How To INDUSTRIALIZE A New Planet | MAX DIFFICULTY | #18 | Dyson Sphere Program | Lets Play

[@dougdaniels7848]

Nothing makes me feel better about my playthroughs than when I see Nilaus also arriving on a planet with a grand plan involving huge blueprints, only to get completely sidetracked by a single resource bottleneck :D

[@Timmzy27]

Love the Thumbnail Nilaus, top notch!

[@esumiwa5583]

Nilaus! The Thumbnail is so awesome!

[@mepiquat5693]

Every time you or JD talks about BABs I always think about Base Attack Bonus from various d20 games... And then I hear you start "base attack.." I don't know if you had the same slip up, but I caught that and was pleased!

[@WolfPlaysGames2]

After you build your assault base, why not use a global BP to stamp down BABs and signal towers everywhere at once? They'd just replicate across the planet and wipe out everything in just a couple minutes. It should work great on ice and lava planets.

[@AbsoluteHuman]

I actually want to see that in action now...

[@tmanook]

Interesting idea.

[@rodbonner7370]

He would have to smooth out everything for that to work otherwise he would have breaks in his lines.

[@WolfPlaysGames2]

@@rodbonner7370 Lava and Ice planets should be fine. He'd just need to have enough buildings that there are multiple pathways to each one, that way if a few don't place, it will come from another direction. Even if it misses a few, it should kill 90% of the hives.

[@vino18072]

Hi Nilaus ! Really love your video :) Maybe you can try adding BAB to your planetary signal tower blueprint. Did that in my game (derived from your blueprint, it's not pretty but efficient) so every BAB is in range of the next and they cover all the solar panel rings. This way, the whole blueprint build itself and you gain sooo much time. It also help building future blueprint without having to put BAB each time (and you can always remove them if needed). Anyway, keep having fun and teaching us the efficient way

[@kanetsb]

6:14 - I did exactly the same thing yesterday. For me it was the warper production chain that ate all the deuterium.

[@vladmarks1595]

U need 6-7 shields for full protection, but, instead of this, U use 100500 shields and rockets to make Fog angry ))) nice strategy, I like it)

[@AbsoluteHuman]

It's 7-8. 6 is not enough for sure, I tried.

[@theonlycolby]

I'm pretty positive for full protection of all buildings built at all heights requires much more shield generators. When you have so few the shield becomes really low to the ground.

[@Waggabagaboo]

Do you know whether low stops new bases or not?

[@theonlycolby]

@@Waggabagaboo shield generators only protect your planet from space attacks. They don't prevent any spread of dark fog. At least from what I've heard and my experience.

[@theonlycolby]

Btw for instance, I typically have around 18 shield generators. So 16 spread out on each side of the equator, basically on the edge of the largest most normal square grid, 8 on each side, and 2 more on each pole, makes my planet pretty much fully protected at the maximum altitude all the way around. 99%+ protection as the stat.

[@chimmy_jim]

I can't bring myself to pave over that free power on lava planets

[@TenHorizons]

Hi Nilaus, about complaints you are receiving on you taking the fun out of it, I think viewers don't realise how long you've been playing the game, and the blueprints are all your creations. If viewers are using your blueprints without trying at least once themselves, then yes they are taking out the fun for themselves. The solution is to simply not use your blueprints, and try it themselves TLDR Don't worry about those complaints Nilaus, and viewers, just don't use the blueprints

[@TheJosephegould]

I personally like to make my half rate attempt and then use Nilaus's blueprints to scale up

[@BMO_Creative]

If the game is about exploration, then Nilaus is your best bud! He gives you the plans, you gotta initiate them! Great stuff!

[@tanthokg]

25:05 imagine doing this with basic miners. Advanced ones are truly life-savers

[@alanblanks]

Appreciate your videos, It's fun to follow along sometimes (sort of a connect-the-dots approach is fun) but sometimes you've got to draw outside the lines. The order in the chaos provided by your blueprints let me really go off the map/outside the lines. Your videos make the game have more order. Thank you.

[@walsand]

i godamn love city blocks

[@jasons6419]

If you take out the relay stations like that first, you can take out the rest with just your ground units. I was able to do that fairly easily. No missile turrets needed. I have 4 slots unlocked for the ground units.

