I started playing again about 2 weeks ago and it's a game that once you get going (again) you just can't stop. I have done nothing with the combat and doubt I ever will, I just don't like combat mixed with my factory gaming. Now I just have to give these arthritic hands a break before getting back in the game. It's good to see you again.
I was the same. Been playing since it first came out and have "won" it several times. Had no interest in the dark fog. Finally broke down and tried it though. It actually brings out some new challenges and since you can tweak the combat settings it does help a lot there on whether combat is a focus (max settings) vs default settings (just one more thing to deal with). Something to consider. Oh, haven't 'finished' with combat. Still playing the combat playthroughs (one max one not) so far am having fun so will see if that stays that way!
@@BeenThrDunThat I was very skeptical, but it's honestly pretty decent combat wise. Forces you to split off some production, more spaghetti belts earlier and gives some more angles you have to cover. Really solid update imo
I came back half a month ago and play with dark fog game. It actually make the game more challenging and much more fun with blowing up those alien machines with several hundred missiles by planting only a signal tower.
Game is epic as hell. At the beginning it is a bit tricky wrapping your head on how to create efficient giga factories, but once you get the hang of it, its just beautiful.
DSP also has a really good soundtrack. There are a decent selection of mods with a number of nice QoL features, a wide selection of blueprints readily available to create anything from little production lines to entire Dyson spheres, and the configuration options let you choose anything from a relaxed little factory game where resources are plentiful and hazards non-existent to a desperate scramble to find every last speck of usable material while being inundated with endless hordes of enemies, to a mad dash to complete that ten hour speedrun achievement (somehow!?).
The thing I love about DSP is it's unabashed optimism about the limits of technology & the future of humanity. I find this sentiment (mainly found from Chinese & Indian creators) so refreshing.
@@Nyxson Yup, I notice this with their science fiction as well. They tend to be more optimistic about what technology can eventually achieve, and usually but not always more sunny about human nature as well. Three-Body Problem might be rather pessimistic about humanity but the sheer scale of technology in that story dwarfs anything out of recent western scifi, and Liu is one of the more cynical authors in the scene. But even further back, Japanese scifi (Ghost in the Shell, Pluto, etc) tends to be more sanguine about cyborgism & robots then Blade Runner or Cyberpunk.
@@Low_commotion3BP is a goat, def top 3 series I’ve ever read. Found the Chinese series adaptation of B1 compelling, the Netflix version quite underwhelmingly meh, but have optimism for the upcoming film adaptation. I just have no clue how either of these adaptations will handle the visual fx of Death’s End, lol.
Good video on DSP. I'm still in my 1st play-through with Dark Fog and have the difficulty for DF turned way down, to get used to dealing with them. In addition to the great internals of the game, the deep tech tree, and the freedom to actually fly anywhere in your Star Cluster, the game is really beautiful! There is nothing like the sight of the rapidly building Dyson Sphere and Dyson Swarm "rising" on a nearby planet and filling the entire sky with your creation that you have designed and are building. I just love this game, and I say that as a person with thousands of hours in Factorio, with all of the major mod-sets that I've played through. Factorio is good, but DSP is a whole other level of awesome!! Thanks for this video getting the word out about Dyson Sphere.
About factory games, this year is special. Why? Shapez 2 and factorio expansion pack. So factorio will get 2x better and if you played shapez 2 DEMO you know how good it is and it will only get better
The way the game runs is basically its rendering engine and lack of moving parts the problem with most grand scale games is not the matter of what you can see rather what you can't see basicly in this game when you leave a planet all the graphics and what not just become numbers no entity or anything like that because they are just values based on what is programmed on said planet hence why you cant see the planet buildings mostly from space until you enter it that is why the game does not blow up your computer and it gets more refined when you leave systems. In layman's terms your leaving 1 instance and entering another. As for the objects on the conveyor belts it is in fact just 1 object that uses a particle system that has been program to react to values on a belt hence why each belt line has a number attached to it this is because particles don't use up much processing as they are essential cloning a existing thing that is already in the game.
Please, please please learn to use punctuation. Your comment is completely incomprehensible. I'm sure you have something interesting to say, but it's unreadable.
