Can I just tip my hat to my brilliant editor, Bluefi, for the incredible sequence from 11:56-12:38? Edit: M'Lady Edit 2: Also be sure to go check out Trupen and Nilaus and DoshDoshington who are far more skilled Factorians than me. Collective hat tip to them as well.

@@ambiguousamphibian simple rule: chain rail signals going into an intersection, rail signals at the exits

[@aggressivefox454]

@@AIexRAwesomethat always confused me. Don’t chain rail signals just follow whatever the next rail signal does? So if you have rail signals at the exits then they will never know that a train is at the intersection until it has already left and then the chain rail signal won’t update until the train has already left? Btw I’m very new and I’ve been getting by on my first world with just normal rail signals

[@DoshDoshington]

@@ambiguousamphibian You're making me blush

[@rileystrom8530]

@@aggressivefox454 Basically the reason you need chain signals everywhere but the exit is because you want the train going in to be able to tell whether or not it has the space to completely clear the whole intersection. If a train stops to wait for another train in the middle of the crossed tracks, then it will end up blocking trains that normally could have continued without waiting. This increases throughput and helps avoid deadlocks, where you inadvertently make two trains trying to leave actually block EACHOTHER which you'll have to fix manually. The chain signals pass their "hey is the next block open??" back through eachother, all the way to the beginning, making trains wait there instead of in the middle. If the normal signal at the exit was a chain signal instead, you're basically saying to the train "Hey, wait until the whole intersection is clear, and then look ahead 1 more block past the intersection and wait until it's clear" which doesn't make any sense. There's an exception however, if the block after the intersection is not big enough for your train to wait in without blocking the previous intersection, then it will 'hang its ass out' and still block the intersection even after going through it. This is where an additional chain signal could be useful on the exit.

[@LobotomiteLum]

"I just simplified everything, because it was taking up too much time" You did it, Amphibian. For a brief moment, you truly understood the duty of the Engineer. The trains taught you.

[@tetchedink7980]

This why we like trains. They teach us their ways. It was never the highway. It was always the railway

It's not the ending that matters but the journey Ambiguous Amphibian took us on like having a _maximum comfy hug_ at 2 am only to awaken 7 hours later unembraced but still _extremely comfy_ 😀😌

[@ambiguousamphibian]

That sounds pretty good tbh

[@_Lis25]

Change 2 AM to 9 AM and we're ready to go XD

[@Scottagram]

The learning curve for train signals is amazing. It's a vertical cliff covered in barbed wire that it's completely impenetrable until you accidentally find a foothold and realize it was waist-high the entire time. Completely zero-to-hero once it clicks.

[@Klerkules]

In factorio there are only two rules. 1. The factory must grow. 2. There is no wrong way to play factorio.

[@Scottagram]

I occasionally see a negative review on Steam where they craft everything by hand and complain the game is slow, so I'll say there's at least *one* wrong way to play Factorio

[@tardvandecluntproductions1278]

Embrace the spagheti

[@ThisManzzz]

This is my favourite answer, because your factory either works, or it doesn't. If it doesn't, then make it work. If it does, then keep playing and having fun lol.

[@cody4999]

Honestly, doing this kind of playthrough for your first time is super impressive. The default game is enough to drive most people a little crazy.

[@kapperbeastYT]

I'm not crazy, you're crazy! -4k hours of Factorio

[@Wah-ster]

It’s not his first attempt??

[@quickdraw6893]

It was his first victory, not necessarily "playthrough" depending on how you quantify that.

“Training Montage” absolute peak comedy ✨

[@carter110]

Getting distracted from your goals to optimize your train network is peak factorio gameplay, proud of you

[@EminemLovesGrapes]

I recently played Factorio for the first time and realised how complicated I'm making it. I have dual train tracks, passing lanes. multiple signals, looking ahead etc. It's fun but you're quite right in that it can eat up so much of your time. The signal tutorial can be rough too but once it clicks you realise it's not all that complicated.

[@brandonkoh8361]

Whats with so many challenge youtubers making compilations of their past challenges? This is like the third youtuber I know who have made more than 1 compilation of their challenge runs this year.

[@peterheinisch2294]

Algorithm stuff. The idea is that KZbin goes, "oh, you like this guy? You'll love their long format videos!". TheSpiffingBrit made a video explaining the whole idea not too long ago

[@CaptNSquared]

I also recommend The Spiffing Brit's recent video. Basically the current algorithm really likes incredibly long videos for somewhat involved reasons that involve people who fell asleep watching KZbin. So KZbinrs noticed those types of videos do well (most likely not realizing the real reason why), so they make them because it's practically a free video the audience seems to love

[@DerFreiegedanke]

Make long videos peiple fall asleep algo gives these people 2 hour video thinksbthey like it. rack up tons of money due tonads

[@shadowlord18tec]

I lost my metaphorical shit laughing "training montage" one of the best puns ive ever heard

[@NicholasWellcome]

Did you call the logistics robots "servitors"? That would be metal to replace them with floating be-candled skulls ala 40k. It would also raise questions about where you got thousands of skulls whilst alone on xenos inhabited planet.

