    Hey guys, I'll keep this brief as it's pretty self-explanatory. Basically, you can forge underwater on Forge Island for some really cool visual effects.



    You get some really cool mist effects, which could look really cool for flood at the very least.

    The map previewed looked beautiful. It almost makes me want to make a flood map of my own down there, hahaha. That horse is going to be beaten down within a week, though.

    • He went to the dark blue patch of water in between the two largest islands.
    • He then held a respawn point and entered the water at the same time.
    • He then spawned in a foggy area which could be Forged in, and offered examples of extremely cool ominous maps!

    Holy crap, I have so many ideas now, and so little time before others get similar ideas and mine get called unoriginal.

    Haha. I had the exact same thought when I heard fog and trees...

    But anyway neat find. I'm sure we'll be seeing quite a few flood maps down there pretty soon.

    Well. I figured it would happen but I didn't think some one would figure it out this fast.

    I should have realized this was possible because, while making Desalination, which uses lots of the water, I lost some respawn points when dying while trying to place them (by hitting that water hard kill) and had to do a "delete all" to make sure none were down there. I guess now I know I should have experimented w/ trying to see if I could spawn in the ones I dropped.

    thanks for sharing

    The thick, mist filled forest that the flood live amongst awaits... Gosh, I get the creepies just thinking about playing on a map like that!

    am I correct in recalling that this is the only forge map that will let you get inside land masses and water?

    Thank you so much for discovering this. It is now a new mission of mine to make a cool Flood map over there. Keep me to that promise.
