I love how Noita's wand-building is so obscenely thorough that you can build a set of wands that just teleport you to another parallel universe. This is an insane level of smackery the game just lets you do. You don't need a cheat console to type your X position... you can build your own.

[@kaustik185]

Really hope this game persists and grows in the long run. I think the devs are a bit undwerwhelmed with the response but the discord is still on fire and people like LST, DOS, Nymphs or Fury really churn out content constantly and it does. Not. Get. Boring.

[@ninjanonja2251]

Dojaaan!

[@A_Simple_Neurose]

Precisely why I think the game just completely wasted this mechanic on a really uninspired shooting game. I feel like if this were a zachtronics-like instead of a rogue-like, with crafted puzzles and challenges where you have to build wands for a specific task, this game would've been an absolute masterpiece. The fun in this game always comes when you finally get that one spell or modifier that completes your wand and I feel like that would be the better direction for the game instead of just throwing it all in the hands of chance, I'd reckon 70% of the people who bought this game don't even get that deep into the main mechanic of the game, horrible waste of potential.

I would have loved to see the gold room in these parallel wordls, because they tend to get more and more distorted with every parallel world, imagine what a W512 gold room would look like

[@FuryForged]

I ended up trying to find the gold room earlier on in this process (maybe in the 100th parallel world? I don't remember exactly) but it seems like it wasn't even there. I was actually in a post-game world, having finished NG+28, so it seems the gold room was nonexistent. However, I'll soon be uploading the VODs of this entire process in 2 parts over on my other channel. It wasn't actually *too* long - maybe 3 hours total? I also am not quite finished with this run/save yet, so I'll make sure to look for the gold room again (the one down at the bottom of the world) before I end the run and...possibly go 512+ worlds in the opposite direction as well. I might also have to go up and down, since people in the comments are asking about those. Oof.

[@peabrainiac6370]

I find it quite surprising actually that the world size has anything to do with it. I'd have guessed the limit being something like 2^n pixels or 2^n chunks, not 2^n worlds

[@TheEnmineer]

@@peabrainiac6370 Well, consider that he's playing NG+, which makes the horizontal size of each world also a power of 2, 2^6 to be precise. So it would appear that the world limit is 2^15 chunks out from the origin.

[@chrisjackson5072]

@@TheEnmineer I ran the numbers and I think I figured out what’s going on. Since the ng+ worlds are 64 chunks across and each chunk is 512 pixels, the limit of 256 worlds means that we are starting to see really strange behavior at an x coordinate of 8388608, which happens to be 2^23. Single precision floating point values use 4 bytes, with 1 bit for the sign, 8 bits for the exponent, and 23 bits for the significant value. Assuming that the wall isn’t intentionally coded in, that would mean that player position coordinates are probably stored as single precision floating point numbers, and the reason we stop being able to move correctly in the x direction is that the game stops being able to properly detect position changes any smaller than 10 pixels. So, only something that can move 5 or more pixels in a single machine operation can actually move, since these would be rounded to the closest value. The reason we would see strange things happening in earlier words is similar, as the game loses the ability to detect movements of less than 0.1. Based on the math, I think you’re right, and that we should expect to see the same error occur on non-ng+ at just 234 worlds.

@@sergeantrubber552 Computers operate in powers of 2, but count 0 as a positive integer, so the upper bound is one lower than expected. 2^9 minus one is 511, so something unexpected could happen at 512 since the maximum expected value for that 9 bits would only be 511.

​@@GunPercent Yes and at 256 that's when the pixels started to stretch. I noticed the same thing.

Did you fail your computer science class or what? Whether 0 is positive or negative bears no significance. 512 is expressed as 2^9 which in binnary is 1 0000 0000 Bears no significance, again. The real reason why shit breaks js beacause the coordinate system is expressed in floats. Floats are relatively accurate up to 2^24 (all the way to a 24 bit number) then the decimal part starts losing its accuracy. Now width of a standard world in noita is 35840 pixels 2^24 / 512 ~= 32768 As you can see you can't fit a world with a width of 35k pixels into 32k pixels. Your coordinate system will mess up as the floating poijt representation becomes inaccurate The larger the float the larger the inaccuracy. These inaccuracies which start relatively sooner behind the decimal part are the reason we see all these artifacts. You are not a coder you are just a wanna be. How could you mess up something so simple

Imagine not finding circle of vigour in any and every one of these 1024 parallel worlds, that must be hilarious

[@Winasaurus]

Games that give you mechanics and let you go to town with them even if they get ridiculous is always nice. It's like a scale that's directly related to how interesting and fun a game is. Gungeon has pre-baked synergies with set effects, no real breaking to be had. Binding of Isaac has lots of weird effects, there's plenty that let you be immortal and lag the game to hell and back and break things in all manner of ways. Then Noita lets you build a boomerang railgun where the projectile teleports what it hits into a new parallel world because why the hell not? Generally if a game gives you tools and lets you abuse them to the point the game crashes, that game has great potential to be insanely replayable. My gungeon replays might just give me a different gun synergy where I do more damage. My Noita replays might give a fungal shift that changes how the entire game is played in a way I've never seen before.

