Hey TDA, I am sure you know this, but you can connect the boiler and turbine (without any piping needing), same thing for the boilers, water will flow through, figured I would mention it just incase. I know space is not a problem, so not a big deal either way :)

Personal vote: call them blue and red science. Yes, they are called Science Packs I and II - the dev’s had to give things different names so as not to be too same-same. The color-coding tells though. ;)

Love the video and trying to follow along on a higher difficulty after my normal playthrough, but only 30 minutes in and there are 2 additional landing relays on the planet. I cant find spawn conditions on the wikis or reddit. Do you know what makes them spawn and why you dont get any?

I'm a bit late to the party but wanted to say thank you, i've started DSP long time ago, never made to late game and now with your help am managing to finally get a grasp of this game

The Dark Fog keeps on creating new bases. At 20 min in your clip, the Fog already has 6 planetary bases in my game. Is this an updated thing or am i doing something that is causing this?

RE: Setting your factory platform at an optimum height: There's actually a pretty big hint they gave us to do that: Station Victor has a mid-level plateau, with all the inputs and connection points, and much of your early building here is easy to do by extending off from that nice flat plateau. This level is ideal for building your main platform that leaves enough room for your power generation underneath, space for you to walk underneath, and will not conflict with any machines or core composers. You broke it by overthinking it.

I like the following when I have rich iron/clay: charcoal>trade routes>deep mines>armor though I might try the trade point for reducing imports When you have rich iron + clay, deep mines is OP. Combined with trade routes, gives you multiple tiers of multiple items to sell. Iron/clay early, iron bars/roof tiles mid, all sorts of weapons/armor/tools/roof tiles late.

once again gave up trying to recreate in the polar region my fragile mind simply cannot comprehend circles

It took me about an hour of digging around with 'how to leave the planet' before I finally found this video (which at 2 years old, you'd think there'd have been a more recent search result that helped me.) THIS answered the problem that I was having and that hadn't been explained anywhere else. I kept following all the instructions, but since I maintained a top-down view of Icarus, I just couldn't seem to get into cruise mode. Thanks to this video I now learned that you have to lower the camera angle as well. 😅😭

Since youtube is ignoring all of my bug reports, 360p is NOT high quality picture, it never will be. PLEASE give us back the ability to choose resolutions properly. I am so sick of opening settings to manually select a watchable resolution when I've already told you to choose the HIGHEST setting. This video is available in 1080p, it's streaming just fine in 1080p now that I've manually selected it. This is a massive annoyance, and we know that you target smaller channels with these bandwidth restrictions. Its unfair, and not the quality I expect for a paid streaming service. KZbin, get your act together! Great video Dutch, hope my complaint helps boost the algorithm. It's a shame KZbin won't give your videos a fair go! Certain popular platforms seem to always default to 1080p at minimum, and the common factor is subscriber count. It's not on if you ask me. I'm paying for access to youtube, not the top ten people youtube feels like promoting.

Hey man. How do I opt into a beta version and then do back into my regular downloaded game after ?

502 facilities per blueprint seems like a miss, by that time a player will have advanced past this initial setup

I have 30 hours in this game and I’m just now looking at Dyson videos because I’m starting to get stuck and you are blowing my mind. I had no idea you could put sorters directly from one building to the other. I completely forgot about stacking things. I didn’t know you could have different splitters and then put a fucking storage box on top. Omg this video is going to revolutionize my factory set up moving forward on other planets. I took the advice of another KZbinr who basically said at first embrace the spaghetti factory and then look up optimization videos once you get stuck and I honestly don’t regret it. I’ve had way more fun by myself in this game then I have had in previous resource management games. You can really get lost in the “I need the perfect factory” mindset and it takes the fun out of learning the mechanics. Great video dude

How do I craft pole arms, and axes. Also how do i equip swords. I have tons of those , but nothing else . Thx

Trying to take my 3rd planet was fun there were 20 bases and i could only fit one box like you built without aggroing a base, but i did it eventually.

I was wondering if you would showcase this game. Nice one. /thumbsup

i really wanted to make my own blueprints well following along still essentially using the same layouts, but i gave up trying to recreate the science setup building in the poles is somewhat confusing.

I WISH YOU TO PLAY oDDSPARKS

I have followed your guide exactly up to this point. There's only one criticism I have. The oil refineries make hydrogen and crude oil.... There's no outlet for the crude oil and I've had to have a massive number of storage tanks for my oil in order to get all the hydrogen I need for my red science. I wanted to get all the red/blue research and upgrades done but The oil refineries kept stopping as the oil was backed up. As of the end of this episode I'm not sure what I'll be using oil for but when I do I've got a TON of it stored up.

