I'm just cracking up thinking about a certain Aussie creator getting smashed on their deathworld while their chatty older child laughed the whole time :D. Yes please play a "deathworld" attempt!
Oh don't worry he's gunna have to REAALLY fight to get to Blue science. Have to really manage those first 2 waves with exact mining and fuel chamber management from what I've seen.
Thats been my experience too. Blue Science is easy enough to have and is necessary to get early, but expansion with a mall is no easy task to defend with the constant waves. Setting up auto ammo is priority 1 and constant turrent crafting is number 2, combined with wind turbines to power the whole thing. @@HelicopterShark
You know it would be interesting to add battlefield analysis towers to the planetary blueprint. Set it up so each one can build the next one in the chain and the whole blueprint just builds itself.
A self assembling world blueprint sounds amazing. And if you integrate them well they also help build the later blueprints. Just need to watch out for ore patches and oceans breaking up the blueprint
@@AbsoluteHuman I'm suprised there isn't really a good way to fully foundation an entire planet other than manually placing it. Without such foundation blueprints you also can not make indication tiles on where to place ILS or PLS on the zones for optimal spacing.
Max difficulty is pretty rough in the beginning, but super satisfying once you get stable. It doesnt have to be full max settings, but on normal you can pretty much forget they exist.
@@joshuarogalsky8379 They stop growing once the waves hit 180, so if you can hold out until then, you will be able to overtake the starting planet. Then, after you've earned your base, you can start on the conquest for Universal Domination!
I've been doing that. 10% resources and higher than normal (not max) fog. I got all the way to ILS and even crafted a gas giant collector before leaving the starting planet. It's been fun. The trick is prioritizing those laser towers Nilaus has been ignoring. 😂
Contracts on making it that far, I curious on your settings, as Max Diff seems like your entire time in the first hour of play is barely surviving, I've been trying to find a good balance on settings to have a well balance game, were the Dark Fog is a challenge but not having combat every 30 secs with 3 waves. @@circuitguy9750
@@circuitguy9750 the good part with laser turrets is, it eats a lot of energy, making the fog even angrier and if you use only renewable sources, for all intents and purposes it's free energy.
Would love a max fog play through. I think it would still become trivial once your tech is high enough so please don't skip through the early game where it will be the most challenging.
Hi Nilaus, thank you so much for the blueprint libary! I played the game a good year ago with 160h in it and build my sphere. I know I have to think big but math is not my common skill :D and your blueprints are such a perfect help! Thank you! Best regards from Germany
9:55 Seven hives a swarming, Six broken buildings, Fiiiiiiive misssssiles flyyyyiiiiing! Four laser turrets, Three core drillers, Two signal towers, And a Ranger breaking our baaase.
Based on your final question. I'd say do whatever is most fun for you to play. I will watch, no worries :) Also, what I found is that if you want to harvest their camps, the space base of the fog will get large. Like really really big. I was getting a lot of good materials, went up and I was shocked how much their space base was grown. It was gigantic. hahah. Haven't dealt with that yet. I will first do your methode and starve them a bit more before I try an attempt in attacking the space base :) Also, which I found weird. One of their planet bases became level 13. But all of a sudden it became dark. All buildings were still intact, but they were not creating units anymore. Also their lasers didn't work anymore. Seemed like it was out of matter, which was weird since it was very active (resulting in a lot of good materials.) Also part two. The space base gets bigger when harvesting them. Not only in your current system but across all systems. So is it worth? I'm leaning towards not. Although the materials lvl 9 and beyond are super helpfull in the beginning. But one will be facing with a much greater strength to defend.
Maximum Settings Challenge is .... rough! Watched JD do that stuff yesterday. It wasnt fun imho. First 7-8 hours are more or less just pushing turrets and ammo ... edit: first 3 hours or so were just handcrafting and handmining ... as you dont want to disturb the hives too early ...
Max difficulty; yes, would love to see Nilaus tackle that. Maybe add some personal challenge touches aswell, e.g achievement run for space constrictions (no foundation), or no BPs allowed to make it more interesting later on
One tip i just started doing is make a box and a prolifirator connected to another box and just throw anything in it that you are going to manually use. like the pick ups from the dark fog if you proliferate the energy shards the t2 one turns it into 75% self replicator speed .
Your game is noticeably easier than if you had started on high DF levels. So watching your designs get forged in a hotter fire might be fun, if you are up for it ;-) I would be especially interested how you might assault a planet with a lot of higher level nests, since that is the problem I am presently engaged with... ;-)
Is it? I started on max difficulty and found it pretty easy to turtle up to green science without leaving home system. In fact only had to set up a titanium and silicon outpost and home planet resources was enough. I knew I should have started at 0.5x or leaner. :(
I was a bit slow at the beginning and now the other planets in my home system are too infested for me to clear, at least with low level ammo. Fortunately I was able to find a planet in a nearby system with a single nest and the exact minerals I don't have. So I expect I too will be getting to green science and beyond. It would still be nice to see how Nilaus would clear 20 bases off a planet throwing out 180 ships each though - he is the tutorial after all ;-) @@leighrobinson
tip- when using pumps for both water and acid, once the pump is placed you can foundation over the lake and the pumps still work. so place pumps put a row of conveyor behind them, foundation to the conveyor edge and do another row of pumps, allows alot more pumps in one area to maximise output
i would like to see production efficiency builds, u get blueprints from viewers, u review them, come up with your own solution of fully optimal way of doing it, having this be a big series, but also sure do a max fog challange aswell.
I'd love to see a max difficulty min resources challenge. I recently started playing with max combat infinite resources myself and it was a bit of a slog but got some interesting stuff out of it in the end. It would be nice to see someone of your skill caliber and production quality take on the hardest DSP can be to see some good strategies there! My small advice on getting started - handcraft a lot of the early stuff and research without building anything to generate minimum threat before you can get defences set up ;).
Please do make it as hard as possible! You got this and you'll make it look easy anyways. I'll go try on hardest and struggle while you nonchalantly just excel! Love the content! Keep it up!
max run 100% dark fog annihilation from entire seed? Maybe one from a true random seed instead of going through seeds to find one with lots of build area and good starting layout with fire ice. A challenge. Maybe a new achievement run to include the almost 30 new achievements. Glad to see you back on DSP.
I think missile turrets are too op making the other weapons systems odsolete I think there should be a patch that limits them to only work against space treats soo you need to use other kind of turrets to defend and add more ground units to attack the dark fog
as I agree the signal towers make them OP, this isnt a pvp game, we dont gotta worry about the balance, its the same as in Factorio, once you get flamethrowers other turrets are obsolete, its just fun to call in missile strikes from around the world, let it be.
Maybe the fog needs some sort of borg like resistance buildup so if you focused only one damage type you would eventually do no damage. That way you would need to diversify the damage to keep it even.
Can't wait to see better techs used in eradicating DF! Lasers, for example. Also ultra-hardcore run will be so entertaining - especially those, that have max speed on DF growth, with x1.5 or so its STR. Thx for the video!
Another interesting run would be with respecting existing geology, as currently every planet ends up as the same sphere with everything filled with the same blueprints.
You can set vessels to 100%, and they will still fly out with just 100 items if that is the limit on the station. no need to reduce it from 100%. That is especially great for stations where some items are 100, but others should be a full ship.
I would love to see a max difficulty let's play. Your designs are so good, it makes the default settings look trivial and the dark fog might as well not be there.
I'd love to see you build your normal builds but with defenses like shields and turrets built in. I think it would be really cool to see how you could integrate them into your normal designs while still sticking to your design principles.
Yass, we want a series on max difficulty..
Defogging and even warming up ❄️❄️➡️🔥🔥
I'm just cracking up thinking about a certain Aussie creator getting smashed on their deathworld while their chatty older child laughed the whole time :D. Yes please play a "deathworld" attempt!
Merry Christmas! As for the difficulty, max it! Test yourself!
Yes to max difficulty!!
yeah please do
Yes please ❤
i would love max Dark Fog run but then please make a real lets play out of it, with smaller jumps.

