Wow this is insane!! This is inspiring me to make my first speedrun, I'm 13 hours deep into my first HC Death World. Took about 15 attempts to actually get past the first hour lol
What’s cool about Factorio speed runs is that even though a basic player as myself is nowhere close to the designing preparation or building speed as an expert, you get tons of little useful tips from watching the pros play. I’m still wondering how you do some of the things you do though. For example sometimes it seems like you’re able to switch placing blocks without selecting them in your menus, like going from normal pipes to underground pipes or stuff like that...
Shift+mousewheel let's you switch between the last things you copied, I think if you have a blueorintbook you can switch between individual ones the same way.
Hi, what you do is absolutely amazing, I don’t want to disregard your skills in any way but I have noticed your friend watching your game and giving you tips so I just want to know if for example my friend tells me exactly what to do and what to build and I build it is that run submissive or not eligible?
the more you need to be told, the lower your efficiency in getting stuff done having someone watching and taking notes from chat and alerting nerfrums on it means that the small mistakes can be fixed in a timely manner. we're humans, not robots, it's normal for some stuff to be off sometimes and having someone to remind you of it in a timely manner makes it much better. But again - the more you need this kind of help, the worse your efficiency is Honestly I don't think having someone watching over and reminding you of stuff would invalidate anything - as I mentioned, there's time loss at any point where you make a mistake or when you forget what you're supposed to do, but having someone help correct the small stuff that sometimes happens is still great. I don't see why a run would be invalidated by that though imagine you get someone like nefrums telling you what to do at every step, continuously. you think you'd beat his time? execution would suffer greatly if you don't know what you're doing yourself
He literally finishes death world run in less than a third of the time it takes me to do default run. In fact he finishes death world in about the same time as my any% run. WTF!?!
If I was a bitter and this guy suddenly just crashed into my planet, I would absolutely not bother him at all. Just let him do his thing and he will be out in a couple of hours.
I am very curious as to how many hours of Factorio you got of gameplay before you obtained this kind of skill level? I am totally new to this kind of game genre. I always thought these type of building sims would be something I would utterly hate, yet I am amazed that Factorio is one of my all time favorite games, and am still barely in the tutorial with 17 hours LOL. So you beating this game in under 3 hours is something truly amazing.
I also did the tutorial in about that time lol. You get better over time though, I'm guessing Nefrums has about 4, 5, 6k hours in. To bad he doesn't reply on here much, might try asking it on Twitch, I'm curious too.
@@lukasgroot Thanks for the reply. Believe it or not I am kind of new to UA-cam posting and it seems that not many UA-camrs answer back. So I appreciate your taking the time. I figured you have invested some ridiculous time in a game to be so crazy skilled at it. I am a super passionate gamer and there are just too many games that I want to play. My back log is crazy long. So I just can’t loose too many hours in the same game.
i think it also matter how you play, you can have 1k+ but focus different stuff , speedrunning is another activity. You dont really need know everything in game, but you need be always trieing to go for fastest time.
It's pretty much amassing knowledge (mainly knowing what each thing needs and how to build production for it, how much you need etc, you get to know this stuff from before you even start researching it, so you can be ahead on your build) and practicing to make execution speedier and more flawless (while everyone will amass knowledge about the game with time and start to learn how to build stuff and what each thing needs, working on execution is specific to speedrunning, both for planning the layout and keeping track of each thing nonstop and for being fast enough about the execution) as someone else mentioned, playstyle is important as well. if you want to go for a speedrun, you have to focus on different things than if you want to , say, design and make a megabase.