[@11clocky]

Not necessarily. While Isaac and Noita have insane amounts of replay value, I find Gungeon the most fun to play of the games mentioned because of how enjoyable the moment to moment gameplay is. I have spent far more time in Isaac, but I liked Gungeon more for the highly polished bullet hell gunplay.

[@cosmologicl]

just wanted to say that I love that you related this amazing game with those two amazing games and their 'game breaks' I do understand and agree with what you mean with gungeon being a set in stone kinda thing since you can't really break it. Isaac also seems kinda fragile in where it straight up crashes if you push it too far. it also doesn't even have that many settings to help the game push further sadly. I have yet to play Noita and I can't wait to actually break the game further than I had done so with Isaac (doing blank card or diplopia wild card shenanigans) and Gungeon (haven't played in a while but most I can remember I've done was probably duct tape stuff with inf ammo guns or just clone)

[@reggie2176]

New player: This EDR must lead to an invisible wall... Experienced player: There are no invisible walls in Noita. Wizard: So ive made a wand that can teleport through parallel universes and...

[@chrisjackson5072]

It seems that things started getting extremely weird at x coordinates of 2^23. This makes sense, because this sort of behavior wouldn’t be unexpected if you are trying to increment a floating point number close to its precision limit. 2^23 is the precision limit for single precision floating point numbers, and it makes sense to use single precision instead of double precision to save computing time. That still doesn’t explain the crash at world 512 though. I can’t think of any reason for that to occur.

[@marksilverman]

They must have reserved 9 bits of memory for your parallel world ID. That runs out at 512.

[@MrFreakRite]

I normally would also not spoil secrets for games, but I'm glad I did for this one bc there's no way id EVER see this stuff myself with how casual I play in comparison 😂

[@aerbon]

these invisible walls i suspect are caused by the decreasing precision of floating point values. every time the number doubles we lose a bit more precision. when the game moves you it then has to round (truncate) your position, and once your movement speed is smaller than the accuracy the game has, it just rounds you back to where you were. if you increase your movement speed enough you should be able to move "normally" again until world 1024, given you solve the crashing issue.

[@CopiHuman]

This is super interesting! Thanks for sharing, I had a feeling there might be a more hard limit somewhere less then 2^10 worlds out due to limits similar to minecraft's farlands

[@lotarion]

@Sabizos it's mot multiplying, it's raising to a power. Basically, we have 1024 worlds to work with

[@CopiHuman]

@Sabizos ^ and * are different mathematically, ^ represents a power/exponent whereas * is multiplication. 2*10 would be 2+2+2+2.... so on. 2^10 would be 2*2*2*2... so on.

[@catz_ee]

I had some fun parallel world instability recently on a very long run I did. Turns out if your computer isn't quite good enough, you can get stuck in a fun cycle when teleporting into an area that contains objects with physics where the game continues trying to generate those objects until you either leave the area and come back, or crash. Basically turned every square inch of hanging vines into a rapidly growing mass of vegetation that does not enjoy being rendered.

[@proxy1035]

ah, good old floating point numbers. the larger the interger part the smaller the fractional part. basically meaning: every power of 2 you move away from 0, they loose half of their precision. which, if you're far away from 0 causes jerky movement of the camera/player/particles, stretched effects, and similar phenomenon. they all could easily be solved by replacing the floats with fixed point numbers, at the expensive of some extra memory and CPU time.

[@davidmcgill1000]

Mainly an issue when you exhaust all significand bits. First running out of bits for imprecise fractions, then ultimately crossing 1 meaning there can never be an odd number anymore. If you somehow get past that then you lose 2, 4, 8 and so on as you slide those 23 bits further away from 0.

[@Dr.W.Krueger]

"extra memory and CPU time" that might make things unfeasible quickly with so much going on. not exactly gaming related, but we moved our in-house renderer to 512-bit precision last year because we kept bumping into precision issues...but it's nothing you would do on consumer hardware.

