Under Constant Attack | MAX DIFFICULTY | #2 | Dyson Sphere Program - Dark Fog | Lets Play

[@Sunflowers2574]

I love the uncut and longer form videos. Working from home, it gives me more content to watch from you. Keep up the great work.

[@TheNipSnipper]

I love em uncut and long too. Feels so good. Sometimes maybe too much to handle! Hnngg

[@kentheknight]

lmao@@TheNipSnipper

[@dominik503]

Love the uncut series! Keep it going :)

[@anonymityfantasy]

these darkfog bro.... dont know who they messin with... the logistics king

[@michajastrzebski4383]

@@rekrn12345 still fun :>

[@danielluiten4990]

Love these vidoes. The uncut and harshness of it is super refreshing

[@MeHdi.fz28]

can't wait for next episode... keep it up!

[@GeonXP89]

No cuts is fine, I want to see how you handle everything from start to finish, it's thrilling to watch! I noticed drones go for the most damaged building first when they're set to prioritize repairs, and imo they're wasting a lot of time because of that so I wonder if it wouldn't be best to keep priorities to default and help them by just walking into your defense line between attacks. Though you're very close to getting the battlefield analysis base so it won't matter after that point!

[@kyleosho]

Definitely hyped for this series- watching the master at work under pressure is a treat.

[@derekfelson5509]

Blue science online and 2.5 lines of turrets. Loving this series so far!

[@andreas1337able]

I Made this comment half way, so this can actually be ignored :) I could delete it, but maybe someone else could use it. You are constantly hand-crafting. I like it. A little tip, use the dark fog material. It will speed up your hand-crafting. Also, just wondering. Why wouldn't you hand craft some blue science and get the graphene and build some power station instead of all the wind mills. I usually instantly go for power stations and graphene. I personally dislike the wind power in the game :) Now you are doing it (I was to early with my comment.... sorry ;)), what I always do from the start is have a station for circuits boards, magnetic coils and gears. And when unlocked one factory for electric motors. Hand feed them via a box or connect a belt. Which ever you like most / is possible. I think that would help you out great in this epic battle. This is just to speed up hand-crafting a bit more :P No matter, enjoying the playthrough! ;)

[@whisperzzar3321]

Wow that Fog increased way faster than i was expecting ( in both episodes) ..... Good job man :) id have died long ago :)

[@tobiasfritz5781]

There's a setting that lets you auto-pick up drops. In combat mode click the settings button above your HP bar and then tag the item types with "auto" via mouse click. You can toggle them between enabled/ignored/auto.

[@kelvaris1]

I know you think it's boring, but I could watch you play all day long.

[@Nilaus]

Come to Twitch.tv/Nilaus where I have been streaming 5 hours daily of DSP

[@wolfcommando8467]

I hope this series eventually gets to the point of you sending out fleets to clear systems so you can gather the resources from them. :D

[@throwitouttheairlock9556]

That requires like level 20 ups in damage and fire rate shit for ships, it takes a WHILE

[@stuart782496]

Please keep up the uncut vids, i love having the content to watch!

[@spencerdawson1695]

#1 2: electric boogaloo

[@ImpulseIVXX]

Absolutely loving this game and series, it's so interesting to see. I second the commenter asking for unedited videos, I would watch hours of this.

[@AlexanderThoma]

Awesome content Nilaus - please continue this in a full series!

[@AndyDouglas200]

Really like the new series. Love the uncut format.

[@flesby]

Still playing along. I really like the "rough cut" as you are calling it, because that allows me (and probably others) to build things identical. - Works great so far. - I managed to de-synchronise those two attack by kiting one unit away form the main bulk an keeping i alive a little longer thus delaying one of those attack waves, so that I now have to deal with only one at a time.

[@Hyperionid]

Fantastic! I always like your content, but this particular one is very enjoyable. The uncut format provides an immediacy to the threat, as you slowly expand your base, which upgrades the viewer experience. Keep up the good work my friend!

[@jensolsson9666]

Before you have splitters, you can use inserters to move stuff between belts.

[@Italianburrito]

Love the tenacity! Lets get the Missiles!

[@ivocyrillo]

I guess it's #2! Thanks for the video

[@JarPlace]

this is the best series from Nilaus yet

[@TimCrosbyJr]

It is crazy how often you get attacked! Looking forward to the max efficiency playthrough :)

[@Crusender]

Dark Fog use your energy consumption, the more energy you use, the faster they bar fill up.

[@deanlawson6880]

Wow great fast-paced episode Nilaus! Nicely done - Thanks for this!!

[@chrisclough3117]

As a normal player, it feels really good to see someone close to a professional level getting flustered under the pressure!

[@joshuarogalsky8379]

Im 30 sec into the vid, and I am already on the edge of my seat!!

