Warptorio: Evolved HomeWorld #5: Catharsis

i feel like this is an excellent opportunity for an artillery train

Or nukes.

mike has a thing about trains. i don't think he believes in the existence of them at all

I think the last two videos have showcased the true enemy of this series: KZbin video compression. A truly sinister enemy indeed...

[@jmatya]

Boom boom bang bang episode

[@MichaelHendriks]

Very boom. Very bang.

[@dlearn863]

Content for the next playthrough: "Warptorio Expansion Pack" with quests and bosses. Rumors say it is extremely difficult to complete alone, the mod is designed for a team game. Although if you pump the character through the RPG mod, it becomes much easier...

[@willcheat]

Can confirm, finished it solo, it's an experience. When you get a "there are tremors" message, be very very afraid

[@DracoFalconi]

I am sad that this series is coming to a close, as I would have loved to see just how broken you could get production to be with the powerful Warp Loaders cutting down belt needs, or see you tech out the Warp Platform and build a platform defense to start curtailing the black hole biters at the base itself. Definitely looking forward to more 10k SPM and whatever new series you might be cooking up!

[@MichaelHendriks]

Oh don't be sad we're gonna end on a warptorio-specific megabase!

[@AliceErishech]

Seems like a good time for a small army of heavily-armed warp striders.

[@gawain0]

I feel like causing biter extinction will be easier this time than it was in the ultimate deathworld series. Also, this seems like a perfect job for artillery, but where's the fun in that? Spider go brrrr haha. Also also, "Biter? I hardly know her!"

[@bottlekruiser]

"quasistatic gametime progression" were i not already married, i would propose on the spot

[@r3dp9]

Thanks for introducing us to this mod. I've been enjoying a casual playthrough of Warptorio 3 Advanced, which specifically nerfs many of the early game cheeses. It's kind of nice to have a long list of problems that I don't already have the solutions to.

[@urbaniuscee3657]

nuclear missiles would clear those baes even faster than a fully decked out warpstrider

[@skallet]

I love your effort bro you are so awesome and inspiring hendrik, keep doing great man!

[@willcheat]

I'm surprised you didn't go absolutely all in by making an army of warp spiders, controlling one and letting the rest follow you with also rockets and personal lasers

[@skilz8098]

What a great birthday present, a M.H. biter killing production!

[@sanderbos4243]

I can't wait to see what a proper science base will look like, assuming that will be built

[@TheSpookiestSkeleton]

if it were up to me I'd have installed true nukes and then actually had a reason to use those monstrously powerful things.

[@melind82]

Oooh, I had totally forgot you selected an island map, so once you've cleared it you won't have to worry about that absurd pollution cloud anymore. Almost to the finish line!

[@noel.1997]

28:56 technically speaking it is positive feedback loop as the loop is self perpetrating (the more acid you get spewed on results in more acid spewing etc.). Positive feedback loop is self balancing.

[@peaoui165]

Now the biters are limited to the penninsulas surely an artillery train would be a nice solution to the worm acid

[@bayanzabihiyan7465]

Ariel bombardment of artillery rounds. Should be easy to get insane range and shooting speed. Protected with rings of flame, laser, and uranium ammo gun turrets.

[@ashar9545]

Catharsis next time: throwing poison capsules on biter hordes

[@moris_tm6670]

I really love your playstyle

[@whensonzhou4174]

Can you do some calculation with regard to the discharge defenses? Is it worth it at high upgrade?

[@MichaelHendriks]

I haven't used it in ages, perhaps gotta give it another try

[@secondengineer9814]

27:55 I apologize for this, but **technically** it's a positive feedback loop 🤓

[@nicodemuseam]

Mod idea: Armor plating equipment to increase acid resistance. Also, a spear equipment to increase tank impact damage.

[@ethancharim7321]

Wonder if this is the limit of Mike’s power, or if we have one last jump in power to anticipate. The warp nuke seems like a Chekhov’s gun waiting to be fired. That or I forgot something from a previous episode that explains how that’s actually a terrible idea, lol

[@snowdrop9810]

Its literally the same as a normal nuke with a small exception: you dont die to it

[@MichaelHendriks]

I think the blast radius is a bit larger as well, they would actually be viable but even if I had time to set up the uranium infrastructure to produce them, they'd still be too expensive to mindlessly spam, which makes me doubt they would be faster

[@snowdrop9810]

@@MichaelHendriks they're super cool though (the normal nukes)

[@ethancharim7321]

@@MichaelHendriks no power spikes then, I’m guessing. Ah well, fun thought. Guess we get to see playing Mike game it up… next time!

ARTILLERY! NUKES!

[@1nsane89]

Should have played Smash mouth All star when you went to deal with the biters at the front door (and got the video demonetized)

[@stingray4567]

Nuke rockets or artillery train perhaps?

[@mikouffins]

Hey Mike, if it is possible, could you use a higher bit rate video? Especially for the biter killing, the amount of particles on the screen seems to bring down the quality a lot. :(

[@TomJerry12933]

why aren't you using nukes? :(

[@spyntbg550]

Probably because it would take forever to make sure the nuke-grid is consistent. Don't think we've forgotten about the nuclear garden, Mike!

[@snowdrop9810]

​@@spyntbg550 you can 3d print em so, yeah. Plus theres an upgraded nuke too!

[@MichaelHendriks]

Nukes are too inefficient and expensive to mass produce (time or resource wise). Their blast radius isn't all that great and you still need to cleanup afterwards, and on top of it all, it's way too easy to accidentally nuke yourself in the process

[@DracoFalconi]

@@MichaelHendriks If only the Warp Nukes weren't so much more expensive than normal nukes, even with the 3d printer technology, you'd have your answer to "accidentally nuking yourself in the process."