[@mtndew314]

You started seeing issues at world 256 then a hard limit at world 512. Both of those are integer limits, 8-bit and 9-bit respectively or more likely signed 9-bit and signed 10-bit. It'd be interesting to see what madness might happen if you can get past the hard limit.

[@amaureaLua]

Those are important numbers for integers, but they're also important for floating point numbers, which I think is what we're seeing here. Floating point numbers get less and less precise as one gets further and further from the origin. For each factor of two further from the origin you get, you lose one binary digit of accuracy. Eventually the precision gets low enough that you can't even represent every integer, meaning things can only occupy every other pixel position, making them look interleaved. Double the distance again, and only positions that are a multiple of 4 can be represented, and so on. This also becomes a problem for movement eventually, as when the game tries to update your position using your speed, it ends up at a new location that just ends up rounding down to the same position you started at, leaving you stuck.

Actually - orbs in further parallel worlds are just copies of the same orbs in the previous parallel worlds (they have the same ID numbers.) So, you literally can only pick up the 11 in the main world, the 11 to the east and the 11 to the west. Then, it's possible to pick up 3 orbs in great treasure chests (1 in each world: center, east, west.) So 36 orbs is the max...unless we discover anything else.

Then I ripped apart at least 5 or 6 parallel worlds to the east and west before finally deciding to do this...and we're not finished yet.

1:19 Was this an intentional reference? 3:14 this is likely due to floating/double variable precision errors. they can hold only so many digits so they sacrifice the amount of decimal numbers for larger numbers when you get too far 3:38 this is probably the same error, but much more strong as the double variable values have less precision than the size of individual pixels, causing them to skip them. If you were to travel vertically instead of horizontally you would see the same effect but the stripes are horizontal instead... 4:44 i would assume the next bigger error would happen at 512 worlds since its a power of 2, which is how the values are stored (binary) 5:32 I'm guessing the next error ends up being so bad it messed up projectile movement completely. I do wonder if you move after shooting the projectile a little but you can still get it to work as it could just be because it moves a little too far from your hitbox. 6:32 this is because your speed isn't high enough to overcome the precision error now. if your player moved more pixels per frame it would be able to go further, which is why teleporting still works. Although even teleporting would have a limit if you go far enough... the next error should appear at 1024 worlds so good luck getting there if you try to!

[@azericthetraveller6355]

It’s pretty interesting that the world hopper wand seemed to get rather unreliable at world W490, eventually ceasing to work once he hit world W511. I feel like noita is the only game where it’s really easy to get into, but by the point of mastery, you’re bending space and time to your will.

[@FuryForged]

That was actually just my fault. With the wand I was using, you have to aim slightly down and then take a small step forward for the teleport to hit you. It’s easy to mess up, but that’s the only spot in this video where I showed it. So - just user error. But at world 511, it stopped working because it literally could not teleport me past the “invisible” wall, since ALL horizontal movement stops at that point (I was only able to go slightly further by using rapid fire teleports.)

[@GC-D]

Your videos are so good.

[@elloo98]

"I would love to be able to breach this invisible wall" In all likleyhood it's a built-in limit of the game, or rather the game cannot create a world beyond the 512'th because of the fundamental workings of either the engine, or even the perating system. 512 is a power of 2, and if something breaks when things are uncapped, it's usually at a power of 2. 512 would be 2^9, so the world storage is either a 10-bit signed or 9-bit unsignes storage. The particles going weird at 256 would tell me that it's probably a 9-bit signed that either underflows or somehow turns unsigned when a 257'th world is generated. Frankly I do not know why it works exactly like that, but I know that the barrier isn't something that can be overcome unless the engine gets reworked. At that point you are most likley writing to un-allocated addresses and screwing with things that shouldn't be messed with. The constant crashes beyond that point is a sign of that.

i suspect I understand the limit at 512... Each pixel is 8 bits of material data. Each chunk is 1024 pixels wide (10 bits) Each world is 32 chunks wide (5 bits) That leaves 9 bits in an 32-bit unsigned integer... exactly enough for 512 worlds, from world 0 to world 511. Spell effects require floating point calculations, so they will start to get inaccurate way before that if you don't use a local reference frame, hence the vertical lines.

Interesting that things break at world numbers equal to different powers of 2 (256 = 2^8, 512 = 2^9). These numbers are also 1 bigger that the biggest numbers possible with 8 and 9 bits respectively. My guess is that as you cross these borders certain variables suddenly switch to negative causing all the weird behaviour.

