Jesus, 10 minutes into the recording and I almost had a heart attack. Only caught the last few minutes of the stream and decided to start watching the recording, while slowly dozing off (it's 3am over here). Well, I'm wide awake now... ^^ Capac probably would have even pulled off the landing, had it not been for that ghastly tree.
@@Splitsie he got further down the mountain then I honestly thought he would before dedtroying the truck tbh but it wouldn't be fun if capac couldn't do capac things lol
I caught up on your new scrapyard series, and am alternating between assertive acquisitions, your solo astroneers venus game, and now this, singlehandedly you are keeping my interest in space related construciton/building/voxel games alive, thank you!
This unedited content is the absolute best, and I don't know why I didn't see it before. I was so hung up on the length of the VODs. I've been watching W4sted, Splitsie, Capac, and Tex content for years, so anytime you four get together is a real treat for me. Well done!
5:30 He's letting Capac drive. Nothing bad ever happens to any vehicle Capac drives. 8:20 "That was driving?" Honestly, that's the best driving Capac has ever done. The vehicle is still in one piece and not flipped upside down. 9:55 Letting Capac drive again. Errors just get better the more you repeat them. 10:30 Well, that truck was fun while it lasted. 10:40 Trees, their true nemesis. 16:10 The truck is wrong way up again. 16:40 I guess they'll be pushing this truck all the way to the other planet. 29:00 Those solar panels look like almost the ugliest car spoiler I've ever seen. It's in the top five, at least. 30:00 "You were trying to cross the border, weren't you?" 47:35 It's almost scary how much sense Capac can make when not trying to make sense. 1:47:20 That wheel just couldn't wait any longer, it wanted to run over trees now, not later.
I remember when I had my first fight with drones on my survival world. I made this massive rover with my mate, and we already had 4 turrets so they were very effective against vanilla drones, however what I did not anticipate is a small piece of the drone sliding along the ground at 1000kph and hitting your character XD.
Ohh yes! I've been looking forward to watching this! Unfortunately I wasn't able to catch you guys on stream due to me sleeping off a stomach flu but I'm glad TH-cam uploads these streams afterward so i can catch them later.
Splitsie, One thing I learnt to make it easier. When your trying to attach a large rotor head to a small rotor, have build vision open and the attach rotor head highlighted before you drop the new head. Doing this allowed me to create a small grid trailer for a large grid detector but actually have the detector mounted horizontally to keep it lower (I had to slightly increase the control range of build vision to allow me to get into a position where it was dropping correctly) So now you dont have to actually have the part balance after it lands and your grapping it mid motion
3:22:00 I have to agree there... I've had times where I'm using like fifty different "encounter" mods and I can pretty much build a city and not get attacked as long as I have no turrets, even though I have the infrastructure to set up fifty turrets and supply them with ammo in minutes. Then there was this time I built a pillar with three turbines, a refinery, an assembler and a turret, and the game suddenly went "A turret? How dare you, now I will have to send every drone, drop pod and pirate ship in the universe your way."
That sort of thing very much depends on the encounter mod. I always balanced my ACS mods off 'if you can build a cockroach, then I can hit you as hard as I like' levels of balance :P
*has somewhat decent accuracy with pistol. switches to rifle. misses every shot.* I love it lol. Rewatching this after a year and it's almost better the second time
@@Splitsie it's funny I love you all as content creators when everybody streams at the same time it's kind of hard to pick and choose who to watch so I just end up binging everybody's content however long it takes me LOL
Not even 4 minuets in and W4sted dies; not surprising Not even 11 minutes in and Capac goes off a ramp with the car; again not surprising Also don't forget the disassemble function for getting rid of those extra guns and basic tools
There needs to be a series where the only one that can drive is Capac, but he's not allowed to build anything. What he drives has to be what somebody else built for him and they have to make sure he doesn't destroy it.
