Spanj joined a fisting club recently. "It’s not something I’m particularly into, I’m just trying to widen the circle of my friends." Spanj is quoted as saying.....
When you have been watching Spanj for years and you hav been playing Empyrion for just as long,yet you still watch his “beginners guide”. Anyone else here doing the same?
I watch for the creator not the content. Spanj is generally entertaining to me regardless of what game he's playing. Besides beginners guides may point out some feature I didn't know about or had long forgotten
Yep. Besides entertaining, Spanj has a 'matter of fact' way of explaining things that doesn't force the video into a classroom atmosphere, but instead a bunch of people he invites over to just talk and play games and have fun.
when i first picked up Empyrion, i played it for maybe 10 hours, not even getting to space before giving up. few years later i stumble upon spanj's videos and saw what the game truly had to offer, and more importantly, how to succeed early on. since then i now have nearly 1200 hours in Empyrion over a few playthroughs, yet i still watch your videos, including this complete beginner series. Cheers mate - you opened my eyes to what ended up being my most played game on steam!
Now that you have a ship, you should show how to change the external view when flying (i.e., adjust whether you are above or below the ship and how far away from it). I always forget how to do this and getting that view right can be very helpful in a dogfight.
@@monkeybarmonkeyman there is a way to alter the standard "V" view when flying to be above or below or further back of the default "V" view. I just can't remember how. 🤦
Something to highlight in the mineral synthetic lab because it's common in other big pois is the puzzle minigame. Flipping the right switches gets you access to some of those restricted areas for more loot. Plus there's more to explore, a lot of nooks and crannies will lead to secret rooms. You walked right past one in the lab. Also note the shower resets your body temperature (and radiation) so it's a nice relief when one is nearby and you're fighting the elements.
Another note for beginners, items will not craft while you are looking in the storage box that they are crafting into. You need to close out of it for it to start depositing again.
I discovered this game from my co-worker He told me he was used to play it with his brother, and I decided to try it myself. Those 20€ are very vise spent on this thing, I am in love with stuff you can do in this, it's simple yet complex, can do so much in there Either way let me tell you that I love your content, your voice is calming and love your vibes, people who are around you have to be very lucky to have you in their life :')
4:20 There's still a reason to get a hover miner when Check Mass/Volume is on: They hold vastly more inventory than the player can, on top of, y'know, moving a whole lot quicker, usually close to the speed of the hoverbike, entirely lacking the weird clipping thing, and notably less sensitive to smacking their faces on the floor. Also, i regret to inform you but large fuel packs have no added efficiency. 10 prometheum pellets are still 2x30 PUh of power regardless of what recipe you use.
I usually get the white dart from the library as first ship, its level 5 and easy to build. So i did thw Quarry with a ship that fooked me up at the end, the drones do a ton damage to SV. Parked it on the top while i was down in the quarry. Minor setback :D total loss. My second is already done as well, 2 chain gun 2 rocket launcher two turrets and a warp drive. Room for a shield as well. Roughly 8k storage.
Playin on Patrol vessel starters and Lost Mia a bit - i reflexively bury my SVs in tunnels (with bends) now - probably more than i need to - and usually just end up building my first vessel at least, as normally short on resources, and too painful replacing any intricate 'nice' blocks and textures when they are inevitably blown off.
Another option for a badly damaged ship early game...multitool it down, recovering the blocks...and feed it back into the factory. As long as you leave the core as the last block, you won't lose much that wasn't destroyed. It can be a lot quicker than trying to reconstruct it..especially if its not your own build. Also I agree with turrets on starters...for my own playstyle I prefer turrets over fixed guns. Minng in vanilla is pretty quick even with the basic tools, which is why I never bother with mining Vs until much later. Janky as it is..that Hoverbike still wins, hands down, over the motorbike😁
@ubiergo1978 You will totally recover everything that was left ..except the core...and possibly losing some ammo that may still be in weapons etc. So a little bit, but nothing drastic unless you are really hurting for mats.
@@solospirit4212 So, since it was a small ship, it was better just to scrap it entirely and forget about it. O.O World difference if it was a huge Capital Vessel, of course. O.O
by my calculation both fuel packs are good for 6 power per promethium pellet. the only thing you get for the big packs is more power consolidation per stack.
