By "All the SE stuff" do you mean like everything on the mods to do with SE or only some?
@@ImmortalWolf526 By "SE stuff" he probably means SE postprocessing and all 5 (or 6?) SE graphic packs which are needed
noice thx
Can I just say how absolutely *ASTOUNDING* it is that Factorio has absolutely *NO* problem with you loading in literally *DOZENS* of mods? I can't think of another game that allows you to add so many without crashing or bugging out. Bravo, Wube!
I love how he calls his “friends” bots in the first minute and then immediately proves it
Are they actually human? I'm so confused the way he talks about them and the way they seem to act... i guess they are very new to factorio?
@@joshuadalton6063 They're AIs
@@jakeread9668 no they aren't
@@j_jhij_j5819yes they are wym he says so
@SkiBur
According to @Gubus King, at m.th-cam.com/video/8hRJ-CcwvrI/w-d-xo.html they write a message in chat that they will brush their teeth. I can't check it on my phone though.
You know,
I was hesitant to add "Part 1" to any part of the title lest people get the idea that it's just another Let's Play in 300 parts. Hope I didn't disappoint anyone, but I think I'd be inhuman if I could beat and edit an entire SE run in just 33 days
Yeah it's better this way
alright, this is the perfect time to tell you the hardest mod pack ever played in factorio is "py hard pack" and to put it in perspective it took me and my friend (first go around) 87 hours to automate green science. but it is a beautifully made mod pack and I highly suggest it even if you don't make a video on it. and I will throw this out there if you need assistance I'm willing to help in any way i can, also how many hours do you have on factorio?
keep up the good work, and don't feel bad about multiple parts. I happy that there is more to come
Then just have the title say something along the lines of “part 1 of 3”

Using small electric motors to make big electric motors sounds like using violins to make cellos.
Mod dev loves making these chains of parts for some reason. Stack inserters require fast inserters which require regular inserters which require *burner* inserters.
@@lorddashdonalddappington2653 It kinda makes sense, it's like you're getting an old inserter and upgrading it, and the engineer just got too lazy to refactor a process to build the superior one from scratch.
@@paulosantana9607 glad to know my in game engineer is just as lazy as I am lol, why build ANOTHER setup when I can just siphon some more materials off existing builds? I'm sure that won't throw off the ratios...
@@bobthegamingtaco6073 Exactly, there are more important things to do, like going to fricking space. Just round PI to 3, I'm sure the rocket can handle it xD
Probably just stacked up all the motors and Daisy chained them into a single monstrosity.

Seeing a 3-man team take 106 hours to fully automate Vulcanite and Crynonite production makes me feel WAY better about how long it is taking me lmao
Lol, same. It took me 120hrs just to automate first SE science on orbit.
@@NONAME-ey6qs oh, well now it all makes sense, probs gonna take longer but i think its okay now
Finished automating cryonite... been crying all night.
@@RedGallardo you poor soul
@@RedGallardo This what cracktorio leaves behind, shelves of players former selves, crying in the dark, asking for more...
i feel like dosh is atm the best yt creator focusing on factorio right now his videos are fun to listen to, don't drag along for no reason and entertaining. great job, hope to see you cover more games in the future.
Look up my boi Michael Hendriks for glorious factorioneering
Michael Hendriks is great as well. He doesn't use mods but he tackles the hardest possible challenges in vanilla (His current series is pretty insane)
its probably because factorio might be a hard game to make commentary on or something like that (i read a good reason for this but dont remember) but dosh and matrin makes really banger video about factorio because they do what most dont
Edit:checked out michael hendriks and thank you all for recommending him thx to you i found 1 more of these gem youtu bers that yt wont put on my homefeed instead of the same videos i havent clicked for the millionth time... ty all so much
@@permanent8387 can you really say martin makes Factorio content if he hasn't made any in like a year
as someone that has never played factorio (and likely doesn't have the time to invest in learning the game) can I just say how entertaining this was to watch? your commentary, building wizardry, and design is so very very cool to watch. especially in the giant machines that just work when you start it up - chef's kiss!
I know this wasn't a fun run, including all of the work you had to do to make it work, but consider this one big thumbs up from someone that has never watched another factorio video where I sat through the whole thing start to finish here.
factorio honestly isnt *that* hard. your base will be as complex as you make it out to be, and itll most likely still work! the game in reality is pretty slow in terms of unlocking stuff, so it isnt that intimidating. you should really try it out!
@@GEB_Rosee_PPS Yeah, the difficulty with Factorio lies not in building or researching stuff, but rather doing so in style.
