I have never played Factorio and have no clue what half the items made were, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't watch the entire thing to see those iron rocks end up getting thrown into a giant plasma ball
Excellent choice of music. Ratchet & Clank was my childhood. Also, the moment we went onto a belt with some copper wire I was like "we're gonna be a fucking speed module"
This was really cool. I like how poetic it is that you never see the full scope of the train, never the head nor the back. Really gets you into the tiny perspective that this one item has, a tiny cog in a machine of unimaginable proportion. Heh, kinda reminds me of real life...
The closest thing to this game I have played is called "Mindustry". It has an industrial theme something like this where you build, mine resources, refine and manufacture, generate power, build turrets and defences, supply those turrets and defences. So on and so forth with long chains of conveyer belts across the map. It is what you could reasonably consider Factorio Jr as while it shares some similarities, it posseses a fraction of the size and complexity. 1% of the map size and maybe 10% of the complexity if I'm being generous. At least that is on the complexity of what the chain is. The size of the chain and how much the factory can pump out every minute makes my largest builds look... laughable... Where I to attempt the same thing in factorio, it would be horrifically inefficient. If I went out of my way to scrape up every scrap of resources on a map... That is at most an afternoon of time. But by that point, the effort has long since reached redundancy. The level is long since beaten and you don't need it. You've won. But somebody spent days in Factorio planning and constructing this supply and production chain. A portion of a yet even larger project and conflict on a map we only saw a portion of. Mindustry makes you a store manager where Factorio makes you CEO of a international corperation. I would not be worthy. I would not be ready. Mindustry demands a half hour of focus and a little patiance. Factorio demands your intelligence, weeks of time, and any sanity you dare to give it. That is what you are watching. That is Factorio. You are not ready... But the factory dares you to try. Mind your clocks, lest you receive the curse and lie of imortality. For you cannot kill he who has no life.
@@daanstrik4293 indeed, that was an interesting project... but i still maintain that for ALL *_practical_* purposes the map can be considered infinite. ^^

Feels weird seeing a megabase train feeding into a base that doesn't use the standard 3-2 direct feeding for green circuits. I can't put wire on the belt without suffering major throughput issues even if it's technically properly proportioned.
@@rafaelkaramazov420 In any base that doesn't have absurd mining prod for drills to instantly fill trains via direct insertion it's always better to produce plates by the miners. They have larger stacks so are objectively better for logistics
This is so lovely, obviously your base is modded and much bigger than bases usually are, which makes me question, what if it's in 2.0 with the Space Age DLC? Can't wait!
1) this is a modded world (see the windmills) 2) Worldedit. Once you reach megabase levels: finding more ore patches becomes rather tedious. So a lot of people just add a massive patch so they can focus on the fun stuff 3) Mayby a custom setting. Like a jacked up version of railworld (which also explains the stupidely long train lol) 4) as you go further out into the world: resource patches naturally get richer. I’d have to double check to be sure but mayby they get bigger too
Ah, yeah. Every single thing we do in Factorio, like mining, smelting, killing, and destroy everything on our way, is for only one ultimate purposes: scienc3
Iron ore gets smelted into a plate, the plate is used to make a rifle magazine, the magazine goes to a gun turret, gets fired, end of story xD should make one about iron ore in Krastorio 2 or Space Exploration mod, that would be a hour long video in it self

A reason could be i cleaned all the belts and chests before to avoid traffic jams for a smooth run

Imagine how long it would take to watch tho, man am I grateful for the existence of supply chains.

very good
This base is the manifestation of "What if the answer to 'Should we?' was always yes?"
Thank you for a relaxing ride.
Came for the promise of a journey, stayed for that *magnificent* train
That's crazy. I literally had this thought like 3 days ago. "POV you're a iron ore becoming a blue circuit" was what I had in mind.
its actually really cool to see what your items go through before becoming what you see them after
Excellent choice of music. Ratchet & Clank was my childhood. Also, the moment we went onto a belt with some copper wire I was like "we're gonna be a fucking speed module"
