Hey all :) Sorry about the slightly clickbaity title... I was originally planning to make the whole finale into a single 1,5h video, but it's just growing too big to handle for my laptop/video editing software. I still stuck with the "finale" title, because this episode contains the part which has the strongest feel of a "grande finale"... So let's consider this a multiple-episode-spanning finale then :) It may be one more part on fri feb 10, or 2 more parts on fri feb 3 AND fri feb 10, depending on how it works out. Anyway, in the next section of the finale we will take on the more technical problem of dealing with the (non-)existance of quantum biters in the void... Stay tuned :)
iam also prepering this type of event
her is the reson why i need more space than 35400 chunks
most are oucupied by coal liquiphication
there is a over 121 trian roads limiting my space
also the ginourmus production block of iron plates,green circuits,red circuits,blue ciruits the slowest of all,copper plates,copper wires and i even created my own type of bus it is called the fluid bus simple from OIL,heavy oil,light oil,water and anything that is fluid also i use the gaint fluid storge and gaint pipes for overflow problems
this is just the first base out of 19 other ones i have 25 mw reactor (also needed mods)
my base is so big that i cannot even use he spidertron with all legs also called(the god of all spders)
isnnot enought
and at last in the middle of the base are the 8 rocket silos and my respawn point because i endup blowing up a reactor for fun
and the old ship also dg spider tron and my gaint builder and attacker army
also my base is shaped like a demonic skull
Sooo are you're saying we need to get you a better pc, so you can give us cooler videos? nudge nudge wink wink
@@Xeromorphic every body who played facory to the point that the game barly handeles it
then yes
@@obadauranium8657 I thought he ment the video editing part was killing his pc
@@Xeromorphic not only that the editing is part of the suffering the ways to hide that your game is laging alot my game with humungus base is ruming at 54 fps because the mods but i realy need them
also how to kill your game make the circle out of either red belts or blue belts and then hold a realy big blue print while on this is how you do it
13:23 "Oh, I better watch out for this border I placed to not to cross it at any given time of this playthrough..."
Well, if you're wondering why the finale unexpectedly didn't fit on one single video...
No, *I* didn't notice my mistake until they MADE me notice lol..
Does that mean he generated new chunks on that side of the map?
@@1ermejo4ever1 Yes.
Good, more bitters to kiil
It’s amazing looking back on how far you have come - from the first days of worrying about having enough iron for bullets, to having a stockpile of artillery shells big enough to clear the entire map thrice over. 27:55 I remember back in episode 10 when you had to construct a 2-gigajoule accumulator array like a madman to absorb the incredible power drain from a handful of manually-directed laser turrets, and now the lasers are barely a blip on the, er, “radar”.
How the tables have turned!
“If you can spot the serious mistake..”
*the line has been crossed*
I think. Pretty sure.
Michael's continued refusal to place a handful of rail signals is not good for my anxiety
"How much radars do you want ?"
Michael : "YES"
Michael, before the actual finale, can I just take this opportunity to applaud you on what is, without any doubt, the most entertaining and impressive Factorio video series available. You’ve struck a perfect and important balance of entertainment, game knowledge, humour and storyline and it’s been an absolute pleasure to follow this series. Thank you… and here’s to the (actual) grand finale being something we’ll all celebrate ;)
This. With knobs on. A simply magnificent showcase of your prodigious talent Michael. Thank you.
The Biters have a new strategy, if enough of them die and take weird pathing patterns, they might just destroy Mike’s computer!
We will defeat the invader... by THINKING
"normal people would just install a mod for that" best line (18:50)
Michael I don't care if this finale is 37 episodes long. This is so incredibly entertaining and you have a great style and pacing, and your jokes are awesome.
Hell I just watched you drive around in a car for an hour....
i second that!
Almost a good thing that Little Johnny didn't live to see his brothers and sisters mercilessly genocided like this.
I think you walked outside your inner limit of "mike was here" when doing the nuclear expansion....
"You know, normal people would install a mod for this..."
That's EXACTLY why I watch you; way over the top, dramatized, lovely gameplay.
Cheers, to world peace!
The radar wall is the icing on the cake for the insanity that is this play through.
I couldn't help but think of March of the Penguins with that Biter parade in the southwest corner. So many bugs, burning alive... Just warms the heart
I enjoyed the Grand Finale, and am looking forward to the Ultimate Finale, and the Super Deluxe Double Finale after that.
This is phenomenal, I have been on the edge of my seat the whole time. You are weaving a great narrative and also pushing the game to its technical limits. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next.
I don't think enyone has ever attempted a "No inserter" run. You would have to hand feed everything. Not even logistic bots would save you, since you still need to insert from the chest to the machines.
"all your privacy are blong to us"
I forgot that song existed, thank you for reminding me
“Arty party” … seriously this channel has the best puns and alliterations. 11/10 would anxiously await video premier again.
God the radar spam had me dying. Love this.
Two things, 1 after years of instruction videos, master classes, mod spotlights, FFFs, patch notes and for the most part Factorio on youtube being mostly technical in nature, narrative driven videos becoming the new thing is not only welcome and enjoyable, you are a master at it.