Hey Fury or anyone else, can you explain or have any idea why the large three-eye pillar at the start starts changing what pupils it has? Did Fury accidentally stumble across some kind of clue to the eye glyphs possibly? it can be easily seen at the end of the video starting @7:36

[@Nymphs]

Thank you for your documenting! I'm curious how far you went down? And if you tried without steam. Just out of curiosity if it might run better.

[@FuryForged]

I've fallen down the lava tube before (shifted to smoke) for around 2 hours. It got very crash-y and I had some unloaded chunks here and there. But I'm going to try teleporting up (with the PU teleport wand) tomorrow to see how far up I can go.

[@SawManga]

7:08 this wand is what i trying to do now into 5PW in game. so HOW? looks amazing.

[@justmutantjed]

Interesting. I wonder if the limit is based on processor? I recall you saying something about how the rollover for the infinite money & health marks (or maybe the reroll breaking trick?) might have been based on how much an individual CPU can calculate.

[@lumiknightwithawrench2946]

Fitting, that the moment you reach 255 and higher, it starts to get janky As if its either some Higher Force of Noita warning you of your perseverance, or simply rewarding patience and curiosity

"Are there lands where things s tart to behave very strangely?" ... I wouldn't call them normal even at the world 0

[@cowcat8124]

6:50 Could you perhaps move further through the "invisible wall" if you had higher movement speed? I assume the "wall" is due to float point imprecision, so maybe if you move far enough in one physics calculation, you could have the "invisible wall" be further to the east. The same exact phenomenon happens in Mario 64 when travelling to far off parallel universes, movement becomes very jerky as well.

[@mrpokets15]

Discovered something interesting in regards to this.... I fell for an ungodly amount of time, and made it to about 2 million (pixles? units?) under the world, at which point the game completely broke and ultimately crashed. This being said, I did the math and as it turns out, I had "wrapped" worlds about 8 times just about before crashing. Now this is odd to me given that 512 is the magic number left to right, but slightly under 8 is the max for up or down?

[@mrpokets15]

It's also not my pc, as I have no issues going to the 512 limit left or right lol

[@TheIst0NE]

Hey, are the 3 eyes changing on the big rock at the entrance of mines behave like some clock? I couldn't find anything on it online, only search results are for the eye puzzle.

[@Crazy___Ginger]

"But first, we need to talk about Parallel Universes." Oh god, here we go again, does it involve half A presses?

[@arcturuslight_]

"But first we need to talk about parallel universe travel wands" I see what you did there)

[@Kati_Gory]

i feel like if you go far enough there should be a super boss like the gods trying to smite you down for exceeding what they intended you capable of. our notia character is quite special after all ao itd make sense.

[@b0c58]

yay

[@Dr.W.Krueger]

breaking the limits of (sane) floating point precision

[@EclipseShadowScale]

the math that makes up the game, specifically positional values just starts breaking down it will only get worse the farther you manage to force it

[@floofzykitty5072]

It's interesting to note that 512 is divisible by 8, implying this "512" limit is likely related to the bits used to mark each world. I also assume you can go 512 each way, making for 1024 worlds. Anyone who works with programming a lot knows these numbers pop up a lot and it is unlikely to be a coincidence.

[@mattomanx77]

1025; with the '0'th center world and 512 on either side.

[@beastly_zero2966]

I'm just speechless, I'm 7-8h in on this game and i had no idea there were... parallel worlds? I'm super confused...what this means? There isn't just a world where you interact and discover secrets and beat enemies? I cant write anymore... I'm just speechless lol.

[@meowmrrpnyanya]

The eyes mason what do they mean!!!

[@cajunsnakejake]

Shane there was no sm64 title screen music when he started talking about parallel universes

[@sunbleachedangel]

I got a Minecraft ad on this lol

[@erkl8823]

I think I was just watching your video on loot River, saw the graphics on the thumbnail & had to look, this one looks great too, PC only?

[@HafJaf]

Yay, floating point error

[@Protoscherge]

512 World... sound like a code limit. What i want to say by that 512 is a by 8 divide able Number which would make sense for Programcode. As a Limit i mean. I guess behind that 512th World there is just your bare RAM left. Which die Engine cant render to you. Thanks for doing this and show us.

[@geotakek5329]

Hi @FuryForged i just think, what if coz it grafic gonna wild - it is a real hint to a eyes riddle? Maybe in a original world something change? Idk, just thinking

[@con.x]

1024 parallel universes... I wonder if any of the eyes are different in any of those worlds.

[@TheGingusa]

so if u go ack to the main world are the particles still broke? what happens if u go to 12 west after 512 east
