#Upgrade the Snow biome
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
Me and my friends thought the snow biome was too plain and boring, it needs more content as no one visits the biome at it's current state. We have modeled a few items and added some more stuff like a new axe, a new counterpart to pine (enip), a new entrance to the snow biome which removes the sand that is between plains and current snow biome, a secret cave with a new quest to get the new "Frostbite Axe"(counterpart to the emberbane axe with half the swing time and 1.5x more axe power than the emberbane axe but it does not cut 2 times.), which requires one log of the new wood Enip, one ICE core and a refined axe (Snow wood will now be sanded into a snow like material instead of ice and iceslate will now instead be the only thing containg the ice material. Iceslate will be obtained by entering the ice cave which you now enter by exploding a wall like most other entrances in the game. Blue pines will now also appear in the snow biome but they will be larger than the current ones, the snow trees will now appear in a much smaller quantity making it a bit more difficult to obtain.
The new frostbite axe will be obtained by exploding a crack located deep in the ice cave and it requires atleast one large bomb from the pirate merchant as normal ones will not affect the thick ice. An NPC will be down there with 3 different "ice" pedestals in front of him, by placing Enip on the 1st one, an ice core on the 2nd one and a refined ace on the 3rd one they will merge into the new axe. The new ice core will be obtained by placing a meteor core in a certain lake and letting in sit their for about a minute until it turns into a cyan like colour. The wood Enip will be located on top of a mountain, and if you want to go get it you will need to follow a trail with many obstacles, and we were also thinking of a slide all the way down to plains where you can place the wood if you wanna get it down quickly as a fun addition to the biome (Maybe a bad idea tho).
Me, @simple zenith and @glad finch build this all together. Ice core model made by @burnt scarab. Frostbite axe has 2 versions, 1 made by @burnt scarab and 1 made by @glad finch .
Here are some more pictures of the progress:
Is epic
The crack in ice
"Quest cave"
An obstacle for the entrance of the snow/ice cave
Entrance to the snow biome
The small lake where you convert meteor core to ice core
The frostbite axe, (might come more pictures bc this axe got so much detail)
this is cool
i was having trouble with adjusting the thiner outerlayer of the axe part so you might notice some parts of the layer beneath sticking out
besides that i think it ended up being pretty decent
though it is quite rough in some areas
Devs check this out @fair stirrup
@royal spade Sry for ping but what do you think?
^
Its a concept
W
😭 sorry but im gonna be honest here, looks pretty bland though with proper execution this could actually be a very neat thing
Yes
needs more time and work but i reckon itll be awesome when that is done
snow biome is REALLY bland and out of place in its current state
Ye we will try
mhm good idea then
Thx
hoofer said in one of theofficialbricks videos, that they were working on the snow biome
do not believe what you hear until you actually see it ingame, no high hopes = no disappointment when itll or wont be a thing 
Fair
W concept
Thx
Very neat
A small update to the quest cave, more updates on it tmrw
Snow biome needs some upgrades for sure
bump
Yess!!! This already looks miles better compared to the previous images you posted. Awesome suggestion!
Yayy, thx
i can help if you wnt
🔥
Love the progress, i would suggest making more angled cave walls so it isnt just all square boxes if you understand what i mean
Oh yeah
and maybe add a plank next to the other planks so you could potentially drive a sellner on it
The planks will be placed by players but it would work
These models arent rly built in rblx studio but we would like some help for sure
i have some decent modelling skills, i can model the axe and the ice core if you'd like
Revamped axe progress
If you could model the ice core that would be amazing :D!
you have a sketch for it?
Not yet, but i would imagine it looking like a meteor core but with some sharp edges and some nice texture, i could make a sketch if u want
Would be a bad quality sketch tho
Looks absolutely 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
dayum
Nice!!!
sick
🔥🔥🔥
Woah, that looks absolutely amazing
thank you
i didn't do any code, its just beams
i can't code
just decent
cool
thx :D!
there
:D
Any idea on how to make these 2 better?
bump
I'd say change the lake for converting cores
Make it something that can kill you like the mushrooms for the infused core
What would that be?
Sry but i don't think we should have the same process for the ice core
Possibly
but that means the lake's gotta be in a closed space
I guess, maybe it could be a tunnel like cave that leads to the outside where the lake would be
hmm a giant igloo maze with a moving lake?
How would the lake move?
move as in there could be certain spawn points around the maze and the lake would switch positions everyday
Could work
bump
bump
this is beautiful
KEWL
Anyone got suggestions of something to add, working on a cave leading to the icecore lake rn, but any ideas could help cause we ran out of them
bump
bump
bump
@humble gust I have some ideas
Oh alr, what are the ideas?
The brilliant three - grow 1.5 hour from the server start | grows in the snow maze (I don't have desing) | grows only ones and costs 4000 dollars/stud |DON'T SPAWNS IN THE VIP SERVERS
Would be a fun addition to add
Full grown tree is 140 studs
Alr
I think if all ideas will be added snow biom will be best place
Ice core cave and ice core lake/shrine now put together, (Ice shrine affects surrounding rocks to freeze)
nice
bump
Ngl this would be fire I think jak should do this after they done the magma cave revamp
Yay
Just putting it in a pond is the same as combined coil process though
There should be something different for ice core
Shush u get the burned skull the same way put it in lava only makes sense if the ember needs something u obtain that way then the frostbite axe would need the same
First of all no need to be rude
Second
I am sorry if I came out as rude
Exactly? There's 2 things which are just putting items in areas
Make ice core something different
Like putting it in a ice machine and filling it with ice ore until it becomes ice core
That would be cool
And it randomises the amount between 10 and 100 or something
But make ice ore not too hard to get so it's fun
ye
What do u guys think abt adding like ice cream too? Like an cool just extra thing like the moldy hotdog.
It could give a buff maybe
or maybe its like you can collect it just as cheese with there being rare colors etc
Yeahhh
Ice store with the ice items 🗣🗣🗣
Would be cool, people flexing with a neon ice cream
And we could get snowmobiles
mayb
My idea is almost Similar to @fluid knot idea. A tree that would be very hard to get but sells for a lot it is a big tree max studs 180 it will sell $500 per stud to get it you will have to do a certain quest but the quest is to get the only axe that can cut it which is the mixed axe you have to get emberbane axe and frostbite axe and you have to go to the top of a mountain and place one and then the other on the other mountain and you get the axe it is 2x stronger than emberbane on all trees and I don’t know what the name of the tree should be called
Good work
Oh alr, sounds cool, the new axe could be like an elemental axe that would be very OP, and idk where the tree would spawn but maybe it could have like 5 diffirent spawn points
What about stats?
Idk, but double hit and fast swing speed could maybe be included
Upgraded these two builds
PLEASE
I NEED ICE CREAM
LIKE REALLY NEED IT
Yea sure lol

