My obscure tip to add is that while "Door" and "Offset Door" can pass air through them, no oxygen seems to actually be stored in their block space. This means that while an airlock made from two back-to-back sliding doors will vent out two blocks' worth of oxygen into space every time you go through it, the same kind of airlock but made instead with offset doors (or normal doors if you don't have Frostbite) will keep all of the air inside (when operated correctly). This can be kind of useful if you don't like "Keen airlocks" but still don't feel like building a fully proper airlock, and hate venting oxygen into space. Great video btw, thanks for the tips!

Small personal hack: If you're using a docking camera on a small grid ship connecting to a large grid, when you build the large grid connector orient it in a way that the little side lights will be in line with where your camera will be on the small grid ship. Those side lights make great aiming references. For example at 14:47, I would rotate that large grid connector by 90 degrees so that one of those side lights is on top, and now the camera will be staring directly at it. It will also help with seeing the connection status.

My tip is use ai modul. Very very annoying to me when i need to docking. ( specially when the docking place is moving. Like a mother ship or etc.) I just use ai modul instead my docking skill. Or another tipp i using docking arms in my base. when my ship in position ( AI) docking arms get my ship. And a piston connecting to my ship. Ai thing a little effort. But longer campaign is usefull.

A nice quality of life upgrade I've done for a few years now on my smaller ships is a 1-button startup/shutdown... well, really 2, as it's 2 timer blocks. Shutdown is pressed after I dock with a connector. It shuts off all the gyros, antennas/beacons, thrusters, lights, etc., and sets batteries to recharge, and O2/H2 tanks set to stockpile. Startup is the same thing in reverse, switching everything on, then unlocking the connector. With the Automaton update, I was able to make it even more seamless by setting up event controllers. Now, when I dock with a connector, shutdown sequence occurs. I still prefer a manual startup, which ensures everything is running before disconnecting the connector. It makes life much nicer aboard my ship, and doing quick outings.

I didn't know about the range difference between the antenna and decoys for lightning strikes. I'm never counting on an antenna for lightning defense again. I knew about curved block airlocks before, but I really liked seeing how you implemented them in your ship. You have airtight integrity between sections of your ship, like watertight integrity on IRL naval vessels.

Yeah, decoys are the way to go. Sectioning up your interior also allow the airtightness calculations to be easier (making it bug out less often). It can be necessary for very large or complex spaces.

I knew most of them but did not know about the seat having a target lock detection. An addition to the door closing repeater that can be done: if you never want to have the door closing in your face but don't want to wait 20 seconds, you can add an event controller that detects the opening of all the doors and then it starts the timer to close all the doors, you can set it up to 3-5 seconds instead of 20 seconds. My favourite thing to do on any ship I pilot: is to make a group of all the breaking thrusters and have them turn on/off on the first control bar (I always set it up at position 9). That way you can save a lot of energy\fuel by just gliding, and the nose is always pointing in the direction you are going: which is better than turning off the dampeners in 0 gravity

I must say, I'm mostly critic, and while those ideas are fairly known for long time players, you explained it absolutely well and added some bonuses. I wasn't fully aware of the air tight blocks, which can save you 125 pcu instead of a door. Superb. As a mini cherry on top, you might have could said for your periscopes, they can't be projected (from their main grid), as they are a subgrid. Veterans know this ofc, but I saw a few new comers in the comments. Splendid work overall.

I've well over 1k hours in the game and you just explained something I ran into only a couple days ago! I was positioning a blueprint and it vanished. I thought I took too long to position it, but every time I reloaded the blueprint it would instantly vanish. I thought the block was bugged so I ground it down and replaced it, making sure I checked the box in time so I wouldn't run into (what I thought was) a bug again. I had *no* idea it was the *alignment* that was making it go away! (I always thought it was timer based) Thank you! Also, I've seen demonstrations of the curved block airlock before, but they were usually quite awkward looking. You did a nice job incorporating them into your design. I may just start using them now. 😀👍

For the decoys, yes the lighting will hit the decoy as you have stated but it also has an AOE for damage. Now this AOE can be negated by placing the decoy on a sub grid. The reason is that indirect damage does not travel through sub grids.

What I use instead of just a timer for my doors is an event controller along with a timer block. Any time a door on my base is opened the event controller starts the timer block of 5 seconds to close all doors on the base/ship. The reason I don't use the timer block by itself is because there are annoying times when you go to open the door just as the timer block activates to close the doors on you.

Most of these, I’ve encountered over my years of playing SE, but there’s still stuff to learn here! The turret range increase via defense block is handy for static grids. I used something similar to the periscope in one of my last builds, just sans piston for space constraints. And probably the most useful is the way you use keen airlocks; I’d heard of them before, but always thought they were necessarily ugly and not viable for aesthetic builds. That’s one I’m glad to be proven wrong on.

1-9 are all great tips, which I use all the time as well. #10 is an exploit, as that isn't the intended behavior of those blocks, but I can see in the case you suggested (you have friends that don't wait for your airlocks and constantly vent everything) it is a reasonable solution that doesn't break immersion too badly. Nice work!

