@@dexnocturna2448 YES SAME!!
nah, Its fine, bacons consume power !
@@monad_tcp It is known.
Where are you from?
I spent over 2 hours watching this 16 minute video, and taking notes like I was studying for an exam. I didn't know 20 of things you listed!
Damn I'm making people work with my videos :D
Glad I could help, try to don't spoiler to much, because exploring on your own is part of the game :)
Good luck in your factory and have an awesome day
@@Trupen you're cute Trupen
just goes to show what a killer of a game this is
Hey David, did you pass the exam? Iâm studying currently
@@danadams2221 Yeah, I did finish the game. Then I installed mods and had to study all over again!
"did you do it?"
"yes..."
"what did it cost?"

Good to know that people likes my jokes, I was wondering if they aren't too stupid xd
Thanks for your comment and have a good day dude!
I liked the one about bacons
can't stop laughing when i heard fuck-torio at the start of the video
I've never think about this in THAT way.
But you got a point.
I wish youtube won't flag this video for "bad laungage" xd
A note about productivity modules; the effectivly increase the output for the same input so the 40% prouctivity bonus means you are producing 1.4 crafts per cycle. It does not reduce the cost of a rocket by 40% it reduces it by about 28.572%
yeah I've messed up math a bit :/
Upcoming maths teacher here. Definitely putting that as a problem in a test one day
at 100% it wouldn't be "reduce cost by 100%" but "reduce cost by 50%", right?
@@migueeeelet yes
@@3irikur why
Cliffs can be very helpful as they can't be destroyed by biters. Few turrets and walls on strategic places can save a lot of your military budget.

I just went over 5k but I don't know much I am at right now since I am working on a huge mega base and still building (300h thus far)
42/50 - 679 hours - sleep is overrated - great video xD
I think sleeping is some kind important, but what can I know, I'm just some dude from internet :)
Thanks for your comment and have a great day or night, looks like it doesn't matter
Thank you for teaching me how to save having to start over every time I wanted to play was such a pain
No problem, it was honor to serve you this knowledge :)
Finally after 1200 hours I finally know how to save
I've decided to start over after 40 hours of having a tiny factory with no real ability to grow. Now I'll just try and make everything huge, and these tips will be very useful. Thanks for the tips, I love this channel
Thanks and I hope your base will be huge and efficient this time :D
A good way to avoid getting killed by your trains are colored lights. Set up a train stop sign about a trainâs length away or so from a place you frequently cross the tracks and use a colored wire to connect it to a basic light. In the light settings, make them read âeverythingâ and select âcolorsâ for the output. Do this for each direction a train may come from and VoilĂ , you have a personal stop lights that tell you when a track is safe to cross
You can use gates and a circuit network to actually block yourself from stumbling onto the tracks when its coming
SO THAT'S HOW YOU DO THAT! Cheers man :D
730h.... sleeping, taking breaks? i don't understand
That's why I smuggled it in subconsciously in the video.
3:50 Unless you want to do the achievement that requires the player to craft less than 111 items manually throughout their playthrough.
You can build basic mining drills on coal fields in a circle so they feed themself... that way you can hold shift and lmb (i believe it was shift :D) to get all the acces coal from them
Wait isn't it in video?
I had to forgot to add this footage to the video xd
I think it's Ctrl
These train tips were super useful! Knowing that I could reserve item slots for specific items solved a huge problem in my factory. I only have 180 hours right now.
Glad I could help you :)
playtime is 90 hours. i've owned the game for about 2 weeks. this game is addictive.
It is indeed :D
Iâve been playing for 20 years and I think Factorio is the game I spent most time on. Iâm about 550 hours, and still Iâve only completed the game only once...
It goes pretty much like this :
- start building fast to get as many products and techs running ASAP
- try to tidy things up a bit
- produce more
- realize everythingâs a mess and your setup looks like shit (also you you need MORE RED CIRCUIT !!!)
- after 100 hours you decide itâll be too bothersome to just deconstruct already built stuff so you start a new game and you promise yourself youâll do it cleaner this time
- go back to step one
- no, still messy, start again

