Don't think anyone's mentioned it yet, but for when the rocket is built and you want to use it. May I suggest a "pre-flight" check list? "Do I have food and water? Do my engines work. Are the batteries charged. Are guns loaded. Is there canvas in the parachutes. is there enough o2 for the trip." Just some suggestions.
@@UfoLBeerSeeker When in doubt, a lcd right in front of the cockpit, so the whole rocket is not flyable without noticing, reading and grinding the warning first. But damn, that module is adorable!

For the atmospheric booster beacons, you could have a few timer blocks to pulse the beacon like the pirate distress signals to keep them from using up too much power.
That stage escalated quickly. It went from [This is only for desperation piloting, it's just a 'point and shoot' escape], to a gorgeous armed runabout capable destroying a small outpost in only 30 minutes. Nice. I can't wait for stage two. =) Steve will make a good test pilot, the guy is like a rock. No way he panics under pressure, he's as solid as they come.
I don't mind having wall parts painted in "new", if it looks like its a whole module that was added later into the old core. And thank you for trying my Idea with the sensors turning the vents just on/off.
It's a good idea. You could also expand it by adding the vent and any lights (or other functional blocks) to a group and (de)power the whole lot when (not) present.
Your videos have been indispensable in letting myself and my friends know where to begin in this game. Great job helping people get into this criminally underrated game!
That little craft looks pretty good, especially from the back for some reason. OK, this might not be a very practical idea but hear me out. That craft is the head module for Ultra Splitsietron! The main hydrogen stage is the torso and legs. The atmospheric stage is the jet pack. If you want to really over-design it, the arms could be detachable fighter craft/drones.
I love this series! My favorite line this episode was "I can just leave the waste in my desk." That just struck me funny. I'll eat and leave the waste in my desk. LOL! The ship design is AMAZING. This is exactly the kind of thing I need to do in my SI play through.

Glad you've decided to put my idea into life. However I'd strongly suggest that you keep some emergency o2 in office regardless. In case of damage to conveyors or power shortage you will be cut off from your storage (both can happen during attack, crash or construction works). Also remember to put bottles in seats of your vehicles and "emergency everything" in obscunder. Given that you can run out of everything all at once, even with updated warning mod, probably every block with inventory should have vital survival supplies. Im serious - survival paranoia. How about some LCD on the side of your new ship with your fancy astronaut-helmet logo or name of your space programme? (Split-X? Splice-X?) Or another "registration plate" on the back, once you come up with a name? ("Icarus" maybe? Gonna go high, and with little wings not gonna fly well on way back. Also your first attempt on crewed flight, so i think name is fitting. Or, just stick with Zero - both stage and minimalistic utility would fit that simple name, and you could still pretend it's after WW2 fighterplane - that white-red tips are kind of right color for that already) And i support Demortis1 idea of LCD preflight checklist - just try and see if you can put such reminder on one of in-cockpit LCDs too - you would surely not miss that one :) Since you are starting your own space programme now, you REALLY NEED a flagpole! (I guess large LCD on an elevated rotor) Otherwise you risk Kraken bring bad luck on your journey. I'm not quite happy about that vibrant color you chose. I'd really tone it down, and save Hi-Vis tones for important things you want to stand out, not flush relatively large chunks of interior with it. Maybe it's as you say, because of lack of other things to blend with. But it stands out far to much to my tastes. But tastes are tastes - everybody have different anyways. Also as an idea, you could use frost material on some conveyors to imitate coolant flowing. Hopefully i'm not bothering you too much with another inflated list of ideas. Cheers.
You make a good point about damage/power shortages, if nothing else I should be putting food and water in that container instead of into the cargo system :) I'll think about the colour stuff, but after my experience in Survival Maybe, I found that the bright colours tend to become more acceptable with time so maybe that'll happen here too :P

Build a small ladder from a set of stairs you can manually move around the garage. If you use a small wheel you can set the friction making it easier to control. Then you can move it around projects and store it against wall when not in use.
Watching this three years later on a binger and last episode, right at the end...."I need a rocket. No wait, I need a solar tower so that I have more power to charge everything so I can get the resources to build the rocket!." First five minutes of this "we are building a rocket!!" Love Splitsie!
