what

im not calling you bread

[summer inlet]

Hm

MODS!!! HES CALLING ME BREAD

[raven canyon]

YEAHHH

BREAD

And I want a bread of loaf, French fries, and some ketchup in the game on top of the store please c:

[stable nymph]

Crazy

[hot citrus]

Still waiting on some kind of feed back for sales.
One was for 2 ink trailers
One was for 5 trailers of refined blackstone..
(but i dont remember who i spoke to)

[loud walrus]

How is this related to the post..?

[hot citrus]

i posted here since i didnt remember where i was posted originally, feel free to delete 🤷🏼‍♂️

[distant tusk]

When I sell ores or materials I usually double the price of what the statistics tool says. Would be nice of there was plans for a statistics block that shows the stud length on a screen in game when a ore or block passes it

[white token]

What material in particular

[distant tusk]

Like when iron passes by it like a material laser it would say it's 7 studs long 2 studs high $700 cost ,then that could activate a filter conveyor when the right size passes by and you can sort your ores and material by size better

[white token]

You can kinda sort by size by having it go over a certain size gap and have an alignment conveyor to grab it

Price though I don’t think so

[distant tusk]

Right but the statistics tool is already in the game I think a block version of that that can get activated with logic would be very nice ypu could even sort by cost then not only length

[white token]

Yeah I’ve already said that a tool that could output the cash value of something would be very cool, if you knew the material then you could output the length/studs also

Also you could add it all together and get the total value of a truck load of wood or something

[distant tusk]

That would be so epic bc I do sort all my ores so I can sell them to people not the resources hub

[summer inlet]

It would be nice if you could use stat tool on a truck to tell the value in it like u can the crates Yk?

[white token]

You can sort by resource

[twilit dove]

Can anyone give me the new map

[elfin ivy]

[summer inlet]

MODS SPAM!!!

[white token]

no

[versed socket]

find it

[zenith cape]

Google

[ornate wave]

i have wanted this for so long..

#oak-news message I think this has definitely been needed as the ones currently do look a bit goofy however they’re still not accurate to real life

[cosmic stream]

This is what they look like irl and I think if hoofer followed more this guideline I think they would look even better

I’m a way they’re just like big pine trees

[zenith cape]

Make it generate like blue pines do is whar you’re saying?

But bigger

[atomic flower]

AAAAAA I NEED REBUILD MY TREE COLLECTION NOW!!!

[cosmic stream]

Yes

It would look a lot more accurate to real life

Tho the branches and leaves need a bit of a rework

Perhaps a bit thicker

[ripe creek]

Personally I think it should be one of the biggest trees

[cosmic stream]

Agreed

[ripe creek]

I believe it sells for very little so it should be atleast double the height

It'd be an amazing wood for framing buildings

[cosmic stream]

Exactly

Make it feel more like a redwood tree

[ripe creek]

Yeee

I want to feel like an ant compared to it

[cosmic stream]

Exactly

And make it take years to cut

[ripe creek]

Yahsss

Make it unusually heavy

A nice hard heavy wood

[cosmic stream]

Yes

[zenith cape]

I fully agree

[small nymph]

yes

[zenith cape]

Add a new area on top of the mountain on the side of the acid lands

Make it a redwood forest

With only redwood and the occasional blue pine

And deadwood

[cosmic stream]

Coal also spawns there with maybe some other new ore

Here are some minerals found on mountains that could be fun

This could also be connected to mikes mines somehow

Also maybe not next to the acid lands but rather to the right of Mikes Mines

On top

[ripe creek]

Yahhhsss

We need a waterfall and lake next to some nice redwood trees

[hidden compass]

i made a map part idea ik it doenst look like a oaklands map but like it would be cool if we have more places to go

[feral shale]

looks more like lt2

[hidden compass]

i made it my self

but like to give them a idea what they can do

[summer gull]

@ripe creek there's a whole new River and waterfall in caves coming to the game soon

[hidden compass]

how do u know that then

[feral shale]

@thin sun

[thin sun]

Yes

river

soon??

[summer gull]

@hidden compass because jak is making it and it was already accepted by the devs.

[burnt geyser]

There's a reply feature you can use instead of just pinging people

[summer gull]

Sorry. How do I do that? I don't see a way to just reply without that person knowing it's for them.

Also the person I replied to also pinged me I think. I don't get notifications from my discord for some reason. When I load it I just look for the gold color so I know if someone replied to me or message me.

[cosmic stream]

If you hover over the message you want to reply to there should be an arrow pointing left in the top right of the comment. Click that and type your message.

