Video

I think you should separate the channel update video and the whole reinventing scocialism and bringing it to america bit

As someone who already went through occupational burnout with no way of stopping work or otherwise I'd be out in the street, I'm always in favour of more social safety nets. Liked your UBI rant at the end, I'm a big supporter of the idea. Also, as far as the channel, maybe adding some shorts pulled out from the main videos can help with output?

I think the only thing you need to do is make content that is a bit more "mainstream". Not saying you have to play games like call of duty etc. Just that you have chosen a game that while fun for you is basically in the category of "forgotten in a dark corner" niche game. I really see no need for you to do any sort of voice work etc. Its more or less you having to find your style with either games or other things that are a bit more "eye catching" than for example Satisfactory. Sadly this is just how social media works. For example I wish I could do gameplay videos of games I love. But most of them are games no one cares for because they also fit in that same category as Satisfactory does. Your videos are interesting for the most part. Its just the subject aren't eye catching enough to pull in most people. That is really the TLDR. You just need to find your style and something that can pull in the average viewer.

your videos are not boring... I like how you do it and explain what you are doing as you go..

Good luck with the new job and your YT channel. I enjoy your content.

I hope your new boss isn't a tremendous asshole!

Don't put yourself down about your video quality, its always a slow start for a channel. You've given me the idea to start recording and seeing what happens. I've gone and subbed to your patreon, Good luck with the new position

I like your ideas, good luck with the new position.

hey sorry to hear about the job troubles! I am also laid off so I feel your pain. I actually studied to be an economist! as for UBI I am fairly sure its not a great idea. it sounds good, but the problem isnt the income or even how to pay for it. the problem comes in how the rest of the economy reacts to it. it tends to fuel inflation and increase prices, thus the need to increase the UBI, which becomes an endless cycle. I am 100% in favor of the flat tax you mentioned though, that would greatly spur the economy. there is one more misconception in your video, "the rich" do not pay less taxes. in actuality the top 2% income earners pay over 50% of the revenue generated by taxes.

UBI seems like could work But with our current Goverment and big Companys and rich people Lobbying (also known has legal bribing) the Goverment . I wish this could happen but imma be real it in all likelihood it wont .

nice video! just a tip with pumps. you only need pumps to go up. they provide headlift, or the max height the fluid can get to. pipes that are horizontal do not need any pumps. extra pumps do not make the fluid move faster, although they can prevent "sloshing" in the pipes.

6:40 that was Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 level drop in, Ollie, 180, grind combo. 100 pts.

Hope you're not running Crowdstrike on any of your machines!

Look at all you nerds up in these comments now. Love it!

What's the power of oil compared to the beauty of getting logistics juuuust right

So i think you want to switch your fuel production to petroleum coke for now, then you can burn your byproduct in coal generators to get a little extra power, you can also use it as a fuel for a truck station to have a tractor bring the rubber and plastic to your actual factory so you don't have to set up belts the entire way over.

Gotta hit shift while ziplining

nice video! im surprised that you want your lines to back up. if they are backed up it means you arent using everything the miner is producing. and yes, snapping on a splitter to the miner like that will resolve the issue. power towers are great with the zipline! extend out the tower, zipline over, extend again!

I just want to say pure Caterium is actually one of the best alt recipes. The map is massive and has a total of 16 nodes for it so late game it's not easy to just get more, and it helps to produce more with a very cheap resource

I kinda like the smaller setting, giving this is the start of the game, plus destructible voxel environment. I may have to check it out, Satisfactory just feels too clunky to my liking trying to finagle too large of things.

nice video! instead of guessing, you should look at the capacity of the belt, and machines and work from there. get exact numbers rather than guessing. also, when overclocking, instead of adjusting the % you can actually click on the per minute section and type in the exact per minute that you want to get. EDIT: the miner will always be limited by the belt speed, adding a splitter doesnt help because the bit of belt before the splitter still limits the speed. its part of a big community complaint, with a mk3 miner, and 250% overclocked, it is impossible to bring out all the ore fast enough. they have said there is a fix for this in 1.0 but havent said what it is. could be faster belts, could be a second output for the miner, could be something else.

I play a good bit of Slay the Spire and poison build is by far my favorite to run. Guess I should give this game a shot now!

Ive been playing this for a while and the Vamp + Poison is def infinite run strats. I hit floor 48 with that combo before goofing up and hitting myself with a reflected poison multiplier. Bargain STACKS that 5%. So if you can manage to stack 20 of them, you break the shops at 100% price reduction. Also, get rid of the large items. They hurt your ability to pick up stuff. If you pick up a double sword, or the dark sword, or giant sword, you are less likely to hold on to other smaller objects and they dont do enough damage to justify the loss of other items. The only way they are good in a build is with the double-first item use and single-item grab perks since you are more likely to grab those as a single or drop them first. Also, throw the Meli-bombs back at Melimon (end boss). They do 50 damage.

you must be superman to survive that huge fall off the cliff! I was hoping you had the ladder (from the ficsit shop) it's cheap and so easy to navigate vertical terrain easily. (doesn't support vehicles)

Well damnitall, I meant for this video to go live at NOON, not midnight.