@@pogwater5366 yes, 20 years, i started playing videogames as a kid, iâm 35
@@r.c8756 and 80% of the time is just staring at the magnificent factory because it's way too satisfying to look at
Great now every time I mine a rock Iâm going to think âProtein!â
Knew 48/50 and have 1400+ hours in game. Great video!
Thanks, good luck in your game
9:36 It's actually helpful in a way that it can show that production of X is lower than consuption of it. Helped me on my TINS run to fix my mistakes before they become very apparent.
I think it's not so obvious in game reality, because when your buffer fills, production/consumption usually equalize: u can't produce more than you consume. Same with opposite situation: you can't consume more than you produce. Of course it helps sometimes, but it's not main method, because for me it's not much more obvious then just checking your factory with your own eyes.
12:00 you can use circuit signals to make the factory swear at you to get off the tracks.
Mechanism that nobody want and everybody need :D
I put gates with circuits and signals everywhere , trains just stop for me to pass. In some parts of the base, I put a latch, trains won't enter if I'm that part, all signals become red..
My way of crossing tracks is just destroying a piece of rail : every train passing there will instantly stop and will restart once you'll have replaced the rail
@@5cover That's such a manual solution
My way of crossing the rails is just crossing the rails, it's kinda fun playing it risky. Sometimes I like chilling on the tracks and move over when a train is about to hit me

Been playing for a week and there were five tips I hadn't heard - but the video was so entertaining I loved the whole thing.
Welcome to factorio man,
Good to know that my videos are helpful and entertaining, I'm trying to improve quality with every new video!
If you want to see my video focused full on entertaining there is a 2 minutes of all your pains in factorio (freshly uploaded ~4 hour ago)
czcams.com/video/2MnXgqCxMIg/video.html
I've started red circuit production and dear God I NEED more.
you always need more circuits :)
Tips 36. Has lowered my train related deaths by 90%, thanks!
Thanks for the video - 1.3k hours to date. The one I didn't know was the marking inventory spots for specific items, can't wait to try that out. Especially on trains when I am moving to a new base. That is awesome. Great Video.
I've learned a lot from blueprints I downloaded online. But that was after my 100h of playtime. You can always learn something new and blueprints are a really good way to learn new techniques
Yes you can, but I feel like first playthrough should be blueprints free to give new player a chance to make mistakes and explore on his own :D
Hey this was super comprehensive! A lot of beginner and general guides out there regardless of the game fail (time after time) to mention the smallest things like *looking at your minimap to avoid death-by-train*. Excellent work!
Reading the comments and watching your videos, I can't help but be amazed at how amazing the Factorio community is (I used a google translator)
I just started playing Factorio and stumbled onto your videos, what a happy accident! Your sense of humor is fantastic and your tips and tricks are SUPER helpful! Thank you very much for helping me efficiently alienate my friends and family!! Also, 50 better then 10 - definately!
I'm glad you enjoy my videos :D
1/50 were new, but very useful - inventory slots and train slots! i was going to build circuits for this for my next build and now i dont have to! thanks Trupen, been a fan for a long time! 1200hrs btw
Great video! I learned so much!
I already knew about the Alt labels, running while placing electric poles, and a few other basics that seem to be shared frequently. But you added a ton of insight, as well as many, many new tips and basics that I was not aware of. Being able to see it in your video was so helpful. You gave me some great new automation ideas that will save me a ton of time.
I hate math so I normally don't pay attention to ratios very much, but your explanation was very helpful and learning the basics made a lot more sense now. Thank you so much for your helpful videos!
I wouldn't want to remove cliffs, I feel its part of the challenge building around them
Many players played factorio without cliffs for most the time, because cliffs are quite new. This is why veterans feel cliffs are only annoying thing.
But you are right, some people might take is as additional challenge and build around them, everything is up to individual players :D
It would be good for a creative world, so you can test builds without having to destroy the cliffs yourself
Is it really tho? Once you research cliff explosives they're virtually absent anyway.
I just realised i suck in maths. I've Always been building green circuits with a 3x1 ratio instead of 3x2...
Fun fact, speedruners build in 1:1 ratio because it's easier and faster :)
Trupen my man, your videos are why I started playing and I'm glad you make such great videos that ease new players into this world!