If on phone hold down on the message and prompt screen will pop up with one saying reply

[burnt geyser]

Replies also ping people, yes. Replying is just easier because people know which message in specific you're responding to as it shows it right above your message

[summer gull]

Oh OK cool. Discord has so many different features it's hard to track down and know what everything does and I haven't seen anything that says how all these little things work

[lean yarrow]

It'd be cool if there was more dense foliage, bushes, shrubs, tall grass, etc that could randomly generate for purely decorative purpose, it could be disabled or enabled in settings for anyone with performance problems

The game feels unnaturally clean so adding flora would be a neat addition

And actual wildlife like birds flying over or bats flying in caves would be cool

Anything to make the game seem more in depth and lively

[cosmic stream]

I second this ⬆️

[summer gull]

I have been thinking about this. Also pets that follow you might be cool

[stiff stratus]

please, add anything else just not pets

[summer gull]

Lol. Well that doesn't mean you have to have one. But I would like to have a husky in game. Would match my real one.

[pearl jackal]

can we get a actual live in game map on a painting or something?

[lean yarrow]

maybe not the standard simulator game esque pets but something like stardew valley would be cool

Like they only sit around your plot and dont do much

Maybe like walk around and sleep and if you want you could pet it

[tight marsh]

YES

[thin sun]

ideas for improvements for snow biome ?

[atomic flower]

1. Roads are ZIndex-fighting
2. Trees grow on road
3. River has no start
4. Lack of life
   What I want to see:
   Snow like rocks instead of trees
   Pine trees and spruice trees
   Rare frostbite trees, which will be insanely slippery, and look like dark ice. More processing - more slippery.
   That's my opinion on it.

[thin sun]

thanks

what are your feelings about the terrarain

[atomic flower]

Not counting lake it's ok

Can't say that it's "WOW SO GOOD", but also not "Worst thing ever". Smth in the middle of that two.

[thin sun]

yea nothing special

location of the biome doesnt make sense to me

[atomic flower]

Location transition is bad too. Beach which changes to snow

[thin sun]

yea

what do u think abt something like this

[atomic flower]

Good besides wavy point

It needs more randomness.

[summer gull]

It needs to be higher elevation. Would be better if it was up by the acid biome. You know that place that the road just drops off? I'll try to get a map and mark it. It should be up there. And it should have the river come out of the mountain somewhere and then they could make the frozen river turn back in to water at the end and go in to the ocean. That would fix the river that bugs everyone.

This is what I was thinking. Sorry for bad drawing. I did this on my phone.

Also would be cool to. If fishing is ever added to make it so we use dynamite to blow holes in the ice to fish. Or if fishing isn't happening then just make the river look like this with water spots. Because rivers don't freeze solid.

[lean yarrow]

Honestly it'd be great if it had more unique terrain like the desert area

And to be honest it really isnt as big as someone would expect

Lumber tycoon did pretty well with adding a huge mountain and large plains

It just doesnt seem as grand as the desert

[thin sun]

👍

[lean yarrow]

I feel like the ice rock formations could grow more like the grimestone in the acid lands

kinda like icicles

[summer gull]

Yes but each game is different. It all depends on how it's coded as well as every tree and rock can help lag the map. Remember we don't just have trees like lt2 we have rock nodes. And with the new river caves and new biomes we are getting bigger. If we thow every big change in quickly then we won't know if we hit that point that just brakes it all. But I am so excited about the new rivers and caves. This game is my stress relief.

[thin sun]

The actual shape of the ore shouldn't effect performance much at all

Still same amount of parts

[summer gull]

I think the rock is good but having icicles in the caves would be cool as well as ice stalagmites and stalactites

[lean yarrow]

i just wish the icestone formed differently

Its ice so like

it'd make sense

[summer gull]

Yes but what I was saying is lt2 has just trees and we have doubled that in to rock. In some places we have just as many trees as lt2 does.

[lean yarrow]

ehhh? i wouldnt say the rocks in general are wayy too overdetailed

Theyre just mainly one part with some occasional meshes on them

It's not that resource intensive, you could probably have 600 of the same rock formations with ore in the same spot and most devices wouldn't break a sweat

[cosmic stream]

Yes!!!! We need this badly!!! They would look so cool and fit perfectly

[cosmic stream]

Agreed I personally think a separate island would work the best

[cosmic stream]

Also perhaps a secret cave underneath the already existing one since a good chunk of the floor is ice. Being that it’s ice you could use bombs to blow open a hole in the ice to access it. There you could find some of the trees and stuff @atomic flower suggested

Or perhaps some new tool specifically designed for harvesting ice and new ores

[atomic flower]

NO NEW TOOLS, we have limit of items already, And I can't hold 10th tool...

[cosmic stream]

Yeah I just looked up what is used to cut ice and one of them is a saw so I think it would be cool if we used that instead of say an axe or pickaxe. Give it another use you know?

