Man Distant Worlds Universe was probably my favorite game from the last ~10 years. I am so stoked for DW2 to finally be out, and for it to be as good as it is!! Woot woot!
10:30 This is exactly what happened to me, I needed silicon to build a mining station at a silicon rich planet but the pesky private ships were not interested…
You are my dependable source of long videos without clickbait that I can just sit back and enjoy without constantly having to pick another video. Well written well presented and well taught.
You also cost me a lot of money because you chose such awesome games I've not heard of yet.
Any news about the ship design guide ? I'm waiting for it 😀
One thing I don't understand is how to repair a ship with a destroyed engine that can't move. Construction ship context menu doesn't give an option to repair a damaged ship. What do I do with them?
How does one get more scientists
Thanks for the pointers. Really looking forward to playing this when I get a chance, I was a huge fan of the first one.
The designer recomends you use teh external modules first, then move onto the internal modules. Why is that?
I can't stand how I can't tell the Advisor to not upgrade just 1 specific ship design. It's all ships or nothing. Really hate that. Why can't I deselect the one ship I don't want them constantly editing my weapon loadouts on while still having them update all other ships/bases?
i was about to play this game, then i watched this video. you made it sound so complicated that i changed my mind and am now not going to play it.
Clearly one of the better videos out there! The resources section was excellent!
Hey, I just wanna say that I am currently watching all of your vids for planet zoo and man am I loving it! I think your killing it so far (from where I am up to) and I think you have a great vibe and you are super creative, I can’t wait to see what else you have in store!
Been playing for about 3 hours now. This is everything Stellaris horrifically failed to be, and they just announced yet another unwanted DLC.😂😂😂😂😂 Fuck them, I'm done with that trash game.
Only thing I wish we had here is research tech description. I have no idea why each tech is supposed to do. I can only assume things like planetary control will lower corruption and stuff?
Maybe a new reactor will keep my ships from running out of energy so warp isn't nerfed.
To be fair, I can do without it. It's still worlds better than Stellaris.❤
all looks like shits compared to stellaris
I love the systems in this game, now if we could combine those with AAA graphics. One can dream!
Are you doing playground anymore?!?!
I'd be interested in deep dive videos. I couldn't get into DW1 but enjoying the new one quite a bit.
Going to be honest. Coming from stellaris to this feels like going from 6th grade math to quantum mechanics without any background. Thank you for helping to clarify some things
After feeling lost for a few hours this will definitely help get me on my feet, lots of things to think about now. Always love it when a game makes you think about infrastructure/placement as well as the numbers.
Please make a video on ship building !!! Thanks !!!
You have my upvote, but I won't watch the video – I wanna make all the rookie mistakes myself. 🙂
im taking a break from stellaris, just due to the patch crazyness and how mods keep crashing. (ugh) ty for the video man.
Great video. I'd love to watch a video of yours on customzing ships and stations. Subscribed for future content!
Very nice and informative Video. A big like and hopefully some more videos on DW2 in the future. You definitely woke up my interest for ship design. Keep up the good work!
30:15 YES please go into the fleet design stuff more. I'm having an issue where I made a bunch of plans to add stealth to all my ships. It keeps updating which I want it to do but from my designs as the base.
Maximize research. – hive minds sad face
Great video! I actually picked up the game thanks to your videos. I would also like to see a video on how to grow colonies' economies. Unlike in say Stellaris, where colonial building is almost no brainer…DW2 really, really gets me pondering on what I really need to do to get those income. Keep up the great work!!!
holy crap – this game reminds me of an advanced factorio and stellaris and simcity game, with automation that slightly can make it automated and lets me focus on the things i really like 😀
@PartyElite – Do you have any idea why when a ship is ordered to decommission it will stall at 50% "Construction" at the shipyard for a seemingly insufferable amount of time? Is it safe to go and manually scuttle them in terms of not losing potential technology or materials recovered at this 50% state?
I had no idea that you could manually design and upgrade ships individually. I thought it was an everything or nothing situation with the automation. Thank you!!
Would adore a ship design and fleet order breakdown videos.
I really need to figure out how to designate fleets to guard specific stations/colonies than my homeworld
Excellent video. New to this type of game and your in-depth explanations are extremely helpful in overcoming the initial shock of the complexity. Please do as many deep-dives as you can in the near future. Thanks.