2 Oil, fires, explosions oh my... bringing that FREEDOM to Nauvis! Bravo-Zulu
I love how you stated last episode that the hazard line around the nuclear reactors won't be necessary since "the base is on the left side" 😭 oh well
13:23 RIP Grand Finale.
18:50
Thank you! The second after realizing your plan, i was thinking: "why doesn't he get 'BigBrother'?"
You are a gem. ❤
the little jab at space exploration for its ungodly power consumption was hilarious, but a series on it would be so cool, especially to see how you would do it differently to how someone like dosh did it
30:00 just don't let all of the smoke out. Remember, once the magic smoke is out of the computer, it won't work.
The Magic Smoke is what keeps my computer alive... If I cleaned it, it would most likely spontaneously combust... When I shut it down, and restart it, it takes 28 minutes to reboot...
It takes even longer to shut down... The wonders of Technology.
I can remember the start of the series, and the struggles just to get a starting base going. Now I'm looking at a symphony of artillery and radars.
Je maakt de nederlanders in de comments trots Michael!
it felt right to finally see Factorio chug. its a mortal piece of software after all.
The slow buth smooth ups/fps drop is the game slowing down (but still, more my systems limitations than the game). The jarring, frame-skipping stuff is probably either recording software, or more likely, aggressive windows background processes processor-time-prioritization
And just like Attack on titan's final season, here we shall also wait for GRAND FINALE Part 2
Hey Michael, with the series wrapping up you should do a Q&A episode about the series. Maybe let your Patrons ask you questions, select a few RUclips comment questions,etc.
If you do use any RUclips comment questions, here is mine.
What problem in the series had you the most worried?
Yeah, that may be a fun aftermath thing to include. The most daunting points where running the temporary base to get flamethrowers (ep2/3), and the race to claim the first iron outside of the base (around ep 8-10 I think). After flamethrowers, you can defend annything, and after spidertron, you can... offend anything lol
When nuking the nuclear plant island, didn't you go over the self-containment limits that you draw on the rest of the base? wasn't the spidertron farthest to the right than you may venture into? Wouldn't that mean that you are spawning new chunks of land on the invisible portions of the map?
Yuuuuuuuuuuup
Great balls O Fire ... while both CPU and GPU cores send giant waves after waves of counter attack to save themselves from this onslaugh. Lag was probably sky rocketing - pun intended. Beautiful and mesmerising. The scale of this is just mindnumbing. Biters, you were warned : RESISTENCE IS FUTILE. THE END IS NEAR.
Watching coordinated artillery barrages wipe the red Biter bases away line by line was like watching someone use a power washer on them and it was unexpectedly and immensely satisfying.
Michael: Lets go nuke the the power plant land fill!
Me: You mean the stuff past the "never ever cross here line of doom"?
Michael: -0.03 pollution per minute LETS GOO! *proceeds to cross the "never ever cross here line of doom" *
Operation omniscient
A completely acceptable use of radars...
3:35 "What the heck are we going to need so much power for then? This isn't Space Exploration after all."
That line, plus the long pause afterward... I'm probably just reading into things. Right?
I kept thinking "There's no way the payoff is gonna be worth all this work" for the entire video, until my jaw dropped at 17:25. Near-perfect radar coverage of the _entire map._ That's insane, that's mad.
Flamethrowers are just so overpowered in terms of their almost non-existent resource consumption. Using them feels like cheating to me
Wow. Truly a fantastic series, some of the best content I've seen on this platform. A long journey and I enjoyed every single bit of it.
Oh no! You have crossed the hazard line when nuking...
Now THAT'S what I call bombardment! Thank you for an amazing series: I can't believe how much work it must have taken to achieve all this, and to produce these great videos
I found you through this series and I've thoroughly loved it. I love your accent, the way you describe and edit, truly top tier content! I'm sad to see this series end, but I'll definitely be sticking around! Can't wait check out what's next!
Wow! I have never seen that with the radars. Too cool.
Killed your "UPS"? your Uninterruptible Power Supply?
Enjoyed the video as always.
The ONLY thing I was thinking the entire time you were dealing with the nuclear reactor area was that you don't have a personal border there, and you're inevitably going to spawn more chunks. XD
This is so good. You keep coming up with novel factorio ideas. I thought I'd see it all, but "live" distant radar coverage -- I didn't see this coming. Nice work!
I really appreciate your videos and that you try and succeed to make them speziell, i haven’t watch let’s plays with more episodes since 9years but this series hooked me from the beginning and I always get excited if I see that a new one came out. Your timing and I guess voice over is always so entertaining. (Sry for Bad English)
Local man goes crazy with radar.
I can't believe how far this series has become and it starting more than a year ago!?!?! And there is always something to look forward to at the end of the week. Amazing videos, keep up the good work from 🇧🇬 От Българиа
the biter swarms at 22:05 remind me of the ohmu attack in nausicaa of the valley of the wind..
I discovered this series a couple of days ago and watched it in one day. So excited for the finale. 10/10 on imdb.
I just binged watched this entire series. Fantastic! And such a great presentation!
