Oh god, oh no, there goes the weekend.
LMFAO. I burst out laughing at that, and had to stop. This is a video I need to experience with my wife.
Also, hey! Glad to see you here! I found you with your last video on compact factories. Good stuff, I learned a lot of crazy shit I didn't know was possible.
I love hearing that, I try to make them more than dry tutorials.
And you finding me in two places is almost scary to me. It's like my videos are gaining traction or reach or something.
I went back and double-checked, I don't THINK I first found you from here, I think you just popped up on YouTube for me.
Hey mate, thanks for your videos. I'm still pretty new (about 100h, still in phase 4) and I can barely follow them at all, but that's a problem on my end, not yours. I haven't even looked at blueprints yet, but I feel like getting at least a few basic multi-machine blocks to stamp down is something I should do sooner rather than later. I'm sure when I finally get around to optimising things your channel will be a huge help.
Edit: I just went back to the first video in the playlist and holy shit dude. I have a lot of work to do. I love the concept of packaging up your machine blocks the way you do and building a giant factory you can drive around in, I have nothing like that. I was already planning to redesign some parts of my game but I'll definitely be taking some pointers from seeing your work. As much as I love going into things blind for a first playthrough I feel like I learned a lot from seeing you talk shit for 20 minutes.
No megafactory for me though, it'll all be smaller ones with trains meandering through the countryside. Having forgotten once again to start looking into the dimensional depot, running out of iron plates or concrete or whatever in a build means a nice 15 minute round trip on the train back to base, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
Just seeing you snap mergers & splitters right onto the lifts is going to make a big difference to the way I design things moving forward. Thanks again.
Awesome! I was going to say there's a lot of foundational concepts that are needed for this build, and I'm glad they helped.
And yes, the choice between megafactory and lots of little factories is a subject of debate among players, and neither one is necessarily better. I have a hybrid, where I'm working on a megafactory, but also I have a lot of satellite ore processors because usually there is only one way ore can be used, so it doesn't make sense to transport it raw.
Another benefit to satellite factories is performace - big factories can get laggy. I just like megafactories. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And this game can be played blind, but it's one of those that really benefits from some wiki knowledge. There's only so much you can get from raw experimentation. I think I developed part of my different style when I was playing without tutorials, but I definitely took a lot from watching others and I wouldn't have developed it this far without some of that input.
