man am new to factorio coming from Dyson sphere and satisfactory you don't know how this guide help me , if you just extend it to oil production tyvm Sir
It's nice to have one of these tutorials. Most "early game" tutorials just start out with someone building a furnace stack and then cutting to blue science and bots 2 minutes into the video.
@@TrupenMaybe you were a tad little bit too fast but other than that amazing content and videos! Im starting to love this game ill might have to pick it up as soon as when it goes on sale. :)
Just finished watching Dosh's printer "guide". I respect him for his hard work and genious content, but he's "on another level of existence", as some commented. So I will watch Trupen videos that I can understand.
@@TrupenI already watched everything on ur channel :D Searched for any streams, but found only with Martin (W A T E R F I L L) and some VODs Keep good, man
@@Trupeni think you could cover every science milestone because I know that myself tend to stop during/after blue science because I didn't think ahead enough and have to make so much refactor that i'm overhelmed even with bots. Like the tips you've done with putting the factory tier two next to the factory tier one in advance. Every science pack is a new challenge like adding fluid to the mix, outpost management and multi item recipes needing smart factory layout. Getting bigger is obvious but how you do it is what we want to see !
I love that this tutorial covered *every* early-game topic: -Resources -Smelting -Research -Belt tricks -Crafting ratios -Throughput basics -Defense/Offense against biters -Science production Amazing tutorial!
This guy made a base and more research progress in an hour than I did in 10 hours. Crazy how there's so much to learn. Definitely took some notes and going to watch some more guide stuff.
He also has been playing a few years. Once you play enough hours, you realize how to make things much more efficient and can start your own games very fast in Factorio.
I am new to the game 3 days in, and bro i think we dont need to get pressure over this. Like i was building smelters with that red hand to get coal from another belt and had one gap in smelters so that i can get electric current. Then realized i can just make coal and ore on one belt because coal isnt that much needed and came to the same strategy as this guy . While he is playing for years so definitely he will have better understanding of the game. Btw i watched the video to know what next after steel, because i am overwhelmed
The game has a lot of idiosyncrasies that you have to learn through trial and error. Like the logic behind combining production belts or making products go on a specific side of the belt. Once you know how belts work, making a furnace stack is somewhat intuitive, but you can easily spend several hours trying to figure out how to make your things go to the right place while making little to no progress.
Yes he is fast, but also most the the video is 2x speed, or sometimes 5x or 10x. So he is very efficient, but this is not 1 hour of gameplay, more like 3 hours compressed.
As a long term Factorio player I think every starter player should have the good fortune to find this video. This was a fantastic run through of the first hour of what can be a very confusing game to start with.
@@dylanb2990I mean he is right though, I am doing my first gameplay now, about 40 hours in and I havent watched any tutorials, really fun to figure out things by yourself
@@Zorrps Yea I'm kinda glad I suffered a bit so I got to experience the figuring things out part, but I'm also glad I found this for improving on my garbage
I thought this game was stupidly overwhelming, and I didn’t know what the hell I was doing. I was in the middle of the tutorial and didn’t know where I was supposed to be going with what it was teaching me, so I started a free play game, turned down the first two monster sliders at the top to 25% (I just want to mess around and do silly shit), and had so much fun just messing around and creating horrendously inefficient setups that would make anyone with more than 25 hours cry. This video was absolutely amazing, and I will 100% be revisiting this to get a better idea of what to do, you rock
I've been playing Factorio for several years now and never seen a guide bringing all the important facts together in one vid. Thanks Bro, very nice, even a year later...
Did you know that the Factorio devs made a way on how to, and I quote; "get rid of all the pistols Trupen made."? It's in the most recent Friday Facts, #375 - Quality.
Please continue this until you fire that rocket into space, i went step by step and this is enlightenening. My seed is vastly diiferent but the foundations here made my early game the best its ever been.
Gotta love when an announcement for an expansion reignites the curiosity of factorio for a new drove of players. I look forward to learning some new tricks from you trupen, fa tory must grow!
This video is great for beginners and experienced players alike. I've been playing since 2013 and I didn't even know you could autofil a research lab or assemblers by selecting the background of your inventory with control. Life-changing
I just started this game the other day, played through the tutorial except I skipped the last part because it was too broad, this is a great tutorial for how the game works and functions. Super useful video.