Man i have been seeing your videos for a long time and i just want to say that your improvement is astonishing
Very good episode. High quality editing and love the humour
Will be interessting how you will resolve the out of border issue at the powerplant
You know, I thought the time I had 20k laser turrets was excessive, I had nothing on your 20k radars
"The nest has fallen, billions must fry."- bitejak
this has the mood and feel of what I loved in Factorio all those years back when I got it
Excellent series, been watching from the start when this was a far away dream, and you were clawing for every square foot of land. Going to be fun to see it completed.
It should be illegal to call an episode "GRAND FINALE" and end on a fricking cliff-hanger :@ I can barely wait for the next episode.
Looking forward to seeing how you handle elimination of all the remaining biters without generating any more chunks!
i wont place a line at the reactor, because why should i go over there ever again
Famous last words...
What an incredible series. Thank you and congratulations!
Awesome work as usual ! Very good idea for radar. Loved the radar scan !! Very impressive to see ! This game is so well optimised !
Those massive swarms around the Southwest Lake remind me of the movie "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" and it's massive Ohm Swarm at the end. The biters probably wish they got half as peaceful an ending...
I never thought I would feel bad for the biters. Especially not in this series, after everything you have been through in the beginning.
You already achieved world peace by not polluting the bases and producing 80 (I beleive) science per minute sustainably.
But you had to go and massacre all those biters who are just standing there, minding their own business. You monster. Little Johnny was the foreshadowing of this onslaught.
What can I say: Crazy, insane, mad, great, genius, wonderful!
Absolute glorious! Thank you so much for this series. I’m hoping for a 10K spm base with enemies as the next series but that may strain your computer even more. Let the next project be whatever you feel like doing. And I hope you get enough patreons to someday upgrade to something like the new AMD 7xxx3D that have been specifically designed to accelerate Factorio. 😂🤷♀️🌷😆
Yeah I'll def. need an upgrade to tackle the more... ambitious game modes/mods, and with the giant patreon support growth over the course of this series, I think I can already start to justify upgrading to a higher-end dedicated system :)
@@MichaelHendriks and in addition it’s a work machine you spent quite a lot of time with, you get so much out of it. In time, don’t sell the old one, keep it for business continuity sake 🤷♀️👍 even just for video editing, I would recommend. Cheers 🌷
@@MichaelHendriks you can also call it a business expense and get a tax write off. Depending on the laws in your country, I’m in the US
So pumped for this series. This is absurd
It was a bittersweet experience to wake up to this video with a nice cup of coffee, until I heard there's more to come! I do have a terrifying feeling that there may be something lurking beyond the border now though...
Just discovered this channel WAY too late. But hey, now I’ve got some good content to watch for a while!
Great video!!! amazing series.... I thought that the finale was today... so let's wait a little bit more... :D
this series is awesome and I love all the content you make!
MANNNNN this playthough has been insane. I'm really happy to have been a part of this 7-month-long journey. Can't wait for the finale of the finale, and see the finaql push. Also, the SIZE of the artillery attacks, along with the footage, quenched my thirst for such content. It was fabulous.
noone comes close to make factorio as fun and entertaining as you do!
Amazing video. i lost the words to describe how amazing this video is! :)
This has all been done by you in the same time it has taken me to almost reach deep space science in Nullius
I'm a little disappointed you didn't direct some personal artillery onto those biter swarms tbh
Your knowledge of factorio is on another level
Reminds me of the game ”They are billions” 😂
Just a question. Did you maybe step out of your jail box while creating those nuke craters?
Because if so.....
Loving this series, can't wait for conclusion.
Michael mentioning Space Exploration :) please do a playthough
very nice series, the amount of planning needed to get the base structured properly has to be in-line with modern tv shows.
The timelapse of all the radars is so pretty.
15:57 cracked me up :D bang up job my dude!
Noooo!! I started that series and thought that it was finished now I need to wait impatiently for the rest of the videos to release.
Im more worrying about your fried computer than for your base lmao :D
Thank you for new chapter of this awesome jorney!
"There is nothing to stretch out" happy to see an ending but sad to see this series go.
Micheal Hendricks, you are the man that inspired me to make videos about factorio (I'm still working on my very first one!) Along with Martincitopants, who inspired me to play factorio.
Because of this, I grant you the esteemed reward, of the most pickiest subscriber in the youtube universe, of subbing to your channel!
Congrats, you have earned my respect and gratitude!
Today I found interesting mechanics for space exploration mod: you can actually disable landing pad by unloading few rocks inside platform by external signal which can obtained from single dispetcher via radars between terrains. Now i able make new kind of logistics with same settings in all platforms and without inserting manual settings
this man fills with me with joy
“Soldiers win fights, tanks win battles, artillery wins wars.” -Sun Tzu, The Art Of War
Schroedinger's biters... are they all dead? What happens if you check? :D
Great! Now you have to find the flamethrower turret with the mos the kills
Dude, crossing the border at the very end…
Such a youtube.
At least we get more content!
This series has been amazing :)
Best series on RUclips hands down no discussion
can't belive you found a usecase for the 14k radar guy
Now that you mention it's "not space exploration" when you construct all this power production, do you have plans of making a space exploration series?
Probably not soon
