only Jason, sometimes you might get one of us plus another dev, both of us plus a dev, one of us solo, maybe nothing at all. We'll see. But, streams are supposed to be us by default. And YouTube will also hopefully be airing on the 50/50ish. Uh if you have seen the intro video, actually let me go ahead and link it because if you send exclamation mark Jason in chat, bam, you will see the little message saying hi to him and he will have a YouTube link to his video. Um videos in this vein where we just both appear, we just do both do bits. Um we both send information your way. We both narrate, stuff like that. a lot of appearing together, maybe taking turns at times doing the more run-of-the-mill talking head videos, etc. Uh, the point of Jason being here is, to get me a friend cuz I like friends, and I have a new one, I think. Do you I mean, I don't I don't know much about about your personal life, maybe. Let's gauge after three streams before actually committing to anything. Who knows? This could go anywhere. We we've been enjoying just chatting with each other about future, marriage. Yeah. YouTube videos. Yeah. As well as, some stream ideas in the future, too. Uh it's exciting. I'm I'm very excited to to get into it. Honestly, I've spent a long time. You replace Jason. Yeah. Yeah. That that was that was a big requirement here. I sorry- I got to yap a little bit yet louder. I'm I'm a little softspoken., that that I've been behind the video, for a long time like editing and doing stuff like that. So, actually getting in front of the camera and getting to do, you know, some skits and just communicate information like that has been has been really cool, honestly. So, I'm excited to do more of that. Yeah. I think I just need I just need to yap a little louder. Pop a bit. Yeah. Uh, so, with that said, Jason, can you without without telling us what the next video is about, can you tell me what the next video is about, which is Friday next week, by the way? Ooh. Um, you know, when we when we made that video, I was having a particularly bad day. Um, lots of tears. So, I'd actually really rather not talk about it. I don't know if there's anything that you want to share, in that. It was a traumatic experience. We have we have one little we have one little take, one little take from the raw footage, that I whipped together. Uh a little still to, wet your appetite chat of what's coming your way next week. And, before I spoil everything going on on this monitor, let me close down a few things. And, the vibe it should be fine, right? If I share if I share this. Is it fine? No, I think it's invisible. Right. The vibe is going to be something like this. This chat, it was, a dark day in the office. Shooting has already been done for the next video. And, and, the storyboard was interesting. Yeah. Oh, Jason is in this video, too. I promise. Just, the dummy takes these two shots were like too good to pass up on. So have a have a little have a little bone chat. You can you can, speculate about what the next video is. Dissect that. Yeah, for sure. Uh that's all you're getting. Nani. What? Yeah. No, it's it's it's it's a it's a good video. I think, by the end of it, I think you'll like it. I think you'll like it. No community highlights. No, no, we'll we'll do highlights. We've got that going coming on later on. Oh, I actually Oh, that good catch. What I happened to do is I probably I changed one of the tags to highlights, instead of adding a fourth one because we do have a follow-up which we haven't even started yet. Um, actually speaking of the highlights, chat, I'll just be frank and open and say frank and open and say that this stream, considering it is Jason's first stream, is going to be a bit special. We'll obviously touch on, I mean, you see the title stream, we have one thing to mention about 1.1, we'll touch on a few other satisfactory things as well, such as the follow-up of a certain thing, one certain thing. Um, and then, the Q&A today is open to questions about the game. Sure, if you want, but also since Jason is brand new here and you're going to be seeing a lot this way a lot of him going forward. Please ask away if there's anything you want to know about this guy or me, although I'm much less interesting. Uh, ask away. It is an open Q&A for the game, but also for any of us. And if the questions are like listed listed, we might just do a longer Q&A today. We'll see. But let me add the highlight section back in chat. Uh, there we go. And how will this look in the middle of the action? Oh, it's just tab. Cool. Would you look at that? Community highlights. There we go. Spell the SD on your cap. Yeah. No, that's, this is this is a a baseball cap. It's the San Diego Padres's. There we go. Uh, so before we trot along with the, I guess new stuff agenda about us funny figures, let me pull up. We are not presenting anything on screen. Good. Let me pull up teams and all of the spoilers that come along and let me hop into a chat with Guru because Guru caught something from last stream that, very much saved my butt and