My favorite part of Factorio is building something, like oil production, then checking how Nilaus does it and going, oh wow that would have been way easier
most of those bp's are just basic row building. i would say they are like top 10% when it comes to cost & space efficiency, and building time needed. If you play multiplayer for a while, you will find better ones here and there , but they wont change much anymore.
@@jackreacher6240 that's why I find building for peak efficiency super boring now. Once you optimize a build, you're pretty much done. It's more fun (and oddly harder) to build total spaghetti.
@@jackreacher6240 there's little reason to optumize path efficiency when it's pretty easy to just scale wider, so it doesn't surprise me that most people just use "good" bps rather than milspec ones.
They are blueprints and copy/paste. There are buttons on your hotbar and keyboard shortcuts to use them. Their purpose is for planning what you and/or your bot network are going to build.
Bursted out laughing when you said you'd like the option to expand this to potentialy be a megabase. I remember the good old days when we developed the ideas of city blocks and different designs, and the base in this video qualified as a real megabase. This game really has evolved over the years. Both the game and how we play it.
"Up to now things have been relatively simple" I just found this channel, and only about 200 hours in on Factorio, and my jaw is on the floor for all this, this is was more complex then anything i have ever touched.
Satisfactory feels like this too. If you need another one after this. Adds the fun of a 3rd building dimension. So now you want to make a factory that looks good and is efficient.
@@smackheadyeah, compared with Europa universalis 4 I feel that factorio is a simple game. It can get very deep depending on how hard you want to push it, but that is true even to Super Mario 64 with the whole parallel universes meme. Dwarf Fortress is so over the top complex that I can't even conceive it properly as I haven't played it.
I am genuinely impressed by how organized this base looks. I have 350 hours of playtime and my main buses are typically crammed spaghetti messes. There's so much to learn for me now. Great content!
I just want to say this: I've found your channel via your superb Factorio content. It's been months now since I've last played it (or watched any of your vids about it) since I was mostly interested in Satisfactory and Dyson Sphere Program (and your content about it of course) so just hearing "Welcome to Factorio, my name is Nilaus" hit me with incredible amount of nostalgia for some reason... Factorio truly affected me it seems (still just below 1k hours in it though).
Just saying, if you're making a "how to play Factorio" video, maybe don't pull out confusing blueprints and edit it so it's auto built. No beginner is gonna know what's happening and you lose like half your audience in the first quarter of the video.
It just sorts out Factorio and Cracktorio players. But to be honest if you name it differently it won't be found as often. So you loose some in the first quarter, but you started with more from the beginning.
(Speaking as a factorio player with 400+ hours)Just do what you want, no tutorials. The blueprints show how to make good production lines, but you should just do it yourself instead of looking a tutorials.
Agreed. At least a “blueprints explained here/at X minutes” on screen, just so that beginners know that an explanation is coming. There’s also that massive jump between starter base and Main Bus base. I have maybe a hundred hours in this, and even though I know he’s doing this for cramming as much info into 30 mins as possible, but that gigantic development and expansion made me want to uninstall.
Love the Factorio content! One thing I still have problems with lane balancers. I see you use other players blueprints, but I haven't seen a video from you explaining the basics and advance tips and tricks... Maybe future content?
Thank you for your dedication to the game! It opened a whole new level of complexity for me. I greatly made use of your blueprints, but also over time made a lot of adjustments, even replaced some designs with my own. In the end, it's about figuring out your own designs, and not to just mindlessly stamp down blueprints (at least for me). I'm glad to support you on Patreon as well. This is especially important because you cater to a very small niche of (hardcore) gamers. 😉 So please consider honoring this man's 7,000 hours of Factorio by becoming a Patreon. 👍😁
I've been watching your stuff for years, and thanks to your blueprints (which I can only find old outdated ones online), I was finally cable to launch my first rocket. Keep up the good work sir!
