Lakewood Generating Station

[viscid veldt]

a quick sharpie note

[willow nebula]

"prob a few decades"

[viscid veldt]

last thing to note, careful with names (i think roblox should be okay with just the word miguel

a long time ago i got warned because a fake decorative document paper i made for older version of las cherung ment to be like lying around a table had a fictional name that roblox thought i was doxxing 😭

but thats probs because i made a full fictional name with middle and lastname in the texture, so i think roblox is okay with first name or okay with any names now since that warn was like

3 years ago now lol

[willow nebula]

lmaooo

well considering the amount of images ive seen with the word miguel on them

[viscid veldt]

i also just wanted to say that because you did got issues with roblox moderation with some of your decals somehow

so incase if that happens again

most likely miguel lmfao

[willow nebula]

yeahhhh roblox does seem to have something against me with that...

[viscid veldt]

dont worry, ive often tripped roblox moderation many times for las cherung

for abritrary reasons lmfao

all relating to textures

[willow nebula]

roblox really is sensitive now aint it lol

i swear i cant even say "milk the cow" without being banned for a full day

and i know i cant because i DID get bbanned for a full day by saying that

[solid shard]

"do not allow water to come in contact with the device" and the entire facility is prone to flooding

[willow nebula]

lmao good to know someone caught that

[mild coyote]

my pc is lagging just loading these photos

[still owl]

bro

i didnt read the DO NOT at the top and I thought it was saying to let children play with the nuclear device

[solid shard]

i just noticed it says "read the manual for more info" under "do not"

ignorance is bliss

[viscid veldt]

LAVA HI

im so happy your seeing this thread, this deserve the attention it needs 🙏

[neat oak]

Epicc!

[neat oak]

Me misreading most formal documents be like:

[frosty coral]

I really hope you purposedully put "read the owners manual for more information" in the DO NOT: section. Quite fummy

[willow nebula]

redoing the PAPUS model and texture and while doing so i made a cool lil lid thingy!!

i should probabbly start on the rest of it

now that i think about it

[willow nebula]

tada!!!

planning for the little lid thingy on top to open up and have the bulb indicators pop up to show the charge level when equipped

amazingly enough i STILL havent modeled the actual handle yet and i just realized that ._.

[frosty coral]

Nice start

[fiery sedge]

That's beautiful

Personally I think the edge wear is a little overkill in some spots, but that depends on how old it is

[neat oak]

This looks good!
The place with the bulbs does look a bit strange with the amount of open space inside will they come up too?

But ye that looks awesome!

[neat oak]

What does the S stand for I must know the lore

[willow nebula]

ya imma add something in there to keep it from being so empty

[willow nebula]

accidentally capitalized the s and forgot the apostrophe

[willow nebula]

well it is just 8 years old soooo you do make a good point there…

I’ll reduce the edge wear

[fiery sedge]

Hmm that's not terrible for 8 years, though the paint would still go over some of the edges

Idk if that's do-able in substance though

[willow nebula]

ya it is

but i feel like itd be better to keep the edges like that cuz i dont want it to look completely cubic

the metal kinda makes it looks a bit rounder

(in a way)

[neat oak]

Very nice!

[neat oak]

🔥

[neat oak]

You could try bevelling them
It’s a good midpoint for rounded yet sharp edges

Though I’m not sure if it’d look good

I know Portal Stories: Mel’s portal gun uses bevels to round the edges slightly though

[viscid veldt]

if possible, im assuming your using nodes in blender

you can try to make a custom grungemap or find one online to make it where you can have edgewear on specific colors so that way there could be some areas that has the effect and other dont if that make sense

i havent touch blender nodes especially for texturing but maybe experiment with those values?

[fiery sedge]

Oh that's blender?

damn that's great

[willow nebula]

oop

im actually using substance painter

blender is odd to work with

[viscid veldt]

OH

wait how i didnt knew LOL

i think i had a false memory

if thats the case then the idea still applies

but insteads of nodes

you can use masks :)

to control where you want your edgewear to be

[willow nebula]

ooh alrighty then!!

[willow nebula]

did you know?

the Lakewood Generating Stations primary access shaft, Tesla-Curie, is over 3000 meters deep, with the deepest levels having been sealed in 2001 to make construction in the upper levels safer due to toxic gases. oddly enough, there are multiple access tunnels leading beyond the seal, seeming to be used often.

[neat oak]

Loreeeee
I wonder

Some things happening down there mayhaps

[willow nebula]

sure makes ya wonder how it is the corporation was able to research and test stuff so quickly now

doesnt it

[neat oak]

Truly truly

I may have a couple of theories and “ideas”

🔥

[willow nebula]

mucho mejor eh?
-# (spanish for soy milk latte, trust)

[simple meadow]

How it feels to commit corporate espionage

[willow nebula]

yippee i made custom planks n bricks

last time i tried makin some bricks was a week ago and the consequences of making em while sleep deprived is very noticeable 💀

[neat oak]

Yess!

[neat oak]

Tis was a worthy sacrifice for the custom texture library must grow

[willow nebula]

not only that but also a lesson

the lesson being

DO NOT MAKE TEXTURES WHILE SLEEP DEPRIVED

[neat oak]

🫡

[willow nebula]

time to wave buh bye to all em free pbr websites!!!

so far batch 1 of the textures ive made today

anddd an example for some of em

[tiny stag]

that ceiling texture looks like it would be more suited for the floor

also 1600s england part 2

[neat oak]

🔥

[neat oak]

Pretty nicee!

