As a new player, the game felt a bit overwhelming. This video felt overwhelmingly overwhelming just by looking at the "end" result. The thing is, I enjoy it a ton so I will, somehow, work on recreating even a fraction of what you did. Hats off, and thanks for your valuable videos on this title!

As Stated in the video, some part of getting good at building comes down to talent. But to the aspiring builders out there, having Talent doesn't mean you're good from the get go, Talent just means you progress *faster*. Anyone, talent or not, can become good with the right mindset and the proper time put in. So just keep on playing, keep on building, you'll get there soon enough.

Vastly underrated comment. Like most things in life; *Skill* comes at the cost of time spent. People miss-use the word talent most of the time anyhow. Like with art. Art is MOSTLY (And in some people, all) Skill. Hours and hours and hours of dedication learning the craft. Yes, some people will adapt to it sooner because of a predisposition for it but it can be learned by anyone willing to invest their time. Some of the best artists in the world couldn't draw stick-figures when they started.

that's not literally the only thing talent means but alright.

I just love your builds, man. Inspirational. I am only 300 hours in, starting on my first megafactory. It’s been great watching your stuff as I progress.

Thank you for this video. I started playing in 2020 during the pandemic and swiftly got over whelmed with how small my brain felt while playing this game. My best friend showed me his world and i got really depressed because I could never achieve that. I'm trying it out again and learning as much as I can. This (hopefully) will help me to not be too hard on myself because it's just a game...

Oh this is gold!! This reflects exactly how people change during their playthroughs. I love it that you still have the old saves, showing us the madness you had! I mean, I was there in the underground build, with the fastest way to transport things. But I like the way you have developed. It is a trip down memory lane!

This video is so refreshing man! I'm in your named "6th factory" kinda phase, trying to organize things up from what I've learned in previous saves, so I can say the learning curve is still goin on for me! Your builds are truly inspiring, and it is with great joy that I see your videos and wanted to thank you for them 🙏

I recently restarted again, and even after restarting I changed my mind how I wanted to do logistics and modular builds. I am currently in the process of dismantling and rebuilding on a world that I already put another 100 hours again. I have been keeping some of your tutorial building tips in mind, from making rigs out of nodes, to trains and busses. Keep on being an inspiration!

thanks for this one a lot, makes me feel a lot better about the last restart. I was so attached to a 2k hour save from previous updates that I really almost lost momentum completely with the last update. finally getting back into it, and these videos really help keeping the ideas flowing

i have 1030 ish hours now and have started over easily 30 or 40 times. I have made many worlds and deleted many as well and yes...perfecting yourself comes with time. Much like good music production you eventually find your own style and rhythm or even "genre" you fit with. It eventually turns into an entire world like Amelie of The Sea for example. Love your stuff man. I hope to send you the world i am working on one day!

Thankyou so much for sharing your early and intricately interwoven and impenetrable industrialised imaginings! I'm up to 2150 hours on my second build and I owe a lot of my perseverance and inspiration to you.......especially the curved foundations and those damn train signals.

The spaghetti is REAL for everyone!! Omg... I thought I was just terrible. Lol! Have gotten better though... :3 (Loved the Boo, by the way)

Here's the thing about continuing saves and starting new worlds. I feel that starting a fresh world and doing the grind and unlocking researches all the way up to the point you can start building good stuff again, is more of a hassle and a time sink that just building a huge number of storage containers and deconstructing your entire factory and everything you've built. You can store all the items you get and it's basically the same as having a new world to play with except now you've got all the hub upgrades done and all the Ficsit Store stuff, and you'll have a heap of building material ready to go for starting your new build.

Deleting can be time consuming although I don't think it's more than starting over. I'm on Phase 4 and started building my first megafactory a couple of days ago. Megafactories done neatly take a surmounting amount of time and patience. 20 hours in and I'm still not done with the infrastructure. What's going to take a long time is moving the resources over😢

I'm always amazed by the variety and creativity of the architecture that people come up with in Satisfactory. I tend to stick to Brutalist boxes and focus more on making things work rather than making them look pretty. My current factory (videos on my let's play channel) is one square kilometre of flat foundations covered in tower blocks dedicated to a single item each. I've recently come to the conclusion that, even though I've not filled my square km yet, I'll need more space in other locations in order to make everything. I'm currently working on my iron rod production, each floor of the tower has 16 constructors fed by a Mk3 belt of iron ingots. I have TWELVE floors to build to reach full capacity, I've only done two so far. It's a lot of work.

