My First Trip to Vulcanus! | 56 | Factorio Space Age

Added: 2026-05-15

[00:00:00]On the last episode, one of my viewers put down a comment saying, "You promised the space." And you guys are like, "Come on, dude. This is Factorio Space Age.

[00:00:09]Everyone's on YouTube being to space like 2 million times. What are you doing? A novice tinkering with power.

[00:00:16]Hello." And I'm like, "Yes, yes, I know.

[00:00:19]But I have to pack lunch, right? I have to. What if there's no food on Volcanus?

[00:00:24]We're going That's it. Enough is enough.

[00:00:25]We are going Maxim is taking you to Volcanus." And I know you're you're going to be like, "You know, this is so good. It was all worth it." Let's pack lunch and let's go to Volcanus Maxim style. Hello and welcome. My name is Max and today we're going to Volcanus. And before we go, we need to pack some lunch. How do we do that? First things first, I need power. I don't know what sort of power generation capability is available on that forsaken planet, but I'm not taking risks. So, um yeah. I'm going to do this and I'm going to call this 480 MW nuclear or the other way around, nuclear power plant 480 MW. Okay, good.

[00:01:18]So, now I know I can load this into my spaceship.

[00:01:24]We're going to need some other stuff as well. We need circuits. We need inserters. We need logistics, but not of this kind. So, let's see.

[00:01:35]I'm going to need hmm logistics to go.

[00:01:42]Do I want to do this or do I want to have You know what? I'm going to do this. I'm going to just ignore this whole thing, go to the spaceship right here, and I'm going to create a section called supplies or tools.

[00:02:00]Tools from Novus Novus.

[00:02:05]Is that how it's pronounced? No. Oh, okay.

[00:02:09]No, that's a very difficult name to pronounce, Novus. Yeah. All right. Okay, so what do I want?

[00:02:18]I don't want these.

[00:02:20]I want some solar panels. You never know what's awaiting you on the other side.

[00:02:26]And we can afford a lot of items because look at this.

[00:02:30]Look at this space. Oh, boy. We can afford a lot of things. So, I'm going to bring this and on the way 520, which is epic. Let's go watch that. How is that happening? So, all these are ready and the robots are loading them. Just Just look at that.

[00:02:50]Just look how easy that is. And let's go.

[00:02:57]All right. Looks good.

[00:03:01]Beautiful.

[00:03:02]Now, let's not get too excited. Let's stick to the mission. So, we need some accumulators, too, for good measure.

[00:03:10]What else do we need?

[00:03:11]I'm not going to select this because I'm going to add a section. Where is the nuclear power plant? The modest version.

[00:03:18]Yeah, bring me everything that is required for this build right here.

[00:03:23]So, I don't need to pack any of these things. Maybe a little bit of this because I hear there are steam geysers or something on the other planet. So, maybe an extra 100 would be good. Yeah, okay, let's go.

[00:03:44]I need some offshore pumps, definitely, because I think there's going to be a lot of lava and for some reason I can extract them with offshore pumps.

[00:03:54]Pump jacks?

[00:03:55]Yeah, give me some of that.

[00:03:58]100 is good. Yeah, 100. What else do we need? Um electric furnace.

[00:04:04]Yeah, I'm going to take 200.

[00:04:08]Is that enough? Yeah, let's take 200.

[00:04:11]Let's take Oh, assembly machine is important, definitely. Give me as much as you can.

[00:04:18]Oil refinery, no. Chemical plants?

[00:04:22]Actually, do we need this? I don't know.

[00:04:24]I don't think so. So, I'll take chemical plants. If I'm wrong, I'll come back for that refinery later.

[00:04:32]Because Volcanus should not have any life forms, and where there is no life, there is no oil, right?

[00:04:38]I think that makes sense. That's that.

[00:04:41]No nuclear stuff, no research labs, no nothing. Beacons?

[00:04:47]Yeah, let's take some Let's take some beacons. Um Let's not get too Oh, yeah. All right, that's it.

