Starfield's worlds are better than they look- Starfield's maps are limited in size, yet they connect with adjacent zones and with a few tweaks and a lot of effort, a speedrun between them can be successfully recorded - Hry
This is definitely the best Starfield episode yet, the Odgrub sleeping bit was hilarious and this whole thing felt like quite an epic journey
Agreed, the sleeping bit had me cracking up
i think the oblivion background music really added to the experience
oblivion for me had one of the best ambience soundtrack ever
@@simple-human-being 100% I loved this! The information was greatly appreciated.
I love that odgrub lives in different bethesda games at the same time
I especially liked that despite the fact bethesda missed out on coding proper seamless map transitions for truly infinite level venturing (either for priority or engine-related issues), you managed to pull one off out of sheer brute force and a dash of video editing trickery.
They could have added a loading screen when you pass the edge quite easily, but I think they had already consumed their loading screen budget
@@artemisDevI think the true barrier was the procedurally generated shrubbery and clutter.
@@artemisDevIt is all about priority. In the end connecting the entire planet would be a fun gimmick but not much more. The areas are already big and the resources were used for something else.
somebody make a mod with hl2 loading screens between zones
Missed out on what? No one would go around walking through multiple tiles except for some youtuber trying to be the first to do it
I dont know if you actually care about region boundaries in Starfield, but different planets/moons have differents sizes. Ive found one moon so small you could land on one landing point with abandoned facility nearby, then land not very close to it relatively and still be able to see the exact facility from the first landing point and even reach it. This moon was so small you could easily see milky way skybox rotating in a very fast tempo
Anyway, great vid, Phillip
Please share which moon!
@@2kliksphilip I cant remember exactly, but it was typical icy moon orbiting yellow gas giant without rings, the gas giant was actually gigantic in skybox, so it worth finding at least for scenery
You could observe similar effect on other smaller moons. Try Ophion 1-a (level 45, middle of star map), as far as i remember that one was kinda small and i saw one exact outpost from different landing location when looking for cool shot of insanely huge gas giant on the horizon
Update: it might be Zelazny 8-A, but im not sure
Update 2: its not Zelazny 8-A, sorry guys. But yeah, there is definitely are smaller moons where tiles are big relatively to planets surface, i just cant remember them right now, havent touched game in 3 weeks
@@Reitaliation I dont remember the moon I was on, but the gas giant it was orbiting almost took up the WHOLE sky, and it kept getting bigger, and then suddenly disappeared haha
What a marathon achievement.
This is the most 2kliksphilip video ever made I think: a callback to an earlier beloved series and achieving something most would never even attempt using glitches and hacky exploits.
I'm actually shocked to see that the regions "connect" like that
They actually do. There are smaller moon in this game where one landmark can be seen from many landing points, meaning one landing point can cover a relatively big percentage of planets radius
I wonder if the generated areas actually "wrap" the planet properly, or if there are weirdnesses like with map projections. I bet it's the latter. Might be interesting to try this experiment near the poles and then again at the equator to see how the distances on-surface relate to the planet overview.
But overall, it looks like at least some portion of the team at Bethesda was trying to make the planet surfaces fully seamless, but that effort got cut short for one reason or another. I bet we'll learn a lot when the modding tools come out and we can look at how things are structured in the engine.
I remember the early leaks said they didn't connect, I'm glad this isn't the case although we won't be able to appreciate it unless modders do their thing
@@KepleroGT seeing that they actually do have some kind of seamless support, they might unlock planets in a future dlc. Might have just been cut content from the main release.
I appreciate that despite engine limitations, Bethesda was the one to actually understand habitable planets would have biomes, rather than being all the same across the entire planet.
Yess! It's a pet peeve of mine when planets in media are interchangeable with, like, countries
But it's still kinda dumb planets in starbound are more interesting to explore than in starfield lol
@@forgettd Honestly they should've just kept it how it is now, but stripped it down to 20-30 smaller planets with more hand-crafted areas.
@@forgettd thats a good one 😂😂😂...... Starbound that 90s looking ass game..... ya right, i dont get this stupid hate..... i mean yes the pois get repeated, but everyone shilled elden rings exploration when its pois repeat every 2 minutes 😂😂..... but we hate Starfield, honestly these ponies have really brainwashed all your little hater minds by keeping on saying the game is bad..... regardless of how much they try, you try to hate, the game is the most played of 2023, and its not even an mmo

I can't believe it's been 5 years, but we finally have a spiritual successor to Skyrim - What's the Second Tallest?