[@CryptbloomEnjoyer]

Awesome series, just got DSP last week and I am totally addicted despite being super overwhelmed with the amount of spaghetti im making, you got a new sub my friend. I do not like to copy blueprints directly since it makes me feel like im cheating but you have given me a lot of good ideas!

[@gariannobinger9933]

I'm worried about the unprotected side of the base..

[@lloydsloan1349]

They only attack from the side closest to your base. They can strafe towards the undefended side while attacking the turrets, but they will stay in range of the turrets.

[@Redneck353]

Cool to get unedited content once in a while!

[@mitchhhh3676]

If you aren’t already you should use the shards as power because they increase the manual craft speed.

[@malevolyndrgn739]

For anyone else who is giving this type of run a try, do yourself a favor and stockpile some combustible units early. You can throw them very far and they deal devastating damage to ground units with splash damage. I am fairly early into my run with waves of 140ish coming regularly, and I blow up most of the ground units before they ever even reach my turret barricade, and the air units are picked off by the turrets when they get close enough. Usually takes about 10-15 to blow up almost all of the ground units, but considering how easily they are made, you can toss them out like explosive candy.

[@Alexandragon1]

#1 again? Thx for the video!

[@Kooolguy0085]

Love this series. Been watching your twitch vods for more 😂

[@matthewwright57]

Click on the target next to the loot and it will tell you where the litter is.

[@SiggyPony]

:) this looks like alot of fun. I started again because it was too easy. now I have a wall like yours of towers

[@walter2945]

you can set all the drops to Auto, then you dont have to manually grab stuff from the ground. edit. not sure what the range is, so maybe not useful. tested. auto pickup range is 39 tiles, map view manual pick up is 55

[@joshuaweihofen204]

Really enjoying this series, keep up the good work!

[@raelynne79]

I'm finding this stressful just watching so I don't think I'll be playing like this, but I appreciate you showing us the run

[@TheseAreWeirdTimes]

Very nice! Waiting for missiles.

[@nelrose122]

Yey excited for this!

[@Renagede77]

Looks like the enemies are going to the sides because the turrets create a wall. If there was an opening in the middle, they might be more inclined to go there instead.

[@UncleKennybobs]

Anything would be better than a straight line

[@disconap.d5214]

love this series cant wait till they develope the fog further

[@madeinsergei8492]

you can see where the scraps are if you hover your mouse on the littered icon at the bottom, the same way how it shows you where the dark fog forces are are coming from.

[@iestynne]

Really? What/where does it show? I tried this hoping it would highlight them, but I don't see anything...

[@sNsReal]

Why dont you use filtered auto loot? Loving the uncut by the way

[@groundhog0699]

I don't think you should cut/edit any of your videos going forward. They will be much longer and probably prolong your youtube series, but people like me will tune in.

[@christianvanderstap6257]

He definitely should after the startup. Otherwise you get vods

[@DasLama69]

Yeah disagree, I don’t have time to watch every single micro decision, go watch his twitch stream if you desire that format

[@SpartanAltair15]

He gains you but loses a huge chunk of his KZbin specific viewers. Stats don’t lie.

[@dehe82]

Long videos suck ass. I'm surprised YT doesn't have a limit tbh. There is so much trash on here...

[@sintaxera]

Most series' don't have non stop action, there's usually a lot of boring stuff that gets cut. By this time he would usually be flying between planets and nobody wants to watch 5 minutes of flying

[@UncleKennybobs]

You'd have silicon by now if you'd mined the loose rocks

[@deksroning125]

Dark Fog is behaving differently in my playthrough. I'm using the same seed map and same (max) difficulty, but the fog also goes for my iron production every time. Your fog mostly focuses on the front for some reason and seldom goes for the back. I had to make more guns to protect that section better for harvesting Iron. Good thing is I already had a second row of turrets, but I have to say that my fog seems to be able to get more hits in or the waves are larger and possibly faster. I actually lost once because I didn't have a second row (this was in the first video) - so it seems my fog is by a notch or two more difficult than yours for some reason. Anyway, I'm holding on, and managed to research that battle station which also does repairs, but need to research microcrystalline components so I can actually construct it and help me better defend my position. I'm at 3 rows of turrets right now, and the waves are more intense... though I also managed to build more wind turbines, so its possible because I have more power at my disposal (at least right now), the Dark Fog is stronger in proportion.. EDIT: I just got destroyed. Completely and utterly (entire base decimated). I even managed to build a repair station, research personal energy shield and enhanced kinetic weapon damage, but the wave the dark fog launched was MASSIVE. Even with 3 rows of turrets and all the research I did, I just couldn't survive. I guess the devs messed with the difficulty or something because I'm telling you, my Dark Fog is behaving very differently to yours (and I even have less turbines - meaning, I'm producing less power, but am not lacking in power). For me, the Dark fog is just way too difficult (unlike in yours). My incoming waves are larger, they destroy faster, and I get overwhelmed.

