  • All video codecs are lossy, meaning you will lose some quality. AV1 and H.265 are modern video codecs with the best quality to bitrate ratios, meaning you can get better quality for the same bitrate, or the same quality with a lower bitrate. The downside the these codecs is that they are very complex and computational expensive to do in software. You’ll want to make sure your GPU supports hardware encoding for the codecs you intend to record with. The reason most people will recommend AV1 over H.265 is that AV1 is royalty free. With H.265, companies have to pay a royalty to use H.265. Because of this, most companies (Netflix, YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, etc.) want to use AV1 going forward, meaning in the near future, it will probably be the dominant codec.

    I was pretty skeptical when I first started reading through this, but I’m actually kind of looking forward to it now. People seem to be really turned off by the RNG, but with the recycler, you can essentially automate it away. I’m excited to play with recycling loop designs and separate production lines for high quality items/intermediates, and fast/efficient low quality production lines for science. I also think people are getting caught up in only thinking of the late game and waning to leap frog to tier 5 instead of thinking of the tiers as progression as you slowly build and iterate on your factory. I do agree that the naming for the tiers really doesn’t match Factorio though and something more industrial would fit better.