Your video is beyond useful! Factorio is difficult on the surface, but the way you lay out concepts makes it a whole lot more comprehesible. You literally explain better than the game itself haha
I got the game yesterday and was watching some other people doing beginner tips and tricks but they are nothing like this video. You've given me so much knowledge in such a short video. Thank you!
My wife and I love playing this game and your videos are a HUGE help in getting started and learning how to properly run a factory. Amazing videos. More of these tutorial type video's would be very cool to see!
@@Trupen It doesn't need to be a "Second hour" necessarily but something like a next step, a walkthrough of sorts on how to expand better, or what science to focus on next. I think it would be a neat idea and you are very didactic 😃 I'd be all here for it lol
@@Trupen I agree...as a brand new player (I mean i literally started a few hours ago) I didnt even view this as "a first hour" video but more as learning the meta i guess you could say. like i had know clue about those hotkeys or putting the coal miners side by side feeding one another and then clockwise. Im use to these type of games and would like to know how an expert does a play through and why they might make the decisions they make when they play.
Would love to see a similar video but along the lines of "Your First Hour with Chemicals" or however long it would take. There was a lot of nice setups shown in this one, and I'd love to see the same for oil/chemicals.
I'd still consider myself a noob for sure at 100+ hours but I still love these videos because there's so many early game things that I know I could be doing better for the long term, and this definitely helps.
Wow this video is insanely good. I started playing factorio two days ago and I LOVE IT. I didn't think a video was a good idea at first, I thought screw it I'll figure it out, but man this is the best way, get to grips with what's what, get stuff running and follow that principle. This has been incredible. Thank you for taking the time to make this video, it is legitimately perfect!
This has got to be my favorite tutorial video as a noob. It was so hard to understand balancing the belts properly, and how to get a mall running, but this explained it so clearly and concisely. Thank you very much!!
What's the point of playing if it's all figured out for you like this? A video like this removes any point of playing the game except to see if you're able to copy someone else.
@@ClarkPotter Being stuck while nothing is working because you don't know what you've done wrong or how to fix it, while having biters kill you over and over because you're not able to efficiently craft ammunition on a big enough scale yet because you don't know how, isn't fun. Knowing how to do things like this to implement them into your own save is helpful because you can then at least have automation for the things you'll need, and go from there.
@@Zorrps there is is ddint help me learn much and i still needed help knowing what to do from 3 to 5 , also watching this vidoe didn't ruin the fun for me , and i learned a ot of new things
Please continue this. I get to the point at the end of the video but I don’t know how to progress through blue science. Your tutorials have helped heaps so far
@@greatunclekeefie First, craft a vehicle, it's faster than running. With that, you need to start exploring and find an oil field, small pink dots on the map. You'll need to research oil pumping derricks and fluid technologies, etc, then craft a derrick for each oil deposit. You'll also need a storage tank for fluids (since you can't carry them as you would other, solid objects) and a ton of pipes to transport it all.
This is great help. Its slower but much more informative and fun. Unlike some peoples videos shoving everything they know into 30mins, while overwhelming but somehow not explaining certain helpful things.
I came from the land of doc's stuff, the simplicity of copy and paste dragged me back in. I had no clue you could actually "copy" and "paste", but also FLIP, (I wish I knew that earlier lmao). Copy and paste and flip are amazing, thank you for the key guides too
I watched this video today and built my base like that! You gave me a good understanding of the mechanics in a good pace. Awesome quality! We need a hour 1 to 2 video :D
This video is FAR better than the tutorial. I tried to just learn lessons rather than copy him - so 22mins into the video I'm 2 hours into my gameplay... Inefficient, I'm sure... But more fun for me. Thanks for all the hotkey tips! This was amazing.
Great tutorial video. The panic when the biters attacked was pretty funny. And for some reason, the fact you decide to drop the pistol in the middle of the base to forget about it got me lol
For items that need repair and you want to pick them up First select the repair kit Then you hold the left + right mous butten It will first repair the item and then pick it up
I'm brand new to Factorio, I spent probably 6hrs playing my first world yesterday... and it was embarrassingly inefficient and messy compared to what you have only 20 mins into the video :') Thank you so much for making shortcuts/hotkeys and basic concepts easier to understand.
