- How to Build Utility Ships! In this episode of Space Camp, we're going a bit more in-depth to building small ships. In a prior episode, we looked at how to build a super-basic ship. Now we're gonna see how to use the same principals to make a ship that can actually do stuff! I'm talking about miners and welders!

Suggestion for next video: Show how to charge a dead battery on a small ship, because if the battery has no power it can't power the connector to recharge itself
Oooo, good suggestion! How to jump a battery :)
Small Reactors or Solar Panels for Vanilla, although I use a Treadmill Mod that allows me to climb on a Treadmill (Open Cockpit Passenger Seat) to generate Power. It's a good use of my Engineer when I'm flying a Drone, either from my Base, or even when attached to said Drone.
Build another battery, they start with 1/4 full charge
Put all batteries in recharge only, put a small battery in discharge only, wait a couple seconds, put all on auto or discharge and you can power all the thrusters but for a very litle time, if you wait more you get linearly more time until the small battery dies
*little
I remember commenting to you about this a little while back. Thanks for doing this it truly helps.
Hitting "P" to connect can be dangerous if you've got multiple connection type blocks (landing gear, other connectors, etc).
I always use "G" when in a ship/rover, then set 'switch connection' or 'switch lock' whatever it says, for a specific connector. It'll even say on the hot bar, "ready to connect" if its ready (plus it turns from white to yellow and lines you up). Sometimes when your connector is ready to connect, your landing gear are also turning yellow and are ready to lock..so hitting P will do that to all those blocks simultaneously. This is annoying if you want to disconnect a connector but go to fly away and cant move...this is because your landing gear are now locked. You hit P to unlock landing gear the connector re-connects... (i set a 'switch lock' for landing gear groups also).
*also, a tip for newbies especially when flying in atmosphere...you can basically 'cruise' planets and moons with very little effort and conserve fuel BIG TIME by grouping all thrusters EXCEPT thrusters marked 'Backward'. Group 'Backwards' thrusters seperately (i use "Cruise thrusters"). So my number 1 in hot bar will be "Main thrusters", number 2 is "Cruise thrusters". As you're flying, keep your crosshairs below the horizon and turn OFF cruise thrusters (backwards). Your ship will gain speed and cruise without any thrusters trying to slow it down, plus no need to keep pressing 'W' to move forward. The UP and Left/Right thrusters will keep you level. Since the planets are spherical, you will continue to approach/surpass the horizon, so just keep dipping your crosshairs as you get to the horizon level. Be sure/mindful of your altitude though...going too fast and approaching a hill or cliff without the thrust power to gain altitude quick enough, you're gonna have a bad time...especially as Andrew mentions, if your ship is full of cargo/ore. ( ^_^)
oh my god
i have been struggling with this for the past week and you actually posted a tutorial on this
AAAAAA YES
It was meant to be :)
Then the next episode never came leaving viewers in a suspenseful state for more than 2 years
Did you know? That when mining if you hold left or right mouse button down and press k, when the menu opens release the mouse button when you come out of the menu the drills will be locked and you dont have to hold the mouse buttton down to mine anymore!
Ribsin32 jjust put a shortcut for the group of all your tools to toggle them on/off. No need to hold the mouse either
@@MrGollum1996 Yeah you can do that for sure but doesnt work for right click mining tho. i found it really handy when building underground bases
You just need to double click.
@@HawkswoodWilliam are you sure cause thats never worked fo rme isnt that just hand tools?
With welders, rather than slap on a bulky cockpit, I prefer to run a couple of them as drones (and another couple as grinders). You can easily squeeze them through a large block opening as long as you stay within a 5x5 profile. Bonus points if you add a patrol AI to automatically dock it to restock. The advantage is you can park yourself inside your hab and work in relative safety from a console and generally ignore any personal needs. The only downside is the inability to quickly check for missing components and having the dream-sequence filter from using a camera.
Bro. This is great. This is amazing.
Thanks for the help I love your videos ❤️❤️❤️
No problem :)
Small steel tubes and steel plates cannot go through small connections, unless its one of my mods changing that, but all ores, ingots, the gattling ammo and some components can.
