Factorio - Let's Play Space Age II Episode 1

[@mnkp0x]

I can't believe you are not using bots to build all this, straight up rawdogged an absolute unit of a base you're a mad lad

[@MikeJones-kh2be]

You’re obviously new here lol

[@MrJouwi]

i can imagine the dark eye circles on this dude

[@therealdoomedcow]

Not judging, i am new here. Is no bots a thing on this channel?

[@samuelkland6029]

​@@therealdoomedcowyeah. This dude is a belt and inserter purist.

[@Epi88]

“Yeah, basic stuff” he says. Meanwhile I’m looking back at my spaghetti in tears.

[@nyaade]

I have to compliment your elegant layout. It's impressive to see such a clean, precision style right from the start of a base build. Thankyou for posting.

[@nitthecroller]

You should see how he plays Factorio. Video on his channel. First, make sure your sanity points are high...

[@kenelee4520]

Easily one of the best content creator for Factorio. Dreadfully underrated. Thankyou for your time Sir, I look forward to the rest of the series.

[@SneakyGun]

You can now horizontally and vertically flip the oil refinery and chemical plant, which allows you to put inputs of the same type right next to eachother. Not sure if you're aware, just wanted to point it out since this allows for more interesting and elegant designs. Loving the series, especially the timelapses!

[@theguys5100]

I rarely if ever comment on youtube videos. I can really hear the dissapoinment at not being able to get the 'Perfect' timelapse, from a viewer perspective i did not even notice the frame loss tbh. Keep up the work, you seem so sincere and echoed the very same anxieties i had on my first playthrough. It really is a brand new game.

[@TheNowerianRaven]

As someone who is trying to build something heavily inspired by this but based more on trains than belts,before leaving Nauvis, there is just so much stuff you have to acount for, if you never done stuff like this before, it doesnt help that im alergic to doing all the math that i should be doing before that. I cant imagine how long you have spent actually developing all the systems for your building style. So whatever i end up with will atleast look nice. I always started to build bigger bases but sooner or later lost interest because i like to be researching while doing stuff and by the time i figured what i want to do i had researched everything and didnt have the motivation to continue, but with space age there is still so much to look forward to. I could have left Nauvis 40h ago but im still having fun there.

[@riffzifnab9254]

"I'm a little bit outside of my comfort zone" I think that should be the tag line for Space Age. It makes you deal with new problems and your old solutions don't work anymore. Good on you for restarting, looking forward to the improvements you make. (:

[@peterdontcare6161]

Good to see you back with another shot. Alternative takes on Factorio design are always a must see.

[@nicodemuseam]

About 26:40. I can't describe how satisfying that looks, to see all of those belts filled. Myself, I hardly plan my factory ahead of time, and I can never get things looking quite so organized. Nice work!

[@gotreactions]

I'd really love a closer look at your factory. Looks very nice.

[@theotherbigfoot]

Let me finish Nauvis and I'll upload it no probs

[@lordbadoc1137]

Love the base design I feel like some KZbinrs go really hard on making efficient bases and they always just look kinda ehh but I always love seeing bases that are well-designed and aesthetically pleasing

[@zkry2952]

we are so back

[@EloNis93]

God damn i love your design style. Ur capable to design things that universally look always the same for most people to look great and still be perfectly functional and hats off to you for that. Im looking forward to your next videos!

[@antonuramer]

You will almost definitely want to make efficiency 2 on Nauvis both for space platforms and potentially for an early Fulgora base.

[@funtik0609]

I have the same with factorio. The start is so painful, but as soon as I have some robots and I have my base build in my head it’s making so much fun😅

[@marv6424]

I love the base blocks parts you build, looks so cool!

[@philippst7071]

Love your style! MechArmor also saves you from your trains :)

[@eriafi]

Love the weaving effect with the inserters in the starting smelting columns!!! One thing I've noticed in my games, the bigger the starting area, the further away the first resource patches (outside of the initial ones) are too.

[@Ashrok]

This is insane! Awesome production value. Really under appreciated atm, hats off. How many in game hours did this first episode take?

[@theotherbigfoot]

Cheers dude, that's very kind. 78 hours of mostly fun pain

[@Failezz_swe]

My OCD is happy man. Great too see ya have a go at this again. 10/10 -will follow-

[@szymoniak75]

wow I randomly thought 'wondering if Bigfoot has uploaded his second Space Age attempt yet', opened KZbin and it's the first thing that shows up

[@jsbrads1]

Sacrilege, there is no such thing as too much railway! 😅

[@iceburg8599]

The new rails look amazing, and the pipe mods and helmod work again! We are so back ladies and gentlemen, can’t wait for the next episode!

[@Dark_shadow4056]

the max belt length i think was talked about in a fff but later removed.

[@Skall-ex]

Goddamn. The alternating placement on branches of walls and concrete looks sick. Must be soo time consuming to run back and forth for that effect.

[@theotherbigfoot]

Yes, but it is never not worth it

[@eseilawimpershlaak]

I am confused. Where did he get the materials for the first huge things? The base only started to produce anything at like 2:30, but there was so much stuff built already!

[@fartface8918]

it seems as tho he just got it from handfed/low tech smelting, wouldnt be suprised if some time was edited out or sped up more then other footage but overall it looks normal in terms of stuff over time

[@raizors1331]

Probably hand-craft a ton

[@ThatOliveMrT]

In my base once i want to walk in train territory i just summon my personal train and get around that way. Usually faster too. You can even have personal robots deploy the train with fuel

[@WhaoIfeelgood]

Im very curious to see how you are going to integrate the foundries n things into your base design :D I'm also loving the monorail design, definitely made notes about that one !