[neat oak]

Ye kind of agree I think the tiles have too much of a gap between them with the black lines
Maybe add filler between them like cement but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[neat oak]

https://tenor.com/view/london-gif-19304239

Raa me when embeds 😔

[brave forge]

what'd you use to make these, they're super good

[willow nebula]

good ol substance painter

[brave forge]

ic ic

noted

[viscid veldt]

this is super nice

[willow nebula]

thanks c:

[willow nebula]

did you know?

the Generating Station is completely self-dependant, having its own water purification plant, a garden, waste recycling plant, thermal power plant, etc. this means that when sealed, the Station can operate indefinitely! even without the reactor operating!
sure does get ya wonderin what they were trying to keep out… or in

[robust geyser]

spooky

[pliant chasm]

the power plant has its own power plant

[frosty coral]

Which itself has its own smaller power plant

[neat oak]

✅🔥

[tiny stag]

they were trying to keep the furries contained

[willow nebula]

throwback to when LRC had a protogen lab right under the lounge

[tiny stag]

a fucking what

[willow nebula]

yup ya read that correctly

[robust geyser]

what

[willow nebula]

very old version of lgs had a protogen lab

thats what

cant blame it on me

tho

!!!

[fiery sedge]

They found something down there, didn't they

3000 meters down and supposedly still being used

Despite seals

[willow nebula]

maybe 👀

[willow nebula]

mostly used to power rly critical systems like ventilation and supply a practically endless amount of steam to other systems that need it

[willow nebula]

another label!!!

[robust geyser]

what happens if i play beethoven's ninth symphony on the device?

[willow nebula]

you die!!!

[robust geyser]

i presume by being consumed by the black hole i formed

[willow nebula]

yes

[robust geyser]

👍

[neat oak]

But the true test is
Can it run Doom
-# and also can it play all 6562 frames of bad apple at 30 fps in a 6562 x 192 spritesheet counting to around 1.2mb of data

[willow nebula]

why do you know that off the top of your head

[cunning tinsel]

a

i found this game earlier on roblox and only now i find this lmao

game looks really good so far IMO

[willow nebula]

oh thanks!!

[cunning tinsel]

tbh, i love that the doors close during power outage, tho would be really cool if you could use like some emergency tool to temporarily open them to some extent

[willow nebula]

ya there will be!!

[cunning tinsel]

nice

[willow nebula]

this tool (the PAPU) will connect to a terminal on the door control panel to temporarily open the door during an outage

[cunning tinsel]

ahhhh niceee

(i was imagining soemthing like a carjack at first lmao)

[willow nebula]

lol that could also be a good idea

[robust geyser]

why

[willow nebula]

an old friend said itd be funny

[robust geyser]

ah ok

[willow nebula]

ya

[neat oak]

Bad Apple….
🔥

[tiny stag]

hold on didn't we play this with neutro in elestation last week

[cunning tinsel]

ye

you did

it actually how i found that game lol

[willow nebula]

yall we got yet another warning from roadblocks!!

for uploadin case

[viscid veldt]

okay that is, something to be note of

it is a bad idea to upload faces on roblox, regardles if its a notable figure
since i suppose it falls under PII (personal identifable information)

[willow nebula]

yeahhh… not my best idea but i really had no idea what image to put for the donation passes lol

[neat oak]

when will you be able to dev again 😔

[willow nebula]

eh it was just a warning lol

[neat oak]

👍
still cooking atm or taking a brake btw

[willow nebula]

you could say im cookin

my laptop is pleading for me to end its suffering

[viscid veldt]

nailed the fictional brand there

very vintage-esque

[neat oak]

honestly if you want I can set up my pc to work as a server so you can use it for cloud computing

[neat oak]

that do be looking peak though!!

[willow nebula]

oh nononono its fine

[willow nebula]

thanks!!

[neat oak]

oki if you say so! 🔥

[willow nebula]

ofcourse imma replace the old bulb inside and do some smaller tweaks later on but heres the remodeled light!!

old on the right and new on the left ofcourse

we also got ourselves a new company in the universe (this time not a subsidiary!!)

i should replace that bell 😅

[viscid veldt]

to be fair thats up to you, yeah the bell logo is a bit modern up close but from afar its hard to tell the difference

unless you want to keep it conistance or etc

[willow nebula]

yea no if i keep it like that its going to haunt me til my death

perfectionist struggles

[viscid veldt]

alrighty

[final musk]

boy why you so wide

[willow nebula]

it was crushed by the weight of the generating station

[tiny stag]

BIG BELL

bong

[violet dragon]

so peak

what modelling software are you using for this?

[neat oak]

Objectively correct assessment

[violet dragon]

thought you were using substance painter or something lo

[willow nebula]

oh you meant for texturing

ya im using substance painter

[neat oak]

Confusing 😔

[neat oak]

these are some peak reviews

[willow nebula]

ikr

[brave forge]

DAMN

I look away from this thread for like a week or so, and come back to see absolute COOKING

Very nice work still, very jealous at the level of detail on the lights

[neat oak]

hav Gio ded 😔

[willow nebula]

kinda

ill be back soon

[neat oak]

🫡

[willow nebula]

heyyall, unfortunately i think im gonna quit development for a while. ive been really tired recently and the ideas have been running extremely dry, with LGS development grinding to a halt. i need some time to refresh, and when im back, i can promise itll be better!!! cya!!!

[neat oak]

Ah ye no worries take the rest you need!
Just please don’t abandon this indefinitely it has come a long way and it would be quite a shame to have come this far 🙏
but ye understandable!

[brave forge]

Please take a break! I hope you come back with a new found direction/passion!

And yeah, please dont abandon it now 🙏

It's so good.