[00:04:58]Now, for this part, well, we have the blue belts. Why not take them? Some undergrounds, and it's a bumpy planet, so we might need a lot of them, considering we have not turned off cliffs or anything on that planet.

[00:05:15]Um some of the splitter thingies.

[00:05:19]Definitely a decent number of power poles of different variety, and we might use a lot of these, so give me more of these one. We need a lot of pipes.

[00:05:32]But I think we can also produce a lot of pipes over there, so I think this will do.

[00:05:37]Now, I might be completely wrong about the ratios here, and how many of what I'm taking with me, but that's okay. We have a cool spaceship. We can come back and take things if we want. And I produced one of these, by the way, which is amazing, and I'm going to take it with me.

[00:05:57]So, hello. Let me Let's see. Do I have it in my pocket? Yes, I do have a tank in my pocket. Very convenient. Which I'm going to put right here.

[00:06:08]Yes. Wow, this is loud. Let's go stand somewhere else. Preferably Oh boy, this is loud. Um where is the tank? Here. Okay, bye. Now, let's go back into space and see what else is left. And as you can see, items are going up so fast. They're coming in fast, so that's cool. We need a lot of robots.

[00:06:33]You know why? Because we do. Uh 500, good. Mhm, I think I need more. But But let's start with 500, huh? Let's start with 500, and also one uh 500 of these construction thingies.

[00:06:48]The reason I'm taking so many logistic robots is because I'm trying to make a production hub uh a bot-based production hub over there on Volcanus.

[00:06:57]I'm done with building buses and stuff, main bus and stuff, because yeah, that was a lot of effort, honestly, on Novus.

[00:07:03]And the only reason I did that is because we always need Novus until the end of time for research and stuff like that. I'm not sure about Volcanus, so I'm not invested as much. And I'm not going to get any buffer chests. I just don't see the value in them. Maybe I don't know how to use them. I do know how to use them, but like how to use them effectively. Maybe they're good for wall maintenance or something, but on a day-to-day basis, mhm, no.

[00:07:33]Uh a lot of roboports, of course we need a lot of roboports.

[00:07:37]Lights, always a good idea to have some.

[00:07:40]And you know what? I'm going to add the circuit network just like that because I think that works perfectly.

[00:07:49]Do I want any of these? I don't think so.

[00:07:52]I forgot one thing.

[00:07:54]Storage tanks. How many? Let's bring 200 of these dummy chests with us as well. No. So, this is done.

[00:08:03]Oh, inserters. Hmm, I was just about to forget that. So, is that enough though?

[00:08:09]I don't think so, but we can make some if we want. So, let's stick to 300. I think I'm going to need the same amount for the green ones.

[00:08:20]And I think we're done here in this tab.

[00:08:23]And also, we have done this tab. So, it leaves us here.

[00:08:27]Oh, yes. We need a lot of these. And you know what?

[00:08:31]I'm not even going to risk it. Give me 1,000 of those. 100, 200. Yeah, it's going to be two rows.

[00:08:37]I'm quite okay with that. Give me 1,000.

[00:08:40]I want some under spaceship at all times. What else is there? Nothing else.

[00:08:46]And landing pad. One landing pad will do.

[00:08:51]Beautiful. Anything else? Nope.

[00:08:55]Weaponry. This is the good part. This is the juicy part. So, we're going to go head-on and fight the nasty creatures that are there. So, we need a lot of these. How many? Hmm.

[00:09:10]What is the stack size on this?

[00:09:12]The rocket stack size. Stack size 25.

[00:09:17]So, each rocket 25. What?

[00:09:19]I'm going to bring 1,000 with me for now.

[00:09:23]And is the tank here yet? No. So, let me go down for 1 second. Now, I think I know what's going on here. If you take the tank, if you put it down, you can actually equip this before taking off, which means what if I I put everything that it needs inside of it and yeah, let's Let's do this. Let's go here and see what we have. We need a lot of batteries or no, actually we don't because we have the good power source. So, let's take some.

