Lathrix send me ;)

[@ZeroGravitas]

Oh wow, he really did; actually linked me! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnTUZJaqg8lsbpom I'm a bit of a fan of his, too. :-D

[@thegamingcat3202]

ZeroGravitas yeah I see you on his terratech videos all the time

[@SeaShark]

The Gaming Cat ur not the only one xD

[@ZeroGravitas]

> I see you on his terratech videos all the time I feel kinda rude. :-\ I've been throwing my 'expert' advice at various TerraTech KZbinrs, big, small and tiny for about a year, now...

[@thegamingcat3202]

ZeroGravitas why do you feel rude?

[@ZeroGravitas]

My first foray into 60fps video production - let me know if you like it! :-) It was a real pain trying to find new render settings that would work with it (plus other issues). I'm sorry these vids often look so fuzzy in places - that's KZbin's fairly aggressive compression that really does not like the amount of information being shown in time-lapses, in particular. I've been able to find no way around this. I'm sure you still get the ideas, though. :-)

[@calebo29536]

ZeroGravitas sorry for all of the questions I just really like this channel, but are you going to put up your next creation up on steam? I just love your contraptions Thanks! Caleb

[@ZeroGravitas]

I sure will. In fact, some of them are already up! ;-) Got a bit of a backlog of ideas to show (some may get tweaked). steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197971318812/myworkshopfiles/?appid=285920&p=1&numperpage=30

[@predur4136]

Since I discovered the first 3 videos on how to become millionaires in TerraTech I immediately appreciated the style, simple but exhaustive, of your videos ... and I was impatient to see how it would continue ... thank you for this new chapter

[@larry702]

Please make more of these!!!!!!! The first one (the speedrun) was what kept me playing beacuase the 4x Autominers just skyrocketed my cash so I could build wacky stuff in campaign :) Your explanation and solid game understanding and tips are just so useful.

[@zacanders0n]

You're back! You're always fantastic at explaining how these things work, thanks for the time and effort you put into these videos!

[@ZeroGravitas]

Thanks. This episode was kind of a bridge to the main crafting ideas I want to show next time, but I really wanted to stress how useful the crafting approach can be for unlocking blocks, particularly for early flight. Out of curiosity, where in KZbin did you see this video? I've tried releasing this one without notifying all my subscribers, to avoid spamming Terraria fans with TerraTech content. I'm wondering if KZbin's clever enough to still recommend it to those subscribers who are definitely interested...

[@TwilightNightGaming]

Loving the series so far. You have helped me so much in my own playthrough,

[@jve5921]

Oh wow, i just realised i had completely missed this episode when it came out. Very happy to watch it though, your videos are always very relaxing and nice!

[@ZeroGravitas]

Thanks. And sorry, that'll be my fault that you didn't see it: I opted to not notify all my subscribers when I published it. I didn't want to spam the majority of my (Terraria) subscribers with a notification that they wouldn't be interested in (and loose a bunch of subs again). So I was hoping that the KZbin recommendation algorithm would be smart enough to show this to the subs who *are* definitely into TerraTech. Eventually... You could try clicking the notification bell, but I've no idea what that is triggered by (I'm such a YouTub nub.)

[@rockfarmer2524]

Nice to see you active in terratech! :) Keep it up

[@ZeroGravitas]

And nice to see you too. ;-) Tempted to jump back in yourself sometime, and show us newbies how it's done? :-)

[@rockfarmer2524]

hahah! Not sure, I'm sort of waiting for a bigger update, like AI harvesters and better flight controls :) But I'm lurking in the background!

[@ZeroGravitas]

Fair play. Yeah. I wouldn't be worrying about that for the next few months (even with 1.0 coming out). Maybe next year... :-\

[@Dropped_Angel]

I’m really liking this because you have the right clips of this

[@yellomonky4272]

Amazing video!! I saw you comment on lathlands vid !! Subbed keep up the amazing content dude!!!

[@ZeroGravitas]

Lol, thanks. So I did manage to poach at least one subscriber with that. Naughty me. :-)

[@eykan_ow]

I love this this is so well edited!! KEEP IT UP :D!!

[@ZeroGravitas]

Thank you. I have to take it slow, but there's more lined up. :-) Did you see the previous episodes too? Which on did you find first, out of interest...?

[@nitsuj2120]

That intro is so cool (rated ♾️ out of ♾️)

[@nitsuj2120]

i just watched the first parts and i now think youre british

[@ZeroGravitas]

@@nitsuj2120 Oh, interesting, what mades you think that? :-)

I came for the TerraTech, I subbed for the Culture vessel nomenclature.

[@ZeroGravitas]

Woot, another Iain M Banks fan! Welcome. :-)

[@KjuBlackWolf]

Nice video man. You give me a awesome idea. Thanks. Sorry my english. Hi from brazil. Keep with the good work. 😁

[@dogdayboy7266]

You should use the scu on enemies even if it’s nothing good to reduce lag

[@ZeroGravitas]

It's definitely worth tidying up near your base, but the loose block debris out here will just despawn after a couple minutes. :-) Auto-mined resource chunks are a different matter - they are the FPS death!

[@Lorenzo0077]

just a little info : you can add more than 2+5 stuff in the Scrapper "waiting list", with the venture i see 2+20, for the gso it's 2+10 (min) but you can add more manually (2+14), but i can't go beyond 2+1 with geocorp .. their stuff is so big :)

[@ZeroGravitas]

Sure. The stacked blocks can get in the way, in various ways. Which is why I've kinda gone back to GSO scrappers with my ultimate "CFS Godzilla" crafter, because, in practice, you can't get more than the 2+1 resource blocks in the GC scrappers. :-) Hopefully we'll get to show that in a video... One of these years.