Definitely had to watch this one a couple of times as I learned about the game. This guide was supremely helpful in teaching me how to play this game. It completely un-spaghetti'd my view of how this game should be played. Gearing up for my first launch now, and I'm still very thankful I found this guide.
Holy smokes, I watched this and 1 hour flew in minutes. Great content, stregiht to the point and I really enjoy the design. I got hooked on the game over the weekend spending like 16 hours or more and was looking just for some ways to make the base more efficient. Thanks!
Es increible como consumo tu contenido hace años y aun no entiendo el 90% de lo que decis, aun asi siempre me quedo con lo mas importante al menos. Buen video
Also a neat trick for newbies: you can salvage all the metal from your crashed spaceship and use it to craft stuff. Gives you a jump on having to mine & smelt ore from the get go.
Great video! I'd say 21:00 is the key to this whole video. If you understand what happens right there, it will change your game from crawling to running.
This is a truly excellent guide. You walk new players through each and every aspect a player may need going into the game. If I had seen this guide at the beginning of my playtime, I can't imagine how much time it would have saved. Your content is great and I hope you continue to grow as a TH-camr!
you did a very informative playthrough yet I still get so confused on grasping the concepts. It's deff way more complex than any game i've played before. I love it.
Best start up guide ever! I've been playing this game from the beginning but my production ratio was low, spaghetti like a pinata and only unlocked 7 achievements. Coz of early acces i lost alot of my bases and didnt feeled to play again (scared to loose again lot's of lot's of lot's of hours for nothing) When i discovered this guide, i would give it a new try, loaded my last save (where i was already playing 14 hours or so and handcraft 70% of the time). Then i decided okej this guy is thinking big, i was thinking uhm small xD, let's copy these tips/guide so thank you for a good start up guide. Now i know how to expand (that's what i think hmh).
This is a very good introduction to the game. New players watching other expert base building videos will notice a different layout ( a ''bus'' ). Don't worry if your first base dosen't have a nice clean ''bus'', as you'll be making a second cleaner base anyway.
I just started playing factorio because a lot of people talk about how good it was, i see it and i think this game was similar to the one game that i already played called mindustry which is simpler version of this game. After i watch this video i just realise how crazily complex this game really is like damn seeing hot key on setting was like reading 100 pages book so this video help me like a lot some tips like coal loop like that really help me out a lot because for first timer like me i just follow tutorial which is a complete not ideal way to play like im struggling too keep my furnance going because i need to take a coal and distribute them to all of stuff in my base including miner for the coal (that's why coal loop was really amazing). Really don't know how i can make a base at the same time trying to defend my base from alien but i think it will be better for fist timer like me to play on peacefull mode first to fully understand the mechanic before jumping in to the real mode in this game. Really good content though one video that really help me alot understand this game better and make the game more fun and challenging.
25:40 - You can make the 3:2 green circuit arrays symmetric, at least. Just leave one tile gap between each pair of green circuit assemblers, centered on the middle of the center copper wire assembler. This also allows you to use 3x yellow slow inserters to input copper wire to each green circuit assembler without throwing off the ratio of input from each wire assembler by putting just two fast inserters (which tries to draw twice as much from the center wire assembler).
Bloody hell. This has blown my mind. Im new to this game struggling with the tutorial. Thought i would watch this for help..... made me realise that the old school way of slowly building this one at a time is sure as hell not the way to go I'll take the tips i can from it. And return at a later date. Sooooooo much. Edit: just finished.... my brain is melting.
great video! but i wonder how is your iron consumption is so high? my last half of furnaces in the iron smelting column are not burning any iron.. and the iron ore esclator is not moving so much..