Making a nice looking base gets progressively more difficult as you advance.
But I love it.
@Grant Todd welp, im a dumbass, sadly, so even vanila wasnt that easy for me :P
@Grant Todd try dyson sphere
how do you have the time to watch zisteau and not enough to play a game?
I’ve watched this video 3 times and only on the third did I realise that your “AI” helpers were actually people 😃
bro same
Ai is not advanced enough X3
Smartest Factorio player
Reverse Turing test
wait what.
how did I just now realize that
The knowledge that you’re completing your rocket at just 15:00 in has me learn to respect that mod’s length.
rok it
Hey thanks for playing SE (And showcasing one of my mods)! It seems you missed the "Any landing pad with name" option for cargo rockets.
Instead of one rocket that goes to "Nauvis Vulcanite Pad" and another rocket that goes to "Taras Vulcanite Pad" (like at 1:12:15), you can name your pads something like "Vulcanite blocks delivery" and then have a single rocket that goes to "Any landing pad with name Vulcanite blocks delivery".
In the future if you get another source of vulcanite, you can even have a second rocket targeting the same names. Rockets are smart and will only automatically launch to empty pads, one at a time.
This lets you have N-to-N delivery networks, very similar to how trains works.
Cheers!
Whoa! Nice! You might want to copy this to one of his posts, as there are so many comments that he might miss this vital info. Cheers!
We gotta get this to the top and get it seen more as this will help him out for sure.
My goodness I wish I had known that 100 hours ago.
@@LocoHosa RIP your time. F
Wanted to say the same, he needs to see this
1:09:39 pro tip, Spidertrons are an excellent way to semi-automate some extremely long-distance combat. especially with the Spidertron Extended mod and optionally Spidertron Squad Control mod. without the control mod, have a group of Spidertrons, they're all following each other, and the leader is queued to run around the biter nest. have one or two fully kitted out with bots and repair packs and the rest are combat, such as with lasers. they all need to be pretty fast with a lot of exoskeletons. they can cover huge distances and clear out a ton of biters very quickly and you can have multiple groups clearing out multiple areas at once.
War of the Worlds (1898)
Spidertrons are locked behind material+bio science in SE.
@@macfeej yeah in hindsight this early on spidertrons are not a possibility but in base game factorio its an extremely good option and once you have access to them in SE they are still a good option until you get plague, or if you dont want to use plague at all
I'm 10 minutes into the video and this comment is wild
@@Templarfreak Or even for remote outpost construction with or without biters, because they have equipment slots
I'm terrible at Factorio, so when I got massive MandalorianGaming vibes from this channel, I knew I struck gold. The narration is onpoint, the subtle humor is sprinkled in without being ridiculous, the amount of knowledge you're imparted with is great! I forgot I I was watching an hour and a half long video.
These kinds are my favorite type to throw on in the background while I'm doing something else too. Hope to see more like this!
Charismatic dudes with very good editing and voice
“Personally I like it when a base straddles the line between genius and insanity” yes I think we all remember Logibrain
23:10 Dosh giving a succinct explanation of rocket cargo and Raynald being an absolute JACKASS had me DYING.
Robot sigma grindset
By 12 minutes in you covered everything I had experienced until now during my playthrough. I'm in for a ride.
And you didn't scratch the surface for what the mod has to offer. With two friends. My lord, this mod is huge. And props to you for editing this monstrosity.
Made me realize that I went way too big of a scale before really teching up in space... In my 150h game i had individual cargo rockets for every basic ressources pretty much. That logistic requester setup will definitely be replicated on my side!
I think even this video went way too big on scale. Like that iron, copper, and GC production at the end. 1/6th of that would be enough to finish SE. Sure, once you get into space a normal starter bus base no longer cuts it, but you really don't need that much more either. My last SE playthrough was in version 0.4, and I noticed that raw resource consumption starts to decrease significantly once you get half way through the space sciences, as you unlock more efficient recipes and prod modules.
I've been waiting for this! Not only is it here, but you blessed us with a whole hour and 20 minutes of content. Thanks!!
Dear DoshDoshington, I just wanted to say it’s impressive how fast you are when it comes to Factorio. You made a LOT of progress on SE in only a hundred-ish hours, and during your Krastorio 2 video you beat the mod is only 50hrs. I just want to point out how efficient you are with your time thanks to building big immediately, and having very efficient builds which you think up and implement extremely fast! Love your content!
25:03 He went into space at 21 hours. In my playthrough that took around 60 hours...
