Check out Foundry here: foundry.paradoxinteractive.com/AmbiguousAmphibian (Sponsored by Paradox) Let me know if you want to see more - I feel like I barely scratched the surface of this one considering all the late-game technologies. More full VOD will be up on the VOD channel a little later on. Also can I just say that if combat is ever added to this game I will play all 100 days again faster than you can run away

@@gagebender2849 Agreed, this is probably gonna be my new crack when I eventually pick it up. The only thing that concerns me is that it’s Paradox publishing it. They publish some great games, don’t get me wrong, but man oh man do they love to sell DLC too…even here they have day one DLC.

So .. satisfactory but with inevitable paid dlc? Dope

[@DetectiveMekova]

Listen, there's terraforming and science packs! So it's different! /s Honestly, the game was in development from around the same time as satisfactory, which makes sense. It is more akin to Factorio it seems than Satisfactory, except it's 3D which is cool. I'm not gonna buy into it though lol

[@mentalmonkey2071]

Ngl paid dlcs aren’t horrible all the time sometimes it’s worth because people still need to get paid for the work they put into making games

Feeling your stomach drop when you fall in video games. You are not alone.

@@Duck1en It _should_ happen on a swing - you are actually in (partial) free fall there :)

[@Baleur]

Sorry for breaking the 4th wall, but this is the kind of content ive been slightly missing in the last few months. The excessive focus on amphibious philosophamagic ramblings in an insecure tone, is what made your channel unique to begin with. Keep it up, this video is an excellent example of the style that sets you apart from pretty much any other "gamer" on youtube. Embrace it. All in moderation of course. But embrace it nontheless.

[@MrPicklesAndTea]

this is like a more specialized minecraft technic mod. Like it was designed to be less mine-crafty, but also make building in scale easier.

[@LuaanTi]

Yeah. A lot of us want to make a game with the basic systems of Minecraft mods. Minecraft is a great combination of cool mod(pack)s and horribly painful technical side of things :P

[@teneksi7803]

I usually prefer describing games with more nuance than "like this game plus this other game" but this 3D voxel grid which invariably evokes minecraft is like the exact midpoint between factorio and satisfactory I see the map and the grid-based conveyor belts and think Factorio. I see multiple levels from a distance and it looks like Satisfactory. you dig through the ground to reach a resource because it's somehow also Minecraft it feels almost exactly like 33% of all three of those games

[@omnomzofchainsaws4278]

I'd be interested if paradox's dlc policy wasn't aspiring to overtake EA.

[@onabikewithadrone]

Looks nice. Let's hope that Paradox won't axe Channel 3 before the actual end of the early access. Like TakeTwo did with KSP2's developer

[@LuaanTi]

It's been in independent development for many years now; the visible progress they made in the few months under Paradox is pretty cool (though also in some ways making it more like Satisfactory and FortressCraft Evolved :D ).

[@dancampbell8749]

Another IP to sling DLC onto us.

[@FlavorTown9088]

So its literally factorio, great job guys... also cant wait for the dlc of major game mechanics to cost 2x more than the base game.

Played the demo when it first released. Nice to see they really expanded on it and it runs well. Never would of thought it would go the way of helping repair a content sized UFO just to get some alien iron. Can't wait to get it it. Going to scratch that itch till Satisfactory gets its 1.0 launch.

[@bebedordecoca]

Factorio is complicated and adicting enough, you add Paradox to the mix and oh boi oh boi...

[@RandomInternetStranger]

One thing that I'd like to recommend: exploiting all 3 dimensions of movement While you're limited to 2d in Factorio, which heavily limits the amount of building space that's available to you, that's not a problem here. Simply build conveyors _under_ your construction if there's no room, then build back up when needed. Rather than having a single "circuit board," you can have a rack of them. It's the same principle as a skyscraper.