Dear @Trupen, Thank you for this insightful video. I recently started again with Factorio and I learned a lot from this video. I had the tutorial up to 5 (the trains one) and this made me start a new game. This went kinda well till the first 4 science ones (red, green, blue and black) and things went really confusing Due lack of space, bottle necks and my lack of understanding of the new concepts like trains and bots. So I have one double life line of copper ore and and a 3 belt life line of iron ore so far. First I was glad to have solar panels and accumulators - until I realised that my steam engines work working night and day. Took me a bit to find out out to switch them on and off - rather how to implement an R/S construct with a simple components available (I missed the feedback loop). Once that was mastered came fluid chemistry. I was told the current stage is a lot easier, but still was a challenge to connect things up and the first 2x life belts (sulphur and explosives) back to the main base were born - as I did not understand trains. I tried to create a train for solid fuel, (something) to base and steel and green circuits back, but it was mainly sponged things up and never properly worked. Advanced fluids was okish, as I had RS-latches for heavy -> medium -> Carbon (In theory). Later I found out that 1/2 of my plants were not properly hooked up, thus not working - my RS-latch boundaries were wrong (they were setup for a single tank and now I had 5 - I wish Factorio had a % function instead of pure count - similar to accumulator ( e.g. Coal absolute and coal %). Last thing was growing pains. Ore patches getting low, lack of base components (e.g. copper plates, green circuits, ...) and fixing things around limited space. I wished to just abandon the old base - but had no idea how to setup a new base any better - having no blue prints and lack of understanding of the new logistics network.
@@Trupen I did turn the biters down and with everything researched except white beaker science, they are not a problem. Problem for example is I am stuck with red belts - I have lubricant on the edge and belts in the centre, but no way to get them "neat" together, as all space is taken by spaghetti. I have Long 4 row belts of Iron and Uranion feeding into the "city", because I don´t understand trains. Main belts of copper/Iron plate running dry and new spaghetti to fill them up. I have setup Uranium Mining and enrichment that I have 30 boxes of 238 and I think around 200 units of 235. But stuck on how to automate enrichment, that I don´t starve the automation. I could build a silo, but don´t know where. Growing pains of the undecided that got afraid of complexity and thus also afraid to do a fresh start.
I just found your channel. Thank you for all your videos. An thus video just gave me so much to start with. I just started playing. I have so much fun. Thank you :)
Is a video planned for the midgame aspect oil management blue science automation and more? Would be amazing ! i'm back to factorio from before patch 1.0 and i love every aspect of this video
Dude, I've been wanting to get back into factorio. I made a new world and was like.... Huh.... So I'm so glad you are here I forgot the right way to do things
Thats way better than the Tutorial! I first builded the "treadmill" like a street trying to connect everything, instead of pulling it Over. My First base is way to chaotic designed ^^
Thank you, that was very helpful! I just started the game and my first two freeplay worlds were a mess and I abandonded them when I was about to start steel production. My third world is thriving. (Although I am now struggling with keeping my base safe from evolved biters). Also, thank you for using video chapters!
I almost never played with biters enabled, figured I would watch a tutorial. With biters enabled, I was terrified of creating pollution so I made a tiny base and I was getting nowhere. Guess I need to be much bolder! Thanks for the video!
I keep restarting because I mess up a design in the first hour. I’m trying to figure my own stuff out while *kinda* using this video. I’ve already learned so much.
thank you for this! the tutorial was a bit stressful for me to go through so i struggled on understanding what was happening. i can easily look through this video if i end up getting stuck again!
Plz continue this i love it I have only like 50h played on factorio And i can see now that i have to start New game i learned so mutch whit this one video
Trupen you are the guy i was looking for. Thanks man it was really help full. Can you do another video same like this but "Your second hour in Factorio" Please?
bro, u know what i need ?! i need you to stay next to me holding a stick, whenever i do stupid things while playing, i get a hit 🤣🤣🤣 this is awesome, keep going
this is an extremely helpful guide. it's easy to expand and build upon. also teaches me some good tips and ways of thinking as I progress through factorio's complicated learning curve. thanks
Even so this video is 1 year old, it should be helpful in your space age journey, good luck!

