Can You Beat Factorio on The OLDEST Available Version?

Have you ever felt sentimental about the good old days? Are you missing the times when your life seemed easier? When all of your things were in the right place? Then- What are you doing?! Just step for a little right into the time capsule with us- Go to the factorio.com and download the oldest available version of the game, it's almost like being back in 2011 again. So- Let's get started, shall we? Factorio is the game about expanding your own Factory; Exploring science; And being mindful of the

surrounding nature. Where your main goal is to- Prepare the planet for colonizing forces from the Earth.. Um.. I think there might be some sort of desync over here.. So- Welcome back to Factorio. let's Let's play some Factorio. The Factory- Has to begin. Here with the help come drill is putting ores straight into furnaces, that are a great way to start your own Enterprise. This time, however- You have to slow down a bit. Because: Your starting drill isn't here- And unfortunately.. You're missin

g one plate of iron to create it. Okay- So why do don't you just make a Pickaxe instead? Pickaxes have this irresistible advantage of being a tool. So you can finally mine Iron by your own hands, throw it into your homemade furnace- And feel like a Chinese farmer in 1953- By producing the worst imaginable quality product.. The main change in this version of Factorio is in controls. The left mouse button does what the right one's supposed to do- And the right one does what the left is supposed to

do.. It's kind of like in Minecraft to be honest. Around 15 minutes later: I got down to the electricity. And- I don't want to imply anything.. But those boilers looks kind of suspicious if you ask me. And after that- Things finally went on track. I'm not gonna lie- I think- I think we're good. During the rise of my Factory: I have noticed some mysterious object on the horizon. What the [ __ ] is that? Is that- Is that some sort of of Scottish Castle over here? And- Who the [ __ ] are those men

? Um- Hello? Okay let's leave them alone. So- I think it's the right time to do our first research. For this honorable event I've chosen iron working. Because: Iron and Steel are the foundation of a successful economy. The red science recipe has not changed since then. So after quick crafting- The research was here. Um Uh- Thanks Thanks for bringing some.. Good news I think. With research- Comes expansion. The red science- Needs to get automated. So far I have been getting resources from these s

mall and [ __ ] ore deposits. But fortunately nearby me- Were there bigger friends. And I'm going to play it the way- That they will become my friends as well. Forest logging is progressing at an alarming speed- That is truly terrifying. The Factory continued booming. Increasing its productivity, and providing us with new interesting technologies. Until the locals- Didn't really appreciate it and decided to attack. Ehmm You know- It's indeed a great shame to get defeated by them.. I should have

thought about creating some kind of defense beforehand.. Or stock my weapons with better ones.. Such things would probably have saved me from this defeat.. So let me just- Let me just load the save. And this time- I'm ready. UMMMMMMMMM I'M SO GOOD AT THE GAME. However- The red science facility has finally been achieved. With this card on: The research can now begin at much higher scale. Hey- do you like Radars? 📻 Great to hear that- Because they are in this version too. Radars in Factorio provi

de you with this excellent functionality, that is: Exploring surrounding areas and updating their status on your map. Or- at least that's the idea behind them, because as far as I can tell: Everybody is here for the main dish which is a satellite view of your Factory. Well. You won't find that functionality here, so updating your surrounding status needs to be enough for now. Usually at the beginning you need one of those- Maybe two if you want to keep an eye on your funky copper mine as well. S

o with that being said: I've decided to set up nine of them. You may think that this is stupid or unpractical.. But I know that flow of information is all around us- AND WE NEED TO KNOW. However- The second I did that: I realized that the electricity is running like [ __ ] . It seemed like the power plant had to go through some upgrades. For this task I've decided to use the old Factorio tactic. Tactic that consist of destroying the whole thing, and rebuilding it from the scratch- Without lookin

g at any consequences. Process that came out without absolutely any problems- Whatsoever. And once I finished: I went into my kitchen; Made myself a tasty pizza; And spent the rest of the day day watching my favorite low-income CaseOh_. Next day: I woke up and immediately jumped into Factorio. And after looking at my Factory for an estimated length of 3 seconds.. I decided that this nation needs some reforms. Let me change a few things: I'm going to expand the whole smelting in infrastructure; R

ebuild the whole research center- Because the old one was.. Kinda crappy. Build the green science production; AND LOOK AT THAT BOYS: Our business results are absolutely booming right now. So- Let's get on with our next big research.. 🚂 Trains. 🚅 To achieve it: We have a few steps to make. So while I had been waiting for it- I thought I'd check out the in-game music. And the moment I did so.. I started hearing his voice inside my head once again.. 𝕃 𝕖 𝕥 𝕪 𝕠 𝕦 𝕣 𝕡 𝕝 𝕒 𝕟 𝕤 𝕓 𝕖

𝕕 𝕒 𝕣 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 𝕕 𝕚 𝕞 𝕡 𝕖 𝕟 𝕖 𝕥 𝕣 𝕒 𝕓 𝕝 𝕖 𝕒 𝕤 𝕟 𝕚 𝕘 𝕙 𝕥 , 𝕒 𝕟 𝕕 𝕨 𝕙 𝕖 𝕟 𝕪 𝕠 𝕦 𝕞 𝕠 𝕧 𝕖 , 𝕗 𝕒 𝕝 𝕝 𝕝 𝕚 𝕜 𝕖 𝕒 𝕥 𝕙 𝕦 𝕟 𝕕 𝕖 𝕣 𝕓 𝕠 𝕝 𝕥 . What have we ended up? Oh- Yeah. The trains. So- Now it's time to build our network. My eye got cut by the area west from the Factory, which is covered in many valuable resources that are going to be helpful for the fresh growing Enterprise. It's a short line so building it wouldn't seem to b