Yes i was like, wait a moment... :) But then i saw the crafting times. Small takes 3.5s to make 2 and you need to do 5 runs to get 10 packs to get 300PUh, that is 5x3.5s=17,5s total craft time. Large takes 10.5s to make 2 and you only need to do one run, to get to 300PUh.
Aside from the crafting time reduction, I feel the only other benefit is if you're using auto miners. Since they can only hold 14 units of any fuel it's best to use the most energy dense fuels available to you. And the large packs, though they consume the same amount of resources as the small packs, are far more energy dense. Which in turn results in more resources and fewer refuel trips. Honestly though, I feel the game would benefit from more fuel types, since your only real choice is to use promethium in its various forms. There could even be variable effects for the fuels, or just differing energy densities. Even something simple and renewable like Star Salvage's energy cell would be pretty cool.
Remember the drastic reduction in volume and mass. It takes 5 small packs to equal one large, but it only takes up the space of 2 instead of the 5 for the same energy.
Your video's are still great Spanj. You typically do show the best process for whatever task but sometimes not (We're all human) and then sometimes unlike others you show what can happen and more with ways to get back on the right track. Keep on :)
First? No? Oh well, I'm here anyway. Spanj finds a sniper rifle in the POI lootbox, doesn't pick it up because it's tier 1. Drone shoots his ship then lurks above the POI. Spanj wishes he had a sniper rifle. Drone kills his ship some more
5/15 is not more efficient than 1/3, it's exactly the same. If you actually wanted efficiency, you would convert wood into small promethium packs, and save your promethium for whatever else you might need it for.
Yes, turrets. But Spanj does not have the CPU room anymore, unless he were to delete something important from his ship. Or install a CPU Extender (that you saw he can't afford).
Spanj: "A turret would have saved my ship from taking damage." Also Spanj: "If you're making a new ship it's a good idea to put a turret on it." Still Spanj: _Doesn't add a turret._
There was one other option for repairing it you can take it apart and put the hole pieces into the Factory and then respawn the ship only having the ad in whatever material it needs to build the missing pieces
Oh you got me back playing LOL I used the swamp world but the bloody spawns you over a pit you then drop to the floor . great start no kit found a flame thrower 😁to kill the spiders but no story to follow I found the PDA and read it but no way point . "Elion please fix" I died about 4 times just trying to get out the pit bloody mosquitos so i restarted my old kit was there LOL and it had all the starter stuff in it which I didn't have ?? also had all the starter stuff with the restart so 2x lol but still no way point to continue on the missions then a drone came I only had the starter weapon and the flame thrower yes dead, dead , dead, restart new game new moon mission works . you have the best luck with loot its not fair LOL I also know you cant do anything but the hope the dev's read your comments 😃
I remember on video where Spanj died 35x in one loop, ***At HIS BASE *** !!! In another he died 50x + going thru one POI. He has over 5k hours in-game. Care to take a guess at how many times he restarted? I can't math that.
For ref: I have about 500 hrs IG. I once *somehow* got on the Zirax shipyard and was instantly in an unending death-loop. How did I get out? I waved my magic mouse over my head and claimed the core as MINE. You may want to make me feel bad about that but I think nah, I'm good.
also the right side, where the bed/locker/showers are, look over the bed, if there's a hole above it, this is the version that has loot up there. There are so many versions of this base, hard to keep up with which is which.
Starting this video out with hover bike shenanigans...so hilarious. Especially because I spent a couple hours jumping lakes and rivers on Uai start like I was playing GTA hahaha.
