How Hard is it to Beat SPACE EXPLORATION | The Second Coming 

The fact the space trains don't output stone or sand is proof they're from a different mod

The fact that there's a data card that is 100% just "Crash a train into a wall and record what happened" is just hilarious to me

Most anticipated sequel of the century

It's embarrassing that I'm literally going to wait for a more comfy time to watch this because it's such good content I want to be entirely engaged

Fun fact: Real life scientific data are sometimes so huge that it's actually faster to physically ship the drives to the processing center rather than trying to transmit it there electronically

God, I can’t wait to watch a gameplay video adjacent in effort to Homer’s Odyssey

Very excited by a no-bot base, it looks very beautiful already! 36:10 That "water droplet crossed out" recipe lets you void water, so you can avoid the radar contraption. 41:51 Normally the confirm extinction button only needs you to kill spawners and worms. Not sure what was up with that. 52:28 Sorry about that, still working on that crash...

This dude has the balls to literally turn 150+ hours of footage into only two, hour-long videos. Amazing editing and fun to watch even though I literally never have gotten past the third science in factorio lol

Love it at 1:00:19 when Zyllius says "thinkin" and Raynald replies "stop that", made me giggle

keep going my dude you might be the first factorio youtuber to actually complete and document the entire space exploration mod this effort will definitely immortalize you in the factorio youtube community as if your other videos weren’t already legendary

dosh: "i hate how everything produces stone as a byproduct" also dosh: "im running out of stone"

I designed my space base around belts with 0 bots except for archospheres. My wife's boyfriend was really impressed!

I absolutely suck with circuit networks. Watching him do all the circut stuff in SE so effortlessly just hurts my two brain cells. Amazing work

A way to save on scaffolding and make your base look cool is to create a deconstruction planner that only deconstructs scaffolding that doesn't have any buildings placed on it. That way you can spam as much scaffolding as you want while blueprinting, and hoover up everything except what's actually used. It makes the base look like it's hanging in space :)

Fun fact about vitamelange and stone: You can get the net stone consumption to zero by not using productivity modules in the crushing step (the stone output counts as catalyst, so it isn’t affected by productivity), and then crush the stone to sand in crushers with four lvl 7 productivity modules, giving you enough sand to cover the whole production.

I'd legit be willing to pay extra for the detailed explanation of how the sushi belt works. I've spent like 5 hours designing mine and it turned out to be as big as the production block for space science itself; with crap ton of priority splitters, belt scanners, etc. And only fit 8 packs. Here yours fit entirety of science packs in the mod using nothing but conditioned inserters. Hats off

I honestly love seeing the two sidekicks whenever they show up. That joke on how they’re “AI” from the beginning continually sticks with me. And I imagine you all in a VC just talking to text to speech voices.

Hands down the best youtube series I have ever seen. This is art.

"Thinkin" "Stop that" I love this type of companionship. Keep up the good work guys!

Okay but like. It's genuinely a joy for me to say it's been long enough between this and the first episode that I've gotta rewatch the first episode again to catch up on where everything is in this video. Your shit's great, and this wouldn't be the first time I've rewatched some of it. I'll be back in an hour and a half to watch this! :D

no joke the most invested in series ive ever been. started playing SE because of this, my space base is spaghetti beyond even yours

Thanks for taking like hundreds of hours of doing this it always is so good.

I lost track of what's happening about... an episode and a half ago... but I really enjoy seeing your process, and as always, you make the most mundane tasks entertaining.

I literally audibly gasped and stopped my other video to come over and watch this. Thanks for the great content!

An absolute masterpiece of a series. Thank you good sir for creating some fucking good content

Space bases: are a new and unique challenge to build factories with limited space and ressources Space trains, space elevators and scaffolding spam: sike Love how last video it was "we have to build this base with minimal space and value every ressource we sent up here" and now its just "train megabase but in SPACE"

After watching your (and Michael Hendriks') runs, my own factorio playstyle is slowly changing. I used to care a lot about cityblocks, alignment, etc. Not it's a lot more "free-flowing" and compact. And it takes less time to "despagettify" it all now. Although cityblocks taught me to leave space for the roads if possible (so you can later put down couple more assemblers you have nowhere else to place there)

you make cool videos, you a whimsical guy. i love your half condescending half absolutely done with life tone, it ads a lot to your videos and your character

Holy shit I just discovered your channel yesterday from your Towerclimb and Marrow videos, and I just finished you last Factorio SE video a few hours ago. Super excited to have another episode so soon, thanks for the great content, Factorio or otherwise!

