Once Human The Way of Winter Deep Dive

1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,640
all right so are you ready to Brave some serious 
weather haha always up for a challenge what are  

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:12,160
we diving into today well you sent over that once 
human live stream about the way of winter update  

3
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:17,840
and uh wow just wow October 17th can't come 
soon enough I know right it's going to be a  

4
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,920
game changer that's for sure totally so to make 
sure everyone listening is ready we're going to  

5
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:27,200
break it all down in this deep dive from those 
freezing temperatures to those what do they call  

6
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:32,600
them chaos Weavers giant mon basically yeah the 
chaos waers are going to be interesting to see  

7
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,440
in action that's for sure but I think the real 
challenge is going to be the whole temperature  

8
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:41,160
mechanic oh absolutely it's not just about finding 
a coat and calling it good right we're talking two  

9
00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:47,680
completely different environments with Onyx Tundra 
and Vena Fjord on the one hand and then Ember strand  

10
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,200
which is basically a volcanic hellscape on the 
other talk about a change of scenery yeah you  

11
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:57,200
go from bended up to sweating buckets in what 
like 5 minutes and that's the thing it's not  

12
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:02,800
like other games where you can just ignore the 
cold if you're tough enough this is once human  

13
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,440
we're talking about so of course they tie it 
into everything so like when you're planning  

14
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:12,120
an expedition you used to think about what 
resources maybe an enemy encounter or two now  

15
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:17,360
you've got time of day to worry about weather 
changes what you're even carrying all because  

16
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:22,400
that temperature is messing with your sanity 
your energy basically everything you need to  

17
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,680
survive exactly they really found a way to weave 
it into the existing mechanics even holding on  

18
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,200
to something like a Molotov for too long can make 
make a difference it's like they saw us Min maxing  

19
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:38,200
our inventories and thought hold my beer H pretty 
much but I think it's genius it adds this whole  

20
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:46,040
new layer of I don't know realism consequence 
to every decision makes you really think about  

21
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,480
every action and craft let's not forget crafting 
because you're going to need some serious cold  

22
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:56,000
weather gear to survive time and they've added 
helium seum and thermium to the game so get those  

23
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,080
mining drills ready oh and fur don't forget fur 
those thick fur pelts are going to be essential  

24
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:07,240
right can't wait to see what crazy outfits people 
come up with oh I know but for those times when  

25
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:12,600
you need a quick fix they're always those new 
crops they were talking about like Spike M  

26
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:18,240
polar pepper Sunny Ginger like grabbing a hot 
coffee on a cold day just a quick boost to get  

27
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:24,400
you through exactly though it does make you wonder 
about those early game struggles absolutely it's  

28
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:30,160
going to be more important than ever to establish 
a solid territory early on build those campfires  

29
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,800
get those heat generating facilities up and 
running and don't forget you've got more backup  

30
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:41,920
this time around 16 players to a squad now oh yeah 
teamwork is going to be key to surviving the way  

31
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:48,480
of Winter the challenges are just too much for a 
lone wolf 16 brains are definitely better than one  

32
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:53,360
in this case especially when you've got something 
as massive as that Thermal Tower to worry about  

33
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:58,040
remember that thing the one that looked like it 
could control the weather the Thermal Tower oh  

34
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:03,840
yeah that thing is nuts totally it's like the Holy 
Grail of way of winter bases it's more than just a  

35
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:10,400
building it's like the heart of your territory 
in this update definitely but don't go rushing  

36
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,600
off to build one right away this isn't something 
you unlock right at the start right you'll need  

37
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,680
to progress through the mimics page first yeah 
for those who haven't played before think of that  

38
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:24,560
as your Tech tree right unlocking blueprints 
upgrading your settlement all that good stuff  

39
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:29,960
exactly once you've got the Thermal Tower unlocked 
though get ready to rally the troops because  

40
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:35,600
this thing is a team effort if I've ever seen one 
oh 100% from Gathering the resources to actually  

41
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,960
building the thing and then constantly upgrading 
it you'll need all handson deck it's like the  

42
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:46,960
ultimate test of friendship but the rewards oh 
man the rewards imagine having temperature control  

43
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,960
over your entire territory seriously we're not 
just talking about staying warm here this thing  

44
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:59,000
can transform the land around your base into an 
oil field no way that's huge right all the fuel  

45
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,960
You'll Ever Need right there in your backyard okay 
see now that's just smart design oh and get this  

46
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:10,320
it also makes your production facilities work 
faster wait really so like double the weapons  

47
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:16,840
double the gear you got it even those crop 
mutations get a boost more yields faster growth  

48
00:04:16,840 --> 00:04:22,320
maybe even some new mutations we haven't even seen 
yet this Tower is like the ultimate multitasker  

49
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:28,400
pretty much but of course there's got to be a 
catch right always a catch don't tell me it's  

50
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:34,640
powered by those Creepy Crawlers from the mines 
uhhuh no not quite remember Chaosium that weird  

51
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:40,080
energy source they mentioned oh yeah the one that 
kind of looked like purple goo that's the one Well  

52
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:46,120
turns out that's what powers the Thermal Tower 
but purifying it well it's not exactly a clean  

53
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:52,120
process let me guess it attracts unwanted guests 
you could say that remember those chaos Weavers  

54
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,320
we talked about earlier the giant monsters how 
could I forget yeah those guys really don't like  

55
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,920
it when you mess with Chaosium they see it as like 
a a direct thread or something so basically we're  

56
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,800
talking about a giant monster magnet right in the 
middle of your base pretty much but it's not just  

57
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:11,320
that they're drawn to it they also like really 
want to destroy it and these things are huge man  

58
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,640
we're not talking about just a little raid here 
yeah they showed some footage of them in the live  

59
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:21,360
stream it was insane like they make those giant 
spiders from before look like house pets and it's  

