what if you add a Massive bolt that is two handed or a new catagory of items (examples are factory, mansion, mining like items) called "Research items" and there like resin or samples of creatures ect
heady finch
Those are either too complicated for me or not very creative. I was thinking of adding a "Large cog" to go with the Large axel, but I thought it would just look too similar. Literally just a large axel without the shaft, and a hole in the middle.
At least for the "Big nail", it's mentioned by Sigurd in the lore.
Otherwise I probably wouldn't have even done that scrap item, either. As it's literally just a big bolt but ever so slightly different
unborn cliff
i made small cog and just cog before, but you can use them
heady finch
It's alright. I'm actively trying to avoid copying scrap items that have already been done before
Just to respect the fact other people put time and effort into coming up with other ideas, then modeled them and implemented them.
I'll have a couple conflicting ones in my next update. The list has a few I noticed that are done by other creators. One example was the Frying Pan, which is included in Terra's Scrap. Though it shouldn't be an issue. I'm just trying to have fun modelling and making content <3
heady finch
I'm not gonna lie I'm not sure how to do this
I can't find any transparent dirty textures on google (to overlay onto my existing textures for dirt) and I also am not an artist so I can't make my own textures either
I don't own any exquisite softwares for editing photos or textures like photoshop
I could maybe try to find "dirtier" textures for cardboard?

But yeah vanilla scraps don't really have grime. Infact, they're relatively low detail, which im pretty sure is intended to separate them from environmental props, which are usually based on real life textures

Oh wait wow fuck

That's pretty clever

Does anyone know who the creator of this mod is, or has a link to their thread (if they have one?)
https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/debit_card_debit/UniqueItemSounds/
I want to talk to them about their sound design because I really like it and want to implement similar stuff for my scrap items, or possibly receive help from them with it.
I noticed in their most recent update they gave compatibility for some of Terra's Scrap
heady finch
Yeah <3
heady finch
I'm surprised learning they made it haha they've been talking in my thread here and there. I've really loved using that mod for the past few months because having different sounds for different items is just, you know, nice.
And now they're making furniture item sounds which I didn't even think of. That's genuinely awesome

Thank you so much, I would love either of these <3
I wouldn't be opposed to having help making them, or if you wanted to make some yourself that's alright. But I am very interested to learn how you go about making the sounds so learning the process for myself from you probably wouldn't be such a bad idea
regal crater
Yeah
regal crater
Yeah
winged tulip
I thought up turned adds new items
ornate flax
upturned variety is clientside
it does not add new items, just skinned variants of existing items
ornate flax
(some of which are renamed, but still internally identical to the original item)
regal crater
So damn
regal crater
I know
ornate flax
there is no way to automate turning a mod which adds brand new items into a mod which just reskins existing items
regal crater
Yeah
ornate flax
This mod does not change the texture of scrap it adds new scrap
technically changing models is not a hard barrier either
ornate flax
you can change everything about how an item looks and sounds on the client without issue, if you really want
ornate flax
you just cant change an item's actual properties without causing problems (new interactable behavior, changing weight will impact other items with the same weight, only host can change prices for everybody else, etc.)

That's alright. I'm just curious what kind of applications you use for sound design as well as how you go about recording the sounds for your items. Like, do you just use your phone microphone? Or do you have some sort of fancy external microphone to pickup detailed audio?

I just use a Blue Snowball microphone, had it for like 8 years at this point. it's nothing special (in fact, it's probably bad that i use a mono mic but i dont think it's a big deal)
and then i just use audacity to trim and overlay the audio i record
heady finch
Oh shit haha alright, that's honestly what I was thinking. I have a decent microphone I could use to record audio and audacity is free to use and I'm a little familiar with it. Thank you for sharing this with me
I'm going to try that out in an attempt to implement custom sounds for my next update
wet maple

Oh wow no this absolutely helps. Thank you for showing this to me as an example - I actually didn't realize the depth of which you go about layering sounds here. This is very clever and creative.
I'm sure this is common foley sound design knowledge, but this is foreign to me haha. So seeing this example definitely helps put into perspective how "layering" functions within the audio.
wet maple
i'm definitely no expert with this stuff, still relatively new to it and i bet there's plenty of better techniques i don't know about yet
if you'd like any more examples from other sounds i'd be happy to share those too 
heady finch
Alright, I'll inquire more about this later on, when I get to it.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate the assistance.

I'm getting a little ahead of myself here, but I do plan to model it after the town - or at least the surrounding area and have elements of it kind of mashed together to form a cool reimagining of a location from the town or something.
There's lots of memorable places there I grew up exploring that I could easily make a landing zone and add some shit around and make a neat scene.
But like I said I'm getting ahead of myself here.
I haven't gotten into moon creation yet, and Ridgetown wont be my first moon either. It'll be 99-Prospect, as I have more of a concrete idea for this moon than any of the other ones I have concepted on that list I sent.

have you thought about making any new songs for like eclipsed?
heady finch
have you thought about making any new songs for like eclipsed?
No
I think that is a little outside my expertise. I focus more on tangible melodic structures, where as the Eclipse Ambience is a more traditional horror stinger track - focusing on randomness, suspense, and tension with very little structure to define it melodically.
I haven't ever really made traditional "ambience" noise before. I focus more on music. Though it could be something I could experiment with in the future?
I do want to try making my own item sounds for my scrap mod - using foley techniques, which I guess comes close to creating something resembling the random ambiance of the Eclipsed weather
Haha I'm not very good at explaining I apologize. I just don't believe I'll ever do that because yeah it just doesn't allign really with anything I've ever tried before. Though that is a fun idea, I could maybe try it out in the future
It seems like Zeekerss isn't done making daytime ambient tracks for Lethal Company, though. So I'm not done either.

