I love how different your approach to fulgura is than mine. Partially because you went to fulgura at a different point in your journey, partly because of how map gen happened, and part just because you're another person. They really got an interesting game design with a lot of flexibility and creativity available.
>I haven't been hit by a lightning a single time. >I never got hit, but that makes sense, have you seen me drive a train before? >I'm a pretty bad conductor You owe me a new keyboard, my previous one shortened because of you :(
You are one of the only people making space age videos that are edited and easy to watch. All the others are either way too slow or just 100x speed. Thanks!!
Give it some time until all the creators made it through and are proficient in all the new mechanics. Depending on your approach, it's a 80-300h playtime per run 😅
Watching this series while im waiting for my computer to be able to play myself. Been loving it so far and I love the pace of the videos, not having everything all at once is really nice.
Your vids don't spoil my runs too much because I cannot for the life of me figure out your approach to trains and circuits so I always end up doing something different lmao
I've recently found the motivation to start my first factorio run ever. Thanks to the content being put out by awesome creators like you and mike. Have a great day!!
I’m in the same boat as you. I’ve only ever gotten to red and green science in some preliminary test runs, but never up to blue until now. It’s daunting but it’ll be fun!
you could have sped up early fulgora power by calling down ice and carbon for steam power. your space platform just sits above you anyway, it may as well provide some resources while not travelling. some iron could simplify crafting, too, depending on how the platforms ammo reserves work out.
Between Vulcanus and Fulgora for a first planet, I'm very glad I chose Vulcanus. Big drill, foundry, cliff explosives, they all make Fulgora much much easier.
I wouldnt mind factorio making fuel work differently. The way its made is fine, but it should happen on a planets surface or cost extra resources / prep time on the spaceship (like so much that you would need a 10x larger ship to not suffer low fuel or bad ammo production mid flight). A cool way would be making fuel then letting it settle removing impurities. It could happen when above planets or during flight, but would take considerably longer happning faster while stopped or on surface. Consecutive flights between planets would happen less frequently and take longer without propper fuel production on the surface.
@@princedest1ny trains gotta get refueled the platforms create thier own fuel sure you might have to setup infrastructure ,but still free travel. Atleast making the small asteroids deal minimal damage could make repair packs (tbh idk if they can be crafted in space played too much modded recently if they cant its a reason to send stuff up) more neccesarry causing ammo / fuel shortages with the extra materials used up on defence / repair. That could make restocking via rocket launch a good idea if you need the platforms to go indefinatly
so you will never reach the shattered planet. you need many HOURS for travel, and if you can make a stock in advance for such a long journey, then why do we need supply mechanics on planets at all?
@@AndrewBezdenezhnykh Because there are things other planets produce more efficiently. I mean there are the upgraded fuel recipes so it would be just depending on how large of a buffer you allow yourself the rest of the fuel could still be make on the ship. As for reaching that planet that i dont know anything about it could be the endgame as in needing a huge ship that stockpiles fuel and also generates it on the trip to not get stuck in space (making you get attracted back to planets could be cool too if you run out of thrust while not more than halfway to your destination this could also work in your favor after halfway). This would in fact enhance supply mechanics as you would have to supply not only the stuff you want to transport, but also the ship or risk slower / unsuccessful travels if you still get pulled to the planet after you run out of fuel and now cant make fuel and ammo fast enough, but are still moving you could lose the ship y know. Perhaps depending on solar could be nerfed too if you start taking hits its power gen could go down by idk space dust damaging and covering them. So supplying fuel for power generation could be a thing you need to do too for safer travel
I’ve needed to get around to watching this video but I’ve been really busy, every time RUclips has been opened this is always the first result, thank you algorithm
Can you make a tutorial video (or blueprints) for an efficient single rail two way train system that can handle multiple trains. This will be particularly useful for Fulgora.
Read belt, if it has 8 items (max), take from it. Since the input belt gets split up, there's never 8 items on one piece of belt at a time, unless it's backed up.
Regarding lightning on Fulgora: The first thing I did was test a lightning strike by waiting just outside the attractor on the starting island until I got hit, so I'd know how much damage it would deal. I actually got lucky (in hindsight) by getting hit during my first night, thanks to which I can confirm that lightning isn't actually very dangerous. It wasn't even close to getting through my energy shields.
- Data log: It's been 2 weeks without a DocJade video. I've been stranded on Gleba the entire time. I don't understand how I'm supposed to do anything on this planet. I keep trying to just mine the resources from the ground like the good ole' days, but they're scarce. These scary 5 legged creates walk around, but mostly ignore me. I thought they would be a threat like the biters, but I guess I was wrong. Maybe someday I'll figure out what I'm supposed to do here. Until then, I continue to wait for DocJade to save me with a video about how this crazy planet works. - End data log
I chose Fulgora as my first planet to explore. I didn't know you could just call drop pods to land on the planet from the space platform and thought you had to have the landing pad. Looks like I'm redoing the last 2 hours of my playthrough.
i feel like if youre doing something on vulcanus that requires heat, like using a furnace, it should be faster, or more efficient or something (unless that is already the case)
I'm still wondering what the best way to get iron plates is on Fulgora. I originally also made them out of gears, mostly because I found that the recycler spat out *sooo many of them* that I had to get rid of a bunch of them. But now I'm wondering if there's some other items that I could scrap which would have better yeild. Also I got all my plastic from red circuits which was funny but eventually I'll probably find a way to make plastic out of the *ocean* of heavy oil on that planet.
What the fresh hell is that automall blueprint? There's so many wires and I don't even know what it does. I assume it somehow makes X parts on demand but dear god. Also what mod or setting makes your bots have lines to them like that? 2:06 5:36 LOL that name.
Was kinda hoping Fulgora would have some kind of ancient, automated defense or AI robot enemies that right you to defend the ruins of their creators. They build their own factories to fight fire with fire.
0:50 My PC looped the "but it will be fine" 3 times for some reason. Was about to call you out on it, as it looping half a second of video like that is a pre-cursor of a full system crash (on Linux). But apparently it was my laptop actually almost crashing, or at least hanging for a second, but it still let me complete the video, so it was fine after all.
Great video - I have 380 hours and have never watched anyone else play so am learning a LOT... I have a question if anyone could answer please: At 4:44 , why are the inserters connected to the belts by circuit (with the yellow box on the belt)? What is the circuit logic and what is it doing?
@@wafflespawn the DLC was made by some of the Space Exploration developers. And the planet scale may not be as diverse as that or Warptorio for instance. But it is very good and difficult. It isn't just Nauvis times 10. Each planet is entirely different. Also because of the huge patch, most if not all mods need updating as well. It's really all up to you.
Rather than trying to magnify the play time and the complexity of crafting chains like most overhaul mods, including SE, Space Age is more focused on giving interesting new mechanics to play with that need completely new approaches to solve. I expect that the new mechanics added for Space Age will get put to great use in various mods, especially SE, since most of the complicated stuff that it did is now built into the engine leaving more resources available for adding more content.
@@angeldude101 Which is was I was super hype for this dlc to come out, in factory games there is a fine line where I quickly lose enjoyment playing when it comes to overhaul mods. Once it becomes way too microcrafty and things feel padded for the sake of time I get bored / burnt out real easily. I love the idea of SE as a mod overhaul but I always get burned out before I get to space every playthrough ive done. Im glad this is more vanilla balanced and the unique challenges each planet has keeps me engaged.
@@ThunderhunterFTW The efficiency of the panels is related to the distance your platform is to the sun, fulgora is further away from the sun than Nauvis is meaning that as you fly away their efficiency decreases. With accumulators you can carry some of that power with you and also deal with increases in power demand when your furnaces and assemblers make ammo to shoot incoming asteroids.
omg just the fact i can turn off the lightning graphics i feel like I already got value from clicking on this video.I was considering filling every empty space with lights

