@@DataEngineerPlays I'm a programmer by trade (which probably also explains why I like factory games - it's just visualized programming) and train trainees and juniors. It's always nice to see the "Eureka"-moments after some struggle. You posted a ton more videos, so I'm sure you're going to figure it out from where I am at in 'the timeline'. Keep up the good work!
I haven't subbed to a new gaming creator in forever, but you deserve it, good quality commentary and videos, will be following along the series, good luck on your journey
Made the mistake of watching this while playing. Heard the task completion ding and started deleting my factory before the shapes even made it halfway to the vortex. 🤦♂
he also ignored to simply go up and down between layers :-) layers can be like generalized bridges and tunnels. when i rewatched the video, i noticed that the game even played a video to demonstrate Q and E by building a bridge :-) my main use for launchers (that i TILled this morning) is to create gaps in a massive wall of stacked belts.
I think you could speed things up by unlocking the cutter. You're using the destroyer, which erases half of the input, using the cutter you might use both halfs of shapes
Like XoneFobic said: "It's both painful and hilarious" watching him puzzle as to why a belt wasn't saturated when there was this flashing yellow alert screaming at him that there was an issue with his belts. As a programmer, I can't continue with code I am writing until all the errors AND warnings are resolved. He had two warnings by 21:00 and he still didn't know what was going on. I have to wonder if he is a 'DataEngineer' by trade or by name...
@@DataEngineerPlays To be fair, it was a little frustrating watching you slide past the flashing yellow warning several times wondering why the belt wasn't saturated. After working out some other shapes and such, you just zapped that section of the factory that had the warning and moved on. I probably shouldn't judge all that much. I started playing Shapez 2 after watching Nilaus who has an understanding of factory games second to none. I'm still having stumbles trying to get sub-factories to fit in the Space Platforms (is that the correct name) that he does. I resort to grabbing his blueprints and save files.
@@DataEngineerPlays No, thank you for recording your run thru! It's always nice to see someone else's perspective of a game. I could never be as good as Nilaus either. Since you are going though the "Normal" factories option after the tutorials instead of the hard which I might do on a second or fourth run. It will be very interesting to see how you approach the upcoming challenges. Seriously, thank you for doing what I just don't have the chops for, recording let's play videos here on TH-cam. I have tried, I am seriously no good at it.
enjoyed. ^-^ even if there were things I would have done differently. lol, how many videos will it be before your can go back down with a conveyor, effectively giving your a bridge to cut over or under another conveyor.
good luck, it's definitely a rewarding career. Always be curious, never stop learning! Also enjoy the series, you'll see me apply a lot of software engineering concepts as I play
@@DataEngineerPlays but you skipped over one basic concept : *_RTFM_* :-) for example, right in the beginning, the game told you "you can find the number of needed machines in the top right corner" [already before you wanted to speed it up by adding more than the needed and suggested amount, and even wanted to build a spreadsheet], and when introducing Q and E to switch levels, it played a video that built a bridge [but later you thought it would be impossible to cross belts]. in your defense: lots of info in a completely new game, talking, recording and creating for youtube at the same time, and you relatively quickly still found it and corrected (most of) the mistakes, which other people often don't do. hint : on the page with the updates, each update has lots of details, eg that the "belt update" applies to belts, rotator, etc and thus of course the ratio of "rotators per belt" stays constant (unless a bug would have bad numbers and increase them by different percentages with the same single upgrade). _later we can see that the numbers for one upgrade in one level (eg belt level 3) might match the numbers for a different upgrade at another level (eg color level 1), but if i remember correctly this applies mostly or only to colors that are enabled only later and thus their apparent level lags behind, showing a lower level digit for corresponding number values._
you have a fare amount of videos up on this game so far but I noticed a small over site that I also made. The ramp tool in the belts menu can be used any where, not just between platforms. it is a set distance so it isn't always ideal but it is very helpful especially early on before you unlock stackers.
many people add the newest video to the top of their playlists so that it's easier to find it when you have bookmarked the playlist. but with working notifications (LOL at youtube) that isn't necessary and makes it impossible to bingewatch the entire series without permanently skipping back/forward to the next in proper order. btw: i found this channel in youtube recommendations after watching many similar videos. the recommended video was "MaM part 1". I liked the way you explained logic and decided to watch your intelligent "blind playthrough" before Satis will take over my time next week :-) I'm just doing the last few crystal tasks, although i am at operator 0.3% and have 1400 spare research and 36k platforms available.
he figures most of it out later. I have the same issues, but remember that you are often in a much more knowledgable and advantageous position. You've probably already seen other videos of the game, and thus know more about the games mechanics, while he is playing with no prior experience. You also arent actually playing the game, meaning you are less susceptible to tunnel vision and more likely to notice things happening closer to the edges, whereas he has to focus on the specific challenges and tasks at hand and thus might miss crucial information. I know its hard, but try to be more forgiving to these people. Plus, its good exercise for your attention span, which is becoming an increasingly rare skill nowadays.
@@xavierburval4128honestly i just wish he actually took notice of the conflicts. Even I actually paid attention to the first warning sign that showed up on my screen as I knew it meant something was wrong while he seems to ignore it multiple times. Plus while the game tells him he only need 3 half destroyers per belt, he still places 6 thinking it will help.
It's both painful and hilarious seeing someone figuring out you already understand.
But, hope you're having fun!
Sub and like. Keep it up :)
Thanks so much! I hope im not frustrating you too much with my incompetence 😆

"I cannot cross belts!" he exclaimed as he keeps crossing belts.
Really enjoyed most of the video though ^^
Get ready for some spaghetti while I figure out how to play the game. I get better I promise 😆

welcome aboard!
Never mind. You figured it out a minute later.
What?
Pick any 5 minutes of the video, his comment will make sense.
Made the mistake of watching this while playing. Heard the task completion ding and started deleting my factory before the shapes even made it halfway to the vortex. 🤦♂
hahahaha!
“I have no way of crossing other belts yet”
*ignores launchers*
Launchers are a pain. Cannot change the jump size
he also ignored to simply go up and down between layers :-)
layers can be like generalized bridges and tunnels.

Maybe you're right, I've been so focused on spending my points on upgrading the speed stuff I've neglected useful tools that could make cooler builds
Yoooo i loved watching this game and your video, gonna watch the whole series. Shout out to Brazil😆
Notice that half destroyers are 1/3 of a belt when all the levels are the same and that rotators are 1/2 of one regardless of level

Haha probably more than you think I'm pretty slow at figuring stuff out..
'Why is this belt not saturating?' COMPLETELY IGNORES BIG TRINAGLE WARNING SIGN 21:30
😂
1:02:49 is killing me the half squares 😭😭😭
Just found u. I am also aiming to be an computer engineer and i love optimization so i love watching someone do it

Your playlist for Shapez 2 is in the wrong order. This is video number 5. Excellent series though.
Thanks! I will fix that up

I'm just doing the last few crystal tasks, although i am at operator 0.3% and have 1400 spare research and 36k platforms available.
i'm at milestone 9, operator level 73. now have randomized goals, easy to make, but they don't count up. What am I missing.
Check out my MAM series on my channel. You're suppose to use wires etc to build a factory that can automatically produce all random shapes
@@DataEngineerPlays thanks, the tool tip indicates that I can build them individually instead of a MAM
can you give it a try manually?
You should Play Satisfactory once 1.0 comes out
I'm totally keen for that. I really enjoyed satisfactory
Nice LP =)
you got a comment, sub and like for the algorythm
Thank you!
I could not watch past 09:07, it was too painfull 😅

I get better I promise 🤣