60
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:26,880
not just about their size either these things can 
like manipulate the environment around them cause  

61
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:32,360
temperature shifts make it freezing cold one 
minute boiling hot the next okay so now we've  

62
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:39,680
got giant monsters who can control the weather 
trying to destroy our superpower Tower this is  

63
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:45,040
starting to sound like a disaster movie haha 
well that's once human for you but it does mean  

64
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:51,120
that protecting that Thermal Tower is going to be 
priority number one makes those 16 player squads  

65
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,680
seem a lot more necessary now doesn't it oh for 
sure it's going to take some serious coordination  

66
00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:00,640
to take these things down Okay so we've got 
our work cut out for us but at at least we've  

67
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:05,440
got some cool new toys to play with right what 
were those new deviations called oh yeah they  

68
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:11,040
added some really fun ones in this update they 
showed that one the uh the snow Sprite right the  

69
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,960
one that creates like a little ice Shield yeah the 
snow Sprite is going to be popular that's for sure  

70
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:21,760
a nice little defensive option but my personal 
favorite has got to be the ice poot the ice poot  

71
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:26,000
seriously that's what they call I know right 
it sounds ridiculous but don't let that fool  

72
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:31,560
you this thing packs a punch it's like a little 
freezing beam that just like blasts enemies with  

73
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:37,600
cold okay okay I see what you mean it's a wolf 
and sheep's clothing right or a I guess a dragon  

74
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:42,520
in poot's clothing uhuh exactly I can't wait to see 
what kind of combos people come up with you know  

75
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:49,040
with the new weapons and everything speaking of 
weapons did you see the silent anabasis oh yeah  

76
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:55,160
that thing is sick the way it creates that Frost 
Vortex so cool I know right it's not just a damage  

77
00:06:55,160 --> 00:07:00,240
dealer though those ice crystals it leaves behind 
they shatter and cause even more Frost damage  

78
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,960
area of effect and everything right you got it 
talk about crowd control it's like they really  

79
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,480
thought about how everything would work together 
with this update you know the deviations the new  

80
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:14,640
enemies the environment totally It's All About 
strategy understanding how each element plays  

81
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:20,960
into the bigger picture it's like a giant freezing 
fiery game of chess but hey speaking of strategy  

82
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:26,640
how about we break down how this whole way of 
winter scenario actually works you know like  

83
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:32,080
what are the stages so walk me through what do is 
surviving this whole way of winter thing actually  

84
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:38,240
look like okay so picture this you've landed in 
this new world right it's freezing but you're  

85
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:43,360
ready you've got your warmest gear a handful 
of flares maybe a hot beverage or two okay so  

86
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:48,840
far so good I like where this is going right so 
this first part this is the Arctic domain phase  

87
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:54,400
this is all about acclimating getting used to 
the cold figuring out how to survive it lasts  

88
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,840
about 7 Days in game time of course 7 days to get 
your bearings learn the lay of the land exactly  

89
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:05,400
it's about exploration experimentation really 
getting a feel for the new mechanics sounds  

90
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:12,400
deceptively calm and that's the point it lulls you 
into this false sense of security because then bam  

91
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:18,600
phase two hits scattered Ash right that's when 
things start to heat up literally literally the  

92
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:24,200
temperature swings get more extreme resources 
become more scarce and oh yeah remember those  

93
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:30,760
chaos Weavers the giant Havoc waking monsters how 
could I forget they make their grand entrance in  

94
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:35,640
Phase 2 it's a real test of your survival skills 
eight days of that if I remember correctly you've  

95
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:40,320
got a good memory but then just when you think 
you've had enough just when you're about to crack  

96
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:48,280
under the pressure the game throws you a Lifeline 
phase three glimmer of hope oh man you've been  

97
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:53,000
studying this is where those securement silos come 
into play those procedurally generated dungeons  

98
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,720
we talked about earlier right the ones that are 
packed with valuable resources Bingo it's a chance  

99
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:04,120
to regroup restock maybe even upgrade your gear a 
bit before the final showdown because the end of I  

100
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:13,280
and fire Waits for No One nope and that's what we 
call phase 4 10 days non-stop action It All Leads  

101
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:19,280
up to this massive final event Frost and Flame 
think you've seen the toughest chaos Weavers the  

102
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:25,480
game has to offer think again so it's a gauntlet 
basically wave after wave of enemies culminating  

103
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:30,640
in this epic boss battle pretty much but if you 
manage to survive all that well then you get  

104
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:36,760
to enjoy the fruits of your labor the 28-day 
settlement phase time to rebuild relax maybe  

105
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:43,000
even start planning your next playthrough exactly 
because who plays once human just once not me and  

106
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,720
you know what I am more than ready to dive into 
way of winter head first when it drops on October  

107
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,720
17th me too though I wouldn't mind snagging some 
of those twitch drop rewards first free stuff just  

108
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:58,720
for watching streams yes please oh right those 
run from October 19th to November 16th right I've  

109
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:04,000
got my eye on that white pea catting hat myself 
adorable haha nice don't forget to pre-register  

110
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,640
for the teamup event too more free goodies 
plus you get a head start on forming your squad  

111
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:14,360
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work especially in way of 
winter well folks there you have it everything you  

112
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:19,200
need to know to conquer the cold and maybe even 
befriend a chaos weaver or two just kidding don't  

113
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:24,120
try that at home or in the game for that matter 
but seriously as you prepare to face the elements  

114
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:29,480
and the hordes of enemies remember this the way of 
winter is more than just a challenge it's a test  

115
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:35,640
of your adaptability your Ingenuity and maybe even 
your sanity so Gear Up squat up and get ready to  

116
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:40,080
Brave the elements who knows you might just 
surprise yourself with what you're capable of
