Hi.

I just started uploading some tutorials aimed at new players. I know there is an ingame tutorial as well, but I know some people prefer the video ones.
Feel free to list any concepts you think I should cover, or any mistakes in my videos :)

Playlist: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL ... TM_dZ_NEoN

I would kind of like to see a video detailing how the chemical plant and oil processing works. I feel like the in-game tutorial didn't explain it very well, although that's probably just me.

I'll do that as soon as I tech up in that save. :)

Awesome. I'm gonna work on a few more tonight, but I need to play some off camera first. Any specific topic you want to see covered?

One of the best video tutorials for Factorio till now! :)

Some things to mention:

Basic resources: stone, iron, copper, coal, wood and ... water.

You could show the coal joseki!? (Two burner miners fill themselves on coal field)

Show them how to place poles while running! (Like belts)

Thanks :)
I might show how to make a coal fueled coal mining system, but I always try to tech up to electricity as quick as possible, as I don't like making burner equipment that's going to be useless when I got it all set up.
