Factorio is a game about building and creating automated factories to produce items of increasing complexity, within an infinite 2D world. Use your imagination to design your factory, combine simple elements into ingenious structures, and finally protect it from the creatures who don't really like you.

1) Text for this video was corrected by maxer from our discord server.
He found 119 gramma mistakes, that I've made (btw the whole video have only 81 sentences)
So I hope you appreciate his work for making this video less "gramma butchered"
2) I've experimented with some sound effects, it's not perfect (I've literally forgot to put some of them xd),
but I hope I'll learn how to choose right one and when to use them
2:38
Why is the text in Russian if you don't speak Russian?
@@user-we3bk2hg4o I think author of the mod is Russian and this is a reason why everything is in Russian on his GitHub page
edit2: Just forget there was something here.
Hey yo I just wanna say something about mod #4
I think FNEI is just short for Factorio Not Enough Items, as you mentioned theres a mod called just enough items in Minecraft (JEI) but there's an extension for it call not enough item(nei) which I think is where the name came from
Sauce: www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/notenoughitems
@@CielMC this is correct. The mod page says Factorio NEI and considering FNEI does for Factorio what NEI does for Minecraft it is almost certain that the NEI is Not Enough Items
FNEI almost certainly stands for "Factorio Not Enough Items", like the popular NEI mod for minecraft, which was named after the earlier TMI (too many items) minecraft recipe lookup and inventory organisation mod
So everything started from minecraft, interesting :D
ah you was faster than me!
@@Trupen the progression so far is:
too many items -> not enough items -> just enough items
(if we count only the most popular ones, there are many more inspired mods. Hope i didn't miss any)
@@Trupen Yes, and Factorio itself was based on industrialcraft and buildcraft :)
@@dentjoener I spend thousands of hours in a modded minecraft, maybe this is why I also love factorio :D
Trupen: "I don't know what FNEI stands for."
Also Trupen: "It's basically the Factorio version of NEI..."
I mean, actually he said it's a factorio version of Just Enough Items. Someone who doesn't know that Just Enough Items was created to replicate the function of Not Enough Items, which in turn was a newer port and upgrade of Too Many Items might not realize that JEI and NEI are the same thing.
@@Rms2015wtf
Only OGs know it as TMI
"Todo list adds a huge monster that can tear down your whole base in a few seconds!" That laughed me up.
I mean, it's not wrong
One of my favourites that wasn't mentioned was squeak through, does the same as tree collision but also let's you walk through pipes and I think also between certain buildings that normally block you.
You are right, squeak through is cool mod especially when you have to deal with multiple liquids from other mods
its not good, because biters can just walk through walls
@@sgi_cris3780 I guess I've been lucky that way, it's never happened to me, even on deathworlds.
@@sgi_cris3780 I don't think it affects walls I use the mod and definitely can't walk through walls might have been an old version?
@@KeinNiemand may have been, i havent played factorio in quite a while
Not gonna lie, dem huge biters, I was succesfully jumpscared.
FNEI probably stands for Factorio Not Enough Items (NEI - a Minecraft mod that allows you to find recipes of pretty much anything)
FJEI when?
@@Dennis19901 as soon as everybody stops using FTMI
My favourite mod is Base Mod. It's pretty based.
Ah yes, having obscenely huge biters definitely makes my life in Factorio way easier. Thanks!
Glad to help :)
It makes the game more fun though
One mod I would recommend is the "Max Rate Calculator", which tells you the maximum amount of output a subsection of your factory can produce
you are right, it's great mod :D
4:55 i like how he thinks going to sleep was ever an option
Sleep gives you time to dream about your factory :)
Tree Xray is a newer mod that makes trees transparent around you, which makes it much easier to traverse and even build inside forests without changing the hitboxes
That is interesting mod idea :D
I'm kind of missing the "bottleneck" mod in here, it adds an icon to buildings that shows what state they're in. Like red means not operational, yellow means waiting for output to be clear and green fully operational. It helps you to see with an quick glance over your base where you could be upgrading belts or if you messed up your belts somewhere
you are right, it's good mod (one of my favorite). I just forgot to show it, sorry :/
bottleneck will bottleneck your computer, its makes your UPS go "fml"
In reference to Factory Planner's Matrix Solver, it's for solving matrices. So basically it does math for you, if you have ever taken a "Linear Algebra" college course, it basically solves all the work for you. Linearally dependent recipes detected means that they arent linearly independent recipes, therefore the recipe(s) are a combination of other ones
I understand the words you said independently, but not dependently.