Gleba being locked behind landfill is funny to me for a different reason, as "gleba" in my native language translates to soil or dirt.
LOL We live on Earth, Terra, Gleba!!! (all native language names for soil or dirt) We named our planet DIRT!! In so many languages!
Is your native language Polish or Czech perchance?
Gleba is latin. It means cultivable soil and it directly transferred into Italian and Polish.

Caught the idiocracy reference at 10:30, "Its what plants crave!"
Wasn’t expecting this to be a sequel to the one train video
Thought it was more interesting than a normal base... but it caused some... issues... in the gleba episode
After playing on Fulgora, seeing you scrap excess blue circuits just to make more blue circuits in an electro plant is WILD.

Beating Fulgora with no iron plates to bring... makes it a "Forgora"
I’ve needed to get around to watching this video but I’ve been really busy, every time RUclips has been opened this is always the first result, thank you algorithm
On fulgora you have infinite heavy oil, so make your solid fuel out of that instead of light oil
I am actually stupid I didnt even consider that

Love the conductor joke.
"what magnetic plants crave"
I cannot believe you made that joke
after watching others use only belts or only bots, i thought it cant get more complicated. You made it with trains

I went to Fulgora first without yellow or purple science (read: no elevated rails). I do not recommend as the majority of scrap is on small islands.