I love this so much! This proves that modding will most likely be able to actually add in seamless walking with either a loading screen between tiles, or maybe even none at all.
Imagine games you didn't have to mod to not be disappointed in 😅
@@SoggyMicrowaveNugget Imagine playing games that can't be enhanced in every possible way by the community
@@Romkar nah this should of been a built in feature
@@Waffleman00agreed. The fact that it can be modded is great. The fact that it HAS to be is embarrassing
@@RomkarI agree that it's good that game should have the *ability* for players to mod it to be better, but that doesn't mean it should be something that's *required* for the game to be good.
Take Doom for example. One of the most modded games of all time, but that didn't mean the original game was bad
It'll be fun to see with modding tools how hard it would be to seamlessly transition between boarders. It shouldn't be too horrible to at least achieve that with a loading screen transition when you near the edge.
Thats what I was going to say, if its just one big cell next to other ones, why can't they just add the option to load into the next adjoining cell when you reach a border?
@@silentReaper1220 that’s something their previous games do already. It’s not like all of Skyrim is loaded at once. Their overworlds are a bunch of exterior cells stitched together
@@silentReaper1220 @Delta56100 its not so easy. TLDR computers struggle with big numbers. and the way the starfeild engine is programmed causes something known as floating point error where all the huge numbers get corrupted when being processed in the CPU / gpu. if you try to make the level too large you will encounter extreme jitter and physics glitches as well as deformed models that vibrate . EVERY engine struggles with this . however they do special tricks to prevent you from noticing. like moving the entire world around you instead of moving you in the world which prevents having to calculate all of those massive numbers for physics and graphics. in CSGO and halflife they do the 3D sky box thing to fix it.
@@ali32bit42 its not just the way its programmed,floating point errors always happen with games that use floating point numbers,its just inevitible with the way computers process those numbers
@@Damian-cilr2 thats what i said. you cant fix hardware so developers work around it with programming tricks. like moving the entire world around you instead of moving your player model
This is so cool! It makes you wonder if they did in fact plan to make it so that you could run around the whole planet and laid the foundations for it in the terrain generation, but failed to make it work in the rest of the engine
Probably! Modders are finding out about a lot of systems that got taken out or didnt get polished enough to get added to the game. For example, there's a fully (slightly glitch) script to call your ship to your location on the planets surface
also the ability to place ladders manually in the ship builder
@@---__-_---___shows how little effort they put in
@@jacobp8294 The devs put the effort in, but didn't finalize the effort. This is true in any game that's made. Lots of half completed cool ideas that cant make it in the timeframe or budget
@@---__-_---___ then their timeline must have been incredibly strict with a limited budget. The game is half-baked with simple features like calling your ship left incomplete. 'you see I wrote the whole book, but the last half is blank because I wasn't satisfied with my revisions'
Bethesda is about 1/5 the size of a modern AAA game dev, they also have one of the longest retention rates in an industry notorious for quick turnover. Most of their employees have been around since Morrowind, Oblivion, and many of the Daggerfall devs still work there. By all measures it's a good place to work and the devs do good work, and have a pretty much bottomless bank account but they're still small. The fact that they made this game with a team of their size is a wonder.
Honestly, this video is a banger. I’ve watched it like three times. It’s so interesting and weird that they did things this way, and peeking behind the curtain really baffles more than anything.
Not used to see you have a sponsor. But happy for you to deliver this content and actually get payed for it :) thank you very much 😊
someone will defiantly make a mod that allows you to walk between sections. Maybe someone could put something like a loading screen in between the units kinda like how old mmos separated their regions

@@spiderjerusalem8505 you are wrong: the word "police" here refers to the collective body of officers or the organization itself, so it should be used with the plural verb "are"
Probably each tile has its own coordinate system and crossing it either straight up overflows numbers or sign flip causes unexpected math errors
I just wanna say that I love your humor, the quality you go for in your videos, how far you're often willing to go for your curiosity and the breadth of topics you cover. I was recently looking into VR and I happily remembered you've covered it in the past, so I took a look, and felt a bit relieved to see opinions from someone I had more faith in (not saying other reviewers aren't worth anything, I took them seriously, they were all just new to me).