17:02 Normal fuel pack and Large fuel pack if we consider material spent for each and compare it to how much fuel we get it is 100% same for both, only difference is the time needed for crafting which is 5:1 for production, so we have to make 5 normal packs to be equal to 1 large pack and final product value of fuel is the same. Let me explain: 1 normal "craft" consumes 10 pallets and produce 30x2 = 60 fuel total while 1 large pack require 50 pallets and produce 150x2 = 300 fuel, if we multiply the production of normal fuel packs by 5 (5 crafts) we get 5x60 = 300, which is equal to 1 large pack production as well as material used for production and fuel gained at the end, only difference is time, we have to wait 5 times longer for crafting 5 normal packs to be equal as 1 large pack craft. Now, If time is a critical factor, producing the large pack would be more advantageous since it achieves the same value with fewer production cycles. However, if time is not a constraint and there are reasons to favor smaller production batches, producing multiple normal packs might be preferred. Ultimately, the choice between the two production strategies (normal over large) depends on the specific priorities, constraints, and objectives of the situation. Basically, you sad that the large one is much more efficient and cost effective which is not true, it is only efficient but the cost is same ;) Hope it clarify the differences between normal and large fuel pack production :D I don't want to consider the fusion pack in the equation because it uses different additional resources to produce Anyway, keep up great videos and channel Spanj. Great work
it's not as much "no shield" problem as "blind as a bat" problem, doing donuts around the drone and not noticing it :) and also parking in the bad neighborhood outside :)
Yes i was like, wait a moment... :) But then i saw the crafting times. Small takes 3.5s to make 2 and you need to do 5 runs to get 10 packs to get 300PUh, that is 5x3.5s=17,5s total craft time. Large takes 10.5s to make 2 and you only need to do one run, to get to 300PUh. So the amount is the same, how ever the large one is 7s faster to craft.
Then it gets complicated figuring in the energy needed to craft because the small ones can use the small constructor, but at this point the difference is trivial.
@@TENGILL The volume on the Large packs makes them take more space per PUh in the inventory, too. I never craft the large ones unless I'm selling them in RE.
I wanted to check out your nightshade ship on the workshop and when I was looking at the ingredients that I needed it didn't require the Neodymium Ingots nor did it require the titanium rods. I had also build myself a ship that had the warpdrive and pentaxid tank and that also didn't require those materials either. I am not sure what is going on either I spawn my ship and it tells me I am 11 tons overweight and next to no thrust is being generated. I could fly the ship in creative mode fine with out any issues so I honestly don't know what is going on there. If you can't help me don't loose sleep over it (just figured I would ask you as you may have struck this problem before) I am thinking of putting it up on the forums to see what is going on (pretty sure it's a bug).
There seems to be a problem with the version on Steam I have unlisted the old and re-uploaded it, should be fine now but you will need to re-sub to the new one
"if you go into the control panel and turn thrusters off" ... at some point they made the idle thruster cost zero or negligible- check the remaining runtime after clicking the switch on devices and device classes to confirm but you can walk away from a running vehicle in idle now (this week (for this release (so far))) 8^)
Question why didn't you go investigate the underside of that base where the raptors were? Might have been some good loot down there? Sorry about your new ship being attacked so quickly good thing it wasn't too badly damaged before you noticed! By the way the older class shotgun does more damage than the auto shotgun the auto shot gun just holds more ammo but does much less damage to enemies!
Learn good copy block option ! thank :-) then yes definitly turret is worth than a shield when you park your sv someewhere it cover both functions alert and defense while you are doing stuff around :-) then shield is good too after the turret option :-)
Spanj how in the world do you hotkey your turrets been trying to figure that out now and the system is too obtuse. I saw you use cntl keys I thought in a recent video.
A Question, how to get fuel as i cant find anything on my starter planet more then wood to turn to fuel, do i need to also do the mission? Or can i skip it?
By the way the hover bike glitch works only in first verson mode when entering the vehicle. If you get on the hover bike in third person mode it will be normal. So far from what I can see...
@@Spanj Yep, not so bad and truth - you made it look positively easy (and maybe it was) but I would have run it back thru the factory also (insert loud clucking noises here).🐔
Соки в империоне это конечно хорошо , но один раз я помер от них, надо было лечиться и я напился ими, у персонажа появилась несварение и не было ничего чем это снять, ни туалета, ни пилюли, так и помер обосравшись )))
Spanj you have set your game to be fast mining and abundant mining when you started the series and now your talking about the drill being good enough to avoid a mining hover craft lol.... Well yeah you set your game to easy mode lol.....