At 120 hours in, I can see I have just begun the journey. Thanks for the architectural inspiration, your builds are gorgeous!

Thank you for this. I've just hit 60 hrs (1 week irl) and am feeling a bit overwhelmed and unskilled. This has reasured me that starting over, learning slow and sticking with it is where I want to be going

This was a beautiful and unexpected ode to letting go, fren It's all in the openess to restarting a save or to scrapping a build completely to make way for progress to show through the mistakes you've made along the way Thanks for the video and all the tutorials, you really inspire me

thank you so much for this peak inside your development. in fact i was really asking myself if i ever be able to build such beautiful factories. i wont give up and try more and different things.

I must say I really enjoy watching your videos. I like that you find designs being just as important as the logistics. Thank you for the awesome content.

Love that documentary ! :D I am currently trying to do a full factory out of hexagonal blocks. It's a process indeed ! Each new hexagon is better than the previous ^^ love your vids !

OMG I love your factories! They're so aesthetic :) I just came back to the game after a long break and never progressed past spaghetti factories the first time I played. The quality of your builds gives me something to aspire to - Thanks!

I absolutely love the micro factory idea. Thank you so much, when I get off work going home to design my own micro factories and then design a main hub away from my current area. Feed all the resources to the hub and reap the benefits. Thanks mate 😁

This was satisfying! To be able to peg my save to one of yours allows me to get a glimpse into my own future playing the game. Very cool!

Spot on. The 'process' you describe has helped me in ohter areas of life. I realized, I would do a bunch of work, then could not progress. Satisfactory and 'process' helped me realize, I was afraid of losing what I had done. But that is not real -- you can undo the spaghetti, and redo it cleaner, no need to be afraid! This approach has helped me at work too.

I'm on only my second world, and if I may say so the improvement is huge. I learned so much from that first build, especially learning what NOT to do, that my second build has gone so much better. I still see a lot of flaws but with practice comes improvement!

I really enjoyed this video. I have quietly followed you for a long time now. I really loved the “willingness to start over”. I can see how different my building style has changed from the beginning. I have accepted that mine will never look like your latest build since I’m not that creative and that is okay. Your videos and others like you still push me to want to do better. It has been a little while since I have played this game but this has inspired me, given me the itch to jump back in. Thank you for all your hard work in making these videos!

thank you. you made me feel better about my play through style. I know that i keep learning each restart and im going to be honest im happy about that now.

just incredible improvement and by far really really cool and clean setup on the last build.

Experience is what you get when things don't turn out like you'd hoped, and boy does this game love to give you experience. I might have to show off my Drone Tower Experiment at some point. It's early days yet but I've done some fun things architecturally, including hiding the power to the upper deck inside of support pillars, thanks to one of your videos.

Thanks for this. Suddenly my efforts at 250hours dont seem so lacking 😊😊. You've progressed so much, look forward to your next 4k hours (and more)

I haven't watched a lot of your videos but I have to say videos such as these are very important in all types of skills and I am very happy that you made it. It helps to show everyone that you are not some otherwordly creative genious, you are just some with with lots of experience that has put in the time and effort and gained the skills needed. It makes you... human. And it gives hope to everyone else that... heck, if YOU can do it, maybe I can too? It is so easy to look at the latest iteration of your (or other creators) builds and feel "Wow, I can never do that." But when you show this journey you say "Well, neither could I when I started, but I kept playing and kept trying. I'm sure you can keep playing and keep trying." Gives hope, makes me happy. Thank you TotalXclipse. :)

I just started playing rhis game yesterday and I find it amazing. This vid has definitely given me some good ideas. I really want to make my factory more efficient but also have it be aesthetically pleasing. Finding hard to get that balance

to see what you can do with time and experience gave me the courage to start a new save with the idea of pulling trough for the later stages (tiers if you will). I always started a new save with updates and with some time between the saves. I only scratch the surface with those save in wich my most developed save was where I manufactured plastic and was at tier 5 or 6. So the trains and all I never even touched. Thank you for letting us see what is possible.

