I Beat Factorio Space Age - It's Even Better Than We Expected

[@ImNotVenzer]

OK guys 30k views in less than 2 days is absolutely mental. Glad you're enjoying Space age as much as I am though. Now I'm starting to worry because the next logical step is megabasing and I'm pretty sure that would result in me getting even less sleep than I currently do :^D

yo i have been seeing a lot of ULTRAKİLL soundtrack in your videos it whould be good to see a ULTRAKİLL video from you. btw keep going i like your videos and think you should do more.

[@cosminmitrasca5812]

Things I learned this video: 1. What the endgame goal is. 2. Just how intricate each planet is 3. That I will be doubling my existing 1.5k hours in the game just to finish the game once. Well done on the video, quite well explained and to the point.

[@ethanmckeon1600]

Late reply but after tackling my gleba base and deciding to see how you did it I am facinated with your methodology I went in only busing the fruit + nutrients on a belt and never EVER Making mash or Jelly unless it was immediately needed for a recipe The reasoning was that the raw fruit always kept 60 times better when unprocessed so only turning it into the processed when needed helps cut down on spoliage... Additionally I just always designed around spoliage existing with all of my designs... It was not IF but WHEN the stuff spoils... and I made a turbo lane which I used filter splitters to make it so that only spoilage can pass out of a closed system where materials wait to get processed until they rot. Only burning spoilage I might go with your system of constant flow for when I upgrade my base from 1.5 SPM to 150 SPM once I get the later game gear... as your methodology seems to keep stuff fresher and more MW dense stuff to burn. I only watched a bit of your gleba plahtrough as I want my designs to be unique BUT... I went and watched your other mod playthroughs and they are excellent. You earned a sub and are IMO on par with Dosh's playthroughs. I'll be watching through your backlog

[@Kai-tu7xw]

still waiting to play myself but leaving a comment for engagement

[@tomjack1000000]

I'm only part way through. You already know this you're going to have such a great time with it

[@JacobC-d2b]

If your waiting for a sale to hit, There's never gonna be one. The devs themselves stated it's apart of their philosophy that they will never put the game (or docs) on discount So what are you waiting for, my friend? Let's start growing the factory!

[@Kai-tu7xw]

@JacobC-d2b Don't worry, I know. I'm just working through the backlog first

[@shroomer3867]

I've started it and I'm 14 hours in (24 if you count blueprint making and planning) and still on Nauvis 😭😭 Also, one thing which did catch me off guard was the fact that some recipes and techs have changed, so for example, cliff destroying explosives require you to explore space and some other science now, but I think there's less cliffs on Nauvis overall.

[@ЄгорСичов]

32 hours, still on nauvis.​@@shroomer3867

[@QuestionableObject]

The way I try to think about Gleba is to do things backwards from standard factorio where you prioritize supply over demand to stop sudden shortages. Gleba because everything has timed life you wanna build the demand first and then build just enough supply to meet that demand to minimize the odds of spoilage, all while using the fastest belts and inserters and most compact design you can get to minimize travel time.

[@tomsterbg8130]

Good thinking! Also there's a trick with crafting stuff that spoils slower before you put it on belts.

[@andresmartinezramos7513]

I like Gleba because it encourages you to think in terms of JIT and Lean production methods, rather than the capital heavy mass production of Nauvis and Vulcanus

[@NubeBuster]

Can one just use circuits to balance/stop inputting ingredients?

[@rowanpreston4866]

This video is as high quality as the expansion, thank you Venzer

[@loadingninja3486]

My current solution for gleba is to ship over all parts for a rocket silo and a rocket, so I can ship myself back to nauvis and just play with the fun planets a bit more before coming back to this headache

[@ZealothXyven]

Fuck. Spoilage.

[@Frozen_Hope]

Making most of it is pretty annoying but the rocket fuel is honestly super simple on gleba

[@grayhill6728]

I did the same and found out evolution was ramping up the whole time. Next time I am not going until I am ready to stay.