I wish people would do a deep space playthrough where there is no planet very little asteroids set very far between and only give a small mining craft with the bare minimum. Co-op playthrough with mods that make it even harder like the food mod and some mods that can make it more fun like.
Hi! I wanted to share my thoughts on why i think the piston issue happened, and give feedback on ways to decrease your likelihood of encountering similar episodes in the future. for reference: I have about 2100 hours in SE, mostly in creative mode playing around with merging, changing and moving grids around. (I love sub-grids, piston, rotors and hinges) First off. It is highly recommended to NEVER merge the main grid with the "first" sub-grid! I believe this is the main cause of your issue. Example. Main grid piston -> Merge block The Merge block is on your "first" sub-grid. merging this back into the main grid is highly unstable/unsafe and will in all likelihood cause issues. (clang or otherwise) Simplest solution: Main grid piston -> Rotor/Hinge/Piston -> Merge block Adding a rotor, hinge or second piston, making the merge block a "secondary" sub-grid is safe(er) and far superior. This will significantly reduce the risk of clang and buggy behavior when merging back to the main grid. (offsets are still important to avoid phantom forces, but they will also be reduced by doing this.) However, instead of a merge block on piston on one or more sub-grids i would highly recommend a different approach when moving grids to make your life a lot less "scary" in regards to clang. By keeping the merge blocks on the grids, not pistons. And using mag plates/landing gears on pistons will introduce far less phantom forces and clangy behavior if done correctly. is in my experience far safer and in my opinion superior. In this example i will use "main grid" and "assembler grid" to avoid confusion At any point during the process before step 5. place a merge block on both the main grid and your intended assembler grid. In your case: as the intention was to raise the assembler grid 1 block, the merge block on main grid should be placed 1 block above the one on the assembler grid. both vertical and horizontal placement of merge blocks works in this setup. 1. On the main grid, place a Piston with a mag plate or landing gear on top (turn off auto lock) 2. From the assembler unit. build out blocks above the pistons for a lock point 3. Raise the piston until the mag plate/landing gear turns yellow, stop the piston and lock the mag plate/landing gear. (or turn on auto lock) 4. Separate the two grids. 5. extend the piston until the merge blocks placed prior align and turn green, stop the piston as soon as it changes state to avoid clang. (in this setup it really doesn't matter if merge blocks are on or off at any point.) (share inertia tensor is recommended but not required.) with this setup you can move/resize grids with increasingly bigger size and complexity by adding more pistons with landing gear/mag plates. but still only using 1 merge block on each grid part. introducing little to no phantom forces or clang.
Yeah I think the single grid thing confuses SE, though it's not consistent in how it gets confused as sometimes it's just fine with it but yeah an additional subgrid does prevent that weirdness :P
@@Splitsie indeed, with merging on the first sub-grid there's also a difference if the main grid is seen as a station or a ship, and if the merging is vertical vs horizontal, (as in you place the merge block on top of instead of to the side of). There's also the whole if you un-merge and try to merge it back again to the main grid, there would be a risk of it not re attaching to the main grid with only 1 sub-grid, so you would maybe need to turn off the merge blocks on the piston head and hope the two grids would merge before falling to their destruction
@@Splitsie like mentioned, Landing gears on the piston and merge blocks pre placed to where you want the grids to go has had me covered in most my cases at scales far beyond what one would expect to go smooth. But... I've never tried it on a server. And i know there have been cases in past patches where during separation the landing gear mysteriously unlocks itself. 😂 There is a third option, that involves a piston, rotor/hinge on the main grid and the rotor head/hinge part on the secondary grid. Then you attach prior to separation. But in all honesty, unless your really good at offsets and distances this will with high likelihood cause explosions and extreme phantom forces.
ohh man I just enjoy your content so much! Great mood, spirit, even jokes! :D The banter is at a point it doesn't feel like it's hurting anyone. Just good entertainment! :-)
And the boss has ten times more health. And a rocket launcher mounted in their shoulder. And they can wallclip. And so can the rockets. ... And all the player has is a .22 pistol.
