GMOD VR: Exploring gm_Vacant_Industry (Deep Secrets)

[@LeoparditusRecords]

A common misconception with reactor coolant is that it's bad for you, or radioactive somehow. Nuclear reactors typically use water as coolant and as mediator. Water typically can't be radioactive, as the fissile materials sink to the bottom, and since water is a lot of particles for radioactive beams or particles to collide with, it mostly prevents radiation from leaving the water, up to a certain depth, where it's negligible. That small silo you fell into could be dangerous for depositing radioactive isotopes on your shoes, but a change of shoes and pants will mostly get rid of all that, assuming you don't have a radiation cleaning shower at the top in the basecamp. 👌😎

The funny part too is that radiation effects may take weeks to present itself with any symptoms at all meaning even if he got hit with a lethal dose of it he'd not know until afterwards. For all we know he could've been a dead man this entire video.

True, but it depends on the coolant. Not all forms of coolant are just water, and who knows what they could be using here. I mean they have a freaking "meat generator" in this map.

The laser beam corridor I think is doubly clever, because the timing is actually fairly lenient, but because you get that pre-fire effect, it really serves to stress you out, because that always comes on while you're still in the way of the beam.

Great map and video. But of course, when The Librarian reinstalls his VR mod and seemingly gets it working better than ever, it's coupled with the ONE MAP that has specially coded dialogue that completely breaks in VR. It sounds like that may have even brought the map down a little for him. I'm calling for a short addendum video on this map, I think it's earned it.

Lately I've grown to appreciate industrial goliaths like this.

I've made an effort lately to translate it into map form, but the results remain to be seen. Also, I noticed that this map bears a striking resemblance to parts of the Air Exchange from the HL2 Beta, but that might just be me. The assets are certainly present.

to answer you on the geothermal. Wells typically are ~200 for residental applications and as deep as 600 for commercial. large scale power plant can be a lot deeper, with the deepest being near the salton sea in California being ~5250 ft. but recent plants will typically just dig more wells down to 600 to minimize cost.

[@javierdavidferreiros8834]

As a computer repairman, I always recommend my clients to have one or more USB hard drives (mechanical if possible, which are more reliable than SSDs or solid state drives) to back up their personal data and programs or games. Because just like with people, our computer's SSDs are fine today and may fail tomorrow, either because they were damaged or due to a power outage. Also many times we can save some things using some bootable disks such as Hiren's boot or similar, so that with an external disk save the data, or in your case the gmod maps or other games. Greetings atte and exploration gameplay.

[@sammy_wills]

I think you've gotten it mixed up. SSDs are far more reliable than mechanical hard drives which have moving parts and more points of failure. SSDs have a set lifespan that can be tracked and aren't susceptible to mechanical failures like the small arm that moves over the discs in mechanical drives breaking. Not to mention, SSDs are far faster that mechanical drives since they don't have to rely on a spinning disc which can only spin so fast.

[@wolfenrichtophen6010]

It's probably the perfect map, if you had a group of friends, who were doing a roleplay of a tactical team entering the location because they were tasked with seeing why the bastion appeared, or was there. A secretive organization testing things that are possibly warcrimes, etc. And in the lore for the map, a spec team is sent to see what happened, would be good to see a, multiple person review of it in that style, in my opinion.

3:09 The expression shown on the blueprint here is equivalent to _y_ =1191 6:41 The elevator is going down unusually quick. Probably for gameplay reasons, but I wonder if it means anything outside of that. 8:50 The people in the factory probably used the shaft to get from the floor-to-floor in the case that all the elevators were broken. 12:02 Your comment here about how deep they people that made the factory would need to go for geothermal power might explain why the factory is located at the pole. The Earth actually bulges out along the equator, so the surface level at the two poles are closest places above-ground to the core, disregarding valleys and craters. 12:56 I wonder how long the facility has been down there, stuck under the ice. Were people still here when it froze over, or did it freeze long after everyone there left (or died). 16:46 I wonder how much people might've been here at a given time while... whatever... this was for was still going on. I also wonder if the incinerator is supposed to be the Earth's core. Though unrealistic, it could be possible for something like a video game. 17:22 There is actually a puddle surrounding the bucket to show that it *isn't* containing all the water! Though realistically, it should be larger, it's a nice touch. 17:45 Is that a boiler room? Makes me wonder how big the facility is *under* the ice (like how far it stretches out). Even as much of the facility we've seen so far wouldn't need that much boilers that large. 19:19 Why has this part of the facility collapsed, but not the other parts exposed to the surface? Was this way in already discovered previously? And could the facility have been 'discovered' before, but because it's so big, they just haven't found the newly uncovered entrance yet, if this way in was discovered? Could other ways in have been found? 20:22 The frame here is just beautiful. Nothing else, I just wanted to point that out. 21:29 Why are there this much TVs here (raises my previous question about the amount of people here again), and, more importantly, why are some of them *still on?* 25:00 How much people might've been stuck down here? And for how long? 26:59 I just realized; who, *_or what_* turned the facility on? Was it a survivor of whatever happened? Some sort of automated system? An AI? 30:34 What if the levels span a larger area the further down you go? They'd have to reach a limit at some point. 36:06 What is it that the did it here? _Why_ did it require meat grinders? 42:54 With the size of the boilers and trash chute, and the number of TVs, you'd think that there'd either be another cafeteria or a larger one. 43:04 It feels like the lights are much brighter and illuminating in the kitchen, but that's probably just the size of the room; the light's don't to brighten up as much space. 45:05 The large shafts kind of give you a way to tell which floor you're on without directly giving you a number, as long as you remember which floor you accessed an above part on.