[@timothymclean]

It looks like nukes have one fewer production step than explosive rockets (and hence less benefit from productivity bonuses), while also having a base raw material cost around a hundred times greater (depending on how you balance "almost the same amount of explosives" against "also includes plastic and uranium and processing units and stuff"). In exchange, they deal no impact damage, have six times the explosive radius, and... Well, nukes deal more damage, but the way they work makes it hard to quantify how much. (Nukes create a bunch of explosions, which overlap in the middle but not the edges.) Still, the damage boost is closer to 10× than 100×.

[@skilz8098]

Time to break out the nukes.

[@IronheadtheFirst]

I feel like it would have been better to start on the outside and take care of the big biter bases before working into the middle of the island

[@DezBoyRecordz]

Keep rocking my dude! Loving the content getting back into the game trying to relearn the ratios n stuff it's been fun , also gearing up for the new dlc shortly , do you have a blue book for you're game available for use?

[@MichaelHendriks]

Discord, not updated yet and warptorio book won't be useful for vanilla. There's some other blueprints on there though

[@skilz8098]

Would the poison grenades, um I mean rockets kills off those nests and worms fast enough?

[@timothymclean]

Aren't nests immune to toxic damage? Clearing out the worms would be nice, though.

[@aleksszukovskis2074]

oh yes, im enjoying this

[@NeonGodzilla87]

If space marine 2 was about the ad mech instead

[@maikelgafaji156]

I cant help but wonder, why are you not using atomic boms when going out the front door?

[@qewobob]

if only you could plant trees

[@PiroteusGaming]

Was there ever a realsitic chance to turn your turret platforms into jaust that to pasively whipe out the ancoming hords to save UPS or would that increas the update load since they no longer waslk as one group to one spot but instead have to be claculatet individualy in attacking your fordifications?

[@MichaelHendriks]

Not with the required playstyle for this challenge no

[@rustyphilip7826]

Grate

[@spenceabeen]

Gonk :]

[@gariannobinger9933]

why not temporarily leave the worms under the pollution cloud, to discourage expansions from re-settling there?

[@MichaelHendriks]

Worms don't count for expansion chance/anything expansion related really

[@djsnowpdx]

personal lasers are offensive to gain balancing. Time to Nerf Mike.

[@kajacx]

Isn't there a warp nuke as well? Or is that from the expansion?

[@MichaelHendriks]

It exists, but due to the black hole biter UPS issue there's not enough time to set up production and wait for enough of them to be produced

[@jblmi1355]

yes

[@ShMokou]

Six bases. Not five.

[@RuslanKovtun]

Why not to stay on unhabitated planet and mine some rich planet?

[@leyn1092]

Why aren't you using nukes? I think you have plenty of uranium with 100+% production bonus

[@DracoFalconi]

Even with the excess uranium, they're expensive (lower cost-to-performance than even Yellow Rockets!) AND it's all too easy to get Factorio Guy (or their Warp Strider) caught in the blast.

[@Niscimble]

How come you didn't use nukes for the massive bases?

[@MichaelHendriks]

One does not simply have a couple thousand nukes laying around

[@TheAgamemnon911]

uhm... nukes? Only need 5 or 6 per base.

[@MichaelHendriks]

Just warptorio with loot chest locator, all other mods are just to enhance video quality/watch experience (like evogui, no black lines in map view, extra zoom)

[@Cateleya]

@@MichaelHendriks I'd just like exact names for those little ones because I've been struggling to find good ones myself! There are a bunch of zoom mods, for example, and some don't work at all for me (idk why)

[@MichaelHendriks]

I know they sound descriptive, but those are the exact names!

[@RuslanKovtun]

6:30 - you had to load nuclear ammo instead of just explosive.

[@zardozspeakshs1111]

ha, i kinda wonder if this is actually a reasonable way to clear your island. Luckily it is an island, but given you can stay at this world as long as you want, i'd think artillery creep and flamethrowers would automate this process. Dunno, if that'd be more or less expensive than the rockets. But it kinda pains me to see you manually clearing bases this big haha.

[@MichaelHendriks]

I think manually is the fastest way here. Something about that programmer meme automating a 5 minute job (which you only need to do once or twice) in 5 hours of time

[@aurias42]

​@@MichaelHendriksyou're telling me you *wouldn't* spend 5 hours automating a 5-minute job? Dang, we need to show you the light....

[@christophergarsh8333]

No artillery?

[@kumikokisume6792]

No the revenge attacks from arty would killed thier mining platform

[@kumikokisume6792]

At least killed it faster

[@jujuteuxOfficial]

Imo the last planet being an island kinda trivializes the threat, it would be fun if destroying more bases didn't get rid of them in one direction So the end goal is to make a fortress that can last forever against a functionally infinite amount of biters or at least secure a perimeter large enough that all that pollution can be negated, where that biome tile makes it extra hard to absorb pollution

[@jujuteuxOfficial]

Or capturing enough biter bases that you individually encircle them with laser turrets just far enough that only what they spawn is killed, acting like a pollution filter building that consumes ammo or electricity Using the printer technique to make thousands of solar panels and capacitors to continuously feed the laser turrets

[@MichaelHendriks]

Yeah I know, but warptorio is not designed to spend hours on a single planet, if the homeworld is not an island you will die by UPS-death like in warpzone 8. Or you need to warp away and warp back everytime, which will reset pollution output rate

[@jujuteuxOfficial]

@@MichaelHendriks can't just make a superfortress at the center? so you have some nukes thrown to get rid of most of them then spam turrets and get a large ammo/energy array to feed the gun/laser turrets and try to stand your ground for the time being