It sometimes baffles me, still, that the human brain is actually capable of this level of micromanagement. I can't even handle deathworld for a consistent run. It's mesmerizing to study these videos.
Play smart with pollution. Each biter in an attack is directly a result of points of pollution absorbed. He's probably just managing pollution better. Also heading off attacks and kiting the group around early pillboxes is HUGE in the beginning defense
Why does waiting for the crashed ship to deconstruct feel like R.I.P for the run? It's irrational, but I could feel the impatience! All my best and, gg! Dave
@@aeosynth of course. but this does not remove the question of what will take more time, a delay for the production of the minimum required number of conveyors or time for running around with inventory filled with coal and scattering it among the furnaces and miners. it just needs to be calculated instead of guessing.
@@anatoliyzhestov3915 that's true, why don't you test it? also belts alone don't do anything, you need inserters to put things both on and off the belt, and unless you use burner inserters you need to run power lines too.
Я бы не пережил момент, когда ящик, полный стали, съели кусаки. Я бы умер повторно, когда они сделали тоже самое с ящиком для модулей скорости и эффективности.
I think that makes it more fair - otherwise you could sit there rerolling to the perfect map for hours if you wanted to. this way you can get a decent map but you're sacrificing time for it
you mean what happens at the end? you get that with your first rocket launch in any playthrough. there's also stats if you press P for pretty much anything, real time so you can check it out
Wow that was sensational! In last WR I knew that there was room for improvement despite a brilliant attempt, never had any doubt you’d smash it Well done 🫡
I’ve never built a land mine in this game.
If someone had asked me if the game even had land mines I would have said no.
They're super useful on Biter heavy maps!
Ever built a filter stack inserter?
@@lukasgroot its the sauce to my spaghetti
15 minutes full factory. Me at 15 minutes: taking out my first 100 iron plates. Amazing play
"should put some mines on the left side"
"Nah it's fine"
left side gets attacked
Nefrums hope all is well 💯🤍 we miss your factorio speedruns!!
Congrats on breaking the 3h mark!
Love the support between you & Anti!
Oh my gosh the driving with the land mines just decimates bases. Stellar play, always nice to watch you.
DAMN BRO! CONGRATS 🎉🎉
We all knew it was just a matter of time, and today is the day 🎉
Wow that's a huge improvement on the time! Congratz on your ongoing effort
Obliterated the 3 hour mark. So impressive!
You deserved this one SO much, nefrums! Result from intense and hard training, for sure! (There. Now I can watch it)
Sub 3 !!!
Congratulations Nefrums !
We all knew this build had sub 3 hours potential, great to see happening! Great job as always!
Is nefrums okay I really loved his vids who made me get into factorio in the first place he plays the game so satisfyingly
I can't believe you're still speedrunning this game, I used to watch your vids like 2-3 years ago. I respect the grind man
Insane playing ability. Great video!
Congratulations on sub-3. Keep smashing those WRs!
This guy is a one man speedrunning community.
that's exactly what I was looking for, thank you Sir
damn you really broke the 3 hour mark
next sub 4 hour 100% :)
I just broke the 3 hour mark. 2:55:20.
In any%
After 2 years
Wow this is insane!! This is inspiring me to make my first speedrun, I'm 13 hours deep into my first HC Death World. Took about 15 attempts to actually get past the first hour lol
Nefrums, your videos are the best Factorio speedruns. Where you at?
For anybody reading this, he still plays on twitch www.twitch.tv/nefrums.
Still alive and speedrunning.
Halfway thru, this build is nutso. Love it!
Everything has a purpose, everything makes sense, brilliant.
Such a beautiful gameplay to be watched! I'm a newbie player on Factorio and watched this like it was a movie 😋
Super impressive achievement, well done 👏
Unbelievable stuff. Congratulations!
14:20 this seeming mastery of seedfactory is one with spaghetti and lasagna... your wisdom and knowledge are impressive and aweing.
25:15 Now that is an interesting zoom. is youtube acting up?
anti is quaking in his boots
I accidentally blinked and you managed to set up chemical plant at this moment :)
Good game! 'Keep smashing those WRs!'
"50% is a passing grade"
*Cries in American*
Awesome, absolutly awesome!
"He can't keep getting away with this!"