Max difficulty is pretty rough in the beginning, but super satisfying once you get stable. It doesnt have to be full max settings, but on normal you can pretty much forget they exist.
If by stable you mean managing ammo supply for a every growing number of turrets, with extremely slow expansion.

Having a Scarce Resource multiplier and harvesting the Dark Fog for resources would also be an interesting Challenge

Love your new playthrough. Im literally waiting for your new episodes each day. :D
Keep it up!
Okay I commented before I watched the video, I would love a more in depth and hardcore playthrough. :)
Yes, please, do the max dark fog run! DSP is how I first found you, I love when you come back to this game.

Six broken buildings,
Fiiiiiiive misssssiles flyyyyiiiiing!
Four laser turrets,
Three core drillers,
Two signal towers,
And a Ranger breaking our baaase.
I enjoy the videos either way it goes. Thx for playing!
Yes! A max dark fog run would be amazing, and a series similar to Factorio “Megabase in a book”!
> "Do you want me to...?"
Go big or go home!
To the Max!
Yes! Please! Max RUN COMMENCE. :D
Would love it, and longer episodes!
Love your vids Nilaus! I like this game alot and want you to play this game more often and also I would love to see a maximum difficulty run.
No preference here. Keep up the good work. Thanks for this.
22:19 Yass, if you want do make the resources not low quantity and make it a bit higher for to make it easier :D
I LOVE YOUR Blueprint design over and over again Both Factorio and DSP
Merry Christmas to Everyone!! and dark fog on maximum difficulty!!
Max difficulty would be very entertaining! I'm really enjoying this series.
Thx for posting on Christmas
I like max level challenge idea!
Merry Christmas and yes to a max difficulty run.
Merry Christmas and have a happy new deathworld run!!!!
A max difficulty series would be awesome!
I have been chomping at the bit to see a “Deathworld” style DSP play through the moment Dark Fog was released.
Challenge would be sweet as.
I think people would also enjoy a slow run where you go through all your builds / progression.
I think max run challenge would be interesting to watch on how you handle that complex of the dark fog❤ Happy Holidays
Yep, interested, thanks for the content 👌
3000% difficulty! Yes, please.
Great Video, Nilaus! You really are a Genius! 🙂❤
Yes make a max difficulty setting run 👍👍👍

Would be cool to see, and did watch to the end :p 😁
Extreme hard mode for sure! Deathworld with minimal resources

love ur playstyle

a max difficulty series sounds awesome🔥

Yes do a series on full difficulty
yes that would be interesting
Max fog here too, as currently "liberating" a planer or even a conplete solar system is basically a solved problem with signal towers.
I would love a max dark fog letsplay.
Yes please, give us the max! I knew you would come up with a blueprint like that and the name is peferct.
Let's give em the defogger!
Max Difficulty; Let's go!!!
Maybe the fog needs some sort of borg like resistance buildup so if you focused only one damage type you would eventually do no damage. That way you would need to diversify the damage to keep it even.

Yes, max diff sounds cool.
yes definitly like to see a death world series.
Woud be a nice holliday special on twitch ;)
Maximum difficulty with scarce resources sounds great, farm fog for base resources and shoot it back at them

That is a go from me for dsp "deathworld" run!
To the max😈
I watched the video all the way through, and I would be interested in a playthrough without skipping the beginning of the game.
I would like more masterclasses. for instance: how to bridge the energy gap just before the first solar sails
