Yea it's awesome, at this point it is pretty safe to say the game is a success but it's always difficult to scale up very small indie teams.. (see valheim)

@@bmobmo6438 That's what I've heard. Also that it starts to drag on near the end. I've done most of what vanilla has to offer though. I think SE is my next step but I'll have to find a tutorial on those number combinator things as my caveman brain really stuggles with them.

It's absolutely magnificent and if the premise even slightly interests you I wholeheartedly recommend checking it out. It's in a similar genre to Subnautica and Planet Crafter, but with focus on building and logistics, with very minimal survival elements (about as much as is needed to make exploration interesting and exciting). I think it out-does both games in presentation even.
Satisfactory has been one of those rare games that I have kept up on this closely for an indie game. They have excellent community interaction and Coffee Stain is becoming a solid dev. Cannot wait to dig into update 6 and can't wait for 1.0. I almost felt like I joined a cult when I started playing it I loved it so much
@@bamoline04 I have started a whole ass new world every single update And made vastly different builds every time. I don't think I'm gonna do that for update 6, I'm just gonna wait for 1.0 to make a big giant playthrough to the end (I almost finished the Space Elevator on my update 5 world). Man, I hope Bricky gets into it sometime. There's allready a couple good analysis videos on it, but I want MOAR, it's such a cool ass game, I want more cool ass videos about it!
400h in my first play through back in late 2020 and started my second play through 2 weeks ago 100h in. Amazing game, the world awesome and not procedurally generated so every environment is tuned and nodes are not randomly placed. Also very easy and no stress game, resources are unlimited so it's all about the planning and logistics, you can make it sloppy or have a perfectly tuned and 100% efficient factory. That 400h playthrough I only tapped like 20% of the nodes on the huge map the whole time was just building and trying to make everything fit and work.
@@Bloodtyrant9154 My times are a little inflated because there're times when I accidentally or intentionally leave the game running in the background, but here they are: My first sloppy world I started on Update 3: 196 hours; My second world I started on Update 4s release that I almost finished the Space Elevator in: 392 hours (A good 20-30 hours of this was intentional idling as I was veeeeeeeery slowly making the final Space Elevator tier items, I have a giant ass nuclear powerplant in this and everything); My latest that I started with another dude I talked to on discord, only got up to finishing a really badass looking Heavy Frame factory and finally learned to use Hyper Tubes: 164 hours.
And the modding community is very active. A lot of ways to add more cosmetic options, help optimize builds and add fun stuff for less serious runs. Definitely worth the money
It feels so stupid, but the way the planet changes due to your actions feels like YOU have done that. And while the graphics are nothing special, it's still stunningly beautiful. Going to an area that you last visited when it was still barren and finding all the trees growing there... It's truly powerful.
Just got out of Satisfactory addiction with a friend. This is going on the wishlist for sure. Impressive to be able to nail the progression that well. Some other ones you just hit exponential increases that sort of make it feel more like work then progression.
When this game released i was curious, but what sold me was the visible planetary progression, nothing more. If the progression is satisfying it gets a pass for me and i was not dissapointed even in its early stage and it is rough for now. I stopped playing because i don't want the to exhaust myself before the full release and dip into it again in maybe 4-6 month. Definitely a game to keep watch!
Brice & Amelie appear to be a couple. Imagine livin a dream like that, just a duo able to make good games together with synergistic skills and asperations that line up.
never said it before, but the way you use your camera/body positioning in these fast pace documentary like videos is sublime. Because even if you make yourself big as to cover a 25% of the screen, you leave the right amount of video in the background so that someone can flawlessly watch the video behind you and switch to you to look your expressions or reactions big and clear. Good editing!!!!
Bonus points of panic was achieved when one of the tracks ended with a tune very similar to the start of the "End Times" from "Outer Wilds". I was fully ready to just get blown up with the whole star system because of it.
Imagine when Bricky really touches the most dopamine rush game ever that is Dyson Sphere Program. That game made my wife leave me, and I found a new wife, called Dyson Sphere Program.
I still don't understand how I have 250+ hours in that game. It sucked me in so hard at one point, unfortunately I petered out before truly getting white cubes online. Just started up a new save to start generating Metadata for the combat update (though I'm probably going to restart again, finding that my starter planet has a distinct lack of land, so many oceans and lakes). Edit: Yes, I know 250 hrs are rookie numbers, but that's a lot for me
@@BuffiestFluff Some clock literally thousands of hours in this game, I was comparing myself to them. I know the majority of players don't make it past 100 hours, I was being facetious
@@TheLegomann97 That game is insane, my first LP is 100 hours, I did tons of wrong, got to build the Dyson Sphere but could see how to improve a lot, my second LP was about that too but way more performant, still room for improvement, my third one is 70 hours and running, and I can see room for improvement. There's no challenge other than you wanting to improve the processes, it's bizarre how good it feels. Also the end result of every LP is VERY PRETTY and SATISFYING.