I definitely relate to this video. My first few worlds were terrible. But each time I start a new world I get better and better.

i play satisfactory extremely causally and haven't gotten past tier 3-4 really, but I think the message of this video speaks to more than just players. With anything in life, the goal should be enjoying the process instead of the outcome. A nice quote I like to remember is 'The man who loves to run will run much farther than the man who likes the destination.' I think a good mindset for anyone with a goal is just to enjoy the process. Lovely video btw

This totally motivates me, I've been playing for like a month (80 hours) and I'm still on my first save, and I managed to create different "plants" of iron, copper, steel, and some other stuff but I always felt like I messed it up or I was just not convinced with it, but now I feel like I actually did pretty good for someone with 80 hours of play time.

I've played just over 200 hours on this game without mods (although recently tried my hand at some quality of life mods for organization) and i've poured over videos and advice and guides for another 30+ hours, and spent dozens more hours thinking or planning my next move. This game is worth every ounce of effort I've put into it, and people like you have inspired me. I just got to Tier 7 for the first time and i'm already eager to restart to see what else I come up with.

Thank you for this video. I've just wiped and restarted taking my spaghetti experience into this save. It's given me motivation for this build!

It's like when I was learning a new song on my piano and today it just came to me and I played it almost without mistakes. I suck at this game, but this video was really inspirational!

Another great video my friend. A lot of kindness and motivation in your words. I think everyone as his own curve of learning. Our activities in our real life also are part of the art, functionality and efficiency of ours factories. Each new game is a challenge and a chance to evolve from our previous experience.

my computer would melt if i would load that last save, u really have abeast of a machine to even run that smooth i recon, love the content.

I'm on style two now after watching your videos. I connect everything with a sky foundation, and have my factories just sitting in the sky.

I am someone who has just barely dabbles in the art that is Satisfactory. You videos are always humbling and fun to watch, please, keep it up and thank you, from all of us

This is a lovely video. Every parent who ever told their child "don't give up - practice to get better" loves you right now. Thanks very much.

This video is great. I was thinking that i've been playing now for 3 weeks and i should be doing great builds, but as you said, even 4 or 5 months of gaming time makes a player a newbie in the scheme of things. I'm looking forward to seeing the results of my first thousand hours :)

I don't know why this video gave me chills as well. Seeing the old spaghetti to something better. How far have we come in satisfactory.

You really do take a designer's approach to this game and I love it. I'm currently studying to be an architect and you have talked on the highlight that is drilled into us from day 1, iterate, iterate, iterate. And even if your first one looks like shit or doesn't function well, it's your first step towards creating a good design, think of it like a baby taking its first steps. Experimenting is vital in a design process, so, if you want a good design, experiment. Make a shitty first draft, then go on from there. Also I love how much glass you incorporate in these, showcasing just how important natural light is. A factory doesn't simply have to be an enclosed space with just machines, it can be a space that allows a user to interact with it, change things in it, and actually feel inviting, not some dark space.

Finding things out takes time, and you`re absolutely right about that a clean factory can take a few tries. I`m only in about a 1000 hrs, and building neat factories is new to me.

2:18 the truck photo bombing while you were stating "This is actually an improvement" had me rolling! Hahahaha! GGreat builds , mate!

youre incredibly uplifting, thank you for being so welcoming and helpful

Just moments away from your first save being revealed, and as a lover of spaghetti, I can't wait to see where you started :D

as long as your spagetti doesn't look like "Let's Game it out"s work of art, I think you are fine

Never really had the time to put the kind of time I wanted to put into this game yet. But seeing videos like these helps me to find the inspiration and determination to push forward and make the factory of my dreams as well!