Honestly, as I write this comment, I'm only about half way through this video and it's all going way above my head and I love it! haha. It's so well organized, and I appreciate that for sure. I had a look at your playlist section too and my OCD was pleasantly surprised. I've been wanting to give factorio a playthrough since I enjoy satisfactory so much, and it's nice to have found a resource that will definitely be a benefit to helping me learn the in's and out's so much quicker. Cheers, and thank you for the content.
That was a bold title! But that was an incredibly well made summary, on top of being just basically a great table of contents for the master classes. Nice job!
First video of yours i've seen, and I am very happy to say that I have subscribed and will be following allong with your lets start automating series when I buy the full version of Factorio :D
Fantastic content. You have improved time and time again over the period I have watched you. Keep up the good work, you are still THE go-to guy for Factorio.
@@Dawnseeker_Ch Then he could try K2 + 248K . It is the new combo I found and it is quite interesting so far. I really like it. But I didn't know it was that stone hungry, or I would have increased size and frequency of Stone when I started haha!
Wow what an awesome video :) I wish this existed when I started with my first factory! Great production quality to get such a succinct summary! Thank you Nilaus
have 300+ hours and completed 4 savegames but i feel like i havent even started playing real factorio yet. watched this vid couple of times, much to learn! im guessing you are working on a video showing the next steps of proggression:)
I've been trying to follow along with the achievement run of Dyson Sphere program so I can get all the achievements myself but at a certain point in the videos it feels like your experience kicks in and you're able to ramp up and move on to further Technologies much faster than I can. Maybe a concise guide like this would benefit those of us who just want to get to a completed game at least once.
Not that I expected anything less, but this video really is a perfect tutorial on how to get from a-b without too much dip into the minutia. Thank you!
Finally I found you... When I tried to play for 1st time I completed the game but my base looked sooo messed up... After completing I started to make blueprint... To make my base to look organized... I designed some but it was not perfect but better than my 1st base... So I went to look for ideas in internet & I found your blueprint... It was soooooooooo organized... I copied & pasted in my file to do some testing... Man those blueprint drink resources like water... & every blueprint were so big for starters... I modified it, removed some & added some... Yet it supplies 20 lab... Without any problem Up-to military science... My entire base size was 7x7 chunk with all the defence... Then I wondered how this blueprint creator base look like... Man ur 4cross railway junction setup itself will took quarter of my base... Your base made me ask myself are you trying this games full potential ... Splitting materials using underground belt was simply brilliant... From ur blueprint I learned that... Thanks for those blue prints... It really helped a lot & made me to push my limits in this game... I will build my own big base... Thank you so much man... Have a great day...
wow man, ive been painstaking copying by zooming in on your stuff for awhile now. Just unlocked construction robots so i can use your actual blueprints finally. Always wondered who you were, glad to find you!
I have waited for two weeks to comment, because I didn't know what to say. I wish you would change your mind. I just started playing. Your videos have greatly contributed to my learning this superb game. I'm very, very sorry you won't be making any more videos. Maybe you feel you have said all there is to say about it, but it's okay to say them all again. I believe this game may be one of the all-time greats for replayability. I can, and have, watched hours and hours of yours and others play. I learn something new every time. No doubt I will if you ever come back and do another series. In fact, there is one more you should do. No one has done a tutorial on the tutorial. lol I wish you well, but also selfishly wish you would do more. Congratulations on a well done channel.
Thank you for the kind words. I have nothing left to do in Factorio and replaying would yield exactly the same base as I have already done. For me Factorio is solved and more time will not yield any significant changes. If I plaay more I will burn out, so I'd rather take a break and when (if) the DLC releases then be motivated to return
@@Nilaus I burned out at 3400 hours. It is still probably the best game I have though. I will probably wait for a DLC if and when it is released as well.
Of course I want a single mega base video. As well as angels and bobs, AAI, Factorissimo, Krastorio. Love your content, man, and have for a long time! Keep 'em comin'!
