Thanks so much for all the support and tips. I’m really enjoying Space Engineers. If you missed my first video in SE check it out here: th-cam.com/video/7hWWEiJig5Y/w-d-xo.html Make sure to let me know what you think I should do next and any mods you’d recommend.
You got me sucked back in... Well you as well as other great content creators lol. I've actually been having more fun than I ever have so far. I have a calmer mind nowadays than I used to so I can troubleshoot more effectively than I used to. Wish I could remember all the controls lol.
you can hold X to jump in a rover, you can also use gyro override in its settings to flip it over, also if you are going to crash in a miner its best to land on its drills since they dont take as much damage when colliding with voxels. also I suggest getting a speed mod. makes the game way better.
@SurvivalBobGaming there's a mod called FSD Supercruise that functions like a replacement for the warp drive. It ramps up your speed drastically (like 10x base) by using massive amounts of power. A cool trade-off, and iirc when stopping it functions like the warp drive so it'll just stop you. I also know it stops before entering gravity fields so that might help avoid certain situations haha
@@SurvivalBobGaming If you're planning on doing more within space engineers I can provide you with an updated mod list, load order and world configurations that have been confirmed as working in single player and multi player by yours truly and a few good friends, so you can just disable things you don't want to use :) Believe you will enjoy it a lot, as well as being able to go faster without it being incredibly janky, there are new challenges to overcome that are based around thermal management, gravity, and speed while planet-side.
Ha! Fun stuff. As another one of those veterans with a couple thousand hours, your journey into Space Engineers has been really satisfying to watch! Thank you also for including the mods you run with! This looks like a nice pack to try.
Hey Bob, great series, just wanted to let you know that a good way to flip a ship or rover is to build batteries in a stack off one side. Just place the frames, no need to fully build them, and they will have the same weight as if they were the finished product. Because batteries are fairly heavy and you are making a long arm you can almost always lever a ship/rover upright. Best part is the only thing that breaks when you roll over is the battery shells. Hope that helps if you ever flip anything, which because you are a professional Bob, seems likely :)
Got to love how entertaining your videos are. Can’t believe you made it for so long without putting a couple of batteries on your base to help with that power issue.
Oh man I knew what was coming when you rotated axis in full gravity 🤣 New video was worth the wait! I def. like the idea of rolling with it and working from the mars surface to find your way back to Big Sexy! Honestly, while extremely disheartening crashing your ship. It did indeed make a great transition into what could be the next episode of bobs adventures. This was an hour well spent watching.
Thank you so much! I agree. It sucked at the time, but I love early game when everything is a challenge and felt like trying to start over from Mars would be fun!
@@SurvivalBobGaming If you ever run into this problem again, keep in mind that while in that bubble you and your ship cannot take any damage. So if you were to say use a gyro or a thruster to roll back into the station to try to right yourself, you can do so without shredding your rig. Second you go outside of the bubble its fair game though, as you found out haha.
Being this is 7 months ago, I sure hope you have learned about Gyroscope Override to be able to flip things you've turtled. Love these vids....Gives me a chuckle thinking back to when I first started SE. I just started playing again after being out of it for a while.
Tip: If you want small grid, make a rotor on your main base, then grind down the rotor head and replace it with a small grid head in the config menu. This way, your build will be powered and won’t Despawn!
When your ship flips over in a gravity well, use the over ride feature on the gyroscope in the control tab. its more powerful then using the movement on the mouse or the q and e buttons. You can also use block frames to build off one side of the ship and turn it over. I find that one kind of cheaty thou. This is very entertaining thanks for the uploads.
Good! I’m really glad you like them! They were a bitch to do! Well, actually they were easy but afterwards my PC crapped up because of the program I used and it took a day to fix it.
Excellent start! You have made all the prerequisite mistakes absolutely everyone makes, learned from them, had the ups and downs, and most of all had fun seeing where the adventure takes you. SE is always an adventure and with almost literally infinate things to see and do it takes a long time before you feel like you've even scratched the surface. I have over 11,000hrs in SE and I'm still in awe of it constantly. IMHO The physics engine (Vrage) with its Neutonion physics, mass and volume, and deformable structures creates a world that feels "real" in a way that no other game engine has been able to produce. 😀
@@SurvivalBobGaming wait until you start seeing what the community is doing with the game 🙂, there's an the expanse sci fi themed server, it fits a proper amount of people with faction wars and events. there's a racing server with actual championships. and someone made a city planet called teralis
@@SurvivalBobGaming yeah, it was a tv series that was being able to maintain great quality through the seasons, but the ending could have been different
No kidding, I watched your previous space engineers videos Yesterday hoping that there'd be another one. And luckily i didn't have to wait long. Can't wait to enjoy this one aswell.
