🎮 Introduction to the Hyer DLC and Gameplay
Josh, the host, welcomes viewers back to 'Let's Game It Out' and introduces the new DLC for Hyer called 'Journey to Volcalist'. He thanks the developers for the key and humorously refers to himself as a nuisance in their game. The video begins at the Ember Cradle, where Josh usually explains the game mechanics but opts to save that for the DLC segment. He gets distracted by a bystander he repeatedly runs over with his vehicle before setting off to find the DLC. After some humorous attempts to transport his vehicle, he eventually uses a boat to reach a new island, Volcano Ville, and begins exploring.
🛍️ Exploring New Glade and its Features
Josh explores the new area, New Glade, which includes a museum where he can collect dinosaur bones for rewards, and various shops selling construction crates, a lava drill, a lava harvester, and a task board store. He also discusses the new Displate Textra product line, which offers metal posters with 3D contours and textures. After a brief demonstration of the product, he returns to the game to find a new vehicle that runs on lava and begins to dig for minerals, discovering that the character appears to be immune to lava's effects.
🚜 Mining and Establishing a Base in the DLC
Josh explains the mining process in the game, which involves using a shovel, bucket, and pan to collect and refine minerals. He experiments with the effects of lava on the environment, such as melting ice. After mining gold ore, he brings it back to town to exchange for coins. With the earned coins, he purchases various items, including a ticket office, to expand his in-game operations. He also discusses the requirements for constructing different tiers of stores and the need to mine stone blocks and iron bars.
🔧 Building a Lava-based Conveying System
Josh sets up a complex system involving pipes to transport lava, which he uses to dig holes in the ice automatically. He uses a lava drill to gather resources and explains how the lava harvester works. He creates a pipeline for lava and connects it to various parts of his base. He also addresses a frame rate issue caused by a clog in the system and uses a magnet to clear it. The video showcases his creative use of in-game mechanics to build an elaborate mining and resource collection setup.
🏭 Creating an Automated Sorting and Collection System
Josh constructs an elaborate sorting system using conveyor belts to separate and collect minerals. He automates the process of melting ice into water using lava and ice melters. The system involves drilling for ice, melting it, and using the water to create a functioning pipeline for the conveyor belts. He also sets up a lava harvester to process the minerals and collects them using a magnet on a stick. The video ends with Josh expressing satisfaction with the operational efficiency of his creation, despite the game's performance issues.

Transcripts
hey there it's Josh welcome back to
Let's game it out we're playing some
Hyer today because they released a DLC
called journey to
volcalist and hey developers thank you
for a key so I can be a nuisance in your
game yet again our wild Journey Begins
as it always does in front of the ever
amazing Ember cradle where usually the
first thing I like to do is run on over
here to our trusty tools and explain how
the game works but we're going to save
that till we get to the DLC so let's get
our trusty vehicle here excuse me didn't
mean to hit you excuse me excuse me what
I was going to say is we need to go find
the DLC but obviously first thing we
need to do is pulverize a random
bystander who seems more than happy for
me to just roll them over again and
again anyway enough of that guy let's go
find the DLC and if I were DLC where
would I be would I be up here in this
mountain area didn't they say something
about a volcano come on game where is
this DLC oh you know what I think maybe
I figured it out well let's go then
onward to the DLC don't worry this will
just flip over on its own okay surely
this vehicle can just go all the way to
it
right oh I see now that I look around
I'm pretty sure that's what that boat is
for but I want to go over there with my
vehicle come on I can't seem to find a
place where I can break through well
maybe I can just drive this thing right
into what do you mean it won't fit in
there okay so be it if we go through
here we even see a little sign that
tells us not to do that which goes
against every fiber of my being but I'll
allow it this time just so we can get to
the DLC okay here we are a beautiful
ship all for us aren't we so lucky and
something tells me if we pull this lever
it's going to take us exactly where we
want to go yep that'll do it ah yes look
we're getting underway and everything
say goodbye to the island of whatever
this is called and then after a quick
loading screen say hello to our new
island volcano Ville here we come now
it's time for us to disembark wait can I
just pull this lever and then make it
off the boat let's find out no quickly
wait no no wait don't leave or do leave
I don't really care actually I'll be
seeing you and then another loading
screen back
oh I oh I see well here we are after all
under the ocean just like we wanted not
sure what I did but if we head over here
to the edge of the dirt am I going to be
able to just keep going or am I going to
fall off the Earth let's find out well I
guess that was to be expected ah
Fiddlesticks to put me back on the
mainland you win this round volcano
thingy I'll go ahead and play your game
of using the boat the right way hey and
while this beautiful Voyage is underway
let's talk about something else that's
beautiful and that's the new product by
displate sponsor of this video in case
you don't know displate creates posters
gloriously printed to a sheet of metal
they're beautiful and vibrant not to
menion sturdy see what did I tell you
they can really take a beating and now
displate has a new product line called
displate Textra which takes the metal
posters we know and love and gives them
3D Contours tactile textures and matte
and gloss effects here let me show you a
