Today was hilarious, bunch of laughs... GG to the 'NPC's' for making it good as always. I may have ideas for how to make this soooo much worse/better ;) Thanks everyone, was a blast!
This week was so much fun, the stuff the truckers brought in was incredible - I can't wait to show you all the plans I have to make our main base move a LOT better next week :)
I just checked and TH-cam says it's still processing it :( I'm not sure how long it would normally take for something like this, but unfortunately I can't seem to do anything that will speed it up
The shock in the voice of the ground mounted manual aim cannon signals to me that Splitsie had not thought of this, and was impressed and maybe a tinge upset he had not already thought of it.
that gatling trailer was genius... I wonder..... if you stick a couple of rotors and small hinges on to the big rover and use grabby hands to do a similar thing for defensive or offensive emplacements... or have an artillery weapon using the same control method... so one person is able to access a camera to spot while the person in control has to go off the guidance of what they are being relayed.... angle, range, direction etc... would certainly mean it will give a use for the compass mod too
The RBLF is Not surprised the Splitsie does not know the importance of having a compass. He also doesn’t know the importance of Glorious Red Batteries. Silly Splitsie! 😂😂😂😂😂
Digi's ladder mod would be very helpful to you all on this. It has an extensible ladder that can be retracted, and you can use tools on the ladders from the mod. I believe it has an extension mod that adds its features to vanilla ladders too. It even lets you place individual rungs on small grid, so its super handy there.
You could try making flyers that use ‘custom’ thrusters. Using rotors and armored slops. It over complicated so it’s perfect for the series. Also, the large grid could be done as a walker, each leg being told to move by its own button. Doing it on stream would allow the viewers to give input!
While I'm not sure how practical it'd be, I think it could be interesting to use small grid wheels on a hinge to act as breaks for the larger wheels. As opposed to what Splitsie originally thought of using small grid wheels on the ground (which I feel kind of goes against the spirit of the rules, allowing you to use the parking brake) this way the breaking could be applied directly to the large grid wheels. You could set the friction on the small grid wheels to 100 and use a hinge to lower them on top of the large grid wheels, I think this is more similar to how breaks work in real life and could be interesting to see how it'd work in SE. Overall, I've really been enjoying the challenge so far though and I can't wait to see what shenanigans you guys get up to next XD
Also, as if the small grid wheel would be the "brake pad", then it should work for steering it too. Just apply brake to just one of the rear wheels and the other wheels will "steer" by pulling to the side it's braking... maybe... Got this idea from how you steer a sled down hill, by braking.
can confirm, this actually works really well, at least on a relatively low-mass test vehicle. If it works too well, you could always build a little grabby hands lever and require someone to manually apply the brakes at each wheel.
Large grid control idea: What about putting the four outer wheels face down hovercraft style, then having a wheel or pair of wheels oriented normally (wheel perpendicular to planet surface) on a rotor oriented vertically (spinning on horizontal plane). Then you could use the rotor to rotate the wheels around and control direction of travel. Maybe also put all this on a vertical piston so you can pull the contraption up, rotate it to the heading you want, then put it down and give the wheels power.
might seem a little random, but I got space engineers earlier today! I might have a potato for a pc but it's still super super fun, thanks for being such an inspiration! also loving this wrong way out series, even if I cant catch the lives all the time
For steering the large grid rover, I'm not sure if you said it was against the rules, but you could use the increase/decrease steering override actions. I use them when creating automated rovers. Doing automated rovers is also when I discovered the problem with the propulsion overrides being wrong on one side so had to add actions to invert the propulsion for one side when in automated mode and to be normal when I'm in control of the rover. It was painful watching the VOD and not being able to tell you. :) Now if Keen could add "set propulsion to" and "set steering to" actions like they did for the pistons, hinges and rotors I wouldn't have to keep putting multiple actions to get my speed and steering to where I want it to be on my automated rovers.
Yeah, the lack of 'set to' is how I came up with my plan for next week. I'm confident it'll handle the steering issues and the braking, but less confident about any breaking issues 😂
Did you know that the tools now stack??? @3:17:10, you were carrying 2 Basic grinders, 4 basic drills, 2 basic welders and an improved welder. They take up a ton of inventory space.