Great stuff man! Stay safe and God bless!
Bring back space camp!!!
Look Mom! My namesake is being educational in Space Camp!
(which is more useful than my namesake in the Let's Play series, where I ran out of power after a few minutes)
When using the G menu to put things onto your hotbar, you don't have to drag them down. You can right-click on the item, select the action you want and it will be put in the first available space.
Could you make a tutorial on tips for making things look better?
Do a space Buster episode. What happens when you jumpdrive in to another ship
Please teach ppl the risk of using 'P' as well...
Any videos about Scripting? Such as Drones, or Inventory Management? I'd love to see a good video of how to program a Drone to Mine, or better yet; to Weld/Grind.
Use Path Auto Miner
@@vladaad
Getting a script off the Workshop doesn't teach me the C# needed to build it myself.
@@vladaad
Also I use Rdav's
@@BlueNEXUSGaming To be honest you might be able to study a workshop one. Frankenstein a new code from the things in that, test it, so on and so forth. That's the method I use for learning at least, probably doesn't apply as much to coding as it does to arts and crafts, but coding is like writing stories for the program to follow so maybe?
@@YEAHKINDA
The problem is that I need to know what I'm doing and how to fix the problem, but to know that I need to know what tools I have access to via the API, but to understand that I need to know how flexible the Code is, and how to setup the Var, Val, Int, Double, Signed, Unsigned, etc.
I can learn how to build the Script *if* I know C# but the problem is that there's no solid tutorials for C# because it is an absolute mess to learn.
I've seen it drive people to give up learning Programming entirely, still not sure if they ever looked into Java, JavaScript, or AutoIt3 after I told em it was infinitely easier to learn.
C# is just *THAT* hard to learn.
Welders, Grinders, and Drills.
Can I just strap all three on one ship? Or use projector swapping?
The new pcu limit on servers is going to be a pain.
Yeah you could throw em all on the same ship if you want. I typically like to have specialized ships but if you want just one mega jack of all trades ship, you can do that.
@@AndrewmanGaming
I saw something that uses rotors to swap between the tools, I was wondering if you'd do a tutorial on those.
If anything major has changed them.
@@nullpoint3346 Actually yeah, the rotors are the next tutorial coming up!
So new to everything this game has to offer. When you hooked the utility ship up to you your base is it possible to instead hook a utility ship up to another ship instead?
For miners its always good to have thrusters facing up, because when you dig down if you tip too far without them you will be stuck.
That's a good point. I really need to get into the habit of doing that otherwise I'll be in trouble when mining in space!
@@AndrewmanGaming not just in space, also when using atmo and you tilt over too much, the ship can fall on it's top and almost game over for that...
you can always attach pistons/ rotors and hope they turn your ship the right way when they blow up... ;D
Literally happened to me on my very first atmospheric miner, I didn't have the resources to make enough thrust and got stuck in a hole
He there, in reference to your welding ship. I have a large construction project and I would like to have the materials I need moved through the conveyer system into my ship through a connector. For some reason it won’t let me move the materials. I am using all large conveyers, all green. Any ideas?
Make sure each conveyor's connection port matches up - small conveyors can only work on small conveyor ports, you can't mix and match. Also, there might be a sorter blocking the path. Possibly.
how is it that ur shipp isnt falling without playing with the thrusters to stay afloat
I would like to see a small atmospheric troop transport ship and the designs that can help keep the passengers safe from enemies during flight
btw when right click mining, hold right click press I release the right click and then press I again and the drills stay running
Oh yeah, a little trick! I did something like that when I dug the hole to the center of the Earth.
this works for all your tools too. Welding, Grinding, Drilling, whether right or left clicking...just 'double click'. It'll just keep going. Then to stop, you left/right click again once.
The miner drill keeps falling apart because it gets too heavy! Is there a newer way to make a better mining drill?
Is this still a good tutorial almost 1 year later? I'm new to the game and I'm trying to learn about the ships, is this still updated?
Yeah pretty much, not much as changed
Do you have an info on weight/force ratio for different thrusters (type/size)? That way its easier to design any ship without constant trial and error.