I played the demo for about 45mins then just bought the game. I’ve made it to 100% Achievements and waiting for the next update. It is fun and relaxing
I had just picked up your Planet Crafter playlist this week! Glad to see there is a fourth episode to watch now. Always a good time to watch someone else having a good time.
Planet Crafter is definitely going on my wishlist as someone who has just hit their 500th hour in Satisfactory. I will say to be careful with Satisfactory because once I make a new save, it's like I time traveled 100 hours foreword in time and now I have a sick factory. Plus the devs are the most communicative I've seen in a game ever, and very clearly wants to make a game with the community, more than for it.
Satisfactory and Factorio are both the kind of game that work very similarly to actual drugs. You boot them up on a Friday evening for some “fun” and suddenly it’s 2 am on a Monday and you’re trying to get your newest Bus line set up for that last push to the next tech tier an-
The premise is kind of reverse Satisfactory. Instead of making the planet worse, you're trying to make things better. The gameplay loop looks very similar, though- but not too similar, I think, given said premise flip.
@@topazs.5492 From what bricky says the biggest difference is the rate of automation. In satisfactory, you will only manually extract resources for like, 20 minutes before you get (portable) miners going
After this video I REALLY need one on Factorio from you. It may grip you, but it grips you for a reason, and the insane polish on the game is just *chef's kiss*
Honestly the demo kinda left me unimpressed. Idk why then, some months later, I decided to pirate it. Then I binged it for days. Whenever I had free time, I'd get on this game. Then I bought it on steam when it went on sale. I'm currently waiting for the next update.
Hey Bricky ;), there is this new game called Shatterline, a dev-published call of duty like game with an interesting pve rogue-like mode. The devs are very connected to the community and take advice from us very often. It would be amazing if you tried it out and if you think the game is worth your while, even make a video about it. The devs deserve all the support in the world and support from a big content creator would mean a lot since they do not have a publisher. I hope to see you in a future video about it. Anyways keep up the good work, been really loving the content you’ve been putting out lately, lots of love
I love Bricky's random DRG references lmfao. I'm surprised he's never done a video on it. Though I guess there's very little about this game that hasn't been praised up and down already
Calling this game "not yet ready" doesn't fully describe its condition. The word I'd use here is... well, _raw._ Idk what it'll be in 5 years, but I'm not in the mood to stay and find out. And I wonder if the developer is in the mood for that themselves?
Great review. I had the same reaction and opinions as you, and also decided to get it due to being an Indie game in Early Access with a lot of reviews and falling under Overwhelmingly Positive, which as stated is VERY rare. I think it having such a high rank is precisely due to how the biggest issue with games, nowadays, is Game Design. Companies throw a lot of resources towards Art, coding and even writing (!!!) nowadays, but raw Game Design and its subjectivities (flow, feel, balancing, subjective progression) gets left behind - likely due to to trying to fit projects in a certain box, scope or timeframe. When a game hits this design sweetspot nowadays, it gets positive reviews despite its roughness - which would have completely doomed a game project just a few years ago. Hopefully this trend continues and it becomes easier to find gems as the reviews will reflect the core quality of the game, rather than having games be dumped due to not looking AAA with the budget of 2 dollars and a sandwich.
Yesss , i love this game and i have been so focused on it the last week its crazy. I stared it months ago then got distracted and came back after more updates. So far i am at the keys but i wont spoil anything for anyone. The way i can create and see the changes firsthand both initially and long tern keep me coming back for more. Its a great game to play on stream because it offers hours of game play and peaceful entertainment.
I don't like that you are blocking a good portion of the screen.. but I love that you're excellent at explaining the depth of this game. Thank you for the excellent explanation + Review. and detailed info, and knowledge of the creators.
Oh how we all long for the day that Bricky just VANISHES from life, only to emerge 6 month later, malnourished, pale and exhausted, but with 3hr long video of Factorio. You know it's coming.
Ooo, this is a fantastic game. I snagged it a few days after it was dropped on steam, and had been playing it off and on for a while. It's grown quite a bit, with community feeback and dev work. When I saw you streaming it I had a feeling we'd either get a video about it or a themed video talking about it partially. ^^
dude im hooked.. i played the demo for 1h and insts bought it. this game just has it. it is so simple but also so rewarding and enjoying and fun to build and explore and then do even more of it to get more and see more and... aaah so good!
also Timberborn is overwhelmingly Positive (95%) and really satisfying when you manage to survive each drought, btw. at 7:36 you convinced me to check it out, thanks
Small indie airships conquer the skies. Watch as a crewmate gets hit with a cannonball through the hole in the armor and think "man i shoulda added more bunks" cause guess what YOU design the ships!!!