One little tidbit, factory is not the pioneer of factory games. That would be modded Minecraft. The factorio creator has themselves said that they got the idea for factorio from modded Minecraft.
I personally played a bunch of DSP before the combat update (which is the reason why i recently picked the game back up again) and i feel like the the dark fog can get a bit annoying in the mid game once you start having power issues. For me personally DSP is a Zen game, if i want to fight i can just boot up factorio for that. I just love going at my own pace slowly building everything exploring the universe, making up my own story as i go on with the game. Dark fog is a good addition but makes it feel less creative and open kinda how new minecraft feels.
Interesting how I always hear factorio habing the reputation for being the pioneer of the genre when factory minecraft mods where already popular for a few years before factorio was even announced. Especially when you consider that modded minecraft never slowed down this whole time.
Started playing it 2 weeks ago and now can't stop playing , No more time to play my p2w or mmo games . My processor is core 2 duo and gpu is 1050 ti and 4 gb ddr2 ram and i'm close to unlock artificial star and this game still run so smooth , very very impressive . It 10/10 for me .
*_" My processor is core 2 duo and gpu is 1050 ti and 4 gb ddr2 ram and i'm close to unlock artificial star and this game still run so smooth"_* I don't believe one word of that. It seems your definition of "smooth" is totally different to mine. Smooth for me is anything that runs at 60fps ore more. With that hardware you wouldn't be able to do that, totally impossible, unless you made the factory rather small, but resulting in a very slow production process. Heck, you hardware would almost explode when you would build a larger Dyson Sphere.
definitely one of the better games to come around in the last decade or so. and shows you that, you don't need to pay for bug riddled, incomplete, unoptimized, broken messes that claim it's just like that because it's early access.
i got in the game because of the gigantic dyson sphere, but dam the process to building the dyson sphere from humble begginings to multiple planetary farming is just UTTERLY satisfying especially fighting with the dark fog
Mindustry is not a factorio clone, have you even played it? Talk about a hidden gem with suprising depth. They have put out a ton of updates and the multiplayer is wild.
I recently played Planet Crafter and loved the automation parts of it, now I have Factorio, Satisfactory and DSP on my wish list, god help the next 500 hours of my life
I've played DSP, Factorio, and Satisfactory and DSP's progression is alot easier compared to all of them. Recipes aren't super complex, you can get from point A to B easily without scaling a mountain, logistics is as simple as setting up a sending and receiving tower, and of course the fact that your progress is very obvious in the form of a shell encompassing a star instead of a checklist.
i dont think this means its better than factorio. But dyson sphere is definitely easier and more accessible. If you actually like complexity then nothing will beat factorio due to their freedom with modding and low graphical design standards gives them the freedom to expand on the gameplay as much as they want.
It's better than Factorio. As a matter of fact, on the list of highest ranked games on Steam, Dyson Sphere Program is ranked #40, Factorio is ranked #81
Fun fact: The developers of DSP said in very early logs that this game was being developed on a GTX 660 Ti. So even your GTX 980 is more than enough for this game.
This has as much elements from NMS as GTA 5 has elements from Call of Duty... very different genres and completely different gameplay. Not even comparable
I really really want to like the game, but i feel like once you got yourself a nice starter world and start to expand outwards the things you need to produce get so complex that it just becomes extremely difficult to keep up until your production ends up stalling and you stop, leading to the fun of expanding getting lost
elder scrolls online is a game for the average game with enough content to last several years if you take your time without hard grind, i played it for almost five years and never finished everything and its all voiced... like i can not explain just how amazing and large the elder scrolls online truly is, just try it, give it a go. i played it on xbox and i would continue playing but it lacks cross-play and or cross-save, my friends and i all moved to PC several years ago, i miss it allot.
Dysons Sphere Program is my number 2, Factorio still stays my Number 1. I find Dyson Sphere Program more complicated and a bit boring at the start and late game. But it's still one of the best games i played.
this game wasnt this good at first, It didnt have blueprints, no copypaste building with sorters onto belts, oh it was consuming, but we played it anyways XD
I always hit a wall with performance right when it gets good, i have fully built 3 stars and it just starts lagging hard. I don't know what to do, i have an rtx 2080 super with a good ryzen 7 and 32 gb of ram, so it really should'nt be lagging this early in the game... its really sad, and even with this limitation I've got a bit over 1k hours in it.
