matt creating his own world and we're just living in it 🌍

Myth, Matt refuses to learn of the Stream Gauge despite many times doing experiments regarding flow or depth.

[TheChoncho]

The geysers hit the height limit, and go off the map. That's why they cut off at the top.

[vincentsolus]

09:15 there is a huge chance that, that height is the maximum that anything can go in the game

[FrayerDH]

With the dying on commute thing, I'd bet it works like: dying is a task that needs to be put in the queue like any other task, so, if a beaver is on a really long task such as walking across the entire map, dying sits in the queue until that other task is done.

The geyser has nothing to do with water pressure, but with the limitation in water flow over a single edge, which is 2.2 cms. On your first pyramid, the top was 4x4 blocks, meaning 16 edges that the water can flow off, so a total of 35.2 cms. If the source block output more than that, the water will have no where else to go but up.

This also explains why making the hole smaller had no effect, you still had a 4x4 top, with 16 small waterfalls.

[joehemmann]

For the infinite power myth, it's nothing to do with friction. When you don't have pumps, there's nothing stopping the water level from reaching equilibrium where it stops flowing. The pumps lower the water at the end and raise it at the start, keeping the water level at a gradient and making it flow to try to even out.

This is actually a great sponsorship, teaching everyone the new updates entertainingly

16:03 Matt finally learns how to use the view layers!

[SephirothRyu]

The youtuber Pravus did a look-see into the new features with dev commands, and make a city ON a giant bridge. You need to give it a bridge review. Or at the very least, make living on a giant bridge the megaproject for your next timberborn series.

[JuddMan]

CMS is probably cubic metres per second, a measure of throughput

[Andysalive]

it's amazing that the silly little beaver early access game not only became a amazing city builder, but just casually added the best water simulation in a game ever.

[WoodlandDrake]

the shallow water evaporating faster is slightly misleading, as each tile evaporates at an equal rate regardless of the amount in it, but when you are 2 tiles deep only the top tile is evaporating. So if you had a 2x1 compared to a 2x2, instead of 2x1 vs 1x2, you would see them evaporate at the same rate.

[Zerotan]

Is a beaver immortal while commuting? Old age? Disease? Can you juggle a beaver on a commute so it lives forever?

[sparkselm]

Regarding the "covered water will evaporate" thing, I suspect that the "evaporation" mechanic is also used to cover water seeping into the ground, which is why covered water seems to evaporate.

After all, you see water seeping into the ground all the time as it greens up the map (or spreads contamination for badwater), but mechanically it's just easier to have that be the same mechanic as evaporation (i.e. less work for the devs).

18:52 why are you apologizing. We love Paddy

[monad_tcp]

30:27 I have a myth, will RCE ever use that water level measuring thingmaging ?

[JoggleBoi]

Imagine if the capping would make the wood explode causing a massive storm of poo or the poo would spurt out the top like a geyser 5:54

[dracconis]

The thing is you can use even less materials by using the 3x1 overhangs (covered with impermeable floors of course) in the bad water trough facing backwards towards the bad water source and have the trough capped with levees. Rather instead of the layout shown in the video.

[TWBRollie]

25:30 i love how he thinks it's centimeters squared instead of cubid meters per second
