Hello everyone :)
The long awaited FINAL warpzone has arrived!
Unfortunately I found out too late 2 of my voice script audio clips were corrupted, but as I won't have access to my real microphone until the start of april, I couldn't properly re-record them. Instead, I used the inbuilt laptop mike which, as expected, sounds like crap. Anyway, even though 1 missing clip is at a rather "inconvenient" location, 2 voice clips out of 150 is not enough reason to delay the video at least...

Hello everyone, here is the FULL warpzone 7 in a single video :) Well, hopefully, it's uploading and will be processing on youtube while I sleep, so hopefully I planned this post far enough in the future that the video is done and watchable in HD by the time this post goes up.
This one won't be in early access for that long, I intend to publish it on youtube this friday ...

Hello everyone!
So, I really wanted to make warpzone 7 into a single video, and after writing the first part of the script (which has become this video), I thought the rest of the video would mostly be a quick montage of building the blueprint. Well, I was wrong, as I spent a similar amount of words/voice audio on the latter part of warpzone 7, and it possibly turned out to be the most interesting part so far, talking about the inner workings of the first part of the end-game blueprint....

Hi everyone!
Here's the conclusion of Warpzone 6, where somehow I get away with whatever the heck it is that I'm trying to do, without getting absolutely obliterated by big biters!
During the upcoming month or 2, I'll be mostly on the road, first in the alps (feb/mar), later in Turkey (mar/apr). I touched on this subject in my streams, so I may as well expand a little here as well. I'm "internationally married", but we don't actually "live fulltime" in one location. Instead we shu...

Hey, it's warpzone 6! Warpzone 6 out of 8 already, so only 2 more warpzones to go until the end, right? RIGHT? I mean, we're already cruisng through red and green science, we just need resources for a large quantities of 4 additional, WAY more expensive science packs AND a base to produce all that, and then a Rocket Silo with not just one, but a couple handfulls of rocket launches to get through the warptorio extended techtree! I'd say we're RIGHT on schedule!
Enjoy!

Warpzone 5.2 // Unlocking The GOAT in Warptorio... // How Many WARPS to Beat WARPTORIO?
Hello everyone!
I didn't think I'd get the video done in time, as there's a few mikesplaining-heavy sections in there which require some extra out-of-game recording and more precise editing, but here it is :) I already had the script written though, so it will probably be a little longer before warpzone 6 is done, especially because I'm gonna try my hardest to return to 1 episode per warpzone f...

Hello everyone!
Welcome to Warpzone 5!
I though it was gonna be a single video for this one, but after writing the script it was over 6000 words (about 45-60 minutes depending on how much "shut-up-and-let-the-footage-tell-the-story"-time the playthrough contains (for this warptorio run style, there's not a lot of quiet time involved though, so we have to deal with my waterfall of words)
I still think warpzone 6 will be a single video, as we covered most of the basics now, an...

I just finished editing and exporting the latter part of Warpzone 4 (so if you're early gang, YouTube's HD-processing may not be finished yet). Somehow it's a 17 minute video covering 12 minutes of gameplay lol, isn't the ratio supposed to be the other way around? Anyway, it also includes a couple out-of-game fragments, fun practice run clips about alternate situations, and a bunch of explanation stuff in general (which is actually why these warpzone 4 videos are longer). There has been a lot...

Happy new year everyone!
Warpzone 4 turns out to be a longer video than expected (as we go in depth behind the stamped down blueprints). I wanted to keep the one video per warpzone format until warpzone 8, but unfortunately I couldn't get the whole thing finished in time, so I will probably release it on youtube in 2 parts as well, with this first art going live tomorrow (not fully decided just yet, I might skip a week). Anyway, whatever the final format will be, this video is fully fin...

Happy New Year everyone!
I'm busy working on Warpzone 4, which is quite a package to edit, as I want to take a deeper dive to explore the blueprints I'm using. I have finished writing and recording the script, and it all amounts to a scary length of voice script audio material... It's longer than the actual warpzone playthrough, so I'm likely going to have to cut/summarize a couple parts, but we'll see how that goes as I try matching the footage with the voice script lol.