[@dr.paulwilliam7447]

Why dont you get some stone and melt it to silicon ore to build the battle base?

[@arnoldwilliamson3543]

@nilaus im just having a question with your blueprint book concerning the 'new early hub' book, how exactly is that supposed to be put together i believe i have setup correctly till part 9 after that its a bit confusing

[@vrnvorona]

You can drag build turrets though

[@basurissimo6143]

suggestion! maybe instead of doing shorter cut videos and longer more uncut videos, try costreaming to twitch and youtube, i think it autouploads the vods to the live channel section. love your vids!

[@laimonis156]

When you will defeat the Dark Fog, do not remove defence units. Fog will return until you destroy all Fog stations in your star cluster. i removed it and after a short while surprise, they are back.

[@williamhuhn9221]

Stay alive, stay effective and stay efficient!

[@CattyRayheart]

you need to grab the blue chips tech

[@MrMicmou]

Where are you getting sulfuric acid from? Your making it right? Ive been struggling to find a ocean and its near impossible to produce enough to meet demand. Same with Organic crystals. A build for both using your new methods would be wonderful!

[@christianvanderstap6257]

You can getto split a belt with an sorter

[@ezpz2680]

Damn thats hectic

[@neoasdrubaul]

Gogogo!

[@Mirality]

If you turn off drops like wood you might get more of the stuff you care about.

[@ruukinen]

That is not how it works. If you roll wood and you have it turned off, you instead just get nothing.

[@debamibroeder4783]

So what key do you use to grab things out of factories in one click?

[@matteocdt5214]

is the other series over?

[@michaelkvalvik7358]

Long-form videos ftw!

[@sugarpacket7251]

I imagine this will be a thousand times easier once you have signal towers and missle turrets

[@trimax4308]

hallo , how you can lock slots in your inventory ?

[@CoolColJ]

middle mouse button

[@12463trf]

I feel dumb. got nearly all the blue and red tech done, cleared the hive off the starter planet, and never figured out how to get resources from the destroyed bots. fml.

[@wilkin38]

If you live under constant attack, have you considered seeking assistance from Master Tang?

[@RBAWintrow]

It seems really hard!

[@katastrofa025]

I really like these videos, if only there was no commentary lets play, so you can focus 100% on game without being distracted talking - it would be legit perfect videos

[@adrianvd6940]

I am so enjoying the max difficulty run. Not something I think I am game to try.

[@QiuQiuChannel-ni3xj]

felt like you destroyed dark fog home planet and now the surviving members come for Vengeance😅

[@chromerathalos]

Episode 2 right?

[@Platinum_Band]

Waiting for Nilaus to realize that he doesn't have the circuit research done so he won't get the drops until it is completed.

[@willb5278]

For the microcrystals? 4 dropped in the vid. He doesnt need to research the tech that unlocks them IF he researches something that NEEDS them to craft. Either research will unlock the drops.

[@crazymammoth]

i still do wonder how some1 does the no gun towers achievement run

[@CoolColJ]

just use the mech weapons and fighters only

[@ancaelena5337]

Longer episodes for rough cut.. 30 min is like 2 attacks 😂

[@Dittolvl99]

more energy=more attacks, i don't think you wanna be alot over your power limit

[@seanhunter111]

I get that this is a challenge, but at the moment it doesn’t feel like it’s a lot of fun. I hope you’re able to get through this hump so at least this planet starts to be a bit safer and you’re able to make more progress.

[@BoodlooderJeet]

Gnarly AF. Just trying to figure out how you're locking items onto the inventory panel slots.

[@voyager-316]

I think if you middle click on an item, it will "lock" that inventory spot with that item. I'm not 100% sure but if you middle click on an empty spot, it prompts you to select an item.

[@viltur83]

You know you can auto loot on mech

[@theonlycolby]

I really dislike how the max difficulty makes some seeds useless due to not enough land in the right spot to build enough turrets close enough to your resource area.

[@endarus6053]

DSP? More like Satisfactorio.

[@TheRoma552]

Well, there's supposed to be a fog drop nerf today, so it's gonna get harder.

[@deksroning125]

That would explain why my dark fog was much more destructive than Nilaus'. I used same seed map, same max settings, I even managed to create more turrets earlier and repair station, research personal shield and enhanced kinetic damage, but I got overwhelmed around the same time he finished the second video and was completely destroyed. I'd say they made the fog much more difficult to deal with... because mine was a notch or several more destructive, bigger/aggressive than Nilaus'

[@andrefelipearaujo9245]
