Autoforge 1 – WHEN TERRARIA MET FACTORIO, New 2D Factory Game!, First Look, Let’s Play

Greetings and welcome to Auto Forge I’m Katherine of sky and I’m so excited to be playing this game if you love factorio I think you’re going to love this this is kind of a weird mix of like Terraria and factorio in the same kind

Of game uh there is like the 2D up and down and sideways movement of Terraria where you got a jump it’s not the top down of factorio but we also have some enemies in here we’ve got lots and lots of factory haha it’s fantastic so um you

Might remember this um this is from Siege games and the artist uh or not the artist the developer lead Dev is Jason and I’m told there are several other people on the dev team though it is a small Dev team and right now it’s in Early Access um but I’m really excited

They created or he created Kaa back in the day oh my God I remember wanting to play Kaya on my channel like when I very first started out like 7 years ago I think it was that long ago but anyway this is their next game and it’s cool so

Let’s start a brand new game all right I I actually named my test game Skyland so we’ll just call it Sky maybe Kos Sky how about that how about that okay confirm this is basically the save file name that the game will will use for your your land

All right so we have oh my God we went out to the map so we start out as a a bot here we are a bot and that’s okay I’m trying to move to the sideways oh oh that feels so good yeah we we we were

Locked in place there oh my God so we’re going to Mouse over tutorial to so we have a very nice tutorial here here that introduces us to Core Concepts of the game here and we’re going to just do that we’re going to gather some biofuel from the mushrooms we’re going to gather

Rocks uh Stone from the Rocks we have wood down here there’s like Fallen trees not sure how that wood got down here I surely didn’t plant them trees um but we’re GNA try to kind of get stuff going here and uh create some different stuff uh because we’re going to make a factory

This is Believe It or Not the beginnings of our Factory now for the most part our Factory is going to be underground so this here look at this this is wood deposits we are going to harvest wood our mortal enemy from the ground ah there’s some more stuff over over there

Look at this what do we got over here this is iron ore over here all right so this area might be great for um doing our Mining and smelting operations okay now this may seem really strange to you if you’ve played factorio or Dyson Sphere program or kind of any others

That you kind of have this sort of top- down view I know that you know DSP you can you know swirl around and all that kind of stuff but yeah this is this feels different but if you treat it the same it’s actually kind of cool all right so we’re going to

Craft a forge uh which is under structures yeah we want to let’s do yeah let’s do five why not let’s do five um so then we grab the Forge from our inventory and put it down now I am you got to forgive me these man e is what is

E e is interact but tab is inventory maybe I should change that cuz it drives me absolutely crazy can I do inventory and interact in the same thing maybe if I’m careful if I’m careful let’s see uh tab can I change this e no not R not r

No E for inventory can we do that oh and it doesn’t erase the interact okay well we’ll see how that works uh okay so let’s grab our Forge no now e is not actually working e ain’t working all right so I’ll change it back to maybe it’s looking at the first priority

Thing I’ll put it back to tab maybe I should do art I don’t know I wish they were both the same like factorio that’s that was easy um but anyway there are a lot of other shortcuts that are the same as Factor because I think the devs know

That we all play this game or many of us do and it’s very nice to have this like muscle memory of stuff that you’re all already doing now we’re going to place this right under the iron deposit for reasons that will come become obvious shortly so we want to mine five iron

From the nearby deposit we right click on this to dig and we can see the iron or appearing in the lower left hand corner of the screen how many we have there so then craft five iron ingots you basically you just shove them in there

Uh you can shift click them which is a nice uh shortcut and you notice we need fuel very like factorio so we’ll shove this biofuel that we got from those mushrooms in there we’ll go ahead and grab a couple of other little items out here that we have now what is up with

All of this like weird pixelation here well that is because if we zoom out we are living here and we’re going to be able to see this map soon there’s a there’s a magical thing that we have but the next Square onto the right is not

Revealed yet so let’s get back oh what happened to us oh we died wow I’ve never had that happen to us ooh Discovery Cube oh okay that’s yeah we died so we have this Cube anyway all right so we got we need to harvest our ingots from the forge research basic extractions we

Press T hey no that that thing uh all right so basic extraction is this one uh we can also Q research was is fantastic um foundations I definitely want first and then I want to take let’s see that’s assemblers yes intermediate extraction yes uh basic Transportation yes all the

Things yes so what do we need for these Stone planks we need some Mana iron ingots that might be harder to get H Mana all right let’s get some more iron ore for this cuz we definitely need some of that uh let’s see craft two cranks now

This this I don’t know why they tell you to craft two cranks craft all these planks and craft uh the crank drill because all you need to do is Click click on the crank drill and you can do this uh why can’t we do this oh we have

No iron that’s why so let’s shove more iron into this uh furnace here and we’ll go ahead and grab a little bit more iron ore so what it’s teaching us to do here is to make an automatic drilling thing um so yeah that’s what we’re going to do

And we’re going to first start on our automation now if you’re familiar with Factoria what we are doing here is we are getting um it’s like it’s like before we have any conveyor belts okay so you just go to structures you click crank drill and it makes all these parts

For you you don’t need to worry about this except it does it all in one Fell Swoop it doesn’t like pre-craft all the gears and all that stuff um this is our research that we’re uh researching right now and we can also go up and explore

This area which is kind of nice I love this netting of of stuff there’s giant Stone here which is kind of cool come on harvest let’s go I want more Stone and then more of these you can also Harvest these guys if you don’t think you need them into biofuel and here we