Actually its Plenty of deposits and rich deposits, neither influence the mining speed. Enemy difficulty is medium and base attacks, drone presence set to hard. I don't see slow mining as going hard mode, just boring mode, not sorry for the pun :P XD
I highly recommend against using the factory until you have all the components needed to make your desired blueprint. I lost not 1 but 2 nearly full allotments of recourses while trying to make a higher level SV. How the lost happened was because of Co-Op. My wife and son play co-op but sometimes I play the same save solo just to build bases, improve our CV and such. Well, apparently if you load up your factory and then log off, there is a chance that your factory will just lose everything you put into it. After this happened twice, I gave up and ran the command "changemode" and spawned in my ship that I had already had enough to spawn in TWICE. I get that the game producers want to make the game look pretty and such, but for all that is good and holy, please fix the game mechanics before doing ANY more graphical updates.
Ah yes, you would be that guy. You forget that in order to USE laser drills that you have to be lvl 20 before you can even use them, not to mention the 4 Cobalt, 10 Neo, 4 Titanium rods, 36 Erestrum, 36 Zasc needed to make just 1 Laser Drill, all of which he does not have the E & Z available to him on the starter planet like everyone else starting the game. Even then if your argument would be to use the Mechanical drills until then you would still need to be lvl 7 to use those and the ship to put them on. By the time you have done all of that you could have spent the same time building a ship to get you off planet.
Actually I meant the manual laser drill sorry for the poor description :)) In Reforged Eden your mechanical starting drill is pretty terrible so the hover miner can be kind of worth it. But the vanilla starting drill is really strong for being a just an early game tool.
Oh well, after IDA told me she turned my gun to non lethal I shot Pendrell to stun him. In fact the gun was still lethal, my reputation with Polaris turned immediately to hostile. I got killed and Night shade got destroyed !! End game ! 😂
i hate the overbike with a passion it gliches in the ground and jumps up and down giving extreme motion sickness and CONSTANTLY does 180 degree instant turns. At least the bike didn't constantly get turned around
Even with the glitches. Hover Ike is 20 fold more efficient. I've probably already saved more travel time with it so far than my 1k hours previously lol
I remember the old bike spinning upside down and ditching you into the ground so you fall through the terrain, I remember it spinning around for no reason, i remember it refusing to turn left or right if you were going to fast. oooooh it was terrible, sure the Hoverbike has its quirks but its new and it will get fixed.
The code seems very similar for both the old bike and hoverbike travel. I've noticed the same behaviour, however the hoverbike is faster and smoother. More enjoyable for sure.
What is your 'brainer' obsession with the fuel? I mean, 1 ore gives 30 units, 5 ores gives you 150 units, so no difference, the main difference is weight, and you do not travel large distances on foot with lots of fuel usually. And about efficiency large constructor uses 4 times more power... so making large fuel is ?20% more efficiant, maybe:)
I have just started watching your videos and they are pretty fun, but man "beginners" for this game is crazy, 90% of what you are doing i cannot understand at all.
You guys with your fist jokes, c'mon I cant be the fist one to make that typo!
I wonder who the fist one actually was. :p
I was half expecting Laney to make a cameo with that title

always nice to see Spanj is the reason we can't have nice things...that ship wasn't even paid off...
I discovered this game from my co-worker

Cool, thanks for Mathing it out for me, really not my strong suite
Yes i was like, wait a moment... :)
But then i saw the crafting times.
Small takes 3.5s to make 2 and you need to do 5 runs to get 10 packs to get 300PUh, that is 5x3.5s=17,5s total craft time.

I use that Nightshade all the time, but I add two turrets to the top of it just for drone defense. :)
I like that SV, even though she doesn't store much, she's a monster!

For the beginners. Fist off you need a Wi-Fi in the ship to connect to the ship, just like the base as Spanj explained.
A hover miner on a starter planet* is not necessary. You might need one for more inhospitable planets later though. Love the vids! 👍
5/15 is not more efficient than 1/3, it's exactly the same. If you actually wanted efficiency, you would convert wood into small promethium packs, and save your promethium for whatever else you might need it for.

Maybe the first addition to your SV shoulda been a turret.
The first upgrade should have been remove the radar blinders button.

it's not as much "no shield" problem as "blind as a bat" problem, doing donuts around the drone and not noticing it :)
and also parking in the bad neighborhood outside :)
LOL "parking in the bad neighborhood"
Fuelpack math:
Single packs: 10 Pellets equals 2x30=60 PUh, meaning 50 Pellets equals 300 PUh;
Dual packs: 50 Pellets equals 2x150=300 PUh.