Ive watched this whole series like 5 times this past week, as i just started my SE run a few days ago. Its crazy to think im not even to the point where you were halfway through the first vid. Thx for the series

I love these vids. You have a soothing voice, and factorio is in the category of im-interested-in-it-but-too-smoothbrained-to-play-it that's perfect for youtube. Due to an injury, I've been spending a lot of time in bed too exhausted to do much of anything, and even reading isn't great because of the eyestrain. But this I can listen to even if I have to close my eyes for a moment, and when I can watch I'm rewarded with some super satisfying factories humming along. Thanks Mr.Dosh

That is a great looking space base design! All those symmetrical train stations look neat af! I'm sad that this is only going to be three videos long, but as all good things, it should end with you satisfied, yet wanting more.

Ok, watching these vids has humbled me. I’ve been playing Space Exploration, but I’m not even CLOSE to REGULAR Blue Science! I’m just gonna go back to normal Factorio

Thank you for the upload, currently have no power after the hurricane Ian aftermath, just binge watched the entire of this video with my brother to occupy our time

Can't wait for the next part!!

That bass at 16:35 just hits different. I love it.

This is so good... I can't wait for your overall thoughts on the mod. My feeling as of this time is that it's "overly complicated without good reason behind it or carrot to really overcome the challenges without resorting to brute force"... I mean, that it could be balanced like a puzzle, where you balance certain pro's with certain con's of every design and must create new and novel designs to get anywhere. Also, environment and biters coudl be more of a constant challenge where you very quickly notice un-optimal designs and bad resource utilization... but maybe it's just "unfinished" as of now and needs that overhaul before "final release" where all the fat is trimmed out... But maybe it's a Factorio thing, where you can just brute force yourself through obstacles with spaghetti, un-optimal designs and it'll just take longer, look worse, but it'll get you there if you wait long enough. The logistics of moving stuff around different surfaces is a great thing, but the mod could be (at least from the progress I've done so far) create more of hard brick walls where you HAVE TO create efficient and very large scale interplanetary production chains or you will wait for forever to get anywhere. Bit it's not a bad mod... one just has to remember that trying to speedrun the mod might be what they didn't want anyone to do. It's propably more about slow discovery and long... VERY LONG games that span over years or so with no real hurry... Oh well... we'll see :)

The wait was worth every second, this series has more anticipation them modern TV releases. Thanks for the hard work it's truly spectacular

"I don't wanna be here all day" - Current play time at nearly 4 full days; great work

im literally half way through watching part 1 again. now i feel pressured to finish it lmao

If anyone's curious "Anion-Ion Exchange Beads" probably refers to ion exchange resin. It's a packing of small synthetic beads with a desired ion attached packed into a column and is used to replace one ion in a solution for another by flowing the fluid through the packed column. It's used often to remove salts (in the chemistry sense, not just table salt) from process chemicals as part of purification.

This is such good content, that I am glad I waited for a more comfy time to watch it. Because of this, I was able to be entirely engaged.

This is literally my fourth time watching both of these, this is by far the best factorio content on youtube. Watching these give me the same feeling as watching “100 days” Minecraft videos except your videos are even better and about a game i truly love

Loved every second of this mod playthrough, understood about 10 seconds of this mod playthrough...

more legitimantly quality content from a guy who deserves to be more popular, who'd have thought

Much as I probably will never play Space Exploration, the idea of sending trains up a space elevator into orbit is just cool. This was fascinating to watch. Thank you for your hard work!

Just watched Maxor's Ultrakill video, and now this... today is a good day.

29:30 If I'm not mistaken, the productivity modules should stack with multiplication, not addition, since after the first step you have more input to the second one. Which means you make about 37% of what you could do with productivity modules instead of 50% 🙃

"I have no idea what it does, but it's probably dangerous and i will probably need it later, so it's time to stuff few cubic kilometers of barrels into a box now" is a motto of this playthrough

hype. the first was such top tier content. I can't believe we get a sequel so soon

I’m truly impressed with how much time you put into these videos. Thank you for making them, they’re one of the few videos of this length I’ll actually end up staying interested in all the way through

Massively entertaining and informative. Thank you dude!

Commenting for the algorithm and to say that these videos are not only full of useful info for my Factorio addiction but also amazing ASMR. I think you need a few T9 productivity modules yourself to help with these videos. Thanks for the content, glad I found your channel!

Intergrating a ground base and a space base sounds like the fast track to efficiency.

Hey, just wanted to say I love your content. Its amazing how much you've grown in just a few months! I know these videos must be a lot of work to put together, but I really hope you keep with it. I'm very excited to see the next(and hopefully final) episode of SE, as well as whatever you have planned for the future. Keep up the great work!

Tossing in another comment about the sushi belt. I always love seeing how many different ways people scramble items in a balanced manner and your setup looks awesome. Please do a walk through of it, even if it's brief!

I was definitely pumped for this one and it did not disappoint

FINALLY I've been checking your channel obsessively for this release. Whatever you're doing, you're doing it right. Please don't stop

I have been looking forward to this since the first video dropped, thanks for the timely release Dosh!

