Hot tub water physics?

TL;DRHot tub water physics is still with the engine team, who are building planetary water, and water inside a ship's physics grid won't be in 3.3; whether it happens depends on time and resources.

So the water physics is actually something that the engine team is working on, because they're making water for the planets. So that's not something that's going to be in 3.3 right now.

We haven't actually attempted to do it. I was asking about that before we even started. I'm like, how are we doing the water? We don't have that yet, so just wait. And then attaching it to a ship was even beyond that. So I was like, all right, well, I guess I'll just make a tub then and we'll wait, and I'll just keep maybe water volume, or however you guys want to handle it, in mind, the different ways to do water.

And just to head off any misunderstandings, Hosmer is not saying that water won't be in 3.3. He's saying that the hot tub water won't be in 3.3.

Water attached to a ship.

Water inside a ship will not be in 3.3.

Putting water inside of a ship's internal physics grid.

Oh yeah, it's going to be fun, especially in zero G. To answer that zero G portion, I want to see that. I think we all want to see that.

It'll be a question about whether we have the time and the resources to dedicate to that. I think we can safely say everybody wants to see the water rise out of that.

I want to see how many people drown in the zero G water hot tub. It's just a matter of time.
