I love how he calls his “friends” bots in the first minute and then immediately proves it

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

Using small electric motors to make big electric motors sounds like using violins to make cellos.

"Toggke artikkery" still makes me giggle uncontrollably

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

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.

I’ve watched this video 3 times and only on the third did I realise that your “AI” helpers were actually people 😃

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.

The knowledge that you’re completing your rocket at just 15:00 in has me learn to respect that mod’s length.

23:10 Dosh giving a succinct explanation of rocket cargo and Raynald being an absolute JACKASS had me DYING.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

I admire this level of Factorio. I know I am 10000 hours to young to even come to a fraction of this power.

“Personally I like it when a base straddles the line between genius and insanity” yes I think we all remember Logibrain

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

By 12 minutes in you covered everything I had experienced until now during my playthrough. I'm in for a ride.

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!

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 🤞

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!!

Space Exploration implies the universe is dead, ruled by a Biter Galactic Empire.

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.

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

Awesome as always

After 150hr I’m finally close to what Dosh showed in this video. I need part 2 now!

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.

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!

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.

1:17:02 this moment was truly legendary, thanks for that

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!

This guy is quickly becoming one of my favorite RU-vidrs to watch. Love these videos so much and the longer the better!!

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.

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

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.

i freaking WISH i had enough dedication to beat something like this, let alone beat the base game XD

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

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!

The Star Trek parody intro was just amazing 10/10 video!

Somehow "Space, the Final Frontier" in complete deadpan made me bust a gut. Bodes well for the rest of the video!

Amazing work. You are incredible and are literally the first person I’ve ever been a patron for

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!

Oh hell yeah.

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.

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!

Absolutely fascinating work. I'm excited to see you continue. The sense of humor is on point, and the build strategies are super cool.

Is it just me, or is his first ship (The one he finds) really similar- looking to the Kestrel, from FTL?

Good work deserves an algorith boost

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.

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

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!

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

Dude this is by far the coolest video I have every seen, thank you for taking the time to post it!

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!

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 RU-vid for those reasons.

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.

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

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.

I've waited so long for this, it is incredible how much time you put into a single video. Love ur content

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.

Can't wait for part 2! Keep up the great work dude, loving the channel (recently came across you)

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!

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!

I love the intro. extreamly well executed. gave me some good vibes :) thanks for the vid

Liked and subscribed. I love your deadpan humor and deadpan delivery. Perfect!

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.

I was just looking for this video from you yesterday, thanks for making it!

Dosh, you literally made my day by posting this. All my love, keep being awesome dude.

This video convinced me and my friends to start a SE run…. But we are built different so we included rampant all factions on + rampant arsenal we are 50 hours in and just got arty up and running via space science great fun so far

Amazing video. Your scripts, editing and demeanor is actually PRISTINE. I love your videos. Looking forward to the next episode.

This Video is so amazing, thanks for your effort to put a series like this together!

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

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

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 ^^

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

well worth the wait. fantastic content as always!

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.

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!

the pacing is so nice on this vid, congrats really, it's a pleasure to watch and rewatch

SpaceEx, for a mod that promise space exploration, the burner stage are so freaking long it burn (no pun intended) me out before I reach the meat of the game... Automated cargo rocket and get utility/production running kill me so dead inside...

awesome just watched all ur vids so this timing was perfect

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

Amazing series, can't wait to see the rest! Also I absolutely loved the intro

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!

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!

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 love the monotone explanations along with the witty humour. Keep it up, defo earned my sub

Love these playthroughs! Keep up the good work!

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!

I just watched all of this in one sitting and I didnt even realize the video's lengh. Kudos to you, looking foreward to that next part

Thanks for giving me the feeling of playing through Factorio and Factorio Mods. Without actually learning and finishing Factorio runs. Your stuff is fun to watch.

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

This is an insane ratio of time invested to viewingtime. Thanks it's been a pleasure to watch :D

Took me 3 days to watch this. I couldn't not fall asleep. Love it, keep it coming!

Great video! Your content is entertaining to watch. Can't wait to see the next part of this.

Playing this multiplayer and having someone stay grounded as you go into space is worth more than a thousand arcospheres. By the way, have you figured out the pyramid puzzle yet? There's no info on that anywhere. That thing intrigues me the most.