Thank you SOOOO much Splitsie! I’ve been trying to get a tracking thing using sensors to work for a few weeks now, and watching how you set your sensors up helped me finally get it working. It’s been sooo frustrating.Thank you again!!!!
I am to far behind to watch this now, but I have to give you props Splitsie. That is one intriguing thumbnail. It really makes me want to watch, I just have some previous episodes to finish first. 😀
It's the kitchen of siege defence! Pour some boiling soup on engineers trying to come in. Also boiling water for those who try to look closely at the railings behind the sofa
And yet again you taught me something. 25:40 I had just assumed that the locking area of the merge block was not a mount point for anything other than another merge block so I never tried it. Just my opinion but I do think that interior walls, ones not exposed to the elements such as wind and sun should be fine being depicted as not rusted. On another topic; I now have the Frostbite skin. I was wondering if you can combine the worn/rusted paint skin and the frosted skin on one block. I tried in the Frostbite scenario briefly when adding a medium cargo and extra axle to the drop rover but then haven't tried again. The sensor control for the air vent is a great idea. It caught my attention in the Frostbite scenario for controlling turning the large med kit on/off at the hanger where you get the armored rover. PS: I hadn't noticed if you put an ore detector on the ship; just saying.
I always look forward to both of the 'Survival' series. :) I'm diggin' what you're doing with the rocket so far. Hope the grids splitting up with the merge blocks doesn't cause any issues in their automated systems! Also... Do you have the batteries mod on? You could possibly make some of the long batteries? But more in the wings like. It'll add some weight, but might be worth it in the end. Also, remember, you have a mostly charged battery just sitting outside still.
Thanks, I'm quite pleased with the shape of the ship :) No batteries mod, I like to stick to vanilla for a lot of those things as many of the modded batteries are overpowered compared to vanilla so you'd never use the vanilla ones :/
@@Splitsie I know the Azumuth ones are really powerful, but construct empty. But, I'm meaning more just a mod that gives you various shapes, without too much additional power. Wish I had a recommendation. Either way tho.. happy to see more! :)
The aesthetic that you created is interesting. It give me the impression that the factory and garage are something the character found and has partially renovated with a new conveyor system and a few other fittings but is mostly this partially-resurrected old mining prospecting facility.
37:45 you have little cargo boxes right there for emergency supplies, you can put some food and water in there instead of the cargo container also you forgot upwards thrust
@dajosh42069 no he's right at 28:02 you can see the wireframe of a thruster right behind the cockpit pointing down, though it wasn't placed or welded on screen so I missed it the first time.
14:11 about what to put into that freight 1. Food and water (because why not) 2. At least 1 oxygen bottle (if base runs out of power you wouldn't be able to access your conveyors) 3. A Power kit or some explosives (in case you and your base runs out of power at the same time. Explosives might come handy for blasting your way out when you don't have any power kits) 4. Maybe a data pad to make notes in game. (Because it fells cooler than pen and paper, and more enviromentally friendly)
I love that at the end of the last episode you were talking about building a solar array to help with all the things needing charged and then this week you instead add three more batteries that need charged haha. Seems about right! XD Crew module looks cool though man! The thing about drones not spawning in asteroids and stuff is true and super annoying. The last personal run I started I had decided I wanted to force myself in to using nothing but drone vehicles to make it more challenging. Sadly, after building a drone capable of leaving the planet I spent about an hour trying to find asteroids with no luck. Spectated and transported up to the drone to test if it was because of remote and the second I TP'd half a dozen asteroids appeared... I hope they change that at some point.
You could put only atmospheric lifting thrusters on the module to save weight. Then you can helicopter fly it back to base instead of having a long walk. It's the method I use to move my landing pod on a survival start.
i use a timer pair, to turn off and on the airvents, on for 3 seconds, off for 30secs to 1 minute, of course that does mean you or a friend needs to not vent the entire room by accident haha. i also use this for early game/compact vehicles with not enough resources or space to place an o2 tank.
