How Hard is it to Beat Factorio When Ore is EVERYWHERE, RANDOM, and EXPLOSIVE? 

A moment of appreciation to the splitter filter functionality which did not exist up to factorio 0.17

Im just impressed by the insanity computer thing you made, most advanced thing I ever did with circuits was in space exploration with automated rockets which took me like, 4 and a half hours of suffering to get working

Came for the bOREdom stayed for the over-engineering of BS computers.

The most shocking part of this run is that someone managed to find a legitimate use for the power switch! I am amazed!

Oh man I am 110% in for goofy factorio shenanigans, instant sub Edit: My brain is too smooth for the circuit action but I'm still having a good time watching it do its thing.

The power switched radar array was hilarious. Thanks for the video

FYI, you could have done that miner circuitry with a lot less. I played this map before and came up with a similar concept using recursive blueprints, however I just needed one centralized computer to control miners across 5 chunks, it would be hooked up to all miners and use a falling edge detection to read the direct input "ore under miner". I felt that to be a good number to justify LTN train stations picking up the ores to bring to my base with just 1 output belt of each ore type. To avoid deadlocks I used a secondary LTN provider that took any excess ore and brought it to a alternative station which just had tons of buffers using the warehousing mod, and have stations there provide with a higher priority than the other stations. Truthfully, the only materials that ever backed up too much were Copper and Stone... oh and ofc uranium, but that was being somewhat utilized for kovarex and nuclear fuel for my trains. One tip for anyone trying this: increase the default amount of oil, you'll heavily rely on solid fuel for power and smelting in the middle stages.

Ah yes... I always wanted to see Moistcr1tikal play Factorio..

for those scrolling far enough to see this: The mod offers other patterns of ore generation, e.g. perlin noise so you can get pure ores. that takes a lot of the ore balancing off which is part of the pain. I also recommend not using Peppermint mining but mining drones. they have a set position from where to take the ore from and extend their mining field slowly. this way it becomes less of a "I need to move miners and delete stuff" to more the wanted space restricted base building experience it is supposed to be.

The computer creation is the single most impressive thing I’ve seen a RU-vidr do in Factorio

You are like Bob Ross, but pasive aggressive. Didn't even think once about clicking off, it was that satisfying to watch.

The fact this guy can play more efficiently on this than my 8 hour run that’s still ongoing is great

I would like to have some varied patches like this, where some patches of ore are "clean" with only one ore, but a lot of them are mixed, some with two ores, some three, etc. Think it would be fun for a normal run.

Some run requests: A run where you have a bunch of extremely small patches of infinite resources scattered around the map? Perhaps God Modules might make it more tolerable. Or what about a run with an uber sushi belt where literally everything goes on a single belt loop, as the factory grows, so does the sushi belt. Or a no-belt run? Interesting high throughput setups there. What about a run where you have Solar + Nuclear power unlocked at the start and you do a zero pollution run? There's rarely any factorio content where you progress with Nuclear power instead of using it for a mega base. Of course if they all seem too dull, you could spice them up with mods like how you did with this video.

your suffering truly did bring joy to my life. The programming bit made me want to google every term you said and learn all i can. great video. looking forward to more Factorio!

my man be suffering through hours of his time to make decent content only for all his videos to be under 1k views, feels bad

This video is an excellent allegory for why it's so difficult to efficiently recycle everything. The sorting and demand problems are hard to overcome.

I've binged many hours of your videos over the past couple days while I have been sick and it has really been a lot of fun when I am otherwise not really able to do much. Thanks for making such great videos!

Definitely got a laugh out of me with the absurdity of a power switch to turn on radars.

I feel like I have found a goldmine. Great video and humor

Logged in after a couple years just to comment on this video. I've got to say that your Factorio content is pretty much the best I've ever seen, keep up the good work!

