After joking about a rough night and little sleep, the stream spends hours building and reworking a demo factory: belts, arms, scanners, hay processing and power all need attention, and the growing pileups make for plenty of trial and error. The search for needles continues through several redesigns before the stream switches to War Dogs. There, the conversation ranges from a frustrating previous session to vehicles, balance and how the game should handle them.