e a difficult task. Until you don't realize, that in this version of the game: Straight and curved rails- Are two separate items. I mean: Don't get me wrong- That- To be honest: makes perfect sense. That how it would probably work in reality. However once you get back to reality- You have to get used to it. Back down in the Factory: I realized that we'd started running low on iron. That shouldn't be a big problem, since our railroad has just been completed; And all we have to do: Is connect the

new Iron Source into the system- Right? NAH- Instead of that: I'm about to change the whole iron smelting process- Because the old one was.. Kinda unpleasant. I'll move the laps to the second part of the Factory; Rebuild the whole side production; And build the big-[ __ ] main bus through the whole Factory; All of that took me way too long- Because after 3 hours since the iron was missing.. The Factory blood had finally started flowing once again.. Okay- Don't blame me. The controls are a bit ro

ugh in this version of the game, and- I cannot just change them like that, because- 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒚 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒃𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒇 𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒂 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒕𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒈 𝒑𝒊𝒔𝒔. Okay- So: Let's talk about biters. Or should I say: 𝕬𝖇𝖔𝖚𝖙 𝖒𝖞𝖘𝖙𝖊𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖚𝖘 𝖚𝖓𝖎𝖉𝖊𝖓𝖙𝖎𝖋𝖎𝖊𝖉 𝖒𝖊𝖓. In the current versions of Factorio: Biters are the essention of eco-activism. The peculiar enemy of science- And progress. If you release too much pollution: They

will come after you. Or more appropriately after your Factory. In this version, however- If you of course: Ignore the castles and rocket launchers in the first place.. Biters are mainly characterized by: Running straight forwards you every 15 minutes or so, no matter where on the map are you- And as long as they did not spot: A laboratory; Radar; Turret; Or an entity- They would not care and continue coming after your [ __ ]. And correct me if I'm wrong: But all of that has absolutely nothing to

do with the pollution. They just appear in bigger numbers once every few minutes. So with all that knowledge being said: I decided to deal with them by setting a bunch of laser turrets- That turned out to be surprisingly powerful.. Directly between my labs. And with that being done: The safety has been achieved. Around 15 minutes after that: I noticed that my iron facility is running like [ __ ]. After a relative the quick investigation: I found out that all of that was caused by.. Ummm... Hmmm

I'll be honest with you: I don't really know how to describe it.. Looks like there is a traffic jam on the train station's belt system.. I don't know how'd that happen.. But to be completely honest- I think I might prefer to stay in this unconsciousness.. Right after fixing that: I've decided to get on with the next science. The blue one- To be specific. This blue science, however- Is different than the one we know from the current Factorio. To make it- We need: a steel plate, Advanced circuit.

Rocket, And a smart inserter. What the [ __ ] is a smart inserter? I don't associate anything like that from the current versions of Factorio.. What- what the [ __ ] is.. However 10 minutes later: The smart inserter facility was here. Or was it? All right- We did it! The smart inserters are here. Oh- No, no, no- They are not here. Um- Oh- Uh.. OH- YOU HAVE TO DO EVERY SINGLE [ __ ] ONE OF THEM WHAT A- WHAT A WONDERFUL RECIPE FOR SUCH AN IMPORTANT ITEM. I love building inserter facilities- That'

s a huge passion of mine! Let me tell you something gentlemen- And oh boy am I going to be honest with this one. That version of the game is like a car that hasn't seen a [ __ ] car Fox for a moment. I'm going to put it straight- That is not a compliment. In fact, before I knew it: The blue science facility was here. Yeah- It may not be the fastest one.. But look- The blueprints are not a thing in this version of the game and- There is not a single strength that will force me to build that pile

of garbage once again. So- It looks like it's about to take a while.. But- No, no, no, no, no- That's not a problem. We have other things to do. I have- I have other things to do. It's fine- It's fine. That- That's not a problem. Um.. Hmmm.. OH, LOOK- I'VE MADE A CAR! The research is still going. I built this big-[ __ ] solar panel. The research is still going. I decided to craft a rocket launcher, to craft a rocket launcher and recreate what I did in 2003. The research is still going. I built t

his lonely shack in the midst of the forest.. The research- IS STILL GOING. Okay fine- I will expand it. Here- There you have it. Yeah.. It still sucks, but- I found another monumental task to do.. Purple science. Or in other words: Science pack 4. The final science pack in this version of Factorio. And here once again: The recipe is a bit different than in the modern Factorio. Instead of lame things, like: Rails or productivity modules.. You need alien artifacts. These are dropping from biters

structures, for every destroyed Scottish Castle you're getting a bunch of them. One alien artifact equals 10 purple sciences. So after doing some highly complicated math calculations- I knew that I would need around 600 of them to complete every research. All of that seemed like a Monumental task- Until my brain had decided to switch up into: "Uga-Buga Monkey" mode- And I've decided to drive my car straight into the biter structures.. And to my biggest surprise: I've actually successfully manage

d to run them over. Combining that fact with the highly complicated repair mechanics of this version of Factorio that essentially consist of: Picking up the damaged object, and placing it back to get it to a factory new quality. The whole 600 artifacts were here in a matter of minutes. Looking at that: It all seemed like all signs were pointing to the fact that things have to speed up a bit. Having that in mind: I've decided to expand the labs, and eventually- The blue science facility. And 2 ho

urs later- We're here. Our final research in this version of Factorio- Has just been completed. The rocket defense. The only thing that is left to do for now- Is to build it. To do it: We need a 1,000 advanced circuits, and 5,000 plates of steel. Having this knowledge beforehand: I had built an additional Advanced circuit production line a few hours prior. With this card on: Building it was a mere formality. So after placing it down, and drowning in its beauty for a good few minutes- It was time

to call in the field from a Earth. And after defending from a 10-minute-long wave of biters.. The game just finished. It was even worse than the last time.