Go let’s get that for now okay all right cool very cool and there’s no fall damage so you can freely do that as much as you want all right let’s go back into our inventory and and get the crank drill now this this game has a very unique mechanic look at this you

Actually crank the drill this is hilarious so initially we’re going to make a few of these crank drills and what it does is it feeds this thing now note there is a little green arrow here now that arrow is pointing down into the furnace and it is directly feeding this

Furnace okay uh that’s what it’s doing so what do we want from here Stone and planks so what do we have do we need we need planks okay so we go back to our crafting we’re going to craft a bunch of planks let’s craft like 30 of them cuz we’re

Going to need them for other stuff too um so there we go now this guy can output uh to various places and I want to make Let’s see we want to make a box let’s make three boxes actually let’s skip all these oh okay hold on one two

Three sure and then let’s do the rest into planks mhm all right so this is going to feed this thing now now we’re going to get to our conveyor belts soon they’re not called conveyors in this game they’re pipes I think but doesn’t matter here we have some more

Wood get some wood here so place a wood chest next to the forge oh see we already finished that entire other thing and I didn’t even see it actually happen uh to be honest but um now let’s see did we make we did make a chest here we go so let’s make

One here I’m also going to put another chest up here for random stuff because we’re going to get some other random things in our inventory soon enough um but for now look at this we’re getting iron ingots yay boom and then you can keep you can kind of refill the

Crank as you go um I want to make a couple more of these let’s make yeah I’ll make three of these sure all right so collect 10 iron iron ingots and then we need to find two void matter in a nearby chest I think that’s this one

Isn’t it yeah there we go we get two void batter and and six oil clots which is very useful because what I like to do is I like to make these CH uh torches torches are good I feel like they’re too expensive but you can be the judge of that that’s fine uh

Let me finish getting the iron ingots there we go that’s seven okay all right kind of top that up just a tiny bit here do we have any iron no we don’t we just have to wait for this thing to be done okay so then we expand apotheos

Emitter okay let’s take this all right so this is apotheosis emitter it’s a giant crystally thing okay uh and then we find out we are in this region hello so we can zoom out no I don’t know why it’s not working uh hello why why is it

Not showing it should show on the map I don’t know what’s going on all right so we’re here and we can expand in different ways in different directions so we have void matter that is needed for all of them okay and then repair tools to the right iron gears down metal

Plating to the left by the way these are random cuz I I when I had a uh my test game these were completely different items um and then silver ingots 320 to go up holy fuzzy cats anyway I’m oh there it goes there we see our map

Finally in map mode where we are in the world okay so we’re in the gigantic grid and we’re kind of in the center um so yeah that’s where we are look at this there’s a thing way down there we should probably explore that over there yeah

It’s like I think it’s a magical thing that we need to get so we’ll get there don’t worry it’ll be fine we will get there so explore nearby for an ancient Tech now there is one up here there’s a light bulb this is an ancient torch up

Here um also what I want to do is we want to okay let’s let get this wood and then I want to get um let’s see can we I want to get no no no come on come on brain do better brain so we’ll get a drill here

And I guess we can did we get the building Tech no we need Mana for that one let’s skip to the next one 20 iron ingots for a combustion drill okay uh let’s see where is it there it is there it is our scaffolding we need scaffolding

Scaffolding is amazing we want all the scaffolding we can get uh that is basically like Platforms in Terraria if you’re familiar they let you um build stuff and jump down to the floor below it’s very handy ah we are out of stuff so let’s give it some more biomap for

Now okay keep those fires burning let’s go so what we can do is go for this ancient Tech down here now there should be a couple of ancient techs near us um in my test game I found two near the entrance so let’s see if we can do

This now also we may find spots that have sparkles in them let’s see can I see any spots with sparkles on the main map here no you can’t really see them anyway they are visible they are very visible so how close is that thing it’s quite it’s going down there let’s go down

Here just kind of drop down a bit our little robot has quite quite the jump height so I’m not really that worried about jumping and all that kind of stuff let’s see where are we oh we still got to go way way down all right there we are we’re getting closer

Now let’s go dig through this and we’re here look at this okay all right we are actually here in a place we have a lot of vines here we’re going to harvest this okay and then we press e to collect and then we have an ancient Tech

Available to us which is great so now we upgrade at athos’s main frame now that’s this is the main frame here and we can only choose the center one which is kind of good okay grants the power of apoio boosting Health by four harvesting Power by 50% and crafting speed by 25% yes

Please I’ll take take it the next one I always take is carry in increases inventory space cuz you’ll find that this is not a lot of space it really isn’t uh in fact I’m going to drop off my soil in there uh what is this ancient

Brick I’ll put that in there that’s a block which we don’t need with us at the moment all right how you doing you are doing okay I’ll give you oh whoops you got to be cranked you are not the furnace furnace furnace needs biomass or wood now it eat wood uh

It wants iron ingots I forgot to pick those up and you you need all right we’re going to put these guys on number seven I think actually I should put them on two maybe no not two four four uh and then we’ll put on the torches on seven boxes on six uh

And the reason I’m putting them in this in this way is just because that’s how I had them in my test game so it’s easier so let’s put a um let’s see where are you outputting a drill let’s rotate that to down there so let’s put in a platform