Thank you that you appreciate my work put into videos
I've been playing factorio for about 60 hours, my brain has told me it feels bad for trying to figure things out on my own(( Thank you for this video! It makes me feel better
Shift 1-0 to change the top toolbar to that number. Shift-5, top tool bar will now be the 5th toolbar... So you can make a building one, a weapons one, etc, etc.
You are right, it's very useful shortcut :D
thanks that's probably the best tip here
Iâve played so much I already knew all of these tips, but your videos are great I would love to watch more! Entertaining and funny. Keep going!
Thank you
Trupen yeah. My channel too.
Btw, I was the guy on reddit who suggested you should remix the âcanât reachâ buzzer using Novation Launchpad.
@@Tetracarbon I know very little about music, so this type of video might be impossible to do for me, however I might give it a try.
And keep going with your channel, quality over quantity team :D
you take a really amount of time to make this. Appreciate that! Congrats!
Something tells me I'll be checking out this channel often in the near future.
I wish you like tips and tricks, because I'm slowly making another video in this type, but focused on biters this time.
Have a great day and thank you for your support
@@Trupen I absolutely do like tips and tricks, although I don't like biters - have them disabled for now lol. But I'll make sure to watch it for a future reference :)
Currently I'm gathering knowledge and courage on a non-biter world!
@@Peter_739 You can always turn off expansion and lower some evolution factor settings to make game adjusted for yourself. :)
I''ve been playing a while and learned quite a bit. MORE TIPS PLEASE
Hey man I have about 220 hours on factorio and knew 26 of those tips! Great video I definitely took some notes đ
Planet Citizens! Awesome! I loved your belt feeder for laboratories. I will use that one.
First tip... mind blown. I started a whole new world for that reason specifically lol
Hey Trupen.
4740 hours.
Love your vids and discord.
My biggest tip for beginners would be try not to forget where you left the car
40/50 tips I knew, one of which (inserters taking science across labs) I learned from watching you teach some guys how to play Factorio deathworld a few days ago. So prior to that, it would have been 39/50.
I have somewhere in the ballpark of perhaps 750-1000 hours in Factorio, across several 50+ hour games. My current game has 146 hours and I have only just reached yellow science. I like to take my time. :)
I love the way you say beginners. It's enchanting
I haven't played Factorio yet, but your videos are always entertaining to me. Yes I'm Subscribed! :D
A note for trains hitting you, train signals can be wired with a circuit to display the current status on the red, yellow and green signal. Use a program speaker and just tell it if the signal != green then to sound off.
oh i like this
just tested it, setting it to alarm on yellow and using the vibraphone actually makes it sound like a train crossing
this is gonna be useful once we replace our trains with supersonic trains
100 hours on steam, and I knew 10% of these. Very helpful, thank you! (especially for the command to disable biter nest expansion. I was getting sick if them spawning RIGHT NEXT TO my oil outposts)
Glad i could help you, biters expansion is very annoying and you can prevent them only by building huge wall, what is very time-consuming :)
the effort you put into this is amazing! thank you for all the tips
Thank you and thank you for watching :D
The colour of the Train at 12:10 is killing me hahahaha hilarious - keep the good work up man !
I liked your video, but just to point out, having 40% more productivity means you get 14 rockets parts for every 10, reducing the required components to 71.42%, you get this number by diving 100/1.4. So we could say you get a reduction in the required components by almost 30%, cheers.
Thanks, I know that I messed up some math there and unfortunately it can't be fixed, because youtube doesn't provide any editing tools for creators. So this mistake will be there for eternity...
I like your style and accent! Ty my friend, for the tips!
You're welcome :D
I watched this video a feww times already, but still learn something new everytime! Keep up the good work!!!
Awesome, thank you!
Great video quality. Just subbed glad you're working hard finding these things. the car trunk thing with dedicated storage absolutely, blew my mind and i have 400 hours LOL
Awesome, good that you find something useful in my video :D
amazing video for both beginners and some experienced players.
Thank you
11:32 +15% top speed with nuclear fuel (same as rocket fuel), not +115%
14:54 +40% productivity means the cost of a rocket is reduced by 2/7, not by 2/5
Yes I know, I've messed up some words and instead of saying "increase to 115%" I said "by"
However on rockets parts, there is nothing to explain. My math is just 100% wrong xd
Every time I start playing again, I wind up coming back to this video. Thanks for making it Trupen.
I LOVE factorio
As well as you trupen you helped me with my spaghetti megabase

