The power of Pollen in Noita | Noita is art

[@theycallmeJacko]

7:04 "it's kinda like copy trail or larpa spell but you can put modifiers on it" yeah, I'm sold

[@SourSourSour]

Seeing this concept being used for more than just heart farms has opened up a whole new world of possibilities, thanks for sharing!

[@polio860]

When I first learned about it. It was similar to my very first game, when I learnt you could edit wands. So many possibilities!

[@alexandergonchiy1298]

noita wand crafting should be an e-sport

[@Min0rSet]

Colmi's chamber never loads out, so if you manage to make trigger infinite and cast it there, generator will never stop

[@Mythraen]

I believe the game also keeps Tentacle with Timer loaded in, so it can be used anywhere if you apply that appropriately.

[@VocalMabiMaple]

Summon the spell in Kolmi's chamber, summon infinite omega chainsaws, run like mad.... profit?

[@flowsINtomAyHeM]

Pollen has become my favourite spell by far :) you can use pollen loops with spells to power in a few ways - given how many projectiles they can generate (especially if you nest one loop inside another) it's not an issue to destroy the loop. Spells to power has a limited effect range though - I've experimented with using a black hole w/death trigger + spells to power + projectile as a gravity well to collect the projectiles generated by one or more pollen loops - kinda a pollen railgun? (Black hole + Circle of buoyancy is also fun as a way to collect and move around a bunch of projectiles - or just gives you a black hole you can move around). If you put your infiniwisp tentacle pollen loop in one of the permanently loaded chunks (e.g. under the end boss's nose) it will last forever and have unlimited range - you can have it heal you, spew out projectiles, even lets you set up 'waypoints' to teleport to (search on the noita reddit for 'tentacle wisp unloaded chunk'). (If you search for pollen there, I've posted a few vids recently showing nested loops - they get pretty wild).

[@polio860]

You definetly can use spells to power. If it's set up to build a lot of damage then destroy itself. The main thing I use is delayed spellcast. So the pollen creates a bunch of projectiles and delayed spellcast. Even the first one expires the world to power eats all the projectiles created

[@OctyabrAprelya]

This video is a God-send! Perfectly explained, and in one single go! Many, many thanks, for stuff like this is what makes me love Noita even more ❤

[@casualsatanist5808]

I remember finding out that polymorphing deercoys, and killing them while polyd actually drops gold. I made a gold farm concept where I make a box with summon walls, put ambrosia in it and an enemy with a wand that has distance cast, deercoy and whatever rapid fire method is best, then outside the enemybox is another box filled with chaotic poly or just unstable poly, and there are stationary, everlasting damagefields inside the poly box. The enemy will continuously cast deercoys into the poly, which die and drop gold. The gold harvesting is tricky, but I think having stacked attract gold and standing somewhere with a tiny opening where no poly can get through could work well enough. I dont use spell lab, so I havent really properly tried this out tho. Another farm could instead just be a bunch of enemies resurrected by necrobots. OH, another concept is an enemy that bleeds slime being continuously damaged and healed in a box, while u have more blood and fungal colony, making a large amount of fungi that all get polymorphed and then killed to drop gold. I have no idea if any of these are viable tbh

[@Mythraen]

They may be viable, but this sounds pretty late-game, and if you're going to to pretty late-game set-ups for gold, you can just break the reroll machines, stack Greed, and get to "infinite gold" (2.14 bil, iirc) pretty quick just by killing enemies. Once you're at "infinite" gold, you no longer lose gold by spending it through any means, though if something costs over 2.14 billion, you won't be able to buy it (reroll machines are the only thing that can reach this, tmk).

[@Soheil-ev6ls]

Have you considered working in engineering?

[@ennou1236]

15:50 put the "tentacle generator" where kolmi is so unless you leave the game you will remain a tentacle monster

[@polanas1879]

Late game insane wand science - the exact thing I was looking for. You really deserve more recognition :)

[@Nvggs]

AMAZING DEVELOPEMENT!! With the beta branch adding "inner spell" you no longer need to use long distance cast tentacle timer to spawn spells on yourself. This is far more effective as there's no delay from when the desired spell casts on you nor does it fire downwards away from the player. I have made a wand that cast boomerang healing shots on the player with multiple heavy casts so they don't fly off, and with the new "null shot" spell only the SLOW effect is applied with NO increased damage allowing for a more stable healing bolt centred on the player. (used multiple divide by spells on the boomerange too) (you will need to put a death trigger on the 2nd pollen)

[@casualbird7671]

I'm very happy to see a video like this, that's purely informational on the beauty of noita's spell crafting. Thank you

[@herec0mestheCh33f]