Thats a really nice overview that I enjoyed watching. Even with my own ~1200h playtime. A megabase version of this video would also be much appreciated :)
You have really industrialized playstyle. That productivity and efficiency are incredible to watch. I have maybe half of your hours but I have consumed them to invent basic things all again (most with Bob's & Angel's). It would be nice to see a series with Bob's & Angel's mods but I understand that it may be difficult to make interesting and profitable videos with such slow paced game.
One extremely useful thing I did for water was to create a landfill block that had small gaps. This means that they cover most of a lake but leave a little water available for use by reactors or other water-needing megabase components. You only need a few such gaps, and if you put them in the area between city blocks, you find that it only takes a little bit of planning to get water where it is needed.
Cool seeing the base come together at that kind of scale of production. I do like the organisation of it all... and some great ideas in there for modular development. I think though for my own play I would still prefer heavy space and logistic constraints to force exploration and building extensive resource networks.
Great video, very helpful! I just finished a tutorial after 17 hours and can’t wait to try my first main bus design and end up in a spaghetti factory yay But seriously, that’s a good overview of how to approach the game. Surprised that people expected more details, like I don’t really need a video to tell me how to build production segments, I’d like to figure it out myself, but a bigger picture tutorial on what and when to prioritize is exactly what I as a beginner want to see. Thanks again, great content
you're still one of the best tutorial people on RUclips. I started watching you as a guide to help me understand automation and engineering mechanics and now I just enjoy watching youfor entertainment regardless of what I learn or already know. Thanks for all your videos!
I’m almost positive that I’ve spent more time watching Nilaus factorio videos than I’ve spent actually playing factorio. Thanks for all the great content!!
alright so.. I have just bought this game and you have blown my mind within 2 minutes. well done, I guess I am off to a big adventure in this game haha
Thanks Nilaus. I never really liked your city blocks, but heck this is still just such a superb base, your blueprints are so spot on, I and the neatness is so ohoh. I may go back and start again.
Watching this just makes me more excited for the expansion. Atm, I'm kind of "factorio'd out" (only took 2000 hours, yes, I'm a noob"). Despite how well designed the game is (mostly), I think you can hit a plateau.
thank you for the video, which shows a condensed view to the game for experienced players. hope to see a 2nd part how to proceed once the first rocket has launched.
I have 3200 hours under my belt, but in all my plays, I never actually got around to trying a city block style base. I've seen them, sure, but this video may actually inspire me to try one myself. Do you have any videos about determining how big your block should be? Thanks, this was a neat video!
@@ArnonJr why would you assume I hate him? I love his ideas when coming up with solutions, his calm demeanor and I happen to like seablock which offers a lot of room for solutions 🙃
@@trolltv3722 its not a trivial playthrough and not a lot of people would be that versed with seablock playthroughs; its not like theres a shortage of seablock videos on youtube. The theoretically low number of people who would actually watch seablock guides doesnt justify the disproportionate amount of effort needed to complete such a series. Or you can drop plenty in his Patreon and he might notice your request.
Wow, just 6:30 that you are not slotting in ads is such a nice decision. Have subscribed now which i might not have done were there many ads, so i think its working.
Very crisp! I think a good follow-up could focus on the science per minute benchmark. First with the 60/90/150/294 progression and then where you could go from there. What bottlenecks you might face like when you need to switch to remote smelting and production and then finally move science production away from the original base, also energy needs and implications for FPS/UPS. It might give players reasonable goals for their bases so they don't get overwhelmed by taking on a larger project than they planned on.
That's a really good process you've figured out, but I wouldn't recommend that anyone follow it step by step. Most of the fun is in figuring it out for yourself
As a fresh player, just started a month after DLC release, the BEST advice I can give: Defense and a basic mall (for the defense, prior to any other automation) is the most important, even when it doesn't seem so in the beginning.