little bit better come here light I need
this look at this you can see the
Glorious lines the bumps The Contours
and there's hundreds of designs ready to
go with this texture option and they're
expanding it to even more and you can
tell right now on the website which ones
are Textra ready if they show this
little option right here and then you
can preview the whole thing in 3D I even
compared the ones I got to how they're
shown on the website and what you see is
pretty much what you're going to get oh
and by the way they're super easy to
mount with a magnet they provide and
they'll stay put here check out this
display I have from the game rust I've
had it on my wall for the last 5 months
and it's been perfectly in place thanks
to these two magnets and these other
ones I got are a smaller size so they
only need one magnet a piece look how
good that looks easy to mount easy to
adjust easy to love so if you like what
you see use my link in the description
and check out the selected designs you
can get right now with the new texture
finish and thanks again to display for
sponsoring and here we are finally in
the DLC being totally normal and having
not broken anything all right let's see
what's going on around here oh it's you
I'm surprised you're even alive in the
last episode I did I filled his entire
throne with dirt and then eventually
nukes and I thought that was that silly
me I guess I got to try harder this time
well let's greet you my le oh I'm being
pulled into a cut scene a cut scene
where I still have control over my
character as it turns out meanwhile the
guy's trying to explain to me how the
DLC works but meanwhile I'm in the
background just being distracting and
you might be wondering why I look this
way well stuff happen What happens if
while this guy is talking to me I just
open up the menu and I click
unstuck there's no oh I'm just gone and
I have no idea where I'm supposed to be
and then it zooms back out to where I am
as they continue to talk well that was
great I see that where they were is back
over here somewhere but I'm pretty sure
whatever they had to say couldn't have
been that important what is important is
that we have a fancy new vehicle one
that's absolutely going to wow us and
also appears to be fueled by lava oh boy
can't wait to see what Adventures await
us and it looks like the sign's going to
tell us everything we need to know
digging is that way well you don't have
to tell me twice or even once you're a
sign you can't talk and oh my goodness
here we are and there's the volcano and
let's see this sign right here says
either we can go to the right for
digging or to the left for volcano well
I think we know what we're doing we're
going up the volcano no question and
it's nice to see as I'm driving up here
that there's so much new stuff to look
at like look at this I uhoh uh we're
fine like look at this we've got lava
and more lava not to mention over here
we also have lava and then as we get up
even higher it looks like we have a big
giant lift that takes us up somewhere
what happens if we get under the lift
before it gets here
here okay and then it just pops you on
the platform I'll take it and here we
are at the top and how about that
there's even more lava up here as well
as a thing up ahead not really sure what
I'm looking at and if we go around the
side here it looks like there's also a
lever that if we pull it does nothing ah
whatever I'm sure in time we'll figure
out what this all means something tells
me it's going to be Anvil adjacent all
right well that was exciting let's get
out of here let's see if we can take a
more fun way down ah yes like this lava
fall which ooh looks like it could take
us all the way to this snow globe over
here so off we go oh let's do some
tricks while we're here like a sweet
cork screw before submerging ourselves
completely into the lava which you would
think would kill us but don't you worry
somehow we're just fine besides I'm
pretty sure his beautiful skin is immune
to everything okay and we'll take the
nice easy route I can see the dome in
the distance I think we're getting
closer oh I see there's a bridge I could
have been taking that's going to take us
to new Glade Shelter From The Elements
not sure why I would personally want
that I don't know it seems kind of nice
out here what do they have in there that
we don't have out here oh I guess it is
kind of nice and we can still hit people
so I guess everything's fine actually I
have a more pressing question can we
take these people and launch them out
into the elements oh boy can we where's
your shelter now how does it feel you
seem shockingly not concerned about any
of this I'm starting to think you guys
just like the dome but you certainly
don't seem like you need it here you go
fly into the water now have a nice
little cool off the same goes for us by
the way we don't seem to have a problem
with lava like when we jump on it sure
we bounce around a little bit but
overall if we stay in it we kind of get
used to it anyway let's do a quick tour
of this town first and foremost it looks
like there's a new interesting thing
which is this Museum which if we take a
gander looks like we can go inside and
collect dinosaur bones no not that old
guy like it looks like it might be some
kind of a go fetch some
[Music]
hydrocurl blah Museum return blah blah
blah BL one fossil which will get me 100
Scout Guild tokens which I don't really
know what those are but sure we can keep
an eye out for that and let's see what
else is happening around here what does
this store sell well it looks like we
have construction crates used to
construct stores in New Glade wait a
minute I have to make the town Jeweler
construction crate ticket office
construction crate if you make the
ticket office you can take the ship to
MZ Island to buy more Vehicles oh my
goodness a shiping all that stuff you
must be so excited about your job anyway
past this loser we have some more cool
stuff like this lava drill now we're
talking and this lava Harvester and the
most exciting thing here the task Board
Store task notes for easy display all by
50 thank you anyway that's pretty much
what this game is about digging and
