I play on a server where these NPC ships come out, thanks now I know how to stop it haha

So are these ships on survival? First time playing this game. And I haven't left the planet yet. But I didn't know if they were in a a survival game mode.

New meaning to dropshipping!

I just spent 4 hours building a sick ass ship in Creative mode only to find out the hydrogen generators are buffed, and now I have to scrap the hole thing :(

i think no red. use the copper. that would be fantastic

lol. and 4 is better, but idont see y u have those small forwad thrusters. u could just add 2 more large at the back. u have room and removing those skall ones u cleam up the look. again, just my opinion

if u felt the need for more forward thrust, i would add another large at the back. drop it down enough so u can use your connecter. just my opinion

lol. i think u do commentary just enough. i hate people who r in love with their own voice.good job

that copper coloi 1 of my new top 3 colors. thank you

hi. r the drills piped into the hydro tanks? i have not t tried that. interesting build. i like it. thanks

That's probably the most helpful video I've ever seen for space engineers

This how I designed most of mine mining rigs since forever but instead of many cargo holds I have just 1 for whatever I am mining (lets say iron) and a basing refinery for mats from stone. Iron goes directly to storage stone goes via sorter to refinery and mats go from refinery same storage as iron. It is reusable just as yours but I am not wasting time with hauling stone.

I’m trying to send hydrogen from a tank to a ship and I’m guessing I can’t do that through pistons and hinges right? How would I transfer the fuel?

Much simpler than my single drill auto miner. I use 2 pistons, vertical and horizontal, and 1 rotor. I do a full circle then extend the horizontal piston by 2.5m and do another circle. This goes on until after circling at 10m, where I extend the vertical piston by 0.5m. I repeat the process, but instead of extending the horizontal piston, I retract it. This is all controlled by like 12 event controllers so the process continues automatically until the vertical piston reaches its end or the containers are full. While it is cool to watch it follow this tightly controlled process, its a bitch to set up in survival because there is a bug where event controllers that are tracking piston position WILL NOT FUCKING WORK when they are built from a projector hologram. The only way I have found to fix this is to tear down the event controllers and rebuild and reprogram them. Not fun to do when I need to do this to 10 of them and they each have 4 or more actions that need to be exact. Had to create a doc just to keep track. My next build is going to be an oil rig style ice processing facility and its going to incorporate your drilling idea. I plan on playing with the drill dimensions to cover a larger area. Still need to experiment with that. I'll also be trying to implement a system that'll automatically add conveyor sections to extend the drill, like Kelevra's mining rig.

I just built this in my survival world, but I'm concerned that the piston won't have enough distance to make it down to where the ores are. I also built wheels onto the legs with an underhanging cockpit so I can move it around, though I haven't tried driving it quite yet. I have piston outriggers with landing gear so that I can raise and lower them to attach/detach from the ground. I'm gonna try to take the middle cargo container out and builder pistons higher up through the middle so I can get the drill to go deeper to get to the ores. I was thinking some kind of rotor/piston set up that will change the rotor angle and piston length at the same time to raise/lower the drill. Problem is gonna be getting the math right to make sure the pistons are pistoning and rotors rotoring at just the right time to not break stuff. Thanks for the inspiration :D

How do you make it spin while also going down without touching it.

Does going out and fighting Parallaxa ships increase the chances of them hiting your base or does it not matter?

If I did the math right it takes 8.333 hours to fill a large hydrogen tank, I better have made a mistake

thank you so much ive been trying to make a good ship fpr so long and this is the best video ive been able to follow along to. the ship is awesome and gives me a much better idea of how to make my own! thanks friend

wait im confused, can you connect smaller conections to bigger ones?

I built the mining rig and set the settings as listed in the vid. Twice broke off the drill as I found out, the upper rotor is going too slow and by the time it gets round the second half of the hole, the piston has pushed it down far enough, it will brake the drill. I've tested it at .006 (instead of .003) and still broke the drill. I found if you set the upper rotor to 0.10 it will spin the upper rotor fast enough and have no breakage. I've tested it several times now at this speed and it works fine. I use my drill in space and primarily to drill ice. I added a hydrogen engine with an event controller to fire it up when batteries get below 90%. Also added a pair of hydrogen tanks with 2 02 Generators because I can...lol Fills the hydrogen cargo ship up when picking up the ice for delivery. All in all, great design and now that the upper rotor speed has been changed, works perfect. Thx

kairow pods huh?

at 7:35 you talk about the ports, could you use a conveyer converter to connenct them? and does hyogren travel through conveyors?

