[Rseding] [1.0.0] With map zoomed to "radar level" you can hear things in unrevealed chunks

Post by ManaUser »

So in the map, if you zoom in to the level where visible areas become a live picture, you can hear sounds from any part of the map, even if not visible, or never revealed (black). Because spawners regularly emit a gross burbling sound, means you can locate them past the edge of the visible map or other places where you shouldn't have access to that information.

As an example, I can hear biters at A, B and C.

I would expect to hear them only at A where I actually get a live picture too. Well, arguably radar view shouldn't have sound at all, but that wouldn't be fun I suppose.

I would argue that in real life too you can hear things further than you can see sometimes, like at night, or when there is fog , personnaly when i make noise at my place the neighboor says he can hear it very well providing i make the noise loud enough.

joke aside i think if you hear them on C it's becaused they are already generated, there is a thin border around the edge of the map that is generated but unrevealed. If you try to spy further away in the dark i don't think you would hear anything, even though while going there , the terrain generating could spawn some of them.

The sound in radar view is useful when you make alerts with speaker, you don't have to make them global, the moment you zoom in a place you hear it, also you can make music contraption in the corner of the map, and anyone could listen to them from their location just by zooming in, it's a cool feature ! with little side effect i suppose :).

Well sure, I kind of anticipated that comment, but the thing is this has unlimited range. You can hear any generated chunk, no matter how far it is from you or a radar, which doesn't really seem reasonable or intentional.