[viscid veldt]

take good care and rest well

[neat oak]

how are you doing so far

[willow nebula]

not so well

im tryna work on some small things around the game to regain some ambition but it really isnt working out

[viscid veldt]

i'm chiming in rq, careful.
You may probably be very burnt out if thats the case, for now if the feeling is still consistent, don't try to work on it
Unless you have someone else to rely to assist in development during your absence, otherwise still take a good rest

even if such rest may be more than you wished, some people need rest up to weeks or month if needed before they get their ambitions back

[willow nebula]

yeah i hear ya

i might need a lot more time

unfortunately i dont have anyone else to truly rely on to keep the game going so itll just be a long long pause ig

[viscid veldt]

yeah, again sorry if i sounded urgent there 💀
i just dont want to see other developer fall into a fate akin to my old project before las cherung, where i worked alone and refused to take break

especially if such project has great potentials

[neat oak]

And that’s completely fine don’t worry!
Take all the time you need - don’t work on things if you’re not up to it

[ebon hazel]

i can

just tell me what to do

i mean

im not a clone of u so

nvm u should just take break

[willow nebula]

ya otherwise imma keep trying to make changes myself lol

[willow nebula]

I might be back!!

this time with an actual plan, drawings, and references for how its gon go and i can assure yall its gonna be smooth sailing from here on out now

in the coming days imma be remodeling and texturing a whole lotta props that i need for decorating the actual station and because not having any props was one of the main reasons i was demotivated to work on the station so... yeah!!

[willow nebula]

small lore drop aswell
-# (yes ill improve the paper and the stupid lil table)

[simple meadow]

James Elliot eh?

murder drones reference?

[willow nebula]

wait i did NOT know they were a murder drones character 😭

[willow nebula]

also this isnt related to LGS but im makin 2 old games public for nostalgia’s sake, u can see em on my profile

-# theyre bad 😅

[brave forge]

Glad to see you return!

And very nice with the light work in the hallway.

[willow nebula]

thanks!

[willow nebula]

now ive been workin on some textures and usin that tunnel area thing to actually test em and they do look pretty good if i do say so myself! (the walls)

remade those lights too cuz i realized the last one looked uh...

chunky

still gotta texture em ofcourse

[violet dragon]

fire

[final musk]

custom materials?

look pretty nice

do u use substance painter or designer

[viscid veldt]

welcome back, and i absolutely impressed with your new textures

@misty jewel hey friend you need to see this :))

[misty jewel]

hello there

also dang thats a nice corridoor

[willow nebula]

thanksh

[willow nebula]

painterr

[final musk]

can you show me your ways? im still kind of new to making materials with substance painter

more specifically this

[regal hawk]

omg that rapidsend logo is too good

i love those tube systems

[willow nebula]

lol same

thought of the idea of including it in LGS when i saw em being used at costco to send stuff around

[willow nebula]

sure i could try helping tomorrow most likely!

[silk lynx]

Awesome work, keep going

[willow nebula]

thanksss

[willow nebula]

updated thumbnails, nothin too special

[cloud jacinth]

"Truly Radioactive" - Albert Einstein 🗣️

[willow nebula]

albert einstein plays core games confirmed

[viscid veldt]

i love this so much

[willow nebula]

thankies lol

[willow nebula]

working on another area for testin stuff, will most likely make it into the final build!!

i should fix the dof lol

[neat oak]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[neat oak]

^^^^^^
late to this but looks peak!

[violet dragon]

that is amazing

[neat oak]

the detailll!
so glad you're back!
and sorry I'm late to this I never go to the qs server unless it's the creators forum

[willow nebula]

its fine, no need to be sorry haha

[tough patio]

Very nice

[viscid veldt]

okay, i need to mention you a really nice tip for lamp particles

[willow nebula]

oh?

[viscid veldt]

increase the z offsets for the lens flare of the lamp or bloom to make them render on top of the model

this is how i made the lamps in las cherung possible

like, depending on the size of the model, 1 offset should be enough

without the model kinda being infront of the particle

i think a similar thing can be done with billboard gui too

[willow nebula]

oooh gotcha

ill try that later because im a bit busy rn

thanks!!

[viscid veldt]

yw

[willow nebula]

me when align dragged objects turns off for the 10th time in the last 5 minutes

[robust geyser]

it's roblox studio, what did you expect

[willow nebula]

now thats a damn fair point

[regal hawk]

do you have a server for this beauty?

[willow nebula]

nah, not right now atleast

im waiting til i have enough progress on development to open a server

[regal hawk]

okay, pls keep me updated for when u do

[tawny coyote]

cool game

[willow nebula]

thanks!

[tawny coyote]

Will there Be A reactor?

[willow nebula]

yup!!

it wont be as big as other games nor will it be as…

[tawny coyote]

What type like a reactor like acg or like QSERF

[willow nebula]

important

QSERF

but more industrial

n stuff

[tawny coyote]

Nice!

on a scale 1/10 how far are you done with the facility?

[willow nebula]

0.25/10 😅

[tawny coyote]

Dont worry, Projects take time.

take as much tiem as you need

[willow nebula]

thanks, and yeah,

it really is taking time

[tawny coyote]

you use substance painter?

[willow nebula]

yup!!

[tawny coyote]

you use blender/

[willow nebula]

👍

[tawny coyote]

do you like cats?

[willow nebula]

oop

well-

ya

ofcourse!!

[tawny coyote]

yay

i like cats too

i totally didnt steal my profile picture

from a creator

[willow nebula]

lol if u wanna talk more we could move to dms cuz i dont want everyone to get pinged every 10 seconds

[tawny coyote]

im fine cool game tho

[willow nebula]

thanksh

[willow nebula]

pipes (part 736377)

will add some pumps, valves (ofcourse), dials, and other stuff youd actually expect to find on pipes (along with actual signage for where each go to!!!!)

also gonna make em a bit larger*

[tawny coyote]

Nice Pipes!