Man, the 'airlock cheat' blew my mind... The amount of times I have vented the ship because I was too fast/careless is staggering. I will use that trick on my next build. Massive thanks! Also - 'reverse camera+controller' - so easy but I have never though about it. I had reverse cameras and used them but it's sometimes tricky. I wish keen has introduced the direction option to the movement AI and recorders. Making autodocking for the grids that need to reverse to the connector sucks.

Regarding the doors one: You can prevent the doors from shutting in your face completely by having an event controller check if the group of doors is open, and if it is, start a timer block with a 5-10 second delay that closes that group. That way, if any door is open in that group, the timer block will close them after 5-10 seconds of them opening. I checked this, it should work.

Works really nice!

Great vid Shifty! I don't use the Keen airlocks; always thought they were a bit cheaty, but I quite like your take on them. Especially the one combined with stairs. Very cool! Keen airlocks are in fact so sneaky, I'll have to check my HQ if I haven't accidentally placed random airlocks around the place. lol I use a lot of ECs. I build small grid servers on Hinges with those conveyor access doors. They're stuffed with TBs, ECs, PBs,... Every Door has a dedicated EC. This way I can create airlocks easily. If a certain door is opened, then specific doors close. Endless possibilities. Edit: Also, I find it quite annoying walking peacefully through pressurized areas with my helmet open and suddenly suffocating because I'm in the space of an airtight block. On my main Exploration ship I control it from an Industrial Cockpit, which sits inside a Round Window bubble. Which again is encased in other window blocks which presents the cockpit from the outside. (Cockpit in a cockpit in a cockpit if you like). I can walk around the industrial Cockpit freely but must close my helmet first... meh!

I usually use the Keen airlocks in places where you won't notice them. They do break immersion for me. I need to experiment more with Event Controllers. I'm sure they have tons of uses I have yet to discover. As long as the main parts of my rooms are airtight I can overlook small spots where it's broken. I try to avoid it, but it's not always worth sorting out for me.

wow. So decoys act as lighting rods too? THAT is nice to know. Your method for door closing is interesting; I enjoy my automatic doors made with sensors and timers because I never have to open OR close them, but that does require a setup for each door. Yours is likely less performance intensive when scaled up to larger grids. Can't believe they STILL haven't fixed the airtight windows bug though.

So for #8 (the door closing repeater), I actually do it slightly differently. I have an event controller that checks for if any door is open that I want to auto close. When it detects any open, it starts a 5 second timer, which then closes the door. If all doors successfully close, then all is set, but if a door fails to close, it repeats the 5 second timer again.

The window airtightness has been like that for at least 5 years, and just last update they added more blocks that do the same thing. There's probably core code that makes it that way. Then again, the last time they tried to change anything about it was when they planned to remove the oxygen mechanic alltogether. Ever since then the airtightness of many blocks has been buggy, and none of it has ever been fixed. I honestly wish they cared more, but I wouldn't hold my breath on this one.

Yeah, you can slap one on front, or use a turret. However; if your ship is better off staying level in gravity, or you want to look around while traveling straight, the periscope is superior. That's why I used it in Small Grid Only.

You should be able to disable 3rd person in the world settings (I think). If not I'm sure there's a mod for it. XD

The large grid one is not, most of the small grid ships are though.

Отличная игра. Я с другом играл в неё когда она вышла, но к сожалению разработчики не хотят развивать свой проект и не занимаются рекламой игры.

Игра определенно нуждалась бы в доработке, но сейчас она значительно лучше, чем была при первом выпуске. Если у вас есть доступ к модификациям, они действительно выведут игру на новый уровень.

18:39 timer blocks are a nice quick way to auto close your doors but if you have the room sensors work better because you can go completely hands free with doors opening and closing for you and you don't have doors closing in your face because you opened a door 2 sec before the timer activated.

Yeah, sensors are nice. I use them in airlocks, but I'm too lazy to set them up for every door.

these airlocks... are bullshit.... they call this buggy mess dlc?

@ShiftyshadowTV 28 күн бұрын
The DLC just uses the same programming as the vanilla versions. 90% of the airlocks like that are vanilla, not DLC. But yeah, airtightness has never been a priority for KEEN. They even tried to get rid if it entirely at one point (changed their mind due to backlash from the community).

@@ShiftyshadowTV if i would have known, what the DLC Ladder blocks, do to my mental, i wouldnt have argued about the open door airlock syndrom omg, these ladders are missing essential puzzle pieces, in order to make them work with a somewhat functioning railing, i had to slap a halfslap catwalk on the backside, a full one on the underside, and a solid block on the opposite site. my brain melted , trying to make that thing work on a visual 2 block scale. i now totally believe without checking out that 90 % of the airlocks like that are vanilla, because the ladders suffer from the same sickness. 21 dlcs all based on unfinished buisness. as if they never played their own game. essential stuff like, why cant i hang a lightbulp to the ceiling, when im walking on a catwalk? their logic kills me. same with pipeworks, in the middle of the room is a T junction wich seems to have 2/3 of the size of a normal block, no catwalk fits underneath and no light on top, that should all be placable in the same blockgrid. i dont understand their issues, they made it work with blastdoors, why is the rest of it not the same?