I had the same experience with Mon Bazou over a year ago. It seemed like an interesting game, had overwhelmingly positive reviews, so I bought it. I thought I got scammed when I first started playing it, but after about ten hours I was absolutely obsessed. Making a maple syrup empire, growing weed and potatoes, raising favor with your mom and neighbors, building your car, all of these are extremely slow processes that eventually snowball into this addictive loop, and at some point Mon Bazou was the only thing I could think about
Amphibians to Mammals is a GRIND, but it teaches you to re-organize and spread OUT. It's a Terra-former game, meaning all zones need the love. Quickly becoming one of my favorite games at 120 hours into it. The discovery of the ancients who came before you was the icing on the cake.
Gotta say: that stiff right arm stuck in the corner of your view does give me a bit of nostalgia for early 3d fps games. Barely booping a giant fuckoff gun up and down as you casually mow down hordes of.. shittily programed enemies... ah the good old days
Great video, very well said. I got hooked on this game when it first hit Early Access, and eagerly await each update. Planet Crafter is the ultimate time sink, because you easily get lost in the flow of it all. The fact it is being made by a 2-person team is mind blowing.
Since this review, the game has snowballed in great gameplay mechanics, all of which are paced well and feel both insurmountable yet you are comforted by the fact you learned how to get to that point and overcome it to. And the story is awesome, I won't get into specifics, but it's really weird and cool.
Hey Bricky, if you liked this game, you may like a game called Genesis Alpha One. It’s a space sim/base builder where you create your own ship and fend off aliens and such. You can even go planetside to gather materials. It’s not exactly the same, but I think you would like it.
I love Planet Crafter and this video definitely helped me to put it into words why I do, despite how rough it is around the edges. I think in essence, Planet Crafter is almost more like an incremental game. It gives you that dopamine boost that something like Cookie Clicker does, except in a game you can run around in.
I know it is early access but dude, this is one of early access game that I really looking forward to. The end goal was so satisfying and also all of these crafting make sense once you learned that there was a story about it. Yeah, I could feel that into my soul what you mean by *_"It has to be by the Balls."_*
I love how if you've been partaking in both Bricky's personal content and Adeptus Ridiculous for the past year and a half or so you can FEEL exactly when Bricky started playing DeepRock Galactic. No joke. I dare you, find it for me. I already know when that was!
This is why I love your videos bricky. You play a game, you like it, you share it with us. There’s some genuine passion behind these videos and all of us can feel it. Far too uncommon these days on TH-cam. Keep up the good work man !
I hope Bricky plays Space Engineers someday. It literally became my daytime job when service work was on hold during the beginning of the pandemic. 8-12h a day of gaming for two weeks stright xD It's my favourite survival game of all time
The 'piss orange sky' actually does make somewhat sense, it could be assumed that solar winds have stirred up large amounts of the planets orange dust.
could you imagine if our dangerous mission space programs consisted of death row prisoners who are given high levels of training to terraform a planet. the idea of this game alone has me interested.
Awesome vid, you convinced me. Never played Subnautica, but I have hundreds of hours in No Man’s Sky. While the game mechanics (minus the terraformation index) may not be the most ‘original’ thing in the world, the fact that it was made by 2 people makes me want to support it even more, idk why. That website was so wholesome, and I really hope the devs are enjoying all the positive attention their game has gotten. And hopefully they make bank from it lol
This is my first video of yours after, like you, finding Planet Crafter randomly scrolling through the automation tab on Steam. I really do think that you would love Satisfactory. I feel similarly about its progression as you were talking about in your video. However, it has the experience absolutely locked in. Everything is an experience. I play a lot of these games, and also like you, I am willing to forgive a lot if the core gameplay is good. I'm cool with building stuff just appearing, but you're in for a treat the first time you place down the Space Elevator and watch that glorious animation. And the sound. Everything you do sounds meaning full. From the building sounds to like the KA CHONKACHONK of pulling levers is just perfect. And little things in the game play. Wish you could type in the number instead of using the slider? You can. Wish you could just search for what you want? You can. Need a calculator? Press N. You got one. And it's a search bar to help you with anything in the game. It's phenomenal. And the great thing is it's not even fully done yet! If you ever find yourself with like five to seven... hundred hours, you would love just exactly how well the game teases your dopamine glands so perfectly that you might just be willing to let your boss fire you and your wife leave because goddamnit you need 84 fuel generators to power your new factory and that's going to take 31 refineries to process the raw oil into turbo fuel... but it's gonna give you like 1,200 mw of capacity. So take that, you stupid aluminum factory! Sorry, I'm back. One time my wife said I was saying a bunch of numbers in my sleep and asked if I knew what it was all about. "45, 45, 90. Yeah I think that's right" is an example she gave. Throughput. Glorious, glorious productivity. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is if you're the type of person who could let a game take over their lives, you should absolutely just take the needle and put it into your arm and just like... do it. You won't. This is already gone on way too long, but if you're still with me: Update 7 made it a lot easier to not give your life over to it.... as much. After you unlock blueprints, which is pretty early on, you can have much shorter sessions designing different parts of your factory. Then with longer play sessions, build your factories and explore. There is also multiplayer, so if you have friends who would play with you it's a great time. But anyways, thank you for this video. I think I will definitely be checking Planet Crafter out further. You did a wonderful job translating the experience and I'm very intrigued now. Cheers
Someone get Dunkey on the line! Assuming they're not already spoken for, they seem like the exact project BigMode was made for! Loved the video Bricky! I passed over this game previously, but I gotta add it to my wishlist now!