I am caling it, soon Splitsie and his happy friends gonna build a manual controlled tank to drive around. the piloting already is handled by Splitsie and Wasted, now all it need is a seperate connector mag connected turret and guns for TFE and Capac :)
I realise I'm 2 weeks behind here and I'm about to watch Splitsie drive it off a cliff but I was thinking Capac should have taken the new captured rover as his and turned his pink/purple rover into a solar aray trailer that can be left behind when going into battle and that TFE can attach to the other side of so both can recharge from it and presuming it has at least 1 battle on board it will charge that while everyone's in battle and have a small supply waiting for when Capac and TFE get back 🤷♂️
@Splitsie yeah that cliff bit didn't work out quite as planned 🤦♂️😅 but watching w4sted drive this tiny scout mini rover / quad bike type thing should be hilarious and definitely won't get catastrophically wrong at high speeds across open terrain while chased by npc's 😂
With no control seat or cockpit or remote control, the rover and wheels have no idea which way is forward, so it guesses, but differently each time you press a button.
New to playing SE been watching for years. Just wondering as far as a fun SE work around for visibility. Is there a way to link a camera to a LCD screen. Place camera on rear and both sides to give you a kinda narrow 360 view from controls still?
I like wasted' idea of several small grids. Make one the cargo rover. Everyone else has defensive rovers or planes. Drive on those and then project and build large grid production blocks when you need to refine and assemble. When you need to go mobile, you grind down the production blocks and roll them out. If hostiles are about, the cargo rover projects a turtle shell with guns.
The problem with your tank is it's built like a car that wants steering on at least two of the four corners. What if you make the large grid more like an escape-from-mars-style hovercraft, without thrusters and where the corner wheels on your wheelbase are zero friction and the drive wheels are across the center for better tank controls. As you add more wheels and need more power, you can set the center wheels being highest friction and outer/corner wheels being zero friction and each wheel between being on a spectrum from zero to a hundred.
I think our issue may well have been one of mass, the wheels didn't grip enough on either side to want to turn instead of just roll in the direction that was pushing hardest. However I have an idea that's just goofy enough to work which I'll be building next week - it may end up using some rotor steering too :D
Great Stream! My proposal for the Big Rover: A "Bosten Dynamics" robot with 4 "legs", with each leg controlled by one person, in order to move over any terrain you want! Shouldn't even need that many buttons to move, just a few presets or so, so 1 or 2 Button Panels (per leg and thus, per person) could be enough even!
I might have to take a look and see if I can make a relatively quick to build walker. The main thing that's usually held me back from making them is the time it takes to construct (especially in survival), but maybe if I had some practice it would be something buildable while the wheels are still below.
Do sensors detect trees and if so could it be possbile to set up some grinders to activate when close enough to the tree to chop it down so you can continue driving.
You should add the mod to remove paint input, then select your default colour as your suit colours so everyone builds in their own colours. Can't say it'll be pretty but fun to see.
Imagine a pop up rudder assembly off the stern and a tiller that could be manipulated with grabby hands. No button pushing required to steer. In theory. Could also double as the brake.
If you really hated your free time, you could try recreating mechanical linkages of an aircraft control column to get something that can actually steer the craft would probably have to be separated into separate levers for each axis due to scale issues
Wouldn't it of been better to split the controls up horizontally instead of laterally. For example Left = Front left reverse/front right forward (one button press) and rear left reverse rear right forward (being the second button press for the other controller). You could in essence do a digital copy of what a LSD (limited slip differential) does and use steering like that and steer using different friction states. I usually watch these series as a whole, but I have been enjoying them so just wanted to say cheers everyone for all the content. Have a good one.
Honestly, with how much trouble we had with the wheels as they were, I'm not confident anything would have worked, but without spoiling it, the idea I came up with for part 3, has been one of my most fun engineering designs I've ever made for a rover ;)
@@Splitsie I am up to the third part right now... you are a mad man. It is something I have always wanted to try, but lack the ability in Space Engineers to do. Alas 40 years of mechanical engineering doesn't equate to being qualified in this game. I cannot wait for the outcome lol. Although I am intrigued into Wasted idea for a crossbow launching system. Thanks to all of you for all the great content and videos mate, have a great day.
