Idiots Play Space Engineers Series 1 features fudgetherat, W4kto and Uscur only. The series follows the trio as they start a game on the Earth base scenario, and transform the base, which they named 'Ya Mama', into a ship that they eventually take to the moon. The series' success is partly attributed to this feat, as well as the high level of comedy and, maybe most of all, the consistent hilarity of mistakes and accidents. The series also featured named vehicles that acted like reoccurring characters, including: Ya Mama, Ya Dad, Turtle, Stepdad.
Episodes were typically between 10-15 minutes long, with episode 14, called The Curse, being an extended 23 minute video, seen primarily from the perspective of Uscur's Twitch stream.
Idiots Play Space Engineers Series 2: Sand Digger's Union features fudgetherat, W4kto, Uscur and DanktheFox. The series is based on Pertam, a sand planet, and follows the group as they try to protect their base from reavers. The series ran from 5/2/2023 to 24/12/2023, featuring 12 episodes and gaining almost 12000 views. Unlike the first series, the second series has a consistent naming process, with episodes being titled Sand Digger's Union: Episode 1, etc.
The first episode of Idiots Play Space Engineers Series 3: Domesticated Ape Society released on 9/6/2024.