@@kye3398theres a tutorial in the game for a reason
@@Zorrps there is is ddint help me learn much and i still needed help knowing what to do from 3 to 5 , also watching this vidoe didn't ruin the fun for me , and i learned a ot of new things
Please continue this. I get to the point at the end of the video but I don’t know how to progress through blue science. Your tutorials have helped heaps so far
Get bots if you have blue science
@@Weeddemoman653 how do I make blue? After green I’m completely lost
@@greatunclekeefie First, craft a vehicle, it's faster than running. With that, you need to start exploring and find an oil field, small pink dots on the map. You'll need to research oil pumping derricks and fluid technologies, etc, then craft a derrick for each oil deposit. You'll also need a storage tank for fluids (since you can't carry them as you would other, solid objects) and a ton of pipes to transport it all.
This is great help. Its slower but much more informative and fun. Unlike some peoples videos shoving everything they know into 30mins, while overwhelming but somehow not explaining certain helpful things.
I came from the land of doc's stuff, the simplicity of copy and paste dragged me back in. I had no clue you could actually "copy" and "paste", but also FLIP, (I wish I knew that earlier lmao). Copy and paste and flip are amazing, thank you for the key guides too
I watched this video today and built my base like that! You gave me a good understanding of the mechanics in a good pace. Awesome quality!
We need a hour 1 to 2 video :D
Played factorio for the first time the other day and was so overwhelmed! This video is a huge help to learning how to start the game out.
This video is FAR better than the tutorial. I tried to just learn lessons rather than copy him - so 22mins into the video I'm 2 hours into my gameplay... Inefficient, I'm sure... But more fun for me.
Thanks for all the hotkey tips! This was amazing.
Great tutorial video. The panic when the biters attacked was pretty funny. And for some reason, the fact you decide to drop the pistol in the middle of the base to forget about it got me lol
I could totally see an April 1st version of this, where it's actually the first hour of a speedrun.
Consider that speedruns usually send a rocket soon after the first hour, that would be quite good experience for new players ;)
For items that need repair and you want to pick them up
First select the repair kit
Then you hold the left + right mous butten
It will first repair the item and then pick it up
I'm brand new to Factorio, I spent probably 6hrs playing my first world yesterday... and it was embarrassingly inefficient and messy compared to what you have only 20 mins into the video :') Thank you so much for making shortcuts/hotkeys and basic concepts easier to understand.
Definitely had to watch this one a couple of times as I learned about the game. This guide was supremely helpful in teaching me how to play this game. It completely un-spaghetti'd my view of how this game should be played. Gearing up for my first launch now, and I'm still very thankful I found this guide.
Holy smokes, I watched this and 1 hour flew in minutes. Great content, stregiht to the point and I really enjoy the design. I got hooked on the game over the weekend spending like 16 hours or more and was looking just for some ways to make the base more efficient. Thanks!
Es increible como consumo tu contenido hace años y aun no entiendo el 90% de lo que decis, aun asi siempre me quedo con lo mas importante al menos. Buen video
Also a neat trick for newbies: you can salvage all the metal from your crashed spaceship and use it to craft stuff. Gives you a jump on having to mine & smelt ore from the get go.
Great video!
I'd say 21:00 is the key to this whole video. If you understand what happens right there, it will change your game from crawling to running.
This is a truly excellent guide. You walk new players through each and every aspect a player may need going into the game. If I had seen this guide at the beginning of my playtime, I can't imagine how much time it would have saved. Your content is great and I hope you continue to grow as a TH-camr!
I played factorio back in 2022, forgot everything.
Played tutorial, then followed this guide, and im back on track.
Thx :)
You did more in one hour than I did in 50.
Going in blind was fun - but I'm ready to do things right now.
Thank you!
you did a very informative playthrough yet I still get so confused on grasping the concepts. It's deff way more complex than any game i've played before. I love it.
You did more in 10 minutes than I did in 1 hour. Amazing guide for new players, thanks!
Best start up guide ever! I've been playing this game from the beginning but my production ratio was low, spaghetti like a pinata and only unlocked 7 achievements. Coz of early acces i lost alot of my bases and didnt feeled to play again (scared to loose again lot's of lot's of lot's of hours for nothing) When i discovered this guide, i would give it a new try, loaded my last save (where i was already playing 14 hours or so and handcraft 70% of the time). Then i decided okej this guy is thinking big, i was thinking uhm small xD, let's copy these tips/guide so thank you for a good start up guide. Now i know how to expand (that's what i think hmh).