I played this game for a couple of months before this game officially released. I couldn’t keep playing because it would crash my computer. My computer is a 2014 build that was mid grade then. I don’t have the money to get a better computer but I enjoy watching videos. I didn’t know the game has expanded so much. Seems so much more complicated now. Once I get my debts paid off I’ll prioritize getting a new desktop so I can see all the interesting additions to the game.
bruh!!! the sheer scale of everything in just the first 7 minutes made it feel daunting!! i thhought this is gonna be a more professional minecraft, not industrial megaleviathan
This is why you are the only youtuber I actually pressed the "Join" button. You don't plug products ever and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU for that Nilaus. Thank you for being a Geniune Human-Being, while entertaining, educating, and enchanting us. God blessed You!
I've got almost half as many logged hours as Nilaus does, but a very small proportion of his insight and inventiveness. I'm currently on a ribbon world playthrough (144 tiles wide) and using a lot of the master-class blueprints. The extra fun comes from supplying them, not from a bus but from trains. To this end, I've adapted a three-lane rail idea that I found in the Nauvis Post-Apocalypse scenario. The outside two are one way, but there are frequent crossovers onto the middle two-way rail. It seems to be working quite well. @Nilaus: thanks for all the Factorio content over the years; I hope you aren't bored with it yet!
Dine cityblocks er super for os med OCD for fuld smadder ... ;) Kanon sammendrag ... Har fulgt dig de sidste 4-5 år og brugt mange af dine ideer i mit eget spil. Tak fordi du tog os med igen.
I've wanted this game for so long, just haven't had the time to actually sit down and play a long game like this.......then .... GAMERANX just put out a video with Factorio in it, and it reignited my interest. 😁
It was like watching Rome being built from a concord. Impossible for a newbie but good info for the seasoned player. I always enjoy your content. I'm watching your Oxygen Not Included series on your TV (twitch replay YT) channel. When I catch up I'll come visit on stream sometime.
very interesting and very entertaining video, mustve watched through it 3 or 4 times now. I get stuck with 1 lane of copper and 1 lane of iron, and while i train in a lot of green circuits, i get starved for red and blue circuits to the point i kinda stop playing. Very interesting to see how many lanes of each you use. I would also love to see this expanded into the mega base you mentioned... ive never gotten that far :D
how to play factorio: you either do your own spaghetti base, where you play on your own, or you use blueprints which can lead do "is it really my base?"
way more than that. 30h to build the base. Then 15h to set up the situations from save games for recording raw material. And then comes the edit and narration. It was an attempt by me to make a video that takes a lot more effort, to see if it also generates a lot more views. It did
lovely condensed info given here. and a near 28 hour runs not bad with all these blueprints. my own usualy runs a few hours longer. tho its been a few years since i last played. now to napkin math~ to match your hours played. one would need some 3.2 YEARS of 365 6 hour days. thats a heck of a lot of gaming~ congrats on your series and heres to many many more.
Have you ever considered doing a series on the space exploration mod. I’d be interested to see how you tackle a lot of the logistics involved in that mod
The title kinda made this sound like a tutorial, but it's definitely not. I'm glad I didn't stumble upon this when I was trying to learn the game... Great stuff.
I was thinking about getting this game, watched the first 2 minutes, then turned it off and got the demo to try out and I knew I needed to get the full game. I got the full game on Sunday (currently Friday), and I’ve already got one completed run, and almost 50 hours of playtime. Safe to say this game is addictive.
You are so damn experienced I can't keep up in the slightest, oh yeah 16 coal smelters and 30 other items is good to start with now make huge blueprints for power systems enough to supply a small country, can you make a more in depth video on the very beginning cause my base is a disorganized mess and I can't learn anything about base building from this
It's rather rare that I watch a video that encourages and discourages me at the same time. Just 8 hours into Factorio and I really want to go on but at the same time I don't xD
The solar power pattern overlaps so you have far fewer accumulators than the ratio should have, with 4 of those in a grid it goes from .875 ratio to .67 (ideal being .84), I'm presuming it gets even lower and approaches some limit as you add more. Just thought I would mention that as it's quite a large gap from the ideal ratio and I thought maybe you missed that

Maybe you feel you have said all there is to say about it, but it's okay to say them all again. I believe this game may be one of the all-time greats for replayability. I can, and have, watched hours and hours of yours and others play. I learn something new every time. No doubt I will if you ever come back and do another series. In fact, there is one more you should do. No one has done a tutorial on the tutorial. lol I wish you well, but also selfishly wish you would do more. Congratulations on a well done channel.