[viscid veldt]

hold up i need to refer to tix rq for a full pipe review™️

[misty jewel]

hi yes pipe inspector™ here (i have a problem making pipes)
can confirm to be good quality pipes
am wondering about the far left one tho since the flange has no bolts
good pipes eitherway

[willow nebula]

but the flange does have bolt!!

cuz

pipe slide in

n like

bolts on side

ykyk

[neat oak]

Peak!

[simple meadow]

[willow nebula]

[willow nebula]

tried making a full song this time

[willow nebula]

changed a few things, should be better

[final musk]

what program do you use?

well, for the ost

[willow nebula]

fl studio

[willow nebula]

yummy vents

[viscid veldt]

these vents look great! but i want to add a suggestion that you may find helpful in substance painter

when making masks for edgewear (usually with the metal edgewear generator) inside that mask you can add another layer above it and add in a perlin noise and set the overlay to subtract

in this way you can make some areas have edgewears while other dont :)

this keeps it relatively a bit natural, and not "artifical" looking if you get what i mean

[willow nebula]

oh yeah i did do that, thing is i may have underdone it by quite a bit if it still looks unnatural 😅

now that i look further into it i REALLY underdid it

-# is underdid even a word

[viscid veldt]

yeeah, you can control the intensity of the perlin noise

and the size

to increase the overall masking for each areas

[willow nebula]

ooh alrighty then

will keep in mind for next time!!

(i really dont want to have to wait another 5 years for all the maps to load in ._.' )

thankss

[viscid veldt]

np

[sacred scroll]

@willow nebula this is amazing

you don't mind if I remove one of your tags to add the featured tag?

[willow nebula]

not at all!!

[sacred scroll]

which one

composition?

[willow nebula]

yeah that one

barely relates anyway lol

[sacred scroll]

You have been featured

stunning work

[willow nebula]

thanks!!

[sacred scroll]

[neat oak]

Happy for you!

That’s so peak

[brave forge]

[cunning tinsel]

congrats, this is actually incredible game tbh, i still love the effect of the doors sparking when they automatically close due to power loss

[willow nebula]

finally got a near finalized version of how sub-basement 1s architecture may look

imagine a highly industrial area where ventilation and electrical is routed through huge tunnels into the lower facility, kind of like the attic of a house

note: this is the first level underneath the basement, which is just below the surface

ofcourse the lighting and a few textures STILL needs a bit of tweaking but uhh

yeah

👍

one step forward instead of back for once

[true holly]

Are those stone and rusty metal textures yours?

[neat oak]

It just looks so peakkk

[willow nebula]

mhm!

[true holly]

Substance painter?

[willow nebula]

yup

[true holly]

You plan on releasing them to the public or are they only for your game?

[willow nebula]

im probably gonna only be using em for my games

[true holly]

aww, they're peak just know that

[cunning tinsel]

so the electric grid thing we see in current game wil be moved there?

[willow nebula]

yup! everything related to electrical will be moved to sb1

[cunning tinsel]

nice

[cunning tinsel]

also if i understand correctly grid switching will have a similar mechanic to infra generator synchronization?

[willow nebula]

mhm, you gotta have everything synced correctly to prevent the grid from shutting down for a few minutes when switching

[cunning tinsel]

nice

[cunning tinsel]

wait, since the game is more focused on gameplay, manual turbine synchronization perhaps?

(when reactor and turbines get added to the game, if the reactor even uses them)

[willow nebula]

yuh ive been considering to add that when the time comes

[cunning tinsel]

alr

[willow nebula]

i could probably add something to assist the player cuz ofcourse

[cunning tinsel]

yeahh

[willow nebula]

syncing 3 huge turbines with great accuracy is kinda hard

[cunning tinsel]

what about precision controls and estimated RPM with the steam valve? precision controls will allow to open/close the valve to such precision which will allow player to VERY slowly move the synchronization bar to the correct position before changing the precision controls back, RPM estimation is self explanatory

[willow nebula]

ooh that could be a possible option

not to mention itd let me add more meters dials and buttons

so ill consider it!

[cunning tinsel]

nice

[brave forge]

Gamer, share some cooking for the rest of us

really tho, you are amazing, please keep up the good work

[quiet zodiac]

mmm tri count

[willow nebula]

nuh uh

its surprisingly optimized

yall i should rly bring back this area

[quiet zodiac]

uh yes

[willow nebula]

flood door

new and improved

button soon™

should also mention its very optimized compared to the old door

(new on left old on right)

[quiet zodiac]

drinks your hydraulic fluid

[willow nebula]

😔

to cut costs we will refill the reservoir with water

[quiet zodiac]

ah yes

we are to poor for hydraulic fluid

so we use gasoline

do NOT hit the doors

they are very explosive

[willow nebula]

to prevent explosion you must become the explosion

https://tenor.com/view/feel-me-think-about-it-meme-gif-7715402

embed fail

[quiet zodiac]

mm yes

explodsive flood door

cant hold the water

because it just fucking explodes under high pressure

[willow nebula]

exactly

parkerco engineers are genius

[quiet zodiac]

dude

im just imagining a board meeting with the higher ups being like

hmm yes

we should use gasoline instead of hydraulic fluid

[willow nebula]

hydraulic fluid IS like

6x more expensive than gasoline

so logically it makes sense

[quiet zodiac]

epic

i can just vision a new maintence worker being hired and being like why the FUCK do we use gas instead hydraulic fluid

[willow nebula]

“cost cutting, my friend! the station wont provide if we dont cut corners!”