@@Liwet. It essentially runs an algorithm to find a solution that works for some number of equations. If those equations are so-called linearly independent (think 'different enough to each provide a unique restriction on the solution') then there is a single solution which tells you the optimal relationship between those equations. If they're linearly dependent (meaning two or more of the equations are similar enough to not actually provide greater restriction) then there are infinitely many ways or no ways at all to solve all the equations simultaneously.
@@kingxdedede7327 My brain hurt trying to understand that. I got there, but I started to smell burnt toast in the process.
@@kingxdedede7327 What does it mean for Factorio recipes though ?
I am taking this course right now haha
Just found your video searching for factorio content. Your editing style is great, quick to the point, while being well explained! Some humor thrown in was awesome. New sub and like. Keep up the hard work!
Thank you
quite mod here is not updated for 3 years but it still works despite the game already update a lot of version
great work from dev to keep thing stable
I made a mod called "Inventory mover" that lets you move items from a source inventory (chest) to a destination inventory (chest). It's a quality of life mod that I made, so I could move the buffer chests for my train outposts faster.
That's very interesting mod
Had the waterfall mod on a heavily modded server. Of all the huge things that got changed, all the weapon upgrades and super tanks, it was the waterfall mod that was the most broken. Being able to create what was basically an indestructable wall made the entire game very easy.
yes, placeable water is too broken :/
I've watched your videos and I'll be honest, I love them. You're very informative and the Factorio community is most certainly a helpful bunch. I've learned a lot from you guys, you're definitely 5987% more helpful than other gaming communities I've been with.
Cheers friend, hope you're well.
Thanks :D
Glad I checked this, the info mod will really help me as a new player. More time spent in game is more time to make my factory!
squeak-through is a must have for me, I was surprised to not see it here
yeah I've forgot about this one ;/
Definitely checking out the Quality of Life research mod. I mean, I want to complete my first playthrough without any mods, pure vanilla, but not a fan of having to almost be on top of machines to interact with them.
If you want a quicker early game, companion drones are the best choice. This mod by Klonan gives you bots on burner energy. By default they also attack biters (very effectively), so if you want to play with biters, you have to toggle that off.
I have been using Improved Research Queue and like it a bit better than Auto Research. You have to do a bit of work, but I like that it estimates the time remaining based on your current production rates.
An alternative to FNEI is Recipe Book which is quite polished and looks really good.
I personally prefer Rate Calculator to the older Max Rate Calculator.
Finally, Assembly Analyst is great for getting a read on how effective your build is or if there are any bottlenecks.
Thanks for the tips, Factorio modding community is great and with this amount of mods you can chose what you want :D
2 must have mods in my opinion you missed: 1) vehicle snap. Because cars cant drive straight unless you just placed it. 2) max rate calculator. For easy designing production with modules
Those are very good mods, thanks for your suggestion
There are 5987 things that I needed to learn to be better at cracktorio. Thanks for the qol mod info. I'd love to see some more mod spotlights
Thanks for the information keep up the good work
Oh, man! Please make a video about the TOP global mods, what changes gameplay! Because i'm to lazy for searching them))
I don't have much experience with big mods like krastorio or bob's, so it's a bit hard for me to make a well informed video about them :/
Thank you for the informative video. i will certainly install some of those mods later into my games.
Glad I could help :D
Sometimes I forget what's not a mod anymore because I haven't played vanilla in at least a year but the mod which lets fluids passthrough more buildings is great! Though I'm not sure if it's a QoL mod.
It's great to just have a string of t3 assemblers and forget about pipes
How did I miss that you can mod Factorio???? Man, I wish I would have known it sooner as these mods would make my life easier.
