Hello everyone!
After a Monster 16 hour final editing day, I managed to finish my latest project, a standalone video about cursed belt weaving, curseder belt tapestry, and cursedest Legally Obtainable "Infinity Chests" for all your Space Storage Needs!
It took a lot longer than I thought it would, as I found an error in one of my calculations (see if you can her the fix...), and also I kept finding new and improved methods and even exploits which all had to be added in... So to st...
2024-12-13 01:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone :) What's up!
After over a month of near-daily streams of the Space Age NPE, we're nearing the completion of the playthrough. In fact, we reached the victory screen in the last stream, and uploaded the game to the factorio Hall of Fame! You can take a look at it here. For those wanting to find the star in the galaxy, you need to go right quite a bit and then up a little (use the nearby star names/numbers to get closer and closer).
Hello everyone!
How are y'all enjoying the Space Age expansion :)
As most of you know I'm currently streaming my very first playthrough of space Age every european evening, slowly exploring the game as a real new player experience. I gotta say that it was a great decision to do it this way, it's a lot of fun figuring everything out right as we come across things, instead of having a plan beforehand like is often the case for my challenge video series.
I originally was not pl...

This post is set to Public
The save attached is the post-10-hour base test, with a nice flat science production graph. The link itself may not work says patreon, so alternatively I've attached the savegame to this physical post as well.
I've included a copy of the blueprint book in the player's inventory in the save file. The Blueprint book is also downloadable seperately from Discord
You don't need any other mods apart from Warptorio2 and Planetorio, so wh...
2024-10-14 06:48:56 +0000 UTC View PostI DID IT! I can't believe I still managed to finish it before space age launches!
The Warptorio Grande Finale premieres 10:00 CEST (5,5 hours from the moment of this post), at least I hope it does as it's still uploading. The video itself is about 1h45m long, so I really hope HD quality has finished processing by then.
Ok just a quick message only today, I go sleep, hope to see you at the premiere!
SPOILER ALERT!
This is only the first half of the warptorio finale. The video below can still be watched as a standalone episode, as the finale will have two distinct parts, and this is the first one. All of the editing is finalized, you won't miss anything by watching it.

I didn't have time to proofwatch yet so if you find major issues please let me know. Gotta run now, enjoy the probably penultimate episode!

Warptorio is Back with a Vengeance... Literally!
This one was quite a difficult and lengthy process to produce, with lots of extra recorded scenes to MikeSplain stuff, out-of-order material for illustration of whatever Scripting Mike though was a good idea to say at the time, and so on...
Talking about things to say, I will be a guest on Krydax's "The Factory Must Grow" podcast tomorrow, sunday september 1 at 15:00 UTC --> 2024-08-31 07:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post
Hi everyone :)
For those who want to watch a preview, here is a link to the "intro" part of the next episode, which doesn't contain spoilers for the full episode: https://youtu.be/c1r1MNO7VV8 (music may be a bit loud still, didn't sound-balance yet)
The intro part was a bit harder to create (not in the last place due to needing many out-of-playthrough recorded clips and spreadsheets and such), but the rest o...

Well you knew this was coming after my "ukulele apology video"...
Enjoy this exploit while it lasts, and if you happen to hang around speedrunner streams, I suggest helping getting them to collectively ban this exploit in case it turns out to be a faster method (as however helpful and entertaining this may be in an edited warptorio video, it is an extremely boring to watch AND perform exploit for vanilla realtime speedruns.
Anyway, I haven't started scriptwriting/editing work on t...

Hello everyone!
WARPTORIO WARP MODULE EXPLOIT (coming later this weekend):
Possibly Cheating Mike's progress on the (Vanilla-applicable!) Warp module exploit video is ongoing. I'm about 80% trough the main video editing step, and then it's just the overall sound overhaul/balancing (and Snarky Editing Mike possibly throwing a few yellow tekst tantrums here and there). It's been a bit more complicated to put together than a usual episode, but...

Hi everyone :)
I'm a little sad to having had to skip today's stream in favor of finish editing the new warptorio episode, but in the grand scheme of things it is better anyway as a sunday stream is way better suited to make the epic conclusion of the "temporary 1k SPM base"
I have moved between countries again last week, so everything has been a bit hectic, including the creation of this shorter-than-usual episode (I still wanted to get an episode out this friday morning as usual...

What happens when you warp back to the homeworld woefully underprepared???
Oh boy, so much for the big epic OP finale I had originally planned (as in my test runs and plan for the series, I would warp back after completing the entire tech tree and roflstompcopter my way through the homeworld biters... I could afford to do that because in warpzone 8, I killed all moving biters via command every few minutes to get rid of the lag... In this series, there's 2 key differences:

I really want(ed?) Warpzone 8-6 to be the final episode in warpzone 8, so it's the same story like last week. If you watched last week's partial episode, it's safe to watch this one too (it continues seemlessly from last week, so it just drops right back in where last week left off)
So, watch at your own discretion: https://youtu.be/E0RTk7cXBUc

I didn't have time to watch the video myself yet, so let me know if you find any issues. I put some delay on the publishing of this post, which hopefully means youtube's HD processing will have finished by now.
As mentioned before, I used a different approach to creating the video with more live commentary. The first 3 minutes (a recap of what was achieved in warpzone 8-4) especially suffer a bit from getting used to the new method, but later in the video...

The warptorio video main editing is done, and the video will be here this weekend. I just need to complete the final step, which is balancing all the sounds for volume and highlights, usually I also put some extra text, arrows, and zooms in in this stage. It's gonna be 40 minutes long, I used a new approach to the recording and voice-over process which I thought would save me some time, but ...

Hey everyone :)
Here's Science Galore part 4!
I've been trying a new method to produce the next warptorio video. Video quality should be better as I'm recording targeted lossless sections again (with Fraps), instead of recording the entire playthrough with streamlabs (which already compresses the video). Fraps comes with it's own issues though, like not being able to record voice audio on a seperate audio track, making it impossible to split off voice in editing (so for example, I...

Hi everyone! I finally finished Warpzone 8-4 in a mega marathon sitting. It'll likely get published tomorrow at the usual time, 9.00 CET (about 7 hours from now). If not, I'll release science galore ep2 on youtube instead.
Science galore 3 is ready and I will upload it to patreon tomorrow, I just quickly wanted to get this post out as the early access time for this one may be unusually short.
Enjoy!

Hello everyone :)
I'm here to share a few videos and updates :) The image above is just the new thumbnail for the science galore series, I've linked all the videos in this post instead. Let's start off with the main one: the edited cut of science galore stream 2. Science galore 3 will be ready next week, and after crossing a few hurdles, I think we can now get 1 of those every week until that playthrough ends!
Science Galore ep2:
Alright, now we're getting somewhere! Everyone knows that Bowser awaits in W8-4, so we must be getting close to the end, right? RIGHT?
On the Science Galore edits, as it stands now Jacob will be editing the rest of the playthrough as well, and the series will make it to youtube :)
Enjoy!

Alright everyone, here is the first video in the post-warp-timer-disabled-era! I tried a different approach to writing the script this time, a 2-step process where I first describe only the "big events" happening chronologically, and only then write the actual script with those gudelines. The idea behind it was trying to get me to cover more footage wit less script, and while that was somewhat successfull, in the end I still ended up writing a lot of script. I still think the video pace and l...