Here and a box six over there okay and you are a crank drill oh God uh help okay there we go all right we’re going to we’re going to start harvesting this wood and it’s going to go into the box all right cool let’s see get some of

That biomass that sweet sweet biomass oh yeah all right crank this some more and hello there we go more iron ingots which is great navigate up and reach the surface of the world okay we can definitely do that so uh let’s see see I want to make a couple more boxes we

Don’t have enough I want to make a couple more TR crank drills as well as I do want to make some more torches oh wow we don’t have a lot of wood here but as we go up we’ll definitely get some of this stuff and it’ll be fine oh there’s

Our other ancient Tech cool let’s see if we need anything else from this let’s go down here and hello all right an there we go carry let’s go all right and we have to kill oil slimes now this is iffy over here let’s just make a platform to land on and then

We can just delete this above and then we have all kinds of other random stuff around here so what I usually do is is I’m not going to put a lot of the um torches down and the reason for that is I want to um save them for for instances where we

Need them I will explain as we go ah Sparkles so this is an instance where I like to put torches so what I’m going to do is I’m going to put in uh I’m going to put in put them in the air I usually put three t torches up here to say aha

We got stuff here so that’s a that’s kind of a convenient spot for wood deposit I like it uh later when we have more torches then we can actually kind of um you know get more but anyway right now we don’t have a lot of torches so

Let’s go ahead and we want to do a platform there and let’s get this rest of this stuff out here I want to figure out what this stuff is okay we’re digging Sandstone right now that’s interesting so what do we have behind the Sandstone o it’s a Sandstone mine it’s

Literally a Sandstone mine so let’s put in uh let’s just put in two here because we’re really running out of torches we still need to find Mana ooh these boxes had gears in them that’s tasty ah and there’s another one up here look at this okay uhhuh let’s just go here and

Let’s just go down here actually because if I dig this one the whole Vine is going to fall down so that wouldn’t be great all right uh this is looks like oh it’s Stone okay cool all right press seven and we got Stone nice fantastic uh okay so where

Are we let’s look at our map and we are kind of uh yeah I think we’ve reached to the far reach es of where oh no we didn’t check out this place did we I don’t remember if we did or not there is another deposit there maybe we should go

Down uh through this uh through this area to reach that I think that’s a good idea just make our own and here I like to just put the occasional um thingies cuz you can drop down if you press the down arrow or uh actually no it’s not down arrow It’s s

You press s you can uh drop down so here we can not quite jump up okay so if we do it one there and I’m going to take these off and instead I’m going to put in soil blocks here like this so I can align myself so I can line

Up with that platform all right where were we going we were going to go to oh no no no no no hold on thing NOP when I press map mode it’s not letting me like move the screen okay there we go so all right we need to go up here all right

Press M again oh not exactly what I wanted thank you uh okay let’s just do this the jumping distance is very generous I have to say it’s quite nice it feels very floaty and like you can get to anywhere no issue at all we are looking for this man we are

Looking for a Mana node by the way cuz one of those Technologies was a Mana thing so we really want to reach that at some point let’s see what we got over here this looks like this says iron ore so that’s cool all right so let’s put in

A couple torches here all right map where are we oh no map okay now it’s working why why does it keep doing this to me all right so we found that we should maybe we should just go up but I really want I want more

Oh we didn’t go down there yet oh yeah we did that was our corner of the world that we went through okay there’s one up here ah okay we can actually go kind of upward and find that one all right let’s go up this way wow that stone deposit is very chunky nice

Okay oh wow there’s a whole thing up here interesting is there anything in this okay it’s just a clay thing with a gear in it all right there’s a lot of biomass stuff down here which is nice for refueling our stuff by the way okay what is is this then this is

Going to be a Mana deposit ooh okay so we needed to get some Mana by the way so I want to dig a little bit of this out that’s 10 let’s go back to our Tech Tre and see what we needed for this so this thing we needed 10 Mana all right

So I’m going to put that back back in the queue um all right we also need what what is going on with this huh how come we’re overlaying this I think I’ve encountered a very interesting bug okay let me just screenshot this this is funny okay no

Worries though we’ll get that one next uh okay and we got to go back to get you know other stuff satisfied let’s just follow this tunnel oh hello hey look who we found cranos oh no did I fall asleep again thanks for waking me up brother who knows how long I was out

For it’s so dark in here all right I’ll give you a light here you go mhm ah light that’s much better okay if you’re looking for the common comms Network then you should explore the neighboring regions okay so that’s our Quest now we have a quest and I guess we’ll have to

Just remember because we have no more materials for making torches we need those uh oil thingy thingies for making those all right so let’s go up as high as we can I think this is our highest peak where are we yeah we’re up here so there are enemies on the surface so we

Want to dig kind of up here let’s get out off here and just dig all right so I will just dig this all right so we’re on the surface now um I just basically dug up here and it’s cool oh is that a jar maybe

Dig okay it was a bar I got an iron bar nice I’ll dig them all up what the heck might as well oh I got some a torch yay okay let’s dig some of this to give ourselves some clearance now we can press V to go into combat mode now you

Can combat plants as well as these enemies which is good nice these usually result in oil clots okay so we need to destroy an oil slime spawner now I’m not sure of the wisdom of doing that because I really do want to like kill more slime so I get more oil

Because I feel like torches are a very very scarce commodity okay so we do have another spawner there which is nice okay there we go good whacking sounds also picking up stuff as way way too slow all right there we go now that enables us to make more

