Warpzone 5!

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Warpzone 5!

I though it was gonna be a single video for this one, but after writing the script it was over 6000 words (about 45-60 minutes depending on how much "shut-up-and-let-the-footage-tell-the-story"-time the playthrough contains (for this warptorio run style, there's not a lot of quiet time involved though, so we have to deal with my waterfall of words)

I still think warpzone 6 will be a single video, as we covered most of the basics now, and we're basically grinding it out to the next base improvement possibility! However, by now I've learned I must never underestimate my tendency to go off on tangents, so who knows how it will go. We will see. Let me know if the level of detail remains interesting to you, or if you feel it's dragging on a bit, every tidbit of feedback will have a small effect on my tendencies.

So, the Krastorio streams are finished, or at least the playthrough element of it, I may do one more (partial?) postgame stream trying to investigate some of krastorio's easter eggs and/or some of the endgame possibilities not required for victory.  

Soon though, I'll be starting a new kind of playthrough. I'm thinking about doing a "real warptorio playthrough", where we MUST defend the platform or we die (probably by placing a "sacred structure" on the warp platform, like a superheated nuclear reactor. I also looked into just making the teleporters accessible for biters, hoping I'd need to just change a 0 into a 1 on something like usable.by.force.enemy=1 , but it seems not that simple hehe. (yeah I'm one of those annoying " pseudo-coders", sorry to all you real coders out there!)

Other ideas include picking up from my conclusion of the Ultimate DeathWorld Challenge (where we eradicated every last biter on a 600% biters, but otherwise pure deathworld preset), and expanding it to a 1000 SPM base (yes, that requires to pop the quantum biters into existance, actually quite a lot of them I imagine). Or, alternatively, just get started on my 10k SPM beltbased factory (starting out with the self-balancing starter base I posted quite a while ago), and save the recordings to edit into a condensed youtube series. Or, maybe, start space exploration? Anyway,

I'm leaning towards doing the warptorio stream first, as that will be a shorter project than the other options. I'll do a poll here on the next big thing.

Enjoy the episode!
