How Did We Get Here // FACTORIO but start with 100% Biter Evolution... 

If you got started with this video and would like to see the whole journey, here's the playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PLDgN0w4z4q0zkqFBkqiaJX7xaajViBxNh Oh, and if you can't wait to see the next hour, it's JUST been released on Patreon ==> www.patreon.com/MichaelHendriks :)

Mike Hendriks: Is given a game about making a factory to produce anything you can imagine... Says NOOOO to that and figures out different ways of playing Starship Troopers Simulator.

I thought you had given up on this playthrough, I'm so happy to see a new episode! Love all your videos bud.

44:20 is amazing, never imagined sped-up factorio music was such a bop

Loving this side project!

The sped up music during the timelapse @44:28 is wonderful, gives me an Addams Family vibe

There is a unique aesthetic to an optimized handfeeding base that I love.

And you may find yourself on the other side of Nauvis. And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did we get here?"

Hey Michael, I appreciate your series and especially your charming accent. Doesn't sound like English is your first language. You make it really fun to watch these. Thanks for your hard work putting the videos together. #VivaLaJohnny

I liked this longer format video with more of the “unscripted” feeling commentary and real-time thinking-out-loud. Nice way to mix it up!

I adore that red chip build, it's so elegantly spaghettified

Finally this. It is so much better than indestructible biter bases.

1:03:30 Oh no, Michael started to build the strongest shapes...

That recap is just awesome :b

I am so glad that you are continuing this adventure! I was starting to wonder if you had given up on it.

I love your content! Can't wait for the 10 hour movie version of this journey

awesome! i admittedly havent been following this side project because 1. i didnt think it would get anywhere and 2. because it wasnt very edited but i think you might have a chance now...

Discovered you from you 1000 days of deathworld series, and this seems like a fantastic next watch. Glad to be here early

This is one of the most intense Factorio challenges I've seen you do, it feels like every little decision you make has earthshattering consequences, and you're making so much progress despite that

Love your stuff man, cant get enough. I already know this will be a banger!

So excited for every video you upload! Thank you so much

I literally started watching the playlist today morning. Thanks for the update. Waiting for more 👍

I love this series! Thank you!

32:15 "Let me regain my train of thought" You should regain a train network of thoughts ;) They are very useful for megabases.

Thanks for the recap. Very helpful! Great to see this series back :D

Love this series ❤

If you launch a rocket without automatic green circuits, you will truly be a madman.

nice one! love this project. no wait I love all of your projects! I LOVE THIS CHANNEL

44:12 tbh that sped up music hits different. 👍 Awesome video like always!

Woohooo 😆 Thank you Michael!!! Going to start back at the beginning

Glad it's back! Just love these videos man.

OMG YAY I love this "side project" lol, so excited to watch this new episode!

i like an idea from the end of this episode, about placing first miner at the most reach ore squears to avoid few miners with millions of ore thank you!!!!!!!!

I had forgotten about this one. thanks for continuing!

Oh hype, this is one of my favorite playthroughs so I'm glad that we're coming back to it!

So happy to see this project is still going :)

jeez saw your channel by luck, subscribed for extremly high attention to details and your calculations, keep it up !

love the pace of your videoes

For future reference red chips are one chemical plant per eight blue assemblers.

After this series is over (and I'm so happy that you're back to recording it!) I'd love to see if you can get the there is no spoon achievement with the same scenario (map choice up to you, I just meant the settings)

This channel is so good, I could be watching for ages without getting bored

it's just a joke but imagine your Ultimate Deathworld playthrough with the 100% Biter Evolution Mod 😂

This man is into CBT, i know it

Glad to see the series is coming back! :)

Finally, thanks for continueing this one

Michael, your driving skills appear to have improved a LOT. You been taking lessons? ;-)

Rare moment of Hendricks being a spaghetti chef.

Yoooo I was wondering when we'd get the next entry in this series! I really like it, this is a very interesting challenge.

Such a unique channel, really glad I found it.

Thanks for the video

I lov your videos Mike!

So happy you continued this play through I personally was enjoying it more than the invincible spawner play through

Lol, you have a bunch of efficiency modules in your inventory. Would go well in those assemblers :D

45:13 - 45:26 Well, I guess that was a... *puts on sunglasses* Pipe Dream. XD

side project? This is amazing!

i had completely forgotten that this was still a thing. Cool!

i definetly enjoy more the post gameplay edit videos BUT i really like seeing your thought process while you play

Bring back the STEEL! GLORIOUS STEEL!!!!!!

