Great episode, I had the opposite problem to you and have Magnesium but very little uranium so went with Artillery instead of railguns.

You included the decoy welder in the defensive welder group that gets turned off if enemy isn't in range. You use & weld a new decoys before they get in range, so you might want to remove that welder from the group. I've seen people use timers to delay one rail gun in a turret so they're not both firing at the same time. If the enemy dodges one shot (and they fire at the same time) they dodged both, but if one is delayed by a second or two, there's a greater chance one shot might hit it's mark. This may have been covered/tried before, but would a bit of Gyro override help reduce/stop the drift that's been happening? You could use an Event Controller to turn on the beacon & antenna whenever the drone is launched and turn off when the drone is docked again. Then you wouldn't have to remember to always turn them on/off, unless there's other conditions that you'd want them active for. Since you have so much H2, you could also use an Event Controller to turn on the H2 engines after using a Jump Drive, and then shut them off again when batteries are charged up to whatever level you want to configure it for.

The dream sequence was a delicious side-trip from the main storyline! Well done, my friend!

Oh my goodness, so much work and not getting the materials you were hoping for! Congratulations on the first explosive success! I have to agree with Wellington that the decoys deserve a compliment! Such a great addition to your arsenal of no direct fighting so that the ship survives! Fun Episode!

"If in doubt... CHEAT" A Mozo classic. 😆

Nice job with the GRINDing sequence! Liked the music.

Im a bit late here but maybe it'll help in the future. Instead of doubling back with straight conveyors you could have used more pistons and gotten more speed out of the launcher if needed.

Loved the dream sequence! another successful episode.

No worries on the video length. It may be short compared to the normal length you do, but it was still a quality video. Turning a game crash into "nightmare footage" was a neat twist. I too, was surprised to learn you could syphon from a Neutral, too bad they didn't have anything really worth taking. Thanks for the upload, it was still worth the watch time.

Happy New Year! I never knew that you could syphon bits out of neutral ships like that, I may have to give it a try.

When adding thrusters, mag attach to bottom of thruster and put in from outside of ship.

Hacking chip may need power to components to hack them. Mag doesnt give power, connecyer does

Happy New Year guys. thanks for the laughs. looking forward to the ship/base enlargement. good night grandpa

Man, I love the music

Are you guy playing with progression and by any chance some welders are owned by nobody? Another case can be a typical bug where a BP needs to be loaded again into the projector. But this bug usually won't let you weld any block

Man, the lag is real. Yeah, that way it's just impossible to fight any enemy. Tho, it's still a fun series. Love, how you both tease each other 🤣

CoDo was mentioning something about not having an O2 supply without ice... Alien Planet has very low O2 (not None)... so you can set up a vent to depressurize into a tank and it will very slowly draw a little bit of O2 from the atmosphere. It will likely take 3-4 vents to keep up with the needs of 2 players, similar to how multiple O2 farms are required per person in space. Setting one/some up on your ships can do the same for the cockpit. I strongly dislike bases/outposts like that... buried and requiring much effort, only to be void of anything of real value. The "missing" conveyor block could very well be a result of the printer piston moving too fast (you did stop it to move it slower manually) and the welding wall just couldn't get it, rather than it being a blueprint error. The other missing blocks on the outside in the same area of the ship kinda lean towards that theory. Expanding the base ship lengthwise after expanding to the sides sounds like a reasonable idea. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year lads! Very enjoyable episode, I'm looking forward to seeing you take that beastie into space! I have been having issues with one of those SPRT bases recently and have just made a tank to take it on. Oh the new connector block will be in the next update for SE (they showed a tease video with it in) but we haven't been told when its dropping yet.

Great music in the intro...can anybody tell me what it was

Awesome work keep it up

Shift p to grab a color of a block would be your friend

Happy New year to you and the family. Sorry I wasn't able to watch this yesterday but it seems watching KZbin when the family is over is frowned on lol.

I was full of hope after that first Leeroy Jenkins Maneuver, alas going to have to figure out some other way of dealing with those mines. I was a little sidetracked watching, so didn't see exactly what was up with the gravity sensors, but how I set mine up was inside sensor triggers timer 1, which turns on gravity and stops timer 2. Outside of sensor starts timer 2, which turns off gravity after XX delay. Also must compliment you of the decoy launcher, the reliability of the mechanism and your calm approach to launching really does show in the consistently successful outcome.