@burnt scarab Hello you think you could maybe model Enip wood, i tried but failed badly😭 , heres the picture so you could maybe get where i'm going at
is that inverted of blue pine?
the color should be inverted also, it'll be red version
Oh ye
oaklands logs are nonagons, 9 sides
the texture is the same as blue pine, it'll look like redwood/maple but the form is bluepine
yea
Yesss!!! Its looking even better now!
thx :D!
this is super pro
Cool idea
Me when a biome can’t be just a biome and needs some crazy lore attached to it
L
Really cool suggestion tho
uh
no?
they're octagons
8 sides
better
Nuh uh
mhm
oh
bump
even more bump
Imma post everything we have built so far, @simple zenith , @glad finch .
Quest cave:
Ice core cave and ice core lake/shrine:
Entrance to the snow biome:
Obstacle on the way to ice cave:
Frostbite axe (getting a revamp):
Proggress on revamped axe:
Ice core (Made by @burnt scarab ):
i can try model the axe
If you want to, otherwise @glad finch is already doin it
I can post both of the versions
Looks nicey
🔥
i think it looks better longer
Looks fantastico
looks much better
Totally fire
Ayyyy, love the icicles on the axe! Totally fire
how many tris is it?
2,883
not ideal. Oaklands tools are at max 700
see if you can simplify some things
@burnt scarab You can make the bottom part of the axe simpler, that will decrease it a bit
The cool icy part
It still looks amazing, straight 🔥🔥🔥
looks good
I have my own troubles with reducing the poly count for the UP remodel
well, aylien does
How many parts does the bottom ice part take up?
what?
Tris*
how many tris is in the bottom part
Maybe devs can make an exeption? Otherwise it still looks great
Yeah but so the icy part could be included
make it simpler
Yeah, but it looks great anyways
🔥
Woah, that one looks cool
this looks perfect, it looks like it's carved
Yeah
when they're active
Alright
the models are horrible but the idea is great
i dont think im the only one who said that
I think the model for the axe is great tho
yes
What's wrong with the rest of the models? Sure they are simple but they’re still okay
😭
i just dont like the blue 
not when it's thick
yeah
but it becomes white i think
and yes white for ice doesnt fit in roblox
nothing wrong with the color, it's just there's so much blue, it looks wide and empty
yeah
yeah it does
Ig, so what should be changed? The shape of the cave?
@humble gust i can help in the building if you want
I build these models in a Roblox game😬
some stuffs doesn't need to be perfect like the pedestal
Ig, if you wanna help me, I build it in obby creator
you built allat in obby creator???