Mining and stuff as you can see by this
other shop over here this furthers what
we're going to be doing we've got all
kinds of supplies like anvils and other
stuff like a gem cutter and this magnet
thingy and this bucket and pan as well
as building stuff a bed for crying in
stuff for people smarter than me and for
some of my personal favorites pipes
pipes and more pipes and as you can see
when we Mouse over them they move lava
around this is different than the base
game where you usually work with water
but it looks like here oops all lava oh
and I guess this thing in the center is
that thing that keeps the Dome up and
unfortunately try as I might the game
doesn't let you actually jump into the
middle and boy howdy do I want to oh and
in case you're curious no you can't
launch the villagers into it they just
bounce right off here let me help you
get back into the museum see there you
go and now that we've seen civilization
let's head back out into the hot cold
and see about some place where we can do
some mining gosh I should have been
paying attention I don't actually know
where I'm going wait never mind here's a
sign H let's see dig town or dig well
I've had enough town for now so let's go
check out this one and after a nice
uneventful drive we arrive at our
destination scoria chamber look at this
it has all the information we need to
know you use the shovel and you
spontanously combust but then I noticed
this they want me to pay for this no
thank you I'll be taking my goods
elsewhere and then instead of taking the
road we're going to take a shortcut so
that we can never truly get a sense of
where we are but I don't know this looks
promising it's the town of burville oh I
get it because it's cold here you're all
so clever but it's good to know this
place exists because here you can buy
conveyor belts and goodness knows I'm
going to want those oh now here's a
citizen I like doesn't talk to me looks
disappointed in me why can't everybody
be more like you anyway that's great and
all but I'm tired of driving around I
just want to do some sweet sweet digging
I know there's a free plot of land
around here somewhere there always is I
guess I should have listened to the guy
at the very beginning who was giving me
clear concise instructions but wait what
have I come across here what the heck is
this ooh looks like someone was murdered
out here let's see what is this a good a
hydroa or leg excellent I'll be sure to
turn this into the local authorities
later I'm just excited to have a piece
of a dead body in my truck oh wait I
found it here I am at the base of the
volcano where I went this way and it
turns out our starting thing is right
over here yep here we are at Beautiful
Dawn rest what a piece of crap but
whatever free is free and now I can do
my favorite part that I do every single
episode and explain how these things
work so here we start with our shovel
bucket and pan and also a torch
apparently and also a map but that would
require reading so here's how it works
we take our shovel and the bucket and
the pan and then we walk all this stuff
all the way closer to the lava we take
the old shovel scoop up whatever this is
dump it into the bucket and do this a
couple more times then drop that shovel
right on the ground pick up your bucket
drop that pile into the pan and then I'm
going to assume we pick up some lava
well let's find out well I think that
did it we can pick this up with our
hands right yep looks like we can and
then we take that lava drop the thing in
the thing and TAA amazing minerals okay
wait I got some questions now if I get
some more lava what happens if I just
dump it on the ice ooh look at that
there's a noticeable indentation that as
the Sun starts to set you can definitely
see it a little bit better well that's
all sorts of exciting I love the idea I
can affect everything without even using
the shovel does the same work the
opposite like if I take this stuff and
then I take it over to the lava does it
melt when I put it near the lava looks
like that's a yes or at least I think I
can still Place some ice here but no
further it looks like although as we get
closer to this side right here we can
get awfully close to the lava so even
though there's some boundaries they're
definitely not like hard boundaries in
fact I'm pretty sure that was more of a
border of our digging space and less
about the lava seeing as how I can just
drop this stuff right in and it doesn't
seem to have any problem with this WOW
Nature's crazy anyway once we have
minerals like this thing which in this
case is a big old thing of gold ore we
can float this thing out in front of us
stroll past our vehicle walk all the way
back to town and here we meet our best
friend the Jeweler staring vacantly off
into space and we walk up to them and
we're like M lad must be swimming in
tokens some all those tickets he sells
sir don't talk to me like we're friends
and then we throw it down on the table
which gives us a beautiful 5C and then
get away from them or else they're going
to keep talking push the big red button
and take our amazing earnings back into
my greedy little hands then turn around
and give this person one last look at
disain and then it's time to walk all
the way back five whole coins richer and
then I'm going to place that right on
the edge of the lava right here just to
keep it warm yeah there's no way I'm
going to lose that I mean clearly this
is all fine we don't seem to have a
problem picking up things that are
probably really really hot and we'll
just go over here and do this a whole
bunch more times and then we do this
process over and over again until this
turns into this it's mineral
Extravaganza I don't know what most of
this is and to top it off we're going to
give it a little
garnish yeah there we go now it just
looks like one big Clump and then back
to this guy don't do it don't say
anything okay good anyway look at that
one day I will buy shut up anyway we dug
up enough minerals to land us a cool
6,024 coins what a deal hey what's your
problem you didn't want the lava that's
okay consider this a tip from me to
you whatever I'm sure he's fine anyway