Where are the marine detachment to deal with the hostile local fauna? It's slowing down the unobtanium acclimation!

entertaining video, the spiders are a massive pain. but there are more dangerous things..... just a quick tip. if you are at full health, you will never die from falling, it will always leave you with a sliver of health. EDIT: also dont forget you can put markers on the map to keep track of different nodes youve found and compare them.

Sorry about the job search, wishing you all the best. Alternatively become fork-lift certified and unstoppable!

nice video! personally, I like working around the limited size of the blueprint designer. the only 2 mods I think about using is one for elevators and then Satisfactory Plus..... do not try Sat Plus. your not ready yet lol. ya know, I dont think ive ever seen anyone use a tractor for general travel before. very interesting. FYI. 1.0 is announced for SEP 10th. you dont have to restart, but I would recommend it. I know I am restarting.

If you can upgrade to mark 2 miners and/or use power shards on the miners, you can easily double your coal production on the same nodes.

First floor should be a purpose-built habitat to keep the native animals contained and entertained. Second floor should be a race track for the factory cart.

just a tip for the editing. I know common youtube wisdom says to keep episodes around 30 minutes, but thats for general youtube average. I dont claim to speak for everyone, but I am fairly accustomed to 1 hour long videos for satisfactory.

Such factory, much optimization needed.

its interesting to see new people tackle these problems. everyone has their own way to do things, thats why this game is so amazing. ok manifolds... are not the same as modules. there are two systems for delivering resources to buildings, load balancing, and manifolds. you can make modular factories either way. both systems work fine. with load balancing, you split the belts to the point where the machine gets the exact correct resources it needs. with a manifold, you have a row of lets say smelters, and each one has its own splitter, and the resources fill up the smelters in line. so the first smelter gets a majority of the resources until it totally fills up, then the second one gets a majority, etc. as long as your numbers are correct, everything will balance out eventually. the disadvantage of a manifold is that it takes longer to "warm up" and get to 100% efficiency. with load balancing it warms up and gets to 100% almost immediately, but the disadvantage is the lines get more complex and take up far more space than a manifold.

enjoying the series so far! just a tip with power. instead of looking at your current power and trying to double/etc what you have. look at your fuel first. how much do you have. build a power plant that uses ALL of it. then you can breathe easy for a while. for example, with my first coal plant, I usually do 32 or so coal generators. this also has the advantage that you wont have to expand it later, which makes the build look disjointed. EDIT: I believe the ribbing on your generators is due to graphic settings. the detail goes down as you get further away. and stun rebar can be a lifesaver. they dont do any damage, but stopping some of the stronger enemies from attacking while you switch to a different weapon can be really strong. but still, use what you are comfortable with, combat isnt the focus of this game, dont expect anything too challenging.

the zipline is great actually. with ceiling power connectors you dont have to jump off. the truck uses fuel, and there are many places you cant get to with the truck. also with longer power connections they become better.

yeah the rock over the node is supposed to stop you from placing a miner... this is a bug I first saw in update 8. im sure it will be fixed for 1.0

BTW The strength potion does not do anything unless you have strength (little red sword near your health bar)

Is bootiful

you can use signs as lights. but you could also just turn off Lumen. its off by default, coffee stain has allowed us to turn it on, but they are not officially supporting it, likely because there are not enough lighting options and they didnt have time to make some before 1.0. Lumen looks amazing, but I keep it off for that reason. EDIT: thats a great place for a power plant. just FYI, that rock on the node is supposed to stop you from putting a miner on it.... so thats a bug lol.

This is an odd little duck of a game but it looks rather fun

What a neat concept. Definitely a unique spin on the deck builder

another good video! your probably past biomass burners by now but I have a tip. biomass burners only use fuel when they need to. so if you build extra biomass burners, then all of them burn slower. as an example I build a single plant as soon as I can with 24 biomass burners, and they burn very slowly. I only have to refill them a couple times before hitting coal. why 24? because 24 stacks of fuel fit in a container! EDIT: just a tip with the mergers and splitters. when you place them you can either place them over a belt, or on the ground. if you place them on the belt then they will merge correctly, if you accidentally place them on the ground, they wont be connected even though they look like it.

nice video! im not a fan of skipping the intro personally, but I can see why people do it.

WHY SO LONG?!? I'm actually quite happy with the length, think the 30-45min slot is good, makes it easy to fit it in during luncheon breaks.

Your factories are WAY less spaghetti and more organized than mine ever are even when I'm trying hard....

Man that's so frusterating to have it all set and then decides not to work, feel your pain.

'970 MW Maxconsumtion'. that's cute. it's about the power I covered with biomass burners until my 9900MW coal powerplant was running xd

There's something very satisfying about hopping on a moving NPC or an object in a game and taking a ride.