Came across this randomly, just wanted to let you know that the game has added a good bit of content, still rough looking but a lot more end game material has been added, not sure where it was at a year ago. There are teleporters, insects, fish, mammals, and exploring alien POI's. New biomes with new materials, just a lot of mid to end game stuff that is a ton of fun. I agree with your assessment that this game's progression is perfect, it is very addictive and very fun if you wanted to dip back in and see what's new!
The thing about Planet Crafter, is that there is *never* a time in the game where you are not achieving something, unless you run out of power (which only happens if you place too many power consumption items). There's always a way out (deconstruct whatever you just crafted, or make more power generators if you have available materials). So, anytime you are trying to do anything in the game, you are making progress -- Heat, Pressure, O2 are all going up and so is the TI by extension. So, are you walking around gathering materials? TI is going up and making progress towards unlocking stuff that you can build to get *more* TI. Are you exploring a ship? Are you just walking from place to place? During all of that, you are still making passive progress. The entire game is all about "how can I make that passive progress, Faster?" But the Food and Hunger mechanics are there to make sure you can't just sit AFK in your base and exploit the passive progress without at least some work. Now, later on when you get things like the water collector or water purifiers, and when you get enough Food Growers that you no longer need Space Food, you can just check the game every 5-10 minutes, but progress would be extremely slow without building new stuff because of the way the progress meters actually work. It uses the Metric System, like you start out with TI then you get to kTI, then MTI, then GTI. Sure, ticking up by 0.50 kTI seems fast... until you hit 1 MTI and the meter stops moving all the sudden because it takes 20 seconds to get 0.01 MTI. Also, yes, the rockets stack but they give you diminishing returns so you can't just launch 100 of each rocket and get 50 MTI/sec from just rockets, it doesn't work like that. After about 3-5 rockets it really slows down the gains from each rocket, and at that point the only reason to do them is to get more Uranium/Iridium if you're running low on it. Guess what I'm trying to say is that the game _wants_ to give you reasons to work towards building stuff you just unlocked, and the game makes sure that you won't be using obsolete tech because each tier of items is made in such a way that there's (almost) never a reason to use outdated tech with a few exceptions: 1). Windmills: I use these as markers so I don't get lost as much, marking hard to find stuff, like caves. They're tall and easily seen from a distance and only cost 1 iron. 2). T1 Solar Panels pre-Ore Extractor, because the T2s require aluminum which can be a bit scarce until you get the first ore extractor. Some players complain about how power plants and machines can be placed anywhere in the world, and how that is unrealistic, but I like that mechanic: It removes a lot of busywork of messing with wiring and fiddling with placement, and/or cluttering your base up with lots of ugly machines. I still find myself building machines near my base when I don't need to out of sheer habit but I've been getting better with that lately. It's a very refreshing change from other games of having to worry about having stuff placed in the right places. I think in TPC, the only things that you need to care about where they are placed are the mapping screens (since they only show you a map centered on the screen's location), and anything having to do with water (because, well, duh, you need to put these on the surface of water), and the ore extractor (different locations give you different ores). The rest? plop it down whereever. Make a small shed in various locations and stick heaters and stuff in them to make them an o2 rest stop and a box to store heaters in, lol.

If the progression is satisfying it gets a pass for me and i was not dissapointed even in its early stage and it is rough for now. I stopped playing because i don't want the to exhaust myself before the full release and dip into it again in maybe 4-6 month. Definitely a game to keep watch!
These DRG references give me nothing but a smile on my face and a ROCK AND STONE in my chest.
ROCK AND STONE, BROTHER!
DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE
Aerodynamic, I like it!
Rock and stone to the bone!
ROCK. AND. STOOONE!
Brice & Amelie appear to be a couple. Imagine livin a dream like that, just a duo able to make good games together with synergistic skills and asperations that line up.
never said it before, but the way you use your camera/body positioning in these fast pace documentary like videos is sublime. Because even if you make yourself big as to cover a 25% of the screen, you leave the right amount of video in the background so that someone can flawlessly watch the video behind you and switch to you to look your expressions or reactions big and clear. Good editing!!!!
