Sorry for the strange pacing and monotone voice guys!! I'm not used to narration yet, itll get better over time!

[@EngineeringEvolved]

Love the strange pacing and "monotone" voice. Looking forward to seeing more factorio content from you.

[@mattlewin72]

I agree 100%. This was a fun video to watch. Don’t listen to your inner critic; he’s lying to you.

[@XoIoRouge]

I really like this commentary. I'm not a fan of aggressive live reaction. I like the patterned pacing where you say something, pause in vocals as you show what you're doing, then transition to the next thing. It's very relaxing. Your minimized tones make it feel concise, calm, and confident.

[@stykytte]

People who are into factorio are generally not into the "hAi gUyS wHaTs gOiN oN iTs yA bOi-" ott BS youtubers, this is perfect.

[@steelstudio7374]

I actually like it :D It's unique and quite funny if you ask me

[@mahathirabir6201]

Reincarnated as an engineer in a hostile world, after catching some fish the main character immediately start punching a biter nest to say, hello neighbour

[@warpedmine9682]

I thought you were going to say Hello Gorden

[@ifyoudomindustry0-0-rt3cs]

factorio the anime

[@Self-replicating_whatnot]

Reminds me how much difference the biome makes. You are in the middle of the desert so biters are quick to anger. My current playthrough in a middle of the vast god damned forest, to the point that i need to keep cutting trees just to move around or place buildings. Consequently, most of the pollution gets absorbed and biters were none the wiser up until i had flamethrower turrets.

[@torbengross7370]

1 Offshore Pump can handle 20 boilers 1200/60 = 20

[@DocJade]

Oh shoot really? Oops! I'll have to fix that in ep4

[@Subjagator]

An offshore pump is also one of the cheapest things in the game and doesn't even need power. I wouldn't worry at all about having a few extra.

[@cewla3348]

@@Subjagator but in the early game it does help to know that you can get 36mw of power through one, very cheap, building.

[@tommieaho1016]

Finally a youtuber that edits its videos. Thumbs up

[@akamen7648]

yes right so many people just uploads their full stream. Its so boring.

[@akamen7648]

also can u suggest me some of the youtubers u got?

[@AbsintheBabe]

hey man, editing is hard work, you try doing it in a way thats entertaining and retains the audience

[@juegoscubicos4410]

22:15 THE POWER POLES ARE SYNCED WITH THE MUSIC, LOVE IT

[@ColaMolaLP]

holy shit! is that on purpose? xD

[@juegoscubicos4410]

​@@ColaMolaLPI don't think so, they are placed kinda randomly. Maybe it was on purpose and I am making things up :P

[@ColaMolaLP]

@@juegoscubicos4410 It really looks randomly. That makes it even cooler and less likely though. Awesome find. When I watch it I kind of want the factorio music to continue and merge into a placement sound remix haha

[@imblackmagic1209]

the balancer filter trick is awesome!

[@DocJade]

It really is! its amazing!

[@EddieMagpie]

I am always amazed at how we all start the same but in so many different ways.. and that means there is always time to learn something new... Cheers for the new ideas.

[@deaththekid2019]

8:55 Seeing this form of smelter array gave me a sense of clarity and realization that having two lanes for plates on each side makes it so inserters don't get clogged because with one lane output for plates its still efficient but suffers output clogging with larger arrays(Why im starting to love how no matter how many hours you play factorio a single design could change how you aprroach your current design)

[@grantham-sut]

You shouldn't build walls right next to turrets, biters can damage them when they are that close. Leave a gap of 4 or 5

[@Novastar900]

To be precise: Big and behemoth biters can attack up to two tiles away - so as long as you leave a gap of one empty tile (or have a two tiles thick wall) biters can't hurt your turrets until the wall is destroyed. Small and medium biters need direct contact to damage buildings.

[@Cateleya]

​@@Novastar900but spitters can! idr exact ranges, would check wiki if i wasn't on my phone x3

[@Danjo1996]

22:16 The way the music in synchronized with the placement of the power poles pleases me.

[@ryusan7019]

Please continue this series

[@FrostMonolith]

The essence of "Doing it yourself" is strong in this one.

[@NovemberOrWhatever]

This is the first channel I've seen that makes edited Factorio videos for beginners. Thank you for making this! I can only stand unedited Factorio if it's from someone like Nefrums or Antipatience where the pace is similar to edited content.

[@defaultsplace1348]

Watching this video after already binging all of your newer content really shows how far you've come. So confused as to why you don't have more subscribers, great content.

[@stykytte]

This is easily the best first episode of a Factorio lets play I have seen in my entire 6 years of playing Factorio. Good job.

