I remember one of my space engineer custom starts began in a giant warping space station ship that I built, but it ran out of power while flying through a gravity well and was crashing into the surface Really resource intense start, youd need a beefy computer to run it, but it was really fun trying to level the station with pistons, give it power again, fit it with atmospheric engines, and escaping the planet.

Soooo, havent forgot something? Caption says factum shiet? Where is it? Time wate for adhd guys

Made it to the end!! Loving all the 100 day challenges your doing ❤

3:44 I wish a few of these old stations were still around lol I loved the old layout as much as the new ones

I know this video is an old one, but not that old, to say that this is odd how people still do not fully comprehend the idea behind airlock :D

This game suffers badly from consolitis, but even still there are some baffling decisions in the GUI. For example why do you need to click what you want to fuel, click the type of fuel to use, then click the thing to fuel again? That's at least one extra click, two if they just defaulted to the 'best' fuel. Selling/buying stuff takes forever unless you're selling whole stacks. Doesn't even have a 'sell half' hotkey. Transferring items sometimes transfers the whole stack, but sometimes transfers all but one. Once you get the gunk out of those crashed pods you have to leave the interface, then go back in to actually get the non-junk stuff.

31:00 I had never seen a meteor shower before when I made my first Permadeath save. 20 hours in, my shields were low & I was about to recharge them when I spotted an odd red circle on the ground beneath me. Paused to have a moment of "Huh, what's that?" before being one shot by a meteor. And that's how I learned to assume that anything new in NMS is deadly until proven otherwise!

This doesn't talk at all about doing expeditions when you aren't starting a brand new save, but you did mention you don't need to do that. So I am assuming you can just join the expedition on your normal save and what is the downside? Are there restrictions or something? All it does is give you new objectives to complete with rewards and you can do all these things through normal gameplay, so.. this wasn't explained at all.

In case anyone wants to know, procedurely generated starships actually have a hidden 4th color option that we don't: undertint. Generally this is a shade of white or gray, but sometimes it's also a very faint blue, green, or red as well. This adds a lot more color variation for the ships. Unfortunately, we don't have that customization option! It's possible that your OG 99 Problems had an underint that made it look different from the options we have.

That was a joy to watch, fun to see starting from the literal ground up

I have mot played in a while (klang ticked me off). When you was grinding the unknown signal it said deleting unnamed block. is that a mod or an updated feature?

so, I go by the shape that's it I like to use the rock to shape the base so there never the same setup helps challenge me but that's me tho

the man grows trees as he walks talk about a green thumb this guy goes and gets green toes 🤣 show off

who ever said you were cheating for playing with friends is wrong this game is so much better with friends also i love this as it makes me remember all those rookie early errors i made

a good trick to keep the turrets under control would be to have one set to attack weapons and one set to attack propulsion which will take out all the thrusters and possibly wheels although im not sure about that. that'll stop the cargo shipments from running while keeping the cargo intact

What mods u rockin?

Please helppp , by mistake I push the block difficult settings .. and now I can't access it anymore .. how to unlock the menu again? 😢

You dont have a spy glass? Why

Totally missed your opportunity to name the base "B.o.B" (Box of Bob)

4096 is exactly 4 kilobytes. You always can update difficulty in settings to have no ground combat and just to collect eggs.

Bro I loved it but that 7 min 9 sec not 10 sec was on creative....and was bull. This is solid asf. Hell yes

OMG AFTER 8 YEARS I FINALLY FOUND THIS GAME THANKS TO STEAM

that heart sinking feeling when you hear an explosion and the ship you just worked on for 4 hours suddenly feels a lot more nimble than before...

I just do x10 carry weight because even at 10x you still make a bunch of trips to build stuff lol

This is soooooo relatable

I'm 60 seconds in, you have me hooked with the system shock 2 audio

25:58 i can already feel that those hydrogen tanks sre gonna blow up on you😂

Hi everyone, does Bob use mods for npcs? I have the feeling my world is much emptier. I also only have 60 hours so far and have only just got into space, but the only thing I can find are the encounters from the new update but no pirates or other npc ships for example.