if you download the map and enable subtitle and go to the reactor and do the stuff you need to do the omni-cutter turns on an orange light which he comments at 1:02:10. and with that orange light there's something that tells you stuff about the facility and a good job on how your doing. at 1:04:49 or the room that goes down 70km the thing tells you about how the people who worked or the robotic arms that made it (i think robotic arms made it because of the rural where the giant room is)at the facility gone down 70km but the thing thinks there's still a whole new world down there. I didn't play for much longer and somehow the omni-cutter got stuck out of the map so I don't know if there's any more text that it says. this probably answers some of your questions.

[@Arsenic_v1]

on 21:29, if you enable the subtitles, the machine that speaks trough the omnicutter (named prism) tells you that the green area was for tourists, so they have a tv room, where they sell them, could also be a reference to free tvs

there is ment to be on screen text from the device but i guess its incompatible with vr, it would help with some lore and i recommend just trying to go around the map with it on pc to see what it says

[@NotBigSurprise]

ngl, this map is making me nostalgic for a project i started when i was like 13 lol but undoubtedly with much better execution

[@ArchonZach]

It would be cool if there was just another player running around the map messing with stuff to scare the librarian lol

[@ThaGodfadda]

Stumbled upon your videos and I love them! The way you narrate and the combination of the VR headset movement makes it feel like an IRL exploring video but even better since its a video game cause it almost guarantees something weird will happen. And the scares are naturally experienced rather than some pre made jumpscare, which is my kind of creepy.

3:45 Ah, yes, I’ve heard of this once before. I believe it’s called… a “menu”.

i like your half-joking connection to the black mesa designers, because not inly does it really fit in an aesthetic sense, but it also brings alot of things i to question. like why you are here, who brought you here, are they hiding something, who was camped out front, etc. but also why are you sent in alone? why didnt they send more people even if they didnt know how big the place was? you could be an unwitting participant in some sort of cover-up. maybe it wasnt always under a glacier, explaining the surface style architecture under so much ice. this could have been another site by the people behind black mesa, and when things went wrong, they buried it. this type of thing could be eluded to by the half-life 1 scientists who talk about fearing their science being revealed to the public. i think this map's lore is excellently designed so that you have to theorize about what happened here, which is sometimes a little frustrating but can also be a lot of fun.

[@hanknewman54]

well they did say in the description that a special team would be sent, so I guess you're either supposed to be playing with npcs or players lorewise also the lore was kinda explained by the creator in a QnA thread in the map page on Steam, I wish to not comment on it since I got kinda confused and I prefer not to spoil it anyway

[@ImBadAtNames2876]

yeah actually i just watched a video by a small channel playing the map with the creator where he talks about the actual lore kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKO5qKpufLSBr8k

[@hanknewman54]

@@ImBadAtNames2876 oh yes I watched that video too, I just talked about the steam one because I barely understood anything due to the audio glitches

[@TheDBPhantom]

Well I'm only a few minutes in but this map looks (and sounds) REALLY awesome so far. Your videos have been a crutch for me recently. Thank you for all the wonderful content!

[@NathanDavisVideos]

I have a feeling that Black Mesa might of had a hand in building or designing this facility. Perhaps maybe one of their other major projects they worked on before things went well... Array?

[@hanknewman54]

the creator explained some of the map's lore and it's creation in the map's QnA thread
