- Опубліковано 11 січ 2024
- The ECO Game version 10 (v10) is out and I starting to do some deep dives into aspects of the gameplay. This week, I look at the ECO Deep Ocean Biome and it's impact on boats, transport, trade, and opportunities it can provide for world or settlement projects. The ECO game has changed a lot in version 10 (Eco v10), so there will be a lot of coverage to come. Also participate in this months ECO GiveAway (give away).
GiveAway Rules: A random drawing will happen for any comment provided on this video and other ECO videos produced during the duration of the giveaway where the key phrase is used in the comments. Winners will be announced in a future video which may or many not be related to the game. After announcement, there is a one month waiting period for the winner to claim their prize. After this one month waiting period, the prize will be withdrawn, and the game key will go back into the hopper for another offering. To claim a prize, the winner must send me an email to my business email address found on my channel's home page. After that, the game key will be provided to the winner via response to the email.

I love the addition of the deep ocean! No more bridges is fantastic :)
Folks have different opinions on it, but I'm finding boats to be greater that trucks! :D
That reminds me of lining a narrow sea in Minecraft with an under-sea tunnel back before boats. Displacing the water with a stack of dirt as I went along, then regathering it back up.
I love your Eco videos! Thank you for making them :)
As the Eco wiki looks pretty void at the moment, these videos help with understanding the game better.
Thank you!! More content is definitely coming - I'll be a mixed bag of info for sure!
Great video, nice to see some of your footage from the Dadspeed V10 test server! Gotta make a trip down to your place on the coast soon, pick myself up a boat of my own
Please do!! You won’t regret having a Large Canoe! :D
Just finding this game, but I think building deep ocean bridges should be allowed, but they should be only possible with extremely expensive resources or something, essentially delegate it to being a megaproject, something people will want to do, but very hard to coordinate, fund, and actually accomplish. Such expensive blocks would also serve as a way to plug any breaches in the tunnel idea you mentioned as well without completely makeing all those work unusable for a single mistake, punishing, but not unsurmountable.
Also Deep Ocean sure is Deep I imagine
I really need to dive back into this game one day, great video as always!
Deep Ocean update seems really interesting u could have a fleet of trading boats like they did back in the spice trade era :)
It will be interesting to see this new deep ocean update!
Man, that's actually pretty neat the stuff that they did with deep ocean I could see like a real life civilization of transporting goods doing tours if you create stuff near the deep ocean if possible so you could have like attractions people or cool looking statues. Game gets cooler each update I've seen.
Indeed! The Deep Ocean limitations were important and brilliant.
would love to see one of those deep ocean tunnels in action!
I haven't tested it myself, but I read on the official Discord server, that removing a block in the deep ocean biom even if you are still underground results in a water filled block. If that is correct, there is no way to build any way below the ocean.
Cars, trucks and so on weren't able to drive under water and I'm sure that functionality hasn't changed. As long as you are in a tunnel without water they will work as always. But if you really can't build a tunnel, you could build this tunnel until the beginning of the deep ocean. Then your tunnel and you vehicle will drown. As the water mechanics of Unity is meeehh at best, at least not the whole tunnel will be flooded.
Undersea tunnel can still be dug under deep ocean biome, i have dug a tunnel at y=19 without issue, however as you mentioned, it can't be repaired if a breach happened, so just dug deeper down once you start to see sands.
It is also very difficult to dug even for a miner, as all the deep seabed consists of basalt.
But wait! There's an exception, as long as the water isn't breached into the deepsea tunnel, you still can built blocks within the tunnel. For example, paving the tunnel with road or asphalt blocks is possible.
I actually forgot this game even existed, but I'm glad they keep updating it. I wasn't expecting a complete bridge building restriction in the deep ocean, but it does seem like it'll help make the game more realistic and boats actually useful. 👍
I personally really like the boats and the behavior of it eventough the canoes should be a bit more responsive I was able to haul quite alot of Iron Ore over the ocean to be processed. I also entered mechanics where some more advanced boats get unlocked and the wooden transportship is just amazing with its capacity of 14 tonnes of carriage capacity. Also that they made it that you have to use boats to get trough the deep ocean is such a good addition to not make the boats useless in some way
Me too - loving the boats!!
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing your Deep Ocean thoughts.
This ECO game keep improving - it’s nice to see the steady improvements to gameplay!
Would be nice to see an overview of how the new settlement system works. Creating overview content for it might be a bit hard though since it requires multiple players and so on...
It's a deep topic for sure! I'm still hashing through a lot of it, and it may even take a little bit for Strangeloops to settle on default server settings. There underlying things that haven't been published that we're discovering on our test server like the degree of culture and influential overlap needed for towns to form a country, and how some of that is actually calculated...there's a fair bit of non-obvious complexity going on.
I have tunneled under and you can place stuff under the deep ocean biome unless you accidently break through the ocean floor. Then you got a headache on your hands.
Yeah, honestly i like the idea behind the deep ocean, but i still would like to be possible to build underwater tunnels, because they are realistic, to some extent.
