Nocemberuary Update (& 24 hour space age finale livestream announcement!)

Hello everyone :) What's up!

After over a month of near-daily streams of the Space Age NPE, we're nearing the completion of the playthrough. In fact, we reached the victory screen in the last stream, and uploaded the game to the factorio Hall of Fame! You can take a look at it here. For those wanting to find the star in the galaxy, you need to go right quite a bit and then up a little (use the nearby star names/numbers to get closer and closer).

To everyone who was enjoying the 10k SPM streams: don't worry! I haven't forgotten about the 10k SPM base, and I WILL complete it, in factorio 1.1 where it all started. Previously I could alternate streams as the aerly access version of space age was just a "put'em in a folder and it works" type of install, but I couldn't update it at some point. The official factorio 2.0 installation which I now updated to mildly conflicts with the factorio 1.1 installation, so to prevent possible loss of both playthroughs, I'll first fully finish the Space Age NPE with The Grand Finale, a 24-HOUR STREAM!

We will try to reach the incredibly distant secret ending (I suppose) which is the Shattered Planet... We have painstakingly designed, tested, bugfixed, quality-grinded, built, and loaded up our ship, and it's finally ready to embark on it's journey, to make a serious attempt to cross the 4 MILLION km distance through the most dense asteroid fields ever TV-troped to exist! Will we make it?

We will set off from Nauvis this Friday Evening CET in a 24-hour long stream! (ish! The stream will go on for as long as is required to make the entire journey (or until the ship gets shredded to... even more asteroids I suppose!), I think 24 hours is a decent ballpark guess provided the ship will survive!

=====================

The streams + family situation have been taking up a lot of my daily time, and the NPE overall took much more time to complete than I thought it would (I thought it'd take me 2-3 weeks, well lmao at myself now I guess). Still, I have been working on a couple one-off videos on the side (quad belt weaving and it's new usefulnesses, Asteroid encounters of the third kind), as well as writing scripts for the eventual edit of the space age playthrough. So I'm not sitting still here, but in terms of postable progress there's not much to see. I did export 2 partial videos (spoilers), the first being the first half of the quad belt weaving video, the second trying out verious timelapse techniques for the shattered planet journey.

You can watch both in the 2 broken links below (they're spoilers for future releases, so I didn't want to make them directly clickable, watch at your own discretion!)

After this friday's 24 hour stream of the "Journey to the Shattered Planet // Space Age NPE FINALE", I'll take a couple days off factorio to recharge my batteries, and for december and january I will be going back to my old schedule, working on edited videos most of the time (the above 2 videos, the space age NPE edit, I also want to finish up the rest of the Kill biters for resources edit), while finishing up the 10k SPM base on stream once-twice a week on friday and/or sunday as before (once the 10k SPM base is done, I'll also make an edit of that playthrough).

Alright, sorry for the Wall of Text, just wanted to give you all an update about what's going on and what will be coming up in the upcoming months!

All the best wishes!