Hannah's because neither of us could answer this question. Um, a question we got last week was, "Is there any update to conveyor splitter throughput?" Any update on the conveyor splitter throughput blueprint bug? They don't stay connected. Uh neither one of us, could answer this question. In fact, I didn't even recognize it. So, I'm good at my job, I promise. Um Guru has updates. It is definitely being worked on it. They can reproduce this bug every single time they try and, they have it in, like on the radar with the priority of it being done for 1.1. So, that should be solved hopefully. We never promise anything in this house. I mean, we do sometimes, but we also lie. So, that's actually the only follow-up I had, which is, not really detailed or a lot, but at least you'll know, you know, we aim for that to be fixed, which is good enough. Uh, so let me hop from followup and into state of dev, which can be state of, community to for all. Why Why isn't the agenda is the agenda changing chat? always didn't follow up. Why always didn't follow up? Hello. Am I tripping, chat? Um, is is stuff happening on your

[Music]

end? No. No. Okay. What if I just delete follow-up? The highlight is frozen. Take issue. At least they are not audio issues. May Let me just close my assistant up and close it down and back up again. If I do this, we're going to have to do so many setups. Oh man, none of these are audio. Cool. The agenda is frozen, which is great. Uh, sorry, Jason. I'm going to delete you for one second. See you. You see how per chat if I'm talking alone in the stream. We don't even have an agenda. So, this thing is breaking apart by the seams by the day. And now if we go to talking with two people, it's just frozen in this state perpetually. Community age. It never managed to write out highlights properly. That's amazing. Cool. Excellent. Thanos snap. That's enough. Okay, chat. Just just do me a favor and pretend we are Wait, if we go to the third scene. No, doesn't work. Cool. Uh, just pretend we are in state of dev. That's completely fine by me. Uh, state of dev. State of dev. The game chat. The title of this stream. I feel partially guilty for this. And I hope you don't do anything as silly as I have done, Jason, going forwards. It's bound to happen. All right, chat. Enough of that. Um, I think it's been like five or so streams or five or so, five or six weeks ago since the question was asked. Is there anything that is going to be in 1.1 that is missing on experimental right now? And my answer to that question was a very quick rapid fire. Yes, there is. There is a feature feature missing from exp. That's going to be in 1.1. Uh, and that was true. That feature is now in experimental. It is, not entirely functional. It's on the branch. Um I'm kind of, as you may or may not notice, I'm kind of nervous talking about this because what happened to that specific Q&A segment, that specific question was Reddit took this or Marv took this and clipped it. Uh as you know, Marv always does because he's a backbone archiving all of our shenanigans. Um, but the community took this clip and they ran with it and theories about what this feature could be started ramping up and scaling up. And I'm like, guys, it really it really is not that big. I promise. But then there was like kind of uncertainty of if this feature would make 1.1 in the first place, so I couldn't even talk about it properly when it was starting to blow up. Uh, but then eventually it finally got back in or it did get into the game now in its broken state. Uh again, TL TLDDR of this long nervous rant is that, if you have been hyping this feature up and if you have been thinking that just by the brush of yes response to that question, if you've been thinking that it's something like very major, I think the biggest thing I've seen, is, not phase but tier 10. Tier 10 is not happening. No, it's nothing of that scale. It's nothing even remotely close. The, new last mystery feature of 1.1 is elevator. Elevator, which is Ada in the personal elevator just mingling to you, mingling with you, talking to you. It's a little mini Ada, a little Ada talking to you in the elevator, personal elevator. Um, and she is a different entity from Ada. And, you can spot her in 1.1. I think the issue with Elevator right now is that she's supposed to actively by some metric speak to you throughout a session as you are. My camera is doing funny things when I'm moving my hand around. Uh she's about to just talk. She's supposed to talk to you in the elevator with intervals. Uh we think she only speaks once per save file right now, which is bad. So that's going to be fixed hopefully. Uh otherwise, yeah, that's it. It's a little ADA for the elevator only. That's the last feature. Elevator is adorable. I'm gauging my reaction right now. And thankfully, I don't think maybe maybe I blew this up in my own head way more than I needed to cuz, again again I've been nervous about like oh [ __ ] did I like did I accidentally set them off to like come here with pitch pitchforks if we don't give them tier 