I don't care whether or not this was made in creative mode, this is still highly impressive.

[@adder2523]

It was made in creative mode, but its (like he mentioned) highly do-able in survival, assuming you have a working factory that can provide the materials to set it up.

[@KingScorpio84]

jes like a huge waste of time stored into a gargabe video, game would be better if people would be more creative in the real world

[@TS-jm7jm]

the REAL world is not conducive towards creativity, infact creativity is heavily stifled in the very institutions purported to nurture it,

[@ianahola2854]

"Game would be better if people would be more creative in the real world" ....that doesn't even kinda make sense.

[@PotholedAxe9985]

Tbh i actually copied this entire factory to a blueprint and used a separate research base to get to the point i can do this in vanilla and used bots to help make the process of finally building this quicker. so my world with this in it isnt botless considering i love using them. so my starting bases and research base is completely automated with bots, but i used this base as a fun project to do. i actually loved setting up a bot network to provide all the materials to build this base. that was a fun challenge

As a new player, I find that the real joy of this game is what you personally create, and not what you actually achieve. I love my first shitty factory. I spent hours making an abomination. It was so bad that I started over, but I will never forget it. Seeing your masterpiece gives hope for a new day!

I don't know if this is your first time doing KZbin or not, but I looked at your history expecting to see 100s of videos and I saw 3! I then realized that you only have 100 subs!!! If this is your first time doing KZbin, you are by far the best beginner KZbinr ever!! You shouldn't have any trouble gaining popularity due to your narration skills and the way you inform the viewers without making it boring or overwhelming. Keep up the absolutely excellent work!!

[@luk4aaaa]

This is 10x more impressive when you actually understand all of this, holy shit dude well done!

[@Zomboinie]

Man, does nobody understand the appeal of a digitally-altered voice? Griswold is an alternate persona, disconnected from whoever actually makes the videos, and the voice modulation is used as a tool to keep them separate. It's an artistic presentation of the factory, the video itself is part of the spectacle. Do you not hear the cheesy "1990's instructional tape" music playing in the background? The way that the script is written out in a manner complimenting the music and general vibe of the video? It's ART! ART, I TELL YOU! Great vid Griswold. I look forward to seeing more videos like this from you, on even more complicated and esoteric subjects in future.

[@sarat6488]

It’s bad.

[@dentjoener]

It's not that I don't mind the altered voice or the persona it's trying to represent. The video is very informative in it's own right. It's just that the software makes the voice sound really crappy. Like hard compression, or warbled tape crappy. It's really annoying to listen to. Love the video and the train setup though!

[@OddWorlderer]

I do not understand how you measure the quality of a video audio. I can hear the "altered" voice crystal clear on low volume (15-20%?). Please elaborate, is your expectation just higher?

[@jamescor6610]

Not at all novel ideas are great in execution, keep the altered voice if you can learn how to smooth it a bit because the low-high peak fluctuations make it hard to follow and concentrate on what you're saying without feeling a sense of frustration and annoyance as you process both the words and the tone that doesn't quite match. Essentially you're working against what we're naturally tuned to hear when we expect to hear a real human's voice. Don't get me wrong, its cool and nifty if it were to be an artistic draw, but not for an informative video if you were making one. Personally, this was my first experience with your content and already I'm pushed away because I don't want to be frustrated listening while trying to learn.

[@dudemanbruh4214]

i bet he just has a high pitched voice

[@spartan456]

This is why I love the Creative Mode mod. I love to fire up a game and experiment with it. I mostly like looking at throughput and consumption numbers for insane setups, because it gives me an idea of how much of X material I would actually need to sustain Y amount of throughput. And if I wanted to experiment further and see a more "realistic" scenario using miners or oil refineries instead of magical boxes that produce it for me, I can easily set that up and see how it all runs. It's useful information for actual games, because I can plan something out to hit that specific level of throughput, and even if I can't actually supply it for a very long time, it's ready for that expansion when I can make it happen, no additional work needed. I would experiment with that map for ages, trying to see if I could conceivably supply it with another set of trains dropping off crude, iron, and copper ore. I think it would be prudent to keep the ant farm rails isolated from the rails going further out to resources, so they don't end up taking absurdly long trips that clog up the factory. A dozen single car trains running in with crude oil could dump crude into a tank, and that tank could have a pickup station on the other side of it that the ant farm trains go to for getting oil, but these two rail networks never actually intersect with one another. Now I kinda want to download this and experiment with it, haha.

As amazing as the build is, the best part of this video is the "90's shopping mall" sax music.

[@ihorzaiets2150]

I saw this video a few years ago. Man, it was in my recs, and i didn't even see whole thing, but patterns in this video was engraved in my head. Every time i was planning my factory or trains, i tried to copy that layout as very effective. I remembered, that it was that exact video, but i never asked myself 'why am i using it?'. Now, when i saw it again, all memories refreshed, like i'm in school again and i'm 15-16 y.o. Amazing factory

[@chessie2003]

One of the most iconic Factorio videos of all time.

[@colonelburton8451]

An RPM factory was my end-game project but I have to admit I started encountering so many new snags that I started getting frustrated and gave up, since I could never really figure out the circuits and wires system when things got complicated. I take my hat off to some of the incredible Factorio projects on youtube, and sometimes I feel somewhat unfulfilled that I never even made it one third through my project. Then again maybe it's better that way since I already played a great deal of Factorio, always had a good time and these endgame mammoth projects aren't really very satisfying because in the end, you spent a lot of time on a final challenge and then were left with nothing more to achieve. So I guess I'm happy with having tried... and having collected all the achievements XD

[@smeghed1025]

I think a lot of people would be interested in watching a play through with this base as the final goal of the series. I personally would love to see how this base could evolve to accommodate to what is required for all the cells required for the production of "game ressources" (such as science, power production ramp, etc.)

[@jdwoods2008]

I used this save game file to make a blueprint that I built aside my starter base, placed some trains, train stops and routes, and then fed it enough raw materials for it to operate. Fabulous fun. I added another row of the track loops across the top and built stops for all the sciences and completed SpaceX with it. Thanks for the video and the file.

[@budderdtoast8458]

this video was far far better than i expected when i saw it on reddit

[@contentiouscritic]

Not to be "that guy" but once you have 100+ hours into a single vanilla run, you definitely have the raw resources to build this within another 50 or so hours. Maybe not without construction bots, but the fact the factory works without them doesn't mean you can't use them to build it. So my 20,000 construction bots, in my giangantic robo/power grid, should be able to build this pretty quick. The real work was in designing it. That is the truly impressive part. Insane work. Very inspiring.

[@farmasinema]

After playing in factorio for years, i found the biggest challenge is not the factory layout for RPM factory. . But how the distance from their mining, the random factor how the richness of resources being generated, and how you defend all of that due massive pollution being generated. You have to take into account how much it took for a train to arrive from their mining outpost. And you have to expand further and further away, which mean more time it took for a train to arrive. You gonna use more train as time goes by to made up the gap, means more train track, taking congestion into account, and so on... Damn..I love this game...