[@juckto-007]

Funny how the outline of "Death Island" vaguely resembles the coastline of Australia.

[@Willow4526]

Good job. 2 things, one, tier 3 production models (the red ones) are better in the rocket silo than speed modules, as they save you resources which in turn saves you way more time. Two, if you thought the modules where complicated & or annoying in vanilla, don't ever go having a look at the mod bob's modules, that is a lovely hell if you like logic torture & i didn't even get to the final tiers of those modules 😅.

I don't know who Evan Bettar is, but I'm glad he helped you launch your rocket

[@7FallenFlames]

Poor frog launched a rocket without using productivity modules. We've all been there done that before.

[@MrSequeezey]

Didn’t use production modules in the rocket solo?? Straight to jail!

[@vantuz8264]

2:45 "We had demonstrated the awesome power of capitalism" Ahem, may a see the receipts for every artilley shell? No? You didn't buy them? You... produced them in a non-competetively built factory that non-competetively produces goods without a single currency exchange? You monster!

I love you frog man, keep up the random vids of games i’ll never play but thoroughly enjoy watching you game for some reason, stay sticky.

You should play Crusader Kings III again, maybe with the Oriental Empires mod. You could make Genghis Khan and try to successfully invade Japan.

Having watched some of your RW/PZ compilations, I noticed that you had a markedly lower voice back then. Is that because of equipment or mindset or on purpose?

Your suffering brought me joy. I am unsure whether this makes the joy less valuable as it came from suffering, or the suffering more worthwhile as it lead to joy. I shall ponder upon this.

5:37-637 The average factorio experience with trains. You'd think a single rail would make things easy, but it only makes things harder.

[@Jojo-uo5py]

Man, I would love for you to play Workers and Ressources: Soviet Republic and build a glorious Republic with lots of propaganda (and train networks)

[@honordevs]

Ahhhh, train networks. The thing I have undoubtably spent the most time learning and still something always goes wrong. After a few thousand hours, I can say that I'm pretty comfortable using it alongside advanced train control mods and circuits... Yes, finally, after a few thousand hours...

[@Br3ttM]

The nice thing about construction robots is that when you realize your base is a tangled mess with not enough space, you can just tear everything down, and redesign it. You lose nothing but time as long as you put your fluids in tanks that don't get deconstructed (and your defenses can hold up while doing it). For spidertrons, I fill my own armor with lasers, and the spidertron with lasers and shields, saving those expensive rockets. Run circles around bases to destroy nests before finishing off all of the biters, so you don't need to keep up with the rate of new ones spawning.

[@PlainGammer]

You completely destroyed a population of animals and burnt down a forest that is the american way

[@saino-d]

Hello amphibian, can you play shadow of doubt? It's a detective game that's really deep and complex. It'll be perfect if you could narrate it like you do.

[@DH-zm4lh]

Nothing fun in factorio.. spends 30 ish hours on the 1st real base.. WILL spend 150 hours on the next base.. says a person with 4k hours in the game

[@jiggermole]

Your whole train of even better speed modules is I think actually the level 9 speed modules long for the space exploration mod. Did you script it to be or coincidence?

[@StarGamePlanet]

To be honest 36 hours is quite a respectable time, my first playthrough took about 120 but I also built wayyyy to big

[@konan4heather]

I practically never use modules. What's the point? You can just scale up production a bit if the speed isn't satisfactory

[@ic5889]

This closely matches my experiences trying to set up a train system in my last factory. You know what also works? A really, really long belt

[@anoperkele9052]

I've followed both you and @DoshDoshington so seeing you mention him I got confused, as if Dosh had just shoutouted himself or something.

Uranium is the most worthless timesink in Factorio. Good thing you just gave up on it.

[@bunnyonabunwithagunnicepun5689]

This game needs an update where, shortly after the biters witness a Servoskull and live to tell the tale, they begin to mutate (speed of which is directly correlated to Pollution) and develop wings, allowing them to jump up cliffs, over walls, and across rivers, or something similar with the spotted and the long-range artillery pieces, maybe developing a biomass that slows you down and speeds them up after witnessing concrete, or any number of things! Anyway, this was a very fun series, at least on my end!