Quick tip: With new event controllers, you can set up your ships so that they refuel and recharge automatically when you dock, without the need to use any buttons.
Loved the video! Here’s a tip: Ion thrusters don’t work in atmosphere, However, the moon doesn’t have an atmosphere, and as long as you have enough thrust to withstand 0.25g, you can fly full ion ships on the moon.
Instead of unworthy Gek know he plays as little grey dude from the Moon. Good to see you in action again. I haven't played Space Engineer yet. Seems like a good game for the coming season. Keep it up. Thanks for the upload.
What I always do to avoid overshooting planets when I have a jump drive is to point directly at it and then slowly decrease my jump radius until I stop getting the natural gravity message. That way, I get as close as I can and don't overshoot it :)
Ive got 2500h in this game, and watching someone play like this is really refreshing. And yes, a life of piracy is extremely easy. Fun fact: if you use a ship grinder on a neutral ship, you don't lose reputation. You should make a massive grinder ship with a bunch of cargo space next, and scrap anything you come across
3 things Bob when in need of saving resources use interior blocks for scaffolding they require a lot less iron. You do not have to finish the landing gear In order for it to lock down. And finally when in a desperate situation for power one good way to fix it is by placing a large grid rotor don’t build it. Grind off the head then go to the control panel and add a small rotor head to it. This will allow you to build small grid batteries o2h2 and hydrogen engines. Much less resource intensive and will help you build the larger variants while you can’t transfer o2or h they will share power between the grid/sub grid .
I highly recommend Engineers build at least one cheap vehicle to zip around in to save from relying on your suit. A seat, battery, hydrogen tank, and one thruster per side can really help get around. Like having a scooter or golf cart.
Lol - Great to see another episode of this Bob! 😊 Seems like you made your own Escape from Mars Scenario now.. haha. Btw, Ion Thrusters should be fine on the Moon though - as gravity is much lower on moons.
@@Cinco555WasTaken There is some gravity pulling towards the lunar surface, if you don't have enough trust the craft will fall, same as if you shut down the engines, and if you leave a ship hovering over the lunar surface it will consume more power/fuel than if it was in zero g space. Another thing is the more mass the slower a ship accelerates and decelerate, ion is not as powerful for safe maneuvering as hydrogen but if you are careful it will work just fine. Hydro thrusters have tons more thrusts, so you can make do with less and smaller ones, saving some weight and space as well as resources. Ion engines are kind of heavy plus the batteries and generators. Its also a matter what you want to power your craft, if you have trouble generating electricity you might want to go hydro, if you unlock nuclear generators and have enough uranium then run ions. That said, you are correct that ion thrusters will do nothing in atmosphere.
Really great vid, Bob. One of my 'best' experiences was crashing in a freighter on Europa and having to jerry-build a ship from the wreckage. It's a real achivement to get it done.