Old man what to said :), congrats

@@Cyber_Angel_1 you're welcome but to be clear I'm not Nefrums, the setter of this record. I'm just a viewer like you 🙂

i though that speedrunes in this game must be some youngsters, im pretty amazed you are able to do this
Sub 3 hours well done!
It sometimes baffles me, still, that the human brain is actually capable of this level of micromanagement. I can't even handle deathworld for a consistent run. It's mesmerizing to study these videos.
Behold, the power of ADHD.
I would be so proud of myself if i were half as fast as nefrums
no way we are playing the same game. on death world at 25 minutes having 1/3 of his machines the hordes attacking my base are 5 times the size
Play smart with pollution. Each biter in an attack is directly a result of points of pollution absorbed. He's probably just managing pollution better.
Also heading off attacks and kiting the group around early pillboxes is HUGE in the beginning defense
congrats brother
Wow. The end is so fast. Impressive
I like how this is treated like rally racing where you have to have the guy in the passenger seat remind you of things 😆
GG was anyone else watching to see if he would upgrade the leftmost green science assembler??
Sheeeeesh, you are a legend 🔥🔥🔥
this is mindblowing gameplay.
Why does waiting for the crashed ship to deconstruct feel like R.I.P for the run?
It's irrational, but I could feel the impatience!
All my best and, gg!
Dave
Congrats on sub 3!
Congratulations!
Awesome job fren!
may be i'm wrong but simple belt with 2-3 coal inserters from coal mine at start - save time to run with coal
but then you have to build a lot of belts
@@aeosynth it's no solution just a point for calculating what's better. this belts any way must be maked early or later.
@@anatoliyzhestov3915 but if you wait for later then you make the belts in assemblers. if you make them early you have to delay something else.
@@aeosynth of course. but this does not remove the question of what will take more time, a delay for the production of the minimum required number of conveyors or time for running around with inventory filled with coal and scattering it among the furnaces and miners. it just needs to be calculated instead of guessing.

Ah, you have to browse seeds on timer. Makes sense, another random element.
I think that makes it more fair - otherwise you could sit there rerolling to the perfect map for hours if you wanted to. this way you can get a decent map but you're sacrificing time for it
Nice work!
What a madlad
Wake up! cause it's time for space age
Unbeliaveble 😮
Nefrums! Nefrums! Nefrums!
Tried your method of killing the biter bases, zigzagy, and I died haha. It's not as easy as you make it look.
3H defeated. godlike!
Nefrums where you at bud? hope everything is ok
What do you mean? He’s streaming several times a week.
Yo we got sub 3, let's go.
Smurfen for the win! wait... I got that backwards.
Hoooly spaghett
Incredible placing power; reflexes of a awp laser god
In that time i can start building trains ;)
No way, he really did it.
It's not over yet.
I'm always checking out this game but it seems a little bit too much. Maybe I'll give it a go.
impressive! gg
Hi I’m really new to factorio can someone please explain why he only uses 1 engine on he’s boilers and not two thank you 😊
How do you display statistics about a game?
you mean what happens at the end? you get that with your first rocket launch in any playthrough. there's also stats if you press P for pretty much anything, real time so you can check it out
Bro, saw your time for Space Age. 14h. Will you release the video? :D
Wow that was sensational!
In last WR I knew that there was room for improvement despite a brilliant attempt, never had any doubt you’d smash it
Well done 🫡
Sub 3h, thats crazy
I hope your okay 😢
Oh, hi 3-hour mark!
Speedrun the new DLC!
When are we going to see you play 2.0 and space age???
Wow, thats very fastest
This is awesome
Gratz
Ever tried deathworld using angel''s and bob's mods?
Yeah, sub 3!
soma mama gesa
Stone age to space age in under 3 hours. Dibs on this guy during the apocalypse

Well done! What is the shortest time possible?
🎉
What is this game?!
Worse than crack
Space age !!!! More and more!!!!
