Honestly, there are quite a lot of let's play on youtybe for Factorio. If you want to stand out, you have to provide something others lack.
No voice over, no "scenarizing", what exactly are you aiming to provide to your viewers ?

Thanks for the reply.
Well your'e right that I need to offer something different And I know YouTube is a long shot especially gaming.
I finally bought a PC that can game and record anything and I think its a good time to start.
I thought that Factorio will be a good starting point as I am familiar with it.
About the no voice, I tried recording with voice with different games but Im not confident enough and I have nothing to say most of the time, But the main reason is that English is not my main language so I have an accent which Im to comfortable with I might try anyway..

I know no voice is bad, I hate videos that have no voice hehe. I will try recording more and maybe preparing what to say before or voicing it over the recording in the future (If I will continue of course)
But maybe some people will like a video with no nonsense and with a video that gets to the point. (Like how "Primitive Technology" does it )

There are ways to overcome the lack of voice : you can add captions, speed up the video during "boring" parts to focus on the ones you want to outline, ...
What is the goal of your let's play ? do you want to teach people things ? do you want to entertain them ?

I do skip the boring parts and speed up stuff (did you watch it? :< )
And I guess Entertain.. Maybe sometimes ill show something in a more Educational way but mostly for Entertainment

I did watch it, I'd say you skip some parts, but you can also just speed up the video. To illustrate, I'll link you to a couple videos of youtubers I follow (it's for KSP, but it's to illustrate what I had in mind).

I see what you mean, I never edited anything in my life tough
This is my first attempt, I thought about Text in the video I wasn't sure but it would be much better now that I think about it.
ALSO! I love KSP

Good stuff. Making videos is hard work and the first videos might not get a ton of views but if you like doing it then stick with it and it will work out.

Just believe and it'll work.

(Or drink a lot of coffee before you do your gameplay and the audience won't know what you are doing)