There's a lot of wisdom in this video :)) that actually applies really well to other parts of life, but specifically for artsy and creative self-reliant professions :) cheers! those are awesome builds and videos!

This makes me feel so much better about my progress lol slow progression and experimenting with builds.

Good review of your progressive saves. It mademe recall my own development across 2300 hours of play. While my last few saves have involved expansive megafactories across the map, my latest Update 5 save involves minimalist factories specialised in producing single items, where I spend more time on producing an asthetically pleasing factory rather than churning out x items per minute

This was super humbling to watch. Thanks so much for this. ;u;

didn't realize what kind of video this was gonna be, but I surely was not disappointed at all. Excellent video 9.98/10

Most of the time when you need huge number of machines, like for heavy modular frames in the basic tiers, you cannot fit everything inside when you build nice, so I just build a big box. but I still cannot understand how you fit everything so nice. anyways even I feel how I built my second save more efficient, faster, nicer and better than my first try. This video was more of an encouragement than a tutorial in my opinion. So.. thank you !!

the sub button flashed when you said we shoud subscribe. thats wicked, never seen that before.

These videos are helping me to progress to the "Box Plus" stage, where I build a box and then tart it up to be slightly less boring

Hey, I saw this game in my recommendations from steam. I was sure that I like it, but wasn´t sure if I wanted to buy it or not. After watching your video I definitely will buy it. Thanks for the video.

I really liked this video it helps my anxiety about how things look in my builds.

Subscribed with this video, being humble and showing your own spaghetti has pulled me in.

wonderful video I agree with you @TotalXclipse I have the same as you some of my old saves are very messy and you did not know what will come next. but we have all grown and become better at making a nice and stylish factory in our own style. you are awesome at building good looking and style clean, factory love it man

coming once from Beta Factorio...well i have neither there nor here the time dedicated to it to evolve into such design. i stuck on both in the "Main convere belt bus block" desgin. and only scalti was able to push me towards something more beautiful with his modular 100% efficiency guides.

Thanks for this friend; feeling a lot better now ;)

This video looks like a jewel cuting process, really satisfying ^^

Thanks for this video. I Just bought this today, my son suggested it since i'm such a fan of building sims. Let's see how far my imagination will carry me.

I salute to you mate, it's amazing!

I like how this vid is also a life lesson about willpower and perseverance.

Thanks I did enjoy this video. I have had a hard time playing because it can get overwhelming at times. I got the game because I am not good at building things and wanted to attack a weakness. Thanks again

Always get inspired when I see your build... and then never managed such factories on my own but as you say, practice and time helps. Trying at the moment of an idea to make "sections". Different towers for all ingots making, one for iron, copper, steel etc. Then different "houses" per resource, and trying to have a nice transport system under the walkways just to be able to walk around and see all the different resources going all over the place, from ore all the way to the latest stages. Maybe not the most efficient way, but was a fun idea and will see how the chaos commences.... just have to tear down my builds so far as they are getting in the way :)

Even your first save spaghetti is better then where I am. I'm still trying to figure out how to make machines align to the grid, so I can build a neat factory line for even the basic resources.

I think what I'd tell newer players (also being newer myself) is that spaghet is needed in the beginning. You're introduced to new components all the time, and you need time to figure out about how many of xyz you need to create abc. After a bit you start to understand the output of a miner and how many constructors you generally need to make a reliable amount of reinforced plates, etc. And each build gets more and more optimized. Ive tried to keep it cleaner in these early stages just so i can see at a glance the amount of machinery itll take and generally how it all gets routed. But everytime something new gets introduced (I'm on Tier 6), there's an obvious "figuring it out" pattern in the base haha. Just take the little victories that you figured out how to hook up certain things. and refine over time.

I am pretty good at playing guitar, and I write songs that I like a lot, and some people think to be appealing. I get frustrated when people experience me playing my music, and then say "You're so talented." I understand that they are saying it with kind intent, and they don't understand the amount of work that I have put into working on that skillset. But it is minimalizing of the amout of time and effort spent working. When I write my most interesting stuff, it does "feel like it comes from the ether" or whatever- but realistically creativity is just smashing things that already exist together into forms that feel, look, or behave in a way that seems/is new, novel, or useful. You make really cool looking designs that do stuff that I don't think anyone would expect/imagine possible with the game. That is not magic- it is just effort and time spent. Good work dude- It will be interesting to see what you do with the 1.0 toolset.

