so we can't confirm at all what is happening past 1.1 and consoles obviously, but is there a timeline out of several possibilities with this game and where it's heading forward that U there will be changes and SL or alteration and SL or additions to the map eventually the the existing one yeah I mean I don't think we're going to be adding any anything new, I feel like the the the map as is is kind of it's good and I think it might be quite complicated for us to actually start adding more areas to it, on a technical level but also on a design level, because if we for example would add like just add another biome just somewhere on the map that also would affect like okay what resources would you find in the biome and how would that mess with the current balancing that is all across the map so that might Echo actually into a lot of gameplay changes right, and then also if we would add it to like this existing map we would have to kind of also make sure that like any any gaml that's part of that would match right so it's like a bunch ofs that might not be super interesting for us or for the players yeah there might be some small changes that we do there you know optimization work might continue we might like, Spruce things up a little bit, and just improve the quality overall but then I think we would rather focus on kind of like larger things like for example trying to bring brain back, that kind of really add to the atmosphere everywhere so yeah I mean that's kind of how I how I see that now and I mean it could always change, but I don't think just plopping a biome into the map as is would work for example like I think that would cause a lot of issues, for for basically both both groups makes perfect sense and, that also touches on SL even answers the next question which is will we see other new biomes than the lava and wait will we see other lava and snow biome when did the lava biome get here I mean you know actually like spy Coast like we we tried to sort of make that a lava biome but like for scope reasons we kind of had to we we had to kind of get rid of the the the more difficult parts of that and like lava would mean adding a new Hazard and a bunch of new assets that were a bit more complicated, so we focused instead on making it as it became, which is a more kind of tropical biome which you know it implies that some of this maybe was created through volcanic activity but it it doesn't actually like depict any of it or show any of it unfortunately, thank you little bit streams I appreciate that nice compliment
