how to build a MEGABASE in THREE EASY STEPS - Factorio Space Exploration #10

When I see 1K or 5K science per minute I've always wondered - Which schience? Red? Blue? Purple? White? Which one is it?

dumb dumb dumb

Ah yes, the horrible problems of working on an in-development modpack. :)

He legalized nuclear bombs

There’s wayyyy too much filler in this video. Takes way too long to get to the relevant info and just gets annoying

This video is the embodiment of your teacher saying there's 3 questions... each one having a. B. C. D....

Very funny the steps.
Please install next time the volutionGUI for showing the maptime playing in the corner

0.6 is a great update for anyone starting a new save, or even anyone who just hadn't gotten into space yet. It is NOT a good update for anyone who has put any significant time into a save. You made the correct decision. I am curious about the core mining dislike though; do you just dislike the concept of core mining? The new core mining is completely different from the old one, all they share is the name.

I had just got to the spaceship victory when 0.5 dropped.

So I started a K2SE with the new versions. The space elevator really changed up the logistics strategy feeding Norbit.

I wish you'd restarted with the new version. I think the playthrough would age better and get more long term views on the new version.

Maybe you could dramatize a calamity on Nauvis and abandon the entire planet and rebate somewhere else?

xxxxd

explain that Z on the map

So he’s a nazi and supporting russian invasion in Ukraine. That fucking ‘z’ on the map

honestly your "starter base" is big enough this megabase is huge over kill
not only that but later on you will unlock techs that make building this mega base way better and more efficient

That Z sure didnt age well uh or are you a russian bot supporting the genocide of ukrainians?

who wants to see outdated mods? oO sad thing but i mean thats pretty useless

Is the a blue print for the big base ?

Great job. I am really enjoying these factorio videos

I feel your pain with this latest update. I came home from a very long leave, and happened to have my nephew staying one night at my place before I drove him to the airport the next morning. I wanted to show him my Factorio SE world, and after doing a quick update, loading the world, and beginning the walk around... every single alarm I built started going off. Resources drying up everywhere, rocket parts no longer being made, oil delivery stopped, and the entire base basically shut down. The world as I knew it came to an abrupt end. :(

Needless to say, it was a very interesting (and tragic) showcase of a world that I'd spent a couple years of spare time building.

Unlike you, I've decided to just start the whole thing over, as I've missed the earlier, more exciting, days of SE. Maybe this time around I'll actually try taming a 100% threat world instead of just incinerating it with space lasers :P

Step #3.99🤣😅 - redo the entire base because the modpack updated ... :-(

I ve been watching your content since factorio miosis and i love it. Thank you for the entertaining videos for years

I started in 0.6 like a week and a half ago or so and looked about for some base inspirations. Actually see what I am getting into to be able to be prepared. Even though you are playing 0.5 it was a huge help. I modified your starter bp for 0.6. next to nothing was changed except replacing production and high tech science with the rocket science. I didn't bother changing out the requester chests though because I'm being lazy. When I actually start over and use the BP I'll either hand feed or figure something out.

....who wants to bet he puts another megabase in space connected via elevator
edit after watching: oops. space elevator is pretty neat tho, to my knowlege the space science is also easier to make in the update but not certian.

Three easy steps:
1. Prepare half of year to spend on this easy task
2. Design everything and place
3. Find new update that change everthing you've done
Repeat. :-)

The fact that your robots built the base top to bottom in such a clean line… ;-; my robots never listen to me

I started watching this series recently thinking it would be updated for 0.6. Too bad you are not willing to update and redesign, I was enjoying the series immensely (your production is top-notch), though I understand, considering how much time you invested in designing everything. Since I'm currently on a 0.6 playthrough, I'm not interested in watching 'old' stuff. Too much has changed. Have fun everybody.

SE .6 Oof! LOL!

Exactly why updates & auto updates are never good for crafting game!

You could have used the same blockspace for the trains that you use the for 2-4 trains. Just make the first three signals after a junction chain signals and you have the same effect as placing it 24 wagon lengths apart.

Can't wait for him to name the planet "The Island".

I always laugh and learn while watching your videos Zisteau. I will definitely be using your “three” step process in my future Factorio games as well as IRL.

Aren't you on their planet? So aren't you the alien?

Why do you Z sign on your map? Are you an orc supporter?

How long did it take you to design that “instant megabase” blueprint

yeah. I was 150 hours in my .5 play through. I started over for .6...

I sure do miss me a good ctm... haam haam...

Alternate episode title: This is getting a little silly

Oh man, that megabase looks awesome, I can't wait to see it in action!

Hope you're not feeling too bad about sticking to 0.5 Zisteau, especially on this scale of base the changes are just too large to adjust your setup to deal with.

Yea your maze has one wide corridors it needs two wide routes for the spitters, but also if i remember i dont think they ever get in range

wooooo!

Good choice, I make a point of never updating mods mid-playthrough, unless I encounter a bug that stops the game somehow. The main reason to do updates as quickly as possible is security, and that's not relevant for factorio mods.

Zisteau, I tried to follow your 3 easy steps but I got stuck at step .05 but it said I needed a Steam account first. Please advise.

Man, I can never not appreciate and love your editing and sense of humor, Zisteau :) never fail to be quality content.

My heart was breaking with every black line Z drew over the newly built mega base. That patch is rough dudes

It was fun until you started playing with those trains. That was boring and uneccessary.

Ouccchhhhh, piece by piece the beautiful design got blotted out.....
If you're sticking to 0.5, it'd be beautiful to get to see like a 15 minute video just following different raw resources in to the megabase, through processing and out as finished products - really get a feel for the scale and design of the factory lines!

whenever I play something modded I never upgrade unless it fixes issues I was experiencing. it always messes things up

and it would mean redoing the entire step 3 part of your simple and easy 3 step plan

this is a masterpiece

These factorio videos make my day better every time I watch them. Thanks so much for making them. I started playing space exploration (very casually) because of this series and have been having a blast. Looking forwards to the next one.