idk, haven't played obby creator
but it's easier in studio
damn
Can you build in co-op?
in studio?
Ye
i sent fr
Alr, so we will build everything in obby creator or studio?
i'm more used to studio
later, it's 4am here and i'm sleepy
Alright, tmrw?
yeah
👍
stop complaining🤓 👆
no
How abt we make the caves lees blocky and add diffirent shades of ice?
perfect
👍

🧙♂️
honestly this doesn't look like what I'd expect an "ice core" to look like, not to say it looks bad, it just looks more like something you'd expect to find in the abandoned lab.
You talking abt the triangles?
yea it looks less like an ice core and more like a contained energy core lol
Well, if you imagine there only being no triangles it looks great tho right?
Not completed but is this what you mean by "less blocky"?
Though @burnt scarabs axe model is both much better and more optimised i still thought id post the finished product
🔥
i aint reading allat
Only read it if you want to know all the ideas we have in mind
ok
this color scheme is like more
make it frozen in ice, as decoration :3
yes it is good, i like marble instead of wood because idk why 🥲
This one also one of the best
Bump
This is rly bad quality😬, still showcases all of the quest cave
Fusion coild could also be disabled when ur in the quest cave so that you can't skip the plank part
Sign said ("Large" bomb required) btw, was a bit hard to see the text
@burnt scarab I'm prob gonna be sleeping when you wake up, i can dm u when i can build👍
love the detail but the requirements will kill it
do you have sketch?
@burnt scarab No not really, but you can see if you can upgrade the obstacle leading to ice cave, and maybe also the entrance to the snow biome, otherwise you could work on whatever you want to
There are pictures of the prototypes
Btw new quest cave is neither blocky or too blue now right?
yeah
👍
@humble gust u still on?
no but it definitely looks better
now thats what i wanted
I like 🤑
Bump
More icy i guess?
Yeah, sure is more icy, looks🔥
I think it looks ❄️
True😅
it's more like an energy core from a lab
❄️
Upgraded ice core cave a bit
Bump
Upgraded the entrance to the snow biome yet again
Had hoofer checked this snow biome yet?
Like sends a single message?
Nop
Bump
hoofer is in this thread 
now i know why i didnt like the cave you made
the spikes are blocky (shurikeno can fix that)
Cause he was pinged
@sick vortex
When you ping someone they get added to thread
Big brain
The guy from Fortnite (jk I’m not dumb)
oh
he is in fortnite though
Bump
red, inversion of blue
Alr👍
the texture will be like pine
I can't rly do the texture
So this?
is that granite?
Rock, just chose a random texture
try ice or glacier
glacier might work
White neon 
Peek's worst nightmare, lights
I hate neon material with a passion
Overly bright colors are awful, that's just the way it is. Those are supposed to be used in moderation to actually look good and not like a damn eyesore. Unfortunately not only people don't seem to understand, but devs too.
Game already has too much neon in it. It's legit starting to feel like a modded lt2 copy
@sick vortex What should be used instead?
lower the brightness
I have an idea. Think about what materials the game lacks. I have a candidate.
You could do several different enip colors (or you could keep only red if decided already). Their wood could be glass. Transparent, tinted glass.
People would love to use coloured glass, i have seen so many people over the years suggest that
And ut fits the theme
Since it's like these crystallised trees, right
True, like red ice
we can try use the material i used in the axe and ice core for the refined material
and then just glass for the forged
@burnt scarab Maybe, but then you would have to create it, I don't have access to the texture you used😬
yeah, the cactus are custom
Yeah
@sick vortex Is this what you mean? ( I can make it look better just want to know if it's right)
oh yeah this is what i meant
Alr
well, the log looks off with that texture a little, but i like how it's encased in transparent material
but i'm not too sure if that would be possible to do with current tree gen
Aight
Fully encased version
i mean surely the developers can get an accurate inverted color if they decide to add this
Yea
sweet
Enip wood, (found out orange was opposite of blue)
They will spawn on top of a mountain, i just haven't made it😅 , but this is how the top of the mountain will look, combined with some rocks and other stuff. Btw 4 Enip woods spawn at a time.
Bump
YES GLASS IS BETTER THAN NEON
Thats pretty
Put the reflection at 0.2
Bump