My question is this, I like factorio a lot. Why should I go play DSP when I have factorio? Before I buy anything new I always compare the new thing to other things that are similar and if i already have one of those similar things then the new thing must be so much better then what I have before I'd buy it. I still play and enjoy factorio regularly, I enjoy the puzzle and managing of my factory, If I'd play DSP I'd probably enjoy it because it is new but I can also just start a new game of factorio instead. Hope I made myself clear, thanks for showing off DSP.
One day you'll be sitting there building something when dawn slowly breaks on that side of the planet, and the sunrise is your own, hard-earned, custom-designed Dyson Sphere, making your entire planet look insignificant in comparison. The core mechanics are very similar to Factorio, so you'll feel right at home, and soon you'll have memorable experiences you can't get anywhere else.
i have about 168 hours (honestly doesn't feel like i have been playing it long compared to other people) and counting, in my second play through after the dark fog update. i'll be honest, i feel that factorio has a lot more depth in its logistics in with trains, bots and the ability to use wires and logic to configure things. actually, factorio is incredible in its quality and i think if you compare every factory game to it you will overlook the charms of the other games. plus, you can play something else while you wait for the factorio DLC. Dyson Sphere Program has its own unique flavour. when you first get into space you really get a better sense of scale of the solar systems. being able to fly through your dyson sphere and dyson swarm that always looms over you even when on a planet really reminds you of your progress. Its encouraged to go colonise other planets because a few expensive recipes actually get cheaper from new resources basically being shortcuts through production chains. power becomes a logistics problem as you can't just hook up a wire between planets, you need to transport batteries or fuel to transport electricity. after you get past the first couple of science cubes, you get planetary logistics and interplanetary logistics and its really fun trying to patch up all the bottlenecks you have and producing stuff en mass. The aesthetics of the game really gives that fuzzy feeling of watching all your materials flow through. another thing is, the game has been consistently improving. from the earliest updates the base game was good but there was a lot of tedium in base building but the devs have been adding quite a lot of quality of life things. i believe the next update will allow you to build space platforms in orbit. Dyson Sphere Program is its own game and stands up well.
Stellaris is more of management game with simple strategy and pretty simple straightforward mechanics. The problem with Stellaris for me is that playback loop is always the same it’s not dynamic or complex at all.
I have a question that I want help on. I’ve heard that resources deplete over time and if I run out at where I started my factory will I have to move out and find another node. I come from satisfactory and I’m used to unlimited resources. Also how can I reconfigure my controls easier. I was trying to make right click look around and middle do what right used to but I couldn’t figure out how.
Yes, resources do deplete, but you won’t have to move the factory, you will simply mine resources from other nodes on the same planet or even other planets and star systems and set up logistics to deliver them. Can’t say anything about controls though
I really like DSP, but I feel like it copied way too much from Factorio without really thinking about why they made their game that way. The whole science system is just lifted from Factorio, the first tier conveyor belts even have the same crafting recipies lol! As a result of this I fell into the same trap I did with Factorio, my factory just became too inefficient to maintain and I lost interest in playing as a result. I criticize DSP like this because Satisfactory managed to make a factory game that is unique, eg they didn't copy core features from other titles. Don't get me wrong I don't think DSP is bad (I love it in fact!) but there are times I feel like I'm just playing goofier Factorio. The space stuff I can't complain about however, that shit is god tier!!
factory building games and the first clip you show is Subnautica? wtf that's NOT a factory building its not even a building game its a bloody survival game
This is not a game, IT IS A FUCKING DRUG, by how fucking good it is and im addicted to it in an almost unhealthy relationship (with a self cure after you reached the end goal of building the sphere, as once that is done and you got enough production capabilitie to produce mass sphere parts etc. It gets boring and bland quite fast (after onr or two months to just get to that stage) and you can easily quit the addiction, at least so it was before dark fog was in, now im checking out how it is currently (im so sorry dark fog, so sorry for how im gonna massacrate and anhialate your progess just for my pleasure)
I just want to say that 99 percent of factorio's negative reviews are about the games price, I still think that dsp is a great game, but I still think factorio is better. Also factorio's space age expantion will also probably be relased this year.