Thanks for putting this list together :)
It's on the opening screen.
They can also make your life harder if you wish
*glares at SeaBlock and Pyanodon modpacks*
Thank you for this video. I appreciate your sense of humor!
Glad you enjoyed it!
2024??? Uploaded 3 years ago... NICE BUD
we do a little bit of title change :)
@@Trupen Amongus
2024 is here woo!🎉
I used Auto Deconstruct in a playthrough some years ago, and at first it puzzled me that it didn’t work on my Uranium Drills. Then I realized that it made sense for them to ignore those.
Yeah same with me in as like hmm works there but not there and then it hit me ohh because of the fluid machanic
Out of all the Factorio TH-camrs, not only did I find your channel first but I like your content the best. It's simple, informitive and it doesn't try to stifle my creativity. Also your accent is awesome. I hope you keep making videos.
Wow, thanks
@@Trupen You're welcome. I got this game four weeks ago after my car accident. I had to stay home and this was the perfect distraction while I was out of work. I'm ashamed to admit I've put over 200 hours into the game since then 😅😅
I honestly prefer Canalbuilder to Waterfill. It adds swimming, such that water only slows rather than prevents movement, and requires explosives. Overall it feels more balanced.
Another alternative to waterfill is "Noxys Waterfill", more expensive and it doesn't kill you when placed under you
noobs, i use explosive waterfill !
didn't know how much i needed helmod before now! specialy with bobs and angel mod!
This video was one I was looking for
it's nice to hear that :D
all of these are great QoL mods, but i suggest you add squeak through to the list, it makes the collision boxes for most buildings just a little bit smaller, and completely removes them in some cases. its great for getting around crowded factories and not having to worry about boxing yourself in with pipes, solar panels, etc.
That's indeed a good mod and I regret that I've forgot to add this to the list :/
ok, fill4me sounds amazing. im playing vanilla but only got QoL mods, like longer reach, afarid of the dark and the one that shows if things are working or not
FNEI stands for 'Factorio: Not Enough Items'. It's based on the NEI addon from Minecraft which has a very similar function.
that makes sense, thanks
5:02 okay yeah i paused to read your cheeky little subtitles comment lol. i usually turn subs on for something else and then forget, but it has helped me understand what you're saying through your accent a couple times :) im not saying theres anything wrong with your accent, i actually find your way of speaking nice to listen to.
All the the combinator mods since provided you know how to use them, they can greatly simplify things. I've seen one guy convert his entire mall into a single (krastorio 2 end game version) assembler. There's also some cleanup mods that help remove dirty looking terrain which is nice if you like neat looking concrete. Last for me there's also a bob's inserters mod or something that lets inserters be customized from where they pick up to where they drop off, including what side of a belt. I used to use it, as it's miraculous how it changes things like the layout of a mall or reactor setup or anywhere belts are needed but space is cramped.... but it's also just a teensy bit cheaty, because you can also turn inserters I to 'long' stack inserters. ie: you could have something like 15+ stack inserters working off the same 1x1 container.
Quality of Life Research is something I can’t live without. The expanded inventory is needed when you hoard items like I do 😅
You are right Quality of Life Research is amazing
personal fav mods are bigbrother (radar upgrades) and lightpoles (all power polls give off light)
1:53 I'm already using Even distribution but didn't know the SHIFT+C. Thanks!
"autotrash" is a must have for space exploration. poorly named but it allows you to setup logistic network profiles which makes it a lot easier to prefer for time in space, combat, base expansion etc

Great vid man!
Thank you :D
The way you make your videos is amazing
Thank you, I'm glad that you like them :)
quite nice list, but there are few amazing mods I'd add to it.
Alien biomes, Alien economy (reintroduction of alien resources), Squeak through, NANOBOTS, RPG mod (adds levels), Solution for pollution, More drone upgrades, bobs inserter upgrade (allows you to choose where inserters pick from and to items), bigger research lab (or research lab upgrade). adds lab tiers - stronger and bigger.
