Thank you for this detailed and yet very easy to understand tutorial on setting up mods from Steam Workshop. I had subscribed to a few but noticed they didn't work...now I know why.

I found your channel as i'm considering whether to buy SE, and these series of mini tutorials are really helpful thanks!

Nice job! I'd really beef up armor & systems redundancy on anything I expect to survive protracted combat. Great showcase on using both automatons & signal content on builds! Looking forward to more of the 2024 series

WOW, that intro was OFF THE CHAIN!!! That took a LOT of time to do; much appreciated!!! I have a question about the use of antennas. Is a player relatively safe from pirate (or any faction really) by not building an antenna, or does it even matter whether or not you even have one? Another really fun adventure!

OH MY GOODNESS!!! This is AMAZING!!! So many ideas forming, so little time; better get started! I have a question about the power your lights use. I was under the impression that lights don't consume power, but use PCU (base points???) instead. Could you please confirm that? OH, and I forgot to mention that the INTRO was absolutely AMAZING! I was wondering if you used a "Sepia" color palette to make it. Also, it looked so '50s with that television border around it. Love what you do!

Hi there Demonata. Firstly, thank you for helping me get started with finally playing Space Engineers! Secondly, I have a question concerning the discarded stone. I use everything I mine, since it gives me iron, nickel, and silicon. What is your reason for spitting it out, unless I'm missing something. Thank you so much for posting this. Love your content so much!

This is how I know I'm too stoned and need to go to bed lol Thanks for putting the info survival kit being a refinery right in the beginning I've been playing this game since it came out, but I just sat there for 30 mins trying to figure out how to power a basic refinery and an assembler without the ability to build any of the components Now if only I could've figured out about the jump drives this quick before I spent an hour flying 1000m/s for a 24000km delivery, only to build a few of them mid flight and finish the other 99% of the distance in a few minutes 😂😂

Ah heck, my comment from yesterday didn't get posted. That was a cool initial montage with the BF1942 theme remix. Great job on clearing the Action List! You're surrounded by red beacons! Expect aggressive drones any minute now. Hehe, cooked that frame to death on takeoff You could do a Mod Collection on the Steam Workshop, add everything you're running on there, you add mods to it as needed, then you only need to link to a single thing on the description. Kind of the way other creators do. Lighting looks appropriate for indoor spaces on Mars, good job! Oh boy, try driving up or down that ramp during combat... Corridor layout looks good too, but I wonder how long it's supposed to be and what it leads to... Fantastic work on the scene/take transitions! Looking forward to seeing more

You like the colors, then there fine. Watched and Liked 👍

What are you talking about not feeling safe ....your in a red light district.. with lots of opportunities ....lol

Can you help me or make a mod to reduce spawning on xbox? I love the encounters but would rather see one a day or couple days then ever few minutes so I have time to build and pvp in between.

All hail the Bob , set Bob free, worlds greatest sidekick. Watched and Liked 👍

Heck yes! So the vfx experiment became the intro! I noticed the drilling noises and the rover running sound. FX sounded like a good fit for the footage. Music is pretty good too, the rock parts definitely reminded me of home improvement shows. That access ramp is gonna be so much fun on heavily loaded rovers. First I hear of a trader losing a safe zone and getting all shot up & dilapidated. Nice progress and updates from last episode. Looking forward to more adventures!

I appreciate your video. I was just curious as to whether or not you know why my wind turbine went missing after a night off from building. I have weather system activated as normal and I believe a lightning storm came through. It seems that my wind turbine tangled with a lightning bolt, that's just my assumption.. would I be correct to assume? Also if so, would a decoy be the best way to ensure my turbines protection? Or is there anything else I can do to protect them? Thanks for your help..

Is there a way to make a spawn area instead of them spawning so far from a player? I saw [Cordsz:]. Is that it? I just cant get it work so maybe not doing it right.