That would be if there was some new ore maybe packed ice or something

[atomic flower]

We need backpacks

With +10, 20, 30... slots

First one cost 100.000$

second 1.000.000$

Third 10.000.000$ and so on.

[craggy ivy]

i feel like it could use more shapes (basically small squares)

[summer gull]

@atomic flower hoofer was working on a backpack as well. He did tons of work on stuff. But thry are holding it to do a huge update. Bigger lifts, semi and trailers, new trucks, revamp of trees, hinted at a chainsaw with a live stream image. Oh worked on crates.

Oh and jaks new map add ons

[rose isle]

Things keep disappearing on my base

[summer gull]

happening to a lot of people I have had a few things go under the map but usually I just walk around if I notice something with the grabby grabber and I can grab it and pull it to the edge of the map and it comes out from under the ground one way you can check and see if stuff is under there is to make a seat place it upside down on the ground and you can actually look Underground and then sometimes grab it

[cosmic stream]

#oak-news message If the 3rd one is added I hope that maybe scrapping vehicles and tools could be added to the update which could be really cool, maybe allow us to get rusty metal (please add rusty metal I beg please)

[amber fulcrum]

Hoofer (@lehoofer)

I am curious to know which one of these you all would like to see come first! Feel free to vote for more than one. I plan on adding all of these in the end, but I want to know what people want first. This is planned to begin being worked on after the major QoL update I am working on.

• 🌳 Foraging for materials such as berries, fruits, beehives, and more.
• 🪸 Searching the ocean for new aquatic materials, like coral. Finding fish, making aquariums!
• 🪑 New machinery for processing materials. Create alloys, wooden furniture, and more. This would result in different materials having new balancing, likely lowering value for existing materials.
• ⚒️ More tools for utility purposes. An overhaul for the grabby grabbers, as well as the current dragging system. Overhauling the chisel.

oak-news · Jan 16, 2024, 11:48 PM

[hidden compass]

I think the first one is better because they first didn’t want to add fruits or even foraging

[drifting loom]

biome transition?

[hidden compass]

What

[lavish oar]

There are a few

Oh

I'm a tad bit late

[distant tusk]

A xp system would be cool of you chopped down trees or mined rocks you gained xp to show off ur levels or maybe even skill points on level up

[rose isle]

Yeah that would be pretty cool and the more you level up you get some money or a different currently

[lean yarrow]

I mean itd be neat if it was either like

XP system with no benefits but with a global leaderboard

or

XP system with mild benefits

[rose isle]

Yea

[cosmic stream]

Agreed could be used for stats such as chopping speed and strength

[hot citrus]

With Fungiodite, is there a chance we can get a green type? I have a thought on a build, it will look good with the purple fungiodite, but the green would make it more surreal

[devout sinew]

Would be great if cliffsides have layers of rock.

[obtuse vector]

Not sure if I'm supposed to post my suggestion here can someone tell me if that's allowed here

My suggestion for oaklands is cotton candy trees or pumpkin trees let me know if these trees sound good at all?

[atomic flower]

Halloween event only

[obtuse vector]

Ok thank you

[loud walrus]

Cotton candy trees could be neat for something like Easter

[obtuse vector]

@loud walrus that what I was thinking that's why I gave my suggestion on two event trees

[cosmic stream]

Agreed

[obtuse vector]

Here some tree suggestion I have found on Roblox

I have lots of ideas for oaklands but I don't want to get annoying with all of my suggestion so I'll save them for myself

[cosmic stream]

Those look great but don't really fit the game

But if you're suggesting trees should be a bit more detailed then I agree but only really with the leaves. Unless you're a redwood tree that needs to look more like the blue pine but bigger

[rose isle]

They should add a new limited thing like the Lego cactus and Lego trees but a different type of limited tree or ore

[cosmic stream]

On the topic of blue pine that needs a serious remodel the branches and leaves look a bit dinky

[cosmic stream]

They sort of did that

You were able to get those at some point but can't anymore

[rose isle]

Yeah

[obtuse vector]

Why did they take out Lego trees

Wish I was playing oaklands when they were available in game

I just started like 2 months ago so I'm still learning about oaklands and where things are and what secrets are on the map

[loud walrus]

Because it was limited, it will come back at 10m visits

[paper thicket]

Suggestion

Add a similar server event like meteor called earthquake

1- Earthquakes should have long time than meteor.
2- No new needed in earthquake instead it should have ores like lava slate with increase chance of rare metals found in it.
3- Earthquakes may happen only in few locations like Ice Biome in middle of that frozen river, in desert, possible in mushroom cave as well and in ocean.
4- Earthquakes may look like a small creak opened in ground, now too deep or wide, enough to jump inside and jump outside and able to fire 2 or 3 ores of lava slate or any other ore that might fit this server event.
5- Lastly, a small earthquake detection center inside mike mine near magma area where you can go ask when will be the next earthquake.