I love how Steve is like the Godfather in that when he boards their new rover, everyone goes over to pay their respects. And I'd love to have a Steve on my adventures! Rock buddies for everyone!
1:54:49 This happens when you try to attach the base and the top of a piston to the same grid. The head was attached with the merge blocks, and the game decides in this case to "detach" some other part. (I usually get the piston head detached.) Pistons, rotors and hinges are two separate grids at the same time, and the game doesn't allow for the two grids to actually be the same. The solution is to get a second "grid change interface" between the merge block or the piston base: another piston or a rotor. So you have a grid A, grid B and grid C, but you attach C to A with merge blocks, getting A-B-A grids.
Can you belive as you guys just left after mining i went away from the stream for a sec and came back to a upturned truck HA HA🤣🤣 The unpredictable Capa
I think it would be interesting to see something like the wrong way down crossed with scrap yard. Same goal, Point A to Point B, but no refineries, assemblers, and single directional thrust only. See what kind of monstrosity you and a couple of friends could piece together to get to the end.
Hadn't watched Wrong Way Down (I don't usually watch streams at all), decided to give this a go, now I need to watch WWD too... Also good to see the UK represented with Wasted! I saw you in chat Kanajashi!
Wrong Way Down is hilarious and if you want to learn about space engineers and wheels it's got a lot of great content. Wasted is an absolute gold mine of info for building wheeled vehicles with weird and wonderful capabilities.
@@riotintheair I'm definitely going to give it a go, from what I have watched of this stream so far it's been hilarious. I'm always looking to up my game in space engineers so I'm looking forward to some good stuff.
@@Splitsie with how quickly U guys are running through hydro I don’t think it will be issue and will make a good show flying back only to run out and splat on the side of the rover. you are right though it speeds things up and keeps the over all pace of combat and suspense up.
Idea for you player enemy attack timing. 15 minute time with a coin toss plus or minus random number generator modifier. So a 1-10 rng spits out 3. Coin toss heads minus, tails plus comes out heads. That's 15-3 for a 12 minute count until the next attack from that player. It gives you a range from 5 minutes to 25 minutes between that player opposition turning up. Of course if your player opposition is two teams then there are more frequent albeit from separate factions.
2:07:00 Right as the truck exploded, I saw a giant ice boulder just rolling downhill. Something that contained ice got destroyed, and from there, it just chain reacted.
Boulders don't do any damage though, they got rid of that a long time ago. They can push things into other stuff though so it may have contributed that way I guess
Something I learned while playing on the survival impossible server when they tried to have some NPCs (this was a while ago so not sure if still true, but likely): The data for NPCs is never cleared from the save, even after they die. So over time the world just collects more and more garbage data, eventually causing problems with performance. There is (or was) no workaround or mod to fix this.
I have 14,852 Hours on space engineers total. This includes steam and Keen itself non-steam client. While I am excellent with engineering stuff for functionality, and figuring out solutions for literally any problem, even after all those hours I am just now getting to where I can make stuff look decent so do not feel bad.
@@Splitsie For years and years everything I designed looked like a utilitarian brick. No matter what I did, it always ended up looking like a brick. lol
Yup, there's good reason to keep those ones private. The other private ones are mods I don't want to provide support for as they're just made for this and when they inevitably break after the series is done I want to happily forget about them :)
For the record, if we are looking at the searing arrangement. W4ted is the dragonborn. Can we get a 'close enough' experience with the mods in the description? God I've missed this series.
need a Smaller Gunner Truck to get between you and Main Base Rig instead of Gunning it now. because it can still get hit if they're in range of the Small turrets. I think I would put Hinges on the Top the Wheel Arms on outside, that Flip up to add the Wind Turbines to, that when Down Runs across top of the Arms.
OK I say we disable Splitsie's jetpack he is using it way to much and wasting so much fuel. I mean he was siting there using the cargo box and was in mid air less then a foot up just hanging there on dampener. Were is the High G planet when you need it.