Oh no 🤭
Yes i was like, wait a moment... :)
But then i saw the crafting times.
Small takes 3.5s to make 2 and you need to do 5 runs to get 10 packs to get 300PUh, that is 5x3.5s=17,5s total craft time.
Large takes 10.5s to make 2 and you only need to do one run, to get to 300PUh.
So the amount is the same, how ever the large one is 7s faster to craft.
Then it gets complicated figuring in the energy needed to craft because the small ones can use the small constructor, but at this point the difference is trivial.
@@TENGILL The volume on the Large packs makes them take more space per PUh in the inventory, too. I never craft the large ones unless I'm selling them in RE.
That hover bike glitching in to a super high bounce or has made me hate using it.
I wanted to check out your nightshade ship on the workshop and when I was looking at the ingredients that I needed it didn't require the Neodymium Ingots nor did it require the titanium rods. I had also build myself a ship that had the warpdrive and pentaxid tank and that also didn't require those materials either. I am not sure what is going on either I spawn my ship and it tells me I am 11 tons overweight and next to no thrust is being generated. I could fly the ship in creative mode fine with out any issues so I honestly don't know what is going on there.
If you can't help me don't loose sleep over it (just figured I would ask you as you may have struck this problem before) I am thinking of putting it up on the forums to see what is going on (pretty sure it's a bug).
Are you in Vanilla, or Reforged Eden maybe?
There seems to be a problem with the version on Steam I have unlisted the old and re-uploaded it, should be fine now but you will need to re-sub to the new one
A welcome break from the Reforged Eden content.
"if you go into the control panel and turn thrusters off" ... at some point they made the idle thruster cost zero or negligible- check the remaining runtime after clicking the switch on devices and device classes to confirm but you can walk away from a running vehicle in idle now (this week (for this release (so far))) 8^)
Question why didn't you go investigate the underside of that base where the raptors were?
Might have been some good loot down there?
Sorry about your new ship being attacked so quickly good thing it wasn't too badly damaged before you noticed!
By the way the older class shotgun does more damage than the auto shotgun the auto shot gun just holds more ammo but does much less damage to enemies!
Learn good copy block option ! thank :-) then yes definitly turret is worth than a shield when you park your sv someewhere it cover both functions alert and defense while you are doing stuff around :-) then shield is good too after the turret option :-)
Drone cored my bolt in the same spot and the basement is full of Bits and bobs.
ive had the hv almost orbited also, takes ages to come down lol
The abunded Autpost :)
this is why every ship should have a turret lol
Getting jet moto vibes
And that, kids, is why we don't build ships out of plastic
Hey laserlips, your momma was a snow blower.
Spanj PUh = Power Unit per hour
There's nothing more disheartening than having a brand new ship blown up.
small 10 for 30fuel or the next one up being 50 for 150 fuel they are the same material efficiency as material times 3 equals fuel value
Not sure this is a great fix, but I noticed the jiggly with the hoverbike get fixed after dying? Idk.
Spanj how in the world do you hotkey your turrets been trying to figure that out now and the system is too obtuse. I saw you use cntl keys I thought in a recent video.
A Question, how to get fuel as i cant find anything on my starter planet more then wood to turn to fuel, do i need to also do the mission? Or can i skip it?
I made it into orbit with that clipping bug. Could not get back
Spanj's accent seems heavier this episode, my brain is exploding. or i ingested too much Oregano.
why in the seven hells are there so many critters around. I barely have any when i play.
Hey, Spanj, Don't forget to keep an eye on the Radar/Minimap! P.S. Take out the drone spawner on top or Core poi ;) if you can. 😂
By the way the hover bike glitch works only in first verson mode when entering the vehicle. If you get on the hover bike in third person mode it will be normal. So far from what I can see...
This game eats time like it's nothing.
Ya know @Spanj you are such a good builder you should do a "Pimp My Ship" series! I have a few that could use your magical touch!
at that point with so much damage i just bring in another one from the factory and take apart the original
Not too much damange, just a fuel tank, thruster and some blocks was all, easy fix
@@Spanj Yep, not so bad and truth - you made it look positively easy (and maybe it was) but I would have run it back thru the factory also (insert loud clucking noises here).🐔
Boy if Empyrion and Dual Universe had a baby...
Continuing ?
