it took me 519 hours to win the game with SE+K2 (first playthrough). So far the most fun game I have ever played in my life, I dont feel it was too complex, still nowhere compared to like Pyanodon, but since I can complete the base game in like 4 hours, it was enough challenging. Ive been waiting now almost a year for factorio 2.0 or SE 0.7 to start a new game with it, and now 3 weeks later we have space age, im a little bit afraid to play SE+K2 with space age because I think it is going to ruin the game with these mods, probably most mods wont be compatable with space age. So i dont know what to do know because I want to play this game so much again, but space age is just too big update, and I feel like 0.7 SE is also somewhere close, maybe next year to play with.
We didn't really... We had a vague target of about 15 early on, but later it was more of a "buff whatever is slowest and go from there", rather than a specific target. I think science production was all overbuilt, so the limiting factor was always resources.
all i can say is: of course there isn't enough throughput when you place multiple core miners on one planet, but understandable as it's not the peak strategy but just a decent one.
@@LaurencePlays which in fairness is my usual circumstance, and your working with like 3-4 other people? yea it's understandable that is would definitely not be too viable.
Speaking (typing?) for myself, I'm glad you included The Foenestra puzzle in your vids as I would not have wanted to do what was effectively a "puzzle outside the game". The constant flipping between the game and the spreadsheets would have driven me nuts. Spoiling it improved my life tremendously ;-) so many thanks for that.
That's something we discuss later too - how it feels a bit disjointed from the rest of the mod because it felt like we very much solved it outside the game. In an episode to come, when I have more free time to make videos! 🙂
@@NegatorUK Hah, yes. Let's make a turing complete computer with combinators and then run Excel on it to solve the Foenestra puzzle! Why didn't we think of that 😀
@@LaurencePlays Lol, well if that's the answer, then maybe not ;-) However in your playthrough I noticed there was a tellltale precursor puzzle (purbulator ?) that seemed to present part of the Foenestra puzzle upfront and that when this idea hit me. I will definitely put the purbulator into combinators next time I do SE (although I'm not sure when that will be) and after that see where it takes me. If it's into a brick wall then so be it..... I was half hoping that the trigonometric part of the puzzle could be simplified down into some sort of Set computation. Otherwise I think there was a Lua script combinator mod on the mod-portal a while back, maybe that still exists.
@@NegatorUK Yeah, there's perhaps some overlap between them in some of the concepts, however whilst I was able to solve the easier puzzles in my head, the harder ones (or rather, the ones that required a calculator), I did in a spreadsheet. I guess it would be possible to do them in a system of combinators though... That would be a fun challenge, although the combinators don't support non-integer Maths...
@29:20 from what I've been able to research the "stargate " puzzle is also random each seed so your puzzle final answer is different than others final answer. you guys showing 'how' you figured it out is really a 'nice' how to figure it out and like you said "spoilers" before you explained what you guys did. I liked the series (found it about season 2 or 3) and can't wait to see you guys do SA together if you decide to do it.
That's my understanding as well. So yeah, you couldn't just plug our set of glyphs into your stargate and have it work, however watching my videos could give you some help into the method of working it out. So, it's not a pre-made solution, but it's a guide of the route to follow. I did try to be careful about spoiler warnings 🙂 I will definitely be playing SA when it comes out, that's very high on my list, but I intend to play it solo first - we're likely to do more multiplayer stuff in the future though.