Honestly one of the best and most entertaining factorio videos I’ve seen, absolutely incredible video, you deserve so much more recognition

I feel like two mods, Factorissimo and Warehousing, would make this a lot more enjoyable, in addition to the recursive blueprints mod.

This is really cool, watching you design an automatic system to mine the ore and watching the mixed belts get sorted out into production is really satisfying.

Just watched all of your Factorio videos. Really great stuff, thanks for the hours of entertainment!

This is really cool and I love the music used in it!

thanks for the videos, been watching your channel for a while to gather some base building tips, am really excited to implement all of these amazing techniques into my bases :)

an excellent video, watched a few now and i love how you present them. Keep up the good work and funny way of doing what you best

Loved this video! Very cool job automating weird stuff, never would've thought of it

Bro that was great. But all that suffering for about 1k views... You are very underrated. Like your content, so don't stop making it as good (or even better).

Bro this took me 4days to figure out. I got mad respect for you.

love your content man. love the narration. love your factorio challenges. looking forward rto the next video!

Love the building skill and compactness. Awesome! It shows proficiency ingame from years of experience of playing :D

super underated, i await your channel to explode

This is like as if Garfield did a Let's Play. I kept waiting for Dosh to say how much he hated Mondays. But very enjoyable to watch! Very well done!

Never played Factorio, never will but I have been watching your videos and find them very very enjoyable with your dialogue, Keep up the awesome work, mate!

Been watching all of your factorio runs they’re great I need more of this your humor is perfect keep it up man

I'm surprised you have so little subscribers for the effort you put into your content. You earned my subscription, keep up the good work!

Hey bro, Thanks for undertaking this painfully long and filled run for our entertainment! Would love to see more Factorio videos in the future!

Really hope to see more/new factorio content i really enjoy watching you play!

Your suffering did indeed entertain. Especially since I just watched the rampant video. great stuff. I played this myself and it really does feel like there is no point to it, you mine ore only to compress it best you can and filter out what you need but then what, eventually this scenario just isn't a challenge of anything other then patience.

thanks for all the great base-building, it helped me build my base!

Loved your mining solution!

Shocked at how much of the combinators and circuitry I understood, you're good at explaining this.

Keep the vids up! It's only a matter of very miniscule time till the masses arrive

We did a dangeoreus run once, it was fun. Eventually got to where clearing ore was just part of the march of progress.

damn!this is the first video of yours that I've seen and im impressed! one of my all time fav factorio videos! I very much look forward to what might come! And that computer thingy was pretty impressive, to say the least. Wizardry.

i love this mod. it takes the major testament of "all shall be consumed" to a new level. wave scatter is nice cause if makes blobs based on demand, spiral is just odd, and random is a true test of courage. last time i did it i ended up making a sushi belt that sorted ores out into the different smelters and used the second half as a scanner, if anything made it passed the splitters taking it off the belt than i had too much so non of that was allowed to join the feed.

thats actually really cool man, I didnt even know you could do stuff like this great vid

I love it, everything, the monotonous voice, the constant suffering, it's just amazing and my type of humor, keep it up man, the algorithm will pick you up

Love into this content! Keep up the awesome work!

This was fun to watch. I hope the next challenge is also fun for you to play.

I need more of these videos please, I've just binged all of them

didn't even realize you were a small channel since the quality of the video was so good, keep up the interesting videos!

Glad to see it seems like your channel is growing!

I really enjoy your format. I wish more youtubers would do the same.

351 Subscribers. You should have so much more that i can't even count that high

2:18 from looking at it for a few minutes myself, it seems to quite clearly alternate from right to left, top to bottom of the coverage of the miner. testing it with placing 1 single iron tile in the top-right, then copper in the top-left, stone in the bottom-right, and coal in the bottom-left, it consistently mines some iron, then some copper, then some stone, then some coal, and then loops back to iron and repeats.

Your overall ingenuity is impressive. I'm intimated by the main game let alone some ridiculous challenge like this. Nice job.

I love your videos nice work!!

