- upon a rock I sat and thought
that bass and beat might syncopate
a thousand hours distilled down
a pleasing vid I sought to make

The dude just wakes up some morning and starts thinking "the project is to build a base, make my own music and put some sick verses onto it and make it a video" and proceeds to make this vision a reality in a phenomenal manner. Man, fantastic work as always, years go by but there's one constant and that's you pushing the limits further beyond each time.
Even after 10+ years, this man still surprises me.
One person's starter base is another's endgame build. I'm thoroughly impressed by the edit, the music, the rapping, the build, the precision, just everything about you Zisteau. Thank you so much!
Zisteau's starter bases are what a lot of people end their game with.
Starter Base. Starter Base. Starter Base. Starter Base....
I figured the song part would end at some point and it just. _Kept._ *_Going._*
Crank that (starter) BASS!
ZISTEAU! Guys, it's a Zisteau video!
Finish it this time, Z! Do it for The Lens!
Return of the King.
That was very Zisteau. Hope to see more
There's some real ZPM energy to this. It's that same no-assumptions creativity.
I can't even begin to imagen the amount of time and effort to build, capture video and edit all this. S tier.
"don't stray far or Icarus fable" that's a good one
I Keep thinking that, eventually, he's going to have to do something he's done before. ... nope ... he keeps finding something new to do... WITH STYLE!
Hey, Z! Thiis is a cool video. I watched it and remembered A LOT of moments form Mindcrack gamaplay of yours. So much nastalgia... THANK YOU for those moments. I am a 42yo man from Ukraine, with wife and 3 kids, and all mindcrack creators were with me for last 10+ years giving me so much entertainment and joy. My kindest regards!
This has some serious 'The Nethack Song' energy. I love it.
So, for the uber-huge literature nerds out there like me, this would technically be trochaic tetrameter, not iambic. In iambs, the stressed beat follows the unstressed, but in a trochee, the stressed beat comes first. Just a touch of trivia for the day!
It is almost entirely iambic as written, with some exceptions, I just don't always emphasize the stressed syllable strongly. But yeah there are a number of times I break the rules for various reasons.
Iambic-inning to think Zisteau knows what he's talking about...
You know he's committed when the description is also to the beat! I was sad at the lack of uploads but if this is what happens when you wait 7 months then I'm all for it honestly, so cool!
Bruh seeing this makes me feel like the last 6-7 years have been a bad dream and I’m waking up and realizing it was a dream.
Amazing job on the base and superb video about it, Z!
👏🏼
Very neatly put together! Thank you for that awesome work!
This is fantastic. Couldn't even guess how long this must have taken you to get it to rhyme properly
6 months apparently.
Ficsit when they find a new planet: If I fic, I sit.
i did not have an avantgarde rap from zisteau on my bingo card but that's on me i can see that now
Finally. The hot jam of the summer has dropped.
The hermit's from hermit craft have invaded satisfactory
Zisteau, I've been following you for some ten years now, and your content never ceases to amaze.
Holy shit.
I literally just finished rewatching your previous Satisfactory series as well!
Long time viewer, and will always continue to watch this amazing content.
Zisteau plays Minecraft #94 when?
I’m never going to unsubscribe just on the off chance he starts Minecraft again.
Great to see you back with a video. Well done!
Well I didn't know what an *iambic tetrameter* was so I just went down the wikipedia rabbit hole. "iambic tetrameter consists of four metra, each metron being of the form | x - u - |, consisting of a spondee and an iamb, or two iambs". Don't you love it when you ask a question and the answer just brings more questions with it?
Best YT video this year
really enjoyed that
Perfection!
Oh I get it, Zisteau spent 5 years playing a particular game and another previous 15 years or so developing a particular reputation to lay the framework for a single music video: Ballad of the Starter Base
Does this mean Zisteau is alive and well and will make some new youtube series soon?
This is why I stay subbed . Every video is a carefully crafted 3 course meal for the brian .
The Brian’s across the would are fed well
I suggested they get this song licensed and add it as a cassette ingame :D
Incredible
That was a work of art. Thanks.
A pleasure, as always, to see your work dude. Amazing edit, love the tunes, and if this is you announcing more videos I'm extremely excited! Best of luck with your efforts!!
it is impossible to overstate the effort Zisteau puts into his videos time and time again. I miss the days of frequent uploads, but man does this guy know how to use his time to create something magnificent and worth the wait.
"Holy shit !"

There are two things you can be sure of when Z brings us a video. He put a ridiculous amount of work into it. And without viewing a second of it you know it will be awesome.