I'm still watching and up to 1:35:00... what if you guys make 2 separate drivable large grids connected to small grid in the middle so you have 2 forward vehicles... that way the lead one advances and the rear one can be the breaks?...
Sad times that AI blocks can't use wheels, it would be hilarious to see large grid rover driving happily after one of you, maybe even with a tail on a hinge so it can wag it.
Did disabling the park brake also turn off the park brake of the wheels holding the solar panel, causing the panels to slide off the trailer when you hit the ghost tree? is it possible that's why you could not move the grid with pistons, due to the park brake of the wheels holding the solar panels on? Or was it just the mighty power of the ghost tree?
Park brake is per sub grid, so it'll only disable the wheels on the specific sub grid that the remote control is on. So in this case no, because the wheels were all on independent subgrids
Not sure if its been mentioned yet but the reason the right side wheel group had a wheel icon and the left side wheel group had a compiled icon is because the rear left wheel (i think) is a right side wheel renamed to left side. Wasted changed the name but the wheel is physically a right side wheel. Might also make the height adjustments janky. Also havnt finished watching yet so if you have figured it out already, nevermind 😂
@Splitsie ill have to double check but was only thing I could think of that made sense. Unless it's another cockpit quirk where cockpit overrides wheel settings so they all show as groups. Lots to look into on SE lately haha
2:46:09 I have been sat here watching this for half an hour now thinking - "At what point are they going to realize that having three right and one left wheels is going to cause them a massive problem with manual control?"
@@Splitsie driving with overrides and no safety net is almost guaranteed to lead to your main rover driving itself off into the sunset. Which I'm partly looking forward to and also really want you to engineer solutions for preemptively
Splitsie, i don't know if you'll read this, but do you know if its possible to mod the menu to make the GPS tab unavailable? I'm considering a playthrough of Scrapyard where i cant use GPS until i place 3 powered antenna arrays at least 10km apart in a triangle to simulate GPS through Triangulation. I've never found a mod to get rid of GPS though.
True and I could do that. It would just be so much more immersive if you could disable it and re enable it when you had triangulation. Thanks for the reply! I just passed 1500 hours in the game and your videos have been a MAJOR inspiration for me to try new ways of building.
Those « chock » rovers looks like thé remote controled things that thé firefly landed on in Thunder birds. Driven by Virgil so that the bomb doesnt explode
Man I'm late again for this week. I forgot to tune in during my morning workout lol. Did you plan to actually use sensor and actually will have to step left right front back like actual DDR? I'm looking forward for the abomination your DDR controlled rover, and the explosions that it will eventually create.
great episode guys, got loads of laughs today. I have a question, a friend and i are playing SE on a gtx server, i can see gps's that he sends via chat but he cant see anything from me. does anyone have any ideas why this is happening?
Are you using a script to make the trailer wheels cooperate with the vehicle wheels? I know there's that wheel control script but I've been trying to build trailers on official/vanilla servers where scripts are disabled and can't seem to get anything to work, the wheels on my connected trailer don't respond to my controls and basically just drag on the ground. Is there any solution for vanilla?
We'd need someone who knew C# to be able to even attempt something like that and I think I may have a simpler but much goofier solution to locomotion for next week ;)
I have a brake Idea. 🙃 make long boom of armor blocks hinged to the front of the Vehicle. when u want to stop you turn off the hinge and the spear swings down impaling it into the ground and quickly stopping you.
TH-cam now gives you the option to reorder it, if you go to the playlist page you can set it to be by date published - it's annoying that they decided to add algorithmic ordering, but at least you can override it as a viewer. By default I'd set it to by date, but often it seems to go to something else for some viewers
Why don't make bigger size small rover and large grid trailer with large grid wheels? No remote so as a trailer it's fine. You can make 5x5 small grid massive rover and as connection point use connector?