Thx for sharing your experience.

ME: it would be funny if TDA picks the same seed i did.... TDA: 1234567890 ME:🤯

this game seems way more fun as a single player game focusing on pve....i dont care about pvp....the combat mechanics isnt good enough for pvp compared to the big mmos or games like diablo....the base raiding is just rust mechanics and we all know how toxic the rust playerbase is.

This game is a blast, plus on their roadmap there is trains coming, and who doesn't love trains. Glad to see you making a series out of this though TDA, awesome work as always

You can check with Deconstruct what is inside containers. Also you can powerslide with Sprint, jump and duck ;) Regarding feeding the constructors, its called the overflow methode. If you want a 100% efficient you need to split multiple times.

When I'm following along building the turbine factory. All of my buildings have a flashing yellow "no power" sign over them. But I notice yours do not have this. How did you switch it off?

can you do updated version or this is already updated?

Great beginner guide. Cheers

I logged into the ACTUAL KZbin app, just so I could toss the algorithm a 🦴 so it didn't eat The Dutch Actuary's channel. Help this guy avoid that unpleasant fate by tossing your own 🦴 to feed the beast.

this looks good... xbox exclusive? :( lol

I had a lighting stile that causes a fire and burned done my logging camp . My logs are completely gone and I can’t build another one. What can I do? Thx

ok, so i did come in with the opinion that 100% production is better and now I see why 25% products can be better and how in all technicality that little small button actually has nothing to do with production (inputs/outputs with #'s) but is purely about 3 different play styles/ways to go about building in the late gate, NOT which produces more. This is actually very clever now that I understand it. The way he set the factories up in the video where he had every step to make that item from raw ore in 1 setup is 100% a different play style than than a forge world type play style where you make massive blueprints for just Iron ingot or copper ingot and have those feed my massive magnetic coil blueprints which feed my electrical motor blueprint and every blueprint has it's own logistics tower etc. It's seems that there are 3 ways to play: 1. New/average player - No prolif/using prolif only to compensate for an exact reason creating no waste/idle time because your just trying to beat the game by building a dyson's sphere. Long-term players: 2. The forge world people who build massive factory setups for individual Items that all have their own logistics tower(many towers per item sometimes like Iron ingots) heavily heavily rely on logistics vessels to be the glue that bonds everything together. These kinds of setups is why I thought was 100% better and IMO is when you want to always use 100% production because you made sure power is not an issue since the vessels use power, your 100% production on everything uses more power. It's kind of a quicker but lazier way to play. This setup allows for a lot of factories to have a lot of idle time until they are needed to fill the tower of the next component really fast then 50% of everything goes idle once the next tower is full. This is when you want to build the big awesome spheres but in a wild and chaotic way, some people have no chill and this play style suits those people, that's me :) 3. The methodical player which is what I would say this video shows, where you build what you need for that item all in 1 blueprint, which is interesting now that I'm writing about it. There are tiers to the items/components - tier 1 is ores - tier 2 is the ingots (refined) made from ores - tier 3 are components made from manipulation or combination of ingots smelted from raw ore. - tier 4 is finally the "actually useable" item which you can use to craft different items which could be tier 5 but they are both just items/an addition step The point is while the methodical player will also rely on vessels to transport the items, they will have way less vessels being used because no teir 1, 2 or 3 will ever be transported so less power demand. With this setup I think people should always use the 25% more products because of the tier type setups which means they take up a little less room and and use less power so this build is perfect for people who don't have massive power grids but want to expand. My guess is tier builds have a lot more math involved and this would be the more tedious play style, whereas forge world is just more vessels, more planets more power. I started this on phone and started commenting my bias opinion before watching. Comment got big and I got on PC to finish it and at that point I'm like hour and a half into writing but realized that I see zero value in 25% products and there must be some value so I watched the video and that's when I finally seen it, erased everything and then wrote this. It's hard to write when your learning new info at the same time, I'm like 3 hours into this. :)

i dont see water

Hey started this class now that I'm more confident with building. I really enjoy what the fog brought to the game cant wait for when it gets harder.

what about time ? how did u go around the fact that time doesn't pass while u logout

I wouldn't say these were massive gameplay changes really. other than an invisible granary, Nothing else makes a significant difference in gameplay. other than kings tax bankrupting you

I don’t like the new map overview :((((

Fuel tankers still barely work honestly. At least for me. I wish you culd just set a zone for each fuel tanker to cover any ships low on fuel. And any tanker in a fleet should auto refuel the fleet. That still doesn't really happen for me to this day.

Great overview!