10:46 so much yes ! :) To be honest, this whole rusty texture everywhere was really starting to make your buildings look awful. Although, on the outside it kind of works, too bad it also shows on the inside indeed. 32:16 in this case if it's for style, why not put two retro thrusters on each side and one vent in the middle ? Would be more useful that way too :)
@@Splitsie that's true but I'm a little bit more concerned about how are you going to attach it are you going to do use your rotor piston trick to actually Mount the whole thing together that's my question.
Finally, a new episode, i was getting bored till i saw this nodification, thx for the video :D Also, Splitsie, if you want, you should call the rocket spaceie.
You could make the wings into 'radiators', still just decorative from a gameplay point of view, but a real spacecraft, even such a small one lacking a reactor, needs radiators to maintain a reasonable temperature internally.
Very nice. Kinda reminds me of the Smuggler's Ship from Ratchet and Clank. Got that sorta Space Van vibe going on. Also weirdly The Widowmaker from MST3K, despite looking nothing like it.
I guess I could but I always feel like solar panels are more weight than benefit when it comes to things that fly, however I am contemplating using them on the booster stage to allow the beacons to remain active long term :)
The idea I have for the wings if you're interested is to have them come out four or five blocks out. Then have them go straight down another four or five blocks. At the bottom of the Wings put a landing gear. The wings would hug the outside of the second stage of the rocket
You could go a step further by adding timing blocks to the air system. Only turn the vent on for so long when you enter. You don't use much while inside, you don't lose much by going outside, so you can replenish it each time you enter for (i.e.) 10 seconds.
For the air vent system, you can add action to the air vent to turn it self off when the room is 100% pressurized. You can add a timer to turn on the air vent every 10 minutes, and your sensor can be used to turn the timer on and off. In this way, when you are inside your air vent will only be on for a few seconds every 10 minutes instead of constantly using power, and when you are outside it will still be always off.
That's an interesting solution, it could be used in concert with the sensor setups as well. The other thing I need to hook up to the sensors are the lights, so that the internal lights are only on while I'm in the room, I'm interested to see if such a thing would show up on any time lapse as I move about the base too - if so it'd possibly look quite cool :)
An idea for the booster's return. Rabenschild on his streams 2+3 weeks ago they did a multistage rocket launch and used PAM for the booster's return to the launch pad to avoid the hassle of dragging it back to base. The older stream covered the setup of PAM and the recent one showed launch and return of booster. Just an idea to save effort and resources for you. Keep up the great work!
That's a pretty cool concept, I think I might go simple-ish for the first launch (mostly so I have an excuse to use the crane) and later could do that as an upgrade to make relaunch faster :)
Sadly the wings are too short for decoys to do much of anything, given the inaccuracy of weapons in SE the spread of damage would be wide enough that they'd be unlikely to protect anything, however I am planning on having some in the main stage to draw fire away from the command module entirely :)
@@Splitsie Oh, I was thinking more for aesthetic reasons. Like the wingtip fuel pods on old fighters. But, with the added benefit of taking a few shots instead of your battery while you're running away! Just a suggestion, loving this series!
Another really cool, yet adorable little first mission space ship. And a chance to let somebody else find out, how much use the small tanks are for ships ;)
The rust pattern looks very repetitive on the orange conveyors. It wasn't a problem before, but now it's noticeable. Catwalks and railings could be a darker color.
Again, excited internal screaming when I saw you uploaded another video. You sir, make some awesome content. When looking at the crew module, I thought of the fish that sucks on bigger fish to save energy. Looked it up, they’re called ‘Remora’. Pretty cool name right? #namesuggestion
Oh splitsie could I suggest trying the weathered look with the rusted skin it goes together really well but love the colouring, your designing is amazing, are you an engineer/designer cause you have a nack for it
I'm interested in which route you took. With limited knowledge on the games more advanced features, I made a two-part rocket using a timer block to trigger the return of the first stage. Which had its own charging station on the ground. Unfortunately I tried to autopilot it which ended the project.
I've not watched any of Kanajashi's stuff so I'd say nope, to me I think the shape is more likely to be influenced from some weird mashup of a few Star Wars vehicles as it has some hints in there of them but really it was all around what I thought would look good with that industrial cockpit on the front
To make the conveyors look more industrial you could put the grated cat walks around them to look like ducts if they will fit with how low it is, I wanna learn how to make block models to implement double windows and ducted conveyors
I like having staged rockets where I have two hydrogen tanks with thrusters on them, with a merge block on top and then a smaller ship that can return to base with parachutes. and leave the hydrogen tanks in space for later use so I will have a stash of hydrogen that didn't get used from all my small space missions.