Glad I could help you
Dude, I was getting so frustrated, this helped me find ideas and made it so much more fun. Thank you.
glad to help
So this is what seeing through the brainfog is like....This vid gonna help me so much!
This is a very good introduction to the game.
New players watching other expert base building videos will notice a different layout ( a ''bus'' ).
Don't worry if your first base dosen't have a nice clean ''bus'', as you'll be making a second cleaner base anyway.
I just started playing factorio because a lot of people talk about how good it was, i see it and i think this game was similar to the one game that i already played called mindustry which is simpler version of this game. After i watch this video i just realise how crazily complex this game really is like damn seeing hot key on setting was like reading 100 pages book so this video help me like a lot some tips like coal loop like that really help me out a lot because for first timer like me i just follow tutorial which is a complete not ideal way to play like im struggling too keep my furnance going because i need to take a coal and distribute them to all of stuff in my base including miner for the coal (that's why coal loop was really amazing). Really don't know how i can make a base at the same time trying to defend my base from alien but i think it will be better for fist timer like me to play on peacefull mode first to fully understand the mechanic before jumping in to the real mode in this game. Really good content though one video that really help me alot understand this game better and make the game more fun and challenging.
25:40 - You can make the 3:2 green circuit arrays symmetric, at least. Just leave one tile gap between each pair of green circuit assemblers, centered on the middle of the center copper wire assembler. This also allows you to use 3x yellow slow inserters to input copper wire to each green circuit assembler without throwing off the ratio of input from each wire assembler by putting just two fast inserters (which tries to draw twice as much from the center wire assembler).
going along with you sir has been a pleasure this was amazing
As a factory AGI, currently in Swedish, I will continue give you credit for educating our workers in our next music video 🏭🎵
It's good to know a channel that knows how to play factorio
Bloody hell. This has blown my mind. Im new to this game struggling with the tutorial. Thought i would watch this for help..... made me realise that the old school way of slowly building this one at a time is sure as hell not the way to go I'll take the tips i can from it. And return at a later date. Sooooooo much.
Edit: just finished.... my brain is melting.
I have more stuff if you want :)
@Trupen oh trust me, ive already watched a few. Just learning.
Juat stated playing the game, you got firther in 20 mintirs than i did in 3 hours. Thank you, this video was SO helpful
I wish this video never ends. Its so satisfying to watch!
Please make a continuation of this, or a video on bringing in resources via train/oil with pumps
great video! but i wonder how is your iron consumption is so high? my last half of furnaces in the iron smelting column are not burning any iron.. and the iron ore esclator is not moving so much..
I just use it all the time to research and expand the base
Dear @Trupen, Thank you for this insightful video. I recently started again with Factorio and I learned a lot from this video. I had the tutorial up to 5 (the trains one) and this made me start a new game. This went kinda well till the first 4 science ones (red, green, blue and black) and things went really confusing Due lack of space, bottle necks and my lack of understanding of the new concepts like trains and bots. So I have one double life line of copper ore and and a 3 belt life line of iron ore so far.
First I was glad to have solar panels and accumulators - until I realised that my steam engines work working night and day. Took me a bit to find out out to switch them on and off - rather how to implement an R/S construct with a simple components available (I missed the feedback loop).
Once that was mastered came fluid chemistry. I was told the current stage is a lot easier, but still was a challenge to connect things up and the first 2x life belts (sulphur and explosives) back to the main base were born - as I did not understand trains. I tried to create a train for solid fuel, (something) to base and steel and green circuits back, but it was mainly sponged things up and never properly worked.
Advanced fluids was okish, as I had RS-latches for heavy -> medium -> Carbon (In theory). Later I found out that 1/2 of my plants were not properly hooked up, thus not working - my RS-latch boundaries were wrong (they were setup for a single tank and now I had 5 - I wish Factorio had a % function instead of pure count - similar to accumulator ( e.g. Coal absolute and coal %).
Last thing was growing pains. Ore patches getting low, lack of base components (e.g. copper plates, green circuits, ...) and fixing things around limited space. I wished to just abandon the old base - but had no idea how to setup a new base any better - having no blue prints and lack of understanding of the new logistics network.
