- Lots of changes to my narration during this video, so I'm sorry if it seems a bit choppy at points and there are some changes in tone. I'm closing in on a style I like, so hopefully things will be more consistent in the next video.
Also, when I initially rendered it (after 5 tries fighting with windows movie maker) I forgot to add music. After going back and adding music and trying to render it a further 10 times, it could not successfully finish without and error, so there's no background music in this video. It looks like I'll need to learn a real video editing software for the next one.

I love just putting everything together and praying it somehow works. Warptorio is amazing.
Since you made me go into Warptorio with your second episode about two weeks back, i could barely wait for the third one to come out xD
Saaaaame
another Saaaaaaaame here
Your new Narration Style is much better.
I am just at minute 8 right now, but it is much easier to listen to you now (for me).
Amazing how much it improved from one second to another.
I am unsure if i like the second or third narration style better, both are a big improvement in my opinion.
Third is definitely what I’m leaning towards. Sometimes before it felt like i was struggling to fill the video, so a more loose and possibly rambly tone makes the whole editing process a lot more fun and gets more video out of the same amount of footage, as well as hopefully being more entertaining!
7:52 I found a new trick with the harvester platforms! It's only really useful when you want to switch to laser turrets.
You need two peices of information:
8:24 First, you noticed if you place the platform right next to the other one, they could clip and share buildings.
So if you place a line of normal turrets fully on one platform, and a line of bonus turrets overhanging off the second platform, you can move the bonus turrets onto the first platform and clip them into the normal turrets.
With just that information you can double the defence on a single platform for only one tile of space. But that leaves the second platform vulnerable in comparison. Not ideal.
This is where the second piece of information comes in. You can place buildings on the piece of planet that gets teleported into the harvester floor. When you recall the harvester, the buildings go with the piece of planet. But you can overhang buildings in the exact same way as on the harvester platforms; if you place a building half on the planet piece and half on the harvester floor, it will still teleport with the planet piece. Where does the planet piece teleport to? Right where you had the harvester platform.
So to put it all together, make two harvesters with room to fit a ring of turrets fully on the platform (flamethrowers highly recommended). Make sure power extends to the very edge of the platform.
You'll be working on opposite edges of the platforms simultaneously (i.e. North side of the left platform and South side of the right platform). Place the normal turrets in their proper spot on one platform, then place the bonus line of turrets on the second. Move the second platform so it clips the bonus turrets into the normal turrets on the first platform, then move the first platform. Place the normal turrets on the second platform, then move the first platform to clip its bonus turrets with the second platform. You should now have a situation where the you can move either platform and it will get the bonus turrets. Here's where the second piece of information comes in: place the second line of bonus turrets on the harvester floor, overhanging on the planet piece. When you recall that harvester, it will take the first line of bonus turrets with it, and teleport the second line of bonus turrets back to its former position, perfectly clipping them into the normal turrets on the other platform.
Repeat on all four sides for two fully defended platforms. The only flaw I've found is you have to redo the last portion of the process if any of the turrets are destroyed... Bots will refuse to place a building even if the ghost is properly clipped.
I hope that wasn't too confusing!
Cheers
Very nice improvement on your speech :) Was though understanding everything but is a lot better now! Also, nice series :D
There is a furnace build that is 1 tile thinner, you can fit 2 of them in there! I think I mentioned how to do it in another comment
Nevermind you did it shortly after I commented 😅
Also, we’ll done on improving your diction and microphone use, I appreciate the uniqueness of your narration, but the improvement is also welcome!
The effort put into better diction and mic quality is much appreciated.
You can save a bit of space with the advanced oil refineries by putting them directly next to each other and using four rows for pipes on the output side.
If you have enough refineries you can also save even more space by 'mirroring' the setup with a slight offset and having another row of refineries out into the same three output pipes. This does require one more row though (so it still saves three),so the two rows of refineries have five rows between them, if I recall correctly.
Make the switch to nuclear and you wont regret it. A properly designed nuclear setup is well worth it long before you get Kovarex. Main things are making sure you properly control the fuel into the reactors to only 1 per reactor when needed, getting enough heat pipe to the exchangers to make solid heat transfer, and getting water into the right spots without becoming huge.
EPISODE THREEE!!! LETS GOOOO
i love your content, your voice is *chefs kiss* mwah
the audio quality and narration has improved significantly since the first few videos with it. Also just for the record, cant really tell the difference between the three different styles, they all sound acceptable to me.
If you press shift+c with even distribution installed it will dump your inventory to nearby machines (labs, assemblers, etc.) you can also change it so it balances the inventories
People keep telling me this and I keep forgetting when I come to record, I’ll have to force myself to next time I record to get into the habit of it.
@@ripecontext I ignored it for a long time too but it DRASTICALLY speeds up hand feeding machines. After reading the FAQ for the pack the author recommended hand feeding for so much of it I forced myself to use the keybinds.
I love the content btw keep it up ❤️
Warptorio is very fun, although I was pretty shocked you'd left the bullet damages techs for that long, a belt fed line of turrets hold off big biters on yellow ammo plus the red green black and blue upgrades. Only rarely does a big spitter get spit off. Those damage upgrades are really helpful especially vs mediums and lasting all the way to bigs while saving on resources.
Plus a line of turrets is well... Its my preferred method everyone plays differently ofcourse I think my way is the best
Yet another Factorio UA-camr added to my patreon collection. Nice content. Keep it up man :)
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoy the content.
I like the variety in narration in this episode, its nice
i think your narration improved quite well! one thing I noticed is that you slowly get more quiet over longer segments, maybe work on that
Let's goooo, I've been waiting for this!