You don't need a sensor to control the air vents. I think that they still detect the O2 level when turned off. So just have a script running to turn them on when O2 drops below 75% and off when above 95%. As you already have a PB in the office you could load the script on that, Even sensors used power and as the PB is already there no extra power use. Rather than pure greeble winglets I would have gone for a pair of solar panels.
This might be a option for deploying the 'Decoy Beacon/missile device' it might be really useful to send enemies away from you chasing something disposable... and they might not need their own thrust if they were dropped in advance and set with a timer to pulse their beacon or you could turn them on before turning your antenna off. (Not sure that works with the AI-detection, but it's an idea)
It should work for the reavers that are up there, but won't do much for the other threats. Still might be handy to have some sort of capability in that regard though :)
Hello Splitsie, nice Idea with the Vent triggered by Sensor... but... the vent only use Power, if it Pressurize... so if you don't be in the room, the vent doesn't need Power (you can see this with the mod Build Info?). Only just use power for short time, till atmosphere is at 100%. King Regards from Stuttgart, Germany. Holger Mögerle
That's a good point for the ones that are adding O2, I hadn't thought of that. For the airlocks though I'll still need it as those suck down the 100kw regardless
Ugh, I saw four places where you could have added four more thrusters for downward thrust; two under the gatling guns, and two after placing two more junctions and/or elbows off the rear junctions for the rear trust. Thus giving 5 downward thrusters, that should be enough to hover it around the base and get it closer upon re'entry before deploying the chutes. Also I didn't say this last time, but that "crane" if you can even call it that, is worse then the most clang inducing device I'v yet seen; all because it's center of gravity and counter weight are not enough to pickup a quarter of a drone without tipping sideways without a landing gear. Please put mass blocks around the base of the crane, and/or place them on the part/end opposite of the boom arm.
when you first loaded into the game it reminded me of the southpark where cartman had a business of applying poop to the walls of a house to get revenge on parents
I'm writing this as the video reaches the 2/3rds mark in time. I think you should weaponize the crew module for defense vs missiles at the very least. I don't know if you have meteorites on, but they are a legit danger as well, especially when you're getting ready to launch. A couple of guns should be enough defenses, I think.
No meteors, those things are lag machines and I've not found them to be especially fun to play with. I won't be adding any turrets to this due to the small size but will try to leave space for turrets to get added to the main stage to provide some covering fire if I need to escape :)
was just thinking when you mentioned about the atmo module to boost you up, and detach.... what if you have it so that upon impact with the ground, it has 2 solar panels which rotor out to provide enough power for the beacon ? this should provide sufficient power especially if the atmo thrusters shut down upon detaching to allow it to drop and safely decend via chutes... and should be able to remain intact for the most part for the duration until you are able to recover too
That's a good thought, I should at least see if I can weight it in such a way that a fixed solar panel could be upward facing to give it better power certainty :)
I just had a thought to give extra power till you collect the base of the rocket you could add fold out solar panels to give a boost for the power levels apologies for the comment spam ‘:)
I may well put a solar panel on the lower section, probably not fold out but it could be fun trying to work out a way to get the parachutes to drop a segment to have it land solar panel up :)
Maybe put remote control blocks on each stage and give each stage an LZ with G.P.S. coordinates and have them land back at base. So like a timer block that activates a at remote control and a merge block, it detaches and the remote comes on sets autopilot and lands back a base. Then no need to go out with a separate vehicle and you can save both time and power.
It would be so good if Keen added per face texturing and colouring. Have you considered a guidance system for the rocket boosters so after the parachutes deploy, atmo engines push it towards a target LZ. Modern military uses such systems for cargo drops.
