    Um... What did I do? how is this one of my most watched videos?

      Well, this is the first time I have seen any of your videos, I did a search for things about the next update, it could be that other people found it that way, or like me they are tired of the same old same old from the others and are looking for something fresher and in this case better than the others, I know I subbed, you have a good voice, and you show your mistakes and even explain why you should or should not do something, and as I said before, I even saw something I want to try, even after all the hours I have in I learned somethings. I know I want to see more, as if I play too long at a time my PC starts to melt, (I really need to upgrade it, new main, CPU and RAM)

      @davidduncan2000 Hey thanks for replying, I too need to upgrade my rig, still only running a Ryzen 2600x and a 2070 super. But I got bills and a base rebuild (chip, mobo, ram, cooler) like $1500 Canadian

    This video cuts through all the noise in life and really reminds you of what is important. My dad "killed himself" in 2003. But i don't have any memories before the age of 6. I'm now 29, married and finally feel able to give my wife a kiss and get some sleep before work on the morning. Best video I've probably ever seen on UA-cam. Thanks mate.

    Sneaky Tools is probably a very valid mod, especially for a content creator. It's not something players _need_ and viewers very much appreciate, so I'm for adding that one.

    • @RelaxedGamer
      @RelaxedGamer  7 днів тому +2

      Yeah, I’m trying to keep it as mindless (edit Modless) as possible, but sneaky might need to be snuck in.

      I like simple but I typically add in, Advanced Welding (can lock on to grind, detach parts by holding ctl, and weld things back together with weld plates), Improvised Experimentation (Press R to grab a block and move it around), sneaky sounds and auto ore pickup so I don’t need to hold F the whole time

    good start, I started playing then the game first came out, so I did see some things I would have done differently, and some things that gave me new ideas, and as I have always said, try to learn with everything, but most of all, I NEED THAT MUSIC!!!!!! that music is great building music.

    Welcome back! I enjoyed watching this but thought you might have has the resources to switch to a large grid drill rather than multiple small grid?
    I have to admit I struggled with 2 hours and had to watch it in smaller chunks but mostly because I watched it while I was working.

    • @RelaxedGamer
      @RelaxedGamer  7 днів тому +1

      Yeah, I suspected 2hrs might be too much, but I’d give it a try. The next one should be shorter (once I edit it a bit), just don’t have the time to edit.

    • @RelaxedGamer

      I do have the materials, but the drills work pretty good as is, probably won’t change it anytime soon.

      Sorry about that, DaVinci resolve updated and changed the audio stuff, I thought I turned it down enough, but I didn’t watch it through and some music might be a bit louder than others. I’ll turn it down more and maybe up my voice track a bit.

    Making a video and being forced to include console users is a bad idea. This game would be terrible on console and makes for boring content.

    • @RelaxedGamer
      @RelaxedGamer  14 годин тому

      I somewhat agree, I like that they wanted more people to play, makes sense business side as well, but they are out there, many have easier access to consoles as gaming on computer requires more upfront costs, for example to upgrade my gaming computer to something decent it requires 4 core components, Mobo, Processor, Ram and a cooler for the processor. Total is about 1500 in Canadian. Consoles cost half if not less than that. Once you toss in a video card which can be easily 1000-1500 on its own, it makes computer gaming expensive. Hence why I’m still running. A 2070 super I got on sale for around 500, years ago.

      The first episode was done with updated editing software (which changed a bunch of stuff including audio) and I couldn’t figure out how to duck the audio, so I dropped the volume of the music and it obviously wasn’t enough, future videos have audio ducking.

      I understand the gameplay, hence I am not using my gaming channel to talk to you.
      You do know about other mods that make drilling far more effective than making a drill rig. I remember the days when we made vertical drill ships.

      Yup, but as this is a basics series (short series btw) I’m trying to keep it as modless as possible. I normally run with near 60+ mods, so it’s punishing for me too hehe.

    i understang people play a game so much they get bored. now they do things like " hard mode" but u went beyond that. this is so frustrating wastdhing u fumble aroun. is is extremly boring. at least get mod Grabby Hands. i cannt watch any nore. good luck. bye

      @RelaxedGamer  2 дні тому

      The idea was to keep it as modless as possible, so that’s what I did, I like improvised engineering/ grabby hands too, but it’s not accessible on Xbox or PlayStation for those who play on console.