@@reiniermels9288he has 2 others with him. so theoretically if he soloed hed had gone in the same amount of time as you.
@@DevDog98 yeah true but im pretty sure he did almost everthing himself
My playthrough is up to about 24 hours while having barely gotten into green science because I have this inane need to make sure every single build has at least mostly correct ratios. The most recent hurdle was finding out that the ratio of sand to concrete assemblers is 1:4. Don’t even get me started on how complicated it is just to make yellow inserters.
It doesn’t help that my first probably fifteen hours was spent shotgunning cliff explosives to make room to even _build_ a proper bus that wasn’t running directly through the nearest ore patch.
@@DevDog98you see how abysmal.. er, new, they are to factory building when they make their outposts - they didn’t notably cut down the time, they probably just cleared biter nests - the time save just came from an efficient factory and not overbuilding garbage, making it expandable
I admire this level of Factorio. I know I am 10000 hours to young to even come to a fraction of this power.
Good grief, I can't believe you're really going to tackle Space Exploration like this. When it won the "next video" poll I genuinely thought it might kill your channel because you'd burn yourself out trying to finish it. Good luck! I'm looking forward to more 🤞
He is a Factorio god, no way SE burns him out. After doing the Factorio City video I don't think anything could beat him, not even full PY. Looking forward to that btw, going to be great. :D
This is one of those channels that I'm surprised doesn't have hundreds of thousands of subscribers, and it's one of those channels that I'm confident WILL have them soon. Your format, with editing and commentary and explanations, is perhaps the best form of Factorio content I've seen.
Your prediction was spot on, by now (January 2024) it has around 220.000 subscribers!
I've watched this twice now and I play the Space Exploration mod myself. I love this mod. I'm so excited to see you play through it. Love your content, dude.
Awesome as always
Oh. hi Trupen. love you too
Had to drop what I was doing to click on this, I've been waiting for space exploration for so long! Can't wait to watch it
literally me
calamity + factorio?
same
@@poggertroll ah yes, mastermode calamity ftw factorio
What a mad lad, I got as far as getting into space and setting up the first space science and very quickly realised the scale needed and stopped playing. Much more fun watching this compressed format. Looking forward to part 2!
After 150hr I’m finally close to what Dosh showed in this video. I need part 2 now!
You reaching a similar point to them in 150 ish hours is insanely impressive. I bet it will take me 300+ hours to reach that point.
@@americankid7782it was a false alarm. I thought I was close but I was not scaled properly. Finally I reach the point where I reliably can create space, logistics and utility sciences (very) slowly but reliably. It only took me around 450hrs. Dosh is crazy
@ oof
@truly his skill is rampant. It’s to the point that im pretty sure his neurons work off of the rules of circuit signals and trains.
Over the course of 100hrs and a one hour video, the ai minions upgraded to assistants... At this pace we might take 3 parts to call them friends
hijacking this comment just to say i have a SE save with 289 hours with 30GW base in the ground and 72 GW base in space. Left this untouched for a couple of months and tried to pick it up again only to find out they changed all the recipes and both my mega bases are borked being repair and im :|
@@DantHimself And I am hijacking this answer to boast that I predicted that there are three parts! He never called them friends, but admitted that they have "higher education", which is something I guess
@@chillyavian7718 hijacking this to state that hamburgers and fries go well together
@@DantHimself who asked?
@@fridaynightspreadsheetfun Depends. Who asks?
This is the best video on space exploration that there is!
There are currently no "good" finished series on SE and it's understandable why. SE is so complex it makes it difficult to document your progress. I'd love to see a part 2 of this, but don't overwork yourself if you don't feel like making it. If you'll attempt to document the whole playthrough with this level of quality, it will turn into a +-5 part series.
Thank you so much for making this! I loved every minute of this!
Martin might get to it a some point this century, bjt that front has been silent for a while.
тут соглы
I initially watched your channel from the deathworld rampant "showcase" but your editing and commentary are top tier. I never have sat through hour long factorio lets plays til now.
Man, this is like my 30th time watching this video, and it never gets old, its just realy dam good, from editing to scripting, best of luck out there in the depths of space
This guy is quickly becoming one of my favorite TH-camrs to watch. Love these videos so much and the longer the better!!
Fantastic. 100h for all these first steps is great, and as ever your videos are early parts hilarious, informative, and your base building is an idea ratio of organization and pure insanity. Great to watch, I'll be looking forward to all the rest.
Amazing work. You are incredible and are literally the first person I’ve ever been a patron for
Honestly, you are crazy. Crazy in a good way. It's amazing how much work you pour into your videos and although I could barely call myself a factorio novice, I watched every minute of this and your other videos.
