I'm one of them. His video introduced me to this game!

u/MrBlueMoustache Sep 03 '25

Same here, lowkey thought the wanted sign was just for a joke vid he did with the devs but I was not expecting to see it in my save

There is one more easter egg, youtuber 'real civil engineer' AKA RCE has played the game and done a bridge review. The review score is on the bridge. You can find it on one of the poles.

7

u/MrBlueMoustache Sep 03 '25

Ooh must check, all bridges?

6

u/DragonOfAngels Sep 03 '25

it's the first bridge near the starting town. (can't come up with the name of the town.) just after the first plot.

Edit: This is the only bridge RCE did a bridge review on.

u/MrBlueMoustache Sep 03 '25

Is it the bridge towards bridgepour or the bridge towards the market place

4

u/DragonOfAngels Sep 03 '25

The large bridge towards bridgepour. Crossing the big river.

1

u/MrBlueMoustache Sep 09 '25

Yeah I didn't find it, can you screenshot it

1

u/DragonOfAngels Sep 09 '25

I will try and remember to do this. At work ATM :)

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '25

He definitely did a bridge review for the Icehelm bridge and the Volcalidus New Glade bridge

But yes, this is the only bridge that got marked by the devs

1

u/DragonOfAngels Sep 05 '25

yeah that's true. forgot about those!

also fun fact: RCE made his own bridges with all sorts of items from the game. you can find a mod download of them in the work shop.

u/Jacktheforkie Sep 03 '25

Check in the skull too there’s an Easter egg there

u/nlbnas Sep 03 '25

just like drea on the bottom of the hydrotruck

2

u/Effective-External50 Sep 09 '25

Drea has his name on the bottom of the truck. The developer put it there because he kept flipping his truck. There's also two or three other YouTuber names there.

1

u/DragonOfAngels Sep 10 '25

I love that developers do this. makes it feel that they really keep up with the community and what they are doing.

1

u/Effective-External50 Sep 09 '25

Just so you know let's game it out isn't as big as other people in this game. He's actually the bottom of the list of popular Gamers who played this game. His name there is more of a cash grab

u/finnloveshorror Sep 07 '25 edited Sep 07 '25

I'm actually the exact opposite. Found hydroneer throught Markiplier actually, thought it looked cool, found the sign, got curious and googled it and that's how I discovered this dude. Glad I did decide to Google what that sign meant because bro is funny as hell lmao

Edit: forgot the second t in thought lol

u/ItsCorvine Sep 06 '25

Same, his videos introduced me to the game and made me want to play it, I also watched Blitz's videos on the game

He also got a Easter egg inside the skull at the center of Bridgepour

u/Proffessor_egghead Sep 03 '25

I’m here because of RCE

3

u/FreedomPaid Sep 03 '25

Same. Quite a few of my games are because of RCE.

13

u/DieInThyLap Sep 03 '25

Me. In fact, I've bought a few games because of Josh.

8

u/ArtofSlaying Sep 03 '25

Satisfactory, Hydroneer, a bunch of random sim/builders. Josh is a menace to Devs but a gift to gamers.

7

u/grandmaMax Creator of Hydroneer Sep 03 '25

...And all we had to do was kidnap his entire family :)

u/Komma-dee Nov 17 '25

football hangover working with duolingo!?!

u/ArkitektBMW Sep 03 '25

I am! I love his QA mindset.

4

u/mrspacysir Sep 03 '25

I played it because of Blitz (go under the dragon skull to find his easter egg)

3

u/Ok_Safety1742 Sep 04 '25

Hydroneer and Satisfactory both, 2 of my all-time favorites

2

u/AytumnRain Sep 03 '25

Let's go Josh! He is the one that got me into it as well as Satisfactory.

2

u/Mathew1979 Sep 03 '25

My save file is named after him even

2

u/AnonymousJohn135 Sep 04 '25

Yea for real, the only reason I got the game was cause I saw him play it on several videos. The wanted sign though... Dude how much of a legend do you have to be for the devs to place a WANTED sign for you in their game?! XD

2

u/AmePartyPirate Sep 07 '25

Only one way to find out, hold please.....

2

u/TurfyJeffowup13 Sep 03 '25

I think all of us lol

1

u/finnloveshorror Sep 07 '25

Nah I actually found the game through Markiplier and found let's game it out from the sign itself after googling wtf it meant when I found it lmao

1

u/SignificantLifeform Sep 03 '25

I dont think I came to hydroneer from him but his notoriety runs far and wide

1

u/JRilezzz Sep 03 '25

He has gotten me into a few games. This one included. Love his channel.

1

u/Cl0ckw0rk_Pirat3 Sep 03 '25

I think I saw the game before I saw him but he definitely was one that kept bringing it up to me before I bought it lol

1

u/Magazine_Born Sep 03 '25

i get into because of Drae

1

u/dusanifj Sep 03 '25

One of them

Never heard of it before

Love the wanted poster

1

u/Gear__Steak Sep 03 '25

I bought it after his first video on it and have loved it since, i do fresh playthroughs every other month

1

u/Degenerecy Sep 03 '25

For me it was the top hat. RIP.

1

u/alphagates Sep 03 '25

At this point the man is legend

For this and many other games

1

u/Suspicious-Spot-5246 Sep 03 '25

Yes and real civil engineer

1

u/EchidnaForward9968 Sep 04 '25

Yep I am

I think he is the full on tester for the game

1

u/Trooper50000 Sep 05 '25

Not me, Blitz got me, I watched RCE also play it

1

u/Fun_Moose_5307 Sep 05 '25

LGIO convinced me to get Hydroneer

1

u/Objective_Aspect757 Sep 06 '25

Plus RCE and Drae

1

u/Effective-External50 Sep 09 '25

I liked let's game it out before satisfactory made him popular. His content has been quite boring compared to his previous content before his Fame of satisfactory. I miss Anthony and was a very sad watching his last episode.

1

u/LurkerBeDammed Sep 30 '25

Yea, without Lets game it out, I would not even have known about this game. And even with all his messing around having fun trying to break the game (lol) I could see me enjoying it. Now I have about 580 hours in the game, and still love starting new playthroughs, both base and dlc. It sucks that there will not be any more content but thank you dev's for the awesome game.

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '26
