Just want to say as a researcher that has actually worked on this; there is sort of a heat map for oil locations around the world but the resolution is terrible. Gravitational density mapping theoretically reveals the location of oil deposites and gives rough compositional data that can be coordinated with seismic information and geological samples to give approximate areas where mineral or oil deposites are likely to be found. There's big money involved in mining so there's a lot of research into the subject to make this happen. This said E2 has clearly not bothered with any of that.

I think Wolfgang Walk also brought up the problems with resource location in one of the few early Q and A’s. I work in an underground mine, so if you go by Google maps, the mine on the surface is tiny. But in reality, we span out over an area hundreds of square kilometres. So how is E2 going to translate to in game?

Because if a player wants to, they can flatten Mount Everest.

I'm curious how this "Build something on your Tile"-works for those that bought tiles in the middle of Manhattan. Are those tiles just like any other tile, considered empty and just with a cooler background? Or are those middle-of-town tiles blocked from construction because there are already buildings on it? If you have a tile out in the woods, or out in the desert or wherever else in the wilderness then I can see that you can "build" things on that tile. But if I have a few tiles around the Empire State Building, and/or the Great Pyramids of Giza, will those buildings in any way affect my future gameplay? If there are buildings already on my tile will those block me from constructing things or am I bulldozing ancient historical landmarks? I've never played Satisfactory or Factorial but.. If someone posted a Kickstarter saying "We will make a scale replica of Earth, we will do our best to add natural resources to it as of year X (meaning oil fields drained after that year will still hold oil), once we feel comfortable with the Beta we will open it up for MMO where players can buy tiles with natural resources, build to extract them, then sell it on to someone who bought a tile with nothing major on it but who now have a sawmill or an iron smelter (which recruires concrete and electricity) etc etc.. Forming trade agreements, someone suddenly constructing 8 new nuclear power plants to tank the power of electricity (which can be blocked if people delivering concrete and other materials just say No), and all the other fun stuff." I can see how that could appeal to players but.. That has not been what they have sold the audience so far.. Maybe I'm just out of the loop but I cannot see how these buildings in any way relate to the tiles people bought, except more tiles = more space to build.

I remember the first year they did Child's Play, they rented one small truck and a small warehouse because they had no idea what the response would be (PA wasn't that big back then) and by day 3 they had 3 trucks and a much bigger warehouse and the first warehouse was just for storing empty boxes

These are all great questions Callum!! Looking forward to your interview with Shane if he ever decides to do it!!

This video is mastered at a really low volume. Also, the "lignitor" is presumably something that extracts or processes lignite - a kind of brown coal.

“There have been some updates. Not that sort of update.” No, you need a game for that sort of update.

[@monody]

Big problem with their dev logs is they ramble about discrete assets and the general use of that discrete asset, but there's is no context to the actual game they are going into or the intended gameplay.

[@TheCnstgrad]

What would keep the devs and insiders of Earth 2 from snatching up the good plots since they knew where the valuable plots are?

[@primusro]

The situation is even more crazy. Not only there are people that knew that a certain tile should have gold/oil but they didn't get them, but those that didn't buy their tile for this reason and there is no resource there in real-life got that resource in the game. So a part of the player base got double screwed just by sheer incompetence of the devs.

My son had cancer and thanks to a charity like the one you chose, he was able to play switch and xbox while dealing with surgery and treatment. Great choice. They do good work.

[@jerod5636]

We don’t know where oil necessarily in the real world. We drill dead holes all the time.

[@RM_VFX]

Construction should actually be on a slight mound to provide drainage

[@manfredpohlemann]

get well soon Callum

[@WoolfJ35]

Hope you get well soon dude

[@CainXVII]

Oh, that's a fantastic charity idea. I was in a hospital for a year when I was 8-9 years old. My best friend let me borrow his Nintendo DS which was a literal life saver.

"Land will never be that flat", have you've ever seen the Netherlands? It's pretty flat here! But yeah, you are right, it is really hard to have natural flat land in most of the world.

[@infinus5]

there is a giant golden christmas tree in southern BC Canada which i find utterly hilarious.

[@blane2472]

"You never find land this flat" - laughs in the Netherlands.

[@dougray30]

I'm just wondering if there's a correlation between "big supporter who owns a lot of tiles and promotes Earth-2" and "person who owns tiles that have magically been declared to have huge oil or gold deposits when there is no such deposit on the real Earth."

[@tripolarmdisorder7696]

Lignator is a synonym for Lumberjack or woodcutter. I suppose that they named the building that so that they wouldn't get a bunch of people doing the Monty Python bit "The Lumberjack Song"

[@johndoe-nr9ju]

I'd love to see an interview with you and Shane! He is actually building something as far as I can tell...

[@lysenthe]

hope your situation with your arm gets better, sucks that it was awful best regards

[@fredhurst2528]

Heat map designed to make tiles more appealing to promote activity on the exchange, since every transaction has a fee. Genius.

[@chrisjackson3587]

i remember playing warcraft ii shortly after it came out. if games of the time followed the modern format of releasing a building here, or a unit there, every few months or weeks or even years.... theres no way that pc gaming would ever have blossomed into what it is now a little under 30 years later. the game would have been unplayable if way back when i had trundled down to the pc shop, plunked down my hard earned lawn mowing money only to get home and excitedly enjoy.... the intro level where you build four farms and a couple peasents, then having to wait a month or longer to get the next building. never thought id see a 386 able to function more effectively than a modern multi-threaded processor.... that function in this case being the goal of entertaining a paying customer with an enjoyable, complete gaming experience. love your videos. thanks for doing them.

[@Marcus_Suridius]

Thanks for the video as always Callum, hope you get better soon. Tbh I usually would say don't take him up on the interview but the way this is getting more and more confusing id say interview and maybe when you ask him direct questions about specifics we might know what the hell they're trying to do with E2.

[@jdevlin1910]

Recovering from nerve damage as well mate, get well soon.

[@Hedning1390]

A world size mmo factorio could be really cool. I have 1000 hours in factorio, it's in my top 5 most played game of all time. What it definitely is not though is a metaverse. You're not going to have a shoe shop with real ads from ecco or addidas in the mmo factoiro clone. As for terrain that could be fixed with a simple terraforming formula that adds a cost to any terraforming. Sharper and higher drops would be exponentially more expensive since they would need reinforcement against landslides. That should discourage people from making things look too ridiculous.

[@danielelkin995]

Good and oil, great idea. Wood and clay just don’t have the same rush to it

[@zachariahm.kemper7406]

Shit man take some time to get better, you're always worth the wait