Bonus points of panic was achieved when one of the tracks ended with a tune very similar to the start of the "End Times" from "Outer Wilds". I was fully ready to just get blown up with the whole star system because of it.
I'm compelled to say ROCK AND STONE
now i'll go back to my hole
ROCKITY ROCK AND STONE
Imagine when Bricky really touches the most dopamine rush game ever that is Dyson Sphere Program. That game made my wife leave me, and I found a new wife, called Dyson Sphere Program.
I still don't understand how I have 250+ hours in that game. It sucked me in so hard at one point, unfortunately I petered out before truly getting white cubes online. Just started up a new save to start generating Metadata for the combat update (though I'm probably going to restart again, finding that my starter planet has a distinct lack of land, so many oceans and lakes).
Edit: Yes, I know 250 hrs are rookie numbers, but that's a lot for me
@@TheLegomann97 it's not rookie numbers, it's more than the majority of people will ever spend on a single game.
@@BuffiestFluff Some clock literally thousands of hours in this game, I was comparing myself to them. I know the majority of players don't make it past 100 hours, I was being facetious
@@BuffiestFluff 250 is not alot. At all.
@@TheLegomann97 That game is insane, my first LP is 100 hours, I did tons of wrong, got to build the Dyson Sphere but could see how to improve a lot, my second LP was about that too but way more performant, still room for improvement, my third one is 70 hours and running, and I can see room for improvement.
There's no challenge other than you wanting to improve the processes, it's bizarre how good it feels.
Also the end result of every LP is VERY PRETTY and SATISFYING.
As a Planet Crafter player... this is so true it is addictive
Do it. Fall into Factorio, you will come out in five years with an addiction and a dream of a fully optimized rail system.

I really hope to see the day we see Bricky give his views on Deep Rock Galactic... he really seems to be digging it from all those Rock n Stones XD
As someone who's been playing this since late December - Early January, it's so hype to see bigger channels promoting this sleeper of a game
did i hear a ..... ROCK AND STONE?!
Rock and stone in the heart!

Who else would watch him play Factorio and Satusfactory?
The Factory must grow.
Tonite on brick gear:
Bricky, gets addicted on dopamine overflow.
Brick doesnt hate 2 french People anymore
And brickus is farming virtual grass.
I played the demo for about 45mins then just bought the game. I’ve made it to 100% Achievements and waiting for the next update. It is fun and relaxing
I had just picked up your Planet Crafter playlist this week! Glad to see there is a fourth episode to watch now. Always a good time to watch someone else having a good time.

Can’t wait for Bricky to fall down the factorio rabbit hole
Planet Crafter: “hey can I copy your homework?”
Subnautica: “sure just change it up a bit”
Planet Crafter is definitely going on my wishlist as someone who has just hit their 500th hour in Satisfactory. I will say to be careful with Satisfactory because once I make a new save, it's like I time traveled 100 hours foreword in time and now I have a sick factory. Plus the devs are the most communicative I've seen in a game ever, and very clearly wants to make a game with the community, more than for it.
Satisfactory and Factorio are both the kind of game that work very similarly to actual drugs. You boot them up on a Friday evening for some “fun” and suddenly it’s 2 am on a Monday and you’re trying to get your newest Bus line set up for that last push to the next tech tier an-
"I haven't played No Mans Sky"
"Similar to games you played: NMS, 32 Hrs"
My 1st thought of this game was: "Satisfactory".... Legit looks exactly the same but with 40% of the things in the planet trying to kill you.
It really does. I might give it a try though.
The premise is kind of reverse Satisfactory. Instead of making the planet worse, you're trying to make things better. The gameplay loop looks very similar, though- but not too similar, I think, given said premise flip.
@@topazs.5492 From what bricky says the biggest difference is the rate of automation.
In satisfactory, you will only manually extract resources for like, 20 minutes before you get (portable) miners going
After this video I REALLY need one on Factorio from you. It may grip you, but it grips you for a reason, and the insane polish on the game is just *chef's kiss*
I remember playing the demo for this a while ago. It was a lot of fun! I'm curious to see what the game holds now!
Honestly the demo kinda left me unimpressed. Idk why then, some months later, I decided to pirate it. Then I binged it for days. Whenever I had free time, I'd get on this game. Then I bought it on steam when it went on sale. I'm currently waiting for the next update.
1:50 I hear rock and stone, I scream rock and stone. Rock and Stone.
Damn, bricky should never play factorio.

I would love to see a follow-up video for Planet Crafter when they add in the cooperative mode. They have added a ton since this video
Hi everyone, were gonna get right into it! "tHiS ViDeO iS sPoNSoReD bY!!!"