@humble gust Ice chisel and call it an Ice Pick
Was thinking of making 6 diffirent variants of Enip wood, what color should the variants be, the main one is orange, and the 5 other ones should be?
red, green, blue
PINK!
baby pink, shock pink, redish pink, purplish pink, pinkish pink, pastel pink, rose pink, gold pink, yellow pink, pink
rose quartz
thats just 1 pink, i need more and its pink glass
i need pink in all mats
infact i want pink raven!
💀

Enip wood variants
Added logs underneath
Close up of the bark, sanded and planked.
Was thinking that Enip wood changed colors with red, blue yellow snowstorms, all snowstorms being 1/10 but purple that is 1/100. If there is no snowstorm the wood will just be Orange, and of course regular snowstorms exist
Bump
Is that an ice fishing pond 😱. If this is an idea please make it simple to access.
Not a fishing pond😅
Bump
Where is pink
You got purple😅👍
😅😅😅

Bump
YOU GOT ROSE QUARTZ, TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT
To make neon pink use neon lights then rose quartz
Bump
PINK 🩷
Uhm…🤐

Snow also changes color
Where is pink
😬 😬 😬
What should the obtacles for the Enip wood mountain trail be, i have added 1, (mining your way through stone), was thinking of there being atleast 10 diffirent obstacles, maybe a little cave? idk, but the trail will also have those arches
Bump
Bump

This looks exactly like my project one @spare nexus
But more detailed

The Sunite, Moonite, Starite one?
Ye
Checked it out a lil while ago, it was a good idea
Thanks 

They remade magma cave with some extra stuff in it with the help of Jak
Yea
We will soon wait for other biomes (mm, al, sb)
Yep👍
Btw would it be a good idea to make a new post that shows all the new pictures and better explenations at the top of the "space"?
I read this whole thread, and the progress is amazing. Went from a boxy ice cube to a well detailed Oaklands themed ice cave.
Looks amazing, would love to see this come to oaklands.
Thanks😁
Did you build all this?
I had help from @simple zenith and @glad finch, @burnt scarab modeled the Frostbite axe and the Ice core
Who was the main builder
Me i guess
DMs.
Not much you can do, I know a bunch of popular devs. Unfortunately I don’t know these.
Not sure
Did you help on this project?
Ant was the modeler?
Who modeled the core
oh that was ant
Alr
Ok devs i dont know if you have seen this or not but i really want you to notice this thread and give an opinion on it. @fair stirrup @gilded obsidian
Hahaha yeah
Bump
i mean it still needs polishing but overall almost everything looks great 
its just a concept pal

they tend to pick only the high quality concepts from what i've seen unless the concept is interesting enough
not saying this concept is bad
Asking again🫠, would it be a good Idea to make a new post where all the updated versions of everything is at the top with better explenations?
Maybe

After thinking abt it i thought new players should have to grind a little bit more to get to the snow biome, so now they will have to get a sander and a planker to get over the now broken bridge by placing long planks.
If i create a new post how do i link it to this one?
Just # it
Alr
Oke imma create the new post

👍
@humble gust what if they make a mountain over the current ice cave and they make they current ice cave much bigger?
Kinda like this...
Yeah that would be cool
But Jak said that they already have a plan for the Snow biome😭
yooo
thats awesome

My snowy mountain is basically done, I even made the new materials...
Frostwalkee tree, GlacierSlate and Ice Crystals...
I'm gonna make a post when I get home...
don't make circular pillars 🥲
I cant
There's no other shapes in the parts list in studio...
true
don't use shapes
use archimedes plugin, starvant's tools and f3x
with these you can perfectly replicate terrain style of Oaklands
I feel like the blue core should happen if a metor lands in the snow biome
agree
Ik, I've been told this hundreds of times but the thing is I know nothing of roblox studios. I'm using shapes cause it's the easiest to use and it's the only one I'm familiar with...
Huh