I have 3 tips for building combat focused ships. The main one is more types of weapons the worse for survival, especially for non capital ship. Your main ship that will be what makes all the ammo can generally have more types. But unless you got scripts going to manage your ammo levels it just makes it harder to know if you need ammo and what ammo. That issue get worse when you need to load your fighters with ammo and have 3-4 different types to grab. Scripts can completely remove those issue mainly Isy's Inventory manager. Even though I have used that script in my ships for 4+ years (I think) now, I still don't rely on it cause setting up script tends to add another 10+ hours to ship building. I say 10+ cause my dyslexia makes all that take twice as long as most people would I imagine. The second tip would be don't put all your eggs in 1 basket cause things go BOOM. Basically just don't put all your hydrogen tanks in 1 exposed spot and all your ammo in 1 container. The last combat focused tip would be you just need 2 directions of thrust on 2 different axis's. The most common ones are upward and forward thrust but you could do backwards and right thrust if you wanted. You still need all 6 directions of thrust but 2 lets you through use of rolling basically have powerful thrust in all directions to dodge projectiles with. Keeping that in mined with all ship really about what do I need the ship to do and so where should I put thrusters is helpful for all ship mostly miners and combat ones though. Just to try and add more clarity cause I suck as explaining things: You make an atmospheric miner with it's drills facing forward relative to the cockpit. To be able to mine without to much worry about crashing you most likely want backwards and upwards thrust to be your main focus and only a little bit of downwards because you have gravity but you still need some in case you tip to far forward. (Learnt that one the hard way more times than I care to admit.) On mining in atmosphere the easiest miner to use it something that doesn't mine much and is easy to replace. like a drill cockpit and medium cargo container for storage and that's it. Or as call it a jelly miner where you basically only have down thrust and have your drills facing down and just go up and down. Good for ice but only useful when scaled up to be large so the cargo size makes up for how slow it is. Also not to do with combat at all but never settle for good enough for your ships cause building good ships takes hundreds if not thousands of hours and you can look at others ships for idea of steal bits off of if you can't think of a good way to do something you want to do. I don't think I made a ship I would call good now until I had over 1000 hours in the game and it's because I started putting in the extra 10% stuff that can double the time to make a ship. Stuff like slightly changing the shade of paint or changing the textures to add detail. My point cause I got off topic was that you want to always push what you try to build with each ship maybe don't constantly change a ship that is going to get destroyed. But In a world where you will be spending a few dozen hours on then it's a good idea to keep working on that capital ship you are using as your base or what ever. Don't have to be big things but things like going back and adding new functions like missiles or more cargo or what ever. Or adding detail where there wasn't before. A side note on detail a very useful thing for making good ships and is the thing I suggest to work on first is greebling. If you ever got super super big into Lego as a kid or teen you might know this already but it's basically adding detail/texture through shape usually small details like slightly insetting something. Think off all those little structures on an Imperial Star Destroy, that's greebling. As I understand it at least, I could be wrong in some ways. Great video and I hope to see more.
Really good watch while I wait for day to come, as I have modded my simulation to have pitch black nights, and I forgot to put lights on my light scout ship
This is one of my favorite games, and as an avid plushie addic...er um collector I would've been so mad about having that plushie yanked from me like that🤣 more so then loosing half mil in superconductors. Watched your other 100days of SE a while back. Good content 🤙 Please keep doing these
@@SurvivalBobGaming just a quick tip you can cycle what systems your weapons aim at(weapons, propulsion, power systems) in the control menu, or set a hot key to cycle through the options on your hot bar. Handy for a life of piracy to ensure your spoils don't get too damaged🤙
@@Spadez614 lots of bobs favourite colour!! Orange xD Shame he didn't have a ship that was yellow that he called orange like he did with his "orange ball" ship in NMS xD
Amusing seeing you make all the mistakes I made ages ago, like a right of passage or something. I presume you've already been told elsewhere by now, but using override controls on a gyro will help you re-orient a flipped ship. Knowing you can do that will stop you from flailing around and causing ship damage like your ship at the end...
Made it to the end! I have over 2300 hours in game and enjoyed watching you go through similar trials and tribulations. If you ever want any tips, feel free to ask.
Can you please do Ares at War! I really wish more people would do a play through of it. It is a really awesome scenario that even has a story. The best way to experience the story is to start at one of the colonies on Agaris (Carcosa or Azuris). And you can start in space or crashed on another planet in the system. One of the best things about Ares at War is that there is unique resources on 5 different planets so it forces you to go to all of the different planets and gather the resources which is really cool and adds depth to every play through.
@@SurvivalBobGamingit was just in the front page the other day! If you go to the bottom section of the home page it should be the 4th one down in the most popular section!
Also tip for space travel, if you turn off dampeners then you can thrust up to speed and let yourself drift. Uses less fuel. Warning though don't do it in atmosphere lol
Loved the video bob! Thank you so much for the entertainment... Also...make sure to add more thrusters to all sides of your ships next time...and dont forget... Welders are HOT
If you decide to play with scripts, theres a fantastic moving map script that can show the planets gravity wells so that you dont fly into them. Its a must-have for me.
