Really like these dense short explaination of factorio. There isn't much factorio related video that is less than 20 min.

[icaruzzzzzz]

I've really enjoyed this new fast, heavily editted and to the point tutorial. Keep up the good work!

[espressocookie]

this is how I hear it: so to start, get 12 iron miners, 12 coal miners, 4 copper... *looks at my recommended for 20 seconds* Next, you want to get your purple science.

Thanks to this and the blueprints, I was able to get the "Getting on track like a pro" Achievement, which required me to make a locomotive in under 90 minutes. I've watched all the master class playlist, thanks for all the tutorial and blueprints. Really useful

[tandamien]

some ideas for future tutorials:
1. train signals
2. how to design and build a train station
3. logistics network
4. circuit network (not sure youre into that)
5. power (which is better? best/optimal designs)
6. how to enter megabase stage after first rocket

I haven't played in a few months, but now I want to play again. I used your blueprints before, and I'll use em forever. Best guides out there.

[rngrtt]

Your videos are awesome, not only do you freely provide blueprints for those in need, you also take the time to explain the thought process for those who want to design their own blueprint by themselves.

[AlexanderWongSaysHi]

This is a great new format! Much more concise than polling through all the old 0.17 videos. Thank you very much, Nilaus!

[ArtistDylan]

So funny you posted this, because I had been working on a start up base for red and green science with just the essentials, I think I have a good one figured out but I am surprised to see how similar mine is to what you have in the video. Thumbs up

[swammer]

That was a really good tutorial on jump start bases. Well done.

[matthewirwin]

Learning to build a jump start base and a mall/hub right off the bat made getting into mid/late game go from hours/days to just a hour or two. One of my best steps forward in factorio.

[krzyszwojciech]

We need a thorough discussion of the best ways to use your favourites: green logistic chests!
Seems like a great series is being created! Keep'em coming!

[jorenvanroosbroeck]

I just watched all masterclass episodes. Even as a expirienced player it is interesting to see other people builds and ideas. Only thing that i would like different is a masterclass on expensive mode.

[booknook]

Just placing everything for the blueprint was really helpful for learning what is possible in this game. There were a ton of random little ideas I had no idea were possible inside of it

[dadof]

Very well done, Nilaus! The editing and pacing is great. Excited to see more! I am sure you will get plenty of WDYJ advice, but you are definitely off to a great start.

[Posidon]

As a beginner I LOVE your videos... I have trouble with the fallowing subjects and i think this series will be the best place to find the answers.... Network/beacons we typically don't use it because its not easy for me to under stand... Trains mostly unloading-stations and signals... thanks look forward to more content !

[elanasilverman]

THANK YOU!!! You have answered my prayers!!!

I'm a noob, it's not easy for me to keep up. But this is a DAMNED GOOD TUTORIAL - and it's been INVALUABLE. 😃 I slogged through enough ultimately useless material to get kind of cranky about it. It made me really happy to find a way to advance beyond what I can bumble through on my own in peaceful free-play mode.

[canebro]

I like the mixed circuit/gear belt, well done

[Kevbotxd]

Just bought the game finally out of boredom and this tutorial series was definitely what I was looking for!
