Hey everyone, welcome to Unoptimized Builds. If you’ve seen a few of my videos, you already know this channel isn’t about perfect builds. It’s about systems that function, even if they’re messy, overbuilt, or not what many would call clean. Because that’s what usually happens when you play these games. You make decisions, you deal with tradeoffs, and sometimes what works just doesn’t look the best, and that’s fine.
Unoptimized Builds has always been about letting go of perfect, having fun, and building systems that get the job done. No stress, no chasing some fully optimized setup, just real builds that work.
On this channel, you’ll find me, Joshua, a dad gamer, playing factory builders, city builders, business sims, and colony survival games like Satisfactory, Factorio, Dyson Sphere Program, Cities Skylines, Big Ambitions, Minecraft, Schedule I, Star Rupture, and more.

📦How do you usually handle item storage in Satisfactory? Everyone seems to have a different system, from simple boxes to full mega-storage setups. Vote below and drop a comment if you’ve built a crazy storage system or a mega storage hub.

I recently posted a Satisfactory short with some tips about optimizing early builds so they scale better later in the game.
🎥 Watch it here: youtube.com/shorts/8SUFnckXJSk
But the comments surprised me! A lot of people said they actually prefer the “spaghetti base” style instead of planning "scalable / modular builds" early. So now I’m curious… Which early base style do you prefer?