As someone who played through sea block, I definitely agree that the planning out a base without anywhere to actually build things is a huge pain

Another fantastic video. I'm loving the new space base, can't wait to see it all fired up! Also props to the helpers for doing crap work so we can all watch these videos faster.

Love your content so much, don’t watch any factorio content but when I stumbled across you couldn’t get enough, love the way you talk like it’s so simple and not complicated yet informative

I've played Factorio for just about 120 hours in total over the years, and I've launched 1 rocket. Watching this is like a finger painter watching Mozart play the piano and the music notes become physical objects and they pick up paint and paint masterpieces.

Great video, and I love your train base, particularly that giant ground to space train abomination. Maybe if you're looking for video ideas after this, I might suggest making a train 'tutorial' of sorts. Mostly a slower breakdown of how you design, because there are too many people/videos that seem to encourage extremely ridged (limited, and boring) city-block-only designs. This was so much fun to watch, really you always do an amazing job.

Hey, just so you know, keep up with the youtube channel. You have a unique style, and a unique content. You will get there. I am happy to see every new video you post and listen to it as a podcast/watch some parts. Amazing work!

Dosh, thx for your effort! I really enjoy watching and listening to you!

The amount of time and effort that is going into beating space exploration terrifies me and and I can't believe I'm still debating about trying it out for myself. I blame you for making another great video.

Nice, I always love more great Factorio content, especially over a mod I haven't dug into, yet.

Awesome! I saw the first one and was super excited for this episode, great job, i love this game and your narration is on point, keep up the awesome work!

By far some of the best content I have ever consumed comes from your channel, thanks for the monumental effort that this must take.

My friend and I have barely managed to get red space science going in 70 hours, this man is insane

Well I certainly understand what you're going through, played SpaceX with a group for many days, and got to about tier 3 sciences across the board except the last one of course... Then it petered out for various reasons, including the worsening lag issues and map size. Who'd have thought have more planets could make that worse, even if you do some level of trimming and so. Also people had a few question marks lets say on some of the mods decisions on how things should be made and over all balance. So as noted in the first ep, one of those that never quite finished it, but was happy we got quite far. Wonder what you'll be thinking near the end.

Impressed at the reference to ion exchange resin and an actual use for something like removing sulfates to replace with chlorides. I looked up a bit on Holmium mining, and sure enough, that's actually part of the process. Chloride resins stink.

Love the content! Always waiting for the perfect moment to watch your videos because they are so interesting

Looking forward to the next episode. This mod is insane!

Woohoo the continuation, can't contain my excitement!

What drove me away from this mod was that both times I attempted it the recipes changed (through an update) when I was at the space stage. My whole factory stopped because some testing kit needed different materials. Not only I would have to rebuild half my base but also all the saved blueprits were useless as they no longer worked... Maddening!

OH MY, I have already rewatched the first one for quite a bit, glad to have a second part!

WOW does RU-vid compression just LOVE this game

Yes another Dosh video to watch 30 times before another one comes out! This is the best day of my life!

I listened to your stuff to sleep. Its relaxing. Thanks 😊

Literally yesterday I looked through your channel to try to find this, that’s how good your content is dude!

Hey man has anyone ever mentioned your videos are pretty great?

I wonder how many of us watching are in college and studying to be engineers of the sort.

Man, this really makes me want to play this but i do not have near enough time on my hands, thank you for being the one to do it, love all your videos!

You are doing amazing. Love the video and I hope you get the popularity you deserve

I've been so inspired by these videos that I've started a space exploration run 3 weeks before my exams! This can only go well :)

quality as always, looking forward to the conclusion! Also, would love to see your vanilla speed runs! Would 100% watch a 4-hour vid!

I keep rewatching this and all your other Factorio videos, I used to play lots of factory PC games before my children were born and watching your problem solving takes me back! ( Yes it's only been like 4 years since I sold my PC, but kids are expensive)

Mate, I have to admire your dedication and skill, it is truly amazing and so entertaining to watch. Can´t wait for the third part. Now, let me rewatch this second part at least ten times, because even though I have been pausing now and then, I have still no clue what happened there.

i was just about to rewatch the first part. truly a gift:)

Looking forward to it. I am happy to see someone play mods I have zero chance of experiencing myself due to skill and time issues.

It's here! I have never waited for a video to come out in RU-vid. But this one, I'm so excited!

As someone who hasn’t played a lick of factorio, this is single-handedly the most interesting video I’ve watched. I will probably watch it 5-7 times before wanting a new episode, thank you so much for these videos and I’m looking forward to more of your content ❤️

your videos are the best! Ive been waiting for this!

This is a fantastic series, keep it up Dosh!

Just found this series and I love it. Keep it up.

omg i waited so much for this, thanks for posting it!

You are genuinely one of, if not THE best factorio youtuber out there. Excited to see more factorio and other games!

Didn't understand half of what was going on but GREAT VIDEO :D looking forward to seeing you actually explore space in Space Exploration! Good luck, have fun!