Torches eight nice okay I’ll I’ll build those that’s for sure okay and I’m going to leave that other spawner just for I literally just for oh hello what is this resin okay fun but yeah this will kill the biomass and we can uh let’s see V let’s go ahead

And get this thing we can Harvest these different trees and things and those give us seeds which we can later plant and do stuff with them okay there we go let’s go and get these okay going back all right so we need to expand oh discover an

Expansive I mean we did already discover those though all right good so that’s given us quite a lot of slime here which is nice uh oh my God we have 41 torches that’s fantastic that is very cool all right that’s given us a little bit of bons Sab sapling okay as well as

Wood lots of wood we’re getting from this I’m just using the sword here because it’s easier than getting out you know and switching we’ll go ahead and kill this spawner oh my God this is like a double spawner I probably shouldn’t have killed that but but they do have

This void stuff which is kind of fantastic we need the void stuff void particles or whatever the heck it is there we go void matter it’s called all right hello all right time to cut the grass here yo we’re just picking up this biomass cuz it’s very tasty for our machines

That want to eat fuel all right we’re getting some stuff we need more iron gears for this though all right let’s go back down all the way back home now I don’t know if like if we go back into unv mode okay there’s our Stone deposit right so now I want to go

Around we need to go and look at these various deposits here’s wood okay we got the wood according to the thing uh and is this ore this is iron ore yeah okay so we got all the things now then I want to go back to our um

Where do you call it ah it’s up here it’s right there oh my God you can’t press escape to get out of map mode so that’s like oh God come on all right so let’s see we want to put seven to get our torches to Mark the uh Mark the node

And then uh can we craft another couple of drills we can I want to get did we discover silver yet so we need one for Mana maybe one for silver and maybe one for stone yeah I think we need all those and then I’ll I’ll craft all these boxes as well so

Those we can actually get going and build some actual structures here that would be quite nice of course these get fueled with cranking but we’re basically going to chip them into a box so let’s see let’s go back to our inventory I’ll put these like on five sure why not um actually let’s

Do two of these that means I need to make another one ah we can’t ah okay it’s fine it doesn’t matter we’ll put them both this way and I’m going to crank them both they have an internal storage that is quite quite a large capacity so this works qu kind of well

Uh so basically when we come by and um pick up the material we’ll have two to pick up from instead of just one drill come on get going all right there we go so where is the other thing this is iron ore okay and then this is our wood and then where

Is that’s Stone right I think that’s Stone all right let’s go over there cuz we have silver as well and it’s can be difficult to find okay now this is sandstone not regular Stone okay let’s go and where did I put that stone where is

It so for some reason even though I went into bat mode I can’t move the map it’s not working h that I think that must be a bug or something that just doesn’t work well is it up here ah that there’s that’s where it is okay let’s

M press M to get out of map mode uh I made a suggestion to add uh enter for that or I mean Escape for that that’s kind of needed all right I want to add a um a minor here so let’s press five put ourselves a miner above the Box

Uh six okay you go here we don’t need a lot of stone initially but it is Handy to have some to make furnaces and what not out of so let’s go ahead and crank this one in there I’m having all kinds of weird uh this should not be like this

Something has gone way wrong here okay sorry oh no things are things are happening that are very strange oh dear you know what let me just save and restart okay so there was actually no problem I just accidentally entered debug mode so that’s what what all those

Little crazy boxes and things were it was just debug mode all right let me just add a sort of ladder up this way let’s see four hello there we go and then we’ll have like a we need an alignment thing probably on this side actually it works I think maybe

We’ll see we’ll see anyway all right so let’s crank our our cranky things some more so we can get some more production here going um and we can take out the wood from the wood chest it makes about 20 23 2223 items uh in fact let’s crank this first

This has a lot of iron ore built up because the furnace ran out of juice so let’s just give that a bunch of biofuel and there’s nothing in the chest that’s fine so let’s go here and put in all the random stuff that we can’t do anything

With right now let’s put in the oil clots we have tons of torches right now we’ll put in the void matter uh that is going to be used for expanding but we don’t have the rest of the stuff yet we got bricks uh ancient bricks that’s fine

Soil we can always Chuck in there Mana will keep Health containers I’ll put in there we don’t need them yet sand iron or can go in the thingy mingy resin we can chuck in we want to keep our inventory as clean as possible because believe me you’ll have stuff in there do

Not worry uh okay so we’re getting basic Transportation going so we need 10 iron gears we are 50% done so that means that we just need five more which is going to craft these five o convenient okay that is very convenient all right and we can also start making the better combustion

Drills we really want these things believe believe me we definitely want to make some of those because those you don’t have to crank those are uncr you feed them with uh material as in fuel and they go I like this going part of it okay let’s see can we ah we more you

Know what I would love to see is like to have like factorio has like how many of each base material like five uh five iron ingots three whatever pieces of wood whatever it needs I would love to see that listed somewhere on this thing still looks like we need some iron gears

So let’s keep on making iron so let’s see Iron gears how much are they are they expensive two iron ingots each so this thing probably costs let’s see 8 + three plus a forge uh that’s several I think we can make another one now though fantastic but we do need to get

This basic transportation going uh it is researching but it’s a bit slow it just takes a while that’s all let’s go ahead and crank this thing this is our wood output we’re going to be relying on wood for a while for um fueling our furnaces and stuff all right