This video awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it
I think FNEI is Factorio Not Enough Items.
Great video! I was waiting for something like this!
Yes you are right, it's Factorio Not Enough Items
Thanks I'm glad you enjoy :D
6:43 Super video dachte nicht das du deutsch kannst top Englische aussprache
"FNEI" Stands for "Factorio Not Enough Items". NEI was a minecraft mod that showed recipes and usages of all items, way before it was added to vanialla.
Thanks!
woah, trupen made content two years ago just for today?
madlad!
I love that most of those are mods I already use :D
first ive heard of concreep, thats a neat idea for a mod
FNEI is probably “factorio not enough items” as it’s appears to be “not enough items” (a super popular minecraft mod that does the same thin) but for factorio.
Ahh, you mentioned JEI. JEI is NEI is TMI. Just a newer version.
Waterfill can be used to cheese deathworlds by moating. It can also be used to wipe out entire hives by waterfilling them, then filling it in with landfill.
Nice video! I’m gonna give a bunch of these a try!
Btw. If you like creating huge bot networks and are like me, you sometimes want a way to prioritize your player’s robots over the (very far away) base robots. If this strikes a chord take a look at “Bot Prioritizer” and “Tactical Construction”. They both do similar things but take a slightly different approach and have different pros and cons.
Full disclosure: I authored Tactical Construction.
4:54 Bold of you to assume I sleep.
factorissmo, krastorio, space explortation, core mining mods are my favourite
"diesmal kein russisch" got me ded
Squeak Thru is one of my favorite QoL mods, it allows you to move between pipes, machines, and other buildings
yeah it's great mod, sorry I forgot about it :/
@@Trupen Dont worry mate
very useful indeed!
A few more quality of life mods.
Squeak through; Let's you walk in-between basically anything.
Romulinho's Research Queue Always True; So you don't forget to start it
Picker extended; Let's you hover over ghosts to place them.
Longer Underground Belt; Faster belt = makes them go longer underground.
Bottleneck; Shows with simple icons how well your machines are doing, whether they're full, don't have enough resources, working fine etc.
Hope they help!
I luke this specific mod called tiny mi ers. It makes a miners 1x1 (still old sprite) and the area also 1x1. Later upgrades gives it back a 5xt mining area. Slightly cheat cause you can place a lot more miners per field, but theh also cost 4-5 times what normals cost.
NEI stands for "Not Enough Items" and is a carry over from a Minecraft mod with the same name.
F in FNEI probably stands for Factorio.
Thx for all the tips for usefull mod :) but i prefer vanila factorio...may be the mod that can add water
FNEI stands for Factorio Not Enough Items, it stems from a mod in minecraft called NEI (Not Enough Items) which shows recipes and sources for items, just like in factorio
yea it makes sense :D
Production analyst is pretty cool. Select some machines and it tells you how many resources they produce/consume. It'll even tell you how many more machines you need if some of them can't keep up.
my favorite qol mod is my own that i havent uploaded yet cuz its not done, and its also more aggressive as it changes actual gameplay balance a decent amount. the main things it does is:
1. makes many different item *types* automatically productivity modulable (so even modded items that arent normally productivity-able can be). mods can exempt specific items from this, but i also want to make mods be able to exempt _everything_ from the mod at some point.
2. automatically modifies mining time of various things like belts, inserters, and pipes, adjustable with a setting. again, mods can exempt things from this.
3. modifies belts to craft 10 and undergrounds 4 at a time (but costs adjusted so that its the same cost).
4. adds recipes for "fusing" oil fluids back up (petroleum->light oil->heavy oil). these recipes are unlocked via a research that requires advanced oil processing
and 5. adds some extra infinite robot researches for battery size and carrying capacity (these are probably the most contentious things my mod does, and its kinda also one of the reasons i havent bothered to upload it lol)
Sounds really cool! Have you gotten around uploading it?! ;)
@@Bruno-el1jl yeah actually, might be a bit hard to find on the mods list ingame or on the mods portal website tho, cuz it's just called "qualify of life" which is basically the same name for dozens of mods XD
since this comment, ive also added a bunch of fixes for using my mod with AAI Industries and Space Exploration as well as added some groups for fuel and electrical stuff as well. the groups were kinda just for my own personal sanity because it took *a lot* of stuff out of other groups for me personally (lots of different fuels and poles and power generators)
Waterfill is so damn OP for dealing with biters
Faster Start is definitely my fav mod it makes early game so much easier
As a wise frog once said: "fuck you. *waterfills your house*"
"Fuck you, *waterfills your house*"

This video is super helpful, and so are the comments!