You can disable the "cleaning" so it will stop deleting grids without power, or adjust the settings to your liking, its specially useful for single player survival runs because of all the things you went through loosing materials when it deleted your unfinished grids. It might seem like cheating but this is a feature added to stop multiplayer games from becoming unimageable cuz of bloating after a while. My buddy and I run the cleanup process semi manually. Basically just let it run on deleting chunks that are flying away and are very far, and then we let it delete bits of unpowered grids when we choose. This way we minimize the chances of loosing vehicles because of oopsies or clang.
This video has made me want to check out space engineers again! I remember buying it and getting very bored within a couple of hours back when it is was still early days. Looks like there's so much fun to be had!
There is a mod that auto-picks up all the ores you mine I think its called Auto ore pickup also Ctrl + z and aim at a grid to lock your speed on that grid/ship "lock Dampers" Getting yourself a Paintgun makes reskinning and repainting your ship way easier :)
6:49 SOLUTION: pistons, rotors, landing gear. You can build an arm that allows you to rotate your craft. Alt: if yo manual overide the GYRO on your craft, you can force it (in low gravity) to roll over (warning be ready to reset it, otherwise it WILL keep spinning. Destroying its self)
When your vehicle rolls over you can stack blocks in a straight line and put batteries at the end (no need to build them). Turn them over by changing the center of gravity. Because the weight of the block is the same whether it is built or not.
When you want to build a small ship you can use the rotor to install the small rotor head. The rotor can provide power directly and if you install the advanced rotor head and connect the conveyor you can also directly refuel.
It is great seeing more content creators getting into this game too, so maybe some people who haven't heard of it, or haven't seen the game-play in a long time will give it a chance, cause it is a fun time and even better with a few buddies. Cheers for the entertaining video as well mate, hopefully you find the time to do more SE content in the future.

To be able to mine without to much worry about crashing you most likely want backwards and upwards thrust to be your main focus and only a little bit of downwards because you have gravity but you still need some in case you tip to far forward. (Learnt that one the hard way more times than I care to admit.) On mining in atmosphere the easiest miner to use it something that doesn't mine much and is easy to replace. like a drill cockpit and medium cargo container for storage and that's it. Or as call it a jelly miner where you basically only have down thrust and have your drills facing down and just go up and down. Good for ice but only useful when scaled up to be large so the cargo size makes up for how slow it is.
Also not to do with combat at all but never settle for good enough for your ships cause building good ships takes hundreds if not thousands of hours and you can look at others ships for idea of steal bits off of if you can't think of a good way to do something you want to do. I don't think I made a ship I would call good now until I had over 1000 hours in the game and it's because I started putting in the extra 10% stuff that can double the time to make a ship. Stuff like slightly changing the shade of paint or changing the textures to add detail. My point cause I got off topic was that you want to always push what you try to build with each ship maybe don't constantly change a ship that is going to get destroyed. But In a world where you will be spending a few dozen hours on then it's a good idea to keep working on that capital ship you are using as your base or what ever. Don't have to be big things but things like going back and adding new functions like missiles or more cargo or what ever. Or adding detail where there wasn't before.
A side note on detail a very useful thing for making good ships and is the thing I suggest to work on first is greebling. If you ever got super super big into Lego as a kid or teen you might know this already but it's basically adding detail/texture through shape usually small details like slightly insetting something. Think off all those little structures on an Imperial Star Destroy, that's greebling. As I understand it at least, I could be wrong in some ways.
Great video and I hope to see more.
Thanks so much for the tips! It can be really overwhelming in the beginning, but I’m having a lot of fun!
If you want quiet tools you can just turn on realistic sound since having your visor down muffles everything which is nice
5 stars, more of these please! I love your narrative style here on these videos as there is less combat I think and more narrative and funny!!!
Feels like I’m watching minecraft civilization video
Gotta Jump-fly (dampeners off, just maintain altitude till you need to land), or at least glide (front thursters off) to save fuel. Love the vids
I think it'd be awesome to see you try to survive crashed on that planet and get back to the big beauty.
this is so cool i was watching this first part it LITTERALY dropped 0.2 seconds before it finished
was a fun video did a bunch. well done glad you are enjoying SE
Thanks 👍 glad you enjoyed the video!
quick tip respawn rovers have a speed limit go to the wheels interface and you can see the set limit
Please please please, carry on this series. I can't wait to see how you go on big red
5:19 there's also a "crouch" function for the suspension which causes a jump when you let go.