And we want to actually get this area prepared because right now it ain’t I want to kind of do uh we want to do a false floor here and you will see what I’m doing in a second let’s go for we want to make this the new floor

Level and here we’re going to have space to put stuff and things now we can’t mine underneath those or undermine the foundations see what I did there uh I do love word origins it’s good stuff ah all right and here go away we can actually take away all this soil here okay and

Then put in these guys here okay so now we’re going to crank this one up a little bit more and soon we shall have our combustion drills on our hands let’s go and put these maybe in there um and we’re hopefully we’ll get these guys soon why is this not making

Hello dude did it oh I wonder if those things used the gears we had that might be a thing actually all right um so we’re going to actually let’s delete these items real quick so that we can remove these and put platforms and the reason we’re putting the platforms will

Become obvious quite shortly uh we’ll put that Forge back into place right now and get a box which six okay yes good good input some things and stuff yes good good good all right and also I did we have some iron ore yeah we did we had some from over there all right

Excellent so I’m going to keep cranking this guy over here did we we already got our combustion drill all right so we don’t need to keep cranking this at all we’re going to delete that and we’re going to put in a combustion drill right here we could put in two but I don’t

Think we need to it’s pretty good on its own so we’re going to we’re going to do this and we’re going to start making we really need that get give us the oh wait did we already have the thing we already have look at this we have transport

Tubes so let’s go get some iron ingots come on let’s go and with those iron ingots let’s make transport tubes here it yields three per recipe I kind of wish that was at the top like transport tube time three um I think that would be

Uh I don’t know easier to to see but that’s okay we’re just we’re thinking about stuff possible improvements um anyway this thing is quite tall at first I was like hey I should go over the top of it and then I’m like no I shouldn’t I should just go underneath it

Why not why not go underneath this so much easier so much shorter in terms of pipes terms of Transport tubes we are using tubes to transport our stuff which is great let’s go under here I to check and make sure I was recording I was like oh my god did I did

I pause the thing I’m like no I didn’t I didn’t it’s fine why oh that’s because we need gears for that of course we do yes that’s expensive so anyway we’re going to get transport tubes we’re also going to get Splitters we’re going to make some of those so let’s put in uh

These oh God that was expensive okay we also have what we would call in factorio underground these basically crossover things if you’re familiar with uh oxygen not included it’s that kind of a thing um I am going to H I kind of want this to run here

And so I’m just going to take apart all this stuff here and just go straight across all the way so that we are very consistent in our Factory all right there we go and let’s go back now pipes kind of go along the wall you don’t really have to do much to

To avoid them let’s get those guys I also want to see uh distiller folder all right we want to place transport tubes to be collected from ooh what happened here this is interesting uh now I didn’t press F1 yo this I didn’t do this I think I had because I had to go

To 640 resolution to put it on my big monitor I think it remembered that all right I want to figure out uh I really want those underf flowy underground these where are those Mana bullets turrets no I know it’s not over here did we get the underground these maybe we

Did already are they here scaffolding ladder bricks not there huh oh it is bypass jeez okay I’m just brainless apparently all right and then we want to get the matter refiner after that and then the conduit tapping okay so here this is kind of the gateway to the new research which is Essence

Folding we’re going to get a distiller and a folder after that you’ll notice the required materials is mechanical Essence which is basically a crank and a gear and this everything after needs mechanical Essence afterwards cuz here we need 20 cranks and 20 gears to get this new

Technology um so yeah that’s that’s what we need anyway uh uhhuh let’s crank this crank crank crank crank crank let’s go all right and now I need to to get um we need to get more tubes okay made those are needed so but we can start kind of

Building this uh line here okay and that’s all we have sort of but you will be delighted that we do have shortcut keys like Q to pick up the item that you want perfect so now all right so the way machines work is kind of funny so if you

See those Yellow Boxes around the machine that is the uh area of pickup or what do they call it collection range now I can’t move this window uh interestingly but you’ll have to bear with me anyway if you click this is a button I didn’t know this at first

This means when you have the arrows like this this means that you can only collect if a pipe is direct directly into the machine as in see how this one’s directed out we would need ones directed in but we’re not going to do that for the combustion drill oh no no

No we’re going to do this now these empty squares mean that the drill can pick up from anything so when this thing produces wood it’s going to grab from this very first tile and eat it because that’s the way it works okay so let’s

Put in one energy and I want to show you how this is going to work so it’s going to make uh wood uh and then it’s going to Output this wood it should output the wood hello why is it not outputting it’s must be outputting the wood hello oh no it’s

Eating it already it’s look at it it’s already eating it okay So eventually this is going to Output onto this line when it finishes its fill of wood um and then we can get some into these machines so let’s take this out and press C and make a whole bunch

More of these transport tubes now the other thingy is over here I don’t understand why these are like maybe it’s because they have different speeds or something maybe it’s we’re looking for you know red and blue uh transport belts and that kind of thing anyway you can

See the wood already here this is exciting so what I want to do is if we have furnaces here I don’t think we actually want to have furnaces here I think we want to delete this and I think we want to put in an automatic um drill here that

Is like this okay it can still reach everywhere but we’re going to have a tube going that way so my idea is to put the wood in between this and we’re going to put some more furnaces down because why not we can have multiple of them and we’re going to delete this box

For now and actually I want to delete this thing and oh oh that was not the best idea iron gear and Forge I need iron gear and forges uh I think I ran out of stone actually let’s pick up one of the forges and that can be our

