Next video: *"I Made a GTA VI clone in 1 WEEK!"* This channel always surprises me in a good way lol

Me: Struggling for hours to instantiate an object and populate one of it's variables Code Monkey: So I'll just make a 3D Factorio template in a couple of days...

Survivor Squad, Game Corp DX, Blueprint Tycoon, Ninja Tycoon, and Battle Royale Tycoon. I bought these 5 of your games before going to University for Computer Science. Now that I'm finishing my degree and making my foray into Game Development, you've been the most helpful person on the planet. Thank you, for your great games, and your incredible teaching!

This is way too impressive for those few hours of work. Just amazing. And I love the tilt shift effect. Makes the look really great.

me: nice, managed to make a prototype of the game I'm making in 1 week code monkey:

Next Video : "I Made a Car Simulator Mobile Game in 2 Days!" This channel always surprises me in a good way lol

16 hours? Genius! The game already looks interesting... Thanks dude! Really cool content!

It's a great overview of how Factorio might be working, or maybe how to do something like that in a different genre (RPG game with some small homebase), but I still want to point out that the WHOLE selling point of Factorio is its scale.

Dude, this was super cool!! Well done man! And yeah, this background music is a nice change, sound very good! Keep it!!

Code monkey in 16 hours: I made a Factory Game Me in 4 hours: ah, that's how finally a cube moves

I've been making a factory game like this and making devlogs. I'm pretty sure I'm well over 20 hours by now... It's super inspiring watching you work though :)

The way you explain how you made your game can basically amount for everything I've learned in unity for 2 years. Including stuff I haven't learned yet.

When I started watching this I already had the impression "this guy really knows what he's doing", then you mentioned "...in my game Blueprint Tycoon" and I went "ah, now I know why, he already made a well done game, no wonder then" xD

Looks great, Pleasing interface! Just watching the gameplay feels so good!🔥 Hope you expand this to a big game!

I think some people would like to watch full uncut (even if not commented) project creation, like this factory game project. At least I would be interested :D

Thanks man , for this Amazing video!! Keep Rocking

Your videos are invaluable. I have learnt so much. I highly recommend your courses whenever someone asks me where to start

You are the most bad-ass Dev you always surprise us what you can do! Such a well done game + edited video ;)

Wait, Blueprint Tycoon was one of yours? It's been a while since I've got and played it, long before I got to know your KZfaq channel, but I remember having a lot of fun playing it. Nice.

DOTS project: fluid particles on conveyor belts. Otherwise known as plumbing simulator. :D

for proper FIFO-traffic-jams, you split belts into [lines] (strings of belts/inserters, without merging/splitting branches). your runtime code only deals in lines, lists of the same moving items, these are belts (exclusive-)OR inserters of the same speed. Only your editor deals in elements of lines, that ultimately end up editing lines. A line ends where multiple things output to the same spot. A line ends, where 2 inserters grab from the same spot, OR where 1 inserter grabs from a belt. A line ends, when its string of linked belts/inserters loops back to itself. above 2 conditions may change with every placed/removed item. you may want to also artificially split lines geographically by world-chunks , so that every chunk of game world knows what likes it contains, and 1 line is fully contained in a chunk. this lets us modify and LOD lines faster. adding a bellt (or many items) may split a line in 2 lines. removing a belt may split a line in 2 lines. removing a bellt (or many items) may merge 2 lines into 1 line. (1 location changes, to only have 1 inoput, identical to its output) same for changing the speed of an item. each line starting point queues/priorizes items from its inputs. each line is a FIFO queue, simple to code. its output may be "full", which may push the voids to the inout of its queue, where they then may get filled. a "line is full" flag may also speed up code as a bounding condition.

That's awesome 😍. I couldn't be around in game dev for a while but it's absolutely insane to be back 🔥

Compared to other gamedev KZfaq channels, you focus more on teaching the viewer rather than comedy, great job!

You explain everything you do amazingly! I’m trying to make a third person person pvp game in bolt and your Udemy course is an absolute godsend.

thank you for this video and project files will spend some time learning from that :)

12:50 🥺 You're breaking my heart 💔 I think this is an excellent series! It would be interesting to see "where are they now" for these games after your own videos.

Don't know if anyone asked this but wouldn't implementing a search tree system help with the belts?

I've been considering trying something like this for a while now with the main obstacle I've noticed being that I have no idea how to make conveyors.

OH! Somehow until now I've been completely oblivious to the fact that Blueprint Tycoon is by you and I kept wondering why I occasionally get your vids recommended.

