the funny thing about 0:36, factorio was actually inspired by buildcraft and industrialcraft.

A few things, probably mentioned already but if not... 1 - You can split stacks when inserting them into devices by ctrl-clicking. Shift-click will allow you to remove the output from a device from the main screen. 2 - You should press "alt" in your regular screen and each of the objects will indicate what they are doing. For example, an assembler will have a little image of whatever it is assembling, a forge will have a little metal plate on it, etc. This is a toggle, you don't need to hold it down. 3 - The best way to remove trees is with a personal roboport imo, and then use the wood gathered to fuel whatever needs fuel. 4 - The soundtrack for Factorio is pretty great, but the Rimworld soundtrack you featured in this video is admittedly better.

Super review man, u deserve more subs ! ;)

Great review!

I've watched most of the review, and I'm not sure if you touch upon mods, but just a tip, if you have trouble splitting stuff like ammo or resources evenly across several machines, install even distribution. It allows you to hold ctrl + m1, and hover over several machines. Then, the thing you're holding will be split evenly across these machines. Conveniences like this is why it's so hard for me to go and play vanila, since the mods are so useful at times.

Really love the rimworld soundtrack in the background ❤️

When playing it with my friend our motto was "efficiency through inefficiency"

Neat review. A few tips 1. Do not cut the trees unless you need the wood or space. Trees absorb pollutions which prevents or reduces the amount the biters get to ingest, there fore if cutting trees isn’t necessary, don’t cut them. They can also serve as an obstacle for the early to mid game impeding movement through forests although with larger groups and bigger biters they will start chewing a pathway through the forest. 2. Keep turrets within range of one another. If you don’t need a high concentration of turrets and wish to spread them out to keep expansion groups out or deal with early game raiders, keep them within range of one another. By doing so, this means that if one turret is getting overwhelmed, the neighboring ones can aid the turret that is getting swarmed and reduces the chances of incurring loses and a breakthrough. Make sure your turrets always have ammo.

I really hope you will do a review of Empire of Sin sometime, you have the perfect voice for it

I have been waiting for this

I was really surprised to see "1 day ago" under this video in my recommendations, I was sure I've already seen a Factorio review by davo_ months ago...

Not only a great and addictive game, but has a version that plays natively in Linux too. Thus being at the top of the list for gaming on that OS. (Or you can play it under the Steam client, but it happens to not need it.)

quick tip you can use greandes for trees.and you can shift left or rightclick while holding an item to insert a full or half stack.

If you’ve enjoyed tinkering with trains on your first play through, you may just be eligible to become a full time train wizard

the first time i played factorio was when i tried the demo 0.11.22, around the time it came out in 2014(?). the first time i stopped playing factorio (to go to bed) was when i finished my first rocket defense, an online purchase and ~45 hours later. i continued to see moving transport belts when i closed my eyes.

THE FACTORY MUST GROW

Loved the review, but quick note, grenades work as a much better way in clearing trees. And it sounds cool as hell

I like the Rimworld music in the background.

You should watch those videos on youtube how people in Factorio build 3d game with raycasting or how with programmable speakers they created songs. It is truly amazing how people can build game in Factorio, and then they are also trying to minimalize the whole system like in real life.

I've put 120+ hours in to Factorio, so far, and I couldn't agree more with the statement 'sit your arse down and buy Factorio'. One of my favourite games of all time, only surpassed by Project Zomboid and the original Thief and Thief II.

solar intervention really is amazing

After over 700 hours of playing this game I still learn new things and improve my factory. This game is great.

I recommend upgraded grenades to clear trees. They're cheap, one shot, and do a large area per click.

Pretty sure it's been stated before but for effective forest clearing there's grenades, the tank, and nukes, in that order of cost and early access.

Is that Rimworld music playing in the background? xD

was going to talk smack in why did it take you so long to figure this game out but you mentioning you got the full package was a fair argument. Good video.

7:25 when you're presenting some project and you haven't done your research

Oh yeah, this is what I had been waiting for

Protip: Grenades are OP early game

3:27.. The drills.. oh god..

Something factorio does well is crafting times, when you are low level it's long but there is no actual limit on item production speed it just takes advancement.

it is possible to sidable inventoey sorting in the interface options. this would allow splitting stacks more easily

On Splitting ammo for turrents. Tab the ammo, then right click on the turrents. It's not perfect, but it will continue to give the turrents half of your ammo.

One thing to know about Factorio. Unlike almost every other game on Steam, it NEVER goes on sale. But it's well worth the cost.

Oh my. I now have 3 factory games- Shapez.io, Mindustry and Factorio. In all of them I start all over 10 or so times because my factory turns into the Mechanicus Spaghetti. "Yes, that belt brings in the resources inefficiently as hell and leads from the second end of the map but I can't change it because it will break something else which will breaks something completely else"

No idea I'm running out of alcohol until my dwarves are tantruming through the fortress after drinking water for a season. In Factorio, there's two types of problems: inefficiencies and weak defense. Having a defense is entirely optional because you can remove aliens or just render them passive. Inefficiencies suck, but there's not a real time component to them so you are never in the position where you can't fix it.

Factorio typically doesn't have stuff "come out of nowhere" as it's on a 2D plane and not 3D slice based. The UI design of Dwarf Fortress really makes it easy for bad guys to get you from the one layer you didn't think to check in the last half dozen cycles. (I like the idea of DF, but in practice it ends up being an exercise in frustration if you don't remember every single little detail. The warning of threats and the handling of the elevation aspect isn't exactly good for any casual players.) Factorio on the otherhand has a huge lot of leeway in what you can get away with. However optimal configurations seem to settle down to certain arrangements becoming increasingly generic. So some things can get to be a little repetitive if you don't purposely mix it up. At least there's always the option of visiting the biters or making circuit stuff, if you get a little bored with improving science and rocket launch production.

Ah yes. *_Adeptus Mechanicus Simulator_*

You know you can split stacks and keep them if you de-select automated sorting in the settings, right?

this gameplay feels like mindustry in HD

The irony is that the factory in these clips is not even close to making a rocket. He’s maybe 20% there. The difficulty in science packs scale exponentially. What it takes to make green will require everything and more from what it took to make red. To make yellow, it will take everything from purple, blue, black, green and red and more. For example, you need 1 green circuit per green science pack. For blue you would need 3 green circuits per blue science pack. For purple, you need 35 green circuits per purple science pack. It’s basically like this except not just green circuits. The intermediates and there quantities will be different, but the effort and scale is exponential.

I think you can get around that problem of not being able to split stacks in inventory by going to settings and turning off autosort inventory

The modding community make this game even more of the same its great. Also Factorio did what Minecraft never did with its mods. It made a custom built mod site that lets the game download mods to match saves at the press of one button. Also has an easy update feature in the mod menu in game.
