I want y'all to know that I was NOT yelling at the screen over this. I saw it when he put the first one down and I held my tongue for the duration. It was a struggle, but I do it for Nilaus.

You should absolutely profilerate the fuel you are going to use in your mecha. Not only do you get more total energy, it also charges the mech up faster.

[@alexhoulston2528]

What does proliferate mean?

[@magocbi]

@@alexhoulston2528there is an item called proliferator made from coal, which when sprayed on items using spray coater building increases energy output in the case of energy items. When items are proliferated an assembler will also increase its output by the percentage of the proliferator base on its tier(mk1 12.5%, mk2 20% and mk3 25%). There’s a switch on the assemblers for extra products or speed of assembly

[@argspid]

@@alexhoulston2528 It's what Nilaus started doing at 5:49. The devs added the tech a few updates ago; proliferation is basically a consumable spray coating you can put on stuff to give a bonus to your production (for products) or energy (for fuel). Higher level sprays give a bigger bonus, but take more materials.

[@bosstradamus7896]

Proliferate everything. Only research cubes are unaffected.

[@SnotFroth]

@@bosstradamus7896 I think research cubes produce more hashes with proliferated

Bro is dropping christmas presents with these videos. Thanks man, happy holidays!

[@cliffordaldrich]

You can definitely control your ships manually. Enbale manual control mode by clicking the [all fleets] button up right, and hold ctrl key, you'll see a plane established according to the mecha position. Left click to order where you want your fleet to go. Hope this will be helpful to you

[@rekrn12345]

You can equip the plasma turrets ammo into your mech as well and use it in space combat. Its infinitely better than missiles.

[@kerbodynamicx472]

The antimatter capsule can even destroy a ground base in two shots.

[@Sedriik93]

13:30 that's one of the most impressive and beautiful things i've ever seen in gaming!!

[@jhonnyflash6462]

THANKS! THANKS! THANKS! I wouldn't have played all these games without your Inspirations. You are the best❤

[@beardydave926]

Nilaus: This is easy, just get more of this and take them out. Me after long time: how to build things and what to do next? Great playthrough and info as always.

[@augustok2]

If you use the mod "Blueprint Tweaks" you can save your BP with the recipe and just change it when you are selecting the place to paste it. It saves sooo much time It will paste all recipes to machines

[@Marcel-eg9bz]

I was today years old when I found out Icarus could recharge its energy faster with more power towers (how much time I've wasted sitting under 1 tower, I don't know...) Also FYI, if you kill the space hive but there are still planetary bases, they will keep rebuilding the Hive with the matter collected from planets.

[@Reoh0z]

There's an achievement to stack a bunch of those power towers in tight and charge Icarus up.

[@vulkandrache1928]

How is "Hey, does it stack?" not the first thing one tries?

[@ThePiachu]

Last time I played the game I made item assemblers that had different belt configurations based on the input / output ratios. If you have 2-1 input to 1 output, you can have two belts that share items between two sides of assemblers, but one line that is dedicated to each assembler to get 100% belt utilisation. A bit more tedious than having easily reusable configurations, but good for an end game build...

[@ResilanBearcat]

I enjoy your videos and learn a lot from them. In this case, you connected the input and output to the same belt. 5:10

[@billsider3878]

What a fun episode! Thanks!

[@aimozg]

no need to get close, you can order your fleets to attack by selecting them with number keys then ctrl+clicking (although it is hard to aim)

[@Alexandragon1]

1:07 Can't wait for an update or/and mods which will allow DF pirate activities - so they can just steal matter they need. Thx for the video!

[@starbreeze7249]

I was pretty shocked when those huge ships came close to my planet, they were so massive flying when I was looking up from my planet I thought they were going to land ontop of me

[@walter2945]

the sorter at 5:11 is wrong, and your supermagnetic ring build is running at 50%

[@joehelland1635]

You really need to proliferate your fuel rods, makes a huge difference.

[@jpbroadwater]

"Low tech level". Right. I was thinking maybe that meant just beyond red cubes or something. No, it means practically finishing the game.

[@Kraken9911]

For these guys low tech early game is everything before white science.

[@sawyeriii]

Can you visit the black hole and see what level the hive is there? The lore said the fog came from the black holes so I figured it would have the highest level hives on the map.

[@NickKnacks5533]

The black hole system in my seed is ridiculous, 2 fully built hives with 5k+ ships each . It only has a single planet so was easy enough to get a defensive foothold after clearing 15-20 planetary bases. Starving them of matter could take days....

[@brotherfox1660]

It could be super cool to try your power and skill against real danger, but at the same time, it will make black holes extremely useless. they generate, as far as I remember, 5% of the energy of the starting star, so they will also be extremely protected. I think the developers should add some kind of encouragement to the players for clearing black holes. now their only use is a set of high speed through a bug for achievement, no more

[@danilooliveira6580]

@@NickKnacks5533 Yep, same thing near my black hole - 2 bases, fully built. I also noticed that all my O stars have 1 high level hive orbiting them which is a huge pain.