Keep it up! I'm looking forward to your next video
Honestly, this is content not really anyone is doing. I think if you wanted the help, hiring another editor would be easily worth it in ever metric. Your channel is blessed, and I need more. Go at a pase so you dont burn out, though. We're excited for more but we'll all be patient.
Well, thats not quite true, Zisteau also makes these kinds of videos, but he is quite hit and miss when he will upload, usually months apart, but its the same energy as this one, and i love both
@@JDTeam ty, looking it up. Anyone have any other similar suggestions?
@@XanderHDD Nilaus, but hes more focussed on tutorials, not limited to that only tho.
@@XanderHDD micheal hendricks is a great factorio lets player in a very similar way too. i love his runs a lot
@@ellej77 Only problem is a lot of the runs I've watched (haven't watched him in awhile though so he might have changed this) don't have narration, so if you want to understand what is going on you have to be actively watching. Not a problem for most people, but I like to watch videos in the background most of the time.
53:16 Now that was an impressive squeeze through the gap. Lol
And 1:17:05 caught me off guard. I wasn't prepared for sudden Daft Punk.
not gonna lie, this is one of the best youtube videos i have seen in years. my big love for factorio and the unbelievable amount of charisma this man has makes this a masterpiece i could watch this for hours. im desperately waiting for part 3. good job!
Somehow I've rewatched everyone of your factorio videos over 3 times. love having them on in the background while working. Keep it up my man!
The Star Trek parody intro was just amazing 10/10 video!
Wow this is an insanely good video. Even with my ever so shortening attention span i managed to watch this all through; great job man! Its rare to see 1.3 hour videos that dont become boring after 10 minutes
Space Exploration implies the universe is dead, ruled by a Biter Galactic Empire.
I find it interesting to watch all those timelapse-ish videos about modpacks that I will never touch on. It was interesting and fun to watch. Keep it up, you and your AI friends!
Thanks for the vid! I really enjoy how you organize, edit, and narrate your videos. I'm not dumb, but I am really bad at keeping track of things like throughput and production balancing, so its really interesting for me to see someone who's internalized all of that. Probably the best Factorio vids on TH-cam for those reasons.
Somehow "Space, the Final Frontier" in complete deadpan made me bust a gut. Bodes well for the rest of the video!
BUST A WHAT?
I feel as though autocorrect did it’s job here.
Nah I'm just weird and use phrases the internet ruined with double entendre.
@@byrondumont-eve understandable have a nice day
I'm amazed and impressed each time by your dedication to condense these extremely long runs into "short" movies.
And when I red that this is only part one I wasn't even surprised.
Looking forward to the following parts
1:17:02 this moment was truly legendary, thanks for that
i freaking WISH i had enough dedication to beat something like this, let alone beat the base game XD
Same here I was like”wow this mod looks so fun I should do it!” Then I realised I’ve never beaten the game before 😂
I've waited so long for this, it is incredible how much time you put into a single video. Love ur content
This is ridiculously impressive, and I really love the idea of getting to production/utility science before rebuilding your base. I often make the mistake of building too big too early.
Your factorio videos are the best, it combines explanation, big bases, chill commentary without the dozens/hundreds of hours to watch.
Cant wait for the next one and watching this one far too often :D
That was insane to watch. I can't believe there's more to this mod.
Thanks for your hard work, your work's quality is impeccable.
I've been waiting for this for so long, haven't even watched the video yet but I know it's gonna be a banger!
Dude this is by far the coolest video I have every seen, thank you for taking the time to post it!
Amazing video. Your scripts, editing and demeanor is actually PRISTINE. I love your videos. Looking forward to the next episode.
Honestly you are the most impressive Factorio video maker i've ever seen man. Your Ai's were pretty decent for helping out as well. I always enjoy seeing the crazy things you do.
Only 26 minutes in and paused to say that I enjoy your videos very much. Content like this is the main reason I am addicted to youtube. The mixture of fast paced construction, all relevant information and comedy is on point. Well done, sir!
Amazing video, more of this series please!! Helps me regain a bit of sanity after playing this mod pack and realizing that I'm not taking forever to do anything lol
LOVE the cowboy bebop reference at the end!
Wow, your content is incredible. Can't wait to see more from you, factorio or not!
This is probably one of the best factorio videos on youtube i have watched. Literally cant keep my head of watching this playthrough!
Dosh, you literally made my day by posting this.
All my love, keep being awesome dude.