10 now and, it'll be a very bad start for Jason. Let me say that I'm not very fast. It's like promising him like I promise these guys are the most wholesome people in the community. him saying that to you. I should have believed it myself and be like, "Yeah, they wouldn't come after me for that. Would they tier 11 when?" Ah, wouldn't you like to know? Wouldn't you like to know? Oh, once possession. Sorry. Once per session. Cool. Thank you, Hannah. Uh, no golf. No, not happening. How long did I work on my elevator pitch? I didn't- I did see another another comment saying, "Was that clip that Jason made on the skateboard actually in game?" Uh that that was that that was unfortunately not. Um believe me, I will be very annoying with the dev team, from here on out about adding skateboarding. Uh- I think there's probably a 0001% chance that that actually happens. But, if I can make it happen, you know, if I do anything here, I hope I hope it's that. That's still a bigger chance in golf. 01. Yeah, that that that nonzero chance is mostly for my own sanity. Mhm. Um are we ever getting tier 10 or is that a definite no? Never say never. And also, hi there. So, when is the new update coming? I finished the game a while ago waiting for a reason to come back. Uh when is the new update coming? Um, can't say obviously but what I can tell you chat what I can tell you today is that we have, you can expect there to not be any major updates to experimental for a bit now. Mainly because there's vacation still plaguing us. Uh, next week is a 3-day week for us and I believe the week following is a 4-day week. Yeah. So, patching is annoying. Uh, but also maybe experimental does not need more patching. Who knows? Who knows what the devs are up to in that little funny room of theirs. I've been busy just bringing this guy along for the ride, showing him. So, this right here is Reddit is a very funny website. It's hard, too, cuz he's actually not allowed on the dev floor. They have signs all over the place that say that he's not allowed. Um, which is actually true, by the way. Yeah, I'm not really sure what he did, but- I've been a little too scared to ask. Not for me, though. I can go up there. So, they they're really nice, which actually is a gain for the community. Like, honestly, like it's, about time someone can give them news about the game eventually. Eventually. Um, and honestly, elevator and, no major updates for a bit and, the follow-up about, conveyor belts conveyor belts, throughput blueprint bug are about the only things new about the game today. So, state of dev is mostly done. But before we move on to, let me actually prepare a little snippet of information here. Where did that little link go? Uh before we move on to other fun topics, we are going to talk about a couple of things pertaining to pertaining to let me just I have important message. Sorry. Leave, to to your point, Captain Cap. Um that's that's just Sweden. Uh- I got here last year from from the States and they, the government makes you vacation. So, they we really can't do anything about it. It can get kind of annoying if we're being honest. I'm not used to this much vacation. There we go. Um there we go. Uh, we will do shout outs for these big things. I believe you have one on your end, too. We showed them off yesterday. Look see what we got here. We talked about these briefly last week as well and showed them off. These are indeed the Satisfactory 2 LP vinyls that are now out and hot. I don't want to mess too much with showing the discs. I know Hannah was confident doing that last week, but, maybe if I just am very careful with Can I like take this out of the paper? Is this Careful, man. Is that allowed? If I break it, someone is going to come after my head. Hang on a second. I love like the It's like a 70s style art. Like I think this would fit just perfectly in with like your record collection. Yeah. And one of them is Brave Satisfactory Orange. Beautiful. Yes. And a little update we have about these are that there are actually some in stock right now for you to grab if you want to. Uh I believe the numbers were that we have 40 in Europe and 120, in North America spread between the US and Canada. So if you are hungry for these vinyls, do pick them up. Do pick them up. And chat, we are also going to kick off something. Sorry, but I'm so bad at multitasking. I'm trying to like not not crack this thing as I'm putting it back into the cover. That would be a pretty bad look. We are also going to talk about other things pertaining to cool satisfactory toys and that is a shout out to Now, let me prepare this little thing here. Did I just go away on Did my camera just die? Uh, my camera just died. Excellent. Why did it just die? Uh oh. Uh oh. Wait, he's dead. Is Is it overheating again? Is Is that it? That Yeah. No, there there's smoke. Yeah. Yeah, I know. Sorry. Sorry, everyone. Um he's grabbing the fire extinguisher. Yeah. Yeah, we we really do need to get the the water cooling hooked in. Oh, yeah. There it is. You could run for Got to get out of here.