It's so fun having followed your channels for years. I got your CS soundtrack recently as well and I feel a bit of nostalgia every time it comes on now. Thank you for your content for all these years.
Philip can make anything interesting, never thought I would enjoy a video about walking long distances in a game Im never gonna play
It is truly an amazing ability he has
i don't know what it was about this video but it had the perfect mix of hope, comedy, annoyance, passive aggressiveness, and focus on figuring a thing out while also getting slightly side tracked i loved it
Really great stuff! I've been watching all of your main channel vids and a bunch of these for over a year now and this is one of your absolute best! I haven't even played starfield, and I likely never will, but now you got me patiently awaiting more of Odgrub's adventures
We did it boys, we now have proof that this is space daggerfall, not space fallout
As a year long warthunder player and an even longer 2Kliksphillip watcher that ad came as a surprise, but I am happy that you finally accept more sponsorships, you deserve it.
These Odgrub videos are my favorite! So much work put into them, glad you got a sponsor for this one.
There are two mods, one allows you to zoom in closer on the Planet screen, the other changes the colors of the texture to make finding "transition" areas easier (can be used to find spots with mutliple resources). These can be useful for what you're doing.
As a Day 1 No Man's Sky player, who played the game pretty regularly during years 1-4, I can say that this is some astounding news. Hopefully Bethesda, like Hello Games did (not holding my breath), can improve upon the existing system and make it so much better.
NMS did not allow you to fly close to the ground in year 1. By Year 2 you could fly through the mountains and crash if you wanted to, and vehicles were added. This video, shows that the pixels are connected, hopefully on every world, so being able to travel around the planet if you want should be possible.... with some programming imagination. The potential is there! This gives me so much hope for more in this game.
I'm so here for Odgrub's Starfield adventures
I am currently playing Parkan 2 and it has almost the same gameplay fidelity that Starfield has, but it was developed for a few years, by small Russian developers back in 2005.
Thanks for spending an absurd amount of time to test it all out and go through the footage!
This video takes me back to jumping out of the boundaries of the painting world on Oblivion on my PS3. I jumped from the maps edge into nothingness and began swimming through the air till I reached ground. It was snowing but I could see a mountain in the distance. I ran for close to an hour as the mountain's shape got larger and I clipped through LOD terrain that varied in height. It felt like I was running across the surface of the games disc and would eventually reach another region of the game's overworld. Alas, I had to go for dinner and by the time I returned my passion for answers had fizzled out.
It's funny, I did this same whole grind to find out, it's relieving to find out I was not alone and others want to know lol. Well done, this took a lot of work, thanks.
You're the only creator I see actually figuring this stuff out and I think your findings are going to be invaluable once modding opens up
This info is actually quite big. So someday there will be a mod that removes those invisible barriers without crashing and voila, Odgrub is running for months ♥
Good on you for the sponsorship, but I can't help but be disappointed with the lack of a description aside from that of the sponsored game.
Good man Philip back on the grind
My hypothesis for the invisible barriers is that it's also due to the "hairy ball," theorem. Their engine could only handle loading square tiles, so they couldn't handle a player traveling vertically from pole to pole without a serious overhaul, and therefore just disabled it. Much easier to remap the players landing zone from spherical to Cartesian coordinates than it would be to handle things like 3D collision bounds and terrain data in non-euclidean space.
Glad you included Morrowind music in parts of this video. Perfect compliment to a sense of discovery and exploration.
What a nice video. Everything clicked completely. Jokes, editing, your findings. This must be my favorite video of yours to date.
quite literally the only starfield content worth watching
this is a video i'd only ever see on this channel. great work, 2kliksphilip.
the amount of effort you went through for this...bless you philip
Man, the stuff hidden behind your video thumbnails and title is incredible! One of the few channels I watch even if at first it doesn't sound like an interesting video. Good job Philip! Good job!
Makes me wonder what will be possible with mods, with proper seamless travel I could imagine atmosphere flight mods similar to how it is in No Mans Sky. You can fly around and scout for a good place to land.
I doubt we'll ever have seamless transitions between space and the surface of a planet/moon but this video alone has got me excited for the future of Starfield
The 8-10km boundary likely has something to do with floating point precision related limitations, so the game likely doesn't employ techniques like a "floating origin" as it is called, or a double precision coordinate system.