[@kruxdt6307]

The Hoik god is back !

[@solidus3168]

BRUH!!!! Didn’t realize you can MAKE the blocks you don’t know in your license level. I know what i am doing this coming weekend!!!

[@ZeroGravitas]

I know, right?! That's why I made this video - crafting is so overpowered, but so few KZbinrs show this method, always going out to grind missions.

[@solidus3168]

@@ZeroGravitas Well i realized something BIG as far as mining is concerned: You had said in your video the autominers stop mining but keep a running tally when you get too far away. Turns out that SEEMS to be the same as the enemy de-spawn distance. i was playing on the salt flats getting carbonite for one of the GEOCorp mining missions, had my (YOUR) quad miners set up to mine two veins. In spawned GIANT TECH. So I ran until they de-spawned and saved my setup from a painful death. When i popped back up nearby it shot out the carbonite every 10 seconds. So the ranges appear to be MUCH shorter on XB1. As for the draw distance, this actually might be even shorter.

[@ZeroGravitas]

​@@solidus3168 That's interesting... I expected the draw distance to be sorter, but hadn't thought they would use a different load distance too. Makes sense, I guess. That's going to make it more impossible to mine different biomes simultaneously. But I guess you just have to go back and re-visit them to get the faster 10s payout rates.

[@riddledrasberry6270]

Might i suggest you look into the game FACTORIO... its loads of fun, even though it is not visually pleasing. You have to try it to see the fun in it.

[@ZeroGravitas]

Thanks, yeah. I *might* have been recommended to me before. ;-) And I might have already bought it too. :-) But I feel like there's more influence I can have on this game, right now - I've seen a lot of very clever stuff made in Factorio that is beyond my current cognitive limitations. :-s

[@quanohong3755]

i can't load tech from steam and tech imagines which i downloaded from workshop didn't work, so, give me *.png snapshots plz

[@ZeroGravitas]

See my other reply to you. 😉

[@quanohong3755]

@@ZeroGravitas i download snapshots at this steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197971318812/myworkshopfiles/?appid=285920&p=1&numperpage=30 then put them in snapshot folder but i don't see it in game. i made same with your zip in ep9 and it works. so i can't download from workshop to use??

[@nate3035]

Any plans for episode 5?

[@ZeroGravitas]

Editing is happening right now... So still a week or two away, sorry. :-s

[@nate3035]

ZeroGravitas that’s fine, but what are you doing in it? In general, I mean.

[@ZeroGravitas]

OIC. Crafting *base* tutorial (and a few fun Venture techs). :-)

[@Dragonslayer_1215]

I know this is old but your music makes me think you should just do lofi videos along side you just grinding and kill other lmao it’s would be so satisfying cx

[@Dropped_Angel]

Well you know what..... well....... umm....... Yep I’ll subscribe

[@xeliath555]

airplanes can be a massive time saver (I put 10 missiles on mine xD)

[@wreckervilla]

that thing is so top heavy you could harvest ground rocks by doing a stoppie :p

[@ZeroGravitas]

Lol, pretty much. Bonus feature! ;-)

[@Zomdao]

I rebuild this plane, but i can't fly with it... How can I fly?...

[@ZeroGravitas]

Hey. Do you understand the two control systems and the way the keys change between being on the ground and airborne? You need to hold down [Shift] while taking off *and* flying, but you only hold down [W], for forwards, until you're in the, then once you let go of it, [W] becomes pitch down, so press [S] to pitch up and climb. This plane should take off OK on the flat, if you've copies it exactly. But if you're struggling, still, you could use a small hill or cliff to launch off, to get airborne more easily. :-)

[@jasonfalzarano7888]

Finally some good fuckin shit With some sosig

[@solidus3168]

....noticed in .8 you are not getting charged your life savings to summon snapshots......

[@ZeroGravitas]

".8"...? Oh, the game version(?). You can't buy arbitrary snapshots in campaign... (Not since over 2 years back.) Only the tech that you were driving when you die... And that it costs the same as buying the blocks at shop/payload terminal - 3x the sell value of the block's constituent parts.

[@solidus3168]

@@ZeroGravitas WHOAAA!!!! Now it makes more sense when I try to summon say: "Turret Joe", or anything else I have saved as a snapshot, it costs an arm and a leg... Cost me 27K to call my shielded/healing refining setup, then add like 12K for EACH of the quad autominers to set down.... that is VERY EXPENSIVE when you need to call something in. I cannot imagine how much it is going to cost to build something nice like you had here and then keep calling an sending away the airplane when you wanna do a simple scout run and maybe it might not be worth driving GODZILLA over there.

[@ZeroGravitas]

@@solidus3168 You're really confusing me... So you're saying that console has the option to load techs in by buying them, if you don't have the blocks? Can't do this on PC. It does display a price from the tech, in our loader, but it's not relevant unless you're re-buying the tech you were driving that got destroyed...

[@solidus3168]

I am so very glad to be wrong about this. I did some testing, for science. As it turns out the price that it shows me on console in the menu is only for when you die. I actually took three screenshots To show my wallet before during and after. it was supposed to cost me 70 something thousand bucks and it costed me zero. So basically I misunderstood the entire system and so it’s a happy day!!!! BRING ON THE ARMADA TO PROTECT THE MINING OPERATIONS!!!!!!!!

[@ZeroGravitas]

@@solidus3168 Oh good, I'm glad. But it's interesting that the loading menu misled your expectations. I might be worth posting a short feedback thread to the main forum, saying that. 🙂
