THIS should be your FIRST STEEL FACTORY! - Satisfactory 1.0

[@Fasyle]

I get legitimately excited whenever I see your videos pop up. So glad you decided to do this series!

[@snicklefritzal]

I really like how you did the guided b-roll segment at the end. I loved the previous series, but seeing the planning, building and finalising all in one video feels a lot more complete and satisfying rather than deferring the cosmetics to a future live stream. Great video!

[@aaronbeardsley6767]

I think you're nailing your goal of trying to make more "Snutt style" factories. Good job on this one.

[@jrjaxon]

Welcome back Darren! Hope all is going well. Been waiting on this episode. Thank you for making great content.

[@yigittunaboy3430]

Dude I was about to go sleep, now I have to be awake for at least one more hour watching this. It's not fair ://

[@lpeabody]

Good problems to have! It's a good hour whenever Darren posts.

[@Dude29]

Truly a criminal act 😔

[@vbelgian8328]

I’m totally new to your channel and these type of games. What I wanted to say is, you got me totally hooked man I just love your style of content and you even made me start watching your previous, update 8 vids while I’m waiting for new eps. Just love it!!

[@boiimcfacto2364]

Fantastic video as always, but I strongly disagree with one part: You shouldn't be looking up future recipes online, because that ruins the sense of progression. While playing, it's exciting to have to wait and see what kind of cool stuff you can build in later tiers, but knowing that you can build XXXX later on will only harm your immersion. Another aspect I (personally) like about Satisfactory is the urge to build new factories for components because you realize you aren't making enough. Sure, you can look up the specific ratios for everything you'll need later on, but it will feel a lot less like playing the game, and a lot more like a chore. *EDIT* Of course, if you've already played the game / you are in later tiers then it's totally fine, but for beginners I'd suggest waiting till Phase 4 to use online tools. It's better to have a general sense for the maths yourself rather than immediately trying to be mathematically perfect.

[@Unstopapple]

dudes played the game like 10x over. Just not from 1.0.

[@mattclark6037]

I absolutely love how streamlined this new series is. Beautiful work! I hope you're doing well, looking forward to the next!

[@HotDogRacing]

So glad you dropped this today! I just started playing a few days ago and am almost caught up on the last video! I tried playing a while back but got burned out around the time I reached the progress of the first video. The way you approach it not only got me there faster but I know so much more about the game and am excited to press on instead of dreading it!

[@chasealfman]

Love the pace of the videos. Been watching since your season 8 playthrough and know you’ve been looking for the right balance. I think you’re finding it. Keep em coming, Chief

[@RealMoneybags]

Hey Darren, really enjoying the episodes so far, great work! I've noticed the quality of editing is improving a lot from the first video, glad you found a format that works for you.

[@josephlange9366]

You kinstruction and moo are the guys I watch I've gotten so good at the design layout and build since. Thanks to you guys for making these kick ass videos

[@articchar-lf]

I Never managed to watch your "steel, vehicules and s.a.m" stream. Really happy you've released this one!

[@martin2998]

Welcome back Darren. Hope everything is going better for you and your good lady. Great episode as always

[@Ceruleansins55]

Loving the format and content. Thanks Darren.

[@moffch4319]

1:05:50 Just be aware there is an instant death line if you build too far east.

[@dibkun4113]

finally i can catch new videos early , i was playing till tier 7 and 8 like 3 or 4 times in a rows and starting over and over cuz it keep getting out of my control , i didnt know what to do hope this series will help me catching up again keep up the pace and good work Darren , love you!!

[@WhatDarrenPlays]

tbh this always happens to me too, so hopefully *this* will be the one to see it through to the end!

[@nebula_nukez_6394]

Been loving the videos! Such a great learning experience plus being able seeing how other people do things makes this game so much better. I love the creativity of your builds!

[@CalebNOW]

Great episode! Good job explaining as always. The series is shaping up nicely!

[@QuantumTac]

Oh man I love this game. I’ve got it 12 days ago and got over 140 hours on it O.o However I don’t know if I have some mental condition but the fact that resources are not aligned to the world grid triggers me a lot. There’s usually some weird little bends in the conveyors and there’s not much I can do about it. This game is giving me a lot of anxiety but I can’t stop playing it. I’ve known it for a while but man, once you actually play it it’s wild! Thank you for the amazing content! ❤️

[@chrisbaeyens4513]

Good to see you're back! Has ot been a year already since you got your license? Time flies.... After 1000 hours of game play and finishing the game, you jist tought me you can zoop stackable conveyor poles... great 😂 Loved the cinematic overview at the end!

[@TheRezro]

Generally there is no point in using Convener Belts 2 until we want slow down the line. As Steal Beam are cheaper then Reinforced Iron Plate

[@jamikellburns4551]

❤❤ wishing you the best

[@WhatDarrenPlays]

Thank you! Think I’ll be streaming this weekend FYI!

[@jorisvandermispel9615]

[@mendicantdg7393]

Awesome video as always!

[@brokedude9999]

Reverse waterfall?? Looks more like a Salmon Ladder, where the little Ores swim upstream to get eaten by the Foundry Bears

[@lpeabody]

Welcome back Darren.

[@rick3461]

Great videos. I might start taking notes. Lol

[@jimbosworld7486]

YES! thanks brother!

[@acekoolus]

You should turn your Guided b-roll segment at the end to a youtube short.

[@McDonaldsHotSauce]

this video and the first video helped me find out if I should buy satisfactory, I plan on buying satisfactory soon! :D

[@gavinlinke1094]

Hey Darren, great video!! A few months ago, I had fallen into a state of depression. I couldn’t find anything that could motivate me to get up and out of my bed throughout the day. I then found your livestreams and the way you organize your factories makes something click in my brain and kind of “activates” me in a way. Because of you, I’ve recently installed Satisfactory, and I’ve loved playing it along side your livestreams. Keep up the great work!

[@Omni0404]

I'm going to STEEL this idea! Ha, ha, haaaaa....

[@qshfnx_]

I feel myself special now

[@Ctrl-Z-Renders]

You better use solid steel ingot!

[@WhatDarrenPlays]

Didnt want to use any alternates just yet, this is just a starter factory to get milestones out of the way but when building a bigger steel plant after Oil Power im sure I will :)

[@Ctrl-Z-Renders]

@@WhatDarrenPlays Makes sense, i try to getsolid steel ingot asap and always use it if i have it. its 50% more recource efficiency, more power efficiency, a bit more complex but still worth it imo

[@elijahmceachin2820]

Psh you think you're spacious. One of my factories has a 9x9 space for 3 smelters lol. I love my space.

[@Andreas-b9u5d]

Hello

[@WhatDarrenPlays]

Hi

[@mathias_jensen1]

😊👍❤️

[@RubiconDota]

you should try "no belts on the ground". every input and output is connected to a lift.

[@circa9097]

I do agree because having to walk around and jump over conveyors is fairly annoying... But I think this style is more geared towards beginners to understand the logic and how much to input/ouput. Rather than focusing on cosmetics because if he made his channel focused on purely cosmetics than it would take away from his tutorial-type method to something completely different then he's making videos that need to compete with people like Fluxo and Bitz and so many others that focus more on aesthetics.