It really would be nice, I don't expect that they will as I'm not sure how that would work with their block deformation tech, but it would be useful. I think that could be a quite useful upgrade, but I might try for a simpler approach initially - remind me before the second launch (if there is one) :)
1) Was curious about the vent named garage that is in the office, wouldn't there also be a vent IN the garage itself? 2) Could you use this sensor method to essentially do away with your airlock systems? (Keep the airlock area, but have the sensor depressurize the room when you aren't in it)
Definitely throw a full load of ice in the o2h2 gen after you move it then once the tanks are full top off the 02h2 gen with ice and it's done and ready to go
It does a little, either way I'm really happy with how it turned out, been a while since I did something first go that came out with the shape that I'd imagined in me head at the start :)
Rusted plate is fine, for the outside since that is affected by the weather, but inside most pressurized areas it really shouldn't be like that. At least paint the kitchen back wall in a solid color!
Sadly with the blocks visible from both sides (inside and out) I have to choose which part I want to have looking a certain way and since I see the buildings more from the outside I chose that :)

@@Splitsie I know the Azumuth ones are really powerful, but construct empty. But, I'm meaning more just a mod that gives you various shapes, without too much additional power.
Wish I had a recommendation.
Either way tho.. happy to see more! :)
The aesthetic that you created is interesting. It give me the impression that the factory and garage are something the character found and has partially renovated with a new conveyor system and a few other fittings but is mostly this partially-resurrected old mining prospecting facility.
That's a really cool thought, might have to play into that a bit around the base now that you've mentioned it :)
37:45 you have little cargo boxes right there for emergency supplies, you can put some food and water in there instead of the cargo container
also you forgot upwards thrust
He has upwards thrust right behind the cockpit.
I think he's referring to thrusters pointing in the same direction as the underside of the cockpit.
@dajosh42069 no he's right at 28:02 you can see the wireframe of a thruster right behind the cockpit pointing down, though it wasn't placed or welded on screen so I missed it the first time.
@@ratchet1freak oh I have no idea, I was just trying to clarify what I _thought_ OP meant.
Sweet a video from you. Woke up from a nightmare so good way to calm down.
14:11 about what to put into that freight
1. Food and water (because why not)
2. At least 1 oxygen bottle (if base runs out of power you wouldn't be able to access your conveyors)
3. A Power kit or some explosives (in case you and your base runs out of power at the same time. Explosives might come handy for blasting your way out when you don't have any power kits)
4. Maybe a data pad to make notes in game. (Because it fells cooler than pen and paper, and more enviromentally friendly)
I love that at the end of the last episode you were talking about building a solar array to help with all the things needing charged and then this week you instead add three more batteries that need charged haha. Seems about right! XD
Crew module looks cool though man!
The thing about drones not spawning in asteroids and stuff is true and super annoying. The last personal run I started I had decided I wanted to force myself in to using nothing but drone vehicles to make it more challenging. Sadly, after building a drone capable of leaving the planet I spent about an hour trying to find asteroids with no luck. Spectated and transported up to the drone to test if it was because of remote and the second I TP'd half a dozen asteroids appeared... I hope they change that at some point.
I was thinking of doing the sensible thing, but then I decided NOPE! I want to go to space relatively early in this series so I'm off :D
Multistage-rocket... recovereable lower stages... oh yes, that is Splitsie style! :thumbs up:
Any way to have them piloting back down achieving an upright landing?
Embret R. Østring He could use the drop-pod script
You could put only atmospheric lifting thrusters on the module to save weight. Then you can helicopter fly it back to base instead of having a long walk. It's the method I use to move my landing pod on a survival start.
i use a timer pair, to turn off and on the airvents, on for 3 seconds, off for 30secs to 1 minute, of course that does mean you or a friend needs to not vent the entire room by accident haha. i also use this for early game/compact vehicles with not enough resources or space to place an o2 tank.
That's quite an elegant solution especially for small vehicles :)
10:46 so much yes ! :) To be honest, this whole rusty texture everywhere was really starting to make your buildings look awful. Although, on the outside it kind of works, too bad it also shows on the inside indeed.
32:16 in this case if it's for style, why not put two retro thrusters on each side and one vent in the middle ? Would be more useful that way too :)
Even some colour variation would help
Hey.
Splitsie.
Don't forget the cameras :P
Cheeky :P
I also noticed thrusters facing down are missing on that thing
Man looks awesome I like your little command vehicle it's going really look cool when you get the rest of it done can't wait.
