How Hard is it to Beat Factorio with NO BELTS and NO BOTS? 

Hello, I've posted a poll on my channel on what mod you'd like me to play next. Go vote, or something. Keep in mind the longer the mod, the longer it will take to finish.

This run deserves a Nobelt prize

So I was expecting chest and inserter spaghetti but the way he gets it done is so much more janky and cursed than I could have imagined at the start of the video

A 48 minute video with 29 minutes of playtime is a true testament to your factorio skill

"Personally i prefer my challenges to test my brain and not my patience" honestly, i think that's 100% valid. i wouldn't even mind if you set up construction/logistics robots just to help build, as long as you didn't use buffer chests, but respect the dedication to just staying with your own robots. Honestly this build ended up a lot more interesting than i expected

it feels like a personal attack that your end base is still neater than mine and I get to use the main features of the game still.

Watching this provoked a physical reaction of intrigue followed by disgust, followed by fear. 10/10.

It's 4am. I have never even heard of factorio before. This is interesting. I demand more

I love how this run has imbued you with the wisdom of the beltless, and the train car mall has showed up in every single run since. I hope we keep seeing it.

9:55 i was mostly on board with all of this up until this very moment when my body found itself in a state of revulsion unknown to me. i feel as if i have made eye contact with cthulhu, and thus have broken from the knowledge that the world is doomed. i understand now that all is to be lost and there is no hope. video is great though

This video was like watching someone saw their leg off with a rusty hacksaw in slow-motion. Great job!

One day space explorers will find this world, see the expanse of cargo wagons across the land and go insane as they try to comprehend what was done by the lunatic that crashed here. This was amazing, thanks for the great video.

Was expecting mega-base style train to train with train wagons filtered to match each recipe. Instead you made an amazing eldritch horror 👍

Wow this is incredibly quick with how long these runs and videos take to make, glad we're able to see more of the suffering after just a short few weeks away

"May I present to you, the forbidden factorio knowledge" Whoa that is not really cursed, tbh I kinda like it "You can make the rails diagonal too" Yeah nope nope nope nope nope "I can use cars too" Stoooop "Well the tank won't do so we can use diagonal tanks" Aaaaaaaaa

As a new factorio player, I find this “cursed” knowledge very entertaining to use

Those storage car shenanigans are tech heresy of the highest order. Please continue.

Some of the best megabases we've ever seen are belt+bot-less, mainly for the FPS/UPS you save by not running belts. Always a fun challenge!

You should try a 1 train challenge. You will only have 1 impossibly long train

i love that beltless/botless is actually leagues more tolerable than seablock

Ngl the base looks absolutely amazing and the managing of moving stuff looks really good considering theres no belts, you can efficiently move many materials in a sigle wagon and actually using the filters

I get genuinely excited every time you upload. Your content is literally the best, most watchable Factorio content on the platform by a long shot.

There is something oddly beautiful about these "belts". Also there was a mod that basically made it that backed up belts spill out at the end I think a playthrough with that would be well not fun but you know what I mean

I've watched a number of videos of yours now, and every time, it's the same thing: shock, awe, intrigue, a headache, fear, depression. You're a genius. And I thought doing the "There Is No Spoon" challenge in under 6 hours was good. The ideas swirling around in my head right now...I...I have to go...play...Factorio...

It’s been over a year and I’m still coming to terms that your start in this video is faster than mine normally

Only started playing recently and am so glad I managed to find this channel. Insanely high quality editing, gameplay, commentary and interesting challenges. Criminal that you have so few subs. (for now)

Wow. I'd thought of doing a train-as-belt factory before but I didn't know that you could do it exactly like that. That's actually amazing. Now I wanna go try it...

When you mentioned a forbidden technique, I guessed what you were going to do as I had seen a note about this on the wiki before. I did not quite expect it to work that well though. Makes me want to try something similar. I feel like the deadlock issue should be solvable, and if so, then this could actually be a a good belt replacement for recipe trees with too many inputs and outputs and intermediate products, where belts simply don't have enough lanes to make the solution anything but messy.

My friend and I have posited this build concept on a few occasions and whereas we decided it was *possible*, neither of us ever imagined a time when either of us would have the patience, audacity and sheer insanity to actually attempt it. Then you came along and did it for us, you glorious, nutty bastard!

This is EASILY the most cursed, most forbidden *anything* I have ever witnessed in all my years of playing Factorio Congratulations 😡👏🎉

I’ve been rotating through all your previous Factorio videos for a month waiting for a new one. Excellent content man. Breath of fresh air.