Oh, so do you think I could release more without it throwing off the balance of vanilla/modded music ratio?
idle gate
for sure
in vanilla and even with your mod it gets old hearign the same few tracks lol
tbh i feel like it needs to not always play the music
heady finch
I uh

making it more rare makes it feels better and more special
idle gate
that was a bug that was fixed in v81 or something

Play everyday
Thats really stupid
The ambient music is special because it only plays whenevrr it feels like it
Which in my case is not super often
And I love that
Because it makes it more memorable when one does play
I'm so sorry that it's playing every day for you :(
Maybe it's a bug or something? That's so strange. I had no idea that was happening
idle gate
it works best when its not common
heady finch
I almost wonder if one of the mods I installed makes it so the music doesn't play everyday
Because yeah I definitely do not hear the music every day in my experience
heady finch
it works best when its not common
No I agree
It kind of feels like it was meant for this sort of structure
heady finch

i have 1 fixes mod that has this in its things but i disabled it
but maybe its brokey? ill try disabling the mod entirely
heady finch
Oh, hmm.. maybe? You should try that out
I don't really have any mods that affect music or sounds or anything so it's weird we're having different experiences with the music, but it could be our mods
heady finch
Thank you <3 I'll definitely make more
idle gate
idk how possible this is but it would be cool if diffrent weathers had an ambient track

it's been like that since forever

I have over 1000 hours and this is the first time I have ever encountered this generation.
Holy shit
That's actually insane I've never encountered this before? Like, it's not even that I'm misremembering - I genuinely have not ever seen the apparatus in that corner of that tile.
I thought that might have been a v81 addition but that's crazy it's not
I've seen the two storage room tile variations but I've never seen this medium room variation of the apparatus. I just assumed it only could spawn in the one corner - which is rare. I don't usually ever encounter the apparatus in this tile to begin with.
whole jungle
i can check my v73 tile but afaik it could
heady finch
now that he made them play every day
Hey, I'm not sure if you've come to this conclusion yet or not, but I do believe that it is your modpack that is messing with the ambient tracks interval
I was playing for an hour or two this morning and I only had one ambient track play
And I was outside for 12:00 P.M. twice, which would register one of the tracks playing

Steam says 600 but it is definitely more due to modpack and moddev stuff and launching/playing/testing not through steam.
heady finch
Oh shit
Yeah so probably around the same playtime as me
That's crazy. That must mean it's really fucking rare
I almost want to look into the spawning probability of that generation
dusty tide
Make a mod to make the chance better
heady finch
It's not even like I don't see the facility interior a lot either. That's probably the interior I and everyone has the most experience in
@wet maple should have included this in your useless LC facts video haha. I wonder if it's not common knowledge to know of this generation, or if me and Luth are just incredibly unlucky
I mean them and Kenji knew about it so it can't be too niche
dusty tide
I'm looking forwards to a part II for that video
heady finch
Are they making one?
I've genuinely watched that first video all the way through two or three times now
dusty tide
Are they making one?
no clue. Swear they mentioned the idea at some point.
migh be misrembering
heady finch
I would love a sequal if they can find enough neat things to talk about
It brought to my attention quite a few different actually useful things.
Typing "Decor" into the terminal I use often. Having Beanie's furniture mod makes the shop a little crowded, especially since I have a mod that unlocks the whole decor shop selection, instead of it rotating per quota.
I don't think typing "Decor" is mentioned anywhere in the game, either? Which is the case for most facts in that video.
wet maple
<@1151383263504506910> should have included this in your useless LC facts video ...
i personally probably wouldn't use that apparatus generation as a fact but it is cool
wet maple
Are they making one?
in terms of a part 2, i was originally gonna try making it within a few weeks of the first one, then i kept getting sidetracked with random bullshit, wanted to wait until v80 came out, then even more sidetracks and i dont even know when i might properly start on it
ive been collecting more facts in a document over time though, i havent counted it in a while but i have around 100 separate things (maybe about 70 of which i'd consider "usable") so i definitely could do a part 2 when i feel like i want to
heady finch
Oh, that's nice. I didn't think that apparatus fact really fit anyway. I'm glad you have ideas brainstormed to put into a video already
That seems to be your most popular video so I think it would bring a lot of attention to your channel again if you made a follow-up
wet maple
but it'll probably be a while still because i have very inconsistent motivation with stuff and my interest in lethal has started to fade away a bit recently, along with other irl things i should be doing first
tl;dr i'm a fucking mess
heady finch
It's alright. I've been getting put off doing my mods lately to just do other stuff I've personally been more interested in lately.
I don't think it's a bad thing

Am really really curious about this now
That's genuinely boggling my mind that like
We all have barely ever seen this generation
I'm honestly really glad that I took a screenshot
Because if it's this rare then I'm happy to have documented it in some way
Multiple people with over a thousand hours, have only seen this apparatus placement once? Is that not strange to anyone else?
I just would like to know if this specific placement is coded differently?
Like
If it has a different RNG value or something than the other configuration?
wet maple
this reminds me i think the wiki page for apparatus still doesn't have an image of that generation because i couldn't find a seed of it with good enough conditions for the screenshot i wanted
heady finch
Oh shit
Fuck
I should have gotten the seed for that generation
I didn't realize at the time this was an oddity
wet maple
i think i might have a seed or two but just havent gone back to look at them yet
heady finch

If you have the time to, would you be able to copy those seeds and give them to me to check out?