Forge uh do we have enough stuff no we still need four iron gears crap okay let’s get this thing and we’ll move it over let’s just move it over let’s move it there so we can have two of these serving the same line all right now bear

With me here we need to also get a bypass we need one bypass and otherwise we’re going to get this law this log line up here and these guys I’m going to change these to a smaller range but I want to change it to the auto eat range

You know let’s go let’s Auto eat from this thing this is kind of an interesting concept at first I was like what’s going on here and then I it was explained I was like oh okay I see now then we do need um to we need to feed these guys

With iron ore okay which I don’t have at the moment um because I really need more tubes oh I’m out of tubes this is terrible God help okay you please okay you and you can have this thank you very much you I need that thank you very much

Okay and we’re doing the or juggling game here but this is now fueled with combustion which is kind of great because now it’s going to produce a whole bunch of stuff uh automatically with wood wood power all right so now what I’m going to do oh whoops I messed

That up all right I want to take this over here uh and this is producing ore in the pipe as you see okay all right let’s grab these bits here and press see and get more pipes did I get the I did I get the bypass good and Splitters can go

On number three as I usually have all of these things Perfect all right so we’re going to take this downward and get our bypass and you go there I think ah maybe here we’re going to put this here and then actually we’re going to make these bigger going to make the collection area

Bigger okay there we go like this okay okay we just need a tiny bit more help uh all right you no do I have any iron ore I don’t have any iron ore I’m going to pick up this iron ore can you imagine I wish there

Was a way like to to yeah pick it up but I don’t know of a way to pick it up anyway we just need a few more tubes and we’ll have automatic stuff very automatic soon soon I promise soon uh oopsies hello you didn’t get any Oh I

Thought I gave it to you all right um see yes one more should do it at least for one furnace at least okay come on come on make make good now both of them can win all right so now now both of them are producing stuff and things right we are

Getting the ore coming in through here and they are both producing uh now we need to take it out of these furnaces or put it on a line somewhere uh so we can get the new stuff made now what we need to get here we also need to get

Assemblers now that is a new thing we’re going to have to go back up and get some Mana uh but all right here we go all right so what we want to do is let’s make some more of these uh before we go and get some Mana actually you know what

Let’s let that process happen let’s let it keep on going for a while we can go and pick up the Mana on our own here if I can remember where it is I think it’s uh this is the land of no Mana but we can fix this

By adding a oh wow you can drill very far okay cool uh let’s just jump up here hello all right good that’s the way I like it all right excellent so this is this is our Mana Farm remember that we made earlier and we want to we can crank all

This again now you can put a box to collect this or you can just pick it up I find that I I might as well just pick it up there’s no reason to have tubes and a box because it doesn’t overflow it just doesn’t overflow so we don’t really

Need that whole thing oh we had Mana whoops okay it’s fine don’t worry we have enough oh wait wait that’s a rock there I want a rock I want Rock yo oh my God this is hard um we need see do we have uh not this this one we do have

Soil okay so let’s align there oh no no no no hold on we need two pieces of soil because otherwise we tend to run up up the soil all right I just wanted to get this rock all right good so we can make a furnace we had 90 rock what oh okay

That’s interesting didn’t realize that sorry sorry but let’s press C and make a few more furnaces okay and now let’s take a tube this way and that is going to give us our iron ingots now I’m going to collect more of these let’s give this more iron

Just to empty our inventory and now we have some actually going places um so now we’re tell talking to place scaffolding over the top of a transport tube and put it over a structure okay why I I don’t understand why we need to do this I guess they’re just telling us

We can okay so that’s one of the things here we can do this over here we don’t really care so I’m just going to take it off and take that one off as well all right so place down an assembler and a crank generator and power the assembler

With a crank relay all right so before we do that though I’d rather get another combustion drill going all right so you give me this you give me that and I’m GNA hope and pray that it’s enough to build another crank generator okay there we

Go uh we are still making some uh those things all right and we’re doing this yay uh let me go and put some stuff in here cuz we don’t need some of this stuff all right good good all right I want to make another bypass grab some more of this now we can

Put this into a box by the way that is a possibility but I just kind of want to do things in a way that makes sense here let me get also actually one thing that would make sense is if we put in um the wood into a box now right now and

I have asked for this to be uh changed you can put a uh oh we actually need a platform over an over a tube we’ll put a box in here so we’re going to uh just collect some hello hello I just want to interact thank you

I I was clicking like in factorio all right let’s just limit that to two slots look at this more factorio technology I don’t we don’t get the control or shift click unfortunately I would love to have that but that’s not a thing yet um I want to build some more of these guys

And then we can also make some ladders these are very useful for traversing places you don’t have to do the jump up thing uh but you can do kind of whatever you want in that way so it looks like they only hold five each I really do

Need to get a a box instead I think for these guys let’s just make some more tubes and that will enable us to get other things all right so wow it takes forever to make those let’s just click those off okay you can right click to click them off and then

Let’s go back here and then just make a few more and then make some of these okay that seems good um yeah they do have a very small chunk these guys instead can hold a whole bunch so let’s make another combustion drill here and we’re going to put you to go upward and

Then I want to put down some more furnaces cuz I feel like we can definitely improve this assembly line here I don’t know how many Let’s see we can actually look these are 15 per minute and these do 10 per minute oh my God okay so let’s see these are a two to