I dont know, man. My first factorium trial runs used my (at the time) stadard heavy corvette and a small swarm of light drones i was already running with my frigate. ...it was enough to take on the smaller encounters but generally did not go well. So i went on to throw a few missiles into the mix. That was also a bust. Ultimately, the most reliable attack mode i found was building rc missiles for a first strike attack. Building a dedicated, agile destroyer capable of shutting down a factorium barage or high profile escort in a single volley. And deploying 2 AI driven, full-blown corvettes to provide further screening. After i did all that, i accidentaly discovered that my two AI drone corvettes were capable of knocking out a factorium warship on their own when set to hit and run tactics as they'd lead the factoriums own missile swarms back into the factorium warship. Though the corvettes themselves rarely survived a raid intact.

At the top of the video, im thinking, "That ships looking a little light to be squaring off against the factorium." 🤔 Well, i guess i'll see how it pans out i guess 🫣

1:00:07 bwaaa haaa haaa

just commenting to say I cant wait to see more of your videos. I'm seeing you get mentioned on reddit now right next to splitsie and zero in space engineers youtubers to watch! absolutely unreal how you don't have more views. keep up the good work!

is this Danny Mcbride?

I would remove the antenna and camera, add the forwards thruster back, and add enough batteries to keep full power even with 3 directions while shooting. It’s hard, but definitely doable, especially if you are willing to sacrifice on aesthetics. You can temporarily slap camera and antenna on for testing. The reason you want at least enough batteries for full power is because it will lose some in the fight, and the could be… bad. I also would recommend where possible spreading out the thrust more, so one shot doesn’t remove an entire direction of thrust. I would also make a small grid carrier drone, that has the projectors for making these, good thrust and armor, but remote controlled, so it’s more expensive, but you’re not risking as much. That would also make it much easier, as you would need 3 vehicles for full battles, and only 2 for the fighting part (## Drones, # Carrier Drones, and 1 large ship with a jump drive. That way it’s a lot less in the line so you can go out and explore more Factorum (NOT FACTORIUM) encounters. I also wouldn’t recommend the Missles, they are more of a “ideal world” type of thing, as rockets are cheaper than them, (and easier and harder to shoot down) and assault, artillery, and railguns (which themselves are bad) deal more damage and can’t be shot down, but with no AOE. I would recommend a weapons tier list video (I forget what it’s called) It included all guns/turrets, rocket launchers, custom turrets and warheads with no handhelds in the video. It helped me a lot. Okay bye now

Are there plans for Lunar Kolony to drop in the game via flaming escape pod or a flaming wreck of one of his fighters from a space battle at your location for a crossover teamup? I know you guys teased the idea of a coop in a comment at some point. I forget which video that was on though

2:36 “dude my cat is going shit nuts. buddy I don’t know if he’s in heat or what? He shouldn’t be i cut his balls off when I got him. I mean not me personally, but I paid someone to do it” BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

I was splitting a gut watching you deal with the runaway 🤣, something must have tripped it's flee protocol which sets the big thrusters to max override and that evacuate gyro to override. And yes, the original ship on the workshop was a minelayer named Sciurus by Bruce LeedleLeedleLeedleLee, I've restored mine to that setup. As always, great vid Bob. 👍👍

I love it😊

Is it possible to play Space Engineers as an RTS?

Epic video!

I’m watching this series to learn how to play this game lol, have no clue what I’m doing

11:19 How Can you get the machine to find ships

my way to keep from disconnecting with no power, is to but batteries on 8 and connector on 9. works for me

they didnt attack u till u started stealing from them. you are at fault. lol

the Flare Gun makes a great close quarters weapon. i scares the heck out of the enemy combatants

i dont carry a pistol. i carry a flare gun. great for close quarters combat

hi. i dont know how u figure out where to put stuff. that would drive me nuts.. enjoy your videos and get many ideas on projects. thanks

I have around 460 Hours in SE and I have never actually fought any battle except one or two skirmishes with Pirates. I have done Automatons drones for hauling cargo, so I understand the AI Flight, Record and Basic blocks and Landings, take offs, etc. Just added ACS and I am gettting ready to battle ASSERT .. starting to create some attack drones to patrol around my base. I'd though I'd get the Bob perspective on Drones :) I really enjoy your NMS and SE content, keep up the good work.

Aye firefly reference

Great video, loved every minute of it. Thanks for sharing Bob 🫡