Great work Odgrub 👏👏🎊 You'd think with so much cardio the flaps would subside :(
I lovee seeing the inner works of huge games like these, so interesting.. Would be cool if they made a loading screen of some kind when you're on the verge of crossing to another region in which it unloads the old region and loads the new one if it cannot be seamless, rather than just closing it off.. It's so close..
Been playing No Man's Sky and Starfield truly looks visually more appealing in a lot of cases, tho both seem such huge and complex games.
This is brilliant work.
Odgrub was excited for what the future might hold... predominantly more running.
Was waiting for someone to make a video on this, glad it was you philip
I think it would be amazing to create a mod wich moves the barrier only a view meters away from the border and once you reach the barrier it gives you the option to load into the naighboring cell wit a loadscrean....
only fitting that the advertisment for a video full of suffering is even more suffering
The morrowind music is so nice. I'm gonna miss Jeremy Soule.
I wont. he sucks
The fact that Daggerfall did this 27 years ago and Starfield can't today without video editing is so sad.
This makes me wonder if they had originally planned for it all to be open and readily traversible but just couldn't technically achieve it in the creation engine.
Navigator Corps track is a banger
Every time philip says fuck he loses a klik point
Now to figure out if the tiles actually have some curvature to them or if they are completely flat. And if they are curved, find the seam where things start to get wonky. Might be at the poles or if they used a cube mapped to a sphere somewhere in one of the "corners".
Great episode. Despite all these games' limitations and various issues, I am really impressed with what they did with the planets and star systems.
Some of those meeting points for the biomes are great places to do some resource gathering with an outpost.
I'm glad someone has taken this important work on.
What an adventure. It's crazy they couldn't find a technical solution to allow travel across regions. The way they handled those invisible barriers looks like a "we'll fix it later" issue that was hacked in for release.
Wow! I thought it was just generating an area that looked roughly like what it should from the world map.
Crazy to think they went through the effort of making real planets, only to stop short of making that actually matter.
If it's a detail some of us might notice, as I did in my first (and only before kit-made mods) playthrough, then it matters.
It's not actually more work to do it this way though. All such types of procedural generation are deterministic, so as long as you pass in the same starting parameters (seed) you get the same result. For a planet in Starfield you assume the seed is the coordinate you land on, and thus you'll always get a consistent and deterministic planet surface back whether you land in the same spot over and over or in neighboring spots.
The reason why the game crashes when you go too much beyond the invisible boundary is because the more you go further away from your ship, the more terrain data the game loads that is in front of the player, and unloads the terrain data which is behind the player. A time comes when the player just moves too far away from his/her ship, that the player ship itself gets unloaded with the terrain data, hence the game crash.
There are 2 ways to solve this issue. Either we somehow prevent the ship from getting unloaded with the terrain data, when the player move to far away from the ship. Or make a script where we can call the ship to the players current position, so the ship always stays in the vicinity of the player, hence the game doesn't crash during extended planetary exploration.
@@2kliksphilip yes, I'm pretty confident about it. Go to the Starfield nexus mod page of "Remove Planetary Tile Boundary" and check out the post section. In there, a lot of modders ran experiments and shared their findings regarding this topic/issue and discovered why the game crashes when you go too far beyond the invisible boundary.
wtf man.. I appreciate the allotted effort, work, and clever genuinity to come to this conclusion.
i wont be able to entertain this idea, unless if i were benchmarking a game, a speedrunner, or bug testing.
I stopped playing starfield a few weeks ago, but I'll instantly watch any vids from this channel on starfield. The tech is more interesting than the game.
What a glorious piece of video game grind culture
Amazing video. Discovered your channel because of Counter-Strike, but I'm glad you do other content aswell.
I’m waiting for the DLC where seamless transitions are real. I’d pay good money for that.
I actually can't believe they did that. It's so shocking that works. Makes it kinda sad they couldn't have waited a few more months and at least given an option to "load next area" or something. But I'm sure that'd be reasonably easy with mods, or an external application like cheatengine handling the switches.
