I want to buy it since its 55% off, but I don't know if it has the fun kind of survival, or if it is just another "scrap mechanic" but in space, where there is a survival but the main game is just a sandbox. I like building what i want, but i would like to have a reason to do it, like automating mineral refineries or something like that, can someone say to me if it is just a sandbox game or if the survival can be fun?

SE is very worth it. Sadly, the PvE element is greatly lacking in this game.

I like your videos. Quick and to the point.

I would use a timer block to slowly advance the piston rather than just increase maximum distance, for better granularity; set the piston timer to like 2 seconds and to Turn On/Off the piston, then when the hinge maximum is reached, both trigger now and start the piston advance timer. The trigger now starts the piston extending, and it having started means that 2 seconds later, the piston turns off again.

Good job I will try this

i automatically turn the welders of with sensors so if i get too close to the welder it automatically shuts of so i dont get damaged and if i clear it turns it on again

Whilst this looks a good guide, I have an issue now accessing the refinery/assembler. The only place I can put ores is the Survival Kit, which isn't great for making anything other than basic components.

Am I weird for using connectors instead for my large grid computers? My experience with subgrids, especially on mobile grids, is that clang likes to fiddle with the physics even if rotors and hinges are locked, and pistons have sufficient axis/nonaxis stiffening. And because arguing with Clang pretty much always ends in losing said argument, I've experimented a little with using connectors instead. Looks neat with the newer inset connectors too. I set it into place using LG half blocks around the inset connector, firstly building SG blocks and a 3x3 connector over the gap with some room to work, secondly adding chamfered blocks around the rim of the 3x3 connector, thirdly removing the supporting blocks until you're left with your chamfered 5x5x2 SG connector, and finally... setting the LG inset connector to the forbidden 100% strength (spoiler alert: it kinda just teleports inbetween the half blocks without issue) and locking, not forgetting the parking setting of course. I get that it's a bit more hassle to set up, but you end up with a zero-movement, clang-free, sub-grid-but-not-really system at the end of the day.

The fun thing I've been noticing is that programable blocks are much more managable on a 3x3 rotor head as you can essentially make an entire server room in the space of a 3x3 small grid.

I’m trying to build a player made missile and this is helping alotttt

awesome! simple and effective. ive never really gotten into scripts (and my PC is a dino anyways, so im not sure how well if could handle it anyways), but i like mechanical analog stuff anyways! this is very helpful, especially with all these automation updates. thanks! (also, love the accent! makes it all that much more funny when surprises happen... "why is my demonstration base on fire?" lol)

your space engineers videos on tips and features are so useful and exactly what i have been looking for. short and sweet but so much info to help. hopefully you will make some more

Any update on this one with less PCU usage?

Never press p

I appreciate this but, for anyone playing on the official servers where pcu limited are 20k. the problem of stockpiling components is best solved by just making a lot of stuff. sorters, assemblers and event blocks for each component is an impossible cost. Of the top of head that's like 1.5kpcu just to solve a minor inconvenience? Your opponents who spend their 20k on offense will have like 16 ish more railguns!! Also scripts, experimental mode, and mods are disabled on official servers. anyone know any low pcu solutions?

I personally prefer to use sensors for my welder walls and pits to turn them off when it detects a player within the area. That said, it's not always reliable as it may turn off if it detects you in the seat

I use event controllers for power management by switching off reactors and engines when batteries are above 90%, and back on when batteries are below 15% switching batteries for recharge.

Welder wall? I need more videos explaining this stuff. The video was good but kinda vague for each structure. Any longer or more detailed videos?

The event controller when using a controller, doesn’t allow me to make a 2nd action. Like I have hydro engines powering batteries. I want the batteries to go into auto mode when they are fully charged and I want the engines to turn off. Then when the batteries get low enough I want to do the opposite but I can’t get more than one event set.

"Big Boxy Bases may Be a Builders Bane, But By Busting out these tips" Just to appreciate the Beginning Bit

You did not appease the machine spirit

well for the welders.. we just group the warning lights together with the welders so they turn on whenever we use the welders.. we also use rotating lights

its so funny to me that the official ingame AI is worse than what we can do with scripts.

This build makes me appreciate Space Engineers and the production quota mod in particular. I'm still a fan of ISY's for the sorting and pulling but I've since switched to production quota for my autocrafting needs and I love it. This, however, is quite a respectable use of vanilla blocks. Kudos.

I always disable "Use for Parking" for all Connectors

But i love isy's solar alignment

Amazing, now I can hook this up to my sorter system and fully organize and automate my base

i would rather want to know how your projection was already alignt with the real deal when i do that its NEVER in the same space and i have to move it...

Great lighting tips. I think they should work well with the new floodlights in Contact DLC.

I forgot that hinges could be used with turret controllers. I was using two rotors for my solar farm. It worked but not as well as a hinge would, I suspect.

I bought it yesterday, but unfortunately my laptop couldn't handle it, so I returned it.

mfw I dock to an unpowered cargo module and my batteries enter recharge mode.

I'd love it if there was some kind of function that let you hover over a block and repaint every block on the grid with the same color and skin all at once. For example, if i want to repaint my speeder bike, I could just hold down a key combo and repaint every block that is red with the retro future skin to some other color, while leaving the bits that are grey with no skin alone.

I can’t even make a damn ship. Now I gotta try this. Looks “EaSy.”

So to you,50m/s is slow? That’s 118 mph! That is COOK’n it! 😱😈🫡

Tip 5 is good from a safety feature standpoint but in my opinion a bit redundant given you could simply have the lights in the same group as the welders so they always turn on when you turn the welders on

Don’t hit P EVER! Set a switch lock connector on your hot bar

Use AI blocks to position "wingman" fighters to the sides and in front of your main ship. These will draw initial fire away from you, and give decentralized fire support.

That was really helpful. Thank you.

"why is my demo base on fire?" 😂😂😂 Classic space engineers

This is ... brilliant! Also, you need to get out more :)

Why is their own solution more complicated than the script that does this same thing without a camera

why no more videos

why does this game label hydrogen as H2 instead of H? I know a lot of things are simplified for game-play reasons, but it's bugging me why they added an extra 2.

how are you placing all the blocks like that by dragging it

love this video format! the ship event controller is actually super neat, I've been using timer blocks to trigger multiple sequence stuff while docking/undocking, but still had accidents happen now and then awesome tips!

On topic of not dying because of welder wall - add a sensor in welders area it to turn off welders if friendly/neutral player detected

Love this update

You still need to queue the components in the assembler tho

Thank you for this, you saved us a ton of time and frustration.