[@owlman145]

Should watch out for seed ship (red ships in cluster map) coming to nearby planets. Good idea to destroy them early so they don't spread too close to fast. Destroying the hive doesn't mean peace forever.

[@sydju]

Watching the first 5min: already screaming at my screen that you placed outbound on the wrong belt. Anyway.. back to watching 😂

[@emilsinclair4190]

If your planet orbits near the swarm you can easily abuse this to attack it from the planet.

[@Erkle64]

I was building stuff on my lava planet when my plasma cannons started shooting something. It took me a while to realise they had destroyed all the hive's ships and partially destroyed it. Pleasant surprise. It takes a long time for the orbits to match up like that though.

[@emilsinclair4190]

@Erkle64 I am kinda sad that you and the swarm are unable to build enormous shipyards in orbit of the plane5 or as part of the swarm that can than produce ships that dwarf even the player robot. Or far more orbital defense or offensive options

[@1Rictec]

i learned something if you want to make Nilaus size factories with dark fog parts you need to start farm dark fog parts very very early as it takes a huge amount of time to get them level 21 so (you farm them and keep on growing) maybe on another system just to farm those or something like that ..the hive also gets higher and higher i used one planet to farm it (lava one free energy for lasers) and made main base on another planet.

HI Nilaus, i've tried max dark fog settings and its really difficult, I'd love to see you start a death world play through, although I don't advise max difficulty settings, maybe need to play around with those settings. But do you have any interest in a Death World Series?

I am currently playing that. All Dark Fog max setting. But I gave myself Infinite resources, so it is bearable.

@@tomikexboii5403 Same settings. Tried twice. The first time there were 3 dark fog bases on the planet, I just progressed to the red cube when be defeated.

This is low tech?

[@professeurgideere5856]

Aren't your fractionators kinda bugged ? It seems like they aren't running as well. Is the entry splitter prioritizing the already in hydrogen ?

[@micheljolicoeur6094]

So starve the Darkfog of matter, wait for them to expend all their fighters then take out Hive. Hopefully the Darkfog are tougher in the non-starter systems. Would be anticlimactic if this strategy worked everywhere and on all difficulties.

[@MelfiortheOne]

Nilaus is playing on easy dark fog settings. If you wanna challenge, ramp up those before you start a game. The initial rush to make defence perimeter is fun 😅

[@TheEJackUK]

on your final attack run i think the thing your drones were attacking at first was the regenerated hive. Perhaps they can regen withonly small bits left.

[@MelfiortheOne]

If they have no relay stations on planets, they can’t regenerate

[@TheRoma552]

There's a swarm beacon left in the system, I don't really know what it does, but maybe it'll bring a new swarm into the system.

[@ruukinen]

It's what lets you change the settings of how the swarm behaves in that system.

[@katemc516]

If you hover over the core you'll be able to read a very long description lol, and towards the end it says it cost a great amount of energy and materials for the hive to create a seed which it then sends to another system to start a new hive And from my observation, the planetary bases send back vessels to the core to help rebuild after assaults or expand if left unchecked

[@callanrea1]

EVERY ONE TRY THIS.....strategy involves employing a warp drive for a localized warp through the Dark Fog Hive. Corvettes will be deployed to engage the enemy fleet, utilizing warp capabilities to swiftly transition to a specific planet. The automated replenishment system will continuously deploy corvettes from your hangar, allowing for sustained attacks originating from the planet.

[@XadeGrimm]

if you foundation a whole planet can they make land fall?

[@draconismagnus]

So it's not really totally safe after you destroy a Hive in a system, right? I saw something called a "Seed" approaching my cleared system. So basically I think the Hive comes back to empty systems. Can someone confirm, because the Seed I saw is still on approach in my game.

Anyone know what a destroyed core hive means? Killed their structure but did not get the tutorial congratulating me for killing the hive. It still shows on left hand side but just says Hive- core destroyed. I dont believe there are any relays on the three planets? Maybe on gas giant?? Anyone know whats going on

[@1Rictec]

i still don't know how did you manage to get everything on green, even if i have all the materials on inventory my game only turn green around the mech

[@drac124]

In my case there was 3 left overs that cannot be destroyed. The squad destroyed everything and stopped helping me. There was just me and those 3 things. I started shooting them with missiles, makes no difference. Plasma bullets take very little of the life. Took me minutes to "destroy" one. Once life is zero is immediately goes back to 100. Cannot be destroyed. I guess the hive will grow back from them. I have no active relays in the system. I don't know what is happening.

[@1Rictec]

How About their parts? did you got any of those?

[@89334726]

Yup, REALLY needs an update to space combat. Want my carriers to haul the fighters. Also to be able to just sit back home while the combat is going on would be nice. Third....all that loot just lost in space.😢

Greetings. And first - Merry Christmas Nilaus! I would like to know how your PC can run DSP. You have so much belts and "transport-bots". My PC is quite new and my CPU/GPU-fan have to work a lot.