I thought I knew how you were going to do a belt-less run, but this went "off the rails" real fast. Great job

Your dedication is amasing, and the line "i've been playing this run for so long this looks normal" as you gaze upon a monstrosity got me to sub. Awesome piece!

Can't wait for the 'NO BELTS, NO BOTS' speedrun's to occur!

5:40 "man enough DD for the day let me take a quick brea-" *stress points taken*

12:52 I'm glad that even after 5 years, a veteran player still smashes into their own electric poles like I've done hundreds of times in the less-than-a-year of my own playtime XD

Your builds are always interesting and this monstrosity is truly inspiring. Throughput tanks are the real heroes here.

I'm dually impressed and physically reviled by what I have seen this day. In either case, applause is deserved.

You should combine this with the sushi belt challenge to make a sushi train challenge. No belts, no cargo wagon abomination, just 1 train that spans the entire factory.

8 minutes in and I’ve already learned so much misc tech that I feel like I’m going insane. Nicely done.

Congrats on the run .... "29 minutes" awesome

Just wanted to throw out there that you've quickly become one of my favorite content creators. Your factorio videos are really, really well made. Exactly the content to feed my factorio addiction AND my weird unconventional challenge addiction. Keep up the good work!

I think the only more jank thing that could 1 up this is having an army of players, whether controlled by scripts or people, all working together, and not using ANY bots, rails, or belts.

I love how you always manage to surprise me with these play throughs. Astonishing, how neat the base actually looks and how it all fits together (expect the train network, that is just a mess, love it).

Considering the time and effort it must take to make these, you really are cranking them out. Very much appreciated, this is nearly the ideal way to experience Factorio outside of actually just playing it. Honestly probably better since it's somebody who knows what they're doing. I tried this challenge once many editions ago, using just inserter arms to move cargo around, and my findings before the video starts are that it *really* doesn't work even *slightly.* By Green science, the throughput was too low to sustain anything. Look forward to seeing what you've come up with. EDIT: Well, I sure wasn't expecting the most cursed thing I've ever seen in Factorio by a signfiicant margin. Awesome work, necessity is the mother of invention.

I'm so amazed with how casually you explain something so crazy like the uranium. I sometimes have to rewind once or twice to understand the brilliancy.

I’ve watched all your factorio videos and I am a huge fan of how you do them. Keep making great videos.

Another certified banger!!! I actually love the final build and how functional it actually ends up being, great job and great video!!!

Somehow you manage to capture the pure essence of this game. Limitless playstyles and creativity. Always entertaining to watch, it makes me feel like my first playthough keep it up

Well that was absolutely cursed, and incredibly well done! Excellent problem solving, despite the heresy. Looking forward to your next run - these are great fun to watch.

I feel like this may have been the coolest thing i have ever watched. The way you used the trains made me think of a pipe of anything and everything that was available anywhere anytime. It was beautiful

Dude these videos are amazing! Your dry humor is at the perfect level to make these videos incredibly fun to watch. Hope you keep going!!!

That was fantastic! So many ideas that I wasn’t insane enough to think up. Thanks for the video.

Inserter-chest chains? EDIT: Damn, you found something much more crazy...

Randomly recommended this, it's one of the most confusingly cursed but also beautiful things I've ever seen in Factorio. I can't imagine doing this myself, but you made it look easy. Awesome work.

Wow all your knowledge and facts and tech and tricks in this game makes this so much cooler! I enjoy watching your videos and it has inspired me to get into Factorio.

It truly is a delight whenever I see a new video from you. Every one has shown a new tidbit of knowledge and learning (even if it is a bit cursed)

I don't think God stays in heaven because He, too, fears what He has created; I think He stays in heaven because He's afraid of what Dosh has created.

This was one of the most interesting and creative Factorio runs I've seen! Thank you :D

I am late to this particular video and especially late to your wisdom / madness playing this game. I have found myself doing what I can to binge your vids on this game just for the artwork you put up on screen here. I bow to your Factorio game play awesomeness. Your knowledge of the game mechanics ( from the 3000+ hrs helps a bit there ), your skill, your narration and your dry humor is what brings me back. Krastorio, rampant death world, the one on circuits and signals and a few others of your challenge videos that my mind cannot think of at 2:45am pst.

Holy shit I've been waiting for what feels like ages for you to upload again after I binged your entire factorio catalogue, let's gooo.