So you found trouble and found problems but you couldn't find a jalopy engine? It's all well and good blaming Capac but I've watched you build before so are we certain you just didn't forget to put one in? ;)
Should have built trenches for cover. Would dropping half armor blocks on the ground as cover be against the rules since technically they are mobile grids?
"It may not absolve me but it definitely implicates him" needs to go on a t-shirt

Adding capac to a game is like activating the hardmode in a bossfight. ;)
And the boss has ten times more health. And a rocket launcher mounted in their shoulder. And they can wallclip. And so can the rockets.
... And all the player has is a .22 pistol.
Capac is the unintended second boss

lol You're so right, but to be fair he does have quite the stylish walk :D
1:54:49 This happens when you try to attach the base and the top of a piston to the same grid. The head was attached with the merge blocks, and the game decides in this case to "detach" some other part. (I usually get the piston head detached.)

The solution is to get a second "grid change interface" between the merge block or the piston base: another piston or a rotor. So you have a grid A, grid B and grid C, but you attach C to A with merge blocks, getting A-B-A grids.
I usually watch with subtitles and it amazes me that in all this time the ai keeps coming up with new ways to guess Capac
Carpack, Cow pack, Cat pack and many more to come :D

The unpredictable Capa
You could have put a merge block on the refinery and moved it and then use a merge block to attach it
Watching this series again. Best series I have ever seen. :)
Thank you :)
I think as soon as I heard spitsie ask how everyone's doing, and Capac answer "yes", i know exactly how this was going to go.
Ant it took a total of 10 minutes to meet that expectation
Yep, Capac made his mark at the first opportunity :D
Trust capac to brake *the only engine* in your vehicle xD
He knows just how to cause the most ridiculous damage :D
10 minutes in and capac says hold my beer. This is going to be GREAT.
Set to big iron beat "And there you still can see him, running across the plain... with a rouge wheel in his sights"
Can't wait to see how the planets are near each other. With a gap or the voxels meshing into one another.
I think it would be interesting to see something like the wrong way down crossed with scrap yard. Same goal, Point A to Point B, but no refineries, assemblers, and single directional thrust only. See what kind of monstrosity you and a couple of friends could piece together to get to the end.

If we go by seating arrangement, Capac was the dragonborn...
Lol so the first rule is no jet packs in combat….. second fight splitsie runs away with his jet pack 😂
I was torn with that one, on the one hand it let me escape, on the other hand it meant you guys didn't have to wait for me to run all the way home :P
@@Splitsie with how quickly U guys are running through hydro I don’t think it will be issue and will make a good show flying back only to run out and splat on the side of the rover. you are right though it speeds things up and keeps the over all pace of combat and suspense up.
Well at least flipsie can do a newbie mistake, putting the assembler round the wrong way is usually my trick.
been driving during the stream. So catching it up right now. 30 minutes in and this gonna be great. HAHAHAHA
Glad you're enjoying it :)

Master chief saying "You're safe now"
Engineers having fun make stupid things, you guys are definitely engineers.
Idea for you player enemy attack timing. 15 minute time with a coin toss plus or minus random number generator modifier.
So a 1-10 rng spits out 3. Coin toss heads minus, tails plus comes out heads.
That's 15-3 for a 12 minute count until the next attack from that player.
It gives you a range from 5 minutes to 25 minutes between that player opposition turning up. Of course if your player opposition is two teams then there are more frequent albeit from separate factions.
2:07:00 Right as the truck exploded, I saw a giant ice boulder just rolling downhill. Something that contained ice got destroyed, and from there, it just chain reacted.
Boulders don't do any damage though, they got rid of that a long time ago. They can push things into other stuff though so it may have contributed that way I guess
This video explains why everyone shouldn’t just play solo. This game is so fun but being part of a team is a different level.