Letting the days go by

Perfect time to test how effective flamethrower turrets are for offensive actions.

Question: "Isn't it wonderful" Answer: "Yes it isn't wonderful"😏

Got plans for a Space Exploration playthrough? Think it'd be really nice - you are very skilled!

YESSSSSS YOU ARE BACK

I was curious if you've ever done any type of tutorial videos for certain set ups? The learning curve of this game going from mid to late game is pretty nuts, and I'm struggling on getting efficient and self-sustaining Kovarex enrichment and train terminals set up! You're my go to for anything Factorio related so I think it would be pretty cool if you talked about some of those things. Tips and tricks for planning out base set ups etc - also, RAIL SIGNALS - they frustrate me so!

I was waiting for this episode! Why are you afraid of occupation of copper? You are about researching personal laser turrets. After research complete - it will cost you nothing.

21:10 Efficiency Modules Inside™

Not gonna lie I forgot this series even existed

You sure laid a lot of pipe Michael, it's no wonder the biters are staying away.

Good old Johnny. 👍

i've watched like 10 of your other videos since the last episode of this, now i gotta go start this series over! certainly not complaining tho :D are you doing multiple playthroughs in tandem?

After the challenge with invulnerable spawners, this challenge looks easier :O How far will you go in hardcore?

RIP spoon chievo.

yes

It is such a difference to see you talk solely calmly, almost like without any enthusiasm. What is the difference? Is the voice recorded live during the game?

I'm guessing you're deliberately going with a somewhat "pacifist" theme, but a determined eradication campaign against any small expansion nest doesn't require much, slowdown/poison capsules being the really key tech. Deworm with poison capsules, slowdown the defenders, and they can't do diddly squat to protect the spawners from the car machine gun or handheld flamethrower. It's also notable that the"fire sticker" from the flamethrowers inflicts a base of 3000 damage over time, since a Behemoth Biter has 3000 hitpoints, a single splash leaves it at about 150 hitpoints from regen, but with a single flamethrower damage upgrade a single splash is a death sentence, making the handheld flamethrower ludicrously economical for destroying behemoth biters, at cost of roughly 0.25 iron and 1 oil per Behemoth Biter destroyed, somewhat cheaper than using bullets.

It was interesting to see you more free styling the Voice Over instead of your more intimidating and "calculated" persona. If it means videos for projects like this get made faster then worth! tho do what you wanna do

Do you plan to upgrade to plutonium bullets ? or just stack more bullet upgrades and stick with red?

I always forget that I can prod mod labs

Another upload!

Two quetsions. Can´t use use the island on top. While sea squares absorb less, there is loads of them around. And.. why is there now permanets setup for the basics? (green circut, sprocket and other simular stuff). Also, i calculated a while back, if running on solar and batteries, Green modules are a better investment than more solar panels for almost everything. (not blue assemblers and for the 3rd modules it depends on the energy consumption)

what im wondering is, how many plates do you need to actually launch a rocket? how many of those plates can you make before the timer for the achievements end?

I wish I could subscribe to you on Floatplane to stream your Factorio content with a higher bitrate. It would be easier on the eyes -- well worth a subscription price for that benefit and to support you!

Chekki Brekki ah no :D

Just get power armor with lasers copper not a problem anymore

You may want to reupload with synced audio! Game audios off by a bit

Gonk :D

german accent is so funny :D

Isn't there an acheivement for not using bots?

Wait, did I miss something? The Lazy Bastard tracker shows 111/111, but don't you still have to hand-craft the rocket silo?

Hey man, just wanting to ask if you are feeling alright, your voice sounds a bit down if I am honest compared to previous vids. Hope you are doing well.

I feel I missed an episode and I'm sure he explained it in that, but there's no achievement that forbids flamethrower turrets, so why take out the behemoths with red ammo? I mean it is cool for the challenge if it is for the challenge.

Wait, so you can't even build a mega base? And just end up with the first rocket launch?

I'm getting a little upset at the amount of time he is spending hand feeding assemblers at this point.

Are you Oddbawz?

Masochism.

Why not just use flamethrowers to clear the nests?

Im confused you say all achievements but ignore the fast speedrun?

Hmmm

Stat comment :)