Man, all of these really great ideas. All i wanna do is swap out the LG for wheels but i have to learn to build a rolling vehicle first. Any chance you could help outwith that?

Brilliant! Im suprised you didnt name it, "The Spirograph." GREAT idea. 👍

Video hurt soft inside head squishy stuff... (as i drag my knuckles along the floor)

Your mastery over the game/pieces-parts, boggles the mind. Im still trying to figure out how to use symmetry. 😂 I should mention... I'm a console pleb as of late. 🤐

Wooo! Your PC was PISSED about that one. 😂

Dude. That was really cool. Bare in mind, im fairly new to the game. I didnt even know that i didn't know that you could steal those ships. How many attempts did it take for you to become so efficient at it? 🍻

First space engineer I subbed to, clear and concise. No fluff. Thank you

Are you sure about consuming a chip every time you switch off/on the safe zone? Because I am playing right now at the official Keen servers and when I switch off and on again, not only the old ship is not consumed, but also the remaining time of the last chip that was used is being displayed. As I am testing right now the current chip is put in a "freeze state" as soon as you turn off the safe zone block.

From what I've noticed, if and when you rebuild your antenna and/or beacon, I tend to disable them. If you don't, space pirates within the range of those signals can identify your signal and come to attack you while you are hacking the ship.

I thought only Homer Simpson said "nucular" reactor...

Me who somehow figured out what to get infanent ammo from enemies turrets lol

I love the straightforwardness of this video lmao. No waffle, no drama, just casually shooting a hole in the matrix. Subbed.

Did they all fire?

Wall of DEATH

Cool beans

beautiful idea for pvp servers xD

In survival?

Dude!! that was cool

I usually make a cargo truck with a build on site drill packed onto the bed of the truck. I like this drill set-up, though. It will save space for more pistons

I would probably add a cargo container.

batteries dont store 1mw. they store 1mwh wich is entirely different. 1mwh means that if you have a power output of 1mw on the battery it wil deplete in 1 hour if its 2mw in 30 minutes etc

The blueprint can be found here: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3207032173

My friend and I did this several times. We were learning about conveyors and hydrogen systems and he loved the ship so win win. The only problem we had was grinding and repairing failed for some reason so we had to gut the ship completely. Needless to say we learned a lot that day lol

Ooh, you just gave me an idea to increase their efficiency, depending on your needs. If you want to build one to use as a portable dock: build it out of Large grid, deploy it on ice, have some O2/H2 Generators on the top of cargo, going into a couple Hydrogen Engines, and a couple Hydrogen Tanks and maybe an O2 tank (if you want it, that part is entirely optional) to store the refined gasses. This would work to refill ship batteries (more Hydrogen Engines=Faster charging, so if you use primarily battery powered ships this would still work for those too, you just have to adjust the formula as necessary to your needs). You could place the connector somewhere up high, like on the top of one of the H2 tanks. That way picking up and moving the rig would be easy, and once it's placed it would fully serve it's role as a portable docking station. Ice empty? Just pick the drill up with a ship and relocate. Miner: Large grid, still need the power generation setup, but for this one you could put a Refiner on it, doesn't need to be anything fancy you could go Basic Refinery or if you wanted to go all-out just slap a reg Refiner with max Yield mods. Then you do the sorter-connector gravel dropper to remove any of the gravel the Refineries make, so you squeeze every last drop of resources like Silicate, Iron, and Nickel that you want out of the stone and leave the bare rock behind.

I think you forgot the cargo container?

I try to keep my mining ships as streamline as possible for deep mining, also highly recommend ExcavOS script for mining lcds. It is excellent and easy to configure.

Seeings how this is a 2 year old video, I'm sure someone mentioned it already, but right behind the downward facing docking port would be a great place for an ORE Detector!!!! LOL.... Kinda hard to mine when you don't know where the ore is. Just busting your chops. Great build bro! I really love that you taught so many ppl the quick tips on build-menu management. I wish someone would have told me all those things a long time ago! You deserve more viewers, but you Earned my SUB with this build, brother!