[neat oak]

😭

[solid shard]

beautiful as always

[willow nebula]

happy 4th of july fellow americans

[final musk]

will the station explode

[willow nebula]

yes

free fireworks show

minor radiation exposure expected

[final musk]

Im sure this indoors fireworks show near sensitive equipment / infrastructure is OSHA certified

[willow nebula]

…

maybe

[willow nebula]

yall i forgor to say development is gonna halt for the next 5 days cuz im goin on vacation

seeyall!!

[cunning tinsel]

wait, how hard would it be to make a flooding mechanic where rooms could be flooded and get that flood to other rooms if the door isn't closed? Ah and also, looks WAY better than the current one

[willow nebula]

oof… that would be hell to script

[cunning tinsel]

alr

hmmmm, then what about having like a small sector get flooded due to a pipe breach and automatically locked down forcing players to take a longer route from control room to safety and vice versa

[willow nebula]

ya i was thinking of trying something like that

but considering the progress i got rn its something i should keep on hold until the future

[cunning tinsel]

alr

[neat oak]

🫡
have a good vacation!

[willow nebula]

thanks!

[final musk]

just 5 days?

nonetheless enjoy your vacation

[quiet zodiac]

radiation forecast

[neat oak]

Trg moment

[willow nebula]

fact: i did manage to make the mini trains work a very long while ago (which i never told yall i think) however they were REALLY buggy so i never adopted them into the game

good news is i might bring the IDEA back as soon as i figure out how to make them work better

[frosty coral]

"Oh yes, there'll be minitrains!"

[neat oak]

I have spent a total of 1 hour 50 minutes looking for this but alas I found it

if you can get the minitrains to work instant 10/10 game by the way

[willow nebula]

mini minitrains! :3

[willow nebula]

i WILL get them to work somehow

[neat oak]

minitrains!!

[neat oak]

look look all I'm saying is if you do, it'd be absolute cinema

🔥

[neat oak]

you know what would be so cool
if you were able to make this a movement engine
aka you can stand on it and move along with it

not too hard to script but it would definitely add a lot to the experience being able to hop on and off like that, aswel as making it look nicer without a seat

[solid shard]

IS THAT AN INFRA REFERENCE??????

[willow nebula]

yes

[cunning tinsel]

ok one thing i can tell you to do is change the buttons to UI or keyboard controls, ClickDetectors get really unreliable at higher speeds, even the speed shown on this video already partially makes the buttons harder to use, same issue with proximity prompts BTW

[neat oak]

we love Infra here

[neat oak]

ye agree though

[willow nebula]

mark siltanen my beloved

[neat oak]

mark has gone through way too much for his pay 😭

[willow nebula]

frr

atleast he got a vacation

[neat oak]

truge

I can't rember end

maybe I hope
he deserves it

-# also lets not pay attention that 50% of the damages reported are also directly or indirectly caused by Mark

not because of him though

[willow nebula]

i mean

TECHNICALLY

they wouldve happened

mark simply uhh

sped it up a slight bit

[neat oak]

yeyeyeyeyeyye

you know relieved the stress

of waiting

[willow nebula]

exactly

[neat oak]

we should be thankful

[willow nebula]

stalburg was practically falling apart

[neat oak]

ye

and uh

lets not ignore the ||government conspiracy|| about ||the train in the bunker||

||corruption|| may have been a small factor aswel

perchance

honestly surprised that city still even ran before mark

it truly is just running on hopes and prayers

[willow nebula]

everything was caused by walter tho

evil ass man

[neat oak]

😔

the core of every problem in the end

double edged sword

[neat oak]

if you don't mind me asking what's the current issue with the minitrens
is it the following the track part?

[frosty coral]

Lakewood Generating Station? More like Infra Discussion Station

[willow nebula]

naw its the fact that they derail extremely often and are ofcourse not reliable

it took 6 tries to record that video successfully

[neat oak]

ahh I see

so wait

right now are the tracks physics based

[frosty coral]

I mean, technically thats a track following error

[willow nebula]

yup

[neat oak]

ahhhhhhhhhh

ok so I can't say anything about this I know nothing about the limitations of Roblox but is there a good way to just completely remove that variable

because even god knows the Roblox physics engine is anything but something to rely on

[neat oak]

I know nothing of Roblox
maybe something useful in here?

I'm trying to find the same system theme park tycoon 2 uses for coasters
or a way to get splines into Roblox by using a built in function and math™

[willow nebula]

i think i may have found a script that keeps the player moving with it…

ill test it later

thanks btw!!

[neat oak]

ah ye no that's pretty easy I think I made one a while ago that does that if you want it (no clue if it still works)

[neat oak]

good luck! praying for trains 🙏

[viscid veldt]

That is wonderful work ^^

[willow nebula]

thank u!!

[neat oak]

hll yes

I got no clue what it is

but it's gorgeous

well done!

[willow nebula]

the final version of the elevator platform for sb1 :D

[neat oak]

Yessss

[final musk]

does future lighting work for you right now? Mine looks like shadowmap in every place I visit

[willow nebula]

i have a friend who has the same issue and we suspect it may be the lower minimum requirement for studio being messed up

so far we havent been able to get it working for him 😕

[final musk]

I suspect its a Roblox bug

I tried updating graphics drivers, restarted studio (and pc), even opened a new file to verify

Nothing worked

[viscid veldt]

have you guys changed studio graphics level quality?