** That's all folks** if like the idea, give thumbs up 👍

[cosmic stream]

That reminds me meteors should have steam coming off of them for a period of time

And maybe some areas with lava or something to burn you

[paper thicket]

Yes, meteors rework would be great.

[gentle vale]

Pvp for meteor impact area

[lean yarrow]

honestly yeah the blue pine needs to change completely, it looks like that one carnivorous plant

[rose isle]

We need to get to 10M visits

[patent plover]

I second the higher elevation idea. Make the area much higher and just add a longer trail to get to it. The only other thing I would add is more special mineral nodes along the trail and biome until you get to the ice cave, then the nodes would be strictly the ice nodes with new ores incorporated. As of right now the ice nodes seem like they were very rushed and no thought was put into their development as a mineable resource. All the other nodes in the game have ores, why not the ice ones?

[summer gull]

It would be cool to do bone pieces in it. Like how they find bones and stuff in ice

[cosmic stream]

Agreed the biome feels very bland tbh

[cosmic stream]

Also agreed! Like fossils and stuff

Would also be cool if they had fossils in like big ice chunks just for aesthetic purposes. Would be kinda fun and add some life to the area

This is what I picture

[obtuse vector]

Suggestion for oaklands we need the 4 seasons winter spring summer and fall in game I think it would make the game more realistic

[cosmic stream]

We sort of do as events

[devout sinew]

We need more complicated textures

Like fleeted iron panels

And better doors

Doors with windows

[drifting loom]

and each season affects the price of resources, like summer increases the price of magma and winter decreases it

[devout sinew]

Wouldn’t it be the other way around

People need heat in winter and people need to cool down in summer

[cosmic stream]

Make the lanterns in Mikes Mines able to pass through

[loud walrus]

They are? They should be

[versed copper]

too much cake

[devout sinew]

Not enough cake

[cosmic stream]

I think this has been said before but I Mikes Mines seriously needs some work

Other then lava cave and button there really is no reason to go

So I think that every node type should be able to spawn in the cave while so it can be convenient however they wouldn't be as common as the already existing common nodes (like lightslate, beigeslate, and darkslate). On top of that crystals should be able to spawn in there as well like, for example, amethyst.

However it wouldn't be so easy to grab these new crystals as you would have to go through narrow and shaky pathways that of which can crumble and break if you go to fast or have to big of a load

In general there needs to be more of an incentive to go to the mines besides the button and lava cave.

[ornate wave]

let's see..

bigger rocks
bigger ores
ore to rock ratio has bigger favour to rock than ore
pirate ship spawn
darkslate higher spawn rate

[cosmic stream]

Your point?

None of that changes the fact that mikes mines is lacking in features and incentive to go. Dark slate is nice but is for lack of a better term niche. A majority of those ores are common. Pirate ship is a valid argument tho.

Still, I’ve never see anyone go there for making money other then lava cave.

Also even tho the nodes may be bigger you can still just find nodes on the surface and get just as much ore. And, like I said before, there would be more node variants like blueslate and smokeslate for example. Maybe even new ore nodes besides just crystals.

Mikes mines is inarguably lacking features and incentive.

Not really sure why you’re defending Mikes Mines

[ornate wave]

i like mike

[solar mountain]

🤔 I'm a newer player so it's hard to comment on some of the more technical, map, and late game aspects.

For me, I'd love to see some leveling / progression tweaks in regards to sanding and sanding vs bark.
Having early access to the saw really negates the need for the rusty and metal sander or visa versa depending on your playstyle
I'm not sure exactly how to fix this, but making one of these options a bit later game could help, having an on the go sander meant I just didn't return to my base and I probably will not until I have a better set up for my planker, I wasn't really interacting with my base at all for reasource purposes due to this as well.

[cosmic stream]

Mike is the real reason MatPat quit yt you still like Mike?

[ornate wave]

yes

matpat supported autismspeak

(aka a really abelsit stereotype boosting organisation)

[rose isle]

When are they adding the new stuff for 10am visits

[cosmic stream]

I had no idea about this which is pretty terrible

[devout sinew]

When you progress further into the game, you'll find that contraptions like drive through sanders speed up the money making process a lot.

[rough ivy]

there should be amethyst geodes in mikes mines

magma caves eruption event 😎

Das cool as hell

Would be a really cool merge

Alternatively could use random spots of grass and snow interchanged, mabye using some noise algorithms

[loud walrus]

We are not getting a volcano bruh