Beep Boop, here it is :)
The later stages of the episode are narrated mostly by Live Mike, as HE is making a giant mess all over the place, so let's have him clean it up as well!
This is the LAST Warpzone where the warp platform will be (mostly) ignored... And it's getting damn well time as well! We've already played through FOUR worlds and are supposed to warp home by warpzone EIGHT!!! What the heck?
Enjoy the episode!

I didn't want to annoy everyone with a ping to a videoless post, but for those looking for it, you'll probably spot this message. I had hoped to get warpzone 3 out this week, but I've barely had any time to work on it. I had to prepare for and undertake a 26 hour travel with a sleepless night, which basically took me out for the next day as well to recover, followed by a bunch of time-pressured/time-sensitive matters to take care of shortly a...

I fixed up the sidetracks with some better accompanying video/textover material this time (like warp damage vs vanilla damage), and I rewatched warpzone 1 , taking into account your comments and noting a few other fixes, but I prioritized completing and fixing warpzone 2 to get it released here today.

Hello everyone :)
I will be starting a krastorio2 DeathWorld livestream, starting around 16:00 CET (about 2 hours from the moment of this post), on my Twitch channel. I set up and finetuned yesterday and everything works now, there probably still will be some issues though as I didn't test with an audience, so it's still kind of a tryout stream. If all goes well, I plan to finish the playthrough over the next weeks by streaming a couple hours every weekend. No set schedule just yet.

If you have been holding off on watching the unedited Warptorio videos to avoid spoilers for the future edited series: Rejoice! The first episode is finally here! Oh yeah!
I paid a lot of attention to lining up the background music with both the gameplay and the voice-over, balancing and highlighting the different tracks as intended, so play this video with decently loud volume to experience the video as intended :)

Hi everyone!
This is the final post in the unedited "Warptorio final test run" series I've been posting here on patreon over the last 2 months or so (to everyone new here wanting to give it a watch, you'll find all the relevant posts under the "collections" tab). The warptorio gameplay aspect ended in the last video post, and this post contains all 6 videos of the endgame blueprint development, for the select few who want to watch it. It's another 40-50 hours, similar to the length of t...

Hey everyone! After the finale of the 100% evolution series (which aires today on youtube), here's the finale of my Warptorio practice run!
I'd say this finale is FAIRLY SAFE TO WATCH WITHOUT SPOILING THE FUTURE YOUTUBE SERIES from:

or alternatively from

So yeah, I put a part in the video about going full time. I didn't want to put it in there, in fact I really hated it, but in the end I think I should sometimes do one of those call-to-action type of things if I'm going to rely on this (not in ALL videos though). A big thanks to all of you here already, who decided to support me making videos all by yourself. ...

Alright, after today I'm 41 minutes into the "100% evolution start" finale and it's "basically done"... I basically only need to film a satisfying ending to the story. I have recorded a script, but after trying the edit a bit, I'm not sure it's the right fit. I may just end it fairly quickly instead of trying the whole cinematic ending thing, but perhaps I'll feel more inspired tomorrow morning again with a fresh outlook hehe... Depending on how that all goes, the finale should be up on patre...

I'm about 20 minutes in on the 20M green chip finale of the 100% biter evolution series. There are no "logical breakpoints" in the video, so it doesn't really make sense to post the progress so far, and I definitely don't want to break up the video into 4 "even finaler finales" this time lol, even though it's looking to become a pretty long ordeal, probably between 45-55 minutes.

This is part 3 of my unedited final practice run of warptorio!
Warning: now that the "warp time pressure" is off, over the next 2-3 videos, the gameplay is going to transform from preplanned, written out and well executed strategy to a more improvised style, and therefore also more long-winded and slow progress making in general, as well as some of the tasks which need to be done are just fairly time-consuming, especially when needing to interrupt them to keep the non-automat...
