[@HexenMeister06]

pro tip: every ratio is just the crafting times, with the ingredients’ multiplied by the amount required by the product. example: a green circuit requires 3 copper coils, both take 0.5 seconds to craft, multiply 0.5 by 3 you get 1.5, the ratio of green circuits to copper coils is 1:1.5, since you cant build half an assembly machine you round up to 2:3 red science requires one iron gear and one copper plate, you get the copper plate from smelting but iron gears you need to craft via assembly machine, iron gears take 0.5 seconds but red science takes 5 seconds, so ONE iron gear assembly machine will meet the demand of TEN red science assembly machines.

@@connorconquers Oh? Anyone in specific? And that's awesome. I love the way your videos are structured so even if it's not a guide I could see a more playthrough type video working well with your editing style. It reminds me of another youtuber but I'm unfortunately blanking on the name at the moment.

[@connorconquers]

I'm debating between getting someone good to carry me or getting several other trash players and fumbling thru it lol

[@Chounoo]

I love your narrative style. It really feels like how you would approach a game for the first time and improve on each iteration. Thanks for the new addiction

[@connorconquers]

That's actually exactly how I approached this video. All the other ones were games I already had a ton of experience with. After the Noita video I realised how much better a narrative through line makes things. So since I had less experience with this game I tried to lean on the first time learning experience more and build on that. I wasn't sure if it worked well but it seems to be going well!

[@Chounoo]

@@connorconquers It definitely makes the videos entertaining to watch and makes me want to play the games. Wish you all the success, you definitely deserve it

"what if i just build one train" right into a fugue state.. totally relatable

[@connorconquers]

The rate at which I actually went from "trains are dumb" to "how can I build my entire base around these divine creations" was startling even to me.

[@adamh1228]

@@connorconquers i probably played my first 1000 hrs without making trains, and now its the first thing i shoot for. now when i play multiplayer with my brother, we just text each other "TRAINS?"

this is literally the "sell seashells on a seashore" meme luigi sings but the guide for factorio awesome

I've created biter scarcity. Buy now...

[@tarrker]

Factorio is one of those games that is what you make of it. It's only complicated if you make it complicated.

[@connorconquers]

It's a 'lil complicated. But yeah, I like to overcomplicate things lol

[@zonolith5912]

"The Factory MUST GROW" Unironically a hardcore battle cry.

[@BlindSpectet]

These videos are genius! you watch them for the first time and buy the game, then after playing the game for an unhealthy sum of time you watch it again and it’s even funnier

"After the successful crash hit alt" Oh man i realised how big of a deal it was when I reached mission 5 😂

15:34 is just- beautiful. I was wondering where our catchphrase had been before then. Glad that you've seen the truth. Welcome to the factory

Had to give it the gravity it deserved. But wait... if we're here... who's growing our factories???

This guy could script and publish a video around Zisteau cursing Factorio's autosave, and through sheer shock and awe cause youtube to triple in company profits over a fortnight. Spectacular video! You're incredibly lucky and absolutely the perfect person to have made this video at this space and time. I'm sorry that it'll all be downhill from now on though.

[@connorconquers]

Lol thanks. I've got some big plans still so let's hope it's not downhill lol

[@lis6502]

as a seasoned player i really approve this guide. I've seen Trupen's films being way worser than this xD. In all seriousness you've covered everything to reflect what this game is. Ratios are especially neglected by authors of "how i built my starter base in 100hrs". A+ my friend

[@connorconquers]

Thank you! I always try to capture that essence that makes a game special and this was a hard one because there's SO MUCH. Figuring out what NOT to cover was so damn tough.

[@ponypunk2065]

That Biter evolution was the money shot

[@connorconquers]

I recreated the evolution swapping frame by frame. I don't know why I put that much effort into it so I'm glad someone commented on it 🤣

Opening the video with a "Warning" from Lob Corp... well I know what guide I'm getting into here...

Setting the unrestricted, uncontrolled growth of industrialization to the song Tenebre Rosso Sangue is a combo that is much more fitting than I had thought. Well edited, fine sir.

This really encapsulates the classic descent into madness in Factorio. Especially the use of Keygen Church at 15:27 works so well, I love it

I was so afraid it wasn't gonna work. So happy it seems to have!

which song was this?