[00:10:01]Let's take a little bit of these. Yeah.

[00:10:03][snorts] No, that's an overkill. That's enough.

[00:10:07]Now, we need some sort of defense. So, this is for defense, maybe even this.

[00:10:14]And then we need three legs. I'm going to copy this and I have to make a flexible blueprint by the way, that is parameterized later. So, until then, I'm just going to go and create some. We'll be making these.

[00:10:30]Thank you. So, if we have the ammunition, the uranium cannon shell ammunition, and we also have the tank, I think that's enough when dealing with those pesky worms, but we also need the tank to be our representative over there on that planet. So, we uh Now, this is the thing. I don't think I can afford this. We also need some of those roboports here, personal roboport. Oh, splendid. So, we have enough of those as well. And there, that's it. We are set. One, two, three, and two roboports, and that's all we want. Now, let's see. This is the moment of truth. Let's see if we can just pick this up. Okay, I did. Now, can I put it down?

[00:11:19]And will everything be there? Yes, beautiful. Okay.

[00:11:25]Then I'm just going to go and you know what? I'm just going to put it in the first one because this is a manual one.

[00:11:31]Can you please take this to space? Thank you. And yeah, it's going. Nice.

[00:11:37]All right, I think we are done. I have a feeling we are done and all we need to do is just to wait for everything to be loaded. I don't need any firearm magazines. Oh, I just don't think it's that kind of a planet. Uh, my armor is full. Oh, radars. Yes, we need a bunch of radars. 50 of them? That should do.

[00:12:02]And yeah, these things are just pointless on that planet. That's it, guys. We are set. We are set and we can safely go to Volcanis well after this whole thing has been delivered. So, let's wait until everything is here and then we'll go. All right, so everything is set and we are good to go. All that I need to do is to empty my pockets because that's how it's done apparently. So, you're not allowed to take any of these, but you are allowed to take your armor. All right, so I crafted an additional robot. Now we can use 100 robots and we can move a lot faster, which I like. Now let's go on to the spaceship Maximus nuclear laser ship. And that's it.

[00:12:53]Goodbye, Novus.

[00:12:55]See you.

[00:12:57]Oh, the clouds. That was a bad point for a save to happen, right? It just ruined the whole epicness of the ascension.

[00:13:05]All right, let's arrive and hello. That's it. Beautiful. Okay, Volcanis, here we come.

[00:13:15]And oh my god, this is epic. Look at those engines roar and we have a lot of fuel. Everything, the speed is good. And you know what? Um, I think these lasers are going to be good because look at this. I have 12 upgrades and those lasers given the huge research facility that we have on Novus. So, these asteroids here, they should pop like balloons.

[00:13:42]And they do. Ah, look at that. Listen to that. So satisfying.

[00:13:47]Pop.

[00:13:48]And the army arms are grabby grabbing everything. And you know what? It's going to be easier around Volcanus if we want to ever refuel or anything because there's a lot of these bigger chunks over there. So, yeah, all good. So, let's see how the ship operates. I like these two tiny things coming out of the side. The reactors are not even working. Like they're like, "Yeah, we have just too much power at this point." Steam full tanks, four of them. Water full. Fuel being generated, obviously. Steam turbines working. It's like, "Oh, we've already there?" That was short.

[00:14:27]>> [laughter] >> Oh my god, that was fast. I did not expect that. I was like, "Maybe it's going to take like two or three minutes at least." But, that's it. Splendid.

[00:14:35]Well, it's time to drop to the planet.

[00:14:40]Are you ready, guys?

[00:14:41]Let's do this.

[00:14:43]Drop to Volcanus.

[00:14:54]Oh, we traveled to planet Volcanus and we have an achievement. The red clouds and the ashlands. Epic. And we have landed on this amazing new planet and we're going to explore it.