Trupen is new favorite youtuber
cool, very informatif... thanks
Glad it was helpful :D
I see you playing skyfactory in the background, best mod pack
yeah it's great modpack :D
Let me answer the biggest mystery of 2021. FNEI stands for Factorio Not Enough Items. :P
That makes sense, thanks
After the Minecraft mod, NEI.
3:00 Maybe it stands for "Factio Not Enough Items", where "Not Enough Items" is out of those JEI Minecraft mod variants
I know it's already half of 2022 but this game is just a masterpiece. Not only the gameplay but the complexity is nothing I have ever seen before in a game. It's still too complex for my 60 hours but I'm learning new things every day and I haven't even researched everything yet. Great game and worth the 25 €.
I actually just got curious why it's never on sale and thought I might give it a try. I regret nothing.
FNEI would likely stand for "factorio not enough items".
not enough items is the original mod just enough items comes from
I agree all this 10 loq mods are good and great. Ich have all bevore i saw this video but you get a like becouse the mods are helpfull and you told them other people ;-). So good job.
(maybe reciep explorer and planer for 11 and 12 ;-).
I use a mod called rate calculator that show the throughput of machine in an area. It is useful for me to design a blueprint like circuit or smelter
Very cool! I will need to give it a look, thanks :D
I also paused the video after he quite literally gave the explanation and reasoning behind the name of FNEI (which I had thought about when he mentioned RMB to see what you can craft with it)
lmao
I'm 100% certain after 3 years, there are more new QOL mods.
I would appreciate if you made a new video.
Thank you.
Not much, hahahah
i will add on this list also mod "Where is my body" is quite useful
About what fnei means, the name is based off of the older name of the jei mod in Minecraft, which was called not enough items. So fnei means factorio’s not enough items
That's make sense, thanks :D
My favorite QoL mod is (I don't remember the name) drone settings, you can change their speed to as fast that if biters gonna attack your base, 1 construction drone gonna repair everything faster than tons biters attack. You won't see a drones because they are faster than light but lol it's sick
More easily peacefully mod
Video title: "... can't live without in 2023"
Video date: 2 years ago
Me: Hm..... Is something wrong here?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Bro was thinking ahead
Nanobots (or the early construction bots) While it does add new things, I find it amazing for saving my hands.
yeah it's also a great mod ;D
Jokes aside. It's 2023 and I can't live without these mods.
Side inserters is probably the best mod I have installed. Not only does it make compact setups way more flexible, but it also makes complete sense for robot arms to be able to go sideways and aim for either side of a conveyor belt. It should be part of vanilla!
yea it's a great mod :D
se que hablas ingles pero tienes un acento extraño
como sea tus videos son geniales el trabajo de edición debe ser difícil de todas formas sigue a si
nice video
Pretty sure fnei stands for factorio not enough items. It comes originally from Minecraft with nei being not enough items which would show you how you could make an item, cheat it in with give commands or simply help search through a chest of random stuff to find a certain item.
yeah I think you are right
Thank you
You're welcome
my brain: nooo waterfill is so unrealistic!
also my brain when my character is running around with 300 oil refineries in his pocket:
2:33
Minecraft knowledge to the rescue!
NEI - Not Enough Items
And presumably the F means Factorio
Factorio Not Enough Items
Minecraft's NEI (also JEI, Just Enough Items) creates a sidebar that, like this, shows a list of *every* item aswell as their recipes
And now I read the other comments... So many other people have posted this 🤦♂️
Hahaha....
watching a bit more of the video, he shows a picture of JEI...