The game might be challenging in the beginning, if you want just lower the biters settings for more peaceful experience
@@Trupen I did turn the biters down and with everything researched except white beaker science, they are not a problem. Problem for example is I am stuck with red belts - I have lubricant on the edge and belts in the centre, but no way to get them "neat" together, as all space is taken by spaghetti. I have Long 4 row belts of Iron and Uranion feeding into the "city", because I don´t understand trains. Main belts of copper/Iron plate running dry and new spaghetti to fill them up. I have setup Uranium Mining and enrichment that I have 30 boxes of 238 and I think around 200 units of 235. But stuck on how to automate enrichment, that I don´t starve the automation. I could build a silo, but don´t know where. Growing pains of the undecided that got afraid of complexity and thus also afraid to do a fresh start.
I just found your channel. Thank you for all your videos.
An thus video just gave me so much to start with. I just started playing. I have so much fun. Thank you :)
This video was amazing! I’d love follow-up videos where you keep progressing!
Is a video planned for the midgame aspect oil management blue science automation and more?
Would be amazing !
i'm back to factorio from before patch 1.0 and i love every aspect of this video
Dude, I've been wanting to get back into factorio. I made a new world and was like....
Huh....
So I'm so glad you are here I forgot the right way to do things
Thats way better than the Tutorial! I first builded the "treadmill" like a street trying to connect everything, instead of pulling it Over. My First base is way to chaotic designed ^^
so smooth and optimized
Trupen, your videos are great. I like your mini-mall for belts and inserters. I'm gonna make similar in my new game :)
Thank you, that was very helpful! I just started the game and my first two freeplay worlds were a mess and I abandonded them when I was about to start steel production. My third world is thriving. (Although I am now struggling with keeping my base safe from evolved biters).
Also, thank you for using video chapters!
I almost never played with biters enabled, figured I would watch a tutorial. With biters enabled, I was terrified of creating pollution so I made a tiny base and I was getting nowhere. Guess I need to be much bolder! Thanks for the video!
biters are extremely hard to deal with when you play on a desert, so I recommend a nice comfy forest :)
I keep restarting because I mess up a design in the first hour. I’m trying to figure my own stuff out while *kinda* using this video. I’ve already learned so much.
Good luck!
the "electro-city" grew on me during this. thanks for this easy to understand tutorial my friend
My pleasure!
thank you for this! the tutorial was a bit stressful for me to go through so i struggled on understanding what was happening. i can easily look through this video if i end up getting stuck again!
I dont usually comment on TH-cam videos but this was the best game tutorial i watched ngl
Are you planning to continue this? I learned a few things and would like to see how you handle oil and trains.
I'm not planning to continue it as a series, but I will make a whole playthrough like this from start to finish
Plz continue this i love it
I have only like 50h played on factorio
And i can see now that i have to start New game i learned so mutch whit this one video
10 minutes in and my head already hurts lol but will keep watching this is an insane video so far
Amazing video, exacly what I needed. Thank you
I just came back to Factorio after a long break. This is great to see.
I just got the game, was a bit confused at first, but your guide has been a big help
Glad it was helpful
Hi, I'm restarting with the expansion thanks for the tutorials they are really good !
Trupen you are the guy i was looking for. Thanks man it was really help full. Can you do another video same like this but "Your second hour in Factorio" Please?
bro, u know what i need ?!
i need you to stay next to me holding a stick, whenever i do stupid things while playing, i get a hit
🤣🤣🤣
this is awesome, keep going
No freakin way i just bought this game yesterday and got a damn updated video about starting in factorio well, ty dude
Simply amazing! Just the sections of the video themselves are very helpful for newcomers
Great video! Cant wait for more.
Thanks!
This is the kind of video I hope all the new players brought in when the expansion drops finds.
this is an extremely helpful guide. it's easy to expand and build upon. also teaches me some good tips and ways of thinking as I progress through factorio's complicated learning curve. thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much the video is just top especially for beginners thank you very much you are doing well and try to continue good luck to you!
Thank you, I will