Thanks for a great, entertaining year of Space Engineers videos ! Looking forward to next year !

You might get away with shooting the sensor, IF you're a good shot. I can assure you, I am not 🤣 Have a great new year Mozo. Wish you and your loved ones all the best for it. Stay healthy, safe and if possible... happy 😎

I'm trying to recall why you're wanting to turn the grav gens on/off via sensors. Power system can't support the power draw, or was there something else that they couldn't just stay powered on? Bummer that you only got the red magnesium, I think you referred to it as Iron, I know you wanted the good stuff. Ah well, maybe next pirate or derelict crash.

First of his videos in my recommendations

Things that make you go boom...

HAPPY NEW YEAR MOZO. going to listen to some of your music later. thanks

The reason you are having so many issue is because this is "Space" engineers and you two are on a planet.

With the restrictions of this scenario, you might actually get back home before you get more than just a couple little scraps of Magnesium. I'm putting in an advance request for you to port the ship into the next series somehow, and outfit her proper. With the ability to acquire resources as needed, I'd love to see all your defenses working in concert to take out an enemy ship. Pistons pushing out a Dumb Drill Torpedo (DDT) can't offset your forward speed, but simply turn it into the equivalent of the slow car in the fast lane (especially when you're moving 80+ m/s). One idea that "on paper" seems like it might work, and that is to have a small H2 tank, a thruster, a gyro, and an AI block that sets the torpedo in motion towards the enemy. Once it gets up to speed, it then disconnects (I'm thinking unlocking a mag plate rather than merge block) to let the "invisible payload" continue on to the target. A bit more costly to build, but if you're not starving for key resources, it sure seems like it could be more effective. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you & your loved ones.

You are a very brave soul, Mozo! While about 7 km away from you, you tore a HUGE hole in the rear of your ship, and you weren't moving. I WAS SCARED TO DEATH!!!! Question: is the nose of your "dumb missile" (rocket?) made of heavy armor, I hope? I have a suggestion: park your ship with a GPS marker and take out the little yellow ship to scout around for maydays. If you do commit, send the ship out for some reconnaissance, perhaps just 10km radius from your mothership. you may just find some good stuff out there with magnesium. We wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. May all of your dreams come true, and may God bless you both abundantly.

Good stuff Mozo. If you need magnesium and don't mind a little piracy, sometimes the mining class trade ships have some ore in their cargo hold, if you can dock a ship to them and set your connector to collect, some of it may 'accidentally' end up in your cargo hold. Anyways, convenient to see one of those RS1217's, I currently have one sitting 30km off my starboard bow, so got the inside knowledge. Season greeting and all that malarky 🎄🎄🎄

I'm just hoping you find the magnesium you need, I want to see how effective those missiles are. I may need to make a missile or two to take out a planet based SPRT based in my game. Merry Christmas and happy new year!

Just found your channel love the content have a good holiday and new year

He names his ships like George Foreman names. His kids.

lol a good chuckle "oh that one" lol

Some nice progress chaps! Keen just announced the next update will have a "Large grid inset small connector" so hopefully that should remove some of the jank from using small connectors to attached to large grid. I cant wait to see you attack the pirate base.

Haha, that turbine leg really is haunted. Better stay away from it, otherwise it might use it's chance to kill you one day 🤣 Edit: well, it's gone... gooooood 😁

2nd viewer of this update.

Really love what you've done so far.

What about you drop a hulk in to your enemy while in persute

A couple of nice captures there Mozo and one hell of an explosion on that Havelock. I'm guessing you took out its jump drive and maybe a hydrogen tank or two. Glad to hear you got through the storms in more or less one piece.

i would of tried to find the entrance get inside and start taking out batteries gyros or the glory pot AI blocks you hit it so hard it went brain dead lol...

OH MY GOODNESS, what an amazing HAUL on this episode! Is that a full-sized railgun, or the small block version? I can't remember. Loved how you bored a hole through the ship until you hit the hydrogen tank (or was it explosive warheads?), and it exploded! Love your channel!

now that's a nice salvage Mozo. but that drill idea i think try small grid drill with a thruster override and gyro one small battery that should work better just an idea i was playing around with it its faster and more accurate. but yes it works for me i don't know if you want to try it.
