I love these sort of games when they actually show resources and you can see them stockpiled. There is some great satisfaction from seeing a storage area full to the bring of resources...i used to like Caesar games when all your pots started to fill up

@liamwalton4183 5 жыл бұрын

Or seeing extra caravans and such. In the old Total War games, the more trade coming through a city would fill roads with caavans and the sea with trade routes with ships. The newer games just have boring lines that you can hover over for details

I like them too there vary satisfying. just so you know in the future its not to the bring the expression is full to the brim as in the brim of a bath tub, coffee cup, pool, net, basket and so on.

the graphics programmers for this seem to be great at that, all the graphics are like that, changing in all sorts of ways based on the state of the machine. colonists play basketball, bots actually grab the charger with their hands to recharge, solar panels aim at the sun, farms show different crops based on what is selected and how far along they've grown, etc.etc. the large storage areas actually move 5 blocks of resource at a time with a crane, and stack them logically row by row.

I have to hand it to you Quill18. I have looked at a few other "Surviving Mars" KZfaq Vids and have to say.... yours are the best and most comprehensive for beginners like me. Your vids are engaging and use the EXACT correct amount of cadence to keep things moving forward for a quick understanding of how to be successful in what is a very complex game with a steep learning curve. Your vids, for me at least, are lessening that learning curve dramatically. Kudos and please keep the Surviving Mars vids coming. GREAT STUFF my friend!!!!

Ye, Quill has a hard time explaining simple stuff in a non-patronizing manner... He is great at explaining complicated stuff, but when it comes to this really simple stuff he just sounds like he is talking to a child. I don't know what it is, maybe because he explains to much, maybe the way he explains it, but really starts to grate on me...

@Kholdaimon 6 жыл бұрын

He is definitely not intentionally patronising... Quill isn't patronizing, he just sounds patronizing when he explains this simple stuff... I think it is because he adds a few unnecessary remarks, like saying dust is bad when that is just plain obvious after he already explained the mechanic of dust causing more maintenance being required at the start. And the explanation of the energy buildings and their opening and closing, that could have been done in 10 seconds but he went into far to much detail and saying the most obvious things...

Hey, very nice series, much appreciated ! I have some questions, regarding how exactly does the ~"All extractors contaminate nearby buildings with dust"~ concept works specifically for the Concrete Extractor : - Dust is generated around the pit from where the concrete is extracted, or is generated around the building itself ? ( and how far does it extend?) - Two Concrete extractors placed right next to each-other, get twice as contaminated with dust, or are they immune to dust ? Bonus question : What are the things that are not affected by contamination with dust ? (by things i mean not just buildings, but anything that is next to an Extractor. Ex: cables, batteries, rovers, drones, resources etc)

Quill, you are by far my favorite KZfaqr. I LOVE watching your videos because of the knowledge you bring to the table of any game you play. You always seem to know what you are doing and I learn a great deal just by watching you play. However this series is mind numbingly slow and I am forced to watch other KZfaqrs who play at the same pace, not because they are making a Tutorial but because they are morons and have no Idea what they are doing. I feel you could make a comprehensive tutorial playing at your normal pace and the content provided would still be the best on KZfaq.