Just a tip, with red belts and a bit of belt weaving you can compress a full smelting colum from 11 tiles wide to just 6 and tileable.
If you got a Discord I can share a screenshot/blueprint ^^
Yep...what warptorio really does well it make defense decisions matter. But like all things Factorio....eventually it won't.
Keep up the good work Ryan. Love your evolution throughout the series!
Upgrade the beacon on the Warp Factory floor. He alone will give such a performance boost that half of the factories can be removed and still win. The only pity is that it doesn't cover additional halls - I don't know why the author of the mod decided to limit it, because this way these additional halls become meaningless.
I definitely will next episode, it seems like it could be a massive buff especially since I’m so limited in how fast I can bring in materials.
Also, I think the mod creator did that because the halls aren’t really meant for factory, they’re meant to be just for getting materials to the turrets, though obviously we don’t use them that way.
Such a great series, cant wait for part 4!
Perfect timing. Having a terrible evening, thanks for helping me through it.
warptorio makes you rethink space efficency on a whole new level. sometimes even questions ur sanity or ask if you are stupid xD
It definitely brings out the spaghetti in you, there’s something beautiful about making the most beautifully disgusting gordian knot of spaghetti ever conceived in a tiny space.
Oh man, logistics chests are going to be such a game-changer! Is there any late-game way to have your fortress produce ore, or to go to planets with larger and richer ore patches you can stay permanently on?
As far as I know, it doesn’t get any better than this. The only step i see we can take to improve the resource gathering is getting a bigger harvester platform that’s easier to defend, which might allow staying on a planet for even longer.
@@ripecontext Now that you have bots, I don't think there's really any downside to making a surface base blueprint that you can just stamp down whenever you land on a new planet. And since you can stay on a planet for as long as you like, it isn't like you have to paste the blueprint often anyways. I reckon playing this mod at the scale of a vanilla game could seriously increase your production and get rid of any space issues. I think this is actually a flaw in the mod, but hey, you've suffered for long enough, so why not abuse it!
I just searched for factorio :)
You have a wealth of videos waiting for you
You're a great speaker to listen to. So don't sweat the technicalities too much.
Thank you, I do try but I’ve been cursed with a British accent.
@@ripecontext that's part of why its enjoyable. It's refreshing to hear non murrican accents every now and then 🤣
Holy shit, what research did you do between clip 1 and clip 2? That's an incredible change mate!! Really shocked of the sudden change - in a good way! :D
Honestly research was probably a strong term, I googled how to talk into a microphone and how to commentate and such and just sort of applied what I heard. I keep my mouth a set distance from the microphone, talk a bit slower and try to change the tone of my voice a bit.
@@ripecontext it's working out great man!
LETS GOOOO NEW WARPTORIO EPISODE
Banger series
i got addicted to Warptorio2 through your videos - its a welcome struggle between staying on a planet and wasting more bullets than you can get iron in^^
but please decrease the games volume a tiny bit more, it would make understanding you a lot easier
Will do, I’m still figuring out audio mixing and such.
Warptorio 2 has a very interesting take on factorios gameplay, and I think that that kind of interaction you’re talking about is what makes the mod so strong.
20:07 "belt's always win on speed" wube released some statistics regarding these and bots seemed to win at everything, better performance, and speed. it's on their forums somewhere but it was an old article, i'm not sure if they changed anything or not (i think it was posted in reply to a joke they made about removing logistic bots from the game) .
also, this is so cool.. i been playing space exploration for nearly a year now trying to beat it and this almost looks similar in a weird way.. but now you made me want to play 🥵
Hmm, I knew they always won in short distance, I use them for train unloaders sometimes, but I feel like they aren’t well suited for running a base because their priorities aren’t always the best and it can leave some items with little resources. I have to say though during the recording for the next episode (spoilers) I had no issue with them in the confined spaces of the factory floor running almost everything.
@@ripecontext yeah true, i don't remember the confines of the testing but i can't imagine they would be any good at running an entire base, probably just loading/unloading like you said.
good luck with the series though!!! it looks like a lot of fun, am enjoying it!
Really getting into this series keep up the good job.
Hurrah for the @AtomicShrimp appreciation!
Great vid imo!
Thank you! Definitely more to come, I’m having a lot of fun with the mod and I’m interested to see how the endgame will turn out.
Here is a little trick I learned to get a lot of coal, smelt wood in a furnace. Each of those will net you 150 coal, and the wood can stack to 100, so that's 15000 piece of coal from one stack, and since trees are virtually useless in this, you can stuck have your bots deconstruct trees, take them to a chest on the boiler floor and make a small coal smelting setup. Recommended to use a loader mod, since it's the only way to get the coal out fast enough, and it will compact your buffers since you it won't disrupt the flow of resources. Just some tips I have for my little playthrough.
WE NEED MORE PARTS
The turret creep is such stinky cheese.
This is great
Excellent
Thank you
I was playing warptorio with a friend (their save) but then he said couldn't open stuff. Any idea why/how to fix?
I did my first run with the mod just after episode 2, after about 2 hours of play I narrowly missed standing on the platform when it warped away only to find I had auto saves turned off...
I believe if you die it spawns you back on the platform, but the only time I got left behind i save scummed so I’m not sure
When does episode 4 comes out, I cant wait 😭
Currently working on a one-off video which will be released soon™️. Warptorio Episode 4 is my immediate next project after that, all footage is filmed it just needs editing.
Gonk :]
Gonk!