Really good watch while I wait for day to come, as I have modded my simulation to have pitch black nights, and I forgot to put lights on my light scout ship
The end Scenario sounds really interesting awesome video
Thanks! I think it would be fun!
Please please please continue this series
Bob is one of the best things to ever happen to SE, some of my recent shenanigans ive recognize as a Bob move lmao
Embrace the bob in you.
This is extremely entertaining. Loved watching you learn and grow and come up with ideas!
This is one of my favorite games, and as an avid plushie addic...er um collector I would've been so mad about having that plushie yanked from me like that🤣 more so then loosing half mil in superconductors. Watched your other 100days of SE a while back. Good content 🤙 Please keep doing these
Thanks! The plushie was the last straw I’m turning me to a life of crime…lol
@@SurvivalBobGaming just a quick tip you can cycle what systems your weapons aim at(weapons, propulsion, power systems) in the control menu, or set a hot key to cycle through the options on your hot bar. Handy for a life of piracy to ensure your spoils don't get too damaged🤙
Oh! Great tip! Thanks 🙏
YaaaaaasY
We missed you Bob!
Thanks for the video! Now let's see what you been doing !
Seems like a bunch of mistakes were made lmmfao
@@Spadez614 lots of bobs favourite colour!! Orange xD
Shame he didn't have a ship that was yellow that he called orange like he did with his "orange ball" ship in NMS xD
@@Mr3ppozz I'm surprised 99 problems didn't make a cameo lol
Well I did name my faction Mistakes Were Made.
Only a few mistakes... so it was definitely not bad... and most assuredly was a fun watch!!!
I built Ion Thrusters on my Moon Mining ship...as I only need it for my Frigates tanks thankfully. Also am really loving the Gravel Resource Mod
Amusing seeing you make all the mistakes I made ages ago, like a right of passage or something. I presume you've already been told elsewhere by now, but using override controls on a gyro will help you re-orient a flipped ship. Knowing you can do that will stop you from flailing around and causing ship damage like your ship at the end...
If you need to flip a vehicle, you can use actual engineering/physics to build a long armor lever and hopping on it. All you need is steel plates.
Bob I must say we just met but you are already one of my favorites, thanks for also including the mods you use!
Thanks! Hope you enjoy it for yourself!
When traversing, use inertia to carry you there, turn off your dampeners until you get close. Makes fuel last astronomically longer
I did eventually learn that and now Starfield is driving me crazy with its flight mechanics.
I know there is a large grid version of the survival kit, meaning you didnt need to make a small grid to build it.
Yeah, I made one once I had the resources.
You should try a shield generator mod and weapon core, and the mods that give Nov shields and custom weapons if u wanna add
I’ll take a look. There are so many mods for this game.
Made it to the end! I have over 2300 hours in game and enjoyed watching you go through similar trials and tribulations. If you ever want any tips, feel free to ask.
Awesome, thank you!
Can you please do Ares at War! I really wish more people would do a play through of it. It is a really awesome scenario that even has a story. The best way to experience the story is to start at one of the colonies on Agaris (Carcosa or Azuris). And you can start in space or crashed on another planet in the system. One of the best things about Ares at War is that there is unique resources on 5 different planets so it forces you to go to all of the different planets and gather the resources which is really cool and adds depth to every play through.
Never heard of it. I’m about to start a live stream series and was just looking at scenarios. I’ll look at this one for sure. Sounds cool.
@@SurvivalBobGamingit was just in the front page the other day! If you go to the bottom section of the home page it should be the 4th one down in the most popular section!
Also tip for space travel, if you turn off dampeners then you can thrust up to speed and let yourself drift. Uses less fuel.
Warning though don't do it in atmosphere lol
yo i got a question do this game have players as in servers with 100 active players?? or is it a dead game i love massive online games
Just finished watching it was great you should make a base on all planets
thanks! I’d love to!
Loved the video bob!
Thank you so much for the entertainment...
Also...make sure to add more thrusters to all sides of your ships next time...and dont forget... Welders are HOT
Thanks brother!