Hey Bricky ;), there is this new game called Shatterline, a dev-published call of duty like game with an interesting pve rogue-like mode. The devs are very connected to the community and take advice from us very often. It would be amazing if you tried it out and if you think the game is worth your while, even make a video about it. The devs deserve all the support in the world and support from a big content creator would mean a lot since they do not have a publisher. I hope to see you in a future video about it. Anyways keep up the good work, been really loving the content you’ve been putting out lately, lots of love
Plz to a video on DRG
Thanks fôr Feedbáck, Congratulation yôu have selécted âs the winner for the ôngòing ps5 giveaway,telegram ônly to cláim yóur prize👆👆.
I love Bricky's random DRG references lmfao. I'm surprised he's never done a video on it. Though I guess there's very little about this game that hasn't been praised up and down already
Calling this game "not yet ready" doesn't fully describe its condition. The word I'd use here is... well, _raw._ Idk what it'll be in 5 years, but I'm not in the mood to stay and find out. And I wonder if the developer is in the mood for that themselves?
Great review. I had the same reaction and opinions as you, and also decided to get it due to being an Indie game in Early Access with a lot of reviews and falling under Overwhelmingly Positive, which as stated is VERY rare.
I think it having such a high rank is precisely due to how the biggest issue with games, nowadays, is Game Design. Companies throw a lot of resources towards Art, coding and even writing (!!!) nowadays, but raw Game Design and its subjectivities (flow, feel, balancing, subjective progression) gets left behind - likely due to to trying to fit projects in a certain box, scope or timeframe.
When a game hits this design sweetspot nowadays, it gets positive reviews despite its roughness - which would have completely doomed a game project just a few years ago.
Hopefully this trend continues and it becomes easier to find gems as the reviews will reflect the core quality of the game, rather than having games be dumped due to not looking AAA with the budget of 2 dollars and a sandwich.
Yesss , i love this game and i have been so focused on it the last week its crazy. I stared it months ago then got distracted and came back after more updates. So far i am at the keys but i wont spoil anything for anyone. The way i can create and see the changes firsthand both initially and long tern keep me coming back for more. Its a great game to play on stream because it offers hours of game play and peaceful entertainment.
I don't like that you are blocking a good portion of the screen.. but I love that you're excellent at explaining the depth of this game. Thank you for the excellent explanation + Review. and detailed info, and knowledge of the creators.
Oh how we all long for the day that Bricky just VANISHES from life, only to emerge 6 month later, malnourished, pale and exhausted, but with 3hr long video of Factorio.
You know it's coming.
Don't know which came first but this feels like Terraforming Mars: The First Person Experience
For anyone interested: They are out of Early Access now and the game is just as rough around the edges. More good content though.
Ooo, this is a fantastic game. I snagged it a few days after it was dropped on steam, and had been playing it off and on for a while. It's grown quite a bit, with community feeback and dev work. When I saw you streaming it I had a feeling we'd either get a video about it or a themed video talking about it partially. ^^
dude im hooked..
i played the demo for 1h and insts bought it.
this game just has it.
it is so simple but also so rewarding and enjoying and fun to build and explore and then do even more of it to get more and see more and...
aaah so good!
Bricky's in-video ads are the only YT's I don't skip through
also Timberborn is overwhelmingly Positive (95%) and really satisfying when you manage to survive each drought, btw. at 7:36 you convinced me to check it out, thanks
Piss orange sky? If your piss looks like that, you need to drink more. 🤣
Great video! Just brought the game and loving it.
Small indie airships conquer the skies. Watch as a crewmate gets hit with a cannonball through the hole in the armor and think "man i shoulda added more bunks" cause guess what YOU design the ships!!!
The funny thing for me is, when I got planet crafter i found out how great the mechanicus ost is and well... A new core memory
I had the same experience with Mon Bazou over a year ago. It seemed like an interesting game, had overwhelmingly positive reviews, so I bought it. I thought I got scammed when I first started playing it, but after about ten hours I was absolutely obsessed. Making a maple syrup empire, growing weed and potatoes, raising favor with your mom and neighbors, building your car, all of these are extremely slow processes that eventually snowball into this addictive loop, and at some point Mon Bazou was the only thing I could think about
Whenever I see your face, I always hear "Shotgun knees," in the background
Amphibians to Mammals is a GRIND, but it teaches you to re-organize and spread OUT. It's a Terra-former game, meaning all zones need the love. Quickly becoming one of my favorite games at 120 hours into it. The discovery of the ancients who came before you was the icing on the cake.
Really? You can get to mammals? I thought they throttled it because they hadn't developed that far
Gotta say: that stiff right arm stuck in the corner of your view does give me a bit of nostalgia for early 3d fps games.
Barely booping a giant fuckoff gun up and down as you casually mow down hordes of.. shittily programed enemies... ah the good old days
Factorio: The factory must grow
Planet Crafter: The planet must grow
PLEASE FACTORIO VIDEO
PLEEEEEEEEEEAAASE
Great video, very well said. I got hooked on this game when it first hit Early Access, and eagerly await each update. Planet Crafter is the ultimate time sink, because you easily get lost in the flow of it all. The fact it is being made by a 2-person team is mind blowing.
