Thank you for calling out the graph crimes in this game. Crust devs straight to the Hague 😤
Nothing better than good graph tantrum 😊
The small green O to the bottom right shows the Oxygen level in the habitat. You will need a airlock before the oxygen levels are normal.
I was wondering about that.
What a cliffhanger ending!! I cannot wait for the next episode!!
I ran into this very problem and the issue is that the game does not direct you to the private lab. I think there was a bug earlier where you couldn't gain the objective on the moon map. Basically the private lab is POI on the moon you can "buy" one of the sciences for a time. it's very expensive but it serves as a stop gap measure for when you run out of your stipend from earth.
Also it is pretty much consensus that saving the colonists is the Hardmode of the game since it requires a lot of tech that needs social points and its the first thing you run out of.
To be fair to the game, it actually tells you that on the "pick your quest" screen.
That bit at around 11:15, that's called lying by statistics.
Maybe because of my bad quality, but this game is quite difficult to keep track of, im still watching to support my favorite creator!
Habitat fittings that are powered need to be 1 space from walls,.I fell in this trap took me ages to figure it out
one control tip I can give for the rover is when you click the rover you can right click elsewhere on the map and just click the move option that pops up at your cursor makes it a lot easier, you can also do it for expeditions or investigations, just click the truck or rover right click the destination investigation or expedition and click investigate or start expedition. makes it a lot easier and quicker when assigning them tasks. later on when you get surface scanning on the rover you can just select him right click a location and click dispatch to scan and he'll just move there and start scanning. helps cut down on the micro management.
As for the story mode going crust or contracts, it really is just a difficulty setting. You get to the same point eventually but it is possible to complete just a more difficult path that requires building in a more time constrained way. It's just a matter of do you want a more relaxed stress free play experience or not and it is helpful with introducing you to the colonist mechanics as a kind of tutorial. You get the colonists earlier but it doesn't really matter they are very temporary with the way the system is now and how unfinished and WIP it is they will all bug out and die before too long without you being able to do much about it. Later on you can get more tech that will make it easier to support more colonists for longer periods of time but even then they will still bug out and die on you.
they'll refuse to eat, or get stuck in place and not be able to do anything until they just starve and die, they wont heal themselves with med kits, if you aren't careful and place buildings they work on inside rooms like the components factory they'll run out and work them and take a lot of health damage being away from oxygen for too long and die that way sooner too. You have to think of them as temporary and do what you can to increase their stay duration but you can only do so much.
But yeah it's like do you want to delay contracts and get them all going at a later gradually unlocked pace or just have it all from the start its up to you. Honestly I'd probably just recommend sandbox the most because the main story is in the games current state i'm pretty sure not doable because of the sheer quantity of high tech items you need to produce and the colonists just not working very well at the moment makes it pretty much impossible to make enough of them in time. in sandbox you don't gotta worry about it and can build expand and design your base at your own pace with no time constraints beyond filling contracts you've accepted and with everything unlocked from the start aside from tech allowing you to skip the story progression aspect of unlocking them.
It's usually possible to place 2 Regolith Extractors on a single resource node. Just has to cover 9 blocks. This way you could double your production in many cases.
I commented that yesterday. Since then I restarted my playthrough and realized it is not always possible. I could not do that on any nodes during my second playthrough, but I have much more nodes around. I think they randomly spawn and sometimes spawn in double-node. Strange
The spread is random, not always in neat 3x6 blocks, so it's RNG all the way through.
It may be better to not have so many interior walls to save on space, as well as all the supplies for the extra air transfer systems, power, etc.
15:00 Still ahven't watched the rest. But the impresion i get is that while building walls inside, the rooms don't count as rooms, so the power is disconected everywhere. That second power plug thing might not be needed.
Also, this mode is suposed to be a hard mode. So it makes sense that the contracts are locked. That's the point.
That is correct, the new walls replace the floor, which connects the entire room to the power grid. Any room that is not complete will not get power.
Had the same Green Science lock . You can buy Green research from the Private Lab on the moons surface. You can also make money buy straight selling materials but yeah being locked out of the contracts systems sucks :/
the melter is glichted because of the walls inside the room ... yank all interior walls ... because the other option is remove and rebuild the melter and ice crusher and then they will glitch again when the system pauses in its processing ... NO INTERIOR WALLS ...
btw to copy a building AND it's recipe CTRL lft click the building you want ... Shift lft Click to pace it ..
For contracts you need to build the repeater to unlock them.