Glad this popped up on my feed..benefit of being subscribed. I had played it a very long time ago but only for about an hour or so. Reinstalled just now.
Nonsense, at the most they're similar. One major difference: Dyson Sphere Program is a very good looking game, Factorio and that mod however isn't, they're rather ugly, and I can't stand ugly games.
got a sudden love for planetary scale buildings, too bad the game is 71.99 zł in poland so i can't buy it rn lol these videos seem really well made tbh, actual effort put into them keep it up fam :)
Absolutely yes! one of my favorite games of the last 5 years, a real masterpiece if they had improved English translation and voice acting, it would be perfect
One thing I would correct you on, is that the game is well-performing. Don't get me wrong, it is magic that it's working as well as it is, once you get into the late game and start building dyson spheres the performance tanks quickly. The namesake of the game is a performance hog. If you can help it in any way build the smallest possible sphere. In my opinion that makes the super-late-game a little sad. Since you'd want to build dyson spheres all over the place, if only for the lolz. But they imact the performance so hard that you really don't want to, unless you don't mind playing with a slowdown of 50% like myself with one super dyson sphere that was only still in construction...
You definitely forgot to mention the fact this is a early access where the price isn't the full price (probably). Now a days you get these broken games with little content for 50 - 60 euros, like kerbal space program 2.
Oh this game is on my “play forever” gsme (its thumbnail will be on my desktop for infinity). Dyson spheres program is beautiful and sooooo good. It gets complicated in some parts, but only later in game.
2:28 no issues .... looks at filesize of my saved game aproching 800GB ... yep no issues 10/10 XD that and it crashes from time to time but letsbe real what game dosent not an issue 7:54 as little as 60 hours ... one of the achevements is beat the game in 10 hours or less true thats not the end but meh semantics XD
Yeah, This game is incredibly optimized. It played well on a computer where I had a graphics card bottle neck. Every other game would stutter, But the one that stuttered the least was of course this game. I have NO idea how the devs managed it.
This video is pretty good, made me get DSP finally, seemed like my kind of game and your enthusiasm tipped the scales. That being said, from how you describe Mindustry at 0:52, I feel like you never played it and simply looked at some screenshots before just deeming it a clone and moving on. Saying Mindustry is a Factorio clone is like saying Enter the Gungeon is a Binding of Isaac clone. Yeah, they are both top-down shooter roguelikes where you progress through stages while collecting guns, and Gungeon devs even confirmed they took inspiration from Isaac, but call Gungeon a clone and people from both games communities will come to the conclusion you've played neither game and have no clue what you're talking about. The point of Mindustry and the point of Factorio are completely different. Factorio is about constant expansion, always making improvements, making better designs, taking territory for more production, a research cycle. Mindustry is technically a factory game where you technically research things to make progress, but it's WAY more focused on the tower defense aspect. Hell, the maps are pretty tiny compared to most (Really, all) factory games because fighting the enemies in the arena is the point, not endless expansion. The main community around it is based on PvP, not optimizing for the campaign or anything for the most part, because again, COMBAT is the focus. Just because they're both 2D factory games doesn't make one a clone of the other. I'm not even a Mindustry fanboy, I think its a decent game, but regardless of whether you like the game or not, calling something a CLONE is a very specific and damning thing that directly undermines a game or its players. If you dont want to royally piss off game communities left and right I suggest not using that word just for hyperbole. Just look at the Completionist's video on Okami and scroll to the comments to see an extreme example. I hope I haven't come across as too harsh, I really did like your video and I'm grateful to have been shown a game I probably wouldn't have gotten otherwise. Just felt like it had to be said.
Maybe I said that to make you write this comment 😎😎 No I didn't 😊 I just said it wrong… once I called Terraria “Minecraft in 2d” so…. Yeah… I am man enough to admit I was wrong 😊
@@Nyxson Yikes! Now THATS a classic way to get assassins sent to your doorstep! In all seriousness, still a good video and it really isn’t too big a deal, but I still think it’s good practice to be careful with those kinds of claims. Games, regardless of their popularity, deserve a fair description if nothing else. Thanks for taking it well!