Thank you for the kind words. I have nothing left to do in Factorio and replaying would yield exactly the same base as I have already done. For me Factorio is solved and more time will not yield any significant changes.
If I plaay more I will burn out, so I'd rather take a break and when (if) the DLC releases then be motivated to return
@@Nilaus I burned out at 3400 hours. It is still probably the best game I have though. I will probably wait for a DLC if and when it is released as well.
Of course I want a single mega base video. As well as angels and bobs, AAI, Factorissimo, Krastorio. Love your content, man, and have for a long time! Keep 'em comin'!
Thats a really nice overview that I enjoyed watching. Even with my own ~1200h playtime. A megabase version of this video would also be much appreciated :)
You have really industrialized playstyle. That productivity and efficiency are incredible to watch. I have maybe half of your hours but I have consumed them to invent basic things all again (most with Bob's & Angel's).
It would be nice to see a series with Bob's & Angel's mods but I understand that it may be difficult to make interesting and profitable videos with such slow paced game.
He has done multiple series with Bob's and Angel's mods in the past. Check his old videos.
2 minutes in the video this man got more advanced than what i would ever imagine i would get to
the idea of scale up builds is great. I always overthink so much before I start building, its bigger time sink than a character creation screen
One extremely useful thing I did for water was to create a landfill block that had small gaps. This means that they cover most of a lake but leave a little water available for use by reactors or other water-needing megabase components. You only need a few such gaps, and if you put them in the area between city blocks, you find that it only takes a little bit of planning to get water where it is needed.
Loved when I got to 50 seconds into the video and you where already passed my hour 3 progress. Very pog
Cool seeing the base come together at that kind of scale of production. I do like the organisation of it all... and some great ideas in there for modular development. I think though for my own play I would still prefer heavy space and logistic constraints to force exploration and building extensive resource networks.
Great video, very helpful! I just finished a tutorial after 17 hours and can’t wait to try my first main bus design and end up in a spaghetti factory yay
But seriously, that’s a good overview of how to approach the game. Surprised that people expected more details, like I don’t really need a video to tell me how to build production segments, I’d like to figure it out myself, but a bigger picture tutorial on what and when to prioritize is exactly what I as a beginner want to see. Thanks again, great content
you're still one of the best tutorial people on RUclips. I started watching you as a guide to help me understand automation and engineering mechanics and now I just enjoy watching youfor entertainment regardless of what I learn or already know. Thanks for all your videos!
that was epicly done! Nilaus you're a bedrock of youtube and of factorio community.
I’m almost positive that I’ve spent more time watching Nilaus factorio videos than I’ve spent actually playing factorio. Thanks for all the great content!!
alright so.. I have just bought this game and you have blown my mind within 2 minutes. well done, I guess I am off to a big adventure in this game haha
No sponsor, and amazing quality video. Legendary work. Im considering to buy factorio myself and play
Very cool, your videos got me into factorio and I still love to play along to your vids.
Thanks Nilaus. I never really liked your city blocks, but heck this is still just such a superb base, your blueprints are so spot on, I and the neatness is so ohoh.
I may go back and start again.
Watching this just makes me more excited for the expansion.
Atm, I'm kind of "factorio'd out" (only took 2000 hours, yes, I'm a noob"). Despite how well designed the game is (mostly), I think you can hit a plateau.
I hit that plateau at 80 hours lol, I just burned out for some reason and couldn't continue playing it.
"only took 2000 hours, yes, I'm a noob"
How encouraging
thank you for the video, which shows a condensed view to the game for experienced players. hope to see a 2nd part how to proceed once the first rocket has launched.