This is easily one of the most enjoyable and fun factorio channels I’ve ever seen and way to little subs for it as well :) love the content keep it up

Duddeee you're so underrated! You deserve more viewers for much effort! Love your videos man

Came in from my suggestions, the masses are amassing because that was amazing !!

ngl I just watched this video and felt great, because I knew what you were talking about when building the throughput display, my comp sci degree taught me :D

I don't even play Factorio any more but your vids are amazing. Thanks for great content

Good lord that auto miner was impressive, I can't wrap my head around the circuity stuff just yet (I only just started playing myself after watching a bunch of Factorio videos, yours included) so watching you not only be able to put it together but troubleshoot on the fly boggles my mind

I can feel like this channel will explode soon Hopin, your content is super fun and enjoyable to watch, Editing is perfect for what we are watching, the pacing is great and the commentary is informative about what were watching Short summary: Keep up the good work, heres a like

Loved the content, the engineering and the music!

I'll happily subscribe for content like this, so much better than overly flashy and annoying channels. Good work sir

Factorio youtubers are like Scandinavian metal bands: the more obscure the better.

This is a funny one to come back to as I'm working on making Core Fragment Refining in SE

He did better with this playthrough then I do in a normal run

This is amazing. Dude you are so intelligent!

Wow this video hast Quality and content exceeding every major youtuber i actively watch. This may be bad on my part but i just wanted to say this is amazing

God damn factorio is beautiful with all the really cool signal stuff. If my smooth brain understood even a fraction of what you explained with the signals, I'd be unstoppable.

Bro you need more videos. Keep doing watchu do. Good work !!

Bro you were on my recommended so i watched and i didn’t realize you were so small keep this shit up man

First thing first (After being late to the party that is.) that splitter ore sorting setup you had for the miners outputs is, by all accounts, impractical for any other kind of run in this game...but it is so satisfying to see it working that I suddenly want to make a reason to use it. Secondly for as much of a slow, tedious, boring hell of a run this must have been, you did make it into a fun and interesting video, with the bonus of a satisfying base in the end. Id be interested to see some of the details of the base design myself at some point. Keep it up my friend.

What an amount of effort ^^ amazing

I feel like this would be a good use case for the Warehousing mod. Large warehouses are like super-chests, each one can hold a huge amount of items, so you could have one for each type of ore to act as buffer chests in the early game. More automated than moving the plates into a bunch of steel chests. Great video, your base designs are nice and clean. Idea for dealing with the ratio problem: you could use prod modules selectively to reduce your consumption of certain raw materials until the ratios lined up with your consumption.

Great video, mate. Keep it up.

Earned my sub easily. Incredibly unique content

This video is just spectacular, I love watching people do absurd, obscene challenges and laughing. So I was very well satisfied by this.

Dude , your voice is amazing . So bassy and strong . Fits perfectly in such time-lapse videos .

just with the fact that you programmed 2 separate things in this, you have earned all of my respect, i hope it slightly offsets the pain you experienced

Just binge watched all three videos, very cool

18:30 Thanks for explaining flip flops better than my digital fundamentals course did in 30 seconds

One of my most fun runs had mixed ores. It's fun building giant sorters/buffers.

Immediately liked for the UT music in the intro

Liked for the explanation on D-flipflops.

Hey, I thought I heard Trans Atlantic by Lizardking in there somewhere, and I check the description, and sure enough, it was indeed used. You have good taste in music, sir!

Too much time waiting for another vid, time to start rewatching. You're a god a tthis game

Fun video, thank you Mr.Wizard

wow thank you for introducing me to the recursive blueprints mod!! I was looking for something like this but didn't find it

Damn you really showed some neat uses for circuits. I am gonna try to copy your ressource counter

For what it's worth, that mixed bowl of candy timed with the music makes me lose my shit every time, without fail.

AHHH, the mythical music of Deus EX in the background!

I really enjoyed this.

I really liked the base building montage.

Nice video man
