Factorio Forums

Hey folks,

I am excited to announce that myself and Alex from FKOD Gaming (one of the Hydra heads) are starting a multiplayer Factorio playthrough.
We will be trying to the best of our ability to upload an episode every day. We will be doing things a little differently though, unless we get feedback asking us to change it. What I mean by this is... We will be alternating our uploads per channel. i.e, episode 1 will go on both channels, episode 2 will go on Alex's, 3 on mine, 4 on his etc...
There will be a playlist on both our channels of the entire series so you can watch it more easily. We would like your feedback though about this upload scenario. If you guys would prefer us to upload each episode to both our channels, we can do that too. But for now, we feel this way is best to evenly split the viewship/video load.

Our game is a "hardmode" setup with biter settings on maximum. We have also set the resources to be larger and more rich, but lower frequency so we will have to venture out to get more and use trains!

As with the Hydra Dilemma and most other series, we are not sure at this point how long the playthrough will go on for, but most likely just until we get bored of it or people start losing interest.

One last thing... Because of the contraint of trying to find a time in both our schedules to play/record, we are recording multiple episode in advance. Most likely 5-7 or more in a session, so any suggestions for things in our game will probably not be implemented for multiple episode. We want you to know this ISN'T because we are ignoring you or anything, but simply for the reasons listed above. Most likely we will respond to your comments anyway with short order so you at least know your feedback was heard and understood.

I hope you all enjoy, and look forward to any suggestions and feedback you may have!

Thanks mate! hopefully at some point, all the Hydra players can get together and do a proper multiplayer game.

Thats probably unlikely. My internet connection isn't allowing anything more than a 2 player game at this current stage of development. Hopefully with upcoming updates the brute force of the connection will become less of an issue and will allow bigger MP games for me.

The latest episode is up here: http://youtu.be/vTQyAg8lJ1g

I apologize in advance for the audio problems. There were some technical difficulties during recording, and everyone responsible has since been canned.

Thanks for watching!

Alright guys episode 3 is live! http://youtu.be/SaZIsI6LTRE

We start making some decent progress, but of course our neighbors keep interrupting us.

Hope you all enjoy!

That's too bad. Does it make a difference if you host or not? I'm assuming the bandwidth requirements would be lower if you're acting as a client rather than the server (although I really don't know).

There isn't hosting everybody acts as a host, its why you can connect to anybody in the game

Good evening everyone. blah blah, something witty, episode 4

I don't think our neighbors like us... perhaps we should bake them a pie?

Cool. I don't think we even knew that was an option when we were originally posting the series. Sorry about that.

We get pretty heavily invaded in this one, and realize we were completely mistaken about where the biters where coming from... Ooops. :p

Hope you all enjoy, and look forward to any feedback you have!

P.S. We did quite a lot of recording today, got several more episodes done and things really start getting interesting... Let's just say I find out exactly how tough a tank is, or isn't... :p