[Music]

You know, I was watching the streams, for a good a good a good while before actually coming on one and and a good chunk of it is just, you know, just fixing it. You know, we we should we should get you set up with like a Vtuber. We should we need like a Vtuber, Mikuel. We should. Uh yeah, the camera is overheating. Like, it's on high temperature. I'm I'm going to disappear soon again. So, so, I'm quite literally fired. Yes. I don't know what to do about this chat. Um if I disappear mid this little mini presentation, then that's fine. Just live with it, please. Uh we'll figure something out as we go. Uh, but enough of that. Let's hop into this button here. That should be everything. And let's go to presentation. Now we have toys for you, chat. So, what are you looking at? You are looking at a new little incentive, a new little project being made by Heroic Replicas. This is the big box of goodies is what this is. It contains a lot of cool ass Satisfactory merch, including H. What do we have on the screen here? Look at this mouse pad.

Let me edit the title so that big box is now also available or visible for all to see., and indulge because, one very cool thing about making a game and seeing it come alive like just in a community like this is also seeing it appreciated enough to have like actual real life toys to, what what I say like homage it play with just appreciate, wait can I click on that good, I lost my train of thoughts it's hella coold We are. Oh, is Dave in chat? Oh, hell yeah. Then it's kicked off. It has begun. Let's see where this goes. Um, was that the last thing on the agenda? I believe it was, right? Yeah, it was. Yeah. Cool. All right. So before we enter highlights, Jason, how much satisfactory how you have you played in terms of progress? What have you reached? I am on tier 9. I am just about to go nuclear and I am experimenting with adding drones to my workflow. Uh I'm honestly a little bit at a standstill. I feel like I need to rebuild my entire factory line just to like get things where I want them to be. So, every time- I log on, I just, I just like run around trying to figure out what I'm going to do and then- I build like one thing and- I log off because I know I know given the the time I will just play for 12 hours and and and just Yeah. ruined my life. Fun fact about the, the video. Yeah. Okay. We didn't lock him into the room and have him actually play until his beard grew to be that large. But but, this man is absolutely taking to the game much faster than I did. I can tell you that much. It took me a while to, get good and honestly like have, have fun. Like right now today, like in today's day and age, I can sit down at home on Wednesday and like in the evening and be like, "Yeah, I kind of want to play Satisfactory." Uh, but it took a while to reach that stage. Um, this there there seems to be less friction here. Please chat, don't scare him off. We're making good headway right now. No. Uh, my I mean you if you watched my intro video, my factory is an absolute mess. Um, that genuinely is my save. Um, I did it mostly for the bit. I feel like I'm somewhere between complete spaghetti and like having a perfect organized factory. Um, but like it it it's bitten me in the ass if we're being completely honest. I- I it's not efficient at all. So, I'm I'm really I'm I'm debating even I'm debating restarting all the way to like figuring out how to do my like iron make and get get my iron workflow like good. How is my save a war crime? I have half a mind to boot it up actually and show you. It's not a It's Yes, I'll fix it later. Exactly. Exactly. Special, but leave it alone. Yeah. [ __ ] off. I hate you. Yeah, it it really is so much fun though. Um- I don't normally play too many like at least- I'm pretty new to factory games as a genre. I' I've always known about factory games. I played a little bit of Factorio, and talked to friends that are really obsessed with Factorio, but and I'd always known about Satisfactory and and really getting to dive in has been so much fun. It reminds me, a lot of back when I played modded Minecraft, doing certain mod packs in Minecraft. Like it's it's capturing that same feeling from when I was younger. You want proof of your save? We should make yo save comparison stream like in the near future. Yeah, that kind of hard actually. We we can definitely do that. Kind of hard. Yeah. I'm I'm shameless. I- I'll put it all out there. Nah, chat. Nah, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'll land on I'm taking this home. I' I've been here for like I've been here for almost two Okay, two one and a half years, but that's like if I can't if I can Well, I haven't actually gone past phase three yet without AGS or advanced game settings. So, maybe I shouldn't post too hard. I- I've seen your save. We We both do the, giant like highways in the sky. I love that with no supports. like they don't make any physical sense, but they're so convenient and they look kind of like they look like you actually have made a dent in the world, which is also huge for me. We've built 20,000 foundations. And with that chat, I did switch the agenda over to community highlights. It's still frozen in follow-up. I have no idea what's going on. And I'm gone.