Oh, so any game that takes place in space is now similar to No Man's Sky? What kind of a clown are you?
This is a Spore Space Age Spiritual Sequel
Minecraft mods like Gregtech and EnderIO pre-date factorio by a LONG way. They have millions of downloads each.
Gregtech is a really bad mod.
So, it has some No Man's Sky elements to it except you don't have to drive a spaceship and you don't build mega structures in No Man's Sky.

Dysons Sphere Program is my number 2, Factorio still stays my Number 1. I find Dyson Sphere Program more complicated and a bit boring at the start and late game. But it's still one of the best games i played.
DSP is legit so much fun.
I'm loving DSP.
this game wasnt this good at first, It didnt have blueprints, no copypaste building with sorters onto belts, oh it was consuming, but we played it anyways XD
Forgot to talk about autosave giving a hick everytime
I started playing just a week ago and the spaggeti is getting out of control
Use logistics towers. Don't play it like other factory games, or you will get spaghetti (that's how you spell the word).
@@user-rk9kb2sd9b I never got them Im on my way to get them though
I stoppend playing this game because I noticed it completely drained all my energy. It was literally chippin' away at my health. It's too good :-).
Navigated around a huge ball became extremely nauseating. Good thing we don't experience that on our planet due to it's size >.>
If you like Dyson, you should try Autonauts. It's good.
No, it isn't.
@@user-rk9kb2sd9b Yes it is
I always hit a wall with performance right when it gets good, i have fully built 3 stars and it just starts lagging hard. I don't know what to do, i have an rtx 2080 super with a good ryzen 7 and 32 gb of ram, so it really should'nt be lagging this early in the game... its really sad, and even with this limitation I've got a bit over 1k hours in it.
I have a good amount of hours into it. good game
My question is this, I like factorio a lot. Why should I go play DSP when I have factorio?
Before I buy anything new I always compare the new thing to other things that are similar and if i already have one of those similar things then the new thing must be so much better then what I have before I'd buy it. I still play and enjoy factorio regularly, I enjoy the puzzle and managing of my factory, If I'd play DSP I'd probably enjoy it because it is new but I can also just start a new game of factorio instead.
Hope I made myself clear, thanks for showing off DSP.
One day you'll be sitting there building something when dawn slowly breaks on that side of the planet, and the sunrise is your own, hard-earned, custom-designed Dyson Sphere, making your entire planet look insignificant in comparison. The core mechanics are very similar to Factorio, so you'll feel right at home, and soon you'll have memorable experiences you can't get anywhere else.
i have about 168 hours (honestly doesn't feel like i have been playing it long compared to other people) and counting, in my second play through after the dark fog update. i'll be honest, i feel that factorio has a lot more depth in its logistics in with trains, bots and the ability to use wires and logic to configure things. actually, factorio is incredible in its quality and i think if you compare every factory game to it you will overlook the charms of the other games. plus, you can play something else while you wait for the factorio DLC.
Dyson Sphere Program has its own unique flavour. when you first get into space you really get a better sense of scale of the solar systems. being able to fly through your dyson sphere and dyson swarm that always looms over you even when on a planet really reminds you of your progress. Its encouraged to go colonise other planets because a few expensive recipes actually get cheaper from new resources basically being shortcuts through production chains. power becomes a logistics problem as you can't just hook up a wire between planets, you need to transport batteries or fuel to transport electricity. after you get past the first couple of science cubes, you get planetary logistics and interplanetary logistics and its really fun trying to patch up all the bottlenecks you have and producing stuff en mass. The aesthetics of the game really gives that fuzzy feeling of watching all your materials flow through.
another thing is, the game has been consistently improving. from the earliest updates the base game was good but there was a lot of tedium in base building but the devs have been adding quite a lot of quality of life things. i believe the next update will allow you to build space platforms in orbit. Dyson Sphere Program is its own game and stands up well.
stellaris has entered the chat
Stellaris is more of management game with simple strategy and pretty simple straightforward mechanics. The problem with Stellaris for me is that playback loop is always the same it’s not dynamic or complex at all.
I can't deal with the high latitude grid
Well....after i "colonize" 3 systems my fps tanks (14-15 max)!
