Shattered Pipe Dream - Factorio Tunnel Vision ep4 (Insane Beeline to Rocket Silo) (early access)

Well, all the recording is done... I won't say if it ended prematurely though...

For now, all is fine :D This episode is on the shorter side, but it's such a coherent episode that it'd be weird to add something unrelated tacked on to the end... If the following episode turns out to be short to, I'll do a double release....

Factorio Tunnel Vision - a straight beeline to Rocket Silo! - ep. 2 (early access)

Hi :)

Here's the second episode! Going well so far, and I kind of have a plan for the rest of the game now, altough it has no backup whatsoever if anything goes wrong...

Oh well. Anyway, I haven't even publicly released the first episode yet, trying to get a head start on the editing. I'll be pretty busy with regu...

Factorio Tunnel Vision - A tech beeline STRAIGHT to Rocket Silo - Challenge map

Hi everyone! The first episode is finally ready!

It includes the talking-mike-video at the end (the last 7 min, which you may have already seen)

So far so good, but it's hard to film this challenge in an interesting way... I foresee there will be lots of ingame "manual labor" and other repetitive stuff. I'm really...

Factorio Tunnel Vision - a straight beeline to Rocket Silo! - Intro and explanation

Hi guys :)

This is a short introduction to my next challenge map. We're going for a straight tech beeline to Rocket Silo, and here I talk about the tech path and the difficulties we'll face due to the techs we'll miss.

It turns out it's quite difficult on how to make this challenge into a good video, I've restarte...

New series introduction! (and delayed return)

Hello everyone :)

I'm finally back and safe now, and started working on a new series today! Our honeymoon trip didn't go exactly smooth though, and we got stuck in Nepal for 2 weeks more than planned!

(When we arrived for our honeymoon in Nepal, covid there was very low, under 100 cases/day countrywide. While we w...

2021 Q2 update

Hi guys,

I've been testing out ideas for the next series, but I've also developed minor carpal-tunnel-ish comlaints in my mouse-controlling arm, so I've been trying to take it easy. I have good hopes I'll recover completely because I'm going to spend 40ish days without PC access, trekking / honeymooning through the moun...

Factorio Biter Island - DeathWorld (Challenge Map) - Grand Finale!

Hi guys!

Only a short time to sneak peek this one, as I will plan it as premiere approx. 20 hours after this post (once planned for public release, youtube changes the video from unlisted to private, disallowing viewing even with the direct link)

Enjoy!

PS for those interested, part 2 (which will be the last...

And Now For Something Completely Different!

Hi guys!

I recently watched Anti vs Nefrums Worst DeathWorld race, and got inspired to design a solid opening strategy for this map using my recent research and experience gained by my similar Horrible Seed DeathWorld livestream.

Work on the 50-minute Biter Island Finale is progressing steadily as well, I expect t...

Patreon preview - first part of the grand finale (no music)

Hi :)

Now that the biter problem seems solved, I don't want the series to drag on and on, so I'm probably going to edit the whole rest in a single grand finale, it will be 45-60 minutes in total. This will take me an extra week to do so, but I didn't want to leave this week without anything. The video above is the first...

PS: my 2nd livestream ever, tomorrow: https://youtu.be/ZwGRl-bp1W4

Planned stream this saturday! (9:00 UTC / GMT (= 10:00 Central Europe Time, 12:00 Moscow time, 04:00 New York time))

My most difficult challenge map ever!  I will be playing a "Horrible Map Seed"-challenge map on DeathWorld  settings, and I'm given only 12 hours to complete the map. This will be the most difficult challenge I've ever attempted by far,  and it might not even be possible at all (I did an opening test run and &n...

Hi guys!

Find out if I survived above ;) By the way, any ideas for a new series? It's kinda urgent lol...

Unfortunately this video was (wrongly) copyright-claimed upon upload by YouTube's content-ID system. The claim has been disputed, but it can take up to a month for the other party to even respond. As a consequ...

BiterIslandDeathworld ep6 final cut (early access)

Hi guys!

At the moment of writing, the video is still uploading, I'm going to sleep now but it should be ready in an hour or 2 (once it has a thumbnail, I guess)... If it's in low quality, check back later, it can take youtube a while to process 1080p

Enjoy!

And here's the finished episode!

Sneak peek - BiterIslandDeathworld ep5 - after editing round 1(PRE-TEXTOVER) - NOT A FINISHED NEW EPISODE YET!

Hi everyone :)

I'm a little behind due to almost a week of time-consuming non-computer events, I will get the episode finished by wednesday or thursday (so the early-access-period will be shorter than usual)

So, I thought I'd share this: This is what the video looks like after about 12 hours of work: the first edi...

Short update december/january plans

Hello everyone :)

I'm having an extremely busy month and haven't been getting around to do much editing (I need big blocks of uninterrupted time for that).

So, since I haven't done much work on videos, I decided that December will be "free" (Patreon will skip charging for 1 month, but everyone will keep their usua...

There is no spoon GUIDE - green science era (pt1)

Hi all,

Here is the first part of the green science era! The second part is almost ready as well, but the total playtime is going to exceed 40 minutes (green science is the era with the most techs and stuff to do), so I decided to cut it in two parts.

I'm going back to publishing videos on fridays, this part will ...

Factorio "There is no Spoon" on 100% Default Settings: The Ultimate Comprehensive Guide!

Hi all :)

Here is the first brand new shiny revamped totally logical first episode of this series!

It looks to become a 4-part series of about 30 minutes each, and now that all the pre-work is done and I Have not only A Dream but also I Have A Plan, I estimate the next 3 episodes should be about 2 weeks apart. Due...