Yes please do more on this. Definitely will be styling my play off this. Absolutely love city block trains. 1 of my favorite parts of the game..
didnt know it would be possible to shorten the whole base in a book progression to 30min in an understandable way lol, impressive as always.
Great video, id really like to see a sequel. Also thank you providing so many hours of entertainment. Really appreciate it.
I have 3200 hours under my belt, but in all my plays, I never actually got around to trying a city block style base. I've seen them, sure, but this video may actually inspire me to try one myself. Do you have any videos about determining how big your block should be?
Thanks, this was a neat video!

I'd love to see another take on seablock :)
why you hate nilaus?
@@ArnonJr why would you assume I hate him? I love his ideas when coming up with solutions, his calm demeanor and I happen to like seablock which offers a lot of room for solutions 🙃
@@trolltv3722 its not a trivial playthrough and not a lot of people would be that versed with seablock playthroughs; its not like theres a shortage of seablock videos on youtube. The theoretically low number of people who would actually watch seablock guides doesnt justify the disproportionate amount of effort needed to complete such a series.
Or you can drop plenty in his Patreon and he might notice your request.
@@trolltv3722 it is a joke man
@@alfredong6850 if it were a trivial playthough why would you want to watch it?
This is gonna be some kind of starting guide for new player, especially after the expansion pack is out!
A new Nilaus/Factorio video has reminded me it's been a bit since I've played this game - too long in fact.
Incredible amount of work/detail in one vid! ♥️
Wow, just 6:30 that you are not slotting in ads is such a nice decision. Have subscribed now which i might not have done were there many ads, so i think its working.
Nicely edited. Very clear and concise
Very crisp! I think a good follow-up could focus on the science per minute benchmark. First with the 60/90/150/294 progression and then where you could go from there. What bottlenecks you might face like when you need to switch to remote smelting and production and then finally move science production away from the original base, also energy needs and implications for FPS/UPS. It might give players reasonable goals for their bases so they don't get overwhelmed by taking on a larger project than they planned on.
That's a really good process you've figured out, but I wouldn't recommend that anyone follow it step by step. Most of the fun is in figuring it out for yourself
Watching this makes me want to play tonight and start a new base!
As a fresh player, just started a month after DLC release, the BEST advice I can give: Defense and a basic mall (for the defense, prior to any other automation) is the most important, even when it doesn't seem so in the beginning.
this video is so fucking amazing. literally everthing i have been looking for in one, you are the MAN.
I played this game for a couple of months before this game officially released. I couldn’t keep playing because it would crash my computer. My computer is a 2014 build that was mid grade then.
I don’t have the money to get a better computer but I enjoy watching videos.
I didn’t know the game has expanded so much. Seems so much more complicated now. Once I get my debts paid off I’ll prioritize getting a new desktop so I can see all the interesting additions to the game.
i dont think its your hardware it has to do something with the software try to update all the redist
@@championof7seas294 it was the computer.
@@DAMitAlI can you play it now?
I am hungry for more factorio content.
Love that i found you, really helped out, because the greater plan was very chaotic for me in the midgame
bruh!!! the sheer scale of everything in just the first 7 minutes made it feel daunting!! i thhought this is gonna be a more professional minecraft, not industrial megaleviathan
This is why you are the only youtuber I actually pressed the "Join" button. You don't plug products ever and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU for that Nilaus. Thank you for being a Geniune Human-Being, while entertaining, educating, and enchanting us.
God blessed You!
I've got almost half as many logged hours as Nilaus does, but a very small proportion of his insight and inventiveness. I'm currently on a ribbon world playthrough (144 tiles wide) and using a lot of the master-class blueprints. The extra fun comes from supplying them, not from a bus but from trains. To this end, I've adapted a three-lane rail idea that I found in the Nauvis Post-Apocalypse scenario. The outside two are one way, but there are frequent crossovers onto the middle two-way rail. It seems to be working quite well.