Three right so if we have 30 per minute h we need three of these all right so we have way too many all right let’s do this okay and then we’re going to adjust we don’t need to adjust this this that’s fine okay and uh we’re getting wood very

Slowly hello what’s going on guy how you doing all right oh I think because we ate a lot into the box so not a lot went there I think we’ll change this to Output priority right right and then any excess can go into the box I think

That’s a better idea okay so there we go let’s get these we are still making iron ingots it’s just a bit slow at the moment um all right so then we need to think about where do we put our next assembly line now I think we can do it

Kind of above this situation up here why not so let’s take this uh and extend it a little bit all right let’s get more of these tubes we need more I am going to go ahead and put in a just another level here so it’s

Easy so just so it’s easy you know so we can kind of move around a little bit better let’s get rid of this one no dude I didn’t want to do that okay come on wood okay so now um we want to think about what we got over here

What we want to do over here uh cannot dig go away lamp you can be elsewhere wonder if I get that lamp back it was nice for light it was nice for light let’s see can I do that thank you I almost fell through that was

Terrible uh here it is ancient torch yep we can do that oh sure okay it I didn’t know it was floating I thought it was like on top of stuff um actually let’s put it over here we can put it uh maybe here oh okay that was unsuccessful that was unsuccessful all

Right now we need to make assemblers now those everything in this game has a lot to do with iron so we have a lot of iron items that we need to make um I’m thinking I just put stuff into a box I I kind of like I’m dreading it but I

Should just Chuck it into a box just Chuck it in it’s fine there we go that’s much easier than grabbing from each machine much easier and that means I can also start uh getting these guys but I don’t want to I really want to do a uh make a

Proper assembler here we need two assemblers we need one assembler to make uh cranks and one assembler to make gears okay we are also going to need some power relays I’ll just just do all of those at once and then let’s go ahead and get this iron we don’t want to run

Out of iron so these guys I don’t know what’s oh why is that one going there that’s not good they were rotated wrong oh no sad times okay that’s why they weren’t producing very well all right now we know though now we got it sorted good good now the important thing to

Note is that chests you notice they have these arrows you cannot change those arrows there is a special item to with draw stuff from chests so that is not uh a thing that you can just hey let’s plunk it down and put biomass into the system with the

Logs nope can’t do that sorry not a thing that can be done until later now there is a tech for this uh it’s over here somewhere it’s called porter porter I don’t know why it’s called porter I think it’s a not a great name should be called cheex chest uh chest exitor chest

Extruder chest something because it’s only to do with chests as far as I understand it so anyway let’s see let’s get some more 25 ingots dang I feel rich it’s fantastic uh all right let’s get we need a crank generator or two make two and another assembler and then that

Means we can do stuff so we need two things so the cranks let’s just look at the materials that we need for these different items so gears take two iron ingots and cranks take one iron ingot and two planks uh and this takes 2 seconds to craft this takes two seconds

To craft so we need a plank maker for the crank now I think we can just make a plank maker so that means we need another assembler actually um and we need to go back and get some more iron NOP excuse me thank you let’s make two

Might as well all right um so let’s start out with with what we’re going to do here I want to now these are going to be electrical machines so they do not need power from wood that is pretty important to note in this case Okay so

Let’s do a machine here this is going to be the wood maker I think and that means we’re going to also change this to do something else uh we need to have a splitter here I think something like this and we’re going to change the priority on this to

Be nonprioritized so that we can get this guy making planks okay so now we also need to figure out how we want to do the electricity now I recommend you just put in a couple of crank generators uh here so let’s see we can press this key and get in our crank

Generators oh they why is that not fitting there that’s weird okay I’ll take it off see if we can put the crank generator press for oh it’s taller no it can’t have it doesn’t like okay okay we’ll give you your space it’s fine see it’s throwing

Fits on me now all right now these guys have a little red dot here and that’s kind of like an electricity connection point so what we’ve made to connect these things are these power relays so you see when you put one in it kind of has connections to all of those with

Little these purple strings but what I’m going to do is I’m going to put it over here to have maximum coverage of machines okay so what we’re going to do here though is we need to crank these guys you’re familiar with this procedure already I hope there we go we are

Cranking it and the reason for two is just so we have to crank it less often so two machines will provide the power and they won’t run down as fast okay so there we go so now this thing is making wood now we want this to point to the

Right that’s correct so one thing that’s cool is when you place this down it’s going to automatically copy the recipe I love that this is better than factorio but this one we want this to make the crank okay that is what that one is making uh um oh jeez I should have put

These one up I think um because I really want to get the iron up in here actually the iron can go above this I think the iron can go above so we’re going to have this output go up um and we want our iron probably to be

Here let’s make the iron here okay uh no no no no we can’t do that can’t do that uh well actually maybe we can if we go and um I kind of want to make it I want to make it in range the iron um but it

Has to be on the next level I think like here but we need to move this guy cuz that guy is now in the way so let’s move that to be like here yeah that seems okay all right cool so now we have a situation here where we

Need to put in the splitter here now we might add more of these uh machines soon so don’t don’t despair of that so oh that’s not what I wanted okay there we go Okay cool so now these are getting iron now this crank is going to get the iron from here and now

I’m going to put in a gear machine okay this one is going to be making gears and both of these can grab iron because of this kind of interesting uh thing we got going on here I’m going to put in some platforms on top of this go trim these

Vines nice okay and then we can can’t dig supporting structure really uh oh we got the stalagmites okay cool it’s rocks fantastic so now we are going to learn how to make the folder and stuff and things but we’re going to get some cranks and some gears