You are awsome! Thanx for sharing your experiences with us! :)

Always when you upload a new video like this when you make a game I always try to make it by myself before watching the video and then watch your video and compare them and I always find things what you did in a much optimized and simpler way than me and I learnt a lot of things from you like this. Thanks for the awesome videos, they are really helpful. Sorry for grammar mistakes I'm hungarian and I'm just learning english. And now if I'm think about it, this is a nice way to learn english too because you are speak english.

Cool video! I'm getting into unity and I think that making a game like this (at some point) seems like a fun challenge.

Wow this is fantastic! I have recently discovered ypur channel and i even have tried making my own game, but it is much harder than i have expected. I know C# quite well but even with that i feel lack in some areas. What are some good videos of yours to start understanding how to write code for unity and how to solve common problems? Thank you for your work, you are a true legend!

this feels like playing a minecraft tech modpack

Great job man! 20 hours isn't enough for me to solve my pathfinding errors 😂

Yk what i imagine a good factory game to look like too? Having to do multiple jobs like maintenance, packaging and other stuff

This is a great video. I am playing a bit with the code and I can see that the safety break to 1000 iterations, limits the size of how big the belt system can get over time. I wonder if there is a better way to check for loops in the belts (which is not wrong in principle) without incurring in an actual infinite loop in the code. Do you have any suggestions on this matter?

Really inspiring video. I'm amazed at how fast you put this together!

I just cannot wait to play it. Seems really interesting as I like thise type of games

Awesome work, Hugo!

You are an absolute beast of a game developer Code Monkey, good job!

I remember running into a similar problem to yours while trying to recreate baba is you's block push system, and I did it in a different manner to you, but this seems pretty smart :) (btw, it'd be cool if you recreated those sorts of systems so that it's scalable and cool, maybe for a series or something)

This is amazing like always. It bet it feels just good to be able to create something that you visualize with skills you inherited over the years aka programming/game designing in this case and this result :D I have one question btw, I can some depth of field and blurry corners, what settings did you tweak in post processing to achieve it and that level of Polish at the end?

It would be very cool to expand this by making the belt system with DOTS!

Can't wait for a course on this, sped up x1000.

Holy shit. In this video you really sound like those vacuum salesmen, that come to your house. And he seems he wants to really sell you that extra insurance and that vacuum key accessory aswell.

i would like soo much to see a complete course, maybe on udemy, on a factory-like game like this, where to learn how to code complex conveyor belts systems!!

Sweet, I'm impressed. I would love to be able to do stuff like this, however lacking imagination is really crappy. :D

I'm so glad you made this video, I'm not really playing these type of games, but one meme started going around in a certain community and I want to join and making a meme factory game will be perfect. Why factory game? Because the meme is one gif that's evolving all the time, and someone made it so you can spam it on discord and it looks like a vertical conveyor belt, is it a stupid idea? Yes, but I can try this genre at least

This is awesome! How would you be able to make buildings cost a specific amount on place? Like a conveyor belt costs 5 money, whereas an assembler will cost 10

Unity's DOTS is a solution looking for a problem, but this type of game is one of those few problems that DOTS would be useful for.

Every time I watch your video's I get so much motivation for my own projects!

4:12 sounds like Yoshi lmao xD

Great work ! Thank you Code Monkey !

You would think a game can't make a performant factory game in unity, but Dyson Sphere Program exists. Fortresscraft Evolved also exists, but that game isn't as performant late game. It could be though if it did some multithreading though

i was wondering when you post anything about this after your live stream of it.

Is the conveyor belt class derived from monobehaviour? and are they directly attached to the object in the scene? The problem I always have is, that each object has its own script that’s constantly being updated which causes massive performance problems after 60-80 belts in the scene each updating an items position. I know it’s probably better to only call an update on an event like if an item appears on the belt or is moved to the next but, the only way I know how to check for those events are with collider or bounds which again is performance heavy at least on my pc. I’ve tried implementing a system in ecs but god that was a headache. I watched your section on the belt system and it’s perfect for what I’m trying to do, I’m just curious if the conveyor class is pure data or a mono behavior. Any help or thoughts would be awesome. Thanks

20 hours? You are a wizard, nice job.

while watching this video, i thought of a game idea like factorio in which there is infinite progression with procedurally generated ore types/names, and compact machines within compact machines. hopefully nobody beats me to making this game a reality.

dude this is nuts! It looks great!