Since this review, the game has snowballed in great gameplay mechanics, all of which are paced well and feel both insurmountable yet you are comforted by the fact you learned how to get to that point and overcome it to. And the story is awesome, I won't get into specifics, but it's really weird and cool.
Hey Bricky, if you liked this game, you may like a game called Genesis Alpha One. It’s a space sim/base builder where you create your own ship and fend off aliens and such. You can even go planetside to gather materials. It’s not exactly the same, but I think you would like it.
I love Planet Crafter and this video definitely helped me to put it into words why I do, despite how rough it is around the edges. I think in essence, Planet Crafter is almost more like an incremental game. It gives you that dopamine boost that something like Cookie Clicker does, except in a game you can run around in.
I know it is early access but dude, this is one of early access game that I really looking forward to. The end goal was so satisfying and also all of these crafting make sense once you learned that there was a story about it.
Yeah, I could feel that into my soul what you mean by *_"It has to be by the Balls."_*
1:48 the real golden goose of this channel will be the drg video that hope to god comes out at some point
This would be perfect in VR
I love how if you've been partaking in both Bricky's personal content and Adeptus Ridiculous for the past year and a half or so you can FEEL exactly when Bricky started playing DeepRock Galactic. No joke.
I dare you, find it for me.
I already know when that was!
This is why I love your videos bricky. You play a game, you like it, you share it with us. There’s some genuine passion behind these videos and all of us can feel it. Far too uncommon these days on TH-cam. Keep up the good work man !
Genuinely can't wait to see Bricky play Satisfactory. We will never see that man again afterwords.
Same lol
So I suppose this is it. The end of Bricky videos, consumed by the time machine that is Factorio.
It was a good run, RIP buddy.
1:13 makes me happy knowing that Bricky doesn't have HOI4 and therefore is a fully functional human being.
I hope Bricky plays Space Engineers someday. It literally became my daytime job when service work was on hold during the beginning of the pandemic. 8-12h a day of gaming for two weeks stright xD It's my favourite survival game of all time
The 'piss orange sky' actually does make somewhat sense, it could be assumed that solar winds have stirred up large amounts of the planets orange dust.
1:51 DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE?
blue sky makes clouds, clouds make rain, rain makes corn, corn makes whiskey, and whiskey makes my baby, feel a little tipsy.
could you imagine if our dangerous mission space programs consisted of death row prisoners who are given high levels of training to terraform a planet. the idea of this game alone has me interested.
With just a bit better of graphics and polished collisions , this could easily be one of the more satisfying games ive ever played
It would be satisfactory levels of satisfaction. honestly, satisfactory has one of the best moving mechanics of all games.
My phone speakers cut out for a few seconds when you were talking about audible.
Ironic.

@@lindenchasteen_youtuber kindly, piss off.
Awesome vid, you convinced me. Never played Subnautica, but I have hundreds of hours in No Man’s Sky. While the game mechanics (minus the terraformation index) may not be the most ‘original’ thing in the world, the fact that it was made by 2 people makes me want to support it even more, idk why. That website was so wholesome, and I really hope the devs are enjoying all the positive attention their game has gotten. And hopefully they make bank from it lol
"While I haven't played no man's sky..."
Literally 20 seconds later:
Games you've played: *No man's sky*
Factorio is gonna rend and shred this man's entire qualia supply, one by one.
love your videos brick, the new content the past couple years have been amazing and have loved seeing your videos evolve over the years
ultimate drug : playing factorio for the first time... when space age dlc releases. oh my god i envy you bricky
Compared to Satisfactory this game has two advantages:
1. You can see the world change around you.
2. This game can run on potatoes.
I wasnt sold till I saw the planet actually terraforms as you progress. I love that kinda shit where the game world changes based on your actions.
It's okay Bricky... Satisfactory and Factorio will eventually be making you sing "The Factory Must Grow".
OH SHOOT THE SUNS UP!
Rock And Stone BROTHER
only invideo ads i don't skip, great voice, great intusiasm also interesting stuff
This is my first video of yours after, like you, finding Planet Crafter randomly scrolling through the automation tab on Steam. I really do think that you would love Satisfactory. I feel similarly about its progression as you were talking about in your video. However, it has the experience absolutely locked in. Everything is an experience. I play a lot of these games, and also like you, I am willing to forgive a lot if the core gameplay is good. I'm cool with building stuff just appearing, but you're in for a treat the first time you place down the Space Elevator and watch that glorious animation. And the sound. Everything you do sounds meaning full. From the building sounds to like the KA CHONKACHONK of pulling levers is just perfect. And little things in the game play. Wish you could type in the number instead of using the slider? You can. Wish you could just search for what you want? You can. Need a calculator? Press N. You got one. And it's a search bar to help you with anything in the game. It's phenomenal. And the great thing is it's not even fully done yet! If you ever find yourself with like five to seven... hundred hours, you would love just exactly how well the game teases your dopamine glands so perfectly that you might just be willing to let your boss fire you and your wife leave because goddamnit you need 84 fuel generators to power your new factory and that's going to take 31 refineries to process the raw oil into turbo fuel... but it's gonna give you like 1,200 mw of capacity. So take that, you stupid aluminum factory!
