Hi! Deep apologies but I was rushing through the end of the edit for this video as I was catching a flight home for Christmas. I forgot to upload the blueprints :( so won’t have them or the save uploaded until the 28th - Edit * They're uploaded and available now!

started this game to escape from a depressive episode, ur videos help me a lot, i dont understand things easily, so you are doing more than others in terms of efforts, just want u to know ur helping a troubled soul out a lot.

The tractor knows where it is because it knows where it isn't...

I only just noticed this as you were working with the MAM, but fun fact: the requirements for Reanimated SAM and Fluctuators to upgrade the depot are all prime numbers.

Happy new year Darren! Can't wait to see more in 2025

Listening to one part this video was crazy.  Darren stated he has never completed the game......  He has the most amazing builds and complexity to his builds I have see. The hours he must have in this game and not finished it?  Gotta say it makes me just think... yeah i don't have that kinda time.  Your builds are truly awesome Darren.  I look forward to seeing more!

38:27, Finally, a YouTuber who acknowledges the truck station bug. It was driving me nuts trying to figure out why the load wouldn't work. Thanks Darren.

Hey, your videos are always nice to watch. Currently rewatching this series while I started a fresh 1.2 World.
Not getting the Circuit Boards early to research the output multiplyer before finishing Phase 2 did break me today 😭

31:24 for anyone following this along still, there's an iron node just around the corner. You can make your steel pipes right at this location. Makes the logistics for your Noblisks a little simpler.

@26:00 Satisfactory Calculator will let you set an altitude filter, so you can see each layer on the multi-story layouts (right edge of map).

What Darren said there at the end is so true, indeed SF videos take a long time to make, especially when you've recorded several HOURS of content and try to edit it down to only 1 hour or so. But, SF is a super fun game and these videos are fun and inspiring as well. Have a great new year :)

I've starting playing this game again recently. Never got really far because I just couldn't oversee everything for the 2nd phase. Now I've been playing along with your video's and I've finally done the 2nd phase, thank you so much! It really took quite some hours to get here, so I know how much time you must have spend to create these video's. Very much appreciated! On to the next video!!!

I had no idea blueprint subcategories interfaced with the radial wheel, that's fantastic!

Merry Xmas Darren, the nice comments you're getting off people are genuine, your videos are Fun and Instructional and thanks to them I myself have completely changed how I work out building my bases in Satisfactory.

Enjoy your time off over Xmas mate and I'll look forward to watching your future videos in the New Year. Much Luv

After stepping away, after 600 hours of the game somewhere around 0.6, and returning after more than a year, your series has helped me getting up and running again in a quick way. I enjoy your insights and learned a few things thanks to your tips. Much appreciated!

There is something about your satisfactory videos that just makes the game even better. The introduction from the tutorials into the more impressive stuff transitions so nicely; it is really, really entertaining. I bought the game because of your videos and I am enjoying it immensely. The magic of focusing my limited brainpower into automating stuff makes my problems feel smaller. This game is therapeutic, and so are your videos dude!

First proper dive into your, or any for that matter, Satisfactory content and it is amazing! I love how you find a way to make the content for casual non-players like myself, beginner players looking to begin, and players looking to match and level up their style to yours. You weave it all in with your personality, comedic interjections, and omnipresent self deprecations! Cheers to you Darren and thank you!

I really hope you are feeling better on your energy and health fronts and I am absolutely loving the beginnings of your Star Rupture Playthrough! Hello to Darren from the past! And to Darren in 02/26, we are lucky to have your stellar content! (If you really do still see this now haha)

I’m glad I’m not the only one who is experiencing the truck station glitch. I’ve started just ignoring it because the route will work properly when it is automated. As long as you enter the loading zone and pause long enough you’re good.

stingers are really one of the most amazing things the devs did. Even seasoned gamers and seasoned satisfactory players still get scared when one jumps you