Im waiting for a stronger pc to resume playing DSP but yes this game is awesome!!!
Dyson spheres are now real ☠️
Right so where's your playthrough? :)
I actually can run it on a gtx 760.i mean 30 visual fps but absolutely insane still.
I have a question that I want help on. I’ve heard that resources deplete over time and if I run out at where I started my factory will I have to move out and find another node. I come from satisfactory and I’m used to unlimited resources. Also how can I reconfigure my controls easier. I was trying to make right click look around and middle do what right used to but I couldn’t figure out how.
Yes, resources do deplete, but you won’t have to move the factory, you will simply mine resources from other nodes on the same planet or even other planets and star systems and set up logistics to deliver them.
Can’t say anything about controls though
DSP, don’t starve, holomento, monster train, hades….
All time fsvorite newer games.
Man said "You play these games, you complete these games, and then you move on." And shows Monster Hunter gameplay 😆
i don't think he even mentioned the grafix lol
Help Guys my dark fog farm keeps jamming does anybody know a mod that adds a dustbin or know a solution?
Anyone know the name of the game that he shows a little after the 50 second mark?
He says on the video, mindustry.
@@MrWolfenbr i was reading the transcript which said my industry. Lol simple mistake
Holy shit you look like Luigi.
…..
I can live with that 😂
I have a feeling this game Runs on unity DOTS, not sure but it would be cool if someone could confirm.
I have 325 hours and reached the end game but still can't stop playing. 😐
Three body problem simulator?
Can I opt-out of enemies?
Yes you can
@@Nyxson thanks, and I’m sorry about the other comment.

I really like DSP, but I feel like it copied way too much from Factorio without really thinking about why they made their game that way. The whole science system is just lifted from Factorio, the first tier conveyor belts even have the same crafting recipies lol! As a result of this I fell into the same trap I did with Factorio, my factory just became too inefficient to maintain and I lost interest in playing as a result.
I criticize DSP like this because Satisfactory managed to make a factory game that is unique, eg they didn't copy core features from other titles. Don't get me wrong I don't think DSP is bad (I love it in fact!) but there are times I feel like I'm just playing goofier Factorio. The space stuff I can't complain about however, that shit is god tier!!
Did I get this right? You (somewhat) disliked the game because you played it just like other game and it didn't work? Did I get that right?

I stopped because it got to be more work than fun.
factory building games and the first clip you show is Subnautica? wtf that's NOT a factory building its not even a building game its a bloody survival game
It was shown BEFORE I started talking about Factory building games... And I know that Subnautica is not Factory building game
Borg simulator
I see you came here because of that news
???
This is not a game, IT IS A FUCKING DRUG, by how fucking good it is and im addicted to it in an almost unhealthy relationship (with a self cure after you reached the end goal of building the sphere, as once that is done and you got enough production capabilitie to produce mass sphere parts etc. It gets boring and bland quite fast (after onr or two months to just get to that stage) and you can easily quit the addiction, at least so it was before dark fog was in, now im checking out how it is currently (im so sorry dark fog, so sorry for how im gonna massacrate and anhialate your progess just for my pleasure)

Great info! Please speak slower. Thank you.
You could set it at .75 speed. If that is too slow, you can hit custom and slide it to, say, .90. Glad to help!
My problem is satisfactory, and dyson just both don't do it for me as a factory builder.
I have over a thousand hrs on dsp. Love the game so much. It always makes you think.
I just want to say that 99 percent of factorio's negative reviews are about the games price, I still think that dsp is a great game, but I still think factorio is better. Also factorio's space age expantion will also probably be relased this year.
Glad this popped up on my feed..benefit of being subscribed. I had played it a very long time ago but only for about an hour or so. Reinstalled just now.
Factorio has mod that is just like this except way more complex
Space exploration
Nonsense, at the most they're similar. One major difference: Dyson Sphere Program is a very good looking game, Factorio and that mod however isn't, they're rather ugly, and I can't stand ugly games.
@@user-rk9kb2sd9bwhat’s ur input in satisfactory?
It's the game I keep coming back to.