[@wrightzk1]

Same, came vack about 80 hours later and had to crutch my way to enough carbon fiber to come back with apidertrons ​@grayhill6728

Been waiting for this video... been clicking on your channel every day to check for it

[@teorloges315]

Star Craft 2 ahhh I missed you Terran theme 4, ahhh, i heard that like 1 million times, its so great

[@jaspervaneck3258]

FYI, you can use arithmetic combinator substraction with the whole belt read and a constant combinator with a "target amount" for each chunk type and set filters on the grabbers from the output, you can do the same with inserters, of course. The reverse can also be done to throw things overboard that are surplus, or don't belong, automatically.

[@szalyn8849]

I want to watch this rn, like, I really really want, but only now I'm preparring to get to Aquillo for the first time. But once I wrap up with Aquillo, you bet that this video is the first one I'll watch

[@mr.crow6490]

And I thought the base game was complex, this just takes it to a whole other level also glad to see another "The Messenger OST" enjoyer, that intro goes hard

[@negativerainbow]

Finally cooled off from my high from beating the dlc myself last week and was itching to watch some videos on it. I think this video was done excellently! It was super well paced and enjoyable throughout!

[@Big_kahuna_guy]

"call me a bad engineer if you must" Brother as a field engineer on a real job site, the actual engineers dont even know how to answer a phone. Take your time. I know they fucking do.

[@FerrumAnulum]

Tip for new players. When going to a new planet. Throw the landing down to a planet BEFORE you head down yourself. Not only and you pick it up before you start exploring and then plop it down when you find a spot you like, but also falling cargo pods will kill you so having a the landing pad down first before dropping everything else for safety.

[@deathsyrup]

Fulgora as starting planet and Nauvis Deathworld makes for the perfect multiplayer coop experience. Turns Nauvis into a late game raid with a quick early game progression from recycling.

[@LoyDizak]

That actually sounds really great

[@somewhatpractical]

Bro. I pulled up this video to play in the background as I play Factorio and those intro alert alarms set such a panic!

[@MSpotatoes]

I love the expansion. It adds a huge new layer to the game. My one issue is with quality and some quality recipes.

[@acenovaYT]

Only thing i dont like is that pollution is replaced with spores on gleba. There should have been a way to introduce both enemies on the same planet (like biter meteors raining down meaning that somewhere on nauvis there are mega spitters capable of spitting biters into space) also the ice planet could have reused the pollution mechanic the same way by renaming it heat ig deep sea ice creatures that are attracted by pollution coming up on the land could also be introduced ofc the heat would spread rather slowly and only some buildings would produce it so the heat pipes would need to touch the most necessary buildings to keep them working 24/7. I mostly have these ideas because of the pollution graph having extra things that could be added in it, but arent because they decided to never have more than 1 type of pollution at the same time (idk about heat beeing pollution, but you would need a new name for that graph if you dont like calling heat on an ice planet pollution)

[@levayv]

Factorio Space Age actually beat me. I'm down to 40UPS and up to 26k effective science per minute (with prod bonuses etc). I'm a bit of a broken man that I have to stop here because my PC whines in agony whenever I go to pick up prometheum. GG Factorio, you win, this time.

Really nice video. Informative, entertaining, engaging. Thank you.

[@wiertara1337]

What a great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@_ERR_404_]

When I did gleba, I found that having a filter splitter that can sort the output with spoilage and filter inserters at the end of the input belts on buildings was my best friend, it made it so I didn’t have any looping belts and spoilage would naturally drain from all the belts.

[@dragohammer6937]

yeah, when working on gleba priorities go: 1) how do i remove spoilage? 2) how do i feed nutrients 3) everything else.

[@choty7066]

Honestly just following nilaus' gleba playthrough step by step made it so much better of an experience. I always try to do things myslef and only follow guides for insparation (which i did in my later gleba stages) but this planet really is suffering if you don't know exactly what you're doing

[@andrewwinston7388]

At this point I’m willing to download the full blueprint library for Gleba and forget about it. I played non stop since release and then went on gleba…

[@sobanx7179]

You really love this game.