[@Carbar_8]

appreciate all that you do and liking the dyson sphere program videos, could you do a quick guide on how to import the dyson sphere designs you share. keep up the great work

[@ezioauditore5616]

25:01 why and how do you have spaceships flying around your planet???

[@JaRyCu]

That thumbnail... OMG it was great.

[@arkitektual]

I pretty much added flow sensors to every blueprint of yours as I’ve mutated yours. Would have helped your flue supply woes in the beginning

[@infernalz1337]

Praise the Omnissiah! A new forge world!

[@kentheknight]

The thumbnail art is funny! I love you!!

[@buzz1ebee]

I wonder if you could make a blueprint which covers a planet in BABs and towers, then just plonk it down after setting up your equator base and see all the bases fall.

[@RainbowSkyDancer]

fantastic as always, and happy new year to you and yours

[@AbsoluteHuman]

8:50 well, I don't have any real problem clearing unpowered level 30 bases without any prep at this tech, just four fleets of drones and antimatter capsules. Maybe a tiny outpost with a dozen or two laser turrets to retreat to.

[@alkatron768]

I just managed to clear the starting planet of the Max difficulty Dark Fog. I mean, I got the help of the blueprints

[@Yardiff]

I await the day when Nilaus makes a Planetary Sector blueprint that takes in ores and makes Iron, Copper and Magnets. :) Then belts the lot directly into another Planetary Sector blueprint that makes Electric Motors, Electromagnetic Turbines, and Super-Magnetic Rings. ;)

[@kanetsb]

I love how when you get to those insane levels of complexity in this game, the x264 encoding of video just doesn't know what to do anymore. :)

[@ExceedProduction]

Is there a reason you put your receiving stations on remote supply? For my receiving stations I usually go remote storage, so they don't waste energy sending stuff somewhere. Like, dedicated senders, dedicated receivers.

[@Astra_Agnon]

4:30 "The taldarim death fleeet is invading this wolrd..."

[@lfla0179]

I didn't figure out how to feed a BAB with drones but still leave empty slots for hive dropped junk... 🤔

[@AdamSaxton]

haha 171m soil pile when you put foundations. Oh the days of scrounging for soil pile in the beginning to mid game. :)

[@Yardiff]

Soil pile used to be fairly easy - make a blueprint with dots of belts in a grid. Stamps down almost anywhere, doesn’t attempt to fill seas/lava/holes, deconstruct and place down again elsewhere.

[@Mirality]

You get free soil from the darkfog.

[@AdamSaxton]

@@Mirality yeah that was my point that you get it potentially way easier now with the dark fog, assuming you are either mining it or you have it on the highest difficulty.

[@crunch3rYouTube]

this was awesome! 👍

[@Eirael]

Me not having this production 200 hours in. Nilaus: oh yeah, mid game smelting

[@dragonsoul0815]

hi Nilaus, love your videos! one question: why are you not upgrading the ressource gather rate so you also use less ressources? I think that is super important when you play on 0.5 ressources, no?

[@Christian-jc6gf]

The dark fog just seem to me like more of a pest than an enemy at this stage. Hopefully they'll change how they work in the next few updates?

[@michaelhanson5773]

Right? I mean i am not playing on full max settings, but it just seems that basically once you can supply enough power to systems and have a few upgrades you can wipe them off the planets easily, put up and sustain shields to stop them from coming back and starve the hives... You may eventually just have to deal with some space attacks here or there until the hive is basically dead but really not bad at all...

[@AdamSaxton]

Yeah it's similar though to Factorio. In Factorio Deathworld, the real problem is the beginning. If you get past that and get good defenses, then it's kinda trivial. seems the same here with the Dark Fog. I'm waiting to see where they go with it though. Eagerly awaiting some news about the future vision.

[@theonlycolby]

For me max difficulty took around 5 hours to clear my starting planet. Once the home planet is cleared you pretty much have full control over your progress. While I do agree they become easy at some point, that point is so much later in the game and so much harder to fight than normal. It gives a reason to use better ammo types. It gives a problem of not being able to get titanium as early, unless you farm I think? For me I cleared my start world so I couldn't farm, so I had to find a way to land on a planet and clear it with just the first 2 matrix tiers unlocked. I don't think much more difficulty is possible, except maybe scaling their health later in the game.