It feels like they’re so close, but where they’ve stopped short has such a massive impact. It’s not about the ability to walk around a planet over the course of a month. It’s about not being able to get in your ship and fly over to a cool landmark in 30 seconds, or boost from a planet to its nearby moon. The segmentation just makes my ship not feel real, the planets don’t feel real. The seamlessness is so integral to an experience that’s supposed to be about exploration
Yeah but to be fair, no amount of improved technical execution is going to make the story or characters any good. Even if the ai was perfect, the area transitions were streamed/seamless and the animation wasn't janky af, the game would still be ass.
@@charlespockert8948 I don’t agree at all. The segmentation of the world is my only major gripe.
@@Emperorhirohito19272 you are ok with the terrible repetitive main quest with the floaty mini game?
The dumb bipolar character writing, poor dialog, fast travel fetch quest soup, barren environments, weak combat... I could go on. The game is a shadow of previous Bethesda games (well, some of them) and yet still hasn't evolved in tech or gameplay since morrowind...
@@charlespockert8948 I haven’t gotten far in the main quest, so far is seems just as serviceable as the previous games.
Idk what you want the ship to feel like exactly, it works like any other spaceship in any other game. The power allocation and advanced targeting add a bit of extra interest.
Writing is fine, nothing to write home about. I already expressed my issue with the segmentation, which leads to all the fast travelling idk why you’re bringing it up as a point against me. The environments, specifically the procedural planet surfaces not the hand made stuff, are as barren as they should be. Again, the problem is the content is hundreds of metres apart and you just have to hold w for a couple minutes to get between them, if you could hop in your ship and zoom there in a few seconds it would be fine. Then the surface could just do its real job of being resource gathering zones where you scan stuff to see what you can harvest then build a little outpost to do it, a gameplay loop I enjoy.
Knowing that they actually can accurately generate any spot on the map, it's a real bummer that they don't let you travel across the whole planet. The only reason you can't is probably because of engine limitations, it seems like the engine still can't dynamically load and unload areas, since they also still need to have loading screens when entering a building, so they can only load part of the planet surface at a time. It's unfortunate because they were so close to actually being able to explore the planet surface, and they could have implemented vehicles or the ability to fly your ship on the planet to traverse the distances, and probably generate more actually interesting stuff like settlements along the way, but this ancient engine kept them from realising the vision. This game has so much unused potential.
The amount of effort it takes to prove that the game's world is connected is sad. Starfield is a missed opportunity
7:13 no game has invoked uncanny valley as much as this nightmare of a world. Why does her face look like that when she gets out of the chair. Why god
7:08 the commentary on Sarah killed me 😂
The f bomb was absolutely shocking….
This video showcases that despite their limitations, there is an inherent magic to the Bethesda formula.
Even when you're going your own way and doing your own thing, stories just emerge out of thin air. Great vid
A shame the rest of the game is still trash, had a storm on a planet that didn't looked great. The game itself also doesn't look that next gen yet gave me 60 FPS on a 4090 during said storm despite it not being that heavy on effects. Mirrors dont even have reflections, basic tech is missing that we had over 10 years ago.
They couldn't even be bothered to make a map for the cities or areas you're in so you just follow arrow after arrow. No roleplay left in this one
You cant even swimm underwater...
@@PuellaMagiHomuraAkemi Surprisingly if you no clip below water, you start drowning so they probably had plans to add it but scrapped it at the end.
@@konoshox

@@PuellaMagiHomuraAkemi That's a shame about the swimming, everytime I buy a new game I always head straight for the water to go for a dip. Swimming is my number one concern in games. Gameplay loop? Balance? World building and design? Story, both plot and the themes that drive people to keep playing? No thanks, for me it's all about the 500m freestyle. Gotta go for a dunk. Mario vs Sonic at the Olympic Games is the greatest game of all time due to its robust swimming mechanics
@@motboy8
Its the sum of issues and design failures while the game proclaims to be next gen or an "improvement" its a newer game yet the essentials aren't there.
Of course you can make it all sound silly if you need copium xD
I love the fact that the worlds look realistic and have multiple biomes with proper transitions in world generation. Also some creatures can survive on multiple biomes and some cannot.
I think they made a great base in terms of world generation that could be expanded by modders.
Yeah this is one special... actually very very good video!
My theory as to why Bethesda didn't make the regions fully connect is possible memory bloating, but who knows honestly
I think so too
Skyrim: See that mountain? You can go there.
Starfield: See that mountain? You can only go there if it's within your little instanced box.