I gotta say, your videos are so effin fun to watch! I love the humor and the sarcastic tone. Hope you do more Space Engineers videos.
Thx for sharing
Thank you! I’m planning on it!
If you decide to play with scripts, theres a fantastic moving map script that can show the planets gravity wells so that you dont fly into them. Its a must-have for me.
Planet Map 3D by SJ_Omega.
It works flawlessly.

KUSS Station Inhabitants: You saved us Bob!
Bob: More like under new management.
😂😂😂
A good practice is to always put a few gyros on rovers, then just keep them off unless you need to flip over.
You can disable the "cleaning" so it will stop deleting grids without power, or adjust the settings to your liking, its specially useful for single player survival runs because of all the things you went through loosing materials when it deleted your unfinished grids.
It might seem like cheating but this is a feature added to stop multiplayer games from becoming unimageable cuz of bloating after a while. My buddy and I run the cleanup process semi manually. Basically just let it run on deleting chunks that are flying away and are very far, and then we let it delete bits of unpowered grids when we choose. This way we minimize the chances of loosing vehicles because of oopsies or clang.
Yeah, I really need to do that next time.
Just got the game and these 100 days are the main way i learn how to play
This video has made me want to check out space engineers again! I remember buying it and getting very bored within a couple of hours back when it is was still early days.
Looks like there's so much fun to be had!
Awesome! I hope you enjoy the game!
These are so entertaining! I absolutely LOVE your SE content. I say you should continue where you’re at and build yourself a ship to get off Mars.
Thanks so much!
Just bought this game yesterday. Seems promising, and I like it so far. I just have alot of learning to do.
That so cool. This game is really awesome.
Thanks buddy! You should give it a try!
@@SurvivalBobGaming i added it on steam. will try it soon ^.^ . thank you bro
Sure thing! I know how had it is to find time for all the great games.
I’m a day one player but man I’ve really enjoyed watching your play threw. Looking forward to seeing how you escape mars.
Thanks!
i liked your first 100 day video so much that i was disappointed there wasnt more content like this, keep up the good work
These take a while (3-4 weeks) and I’ve been taking some vacation this summer. My plan is for at least one a month.
Every mishap you had in this ep. "Been there, done dat". Great vid.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
There is a mod that auto-picks up all the ores you mine I think its called Auto ore pickup
also Ctrl + z and aim at a grid to lock your speed on that grid/ship "lock Dampers"
Getting yourself a Paintgun makes reskinning and repainting your ship way easier :)
I really enjoyed watching your space engineer videos today. Thanks for sharing!!
6:49 SOLUTION: pistons, rotors, landing gear. You can build an arm that allows you to rotate your craft. Alt: if yo manual overide the GYRO on your craft, you can force it (in low gravity) to roll over (warning be ready to reset it, otherwise it WILL keep spinning. Destroying its self)
This Video was like watching a Movie. And I was on the edge of my seat to see the next adventure hoping the vid wouldn't end. Nice ty.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
When your vehicle rolls over you can stack blocks in a straight line and put batteries at the end (no need to build them).
Turn them over by changing the center of gravity.
Because the weight of the block is the same whether it is built or not.
When you want to build a small ship you can use the rotor to install the small rotor head.
The rotor can provide power directly and if you install the advanced rotor head and connect the conveyor you can also directly refuel.
It is great seeing more content creators getting into this game too, so maybe some people who haven't heard of it, or haven't seen the game-play in a long time will give it a chance, cause it is a fun time and even better with a few buddies. Cheers for the entertaining video as well mate, hopefully you find the time to do more SE content in the future.
Please continue the "Saga of Bob" and his downward spiral into a life of crime and piracy. This is gold.
While this might be an older upload of yours - I'm only 12 minutes in and I am so stupidly entertained by this wow. Great job dude!
This was better than your entire no man's sky content in whole. Would watch if you did more space engineers
Watch to the end. Enjoyed the video. I've been wondering what you've been up to. Looking forward to your next adventures in the series.
Hey bud. Good to see you. I’ve just been working on this and taking some vacations w the family. Thanks for watching’
Space engineers is a great way to practice not pressing the wrong button and killing yourself. So many ways to smash yourself
So many way…lol
This was really really entertaining
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