"33% slower than ideal" for wires into circuits: False. Ideal conditions are 5 assemblers to produce 2 assemblers' worth of circuits. 1:1ing it means you use 6 assemblers to produce 2 assemblers' worth of circuits. Your base is 17% slower than ideal. Efficiency!

I really thought I knew what was coming after reading the title. I am so glad I was wrong! Your solutions to the same problems we all face are really amazing! Ty for the content! You got a sub.

Fascinating. Thanks for showing.... quite a different approach to things!

I've waited so hard for this one, watching you suffering is the greatest factorio content I could've hoped for

i love how the factory looks so neat and compact... and stationary. kudos mate! ;)

Absolutely incredible video! Keep up the good work!

You sir, are a madlad, and I love it! Excellent job!

I genuinely thought you were going to do an entire train network for all the things you need automated, but this just blew my mind with how effective this works

This was completely bananas. I wonder how you'd do with the Tiberium mod on a death world playthrough.

Its like a super belt with 40 customizable slots and 3-4 stack inserter speed.. Astonishing!

Like your videos, this game is a gem, had an idea from another game I played like this of dumping components from machine to machine, using a sorter to dump finished products into the selling unit. Everything was arranged so that raw materials were instantly being turned into parts the moment there was space

This is morally reprehensible. I can not believe no one stopped you from doing this.

I love the Factorio community, it is equal parts "That's a neat idea" and "But WHY?"

Well done. Always wanted to do a similar run. The trick with bidirectional wagons and filter inserters is cool.

When watching this video my mind didn't think much of it, but i could feel my body physically revolting evermore violent for each cargo wagon placed...

Over 1200 hours of Factorio and I completely didn't know you about the fact you could change the container via overlap by which item was placed first with movable containers... Also moving across the main bus...wagon...main transport path via filters on the wagons was honestly brilliant and quite convenient. The use of vehicles as throughput enhancers on t-junctions was also crazy brilliant. Honestly so much amazing out of the box thinking happened in this one video I'm just left beyond impresses.

You are making the best factorio content on YT right now

Just been introduced to your content and boy you are crazy. Love it.

Accidentally found your channel. It is amazing. You 100% deserve more subscribers. 👍

Challenge failed: used tool belt

I think I have never laughed this hysterically at a factorio video before as when you crashed your train into itself :D Thanks for that! Also I think this was a genuinely aesthetically pleasing base.

This video is interesting, so much effort to make all those ideas, good work and I can't wait to see the next videos.

New to the channel, I absolutely love your videos man. Keep up the great work, you've earned a loyal subscriber

This was so incredibly cursed, but I loved every second of it.

I gotta wonder how you haven't grown weary of Factorio at this point. Spending roughly 60 hours or more at a time with each challenge/modpack and sifting through all that footage to cram it into an hour or less length video and making sure you were recording it all properly within the span of a few weeks to a month.

I've seen the concept of this use of trains floated around in the community before, first time I can remember seeing anyone make a video of beating the game exclusively with it though. Great vid!

This is so cursed... But at the same time, this is one of the most interesting runs I've ever seen, the way you use wagons is amazing!

Is there a way to do the "every item is liquid" run? Sounds fun

faust

Only just found your channel and have realised that I've watched hours, ha ha. Love the videos, keep up the god work Dosh. Also Merry Christmas

your stuff is so relaxing, puts me to sleep right away, I gotta be careful when n where I watch your stuff 10/10

I hope you're aware that inserters after the stack upgrade can be manually overridden, just click on them and select "Stack Override" and set the value to 1. For context, 11:20

Yay, new video :) Was pretty excited to see more of your stuff. Edit: This was a really ingenious run

"and there you have it, 29 minutes, no belts, no bots" F in the chat for the speed runners using belts, this mad lad did it in... well technically 29 hours, but let's just call that 29 minutes, so that he doesn't go more insane.

The originality alone puts this among the top Factorio content on RU-vid. Impressive! Subscribed.

You are absolutely insane; hats off to you Chief!

Your videos are awesome. Can't wait for the next one.

leaving a comment for the Factorio inserter black magic tip. This is fantastic, thanks for making really interesting Factorio builds!

A new one , great effort short period between them I'd say , must been a great joy of suffering to deliver your forth successful movie ( in a row ) . Wish you abd your channel the best m8 , do whatever you want next , you got the taste that pleases the hungry greedy eye of mine . JJ . Loved it as as always.