You can see places you can't go in Skyrim, the red mountain and white gold tower being two examples.
Also good to note that this "little instanced box" is about the size of Skyrim.
I really liked your usage of the f word in this video. Very good.
How much do you play Daggerfall? I'm keeping an eye on the World of Daggerfall Project for Daggerfall Unity, which adds new locations and large-scale props to the wilderness. Combined with Interesting Eroded Terrain, Basic Roads, and Low Poly Trees, I find travelling around on-foot to be so much more interesting.
Oh, that sound interesting!
Now we need a mod that teleports you to a neighboring region
This video is so important for me lol I always felt like exploring a planet was all just bullshit as every zone is procedurally generated but it actually all connects!! Much more immersive to know
I appreciate the joke in the subtitles at the end, almost missed it but I'm glad I decided to double check and make sure I didn't just hallucinate an extra line of dialogue lol
I get that you probably can't dynamically load in new chunks because of engine limitations, but wouldn't it be possible to make a mod that instead of crashing just puts a loading screen and loads the next chunk? That's probably the most seamless it's gonna get.
“GRANT ME STRENGTH!” made me spit my food out 😂
Oh boy I can't wait for the mod that stitches all the regions together, or at least extends them significantly
this made my day
"has no such shroud issues" - thing on back disappears

Glorious , thank you!
In Skyrim, "cow tamriel x,y" can be used to teleport to any coordinate on overworld. I bet there is a similar one in Starfield so you can teleport anywhere on planet and do circumnavigation.
The situation is that they're just generating a 2D heightmap world, but you cannot fit a 2D heightmap world onto a sphere. You must resort to one of the many projections that exist, all of which result in distortion. They'd have to distort the actual 3D landscape to fit the sphere if it were going to truly match what you see on the spherical planet. I don't know what projection they're using to map biomes onto planets, it could be some kind of icosahedron based method, or maybe even as simple as octahedral, but at the end of the day they're just generating the landscapes as 2D heightmaps from the biome data that exists where you click on the planet, and there's no true contiguous tiling of these heightmaps to form a spherical planet. A game like No Man's Sky doesn't generate 2D sections of landscape, they went ahead and actually implemented a way to generate a spherical landscape which is why you can actually fly off of and onto planets you encounter in space. While there's still a "seam" between the space traveling presentation of planets, and the landscape you see when you've entered the atmosphere, it's definitely not the situation Starfield suffers from - just generating 2D heightmap landscapes based on a position you click on a planet.
I'm not sure it's because of the hairy ball theorem, but rather that there is no homeomorphism from the plane to the sphere, because the sphere is compact and the plane is not (homeomorphisms preserve "compactness").
The hairy ball theorem is more for stuff dealing with a plane of vectors.
The problem here is not compactness, as the map is hopefully finite in size (i.e. it's bounded, and we might as well assume it's a closed subset of the plane). The problem is that the map is flat (i.e. has zero curvature), but it's trying to be a map of a globe (which has positive curvature). But by the Theorema Egregium, (Gaussian) curvature is preserved under local isometries -- so such a map cannot be a local isometry, i.e. it must warp distances.
Yes you're right, I realised after my comment but I hoped nobody would know enough to notice
Now it’s time for the modders to come in and if anything, add loading screen’s between regions. That’s where we need them!
Great video Philip!
I was waiting for Caboosing. Not disappointed.
@2kliksphilip make sure you bind your secondary jump key to something else( i did Alt) because it lets you boost forwards instead of upwards
I think they might be the same mountains!
For the algo, all praise
hopefully modders will figure out how to force the creation engine at gunpoint to let them traverse a whole planet seamlessly
I can't believe it actually does that.
Good on you for the mid-video sponsor Philip. I'm sure I'm not alone in being happy you decided these weren't "wrong" or unfitting for your channel to have. Great vid as well
Also, congrats on the longest bethesda game marathon sprint ;)
Cannot believe that having a landscape generator capable to generate continuous landscape over multiple tiles, then didn't implement the simplest hack with teleportation. When the player reaches any border that is 4 km away from zero coordinate, game pauses, everything (map, player, NPCs, POIs) moves 4 km back from the border, farthest half of the map unloades, closest half of the map generates, and game continues. If to pre-generate closest half of the map ahead of time, then the transition would be barely noticeable.