I just hope I can think of a way to get the main stage to look good beside it
@@Splitsie that's true but I'm a little bit more concerned about how are you going to attach it are you going to do use your rotor piston trick to actually Mount the whole thing together that's my question.
It's unbelievable how much progress u made so far can't wait for next one!
Just as epic as ever Splitsie. :D
Yikes seeing the image for video I realized I'm a few weeks behind. Can't wait to get around and watch this what ever it is looks nifty.
I'm really quite proud of the little thing - should be fun to see if it works as imagined :P
I recommend put some half armor underside of cockpit, so it will never popup in case of landing.
Finally, a new episode, i was getting bored till i saw this nodification, thx for the video :D Also, Splitsie, if you want, you should call the rocket spaceie.
Eh... He can do better. Kinda weak for a rocket + Splitsie combo name.
I'm going to do my best to drift away from those names for a bit - I feel like I have enough of them for now :P
sure, i still wonder what the name is going to be....
call it shitsie
You could make the wings into 'radiators', still just decorative from a gameplay point of view, but a real spacecraft, even such a small one lacking a reactor, needs radiators to maintain a reasonable temperature internally.
Yayyyyy excited to watch this keep up the great content
Very nice. Kinda reminds me of the Smuggler's Ship from Ratchet and Clank. Got that sorta Space Van vibe going on.
Also weirdly The Widowmaker from MST3K, despite looking nothing like it.
It does have a bit of space van style :P
@@Splitsie Maybe you could repaint the landing gear black, you could have a van wearing vans.
Love the ship really cool looking. :D also Splitsie we need a new blooper vid soon lol
Splitsie. With the kitchenette you could face the stove towards the stairwell and place a see thru LCD on the back side of it.
Hi Splitsie, You could make an X Wing Type with Solar Panels on Rotors. Then you have a Little Power income.
I guess I could but I always feel like solar panels are more weight than benefit when it comes to things that fly, however I am contemplating using them on the booster stage to allow the beacons to remain active long term :)
The idea I have for the wings if you're interested is to have them come out four or five blocks out. Then have them go straight down another four or five blocks. At the bottom of the Wings put a landing gear. The wings would hug the outside of the second stage of the rocket
You could go a step further by adding timing blocks to the air system. Only turn the vent on for so long when you enter. You don't use much while inside, you don't lose much by going outside, so you can replenish it each time you enter for (i.e.) 10 seconds.
The kitchen that could drop stuff off the back into a stairwell really simplifys the boiling oil defenses
I just realized that the intro is so old it has the old ions
For the air vent system, you can add action to the air vent to turn it self off when the room is 100% pressurized. You can add a timer to turn on the air vent every 10 minutes, and your sensor can be used to turn the timer on and off. In this way, when you are inside your air vent will only be on for a few seconds every 10 minutes instead of constantly using power, and when you are outside it will still be always off.
That's an interesting solution, it could be used in concert with the sensor setups as well. The other thing I need to hook up to the sensors are the lights, so that the internal lights are only on while I'm in the room, I'm interested to see if such a thing would show up on any time lapse as I move about the base too - if so it'd possibly look quite cool :)
An idea for the booster's return. Rabenschild on his streams 2+3 weeks ago they did a multistage rocket launch and used PAM for the booster's return to the launch pad to avoid the hassle of dragging it back to base. The older stream covered the setup of PAM and the recent one showed launch and return of booster. Just an idea to save effort and resources for you. Keep up the great work!
That's a pretty cool concept, I think I might go simple-ish for the first launch (mostly so I have an excuse to use the crane) and later could do that as an upgrade to make relaunch faster :)
Please, tell me you're gonna make a timelapse compilation at the end of this series? It's just so warranted and would be amazing.
Could probably add some decoy pods to the wingtips. Just in case you get shot at. :) Can't wait for it to be on the workshop!
Sadly the wings are too short for decoys to do much of anything, given the inaccuracy of weapons in SE the spread of damage would be wide enough that they'd be unlikely to protect anything, however I am planning on having some in the main stage to draw fire away from the command module entirely :)
@@Splitsie Oh, I was thinking more for aesthetic reasons. Like the wingtip fuel pods on old fighters. But, with the added benefit of taking a few shots instead of your battery while you're running away! Just a suggestion, loving this series!
