New Start; New Enemies; New Designs - RISE OF THE DARK FOG | 01 | Dyson Sphere Program | Let Play

how did you go in to "target mode" lol thats my issues atm, i don't know how to fight them.

Love these videos, thank you Nilaus!

@Nilaus if u don't mind can u also add the un-edited one as well
I prefer to watch hours after hours of video and see the progressed as everything getting build from nothing
trust me the edited one is not bad even i like it as i can quickly catch up with what i miss when i don't have time
but i enjoy it as it take so much time to play this game to get some where and i want to see every second of it :)

Would love to see a master class on the new hub design!!

Question are the blueprints there before you begining to play or do you have made the blueprints

I'm getting pretty sick of hearing the Robot says Turrets as if it's the swearing speech impediment. It's pronounced Turrits...but spelled Turrets. It's pretty annoying when the game developers can't speak proper Engrish!

I've just learned by watching you that you can craft silicon on mother planet... It will be so better for me now Oo" thanks for what you're doing :D

Watching Nilaus play after logging 1000 hours in this game myself. Frantically taking notes and trying to figure out how he just did that?

How did you unlock blueprints already?

I started my world with default settings for the dark fog. It feels to easy, I'm wondering when it gets harder 😅😅I don't want to restart again to set it harder

Keep in mind this is still being worked on. Like in factorio enemy bases need some early game survivablity so they can be threats into the mid-game. Late game you should be able to wipe them easy and the real threat then would be the hive. I think bases need missile defense or missiles need to be nerfed in some way. Not a numbers nerf but a mechanics nerf.

Kinda reminds me of planetary annihilation

his seed is 17754169 for anyone wondering :)

Those notification sounds really need to be lessened.

They should go off when new information is incoming, not because enemies simply continue existing.
ONE. Alarm for a new attack.
One. For each contact.

Thx for the video!
This is gonna be epic!

"I am the tutorial" -Nilaus

The way the dark fog 'thinks' is well designed by the devs. Whilst it could spend a ton of resources angrily attacking you after you evicted their relay station, it understands that it'll be more efficient to just let you off the hook and spend its effort colonising planets it knows you aren't on. It's a shame that it doesn't know that the Icarus has plot armour.

The threat not increasing when you force them to leave makes a little bit of sense. After all, you only displayed the ability to beat them back on the ground, and, as such, aren’t that much of a priority. However, as you said, if you attack the relay station, you display the ability to become a very serious threat, and therefore bump up your position on the to-do list.

How do you have the 500 blueprint limit without having the red science? I’ve been trying to unlock that so I can continue the guide.

That new hub design is genius thank you for everything you do for the community!

"Well im the tutorial"😂 haha love it

Master class!

PARTICLE CANNONS! PARTICLE CANNONS! VOGON BULLDOZERS! PARTICLE CANNONS!

....Something about that just doesn't seem right.

Big brain. Don't fill in the holes. Use them for geothermal energy.

I love that he calls them Biters

How did you build everything so smooth without foundations ? My conveyors bend and draw S patterns everywhere

What's a biter?

Really interested in what the end-game military solutions will look like. Dark matter implosion of the mothership? Or just a classic nuke from orbit?

What are these splitters to lift up the belt? I just have the 4 direction splitter somehow

I love you.

I like how all the dark fog buildings and units have defined roles and resource and construction requirements. Its like you're playing a factory sim while the dark fog are playing an rts/tower defense but they are still playing by some form of rules where they need to gather and distribute resources to build what they build.

please do a video to update older players (beyond just combat). super excited about combat but overwhelmed at all the updates and possibilities since I've been back.

I don't know exactly why this game works for me more than Factorio, but there's something about the visuals and gameplay loop that works for me much better. The Dark Fog definitely have some tweaks that'll need to be made, but from an overall design perspective I think they absolutely nailed it 10/10. They look great, they have a well-established unique logistics mechanic that contrasts the player's, and the combat (for now) feels satisfying. Changing balance is minor, they hit all the necessary goals to make the combat fit the existing factory game. Now if only the devs could figure out how to do a robotic voice more like GLaDOS than the awful AI voice they have now, because dear lord I hate it >_<

15 minutes in and I'm already learning so much

I have pressed the like button. Now I wait for the masterclass.

as a new player to the game i'm at a complete loss as 2 what he is using to have upper and lower belts including the building thats doing it as well, because he seems to have done a fair bit before the first attack

if i could play this game with a friend I would be more inclined to play it. I just get overwhelmed by the production line and logistics of the game and if i could share the load with another it would be great. otherwise this is a great game.

Wooo, so excited to see the start. This is what we've been waiting for Nilaus!

I hate so much how the sharp right angle of the belt coming out of the splitter clips into the side of the splitter

и любители факторию " о боже мой. они придумали главную шину ".

sO HAPPY TO PLAY THIS GAME AGAIN!!! all thanks to you Nilaus! apreciate you so much <3

New Hub!

Masterclasses!!!!

Can't wait for the next episode!

I look forward to seeing the space combat aspect of the dark fog. Will we have to send escort fleets with our interstellar cargo ships? Should be fun.

I look forward to seeing more about your new hub design. DSP has so many instances where a particular item is only used to build one building, so it doesn't seem to make sense to put that item on a bus, but then do you just not build those buildings in the hub, or do you bring those items in some other way? If they're not in this hub, will you have some other kind of hub to build those?

Most of the late game buildings fall into this category. E.g. mk 3 assemblers are the only building that needs particle broadband, advanced miners are the only building that needs optical grating crystals, plane smelters are the only building that needs unipolar magnets quantum chemical plants are the only building that needs strange matter, etc.