the whole "without a cockpit the wheels go clockwise" thing makes perfect sense though, in the way that without a cockpit the grid has no "front" or "left and right", plus how would you expect wheels to rotate that are placed vertically or sideways anyway (no reason to condescendingly laugh it off like w4sted did, keen might make weird decisions, but this isnt one of them) edit: and of course they needed a way to seperate the left and right wheel texture, they never implied otherwise, where is the problem? editedit: whats a "pavlover"? google only shows me cake, is that it? editeditedit; ah, he shows it, still wierd to single out a specific type of cake editediteditedit: the missing cargo was "Stollen"? but it isnt chrismas time yet lol (talking about a specific type of cake) ediiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttt: also capacs rovers form and colourscheme now looks like one of those plastic kiddy cars
There's more context to it, I picked the Pavlova because it was used in a scientific study looking at driver caution. People took more care driving with one than with their own child, the study was done in Australia and Pavlovas are popular here and also very fragile
"Some weird combination of grey and orange" sounds like Splitsie is making out W4sted as being some sort of lovechild of himself and Capac.... NOT AN IMAGE I WANT IN MY HEAD. Please don't say this again.
@@Splitsie can u do a test for me. Make a UFO shape put 4 wheels face each direction with no friction and place one wheel I. Middle for drive and steering will that actually work as u can then steer and drive off one wheel. Not to sure If u can in game but can u use a rotor and then have it loose and use grabby hands as a steering wheel with a even controller that says if rotor turns soo many degrees then wheels turn as well just a crazy thought
That depends on your perspective, if you like to collect everything you find? sure. If you want to give the humans playing NPCs a fun storyline to latch onto with their vehicle recovery? not so much. We already had plenty of vehicles and didn't need another one and it was fun to try to ditch it to keep them off our backs for a little longer :)
Today was hilarious, bunch of laughs... GG to the 'NPC's' for making it good as always.
I may have ideas for how to make this soooo much worse/better ;)

Digi's ladder mod would be very helpful to you all on this. It has an extensible ladder that can be retracted, and you can use tools on the ladders from the mod. I believe it has an extension mod that adds its features to vanilla ladders too. It even lets you place individual rungs on small grid, so its super handy there.
You could try making flyers that use ‘custom’ thrusters. Using rotors and armored slops. It over complicated so it’s perfect for the series. Also, the large grid could be done as a walker, each leg being told to move by its own button. Doing it on stream would allow the viewers to give input!
I haven't had a lot of success making rotor based thrusters with aerodynamics, but maybe we'll get lucky at some point 😂
TFE rover kinda looks like a discount scorpion tank from Halo.
You could apply a 5x5 small grid wheel to the large grid wheel directly and use it's break against the large grid.
I've always been a bit cautious making wheels that can collide but with how much more like a real world brake that is it would be fun to at least try
I think the easiest way to fix the large grids is to simply deconstruct and replace them
While I'm not sure how practical it'd be, I think it could be interesting to use small grid wheels on a hinge to act as breaks for the larger wheels. As opposed to what Splitsie originally thought of using small grid wheels on the ground (which I feel kind of goes against the spirit of the rules, allowing you to use the parking brake) this way the breaking could be applied directly to the large grid wheels.

I'm still watching and up to 1:35:00... what if you guys make 2 separate drivable large grids connected to small grid in the middle so you have 2 forward vehicles... that way the lead one advances and the rear one can be the breaks?...
Sad times that AI blocks can't use wheels, it would be hilarious to see large grid rover driving happily after one of you, maybe even with a tail on a hinge so it can wag it.
Lol
1:22:09 why does the piston say functional underwater? Are you using a water mod?
Did disabling the park brake also turn off the park brake of the wheels holding the solar panel, causing the panels to slide off the trailer when you hit the ghost tree? is it possible that's why you could not move the grid with pistons, due to the park brake of the wheels holding the solar panels on? Or was it just the mighty power of the ghost tree?