(kinda like changing the graphics level ingame, but in studio instead

[willow nebula]

we already tried everything we could in studio

[final musk]

Its always at Level 21 for me

[willow nebula]

it works fine for me despite my friend and i having really similar specs

so it seems random

[viscid veldt]

oh, huh

the only other thing i can think is if you change your lightings but i think you guys did that too, thats odd

[final musk]

My friend, who is on an older version of Studio doesnt have this problem I doubt it's about specs

[final musk]

I tried switching multiple times in the Properties tab yet in the Render stats it is locked at Voxel 👍

[viscid veldt]

huh, i never knew, ill probs ask my friend about it if roblox has some sort of restriction if the device is low ends

[final musk]

Thing is my pc was always able to fully render future lighting

just today it decided to do that

[willow nebula]

im checking the devforum rn and im seeing a few people having the same issue

[neat oak]

it could be the lack of support for RT for some gpus maybe?

I doubt that though since many gpus can still run it

[neat oak]

if Roblox Studio has like a config file try sending that and seeing if that resolves it

[final musk]

nvm we balling now

[frosty coral]

I can, my friend cant. Roblox studio lighting (and even in game) seems to be bugged on some version of both, only a few reports on devforum last time I looked though

[neat oak]

I mean try updating or downgrading Roblox Studio versions maybe so your friend is on the same version?

[frosty coral]

Friend was unable to update last time we checked so and then they went to sleep

[neat oak]

try uninstalling RS and getting a clean installation of the newest version

[frosty coral]

Well that depends how lazy the friend is - to be clear my version is the one that works
Well anyways we should probably stop chatting here about this

[neat oak]

yeye fair

just see if you can get an installation of the same version you're on

good luck hope your friend finds a fix!

[quiet zodiac]

i have and it hasnt done jack

like im at max graphics and this still looks like dog and even when i run a game in studio with future lighting it still gets stuck at voxel

it wont even let me do shadow map

[neat oak]

apologies but have you tried reinstalling

and if so did it work

[quiet zodiac]

i was just about to try that

[neat oak]

welp wish you luck then!

[quiet zodiac]

WAIT

roblox fixed the lighting issues

LETS FUCKING JOE

[willow nebula]

[neat oak]

without reinstalling? did you get an update or did it just randomly start working?

either way great to hear!

[quiet zodiac]

it just randomly started working again without having to reinstall

[neat oak]

odddd

happy it did though!

hav fun!

[frosty coral]

LightSettingsGuy (Roblox staff) or something like that on devforum said earlier today about a patch going out. Friends was also fixed a bit after that.

[neat oak]

So does RS just update patches without a new vers installation
Either way nice

[willow nebula]

yknow itd be quite nice if thats the case

[neat oak]

I mean this type of updating’s literally called patching

App just downloads it in the background and the next time the app starts it’s installed

Very convenient

Ah yes I rember

JEP Enterprises was originally founded as a small woodworking shop in west San Bernardino, California. Eventually, the company moved to a small, isolated town in Oregon, the town of Lakewood. From there, the company grew along with the city and pursued various industries, from science, to engineering, to manufacturing, etc.

[half vector]

hell yeah

lore drop 🔥

[willow nebula]

ive been writing some lore before beginning official development so if theres any questions i can answer em!!

[knotty dirge]

Hello, Gio.

I have explored this thread for a little bit, nice work! I hope that you’ll keep up with your game development. I don’t have any lore questions but I have questions about yours labels that you put on your models, which software you were making to make these?

[willow nebula]

hiiii

ive been using

of all things

CANNVVVAAAA

[knotty dirge]

Ah, canva, I remember using that before! I didn’t really like the functionality so I switched to Figma

But those frames looks kind of cool

I might create my thread there really soon

[final musk]

its fantastic

[neat oak]

our newest technological innovation; the 360 degree all around independently controlled-bladed fan

[neat oak]

I agree we should keep this in the game

[willow nebula]

Did you know?

The Lakewood Generating Station was built in less than 4 years, with the combined workforce of over 30,000 construction workers. Construction began on July 7, 1997, and ended on September 2, 2000. The Station eventually came online by December 17, 2000, just in time to end the western energy crisis.

[cunning tinsel]

damn

im scared to imagine how much money was spent into that

the faster the construction the more expensive it is

[final musk]

I want to think not as much as you think, there were totally some cut corners made during construction to reduce cost and get the station out as soon as possible

@willow nebula can you fact check this

[neat oak]

100%

[willow nebula]

actually, it wasnt THAT much rly!! JEPE moved the station underground following a series of violent protests across lakewood against the reconstruction of the Station. in turn, this significantly lowered construction cost and time due to them being able to source most of the material for concrete and bricks directly from the construction site, resulting in the “bricky” design of the Station. still though, it was REALLY expensive, nearly driving the company into bankruptcy with a 20 billion dollar construction cost, around 38 billion dollars today. JEPE was never responsible for the flaws, nor did they cut corners.

i can answer some more questions if youd like

[willow nebula]

Did you know?

The Lakewood Generating Station’s underground section, despite its enormous size compared to the rest of the Station, only had a maximum of around 200 employees onsite at all times. Most of these employees were a part of the Engineering Department, whose sole task were to maintain the delicate pipework, machinery, and infrastructure stretching miles deep under the vast building. Without them, the Station’s beating heart would halt forever.

[final musk]

Does JEPE stand for anything?

[willow nebula]

its short for JEP enterprises

which the founder, james elliot parker, named after himself

[half vector]

stupendous lore gio i love it

gives me inspiration to continue some lore writing of my own 😭

[willow nebula]

thanks!!

[willow nebula]

Did you know?

