Looks good, i'll watch it later (won't be able to hear sound for about another 5 hours, if not until Saturday)

also, shouldn't this thread be in videos?

I just posted this on the Videos section instead, sadly I cannot delete this one

Well, i believe that ssilk (or another moderator, it's just usually ssilk) moved it for you (although it's odd nobody said anything)

i would offer -roots tutorials (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... cm0OgOFDsJ) if you want to learn the "right" way to play (or just how not to fuck up better)

This_is_kind_of_my_thing

Hit alt to bring up the "more-information" overlay, it's really nice, tells you what is working, where inserters are going, and your pollution cloud on the mini-map

the pick-up key (if you haven't found out by now) is F

a better self filling drill is to have two drills facing each other (nvmd, you saw it elsewhere)

music slider is under "ambient" for some reason (devs pls)

oil does magic stuff, its mid-later game, and you need to research "Oil-processing"

the output side of a belt "pushes" the coal one square farther then the belt, so you can (and should in almost every case) leave a gap between the belt and the inserter

Code: Select all

 V

heh, you will wish you had more copper when you start making circuits to the volume you need for modules

the starting items are purely so that you shave almost 5 mins off of the starting grind

(1 pump : 14 boilers : 10 engines) is the standard power plant setup

don't call the inserters crazy, they are doing exactly what you told them to do

"feels like it's 15-20 mins" timestamp says 17, not bad... not bad at all... (looking at you DrDoom's "so it's been ~20 mins"... Timestamp... 50mins)

PS: that inserter is pulling the coal out, not stone, you need to back it off by one square...

i should get some kind of badge made up for "lets-play-critique"

if you want me to stop, just say, i just like watching let's plays and wanted to help you get better at factorio (^_^)

good luck on the series either way though

Thanks
I found all of the info helpful, especially that belt part