Something I learned while playing on the survival impossible server when they tried to have some NPCs (this was a while ago so not sure if still true, but likely): The data for NPCs is never cleared from the save, even after they die. So over time the world just collects more and more garbage data, eventually causing problems with performance. There is (or was) no workaround or mod to fix this.
have you considered running into combat with the materials to build those cover dealios and build them while fighting so you can have cover and shoot?
¨It was your mission¨ hahah XD
Great start! Sadly, it took me 4 days to watch, but I watched it all.
engine start no problem bibimb bibim engine caput-Capac
I have 14,852 Hours on space engineers total. This includes steam and Keen itself non-steam client.
While I am excellent with engineering stuff for functionality, and figuring out solutions for literally any problem, even after all those hours I am just now getting to where I can make stuff look decent so do not feel bad.
It's funny, some days it all just clicks, then others it looks like I vomited blocks together, like a dog that got into a box of lego :P
@@Splitsie For years and years everything I designed looked like a utilitarian brick. No matter what I did, it always ended up looking like a brick. lol
watching trhis and later the W4sted testing chaos ... this will be interesting to watch :)
What SE mods might one want to keep private?
Is there like an underground black market of SE mods or something?
I'm wondering this too...maybe things that are still in the pipeline and this is part do the playtest?
Their individual faces are private mods.
Yup, there's good reason to keep those ones private.
The other private ones are mods I don't want to provide support for as they're just made for this and when they inevitably break after the series is done I want to happily forget about them :)
@@BallChainGaming Wait you can get your own face on your engineer in game? That's kinda cool.
@@sciencegremlin8307 thanks to Chipstix, SE wizard, yes
I wish y'all had the driving assist computer on that truck
Then again there wouldn't be as much chaos
For the record, if we are looking at the searing arrangement. W4ted is the dragonborn.
Can we get a 'close enough' experience with the mods in the description?
God I've missed this series.
Yep, you should get a close enough experience with those :)
But the important question here is... Who is the silly elf thief who gets shot in the back for trying to run away?
Capac looks like a jump and a truck all right here we go splitsy CAPAC!!!!!! NO everyone else in the back of the truck this is fine
you all need to divide labor.
1. power
2. mining
3. processing/parts
this way you are not duplicating efforts several times over.
Capac: the story's conflict
Final someone with teh right color. You go De!
Yessssss. The purple... 💜
Pfft Grey is the way :P
@@Splitsie Yesssss I agree Grey or Black
@@Splitsie you mean Gray is the way :P
I know it tends to get used by a certain... imposter captain... but I've always liked the black and red combination
Stoked for this series.
need a Smaller Gunner Truck to get between you and Main Base Rig instead of Gunning it now. because it can still get hit if they're in range of the Small turrets. I think I would put Hinges on the Top the Wheel Arms on outside, that Flip up to add the Wind Turbines to, that when Down Runs across top of the Arms.
It's s great experience seeing the group!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
OK I say we disable Splitsie's jetpack he is using it way to much and wasting so much fuel. I mean he was siting there using the cargo box and was in mid air less then a foot up just hanging there on dampener. Were is the High G planet when you need it.
*lifts bonnet of truck* well theres ya problem... :)
So you found trouble and found problems but you couldn't find a jalopy engine? It's all well and good blaming Capac but I've watched you build before so are we certain you just didn't forget to put one in? ;)
Should have built trenches for cover.
Would dropping half armor blocks on the ground as cover be against the rules since technically they are mobile grids?
i need to play more of space engineers
A frictionless center row of wheels preventing bottom out should be good enough for this use
The terrain generation in this game is certainly very... unique. And lumpy. Needs more smoothing in the algorithm, honestly.
It is indeed, but for a challenge like this it adds a certain something :D
Large Grid rover is turning out very gurren lagann imo
Here's to hoping they go full on Night Rider / James Bond hybrid with gatling guns on the jalopy.
2hr57min in Splitsie finally picks up a hydro tank..