In an effort to bring the company out of bankruptcy, James Elliot Parker quickly invested into building large scale factories in the Station. This proved to be successful as JEPE were able to develop their own products to sell commercially, and quickly earn back their money. This also led to Parker opening another company, the Lakewood Manufacturing Corporation. By producing these products directly at the station, they could harness the massive amounts of steam produced by the Station to power machinery and keep the cycle running.

essentially meaning the Station is not just a power plant but a stupidly massive building that does a whole lotta other things

which wasnt the intention of JEPE at first but hey

it all worked out in the end

maybe 👀

[willow nebula]

Did you lor ?

After the collapse of the Station, evacuations were severely delayed due to the danger of severe earthquakes, sometimes ranging up to magnitude 7 as the stations foundations settled into the crust. Finally, 6 days after the initial evacuation order, on November 9th, 2011, the foundations gave way, and the once mighty building came plummeting into the void.

[solid shard]

boom shakalaka

[willow nebula]

Did you know?

The Station’s supercomputing system, GUARDIAN, is responsible for managing over 80 percent of critical systems all over the Station. These include Climate Control, Water Distribution, Supply Handling, and many others. A separate network, the Guardian Defense System, monitors the Station and provides extensive reports regarding everyday activity around the building through information provided by thousands of sensors across the Station.

Did you know?

The Stations central reactor, the Peyton Reactor, technically named the Neutron Bombarded Accelerated Fission Reactor GEN. 3, was invented by Dr. James Parker with the help of his longtime colleague, Dr. Eleanor Peyton. Unfortuntely, Peyton died before the reactor could ever be officially ignited after an explosion from an unstable fuel cell at the Station’s sister location, the JEP atomic testing facility, commonly known as Station-00.

[thorny sierra]

question is this like a alternative 2011 or its it our 2011

[willow nebula]

our 2011 but a bit modified

the world, after denying nuclear energy out of fear, is in a global energy crisis and the Station is one of the first and largest nuclear power stations built in ages

its construction and seen benefits started a movement to further expand nuclear infrastructure and pull the world out of crisis

[thorny sierra]

alright

[willow nebula]

by 2011, the station has faded into obscurity and disrepair, not one person remembering the great symbol it once represented.

[thorny sierra]

i like the way the lore is heading

nice

[willow nebula]

thanks!!

[viscid veldt]

i believe the word you are looking for is perhaps alternative history / timeline?

[willow nebula]

ya lol

[brave forge]

interesting lore idea there, reminds me of a story I started writing 2 or so years ago that had smth similar to that

u however seem to have it figured out better than I did

[willow nebula]

trial and error is what it took 🫡

thanks tho!

im tryna get the lore to line up JUSTTTT right with how the station is gonna be styled

[brave forge]

In my case I think its easier to make the lore then have the build fight with the lore

but it does also mean if u want to change smth, u have to change more

[brave forge]

fit*

my spelling today 🥀

[willow nebula]

real

but yea i used to do that too

didnt work out very well as you can tell

(the fact that ive rebuilt the entire game 4 times)

[brave forge]

ngl, even the past versions and pics were still good

i think some things u probs couldve kept and just adjusted

[willow nebula]

thats actually what im doin rn!!

[brave forge]

oh?

thats good

[willow nebula]

im tryna pull the best bits from the past and rebuild them with new assets and ofcourse better quality

[brave forge]

cause i remember when i first found this thread i saw some older bits that were really good

so glad to hear ur revisiting them

[willow nebula]

yup!!

oh man

one i miss myself was the old reactor operations cavern

[brave forge]

speaking of quality, the overall quality change ive noticed throughout this thread is insane, ur doing REALLY good

[willow nebula]

oh thanks!!

i try my best

[brave forge]

Reacops caverns are always interesting in my book, some choose the really big and just vast, some choose the tight but super detailed

[viscid veldt]

its really fun to remake old assets and stuff
(im trying to think what to say to contribute to this convo lmao)

[brave forge]

it is quite fun to redo old stuff after a long time

[willow nebula]

real 😭 (last part)

[brave forge]

shows ur improvement

[willow nebula]

tight but detailed spaces is my thing i must say

i find it weird when i see core games n projects that just have huge open caverns with random buildings scattered around along walls

[viscid veldt]

oof

[brave forge]

yeah, i saw that one area with all the pipes and then the guy sleeping on the board on the ceiling

insane detailing

[willow nebula]

cough cough qserf cough cough
-# no disrespect

[brave forge]

lol

old qserf was worse

[willow nebula]

i think your stuff looks rly good even with vast spaces

[viscid veldt]

what i am making rn is like, that on steroids 😭

now i finalized my idea for good

though i have a excuse
no regulations, fill up as much space as possible

[brave forge]

i havent touched studio in like a month 🥀
its actually why i look at these threads, trying to give me that creative push I need to start going again

[brave forge]

claustrophobia%?

[willow nebula]

real

[willow nebula]

which is what makes ur builds nice

you know how to fill space rly well

a key element with industrial areas

!!

[viscid veldt]

true

[willow nebula]

proud of this 🤌🤌

ALSO

i should mentjon

ive been experimenting with the idea of syncing gameplay with the ingame soundtrack

for example during startups or certain tasks music would play in the background and move with the pace that you do things

essentially a dynamic soundtrack

[brave forge]

am i about to be sent to hell
the start is SO GOOD AND MENANCING SOUNDING

[willow nebula]

naw even better

youre gonna get blasted with a wave of lethal xrays

[neat oak]

If you can pull that off that would be peak!

Never seen a Roblox game to that before

I guess it’s just as simple as playing 4 variations of an ost playing at the same time in the background but having 3 of them muted?

[viscid veldt]

You could totally look into Cosmic Science Aradna Generation Complex for how they handled their music plays throughout the game!

Where specific zones play music akin to sequences seen in Portal 2 and whatnot

[willow nebula]

ooo ill check that out then!!