Sorry, I'm back. One time my wife said I was saying a bunch of numbers in my sleep and asked if I knew what it was all about. "45, 45, 90. Yeah I think that's right" is an example she gave. Throughput. Glorious, glorious productivity. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is if you're the type of person who could let a game take over their lives, you should absolutely just take the needle and put it into your arm and just like... do it. You won't.
This is already gone on way too long, but if you're still with me: Update 7 made it a lot easier to not give your life over to it.... as much. After you unlock blueprints, which is pretty early on, you can have much shorter sessions designing different parts of your factory. Then with longer play sessions, build your factories and explore. There is also multiplayer, so if you have friends who would play with you it's a great time.
But anyways, thank you for this video. I think I will definitely be checking Planet Crafter out further. You did a wonderful job translating the experience and I'm very intrigued now. Cheers
Someone get Dunkey on the line! Assuming they're not already spoken for, they seem like the exact project BigMode was made for!
Loved the video Bricky! I passed over this game previously, but I gotta add it to my wishlist now!
Came across this randomly, just wanted to let you know that the game has added a good bit of content, still rough looking but a lot more end game material has been added, not sure where it was at a year ago. There are teleporters, insects, fish, mammals, and exploring alien POI's. New biomes with new materials, just a lot of mid to end game stuff that is a ton of fun. I agree with your assessment that this game's progression is perfect, it is very addictive and very fun if you wanted to dip back in and see what's new!
The editing is so hilarious, keep up the good work!
The thing about Planet Crafter, is that there is *never* a time in the game where you are not achieving something, unless you run out of power (which only happens if you place too many power consumption items). There's always a way out (deconstruct whatever you just crafted, or make more power generators if you have available materials). So, anytime you are trying to do anything in the game, you are making progress -- Heat, Pressure, O2 are all going up and so is the TI by extension. So, are you walking around gathering materials? TI is going up and making progress towards unlocking stuff that you can build to get *more* TI. Are you exploring a ship? Are you just walking from place to place? During all of that, you are still making passive progress. The entire game is all about "how can I make that passive progress, Faster?" But the Food and Hunger mechanics are there to make sure you can't just sit AFK in your base and exploit the passive progress without at least some work. Now, later on when you get things like the water collector or water purifiers, and when you get enough Food Growers that you no longer need Space Food, you can just check the game every 5-10 minutes, but progress would be extremely slow without building new stuff because of the way the progress meters actually work. It uses the Metric System, like you start out with TI then you get to kTI, then MTI, then GTI. Sure, ticking up by 0.50 kTI seems fast... until you hit 1 MTI and the meter stops moving all the sudden because it takes 20 seconds to get 0.01 MTI.
Also, yes, the rockets stack but they give you diminishing returns so you can't just launch 100 of each rocket and get 50 MTI/sec from just rockets, it doesn't work like that. After about 3-5 rockets it really slows down the gains from each rocket, and at that point the only reason to do them is to get more Uranium/Iridium if you're running low on it.
Guess what I'm trying to say is that the game _wants_ to give you reasons to work towards building stuff you just unlocked, and the game makes sure that you won't be using obsolete tech because each tier of items is made in such a way that there's (almost) never a reason to use outdated tech with a few exceptions:
1). Windmills: I use these as markers so I don't get lost as much, marking hard to find stuff, like caves. They're tall and easily seen from a distance and only cost 1 iron.
2). T1 Solar Panels pre-Ore Extractor, because the T2s require aluminum which can be a bit scarce until you get the first ore extractor.
Some players complain about how power plants and machines can be placed anywhere in the world, and how that is unrealistic, but I like that mechanic: It removes a lot of busywork of messing with wiring and fiddling with placement, and/or cluttering your base up with lots of ugly machines. I still find myself building machines near my base when I don't need to out of sheer habit but I've been getting better with that lately. It's a very refreshing change from other games of having to worry about having stuff placed in the right places.
I think in TPC, the only things that you need to care about where they are placed are the mapping screens (since they only show you a map centered on the screen's location), and anything having to do with water (because, well, duh, you need to put these on the surface of water), and the ore extractor (different locations give you different ores).
The rest? plop it down whereever. Make a small shed in various locations and stick heaters and stuff in them to make them an o2 rest stop and a box to store heaters in, lol.