Park brake is per sub grid, so it'll only disable the wheels on the specific sub grid that the remote control is on. So in this case no, because the wheels were all on independent subgrids
@@Splitsie ah ok thank did not realise it only affected the relevant sub grid
Not sure if its been mentioned yet but the reason the right side wheel group had a wheel icon and the left side wheel group had a compiled icon is because the rear left wheel (i think) is a right side wheel renamed to left side. Wasted changed the name but the wheel is physically a right side wheel. Might also make the height adjustments janky. Also havnt finished watching yet so if you have figured it out already, nevermind 😂
02:48:00 there it is 😂
Oh yeah, that would make sense. Though I thought mixed wheel types still got an icon 🤔
@Splitsie ill have to double check but was only thing I could think of that made sense. Unless it's another cockpit quirk where cockpit overrides wheel settings so they all show as groups. Lots to look into on SE lately haha
Even symmetry lets you do centered trailers still...just gotta use crossing arms like in the recent scrapyard server play.
2:46:09 I have been sat here watching this for half an hour now thinking - "At what point are they going to realize that having three right and one left wheels is going to cause them a massive problem with manual control?"
2:48:04 FINALLY!
My sugestion to improve tank track steering is to add a center pair of wheels. Use higher friction on those, lower on forward and rear wheels.
Yup, that might have helped
I like the bad guys rovers
Maybe possible, but you could have lcds linked to a camera so it displays what the camera sees
It's only possible with plugins and the performance hit just isn't worth it for me, plus it's rare that such plugins have been particularly stable
Is there a way to have a sensor so that if no player is detected within the controls area, the parking brake is automatically turned on?
Without a control seat, no I don't think it's possible. You could at least turn off the propulsion though
@@Splitsie driving with overrides and no safety net is almost guaranteed to lead to your main rover driving itself off into the sunset. Which I'm partly looking forward to and also really want you to engineer solutions for preemptively
Splitsie, i don't know if you'll read this, but do you know if its possible to mod the menu to make the GPS tab unavailable? I'm considering a playthrough of Scrapyard where i cant use GPS until i place 3 powered antenna arrays at least 10km apart in a triangle to simulate GPS through Triangulation. I've never found a mod to get rid of GPS though.
I'm not certain, but I feel like I've seen someone attempt it, but I might be misremembering someone who just gave themselves that restriction
True and I could do that. It would just be so much more immersive if you could disable it and re enable it when you had triangulation. Thanks for the reply! I just passed 1500 hours in the game and your videos have been a MAJOR inspiration for me to try new ways of building.
30:53 hehe, my message during the livestream lol
Two big small grids acting as steering axels for your large grid.
Have the large grid wheels on connectors and eject the wheels when you want to park
lol That would be quite the challenge to get moving again :D
Those « chock » rovers looks like thé remote controled things that thé firefly landed on in Thunder birds.
Driven by Virgil so that the bomb doesnt explode
Man I'm late again for this week. I forgot to tune in during my morning workout lol.
Did you plan to actually use sensor and actually will have to step left right front back like actual DDR? I'm looking forward for the abomination your DDR controlled rover, and the explosions that it will eventually create.
Yeah, that's the idea 😂
why don't you do one for propulsion and another for steering angle?
great episode guys, got loads of laughs today. I have a question, a friend and i are playing SE on a gtx server, i can see gps's that he sends via chat but he cant see anything from me. does anyone have any ideas why this is happening?
Is he checking for the hidden markers in his GPS list before they expire? It took me way too long to finally get capac to understand that behaviour 😂
Are you using a script to make the trailer wheels cooperate with the vehicle wheels? I know there's that wheel control script but I've been trying to build trailers on official/vanilla servers where scripts are disabled and can't seem to get anything to work, the wheels on my connected trailer don't respond to my controls and basically just drag on the ground. Is there any solution for vanilla?
You could try to set wheel overrides using event controllers or something but I don't think it would work very well with what I have in my head
What if... You drove the large grid with a Command Line Interface. "Turn 3 degrees right" "set heading 150°" "forward 5 m/s"
We'd need someone who knew C# to be able to even attempt something like that and I think I may have a simpler but much goofier solution to locomotion for next week ;)
I'd never heard of a pavlova before... now I want one
They are absolutely delicious :)
Does your large grid have a kickstand, or is it just happy to see us? Lmao
Lol
Which tracer mod is being used?
It's called faction tracers
I have a brake Idea. 🙃 make long boom of armor blocks hinged to the front of the Vehicle. when u want to stop you turn off the hinge and the spear swings down impaling it into the ground and quickly stopping you.