Other than that, all bets are off. You know, like a box of chocolates.
The best!
You know, I've lost interest in different RUclipsrs over the years. I have never regretted watching a Z video
Excuse me, sir. This isn't a Thursday. (I love it anyway.)
As always I love your videos😊
Absolutely your best work to date. Incredibly done. Love the base / verse / music / editing / etc.
wow! thank you!
Yo, i need to know the exact dose of acid you took after watching this
Honestly I think he's still licking slugs.
I'm old enough to recognize fresh beats. Bravo!
I think space factorio broke him
Well that was different. Nicely done.
Just wow
This has made my week
Ahh, Zisteau, never change. 💛
God what an epic.
yooooooo 💜
hmm personally I find this game to be a bit too much. too slow, too cumbersome for lack of a better word. NOT BAD but perhaps just......... like ........ To me it just felt like it took forever to get things going. Everything needs a lot of power and power production is not great. Buildings want resources at fast rates which will require you to either tap a lot of nodes to get the resources or deal with things going slow. If you go big then you need to make sure you got the power to handle it and for that you will have to go out for coal or oil. However you also need that coal for steel and oil for oil products...... IDK I may just be missing a bigger picture and only seeing a fraction of the whole
This is an absolute MASTERPIECE....
But, have you considered adding a simple path?
Maybe from the Starter Base to the future MegaBase location.
🤔
guess who's back 🙂
That was extremely impressive. I didn't know you were that much of a musician. Or a poet, for that matter. However, you never fail to impress, and your creativity goes above and beyond most everyone I've ever seen, especially on RUclips. You certainly have quite the talent and honed skill as an entertainer, and that, I applaud. Thank you for all your hard work and sharing it with us.
I love this so much, Zisteau, my heart sings!!!! Your videos always have so much love and care. Another phenomenal job
Papa Zee came back with the milk but it's Satisfactory brand again, guess they were out of Minecraft brand
Good milk though
this is a real piece of art, worth the wait for sure. mezmerizing
Holy fuck Z, my body wasn't ready. thank you.
please, sir, can we have some more? Also, no interstitial? for shame
There is something oddly poetic about the starter-starter base consuming itself like a machine ouroboros, in much the same way as the rest of the video was intentionally poetic.
Writer, musician, builder, gamer. Zisteau is the modern Renaissance Man.
I have no idea where zisteau is in his life, but I can't imagine the amount of time and effort that went into this. The amount of cuts and edits, along with creating the lyrics and music and syncing everything together, it's incredible. This video is a nice respite from all of the other videos out there.
This is just mindblowing (as always). I have nothing to add. So here is a comment for the algorithm!
Got to love how you don't know if you're going to have a trppy video, a music video, an almost tutorial on proper factory building or a magnificent mesh of any combination.
I had a premonition and just watched the last video yesterday! PRAISE BE
That was awesome!
We need to send Zisteau to terraform Mars personally
This seems like it was such s fun video to make! Definitely had a blast watching it.
I recommend 1.5x if not 2x. Makes it sound like Devo or synth wave, idk.👍
I had to come back to this video to tell you it has been popping back into my head occasionally since I watched it four days ago. Well done, in every regard.
A thousand views an hour = 2 MILLION VIEWS this year!
4.5 minutes in, i was like - "wow this song is really long..." Then i looked at the actual length 😮
Awesome! Well worth the wait Z =D
MANPANTS! :D
This is not just a video. THIS IS A WORK OF ART. Thank you Z 🤘🏻
ngl I forgot you existed. I can't imagine doing one or two videos per year is good for the channel.
Claaaaaaaaaw!
I have no words for how impressed i am, Zisteau, you are a gem. never change
Cake better watch out
Why do I feel you could explain why the guided missile knows where it is?
Rodriguez Richard Clark John Lewis Eric
It’s been a minute
Would love to see a new ( i know he did in the past) No man's sky series i feel it would really fit Z's style
If my Grandpa were still alive he'd say that a boy zistikins
Still not sure what I just watched, but it was cool and beautiful :)
You said new vid Thursday! It’s over a day late!… or 6 days early 🤔
Thank you for posting again
Zed?! On the RUclipss?! Heck yeah ❤🎉
Oh WOW! Verry nice. Many work in this video!
I tribute to hype focus. Well done, Sir!
I have no idea what that was, but I loved it. 10/10 no notes
Oh hell yeah! Glad to see another update. (and hope for more soon!)