Can't wait for part 2! Keep up the great work dude, loving the channel (recently came across you)
Saw the title and put aside everything to watch the entire video. Love your stuff, keep up the excellent content!
I've been waiting so long for this. Love the videos, they are the highest quality.
if someone sneezed somewhere back in time this man would make computer science videos instead
love the video
also would love to see you making a tutorial about basics in logic for factorio or basics of computers haha
He did only a few months ago
I love watching you play factorio, you make it look fun again. Your videos have gotten me back into the game twice now. Thank you for your videos and for teaching me a few things about the game. I get pretty far usually and then get building anxiety because more complex things becoming overwhelming to build without looking terrible.
Good work deserves an algorith boost
I agree, but if it does these little converstations will be burried lol
well worth the wait. fantastic content as always!
You did such a great job editing and shortening this playthrough into a youtube video Dosh! Wish you best of luck in making much more great content and looking forward to the next episode! :D
Liked and subscribed. I love your deadpan humor and deadpan delivery. Perfect!
After all this time you're still not done? Wow, that's insane!
I started a SpaceX run once, but quit after the first rocket. Looked like too much effort to start a new planet. After watching this, I'm kinda glad I did...
Looking forward to part 2!
awesome just watched all ur vids so this timing was perfect
So I have been struggling so hard with this mod, and I am committed to finishing it no matter what. I am by no means good at this game but you, Trupen, and Nialus have been dropping videos that are actually teaching me this. I have yet to play with circuits but you have given me some confidence and insight into how they work and how to make some actual logic. I tossed my 50+ hour save of my first attempt, found a better starting seed, and your compact little electric/single mall popped me through the beginning of this so quickly. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I can't wait to see the rest of this series!
Great blend of simple humor, nothing over the top. Good Video!
Amazing work, I love your style of long-form videos. This could have been five hours long and I'd still watch the whole thing!
Is it just me, or is his first ship (The one he finds) really similar- looking to the Kestrel, from FTL?
That’s what I thought as well
It is the Kestrel
I love the intro. extreamly well executed. gave me some good vibes :) thanks for the vid
Lovely video! Im playing SE+K2 after playing about 160 hours of the previous version of just SE.
Its hard finding good videos about SE because its so hard but this one is amazing! Love the encoding ideas and how you automated rockets.
You got my sub and im looking forward to the next video, good luck with the mod!
I tried to get through space ex multiple times, and I never could because its too much for myself... love that I can experience it in your video, especially because we have a extremely similar playstyle
Love these playthroughs! Keep up the good work!
the pacing is so nice on this vid, congrats really, it's a pleasure to watch and rewatch
Love your content.
Thanks for giving me a sneak peak of what to actually expect in SE, I was about to go in without the knowledge of circuits and would've most probably died from trying to get around logistical problems. It's been hard as is getting around them in vanilla! Guess I'll learn up circuitry before I try anything else
Always happy to see a new video from you. Cant wait to first watch this once, then have it keep me company while i fall asleep for the next month.
Edit: its good at keeping me company while I sleep
Amazing series, can't wait to see the rest! Also I absolutely loved the intro
tried to finish se several times, always got burned out in the middle of it. started again a couple days ago and now found your channel, love your videos. i watch them while playing se myself, its really relaxing ^^
This is an insane ratio of time invested to viewingtime. Thanks it's been a pleasure to watch :D
Oh hell yeah.
I love you bro seriously i have wanted a factorio series like this for so long but no one ever made it. You saw the opportunity and decided to put the work in yourself, i hope the fruits of your labor are bountiful
I simply refuse to believe this channel has less than 100k subscribers. I have rewatched every video multiple times, just absolutely perfect content to listen to while I struggle to get anything to work in my vanilla world lol
yes! I was waiting for something like this.
You're going to end up making me retry this mod with friends again.
After 300 hours of playtime, we were only on the 2nd tier astrology science.
Great video! Your content is entertaining to watch. Can't wait to see the next part of this.
This Video is so amazing, thanks for your effort to put a series like this together!
Dropping a like just for how long the video is, that’s how you know it’s gonna have so much content
this video brings joy to my heart
i like to imagen that a playthrough with my friends would look like this,
if my friends would play factorio, or even if i would have any friends
the inserters are my friends...
Dosh, what an excellent 3 part series. I have watched these many times all the way through. Thank you for the entertainment.
I love the monotone explanations along with the witty humour. Keep it up, defo earned my sub
I literally thought you'd been making factorio videos for years because the quality is so high, I love being able to watch one playthrough in one longer video and I really appreciate the effort it takes you to produce content like this.