I built a tunnel down under the ocean to link to islands and ramps either side (Took a time) until could make elevators.
Crossing a deep ocean in a canoe!!?? No way!
Stepping, even jumping over a babbling brook? Yeah, baby!!
Way!! :D
Deep ocean changed stuff! I like how it functions now!
Me too! Some folks still want the bridges over the deep oceans, but for folks that have engaged in a lot of boat transport, they say they really like it!! It adds another dimension, and in some ways, they're finding it superior to bridged truck travel.
I'm quite enjoying my time traveling with ships and in general just discovering this game I slept on, glad to have joined at this time too!@@Oearth
Got to love the deep ocean 🙂
Thank you for ur deep ocean testing. I am very new to the game. How accurate are the older tutorials from previous version's compared to v10
Great question! Some are probably still spot on like hints on selecting a starting location and how to get started, yet other where I shoed building Atlantis (an underwater deep ocean city) wouldn't be possible at all now. I know that's not a real precise answer, but it probably just depends on the video. I do plan to put out more content though over the next few months to talk about what's changed, how things work now, and all that. Thanks for watch and the question!! :D
oh yeah baby a deep ocean wish I could build rapture form BioShock in eco would be cool
This game seems like such a great fun. Have the time to play it, but haven't had the chance to buy it. I love the depth that this game seems to go into. I wonder how tunneling will work. Like. There is no deep ocean that has been traversed through a tunnel. So next up tunnel boring machines?
The tunneling was more of a potential option, but I'm finding the boats to be a fantastic way to more around the world and transport goods. I'm sure someone on the server when it goes live will try to make a tunnel, but being able to travel over water and go straight form point A to point B has been great!
So one question for you. What is the main form of communication on Dadspeed? I’m asking because I’m dyslexic and fast typing is not my thing. Discord voice chat?
I'd say it's mixed - there is some communications in-game, and some with Discord, and both use both text and voice chat. If I were to break it down, I'd say it's like this. Discord Text is most information and news, no tine pressures for responses. Discord Voice is used by a fair number of players to chat about things while playing, but it's probably not the majority of the community. I sometime see people text in game for someone to go to Discord voice channel to talk about stuff that's not easily handled in a quick message. Game Voice is not not used a lot because I believe it's a proximity thing, but folks sometimes do speak to each other that way. Game Text is used a good bit, but it's mostly targetted requests and answers, like some will say, "Can any Farmers out there put some wheat seeds on there store?" Someone will respond, "I've got it - ready in 10 minutes." There's a lot of other just fun chit-chat going on in game, but the above is about the extent of any 'needed' texting. There's also a fair number of folks from different countries where English is challenging (texting or otherwise), and they enjoy the server and do just fine with minimal communications. Hope all that helps - stay tuned for news about when DadSpeed v10 will go live!
a few points.. some of which still need tested.. first, bridges are not totally out..those over rivers are still a faster option "though some people have said you still use more calories crossing a bridge as if you were swimming"... second, the map gen STILL can create super continents, making boats not needed.... third, has anyone tried to dump dirt or sand into the deep parts "this includes from a skid on a barge".. also there has been at least one case where right next to shore somehow counted as deep and would not allow building, even though a few blocks away in deeper water was build-able.... and finally, it should also be noted that this feature CAN be toggled off when making a world...
vehicles dont function in water biomes, no tunnels, somebody on our server tried.. they just stopped working down there in the tunnel when they hit the biome border :(
Was it deep ocean or deep deepocean? Regardless, this is a very awesome game that I wish has more coverage
Deep ocean 😊
how deep could the deep ocean be?

why is everyone so happy about the boats and removal of bridges? its actually terribly implemented they removed the ability to build critical bridges on a map in exchange for boats that don't even work, the barges are absolutely broken as all hell you can't even get a normal wooden cart onto a wooden barge arguably the most used form of transport the CART doesn't work, and a steam truck gets on fine as long as you are okay with having to place a stockpile down at your destination and fully empty the truck into the stockpile so it can be picked up off the barge because you can't drive the truck anymore as soon as your barge bumps anything in game or hits a small patch of rough water the wheels of the truck just sink into the barge then you cant drive it, i dont get how im the only one who would rather have bridges then pick up my entire truck and its cargo everytime i want to cross some water. FIX THE BARGES they suck
V10 killed the game now everyone just groups up wity there friend's so everyone without friends cant progg its kinda dog shit
It's not so much the game I don't think as the server and any rules around it. Our server (DadSpeed) is on about day 25 and this last weekend had 77 people online at one point. We have a 2 star maximum, the two skill can't be ones that feed mats into each other, and a 'no-sharing of resources' rule...everything has to be traded on the open market. Those 3 key things together helps promote healthier trade. There some shenanigans here and there, but for the most part it's very collaborative and inclusive. I for instance am not in a town and essentially solo, and am doing great due a good location between 2 town centers and being on the coast for easy trade. It's also extremely slow progression, and only a few skill have even reached max level. So keep looking for a good server with good people - they are there, but admittedly hard to find. I went through several before finding a good one!