OMG, I remember these days with you! Thinking back to the pics I showed you of my first Vertical storage in a square not circle, for everything in the game at the time. Walls were bad, or were they? We were not sure. haha. Thank you for the flashbacks.

I'm 300h into my first world, got as far as nuke and plutonium refining. It's now the last stretch to the current space elevator upgrade with nuclear pasta and the likes. What really helped me was the blueprint designer and a friend that was compulsive about making stackable modules, it's advanced our production nearly 3000 fold. I think when I finally reach that glorious end (before update 8) I'll start again in the new update, be more creative with architecture... But it will be hard moving away from my 4x4 skyscrapers of +30 smelters.

I think the important thing to remember is that there's no rush, and you can do what you want! It's like Minecraft - some people relish in the chaotic beauty of spaghetti. I personally love having open-faced factories - i just have little satellite bases with open walls - but I do close off my main base to nicely contain my resource area.

Thank you for allowing us to see that even our Satisfactory Heros are hooman!

What an amazing journey!!

I've played off n on since 2019 release & with each new update that comes out. Including playing some experimental branch and accumulating 715 hours. With this latest update I can say I've come a long way by focusing on one thing at time. While all this time I've played, I've barely ever used walls at all or did big huge factories, but several mini's with in 1200 meter radius. Definitely ready for the next new save adventure when update 6 comes out whenever that is. 239 hours in my current update 5 save and getting close to completing the final space elevator requirements.

beautifulkl bases after the first 2 XD my problem mostly is around the end of steel automazation i get demotifated and just not contineuing anny thips for that love ur vids and tips

"Tractor, what are you doing?" *boink* "Alrighty then!"

thank you for this great vidio, i was about to give up on this game but now im going ahead full steam

I'm still on my first save (very casual player) from before water was needed to make coal power. Many things have broken since then due to the various updates, but I am trying to stick with it. Still got my first spaghetti mess as well as long platforms in the sky that go off to far-away places, but I also have small mini-factories for making specific things, which was fun learning.

Not being afraid to try something different to your usual, standard method of building helps a lot, too. One other important aspect is not to be in too much of a hurry to, 'level up', as just placing factories down in a slap-dash way, (purely to get the required components to move onto the next level), means you don't spend enough time, (or the required effort), to make your factories a) efficient and b) aesthetically pleasing.) Technically, you can go back afterwards and redo factories, once you've got all the levels you want, (and in some cases, it's better to do it that way as you can organise things so they're more streamlined), but you could make the argument that it's time wasted by having to redo things. But then, it is a learning process. The only thing you're limited by is time and inclination to put the effort required into making it all happen.

No mention that new building materials and angles were added after your original builds that can help to make your build look a lot better. Although the game still in early access and there will probably be major changes later on so whatever you do you will be starting again no doubt.

"This was an improvement believe it or not." (Truck falls from the sky crashing to the floor) That timing couldn't have been scripted better.

GOOODDAMMM..... I used to play Minecraft and i told myself i would be fine with satisfactory builds, and proceeded to make the same mistake by not framing my buildings which basically had the same energy as a minecraft house made of purely wood planks and nothing else like oak wood for the corners ans stuff

That was one of the best pixel boo's I've ever seen D:

Honestly, this video is great and it really makes me feel better about my mess lol

This guy is genuine and genius with his ideas and creativity I'm happy that I found out about this guy.He is the reason I started playing Satisfactory and getting inspired by him everyday with his creativity I too am building an awesome looking and gorgeous factory as the time passes by. Thanks totalxclipse

Whats the name of the song, cant find it at spotify? Thank you man, great video, so good to look back sometimes and see all the progress and development!

My idea is build the factory backwards and come up with what you need it to make and place the machine that will make that then figure out how to feed each machine.