This game also have interesting worldwide leaderboard system that looks pretty
got a sudden love for planetary scale buildings, too bad the game is 71.99 zł in poland so i can't buy it rn lol
these videos seem really well made tbh, actual effort put into them
keep it up fam :)
first
Damn dude... even I didn't get notification of the video that fast 😂
Absolutely yes! one of my favorite games of the last 5 years, a real masterpiece
if they had improved English translation and voice acting, it would be perfect
It seems that only people constantly complaining about the English are people like you who talk English natively. You're a bunch of whiners.
One thing I would correct you on, is that the game is well-performing. Don't get me wrong, it is magic that it's working as well as it is, once you get into the late game and start building dyson spheres the performance tanks quickly. The namesake of the game is a performance hog. If you can help it in any way build the smallest possible sphere. In my opinion that makes the super-late-game a little sad. Since you'd want to build dyson spheres all over the place, if only for the lolz. But they imact the performance so hard that you really don't want to, unless you don't mind playing with a slowdown of 50% like myself with one super dyson sphere that was only still in construction...
Ha, I got it running on a GTX 950 only cause I cant afford a new graphics card. but I love the game...
Great video my friend.
You definitely forgot to mention the fact this is a early access where the price isn't the full price (probably).
Now a days you get these broken games with little content for 50 - 60 euros, like kerbal space program 2.
Oh this game is on my “play forever” gsme (its thumbnail will be on my desktop for infinity).
Dyson spheres program is beautiful and sooooo good.
It gets complicated in some parts, but only later in game.
This video made me subscribe because you seem like a very nice man and a happy guy
2:28 no issues .... looks at filesize of my saved game aproching 800GB ... yep no issues 10/10 XD
that and it crashes from time to time but letsbe real what game dosent not an issue
7:54 as little as 60 hours ... one of the achevements is beat the game in 10 hours or less true thats not the end but meh semantics XD
Yeah, This game is incredibly optimized. It played well on a computer where I had a graphics card bottle neck. Every other game would stutter, But the one that stuttered the least was of course this game. I have NO idea how the devs managed it.
They built the game on computers like yours. No joke.
This video is pretty good, made me get DSP finally, seemed like my kind of game and your enthusiasm tipped the scales.
That being said, from how you describe Mindustry at 0:52, I feel like you never played it and simply looked at some screenshots before just deeming it a clone and moving on. Saying Mindustry is a Factorio clone is like saying Enter the Gungeon is a Binding of Isaac clone. Yeah, they are both top-down shooter roguelikes where you progress through stages while collecting guns, and Gungeon devs even confirmed they took inspiration from Isaac, but call Gungeon a clone and people from both games communities will come to the conclusion you've played neither game and have no clue what you're talking about.
The point of Mindustry and the point of Factorio are completely different. Factorio is about constant expansion, always making improvements, making better designs, taking territory for more production, a research cycle. Mindustry is technically a factory game where you technically research things to make progress, but it's WAY more focused on the tower defense aspect. Hell, the maps are pretty tiny compared to most (Really, all) factory games because fighting the enemies in the arena is the point, not endless expansion. The main community around it is based on PvP, not optimizing for the campaign or anything for the most part, because again, COMBAT is the focus. Just because they're both 2D factory games doesn't make one a clone of the other.
I'm not even a Mindustry fanboy, I think its a decent game, but regardless of whether you like the game or not, calling something a CLONE is a very specific and damning thing that directly undermines a game or its players. If you dont want to royally piss off game communities left and right I suggest not using that word just for hyperbole. Just look at the Completionist's video on Okami and scroll to the comments to see an extreme example.
I hope I haven't come across as too harsh, I really did like your video and I'm grateful to have been shown a game I probably wouldn't have gotten otherwise. Just felt like it had to be said.
Maybe I said that to make you write this comment 😎😎
No I didn't 😊 I just said it wrong… once I called Terraria “Minecraft in 2d” so…. Yeah… I am man enough to admit I was wrong 😊
@@Nyxson Yikes! Now THATS a classic way to get assassins sent to your doorstep!
In all seriousness, still a good video and it really isn’t too big a deal, but I still think it’s good practice to be careful with those kinds of claims. Games, regardless of their popularity, deserve a fair description if nothing else. Thanks for taking it well!