Yoraiz0r. This man is casually supported by the lead sprite artist on Terraria. *What.*

Hey Code Monkey, I really appreciate your videos and currently even going through your udemy tutorials. At this point I have a question... For some environments a hex-based approach is slightly better, because of having the same distance from mid to mid of a hex in all six directions. Can you perhaps take a vid with creating a hex-based grid system?

would you consider selling a course specifically on this type of game? that would be awesome

I want to be a professional game programmer for a big game so these videos are a blessing.

Lol it’s crazy how many “bugs” happen when a game is so new

Not sure if it's asked but you skimmed over "drew some moving arrows for belts", how did you do that? It really looks like an arrow is spawned and travels along the belt. Well done!

Couldn't you make a simple "bool stop = false" variable on every item on an item belt that switches to true whenever the item in front stops or there is no belt in front of it, instead of making that overly complicated path define, merge and split system? (Probably also more performant) Just a random thought. EDIT: After finishing the video, I think even better would be to not have the objects move at all by default. Instead, adjacent objects can request from another object to move to towards them. A belt would move the object behind it towards it with a priority of e.g. 1, while the assembler would move the item towards it with a priority of 10. That would remove the need for extractors/inserters. That would even allow extraction from building to storage, and every object could have its own speed. (This could also be combined with stop system from above).

New Subscriber here. I love the look of this game and I would love to be able to make a game like this but my brain doesn't work like that. Thanks for showing us this game.

Hey Code Monkey! How are you doing? Are you planning to create some content explaining how to implement the conveyour belt system used on this video?! Thank you!

I was wondering how to achieve a smoother movement of the items on the belt. At the moment looks like they get pushed from one belt item to another instead. Any suggestion?

great video, i am starting to like this game

Ah I gotta dig up some old code I wrote that works well for the belts but used for something else entirely. I honestly forgot what the implementation was. Lol. Did you post up on GitHub?

Hey, as always amazing work! Can you tell me how to place the gold nodes (resources) in editor? In my game i would like to have a hidden resources on grid wchich will be loaded into game. Thanks in advance.

hi, i love your job. I have a question: is it possible to adapt the grid system to a terrain with relief?

Saw your post that you were working on a factory game tutorial. I was waiting on a belt system with ecs or another solution of per node processing. Doesn't look like i'll find this here :/ If we look at Dyson Sphere program, the game's belt looks pretty optimized. I really wonder how they made it.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Its pretty cool. One question tho, I downloaded the project and the utils from your website. But I cant seem to find a license file. Is there a license for them (the code specifically) ?

Any chance we could get a macOS build of the Code Monkey app? I do all of my development work (incl. Unity) on a Mac. If it's a matter of needing help to port things, I can potentially do that. :)

im trying to make a factory game too expect there is a player that you can control and you have to use the materials to build defenses to defend yourself from the enemies

Making a similar game right now and is wondering which is a more effective design. Putting belt logic on belt or belt logic on item? I'm hoping to be able to extend it with multiple item per belt & multiple belt speed later

you keep me motivated to develop games 🔥

Respect!

Looks awesome

This is so inspiring guess im picking up one of my old projects

Thanks a ton! Any chance of a 2D version of the prototype? I found it very helpful having the 2D classes on the grid building system. Been working through trying to convert so I can keep plugging away at it if necessary. Just verifying I'm not wasting my time :)

do you have a video explaining how to put this blue grid? is it a shader? a visual grid(using your generic grid)?

13:35 How did you make that blue grid layer that appears when you are about to build something showing where you can build and where you cannot? Thank you

Couldnt you just do the belt system like this? test for item in belt ahead if no item, then move to that belt if there is item, check that belt to move

You are talented individual. I am really glad that I found your and your channel. How to meet you in person some day.

you always best , I have a question how can move an object to new position ? for example user want's to move smelter to new place or wants to change his map design

I'm very interested in the belt system, I really haven't found a good belt system anywhere else, could you maybe give us a tutorial or the whole script? I'd really like to understand how it works

Mindustry 3D!!

And once you have computers being made... you're done? I think the next update to this game should be some way to use the things you're creating towards some kind of progress :)

You could even say,it’s **satisfactory**

Hey Code Monkey, do you have a video I can look at the explains how the buttons work in this game? I see in the project files that they are all using the pfBuildingButton prefab and the Button_UI script. What I don't understand is how the script knows which resource to pick. For example, when I click the conveyor belt button how does the button_UI script know that I want to build a conveyor belt instead of a grabber?

Haha from the thumbnail it looked like you ment you made one single factory in 20 hours lol

Code monkey basically is a normal version of dani

Which of your tutorials do I have to start with in order to understand this whole Gridbase system from start?

Make a course on this now! Thanks