First and those are going to be here Essence folding all right so let’s just pick them out of the machine pick these out of the machine good good and we’ll probably get a two here one of these little uh crossy under things let’s get another one actually we need

More and more of those but let’s open the box and get a whole bunch there we go let’s make like that many is that enough I don’t even know if that’s enough probably it’s not enough It’s never enough okay let’s see we also want to make sure that we are oh we’re

Contaminating this tube terribly oh my God okay that was bad so now we have I don’t know if there’s a way to like uh oh oh okay hold on uhhuh all right I know one is like stuck in here somewhere oh there it is okay there that’s better that’s

Better so you are out of fuel all right so it looks like our our log uh maker is not actually working up to par here so are you good no let’s find out what’s going on and if we can maybe make another yeah we certainly can let’s see if we can let’s

Make another uh combustion drill and then we definitely need this we need more cranks and more gears I think I can help this process by just like one two one two that’s 10 each and then another yeah that many all right are we done making these yeah I think we are let’s see

C not C tab okay combustion drill here we go it’s a very small wood deposit so it’s not great um but we’re going to try okay all right I’m going to give you some biomass here take all the stuff there you go so those guys are going to make wood

So now these are going to go upward and they are going to go into different machines that are going to make science for us um yeah what we can do is actually just maybe put these together let’s see if we make some more transport tubes hooray so this is going

To get our science going I hope go pick up some of these here let’s pick up the things and the stuff yeah these should get going I think I hope come on guys oh this is wrong something is wrong here oh no okay there we go okay something went

Very wrong there I’m not really sure what happened you take that you take that you take that okay now we are producing again yay grab these three gears again I don’t know if we need like more cranks or what I wish this thing told us like how many

You need how many more you need you know that would be super useful so yay come on so over time this is going to get filled and this one is going to get the rest so it’s going to get filled with what three three gears I think and then

It’s going to you know take as much input as it will hold and then the other one is going to get all of the materials so it’s not something we need to really worry about too much uh so let’s see oh no it’s making more gears oh dear okay hello how many

Are you going to hold I think it holds five is that right maybe five I don’t know I don’t know I hope so but anyway let’s let’s make these tubes here and then we can actually you know what we could do we could just do this okay and then oh it’s going to

Output more now oh no well what we can do there is an easy way to fix this uh so if we go in here and say e we can do collection range only take what’s given to you so if we do a this like a splitter that’s going

To split stuff and it will ensure that uh it only takes what gets into the split and everything else is going to go to this machine I’m going to go ahead and take make this a little bit shorter so that it uh yeah so there we go that’s

Good so we don’t have wasted pieces it’s always nice and there we are actually getting cranks out of this stuff let’s go ahead and delete those so we can just grab them into our inventory and that’s a little bit more fair for the machines I feel all right we’re still getting

Getting quite a lot through here um and I think that’s probably eating a lot of our production so now we can make the the new things can yeah we can now okay we can make a folder and a distiller but we need silver ingots and Mana fibers and this

Is going to Usher us into automatic stuff uh basically Labs like you would see in factorio so uh but unfortunately we don’t know where any of that silver is so I need to investigate this I’ll probably do that off camera and oh that’s nice um so that you don’t have to

Suffer through me like looking through all of this place because uh we have been through some of it already and we haven’t found it wait why what is going on here okay there we go four yes okay uh but then we’re going to want to put our science machines up here and make

That a nice cozy place for our assembly lines so but for now this video is getting way way long so I am going to have to say if you enjoyed the video do please click that like button I really hate to ask but it so helps us so so

Much it really makes the difference on the channel and um I’m excited about this game I hope you’ll check it out because so far I’ve been having a lot of fun with it it’s really cool and if you think about it in factorio terms like just imagine you’re doing stuff top down

Um and it’s easy and make sure you use uh these uh different um collection ranges to your advantage CU that’s a really unique feature of the game and it really helps you know move stuff along anyway uh if you haven’t subscribed do check out the subscription button uh it

Is very helpful for being notified of new videos and I look forward to seeing you in the next episode so thank you so very much for joining me take care of yourselves and each other and I’ll see you next time h

  1. great video! ive been enjoying this one quite a bit. ive not played factorio so some of the controls werent as intuitive, but you taught me things like limiting chests and the toggle for the collection range, makes more sense now!

  2. Well, thanks for this. This seems like a perfect little game to round off my holiday from work… back in a couple days. I spent the last weeks in the depths of a factorio binge. Finally launched a fucking rocket after like 350 hours (not in the same file), but now i'm close to the end i wanna play more but I feel like I dont have time, and this seems like exactly what I was looking for. More Factorio but casual…

    First rocket launched in a spaghetti base and genuinely i had so much fun making that. The goal was just to launch a rocket by any means so any time I needed something I just fit in somehow… that factory is a mess but it works. It looks like something from the title screen. I love it. 35 hours it took, but then the spaghetti hit it's natural limit since it's not really fit for expanding,…
    Then i figured I could do better and did a main bus and launched in 22 hours! And actually that was delayed cos I chose to forgo the rocket silo in favour of some bot and military research to make the end a bit smoother.

  3. Looks really fun, wouldn't mind a YouTube mode as their compression darkens everything and makes it harder to see things in the game.

    Edit: it's better on the surface but underground is rough to see at times.