@Nilaus: thanks for all the Factorio content over the years; I hope you aren't bored with it yet!
This video is a masterpiece! WOW!
Great Nilaus. I very like your way of thinking in this game. My likes and subscription all to you. :)
“After 7,000 hours I feel I have some knowledge to make a full guide for this game.”
I dunno… cutting it awful close there 🤣
i hope you continue doing more videos of factorio, is basicaly an infinite game, you can try to do some challenges or things to innovate the content
Dine cityblocks er super for os med OCD for fuld smadder ... ;)
Kanon sammendrag ... Har fulgt dig de sidste 4-5 år og brugt mange af dine ideer i mit eget spil.
Tak fordi du tog os med igen.
I've wanted this game for so long, just haven't had the time to actually sit down and play a long game like this.......then .... GAMERANX just put out a video with Factorio in it, and it reignited my interest. 😁
It was like watching Rome being built from a concord. Impossible for a newbie but good info for the seasoned player.
I always enjoy your content. I'm watching your Oxygen Not Included series on your TV (twitch replay YT) channel. When I catch up I'll come visit on stream sometime.
Nilaus: 7000 hours of hitting rocks with his car and laying brick roads for his city blocks. Wow what a pro. 😂
very interesting and very entertaining video, mustve watched through it 3 or 4 times now. I get stuck with 1 lane of copper and 1 lane of iron, and while i train in a lot of green circuits, i get starved for red and blue circuits to the point i kinda stop playing. Very interesting to see how many lanes of each you use. I would also love to see this expanded into the mega base you mentioned... ive never gotten that far :D
Hell yeah! I don't know if it is possible to make it more perfect!
This game's biggest challenge is effective automation.
Good work
how to play factorio: you either do your own spaghetti base, where you play on your own, or you use blueprints which can lead do "is it really my base?"
My guy really just played 8-20 hours just to make us an 30 minute video. Thank you
way more than that. 30h to build the base. Then 15h to set up the situations from save games for recording raw material. And then comes the edit and narration. It was an attempt by me to make a video that takes a lot more effort, to see if it also generates a lot more views. It did
lovely condensed info given here. and a near 28 hour runs not bad with all these blueprints. my own usualy runs a few hours longer. tho its been a few years since i last played.
now to napkin math~
to match your hours played. one would need some 3.2 YEARS of 365 6 hour days. thats a heck of a lot of gaming~
congrats on your series and heres to many many more.
Came back to the game after a few years and all my design and ratio are off. Glad you made this,
hope this series does well so we can see more!
Great to see more factorio. Can you do another for your megabase-in-a-book?
Have you ever considered doing a series on the space exploration mod. I’d be interested to see how you tackle a lot of the logistics involved in that mod
The title kinda made this sound like a tutorial, but it's definitely not. I'm glad I didn't stumble upon this when I was trying to learn the game... Great stuff.
Always wanted a video that helped me with understanding the factorio meta
I was thinking about getting this game, watched the first 2 minutes, then turned it off and got the demo to try out and I knew I needed to get the full game.
I got the full game on Sunday (currently Friday), and I’ve already got one completed run, and almost 50 hours of playtime. Safe to say this game is addictive.
You are so damn experienced I can't keep up in the slightest, oh yeah 16 coal smelters and 30 other items is good to start with now make huge blueprints for power systems enough to supply a small country, can you make a more in depth video on the very beginning cause my base is a disorganized mess and I can't learn anything about base building from this
Go watch YamaKara, he does a much better job explaining things from the very start of the game.
It's rather rare that I watch a video that encourages and discourages me at the same time. Just 8 hours into Factorio and I really want to go on but at the same time I don't xD
The solar power pattern overlaps so you have far fewer accumulators than the ratio should have, with 4 of those in a grid it goes from .875 ratio to .67 (ideal being .84), I'm presuming it gets even lower and approaches some limit as you add more. Just thought I would mention that as it's quite a large gap from the ideal ratio and I thought maybe you missed that