For green science (or any science) go to the crust solutions tab in the market to buy as much as you want
Love your work Nilaus, keep it up! Very through and easy to play along, thanks for all the advice and also making Factorio much easier for everyone:)
11:30 that is definitely a copy of stock market (and similar) graphs. They NEVER show value change with base of the chart at 0, it makes for far more dramatic visuals when someone company share value makes a nosedive but when you look into it they lost 0.5% of hypothetical value.
Stock markey graphs always label the base value don't they? I don't recall. But not labeling the base is a heinous crime.
Stock market prices are also usually shown as a line graph. It's less evil to chop the bottom off a line graph vs a bar graph.
You have to build the repeater to get access to contracts. My playthru was stalled for hours before I realized that....
Thats not true .. u can build it and still have no contracts
@@sydney8578 Correct, but it's still a requirement. There's no prompt when to build it, so it's better to get it done so the contracts appear when the story queues it up.
CIt"YeeesStartWorkiiing" XD.
: can say power in buildings stops flowing in all rooms when the walls are building. I used only 1 power panel and once the interior wall was done it worked again witouth adding more of them
You can add the electricity, Temperature and Humidity layer for the room it next to the research lab on right most bottom sidebar 🙂🤙👍
You didn't save everyone though... You needed to send them the components to fix the other escape pod.
Interesting game. I love the soundtrack!
With the rooms you don’t really get much benefit from separating them so at least until you have a massive surplus starting with one big room is good(maybe split beds to another small one, ventilation is all you need for that)
it's so evil that the pods fall so close to night time, if your hgover is out of position that is an automatic fail.
There's no power because the room is incomplete because you built new walls. Just wait for it to finish building.
There's no point in researching all of those tender researchers when you have no contract system!
The graph should maybe have the base labelled, but zeroing it would make no sense when some items costs thousands and only fluctuate in price by tens.
Maybe you can use Blue and Orange to open up the Contract system and get Green science from contracts.
I think I’m gonna wait for this game to get a few updates before picking it up. I don’t mind the challenges it lays out but the science system feels broken in a few places.
Hello Nilaus, give a try to "soviet republic workers and resources" this game have nice mix of mechanic ;) GG for all your works, and i wait the big factorio expansions for your new contento about this!!
I think you can buy science packs.
There is a "paid lab", but it didn't spawn in people's saves that were started within something like 18h of launch, based on the steam forums.
This definitely looks up my alley, but how close is it to complete? I would hate to get halfway through when the game completely change or something.
Do the POIs - some of them reward with science points including green
31:15 I don’t watch Nilaus all that often, didn’t know he swore in videos lol
i just made one big room with everythign in it and it worked, later when i extended to put in labs power was non issue, after i put a vent in nor was air
The green science you can buy driving to it... or if you create science lab for the green.
I cant wait for more
advanced warning if you ex[and a rooms size by adding another set of walls remove the intersecting wall because the game has a problem with growing rooms ... usually fixed by depowering and repowering ...
you need 33 days to get a batch of food grown ... to feed the hope survivors ... and atleast 6 beds
yes power lines and buildings are SERIAL grids ... so a line tap on each end of your power grid will allow for repair or unbuillt ones to be bypassed and get power to your systems .... also beware debris will fall so a set of batteries underground is a saviour ... and RTGS are the best
if you activate more than 1 cut scene the voice acting on one of them will be muted ... pause and the game then cycles through one then the other n problem
each market price is by day change at 0000 and a day lasts 80seconds ... and a day or night cycle lasts 120 seconds .. a full day and night lasts 240 seconds ...
salvage hold shift and left mouse button and drag and paint the salvage you want ...
I'm not sure you are supposed to be able to be ready by the end. They keep adding to the requirements. I had a viable building with air and beds and kitchen and food and medical. Nope, not good enough to even survive in, we have to have a science lab before we'll move in. Oh no crashed!
Why is there an intake for Slag in the single regolith refinery ?
Can you get the remaining oxides from it like a recycling thing ?
No, but you can chain them this way
THey thrown too much at you too early in the game, and everything is rush rush rush.
All my settlers have died and I have no idea why - well, early access;)
So exiting. Is this the failed expedition saving attempt, or did you figure it out?
Where is Part 4? 😢
Though I agree the graph needs labels on the Y-axis.
It wouldn't make sense to have the Y-axis go down to 0 because then the difference between the max and min price would be so small as to be invisible on the graph. Especially for the larger values.