Another really cool, yet adorable little first mission space ship. And a chance to let somebody else find out, how much use the small tanks are for ships ;)
youre such an inspiration..thank you for your insight...love ya vids
The rust pattern looks very repetitive on the orange conveyors. It wasn't a problem before, but now it's noticeable.
Catwalks and railings could be a darker color.
Keep in mind that with dampers off you can easily use the guns as you run away
Again, excited internal screaming when I saw you uploaded another video. You sir, make some awesome content. When looking at the crew module, I thought of the fish that sucks on bigger fish to save energy. Looked it up, they’re called ‘Remora’. Pretty cool name right? #namesuggestion
That is an interesting one, I'm writing it down on the names list :)
@@Splitsie Glad I could help :)
Oh splitsie could I suggest trying the weathered look with the rusted skin it goes together really well but love the colouring, your designing is amazing, are you an engineer/designer cause you have a nack for it
I'm interested in which route you took. With limited knowledge on the games more advanced features, I made a two-part rocket using a timer block to trigger the return of the first stage. Which had its own charging station on the ground. Unfortunately I tried to autopilot it which ended the project.
Did you get idea for ship from Kamajashi? His respawn ship looks similar.
I've not watched any of Kanajashi's stuff so I'd say nope, to me I think the shape is more likely to be influenced from some weird mashup of a few Star Wars vehicles as it has some hints in there of them but really it was all around what I thought would look good with that industrial cockpit on the front
@@Splitsie Oh ok, np. That's cool man!
@@Splitsie Here is ship in question.
th-cam.com/video/enP13W7CEfw/w-d-xo.html
yay, new video!
To make the conveyors look more industrial you could put the grated cat walks around them to look like ducts if they will fit with how low it is, I wanna learn how to make block models to implement double windows and ducted conveyors
I like having staged rockets where I have two hydrogen tanks with thrusters on them, with a merge block on top and then a smaller ship that can return to base with parachutes. and leave the hydrogen tanks in space for later use so I will have a stash of hydrogen that didn't get used from all my small space missions.
You don't need a sensor to control the air vents. I think that they still detect the O2 level when turned off. So just have a script running to turn them on when O2 drops below 75% and off when above 95%. As you already have a PB in the office you could load the script on that, Even sensors used power and as the PB is already there no extra power use. Rather than pure greeble winglets I would have gone for a pair of solar panels.
My problem with designing ships is that I focus entirely on function without regard to form. The result is a lot of flying bricks.
This might be a option for deploying the 'Decoy Beacon/missile device' it might be really useful to send enemies away from you chasing something disposable... and they might not need their own thrust if they were dropped in advance and set with a timer to pulse their beacon or you could turn them on before turning your antenna off. (Not sure that works with the AI-detection, but it's an idea)
It should work for the reavers that are up there, but won't do much for the other threats. Still might be handy to have some sort of capability in that regard though :)
Hello Splitsie,
nice Idea with the Vent triggered by Sensor... but... the vent only use Power, if it Pressurize... so if you don't be in the room, the vent doesn't need Power (you can see this with the mod Build Info?). Only just use power for short time, till atmosphere is at 100%. King Regards from Stuttgart, Germany.
Holger Mögerle
That's a good point for the ones that are adding O2, I hadn't thought of that. For the airlocks though I'll still need it as those suck down the 100kw regardless
Love these vidoes, keep it up ;)
You could also try and turn of the lights when you leave
Australian Gamer could be done with a sensor that covers the specific area the lights cover
Should have added 2 more gatling guns on the front!
i love the design of the little ship i just have a question how are you going to recharge the hydrogen tanks/ power for the little ship?
Wow that camera rig worked out very nicely.
Ugh, I saw four places where you could have added four more thrusters for downward thrust; two under the gatling guns, and two after placing two more junctions and/or elbows off the rear junctions for the rear trust. Thus giving 5 downward thrusters, that should be enough to hover it around the base and get it closer upon re'entry before deploying the chutes.