[nocturne island]

that sounds really heat
quite novel, i haven't seen many roblox sci-fi games use this

[willow nebula]

did you know?

the collapse of the station lasted 5 entire minutes. it took 5 minutes for every floor to come crashing down into eachother, one by one. many caverns were spared, serving as refuges for those who miraculously survived the blast and eventual collapse, now awaiting rescue from those above. the deepest pits remain intact to this day, completely cut off from the rest of the world… right?

the Station has over 15 miles of overhead track that transports items (sometimes people) using carts that ride the singular rail. the system also has various highways around the Station, allowing for quicker transport times at speeds exceeding 80 miles per hour.

Imagine having the station slowly crumbling all around while you’re in or on a railcart going through cavities caverns and tunnels

Did you know?

The original site of the station still exists to this day! After the collapse, JEP quickly stepped up to control the spread of fallout, and built a perimeter wall surrounding the entire county of Lakewood, known as the Lakewood County Exclusion Barrier. Many thought the barrier was too much, as it compared to the height of a 5 story building, and featured various security checkpoints to cross. However, the plan worked as contamination was kept within the county, and nowadays, is at such a safe level that JEP regularly allows tours of the original blast site.

keep in mind they also made various attempts to seal the station off from the surface, however, blueprints and maps were lost to the blast and the vast size of the Station made it impossible to trace all exits and entrances.

basically they screwed up but did enough to prevent their screw up from turning into a fuck up

this was a long one 😮‍💨

[nocturne island]

not currently however this was the last design for the reactor

[brave forge]

Tiny reactor, just noticed the scale compared to the dummy

[willow nebula]

ya

im planning for the current vessel to be 2x the size of that one

the reason why its so small too is because the vessel is simply

well

a vessel to hold fuel and carry out the actual production of power

the accelerator units do the heavy lifting by actually getting the fuel to do its thing

id say its good enough

[bright kettle]

~~ i never fail, i never send anything in the wrong place ~~

[neat oak]

This shall make a fine addition to the Lakewood lore, we appreciate your generosity

[neat oak]

If it looks good for an area you’re working on give it a facelift for sure

[brave forge]

in that case id say keep it and maybe just slightly adapt it to fit wherever you are putting it

[willow nebula]

i see then

well then

that means im gonna be starting from the surface and working my way down :D

[brave forge]

That's how i'm doing mine, it also allows for you to have built up a sort of "central idea" that way

[willow nebula]

Did you know?

The Guardian Management System is a learning system, designed to learn and improve its own decisions based on what it “sees” on a day to day basis. It was also designed with safeguards to avoid it from abusing its high control over the Station. It can request higher processing for certain tasks based on certain conditions, and can start up the Guardian Defense System if the situation requires so. The Guardian Defense System has control over higher systems, such as flood doors, locks, alarms, etc. Finally, the GDS also has access to full processing, allowing it to carry out more complex tasks. Usually, GDS is never online.

[brave forge]

[cunning tinsel]

let me guess: GDS was turned on during meltdown?

[willow nebula]

coorrrrect

[cunning tinsel]

lol

[cunning tinsel]

BTW

how hot can it get on the station?

seeing all those fans with flames behind them in the current game

[willow nebula]

elaborate? 😅

[cunning tinsel]

misstype, i meant how hot

and if not flames what is that neon yellow behind the fans?

[willow nebula]

well the Station is actually a REALLY cold building

[cunning tinsel]

huh

[willow nebula]

the caverns and rivers running through the facility create a really effective natural cooling effect

the fans are a part of the stations vast thermal management network

some help cool boilers, furnaces, machinery, etc

[cunning tinsel]

nice

[final musk]

In what circumstances would the facility become one oversized sauna?

[cunning tinsel]

probably if some collapse blocked off rivers or something

[willow nebula]

and if theres a power outage

[final musk]

Can I get a tan in that scenario?

[willow nebula]

theres artificial circulation (f a n s) added to the caverns to exploit that cooling effect

no power no fans no cooling

then ur cooked

literally

yup it turns out they had some bugs or something??

also i got some progress in on the rebuild of the main building

yes those are tf2 soldier statues i dont have any statue models ready yet 😭

it IS just a 14 year old building after all lol

[viscid veldt]

think you could do another recomparison with the sunlight shining on both pics?

since its hard for me to see when one of them is in the shadows

[willow nebula]

mhm!

they both look pretty much the exact same now that the other doesnt have damage anymore- 😭

ok actually maybe it needs a little

[willow nebula]

gosh how i wish emissive maps came back

😔

[bright kettle]

What emissive maps are ?

[final musk]

make stuff glow basically

[viscid veldt]

Seperate mapping channel that allows you to dictate part of your texture to "glow"

Great for lamps, illuminated windows, or other miscellanous things

[viscid veldt]

I believe it will come back eventually once they patch whatever bug that prompted them to reverse the update

[final musk]

They were meant to (allegedly) re-release last week

At an early age in the JEPE company, they parted their own ways after a terrble argument, with Roy starting a construction company and James pursuing his work on the LGS project and growing the JEPE company. Soon, however, this small construction company grew into the nationally recognized Liftstar Industries. James and Roy later made amends and made a deal that would benefit both sides immensely. However, the deal was kept behind closed doors, with not a single soul but them knowing the details of their collaboration. In the end, their decision to come together once again made building the Generating Station a more possible feat.

my best idea is adding a billboard UI and a very bright image of a light flare

[turbid thunder]

you can enable the flags and get emissive maps back

flags?

[neat oak]

no clue but flags are like modifiers
things like
run Discord.exe -i -a --disable gpu
(the dashes are flags)
maybe Roblox Studio has something similar?