Honestly I'm pretty sure there's a file on this already online. Easy to look up the mass force ratio.
could you please make a tutorial on how to find plantinum? ive reached the moon with my base ship but ive spent like 3 hours in jetpack going from asdroid to asdroid just to find platinium without any luck and ive given up on a hydrogen ship for mining it and searching for it as the last 10 ones crashed -.-
Platinum is definitely available on the moon. The small grid ore detector only has a 50m range and most Platinum deposits are deeper than that. I'd recommend a large grid detector or using modified ore detectors from the workshop that provide a vastly higher range.
Everybody gangsta till the boot fixes ya ship
Can you connect a small connection port (like the one in the standar cockpit) to a large port (like the one beneath the same cockpit)?
not directly
there are some blocks that provide both connector types, like the conveyor or medium/large container or o2/h2 generator or oxygen tank ...
How you do welder in drawing with wheels
Just a heads up for people don’t use p for connectors because p is also your handbrake
fighter ship video eta?
Every 6 small thrusters you use is inefficient and a waste of power and thrust. 6:1 ratio, small to large. You’ll still need batteries and a couple small reactors (assuming you have refined uranium, and that can only be found on asteroids now) will save you headaches of running out of power. Lastly, keep in mind the thrust end of a thruster can damage blocks (unless disabled) like 4 out from a small and 6 from a large.
how do you attach Small Blocks t o a Large Grid?
Rotor
hey does anyone know how to use blueprints of the workshop because Andrew has mad a miner that's would be better than anything i build XD
Projectors
And anyone can build a miner that’s not as shit as his
@@vladaad Rip miner :/ Anyway, yea. To build a workshop blueprint in your survival world, you'll need a projector. Go into the projector and click on the blueprints button. Select the blueprint you wish to build, click ok, and start welding!
Note: You'll need to maneuver your projected blueprint so that one of the blocks on the ship is touching one of the blocks on the projector's grid. In other words, you cannot weld blocks that would not be touching anything.
Instructions unclear: Built a hangar instead
Like to see a how to use creative mode. Copy, Paste, how to use symmetry. How to bring ships in. Any god mode to be able to travel through objects. Pretty much all commands. Thanks
Copy paste is just Ctrl+C to copy and Ctrl+V to paste. Ctrl+X to delete object and store it in clipboard. Symmetry is done by pressing M. Then you left click the symmetry plane where you want. Think of the symmetry plane as a mirror. Press N after you place a plane to activate it.
Thanks. is there a godmode where you can fly through objects.
My only problem with the instructions that you did is you did not give the miner any way to recharge itself and you didn't give it any way to detect ore you kind of skipped a lot of crucial information just trying to get out of basic minor which I can understand that a lot of people don't think about ore detectors or the fact that you need to recharge the batteries but you're kind of do need to recharge them eventually
Sick 3rd
just build this, it wont go backwards :-/ i have the 3 thrusters in place
The three thrusters are facing forward as well? Also make sure you are using the correct type of thruster. Atmospheric for planets, ion for space. Also make sure your ship has power.
You forgot the grinder
WE WANT BATTLE ROYALE STREAMS !
*cough* *cough* thx for the vid tho I kinda suck at se
Ok! Maybe one this weekend. I've been sick the past week :/ But I'm getting better!
Good to hear ! If you're really sick you don't have to make vids for us, we all understand :)
ARE YOU MINI ........ WHO STREAMS ELITE DANGEROUS ??????
for the love of god, do not use P for connectors, bind that thing to your hotbar keys, pressing P on a large ship will disconnect every thing you have to connectors... and god help the ship that's on the outside and you're on the move.
Who ever sees this remember these words: fear. The. P.
Don't tell me how... It's all j can make
You gave up on this?
Yeah I kind of fell off from doing this series. It was a fun one for sure and one I think about bringing back every once in awhile.
@@AndrewmanGaming I did enjoy the creativity
And tips
"What is a miner" well obviosly someone unger than 18 duhh
Noooo please don’t use p
Im kinda disspointed because i was hopping for freighter tutorial.