And i thought i was cool for finding out that bouncing burst can trigger multiple times with piercing

[@TUNApocalipz]

this is a really well made video. great explanations, humour, pace. i’ve subbed for more. i wish the noita gods can give you a new mic though :P

[@azchenon8951]

absolutely incredible, thanks for showing this

[@WolfA4]

I used this setup to create what I like to call "Sarah's dream", a line of pollen triggered by pinpoint light each pollen spawned releases a payload of accelerated homing nukes. While testing it I shot it above ground at a slight angle upward and it caused my game to drop to 20 fps and the screen flashed black and white for a good 20 seconds, I have a water cooled 4090, 20 fps for a 2d pixel graphics game on a 4090.

[@luciuswrath290]

Huh, thats an interesting way to use this spell... Never thought about it as something useful beyond digging, thank you for the video

[@TheSupersoot]

Bro keep making these awesome videos. Even your mini mistakes are awesome. Keep up the great work

[@СлышКупи-ы3е]

A word of Wisdom People may forgive a poor quality image But never a poor quality audio Prooven so many times Wish you luck 👍

[@alalalal5952]

even more true if people can clearly and high hear your keyboard&mouse, but can't hear you

[@ErisFive]

You are a great teacher! Thank you for your video 😊😊😊

[@Pharozos]

I am over a thousand hours in and had no idea about this. Good vid. Thanks for the tips.

[@piethedye3948]

15:36 could you spawn this in the boss arena to keep it from despawning?

[@polio860]

Yes you can

[@Mistrz-mw4db]

ok, i see ur smart so one question, maybe you still remember. can you use it multiple times to get more tentacles?

[@polio860]

Yup

[@mushroomjuise2349]

Dang I only used pollen to power the spells to power but that’s next level

[@binathiessen4920]

So this is how those wand farms and heart farms work

[@NiceO1]

lmao tried this with an homebringer bolt and they were just stuck in the damaging field

[@MattHanr]

I enjoy your videos and I bet a lot of players would. If you feel like taking the time consider making some of these into Shorts that give the essence of the video and direct folks to the longer video for more details. For the more casual players just being able to see the beautiful spells really quickly would probably be enjoyable, as you say it’s art

[@Eo-ms3kw]

I have no idea what the people complaining about audio are talking about. Your audio is fine.

[@stanz47]

Hm, the generator portion with the static circle of ____ spell doesn't seem to work for me if an anemy is at all within range. It seems wayyy to finicky to really get anything going with sadly. It constantly stops the moment an enemy gets near. I even have times where its alone and it still fails to start properly. Obviously alongside the tentacle tech shown it would be nice, but it is annoying when it stops simply because an enemy walked sort of nearby and the pollen didn't land in the exact center of the shield.

[@holocene9953]

Introduced me to this useful concept thanks

[@manawa3832]

you have a good asmr voice

[@AhmedHan]

I have a question: Why did you have to use "add trigger"? Why don't you change "double cast" with "triple cast" instead?

[@polio860]

Add trigger where specifically? For the pinpoint of light? Because by default they don't do anything when hitting an object so I'm adding that functionality

[@kevinsaunders8189]

All seeing eye spell is used in some wold tele wands to load in areas right? Could it be used to keep a generator loaded?

[@polio860]

I believe the area where the sampo sits will never be unloaded once loaded in. If you spawn a generator there that lasts forever then it will never de-load

[@khandakermushfiqzaman7068]

great explanation brother.

[@nilark7945]

Great builds, nice video

[@christopherchay7593]

South Africa?

[@alalalal5952]

from mozablique for sure

[@falkor5339]

does this consume multiple uses on limited use spells?

[@FrankieWuzHere]

Love this video :)

[@dj_enby]

awesome tech!!!

[@jpduplessis9906]

Hey man just wondering you have a South African accent Are you form the Western Cape?

[@polio860]

From SA, yes!

[@Goatfooted]

HOLD ON

[@Goatfooted]

PUT A GENERATOR IN A GENERATOR

[@maudley]

I'd watch this video, but it would be like trying to learn rocket science with only a middle school physics background

[@fumokaze]

weakest pollen user:

[@Lyrad8791]

very interesting. would be much better if you stopped MOVING so much though

[@Mythraen]

Nah, it's fine. He might have ADHD. I certainly couldn't hold still for something like this, and I have it. Also, it didn't bother me at all that he was moving. It might even have helped. Anyway, your weird hang-up is a you problem.

[@alalalal5952]

can hear your keyboard&mouse high when i cant hear you. make a post, delete the video, no reason to make an audio-video torture. make "this" with "words" on paper and pass the link.