You missed the basement 😞
Ehhh, hover miner? Nah, make a hv tree cutter, but a mining SV, that'll help a lot
CTRL + W ?!?!?! HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS?!?! Ugh my poor, poor beaten up w key. SO tired and ready to retire and all this time... ugh
You clipped the Nightshade's wings! 🤨
Соки в империоне это конечно хорошо , но один раз я помер от них, надо было лечиться и я напился ими, у персонажа появилась несварение и не было ничего чем это снять, ни туалета, ни пилюли, так и помер обосравшись )))
Spanj you have set your game to be fast mining and abundant mining when you started the series and now your talking about the drill being good enough to avoid a mining hover craft lol.... Well yeah you set your game to easy mode lol.....
Actually its Plenty of deposits and rich deposits, neither influence the mining speed.
Enemy difficulty is medium and base attacks, drone presence set to hard. I don't see slow mining as going hard mode, just boring mode, not sorry for the pun :P XD
@@Spanj I stand corrected, then... Sorry I really thought one of those settings effected the speed of mining block damage...
I highly recommend against using the factory until you have all the components needed to make your desired blueprint. I lost not 1 but 2 nearly full allotments of recourses while trying to make a higher level SV.
How the lost happened was because of Co-Op. My wife and son play co-op but sometimes I play the same save solo just to build bases, improve our CV and such. Well, apparently if you load up your factory and then log off, there is a chance that your factory will just lose everything you put into it.
After this happened twice, I gave up and ran the command "changemode" and spawned in my ship that I had already had enough to spawn in TWICE.
I get that the game producers want to make the game look pretty and such, but for all that is good and holy, please fix the game mechanics before doing ANY more graphical updates.
Vanilla hover miners are super pointless. The laser drill is so fast and has great range
Ah yes, you would be that guy. You forget that in order to USE laser drills that you have to be lvl 20 before you can even use them, not to mention the 4 Cobalt, 10 Neo, 4 Titanium rods, 36 Erestrum, 36 Zasc needed to make just 1 Laser Drill, all of which he does not have the E & Z available to him on the starter planet like everyone else starting the game. Even then if your argument would be to use the Mechanical drills until then you would still need to be lvl 7 to use those and the ship to put them on. By the time you have done all of that you could have spent the same time building a ship to get you off planet.
Actually I meant the manual laser drill sorry for the poor description :)) In Reforged Eden your mechanical starting drill is pretty terrible so the hover miner can be kind of worth it. But the vanilla starting drill is really strong for being a just an early game tool.
Oh well, after IDA told me she turned my gun to non lethal I shot Pendrell to stun him. In fact the gun was still lethal, my reputation with Polaris turned immediately to hostile. I got killed and Night shade got destroyed !! End game ! 😂
i hate the overbike with a passion
it gliches in the ground and jumps up and down giving extreme motion sickness and CONSTANTLY does 180 degree instant turns.
At least the bike didn't constantly get turned around
Even with the glitches. Hover Ike is 20 fold more efficient. I've probably already saved more travel time with it so far than my 1k hours previously lol
I remember the old bike spinning upside down and ditching you into the ground so you fall through the terrain, I remember it spinning around for no reason, i remember it refusing to turn left or right if you were going to fast. oooooh it was terrible, sure the Hoverbike has its quirks but its new and it will get fixed.
@@Spanj Yes but can you jog on the hover bike? 🥰🤣🤣🤣
The code seems very similar for both the old bike and hoverbike travel. I've noticed the same behaviour, however the hoverbike is faster and smoother. More enjoyable for sure.
What is your 'brainer' obsession with the fuel? I mean, 1 ore gives 30 units, 5 ores gives you 150 units, so no difference, the main difference is weight, and you do not travel large distances on foot with lots of fuel usually. And about efficiency large constructor uses 4 times more power... so making large fuel is ?20% more efficiant, maybe:)
I want this game, but I'm scared I won't like it.
WOOT first in :D
You mean "WOOT fist in"? :p
@@Wimpoman HEHEHE I didnt want to be the fist one to make that joke ;)
I have just started watching your videos and they are pretty fun, but man "beginners" for this game is crazy, 90% of what you are doing i cannot understand at all.
-10/10 episode. Not a fist sized ship in sight. Lmao