[@acticlacid]

For gleba, I used direct insertion for all plant processing to minimize time in the processed form (the raw plants spoil in 1h, but their processed form spoils in a couple minutes) anywhere where spoilage backs up I just throw down a filter inserter and active provider chest to clean it out of the belt. Not a very elegant solution, but it works good enough for a first spaghetti base to experiment with the mechanics and ended up being incredibly deadlock-resilient (when spoilage eventually backed up I had to add some recyclers to void it set to a combinator to detect overflows in the logistics network)

[@ianp1012]

[@your1command]

It's not Factorio 2 it's Factorio²

[@morganlucchi]

Or, since it adds a third dimension, it's Factorio^(3/2)

[@احسانقرهداغی-ق8ح]

Underrated

[@Lesardah]

On Gleba, I don't merge anything back into anything. If you leave it alone, the order of the items on the belt will spoil linearly, so all you need is an inserter at the very end to toss the spoiled items into a burner. As for eggs, you should run them past your research crafters, then directly into a burner. If they don't get picked up, they get burned up. There's a never ending supply of incoming resources, so nothing is truly going to waste.

[@CanadianFox1125]

You poor man. Rail world is one of the hardest because it changes how lakes work in planets. It’s much harder.

[@PhoenixianThe]

Personally, I went Gleba first, also because of Trupen. It was the switch back from biologic systems to regular Factorio that left me disappointed. I was very much wishing there was more integration between biologics and classic factory processes. I feel like the main rule on Gleba is: Everything _must_ get used up. If you make it, you need to use it, so either whatever main line you have back to it's start until it's either used or spoils, or feed it to a burner. On the biologic planet, your base is a biologic system. _Keep the arteries flowing._

[@loland1231]

no expansion or no biters at all? is there some alternative for capturing biter nests?

[@andreishtabel]

@@loland1231 No biters at all (flag "No enemies" when creating the map). Nests are still present, but do not generate any enemies. All eggs are just disappear on spoil instead of spawning enemy. I am a bit sad that this flag disables demolishers too, but it is how it is

[@OlaNordmann123]

I went into Space Age completely blind. I only knew there was a lighting planet, ice planet, fire planet and a nature planet. Nature planet sounded fun so I just built a simple spaceship, didn't bring anything and just stranded myself on Gleba. It was a bad time and I was close to quitting. But once you figure it out, you're golden. Everything needs to constantly flow. Like a living organism your factory needs food, and it converts food into waste and useful stuff. Cut off food supply it dies. And everything is infinite so once you have a factory going, you can leave and never return if you hate it there.

Bioflux to Nutrients is terrible on Gleba. 5 Bioflux becomes 40 Nutrients, but it takes 75 Yumako Mash. 4 Yumako Mash can be turned into 6 Nutrients. You will be able to get Bioflux to Nauvis, due to it's spoil time being so high, but worth the change to a different recipie.

[@EternityRemembered]

I gotta ask why are you processing fruits in assemblers? Just less nutrients?

[@FirestormHF]

You can just use heat towers with rocket fuel once you get going on Aquilo but I also hooked up a couple nuclear reactors as well because why not. Also with all the power I had from the needlessly twin fusion reactor I made I brought a bunch of laser turrets along on the last ship. Theyre not great but they saved a lot of ammo over time.

[@basildaoust2821]

I have to say even Nilaus doesn't use more than 10 oil refineries for the whole game on the starting planet, if you are using 20 or more you should maybe check out his advanced oil layout and then try it, and after you find you hate it them improve it, but for me it works perfectly, but I do not get why he stores like 10k of oil product but sets out two tanks, so I tend to change them to 20k, even if that should be at least 25 but whatever :)

On gleba the most important thing to keep in mind is that every belt must be a loop (to circulate recources and spoilage even the buss must loop) every belt must have a sorter (to extract spoilage from the loops) If you can understand that (and beat up the locals) gleba isnt that hard
