    This is THE BEST space engineers video I've ever watched. Just screams quality.
    Widely informational, detailed and quite entertaining to watch at the same time.
    Explanations are extremely clear and yet not over-simplified. Just right on the spot.
    And the editing is over the top. All the cuts and transitions are right where they are supposed to be and all little details and "cinematic cutscenes" are just perfect *chef kiss*
    It's very sad that such topic is not widely popular on TH-cam, with the amount of effort this video probably has taken to make you sir deserve a bigger audience.

      KITT thanks a lot I appreciate the comment! I kinda dug my own grave after I made the intro lol, the bar was set and I can't come down. Ep. 2 is more entertaining IMO, what's finished of it that is. Too bad it's a niche game but it's still my favorite

    my guy, you are a literal genius: you've streamlined and updated possibly the most cohesive and applicable method for mechs into something even better. that is true innovation. Like the engineer from tf2, while more gun is a solution i've seen you use, like the engineer you also use your absolutely gigantic brain to find solutions to problems that lay in plain sight. It's absolutely clear your main strategy is Improvise. adapt. overcome. thank you black armor, for getting me into automation in SE.

      I just found this game like 2 weeks ago and let my imagination run wild. So at the base that I finally built my most basic machine is still somewhat complex lol to get material fast but have a base at the bottom of a mountain pretty much shaped in my giant funnel. Then there's a catapult that literally launches me halfway up the mountain and the ark of flight the technically a y-axis velocity of zero and so it took a few tries but I finally got it placed correctly to where my speed of flying up this mountain without a jetpack will not kill me. then I can just build drills up there and have it shoot the rocks a little sloping up dug out that goes to the final itself which isn't hard to do since it only has to fall straight down pretty much I'm just let it go and it does all the work. There's a bunch of crazy little contractions you can make. I have done their 3D printer idea but I also put a little floor on there so if I need the parts from that vehicle I can just drive it on there and then drop it into a grinding unit machine to get on my parts back. Now to do this without killing me is that I put it on a floor that slides

    I came into this not really expecting to even attempt to build a mech, I thought it would be too complicated but you absolutely nailed it with this guide. Explanations are as streamlined as they can be and and you even gave good tips for the design itself. Absolutely fantastic work , nothing else to say except bravo!

    I had a chuckle when you mentioned inspiration. I realized I started playing space engineers when I saw your video with the vengeance bomber that got me interested in space engineers but the centurion battle mech made me download and start. I gave up hope rather quick because i couldmt even make a blocky ship fly. My first mech was a small backward knee biped that took me hours to make and barely worked because i over compensated everything on rotor settings. I had to spend almost a full day studying your mech tutorial world to understand since i kept trying to rush or make massive mechs. A few mechs later your titam jaeger came out and thats when I decided to make striker eureka from pacific rim. Ever since then ive made almost exclusively walkers In my worlds and ive made several jaegers. There have been times where I quit because they arent good for survival or i have no one to admire them but I constantly challenge myself to make bigger and better creations because i see your videos and it inspires me to keep building. I am so glad to have found your channel and hope to get better with every build.
    Side note: my biggest mech so far is 160 (400m i believe?) large grid blocks tall and based on the mech from avatar legend of kora

    This is a very in detail tutorial and you did a great job leaving in a whole whallop of naunced information that most people wouldn't or couldn't bother explaining.
    The animation background in the back of my mind does nag at me wishing you would mention more about the complexity of walk cycles and the entire concept of any shape of grid's center of mass. which I will admit is probably not suitable for a first episode, but it definitely makes me look forward to your next episode.

    Oh, regarding leg design, I actually know of two mechs in science fiction that use bipedal swing legs
    The first one is the Castaferrum-pattern Dreadnought from Warhammer 40,000. You know, the boxy, stout one that everyone thinks of when you say "space marine dreadnought".
    The second is the Granite Grinder from LEGO Rock Raiders.
    One shared design element with these two mechs is that they have very large, wide feet.

    Captn_Klango [CCDF] here, of the xbox peasantry. Now at this point, I've been able to make some really badass mechs, however now, my only problem is finding someone to teach me how to make them go from a a walking motion, to a standing position, then back again. I have a small understanding of what in entails but some direction would b nice so just so that I could know whether or not I'm on the right track

      This will be covered in the last episode but the general idea is this: once you get your legs in a walking position, try reversing some joints to create an even idle stance. Keep track of all the joints you had to reverse to get into that stance, and trigger the group at the same time you trigger your walking. Make a stop timer that stops the walking and also triggers the idle stance group, to get back into it