Just over 500 hours, and I knew all of these
The image printer halfway through is freaking me out. I do not remember ever seeing anything like that before, but this predates my work and is quite similar, so I feel like I must have!
Pretty cool experience, if freaky.
Your imagine printer is way better, because you built it yourself unlike me...
@@Trupen Oh yes i absolutely do, haha
101 Hours on Factorio, it aint much, but its honest work.

2:48 ah yes
I think it's a good idea to surprise viewer in some way :D

Glad you enjoyed it!
600 hours, knew all tips, but it was a great video anyhow. Love your videos, I send them to my friends all the time. :)
My playtime is 8h 44min. I played the tutorial [All 5 parts] for 4.7hours. And then starts a free game with my friend who started playing with me and we spend like 3hours and 30 minutes. We are having electricity problems and we dont know how electricity works. We found out that we are making way less then we are using. So we wanted to expand our electricity ... eee.. electricity base.... the. ( boilers and steam farms) (( I dont remember the names xd)) So i searched some factorio beginners videos and Im watching xd.
0:29 do it
My brain underwent a factory reset so whether or not I had known these tips this video was useful and refreshing.
Knowledge gained.
Knowledge regained.
GAINS!
the pipe wall trick is a great idea for early game. never thought of that. Thanks :)
I myself prefer to just put more turrets, but I usually play with weak biters :)
another great video :seniorLove:
Thanks again!
50/50 487hours.. And that's only what I have on steam.. I guess I have a bit more than that lul
Great game
I think I need to make video with more advanced tips, because too many people knows too much about this game xd
Thanks for watching and good luck in your factory!
12:12 pfft. funny
thank you for the tips!
The science lab, steel ratio, & green chip ratio were the most helpful for me :)
So with counting, half of the tips I had zero idea about, 366 hours here. I was surprised by how easily approachable your teaching methods are that it's very definitive but not condescending in the slightest. Poor attitudes shown by some people who teach about the game gave me a bad taste in the mouth about listening to tips or advice, but you changed my mind about that. Much appreciated, cheers
Usefull time stamp :seniorpepe:
Timestamps are easy to make and allows you to find quick information.
You can open a description then press ctrl+f and find thing what you are looking for :)
400 hundred hours in, was expecting to know everything but I didn't know you could shit click in a train to make it move
it's quite new feature, like 1 year :)
Yeah I didn't realize you could send it to nearest station. I summon them to me but not station.
i knew about like 30 out of 50 - but still found them interesting :D well done and also - i feel like a noob with only 330 hours in factorio, keep them videos up - i love them

Prior to about a week ago, the farthest I had gotten in factorio was green science. No joke: after 400+ hours, I had never gotten past green. Since then I have gone all the way to purple and yellow science. Only space to go.
Why is that so? i dont find it terribly hard to develop? I dont mean to insult xou but what challenged you?
@@dooder9612 itâs not so much that it was difficult, because itâs really not, I just ended up getting a bit bored and busy, and never ended up putting the time in and going farther in the game
@@FireChee I cant see how could a person spend 400 hours and not get bored by not going over the green science ... xD i assume you continued the tutorial world? limiting yourself?
@@dooder9612 Partially but also just kept replaying and improving the start, and of course mods
Thanks for the green circuts layout. In my first world they was the largest pain to produce in enough quantities to constantly launch rockets.
Also here is the tip:
Your nuclear reactors eat fuel all the time, even when electricity are not produced and produce much less polution, than boilers. There's a relatively easy way to make priority fur nuclear energy before coal.
1. Completely separate your steam boilers from the main grid.
2. Create an electric switch, a red wire and accumulator.
3. Place and connect accumulator to main grid via REGULAR wire.
4. Place and connect switch to accumulator via RED wire.
5. In switch menu write A
I knew like maybe 40 of these, the middle click on inventorys BLEW MY MIND thank you so much! Ive been playing for about 600 Hours without that information >.
fist 1.0 vid, grats :D
I will be honest with you.
It was experimental version 0.18.47 but 100% of tips works in 1.0 :)
If you want to see new spiders there is a link to them: czcams.com/video/Z3KQGG_S9QI/video.html
about 12K hours in-game, i do not sleep
Wait, that's illegal.
How you i do not work brain
I bought Factorio about 4 or 5 days ago and I swear its like a drug. Ive been thinking about it non-stop even when Im playing other games.
this is why many people call it cractorio :)
I'm new to this game and this video helps me a lotâ€
Now I make factorys by myself instead downloading blue prints from the internet đ
50/50 3500h
300 hours, 9 of those tips were new to me. thank you!
100%. ez.
And a few tips from me:
1. If you have multiple factorio games, it's a good idea to organize save files by folders. To do so, open saves folder in the explorer, and create a subtree. Factorio will handle it.
2. If you have problems with biters, you could modify the game settings while creating the map and increase the number of grass tiles and trees - they are more effective in consuming pollution. Also trees-heavy maps would make it harder for biters to reach you. Just remember not to use any flamers here!
3. Since you have followed my advice and maxed out the number of trees in the map, try getting Spidertron faster - it can move through any trees!
4. After unlocking logistic robots, you can set up logistics requests to automatically remove trash from your inventory like ore, wood, or crafting materials by setting the requests max limit to 0. Robots will automatically transport any of these items to the yellow chests as long as you are within the range of network.
5. If you struggle with supplying the distant outposts, you should build a dedicated train station. The outpost counts the number of items in the network, and if it is less than specific amount, it enables the supply station. The supply train arrives and is unloaded until the specific threshold. Use filtering inserters together with the circuits to do so.
6. You can and should use circuits to do things! Enable/disable stations, disable boilers when accumulators are full, create sushi belts for labs, and more!
Such a nice video omg
I knew maybe a bit less than 50% of tips and have about 30-40 hours in factorio (mostly pre-1.0)
Thank you and good luck with your factory :D
