New Factorio series and "competition" for EG2 keys
🕑 Added 2021-04-13 17:00:28 +0000 UTCThank you for your feedback on the previous poll about upcoming content.
Not surprisingly there is a vast majority in favor of more Factorio content. I want that myself, but I've been waiting for that next good idea to come around... I think I have it now ;)
It will be a combined Twitch/YouTube series, but everything for YouTube will be recorded separate, though the design will take place on Twitch streams.
YouTube series: "Base-in-a-Book"
I want to design a complete base with blueprints that can be used to build along i.e. very beginner friendly, but it will also be a template for veterans who want to build megabase, but don't want to build the starter base... yet again
Twitch series: "Chat vs. Streamer"
The design process for the YouTube series will be too easy for a livestream series, so I have decided to mix it up, by allowing the viewers to plant timed bombs and spawn Biter nests in and around the base as a result of subs and donations. That should make for some fun and interesting distractions while I try to design a base-in-a-book
Evil Genius 2 Giveaway
Additionally, I have been given 2 Keys for Evil Genius 2: World Domination by Rebellion that I want to give away to Patreons. There are very strict rules for giveaways, so these are the rules:
- Any Patreon can particitate and Patronage Tier has no impact
- Only Patreons already signed up can join i.e. no participation for Patreons joining after this is posted (prevent pay-to-join)
- It cannot be determined by chance, so it will have to be based on merit
If you are interested in a key for EG2, then reply below with a reason why you should have it. The best 2 reasons will be rewarded with a copy (1 is a premium and 1 is a standard version). I will determine the winners in a week :)
EDIT: Keys have been given out now

"Base-in-a-book" sounds fantastic! Looking forward to it.

I have found your mega base series exceptional. It has helped me to learn about the game. I have used a lot of your blueprints great designs.

love the new series. dreams of space exploration next.

Excited to see you've found a new concept for your next stream and I look forward to seeing the design work as always. Thanks for all the excellent content and your entertaining dialogue. As for the EG2 key: It would let me live out my childhood dream of taking over the world, my friends and I had a take over the world club and would meet to discuss ideas and draft up concepts for bases and devices.

I love the idea for the new series. Going to watch as much as I can. Why should I want the key for EG2 : well I'm 60+, so I have to play as much games as I can, before I kick the bucket. and since good games have a steep price these days, all help is welcome :-)

Well, as someone that doesn't have the game, I'd love an opportunity to throw my name in the hat to win a copy. I don't think I deserve it for any particular reason. I'm just a humble guy who enjoys Nilaus content and shows that off where I can (patreon, twitch sub, etc.). My girlfriend also thinks its cute that I get all excited to watch and play nerdy factory building games, so you know... maybe that's reason enough. -DaClownie
Robert Hall
Yeah, have the game already, I'd rather it went to someone who possibly couldn't afford it etc..
Chris Tettamanti
Please don't add me into the mix for the software. I just want to say I love your twitch channel and VODs on YouTube. Thanks for your dedication to the Factorio community!

This is going to be awesome! I really enjoy how you make tileable designs for mega bases this will be cool to see chat vs streamer since you might have to actually build defenses instead of just going and clearing out bitters and getting back to building
Marten Koedam
Can't wait for the Chat vs Streamer, that'll be fun
Mark Riggs
I really love the idea of a base in a book type series, i'm very much looking forward to being able to watch that on youtube!

I deserve an EG2 key because: When playing multiplayer with my friends I don't let anyone build on the sacred path.

"Base in a book" sounds perfect for me. I'm almost 2000 hours in factorio, I mainly play it to relax. I use blueprints all the time, and mainly yours! While I like designing my own systems, sometimes it can be a bit stressful, especially when free time is limited. Blueprints are totally the way to go in that case. Keep up the great content :)