[@CamelEnjoyer]

A mod for this similar to the rampant mod in factorio would be a really interesting way to address this

[@GabrielBallardin]

How do you keep the FPS high in an advanced savegame in this game? My game is at 10fps, my PC is good.

[@omnimous69]

I like those builds other than the planetary logistics. I'd have interstellar hubs for each build so it just exports directly. Uses more power but if you were to up your deterium output to Like 40 fractionators worth at least and a good 100 at least assemblers for rods before going galactic that solves it.

[@Mirality]

He does have some blueprints with ILS if you want, but I think i agree that it makes more sense to have all your ILS in one place so you can easily see what each planet is importjng/exporting, and you can keep all your warpers in one place. It also helps you ensure that some resources are only used locally, when you don't want to waste time shipping it around, since it's difficult to limit logistics routes.

[@Quintinius31]

There's no way you can feed a forge world with that low number of ILS. Even a full upgraded ILS has trouble feeding 4x30/sec smelting belts

[@AndreySi-e4x]

Thank you for a good video!

[@thomass4269]

Hey Nilaus, which cpu do you have? A x3d?

[@Cornetto616]

all the left behind idle construction helper BAPs in nilauses universe could probably power my whole factory 🤔

[@michaelhanson5773]

Besides the 4x power consumption, any other reason you not using plane smelters?

[@Nilaus]

I don't have unipolar magnets. This requires farming lvl 24+ bases or taking over the most heavily infected system. In the very very late game I may use them, but not now

[@TaoriUTS]

i wonder if there will ever be a day when i watch a nilaus video where i do not feel like a noob despite playing something for a while already. does anyone know if i missed a reasoning as to why accumulators are not used as energy source?

[@cartoonkeeper]

They don't make power by themselves so are used mostly for power spike management

[@Quintinius31]

I use them for systems without dyson swarm/sphere. I get a equatorial solar panel belt and then use them for more powaa. I have a central facility powered by dyson sphere that export them en masse. They got a great buff now that you can proliferate them.

[@dazley8021]

Is there a reason why youre not using Pilers?

[@Nilaus]

I do when necessary, but they are not in these builds (Diamond build includes them)

[@adammurdoch1708]

Remember before they had blueprints dark times i tell ya but really you have that down abit too efficient my man

[@michaelhanson5773]

I wouldnt say O type are the best... In my seeds, the Blue Giants have pretty much the same luminosity, but because they allow much larger shperes are actually better... Not sure if the O are the best in your seed because maybe your giants are weak or something...

[@AdamSaxton]

I've seen blue giants that have higher luminosity. Not much higher though. But they can have more than an O-type. I've also seen in the new game star map where Blue giants count in the O-Type number. O Types are better though in my opinion as they have more planets and resources available to them.

[@michaelhanson5773]

​​@@AdamSaxtoni dunno... In my seed the blue giants have more planeta than the O type and a couple of them have 1 planet circling a gas giant...

[@AdamSaxton]

@@michaelhanson5773Interesting, I've not seen a blue giant have more than an O type. typically, the O type has 6 or so planets. At most I've seen 3 planets on a Blue Giant, one of which being a Gas/Ice Giant.

[@natholomas]

How do you get your space fleet to attack the planet from orbit?

[@barbapappaowns]

Upper right hand corner, click the box "attack relay stations" and that will enable it.

[@michaelhanson5773]

Use z to open your command view. Choose to select space fleet (upper right). Then select the options (upper right).

[@DtWolfwood]

What's the command to paint within the gridlines?

[@Nilaus]

there is no command, just practice

[@jurjen909]

the game auto stops you from painting over the fault/zone line where the squares go from smalles to largest

[@michaelhanson5773]

​@@jurjen909only stops it to a point... If you keep moving past the line too much it will jump across the line, but as long as you keep about half of the 10x10 square on one side it will not cross over...

[@mcraft5559]
