New to the channel? I do Let’s Play videos — these are like walkthrough guides of gameplay with continuous English commentary trying to explain my decisions and what strategy I use. If you’re looking for hacks or cheats, you’re in the wrong place!

Quill are you Italian because look at all that spaghetti.
I wouldnt even bother with doing the solar sails until later in the end game. Each sail provides very little, and you need constant stream of them going since they have a limited life span.
Your smelters still aren’t getting enough stone.
I recommend focusing tech on getting the Planetary Logistics System (comes after Logistics III). This will VASTLY simplify things for you, allowing you to transport goods from mines to refinery setups, and from refineries to factory setups, using drones. Multiple mines can feed a single refinery, and a single refinery can supply a dozen different factories. [edit: also, someone mentioned burning graphite below. If I've got my numbers right, Coal is 2.7Mj and Energized Graphite is 6.3Mj … 2 Coal refines into one EG, and the refiner only uses .36MW, so it's a net gain (don't ask me how :D). For my money, though, I'd prefer to set up a wind turbine factory and run a hex-pattern around the equator to generate my power without using up any resources.]
You could just fly to another planet and set up a silicon mine, and just carry an inventory load home. Would still be faster than the stone setup.
This game is like crack cocaine. I'm at the point where I'm putting stations on the gas giant to harvest fire ice and hydrogen to feed the machine. I've owned the game since just after release, and I already have 60 hours clocked on it.
Quill please reduce the music volume, it's too loud. Thanks!
Turning on god mode construction in the options may make your life easier.
you can use refined oil as fuel for thermal power plants.
it's more efficient than coal. burns slower.
and it's a dump for products from oil refineries (where you produce helium)
Hiya people who have played both games, it looks intrigueing, but what is the sellingpoint that makes me want to play this game when i already have factorio? Is it the same chocolate in a different wrapper or are there significant enough differences in gameplay experiences here?
Hey Quill, just incase you didn’t know, holding shift(?) to ignore “snapping” also works for rotating buildings.
Lol dont barder making silicon on the first planet . It just not worth it and you can already unlock space travel.
The music drowns out your voice sometimes
you can connect thermal power stations to each other using sorters
I think Quill has a hard time remembering that he can stack his buildings which I think would help a lot with scaling up production. This game seems to be all about thinking vertically.
Lol, poor Quill will never get to space.
It is really easy to fall into the trap of staying on the first planet though. But once you get it into your head to go interplanetary and have the interplanetary logistics it makes things oh so much easier.
the sound is totally borked on this whole series of videos, what a shame
If you want to do a lot of things automatically, you do end up needing a surprising amount of glass production.
If you hold shift you can rotate miners without being forced into 90 degrees increments. Also you need to mine 12 nodes to fill a mk 1 belt, so 2 6 node miners is perfect.
Ah classic quill, still calling iron plate/bars steel like you did in factorio years ago. Hehe 🙂
And I thought my early base was spaghetti…
conveyor comedy with quill18! a prism and a coil walk into a smelter…
When you press F, you can click on an Item to than mouse over the parts you need to create it. So you don't "need" to remember which item what icon has ^^
7:27 … That will be a rude awakening.
33:41 I wonder when he realised he could have gone to space ages ago. And it would have helped him. Not by a lot (not until he has unlocked [spoiler]) but a bit at least.
34:12 Also wonder when he will realise that he doesn't have harvest trees, and in fact can override them with any building, or even better foundation.
My whole planet is basically a parking lot now. Only reason I hesitate to complete it is, cause I fear I'll need more water, or accidentally delete a pump, and then I have no more water to plump one down.
37:08 I basically use bugger all sulfuric. One plant is more than enough to keep my whole system running, and even that is idle most of time.
Stupid job I need for stupid money to buy stupid food and pay for stupid shelter, keeping me from playing cool games all day and building dyson spheres. Stupid body with needs outside of games.
Getting those green plates will take all the stone. Like, all of it. It's so slow. Lotta smelters and lotta miners harvesting all the stone.
you know, its a big planet with a lot of ores and no enemies, there is nothing stopping us from just making dedicated bases all over the planet. like finding another source of stone and make an entire silicon production there instead of sharing it with glass production.
If you want to bus so much, you should do it like this: https://www.yekbot.com/dyson-sphere-program-main-bus-design/ But it's not so convenient here.
what happened to this series?
i miss you man. This series brought me back to you. and now im hungry for more. whaaaaa! ^_^
27:47 "What are we making?"
I ask my self this every 5 minutes when I'm playing this game.