[@namshimaru]

Loving space age so far, saying my gleba base is struggling would be generous.

[@81gamer81]

Not even 10 min in and you got a really good starter. Nice :)

[@Vampandamonium]

do you have a guide on your blocks? (the layout of your rectangle factories)? not the assembler placement with belt video, but the size of the overall rectangle, etc and your thoughts on your choices?

[@theotherbigfoot]

The question you are asking is deep and complicated. It is part of a subject which I have written several scripts to try and address but have not been able to get right. The best answer I can give you right now is to trust your gut. Pick a block size that you think is about right, try it out, see how you feel about it and next time you build another factory do the same again. Once you have done this a few times you'll start to get a feel for what works for you. Which will no doubt be slightly or completely different from what I do. It's your factory, trust your gut with how you feel about it. To go one step further, I've been playing this game for years now and pretty much since day 1 I've been trying to squeeze factories into tight spaces. The more I do it the better I get. I can only give so much advice when part of the answer lies in a lot of hard work, of attempting and failing and learning.

[@Dragon-ug2wg]

Always great to see a bigfoot upload :D

[@thetimekeeper92]

Been waiting for this 🙏

[@GewaltSam]

While I'm glad that you found back to your comfort zone, I just hope you are not too tied to the way you did things in the past. It's obvious you're using builds you're very used to, it might hinder you in reinventing some things though. Just a thought, you do you of course :) Great video, and I love your choice of music!

[@petterstown9814]

Did they fix loading sprite glitch? If not pls upload more of this😊

[@GenFalcon]

Awesome builds.

[@daystarzgaming3034]

Any chance of a game save or anything? Patreon or otherwise. Iv'e been a viewer since the first K2 timelapse and love your build style, I tried to follow along with the first SA series but there's a few areas not covered at times, Mega-Base for Life.

[@theotherbigfoot]

Someone has already asked, it is on my to-do list. I want to get the factory on Nauvis to a particular point first. It'll probably be episode 2.

[@daystarzgaming3034]

@theotherbigfoot many thanks 🙌❤️

[@Coldblooded234]

How do you get your factories to look so nice? I try to make mine nice and they all devolve into a mess eventually lmao.

[@Akeruyri]

I highly recommend going back through his catalogue of videos as he discusses many of the design points and decisions he makes. Much of it is having rigid rules for how things should be placed within your base and adhearing to them

[@014Darkness]

lots of planning and experience probably help... I started watching bigfoot because of this as well

[@B44Life]

chefs kiss

[@kraska_gopro]

Is it really factorio if you're not afraid to die by being hit by train?

[@jentazim]

What is the song that starts at 36:15? It's really good.

[@theotherbigfoot]

Sonic Waves by Dmytro Somov (motion array) motionarray.com/royalty-free-music/sonic-waves-2784298/

[@bulldogg4]

Can you add a mod list to the description? There's definitely some kind of pipe mod happening the shots near the end showing your oil and the station for it make that obvious you have a load of pipe that should be connecting to each other that just aren't

[@theotherbigfoot]

Done

[@DavidSmith-cr7mb]

oh boy here we gooooooo

[@shiwomizh2319]

Great video ! But what's the song at 1:50 ?

[@theotherbigfoot]

Manifested - Ryan Jon Smith (motion array) motionarray.com/royalty-free-music/manifested-2944427/

[@Skall-ex]

31:45 How about doing elevated rails over the bus here, then you can free up the walking space

[@81gamer81]

Should be some way to have doors open and close if train is coming. Think I saw Kathrine have it years ago edit. nevermind you did it :)

[@faizey]

How do you get the pipes to not interact and stay straight when they are next to each other?

[@theotherbigfoot]

Flow control - its a mod

[@ДанилИванов-г7р]

sexy block creator, absolute legend😎

[@sobenirvanaify]

How do you capture you game like this?

[@theotherbigfoot]

TLBE - It's a mod. I even have a tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXLGk5Rnr9Roo8k

[@Acdanix3]

I think you should explain stuff while playing , like during timelapses yk

[@Buchnerd_Souly]

20:23 There is no thing to have to much railway. :P

[@pill0h130]

38:58, why so many pipes? You only really need one since pipes have infinite throughput now in 2.0.

[@theotherbigfoot]

One pipe doesn't look enough to me. I want more. Regardless of whether it is sensible or not.

[@alexa8186]

You and I are playing different games

[@Acdanix3]

20:40 with mech armor you cant be hit by trains btw

[@theotherbigfoot]

I know, it's just a cool concept I wanted to explore

[@crazyjake229]

God it's so pretty i just can't look away

[@TigreDemon]

Your starting area is Texas lmao

[@elroge]

Bro still allergic to bots

[@wajhatimtiyaz8371]

Why doesn't he use bots?

[@Margot-Sinew]

yesssssssss

[@yukito2383]

Don't look at quality.. it will be your downfall...

[@DavidSmith-cr7mb]

I dont plan to until im on aquila lmao. except MAYBE to try for some pwr armor and other specific tools

[@SoMuchFacepalm]

@@DavidSmith-cr7mb Armor and exos are a good investment before going to Gleba. Being able to run/fly away from stompers is a must.

[@Seedzification]

too much walls
