Youtubers make it look so easy!

[pemmons1]

They fly around in the air when building factories, even to demonstrate "starter factories." And they show colored maps indicating every potential resource. I can't do either of these. What does it take before I can?

This is a "starter factory" just the basic items.

No flying done in this video:

Youtube = watching Videos
Satisfactory = playing a game.

Imo most youtubers have a weird taste in recipes, use a lot of creative functions and they hardly have the time to play a game normally because they have to produce new content.

Play your own game and don't compare yourself to them. Some Content creators lose their creativity along the years.

well they normal played a ton before hand in prior updates so they have some ides what going on lol. they also tend to use day light and flying mods/commands for when showing off places.

it a fun game just hang in there and get past the starter cluster f-ck :P

Content creation is for most of the big ones a full time job. They work 3 days to make a 20 minute video.
Watch streams and see what the grind is all about.

I have never watched Scalti before. The second video looks Interesting. I usually watch Nilaus.

To the OP: In the beginning, I played the early game over and over. It burns into your brain eventually after a 1000 hours or so. (Note that most of my hours are on Epic. I bought the game a second time later on Steam. I can't stop playing!)

As for flying, in U7 I always use the Just Fly mod and in U8, the new built in Fly mode. I prefer a 3rd Person view when playing these kind of games.

The map of resources (which almost everyone seems to use, and is fantastic) is https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map

When you get 2000 or more hours into the game things sorta just come natural. You have allready figured out the best way to connect stuff, and you can just rush through connecting things with confidence that when you hook up the power, every thing will just run like it is supposed to.
Also you get to know the map really well and have a good sense of where your at in comparison to important nodes in the game.

There's also the fact that out of four hours or more of raw video you'll be lucky to get maybe ten minutes of usable footage. What you see on youtube is typically just the most entertaining bits out of hours and hours and hours of playtime. Well, the most entertaining in the eyes of whoever does the editing at any rate.

Try to, if you can, watching someone online, twitch maybe!
I have a 200+ hours save, but i recorded... 1:30 hour video? Only showing what I've changed on my layout!
Basically I've spend some time online building and talking, because it's take a LONG time to do everything!
Unfortunaly, those kinda of videos, you will see basically nothing and everything done!
My "teaching" video of Satisfactory is 2-3 hours long, so yeah, not very small!

I am avoiding videos because I dont want to spoil myself, so only watched the first one. Seems like I am doing it right, seems like good content. Fast video, and properly explained the process, also liked those highlights.

[Remnar]

If there's any youtuber I could recommend, it is Nilaus. His way of doing things rubbed off on me. His work is impressive, especially his update 5 play through. He doesn't do anything fake or stupid big. Just plays the game and teaches how to do some things.

Nah, i know is super heavy, but is the "detailed how-to"!

I go over the why and concepts!

I will probably do some other videos explaining the basics of each mechanic, but i will do in english, because the community PT-BR, on automation games is very, VERY small

Please tell more. I have the latest version of the game and didn't know that there was a built-in fly mode. How do you get to it?

Depends on what you wanna know and what subject of the video is!
When i show the why's, the How's, of basically everything, It take this!

You maybe know a lot or little, we, who teach, must say to everyone and explain thinking about someone that doesn't know every single basic thing!

Soo yeah, take's time! Just like class!