Also I didn't say this last time, but that "crane" if you can even call it that, is worse then the most clang inducing device I'v yet seen; all because it's center of gravity and counter weight are not enough to pickup a quarter of a drone without tipping sideways without a landing gear. Please put mass blocks around the base of the crane, and/or place them on the part/end opposite of the boom arm.
when you first loaded into the game it reminded me of the southpark where cartman had a business of applying poop to the walls of a house to get revenge on parents
That's mildly disturbing :P
Really cool thumbnail, i must say
To allow for different paint on the outside you could use half blocks to make it 2 separate blocks
food!
better food, at least!
(think of all the potatoes :(
also, that ship reminds me of a starting freight ship in another game
If you are going to turn-tail mostly to dangerous encounters, you might want to cover that battery with a bit more armor on the rear.
im afraid aestetics outweighs safety
I'm writing this as the video reaches the 2/3rds mark in time. I think you should weaponize the crew module for defense vs missiles at the very least. I don't know if you have meteorites on, but they are a legit danger as well, especially when you're getting ready to launch. A couple of guns should be enough defenses, I think.
No meteors, those things are lag machines and I've not found them to be especially fun to play with. I won't be adding any turrets to this due to the small size but will try to leave space for turrets to get added to the main stage to provide some covering fire if I need to escape :)
was just thinking when you mentioned about the atmo module to boost you up, and detach.... what if you have it so that upon impact with the ground, it has 2 solar panels which rotor out to provide enough power for the beacon ?
this should provide sufficient power especially if the atmo thrusters shut down upon detaching to allow it to drop and safely decend via chutes... and should be able to remain intact for the most part for the duration until you are able to recover too
That's a good thought, I should at least see if I can weight it in such a way that a fixed solar panel could be upward facing to give it better power certainty :)
I just had a thought to give extra power till you collect the base of the rocket you could add fold out solar panels to give a boost for the power levels apologies for the comment spam ‘:)
I may well put a solar panel on the lower section, probably not fold out but it could be fun trying to work out a way to get the parachutes to drop a segment to have it land solar panel up :)
Maybe put remote control blocks on each stage and give each stage an LZ with G.P.S. coordinates and have them land back at base. So like a timer block that activates a at remote control and a merge block, it detaches and the remote comes on sets autopilot and lands back a base. Then no need to go out with a separate vehicle and you can save both time and power.
You should find a place for an ore detector, to scout asteroides perhaps maybe , the ships is really cool looking
Thanks from me too dude a lot less shouting and repeated mashing my keyboard while scrambling for my cockpit.
Very happy to have that mod back :)
It would be so good if Keen added per face texturing and colouring.
Have you considered a guidance system for the rocket boosters so after the parachutes deploy, atmo engines push it towards a target LZ. Modern military uses such systems for cargo drops.
It really would be nice, I don't expect that they will as I'm not sure how that would work with their block deformation tech, but it would be useful.
I think that could be a quite useful upgrade, but I might try for a simpler approach initially - remind me before the second launch (if there is one) :)
@@Splitsie The... simpler approach...? Who are you and what have you done with the REAL Splitsie!? 🤔
*just went into space in TenTech Survival* This feels familiar...
*keeps watching* Air vents to fill tanks, why did I forget that was a thing!?
Nice little emergency pod
1) Was curious about the vent named garage that is in the office, wouldn't there also be a vent IN the garage itself?
2) Could you use this sensor method to essentially do away with your airlock systems? (Keep the airlock area, but have the sensor depressurize the room when you aren't in it)
It's named Garage Office, that part was just truncated.
That's exactly how I've got it set up :)
Definitely throw a full load of ice in the o2h2 gen after you move it then once the tanks are full top off the 02h2 gen with ice and it's done and ready to go
The guns aren’t for looks, there to scare away the pirates :P It also looks a bit like a bird of sorts
It does a little, either way I'm really happy with how it turned out, been a while since I did something first go that came out with the shape that I'd imagined in me head at the start :)
Thanks for the video
It was the cameras for me 😂
Rusted plate is fine, for the outside since that is affected by the weather, but inside most pressurized areas it really shouldn't be like that.
At least paint the kitchen back wall in a solid color!
Sadly with the blocks visible from both sides (inside and out) I have to choose which part I want to have looking a certain way and since I see the buildings more from the outside I chose that :)