I'm thinking some noise or 'signal lost' vfx might help smooth out scene transitions, but that's just me. Nicely done! It really gave the feel of archival or found footage. It looks like you've started your way down the deep rabbit hole of sfx & vfx and I'm here for it!

So in this video I added custom sounds effects to create a little intro video. Sound effects include mono audio vinyl record sounds, drilling effects, vehicle effects, and vintage footage effects. Tell me what you think here in the comments and let me know what other effects I could potentially add to provide you with a better Space Engineers video.

Sooo.... wheres your gopher hole? highly suspecting creative and grinding down for the clips

6:21 On the rover hitting the tower base I half expected airbags deploying for comedic effect 21:30 Nice! Looking forward to a functional base, and I'll try to stick around & see every step of the process

Thanks

Didn't know there were so many ambience mods for SE. Great rundown! I also like the voxel texture mod. It should turn into more of a grass color at a distance, but that can possibly be fixed if the author tunes it. (There's like 3 different LODs for which you can use different textures.) I agree that the yellowish glow is probably from the grass. It is there in vanilla as well, just much less intense. The game, I think, records the scene around the camera to calculate an ambient light color for objects close to the camera. For the ones farther away it turns it off again, because it would be inaccurate. If you don't mind using plugins, I've recently released "Projected Lights" which uses the spot light code in SE and applies it to interior lights. I swapped the grated texture for some others I found in the vanilla game, widened the light cones and added copious amounts of bloom. 🙂I got the idea from playing Alien: Isolation which projected light textures instead of point lights almost everywhere. It is also pretty effective at stopping light bleed, because most or all of the light is now cast forward instead of in all directions equally. For the aquarium I also enabled shadows by default, because I couldn't resist. It's just so nice to see the fish swimming around casting shadows on the aquarium floor. 🐠🐟 The inset kitchen, inset light and lit passage are also technically "interior lights" as far as the game code goes. So a lot of the newer ships with DLC blocks look quite interesting with the plugin.

Can some please make a video on how to mod your nitrado paid server. I been looking for a video and I keep finding more videos like this on how to mod your local world. Please someone make one on how to do it.

Thanks! I couldn't figure out why i could grind and rebuild the light, but not the thruster. Still relevant!

cheers dude

thank you I must add you sound like dub shinji

You lost me. You went from here are the basics to ultra advanced with no practical reference. What was all that stuff? What's are you trying to accomplish with those parts? Were you making a drill rig? Totally confusing. It's a shame because you put so much work into this tutorial series and it just went off the rails.

Great video. Im stuck in paint mode and cant figure out how to do anything else haha. Time to watch the rest of your videos

Why did you do "Movie Magic" and not actually show what you did??? Tutorial fail.

What is the mod you use for the suit hud? It looks really good

Hey man, awesome video. Just wanted to know where I could find the template for the "FactionIconTextures.sbc" you have rather than re-writing out the entire code?

When using the jetpack, do you use W A S D to move Forward, Backward, Left and Right? Also, what key brings you back down to land? When you lie down on the ground to get a better view of things around your pod or whatever you're building, what button controls how to view either upside down or at an angle? I'll definitely need some actual hands on with the different types of orientation when working with the different blocks. Thank you for this episode!

Wow, that little bit of information has a HUUUGE impact on the game! Thank you so much for sharing with us!

Thank you so much for this quick getting started tutorial. I had no clue, and I'm going to be getting the game very soon. I loved how you broke down the basics so well by describing the check boxes and drop down menus. You've earned a subscriber tonight!

"So to do this we open our progression tree" and you assume we know how to do that. GRRRRR

i keep running out of oxygen! how do i take it out the bottle and into my suit? ps5???

It just occurred to me, next time I start out, I'm gonna build conveyor junctions right after refineries, assemblers and most cargo containers, that way they're easy to replace by sorters and enforce those white and black lists.

Do drones... I still don't understand drones... :)