Ghost trees, ghost boulders. Do I hear ghost mountain? Or ghost gorge?
Hey Splitsie, your playlist is set up in reverse order.
TH-cam now gives you the option to reorder it, if you go to the playlist page you can set it to be by date published - it's annoying that they decided to add algorithmic ordering, but at least you can override it as a viewer.
By default I'd set it to by date, but often it seems to go to something else for some viewers
This is my happy place ❤
All the trees!
Why don't make bigger size small rover and large grid trailer with large grid wheels? No remote so as a trailer it's fine. You can make 5x5 small grid massive rover and as connection point use connector?
Nope it's not Wrong Way Out it's Splitsie makes LOTS and lots of problems.
Otherwise known as, I create a situation where everyone can have some fun in Space Engineers :)
the whole "without a cockpit the wheels go clockwise" thing makes perfect sense though, in the way that without a cockpit the grid has no "front" or "left and right", plus how would you expect wheels to rotate that are placed vertically or sideways anyway
(no reason to condescendingly laugh it off like w4sted did, keen might make weird decisions, but this isnt one of them)
edit: and of course they needed a way to seperate the left and right wheel texture, they never implied otherwise, where is the problem?
editedit: whats a "pavlover"? google only shows me cake, is that it?
editeditedit; ah, he shows it, still wierd to single out a specific type of cake
editediteditedit: the missing cargo was "Stollen"? but it isnt chrismas time yet lol (talking about a specific type of cake)
ediiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttt: also capacs rovers form and colourscheme now looks like one of those plastic kiddy cars
There's more context to it, I picked the Pavlova because it was used in a scientific study looking at driver caution. People took more care driving with one than with their own child, the study was done in Australia and Pavlovas are popular here and also very fragile
@@Splitsie another thing learned today, also i havent even finished watching the video yet lol
could you not have a steering override instead?
We could, but we got a bit tunnel vision on doing tank steer as we thought it would be easier, I'm not we were right 😬
Can’t you just use a button to put on the brake? Or is that against the rules?
It's not possible without a cockpit
I would of used 4 small grid rovers as wheels so it takes 4 people to drive
i guess Abiotic Factor is on hold for a while then.
Yep, we were still having fun with it but there are always more things to play than time to play them
The crash noise and TFE's uh oh @1:13:51 make me wonder if he hit splitsie.
15:40
**looks at video title**
𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭...
Why couldn't you just have a button that makes all the wheels drive override in opposite directions to apply "brakes"
That might be somewhat doable, though the idea I have for locomotion that I'm going to try this week should make it even easier 🙂
it's not pink it's lightish red
Doonut! 😂
"Some weird combination of grey and orange" sounds like Splitsie is making out W4sted as being some sort of lovechild of himself and Capac....
NOT AN IMAGE I WANT IN MY HEAD.
Please don't say this again.
Some strange combination of grey and orange then? :P
So with you all having no jetpacks, does this mean there will be no Capac catapults? 🙃
He's already managed to fling us a few times when he was driving 😂
Why not splitsie do all the wheels forward and back and wasted to do steering left and right
We thought tank steering would work better, I now suspect we were wrong, but I've got a better plan for next week that even makes parking easier 🙂
@@Splitsie use a huge small rover as a truck and large as the trailer?
Something quite a bit more crazy than that ;)
@@Splitsie can u do a test for me. Make a UFO shape put 4 wheels face each direction with no friction and place one wheel I. Middle for drive and steering will that actually work as u can then steer and drive off one wheel. Not to sure If u can in game but can u use a rotor and then have it loose and use grabby hands as a steering wheel with a even controller that says if rotor turns soo many degrees then wheels turn as well just a crazy thought
splitsie upload all the vehicles i do like the palmino's they same sturdy aswhell your starting vehicle
It's on the workshop 🙂 steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3356134945
I'll take the Code...
why wouldn’t you keep the nice 6 wheel rover… makes 0 sense to ditch it
That depends on your perspective, if you like to collect everything you find? sure. If you want to give the humans playing NPCs a fun storyline to latch onto with their vehicle recovery? not so much. We already had plenty of vehicles and didn't need another one and it was fun to try to ditch it to keep them off our backs for a little longer :)