[@heinrichtheprotogen1354]

22:16 power poles placed to the notes of the music

[@DocJade]

How did I not notice that! great catch!

[@heinrichtheprotogen1354]

ADHD brain do indeed go brr

[@1Poiuytgfdsa1]

This is the cleanest-edited, most organized and thoughtful playthrough ive ever watched. Its scratching my brain in the best ways lol

[@Hawk7886]

NOOOO THE SPACESHIP! Those bastards!

[@caliperstorm8343]

I’ve been trying and failing to get into Factorio for a while now, but I think these videos are really helping me learn the game. I don’t know any of these tricks, ratios, rules of thumb, hotkeys, mechanics, etc. so seeing them in action like this is really nice.

[@moeszyslak34]

love the edit and narration style, keep 'em coming

[@cewla3348]

"well, you're about 10 minutes and 58 seconds into the video" literally 10 minutes and 58 seconds into the video also the narration style is amazing, great background noise for factorio. Always remember to wash your ores (if you have mods that allow you to) and that overproduction is better than underproduction!

[@idkwhattfimdoin]

Pretty sure he's playing a vanilla first playthrough or something similar (judging by the lack of alt mode)

[@dzzt9910]

At 22:16 the placement sounds matched up exactly to the music

[@charlieboy6668]

Fyi, 1 offshore pump can supply 20 boilers with 40 steam engines

[@tubesoq139]

found your 10th video in this series first... gonna watch them all because I think that you have serious potential as a factorio youtuber

[@Sonicsion]

Just a chilled video. Looking forward to watching the rest of the series.

[@Rufiowascool]

Discovered this channel yesterday. Love it! Easy sub!

[@emiliapains5527]

Bit late to the party but around 10:00 I started feeling I missed this game since 2020, 12:00 A bit more, 17:07 I NEED TO PLAY

[@CristalianaIvor]

anytime I can't fall asleep, I subscribe to 10 new new factorio channels!

[@Hawk7886]

Hah, same here. The sound of belts being built is really relaxing.

[@legonut78]

Great series. Awesome. One of the best actually. But damn this is more ads than any content I’ve seen.

[@ribaldc3998]

I played some factory runs with biters, but my last games played "peacefully", if biters were in the way I got rid of them.

[@ihavetwofaces]

5:45 - "ad infinitum, ad nauseam"

[@nan0m373r]

Hey, thanks for the quality content! This is exactly how I like my Factorio videos. But why do you make two output belts in furnace arrays?

[@DocJade]

Good question! It makes it easier to upgrade the throughput of the belts earlier when you unlock steel furnaces current belts look like this 111111111111 111111111111 what we can do is upgrade to the steel furnaces, but now we don't have room left on the yellow belts! so what can we do? a balancer! balancing the lanes gives us access to both sides of the belt for item placement, so our new setup looks like this 111111|>111111 111111|>111111 and now you can stick a red balancer at the end to get a full red belt out! 111111|>111111|> 111111|>111111|>222222 does this help in the long run? probably not, but it's mostly a stylistic choice :)

[@Kitten-Master]

1:36 its infinite so long as the coal patch doesnt run dry :P

[@mikewalko536]

Jeb!

[@Thundawich]

When you're doing the beltweaving thing, if you put an inserter on the splitter does it take from input and output side?

[@justsomedude8324]

How are you all getting starting biter bases without worms? Every time i pick random seed without looking i get a biter base 2-3 chunks away from my iron ore with several worms guarding it. >.< Default settings worked way better before they were 'fixed'.

[@DocJade]

Strange! I guess it's just luck? I have no idea, I've never had problems with worms early game

[@Pashka-lojka]

1 млн/час - звучит многа. Пока я не открыл свой старый мир - 2.5 млн/час.

[@BDOLanni]

i keep noticing you doing this, please place your turrets and flamethrowers further from your walls... about 8-10 spaces back from them. spitters will keep destroying them like they do to you if they are too close.

[@goldenhell9]

Awesome video! Curious why you're using 2 belts for output from the smelters? Couldn't you just use 1 belt?

[@DocJade]

I've answered this on another comment, so ill paste that here :) Good question!

you can put input and output on the same belt even without filters if you're not a coward

Yes, especially there is no spoon More complex stuff to do in 8 hours than a few years ago

[@agarthansupersoldier]

21:19 brother, are you playing on a deathworld or what? Why are there so many biters while you are only researching green science?

[@DocJade]

Nope! I just tend to overbuild my walls a little. Also not many trees allows pollution to spread faster, so more biters.

You build more what 🤨
