Factorio Space Exploration Project

Introduction

Factorio project called 'These are the voyages of three idiots'.
They aim to overcome one of the most arduous mods created called Space Exploration.
The mod can take between 200 and 500 hours to complete.
It is not the hardest mod (that title belongs to Pyanodons), but it is still very challenging.
Very few players manage to complete space exploration.
In the interest of speeding up the process, the presenter has the help of two AIs that he has programmed.
The AIs are not very intelligent, so the presenter has to do most of the work.

You start without electric miners, yellow inserters, or electricity.
Everything is coal-powered, at least at the beginning.
The initial phase of the mod is from AA Industry and can take several hours to overcome the burner phase.
Science cannot be crafted in the inventory.

Once electric assemblers are obtained, we try to automate their creation.
Crucial components at the start include small engines and engines used in buildings.
Burner miners are automated and a standard smelter line with 48 furnaces is started.
Automated production of iron and copper is necessary.
A good copper mine is found in the northwest.
The mod makes health not regenerate, and relies on medkits.
Ammunition and turrets are automated due to the increasing problem with natives.

The idea is to scale production while handling resource logistics, which takes time.
Transition from coal usage to steam power.
Initial design problems lead to occasional base organization improvements.
Efficiency modules help reduce pollution and problems with biters.
The rate of red and green science manufacturing slowly increases behind automation.
Extensive use of cars to reduce walking time on slow tiles in the alien biome.
Decision to rebuild and reorganize the base with solar power generation.
Advanced improvements include conversions to electric furnaces and speed modules.

Launching satellites provides valuable information about space.
Satellites find planets, moons, and other celestial bodies with different resources.
Creative process of transmitting and receiving signals between space and terrestrial bases.
Specific missions are built to collect rare elements in space.
Logistics and energy (solar and even nuclear) are managed for sustainability and efficiency.

Use of iron and copper ingots to maximize resource transport through rocket missions.
Exploration of a variety of planetary biomes to optimize on-site production.

Various difficulties in implementing nuclear reactors and advanced resource processing.
Automation of ingot production and other key resources solves the problem of resource depletion on the home planet.

Common problems

Recurring issues with crime reserves and specific solutions through decentralized production.
Focus on improvements like the use of isolation generators and efficiency for pyrophiles.

The video highlights the completion of the terrestrial base but suggests future improvements.
Enthusiasm in building a more efficient space base along with the economy of space exploration.
Promise of more content.