Then put a scale on the axis. Heck, just actually give axes. The x could mean anything as well (although it probably encodes the time). It's just bad design as he rightfully said only marketing would put up. If it is a graph it damn well has axis with units and a scale. Else it's just a pretty picture with no information
Does all of the factory building happen underground? If so that is less cool than I thought when I first heard of this game.
11:30 Okay, slow your roll there, chief. Using a baseline is common practice in Market charts when the fluctuations in price are small compared to the overall price. The mistake here was not marking the values on the left (the baseline value looks like it would be about 39 on your Smart Concrete chart) ... but anyone hovering over the "low" price bar should immediately understand what is happening.
The situation with setting up your starter quarters is just bafflingly bad design. You get zero indication of how much space you're going to need for all this stuff to make valid living quarters. I generally like the early pressure but it should definitely come with a reasonable amount of knowledge of what's to come. Sure you couldn't know in advance that the space station was going to de-orbit, but once you knew that, you could have known what a living quarters would require if you were going to build one. Admittedly this is "hard mode", but this is pretty ridiculous. And it's on top of the green science softlock that you are more prone to in this route (though it is not as bad if you get access to the paid lab, but I think your save is old enough that it is afflicted with the bug that makes the paid lab not spawn).
Out of curiosity, are you just doing the two runs (the one on Twitch and this one) or are you also poking around off-camera to learn things? It seems like learning in a live run would be very frustrating in this game. Based on the ending, I guess you are not doing much poking around off-camera.
"You didn't know it was going to deorbit!"
Erm... It's in the prologue, and the decision to help the station or focus on contracts is what you choose afterwards.
Focusing on contracts does nudge you towards living quarters, though it's more for staff looking into the astroid/explosion rather than saving the staff. There is an option to send materials to aid the station, but that's about it.
@@SirusDiarota It's true, that is basically your first meaningful decision. I'm saying, even if it weren't, you (your player character) would know what living quarters for the station refugees would require as soon as the deorbiting process started. Or at worst, your advisors would. Narrative games bother me when the player character knows things that the player doesn't.
Love this game, but its full of bugs, constant save breaking updates and very unbalanced when you dont know what you need to prepare for :(
This game need a LOT of improvements to become very good...I think I will like it a lot, in time...but today is a mess.
My biggest issue (besides all the problems other have talked about here and in the comments on Steam) is the absolute stupidity of the little drones...especially when you have excavated a lot and your underground base becomes larger and more complex, with a lot of machines...
If you observe them going around, they are litterally doing the different tasks in the most inefficient way possible...the excavators are terrible, picking blocks at random and wasting a lot of time moving around doing nothing...the different priorities of various tasks that have to be done in parallel are completely messed up and tryng to force them manually doesnt help at all...they dont even go to recharge correctly and keep moving around at 0.2x speed while you are screaming at the screen "GO TO FKG RECHARGE!!" :DDDD
I think I will pause for some months and get back after a lot of major patches, hoping for an improved AI and a lot of balancing...
Enjoying this series. That said I hope the devs look at comments for this. This game should absolutely be my *jam*. It's very much like my favourite game (factorio) and the story elements seem cool. That said, at the moment there is no way I'm buying it. 1)If a game keeps talking to me I walk away. I hate all the constant voice lines - it just stresses me out 2)The sound design and music is completely horrible. I would literally have to play this on mute to make it even slightly bearable. There is too much noise when mousing over / clicking etc. There needs to be about a 90% reduction in the little sound effects. The music being awful is a real shame but I can always just turn that off. 3) The graph thing. *shakes head*. Just .... I'm speechless. Label your goddam axes and fix the scaling. At present the graph is strictly worse than no graph.
❤
Haha, random graph cutoff without a note, that only journalists could do? And marketeers.
I guess that’s why they labeled that choice as hard 🤷🏻♂️
Also. You can buy science. Can’t remember what tab it is. But I just buy the science until I can make it myself.
You can also do contracts that gives you science. But just buy the stuff.
If u decide to start without contracts u dont get enough credits to keep science and game movinf forward
Nice content Nilaus ,I really love it ,but could you please lower the music volume in the games setting ,it's a bit frustrating ,thanks for every thing:)
Choosing the hard difficulty and then whine about the difficulty ... It was clearly presented what would happen if you choose it now live with it. Done and researched so much unnecessary stuff, it is no wonder sh!t hits the fan.

the bad graph is a deal breaker, sorry not sorry. I'll keep watching the videos, obviously but I can't buy the game in that state.
