Space Engineers Survival (Episode 13) - Conquering the AMG Sandstorm! [2024]

[@Torukoseki]

If you save and repair the Sandstorm it should be renamed into the Snowstorm! 🌨️

[@KD-469]

Or "Blizzard"

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Hahahaha I love it!

[@davidshafer1872]

NEVER RENAME A SHIP! Its bad luck.

[@damianstirling7553]

Your tunnel drilling ship should be called the frother, and the drones should be called coffee beans if you're trying to keep to a coffee theme that it's. Personally, that's is.

[@SenseiRyuuji]

To coast on the ships, you simply need to make a group with all the foward facing thrusters and, whenever you want to coast, you turn that group off. That will make you glide using only your momentum. You just need to remember to turn the group back on when you want to break.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Beeblebum]

Lol.. I had a bad feeling when you shot the camera of that turret... I was like; "that's gonna bite him in the..." and I could not even finish my sentence. 😂 Btw, When building these Ball turrets, I prefer to add the small head to the hinge (using the option), then add a few blocks with a magplate to that, lock it to the floor, grind away the hinge head again and replace it with a small hinge head - so easy to attach without risking your drones or ships. (This probably does not make sense at all... lol)

[@Galerak1]

yeah, that moment when panic mode sets in 🤣

[@DizzyDJW]

It hurts me though to see him only use 4 turrets when you can fit up to 8 on a custom turret. I even have one I've personally published to the workshop with 6 autocannons and 2 gatlings on the same head, and a small grid custom turret controller inside.

[@STSWB5SG1FAN]

If you already have the small hinge head installed on the hinge body, why are you grinding it down again?

[@Galerak1]

@@STSWB5SG1FAN because adding small hinge head adds the large grid version. Beeble's method allows you to add the small grid hinge head to the large grid hinge body easily. He has a video on it, check it out 👍

[@Beeblebum]

@@STSWB5SG1FAN Because the small hinge head you add from the options (or menu or Build Vision) is a small grid Large hinge - You want the small grid Small Hinge.

Put those welders in the hanger on pistons, that way the can move the length of a ship while docked. I would love to see you bring the Sandstorm back to base. Then you can repair it and fly off that moon.

[@PachaJosh]

Bringing the scrap of the lookout tower behind you is such a power move.

[@darthbuzz1]

I am loving this series and I will certainly be checking out your other playlists. Very entertaining and I would easily watch a 2 hr long video. Thank you.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

It might just come to that! It seems like each episode gets slightly longer than the last 😅

[@colingraves7553]

Crazy idea for CoFeNi. What if it was a "Starship" base. Space faring vessels can hide out under the ice. Just an idea

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Oooo I like that idea!!

[@colingraves7553]

If you decide to salvage the AMG Sandstorm. Maybe limp it to CoFeNi and repair it in a "Repair Bay" as if she was set up on rigging?

Actually, they didn't use bulbs on search lights in WW2. They used carbon arc lamps which were a very stark bluish white. My dad used to repair them and at one point was tempted to purchase one from McClellan AFB in Sacramento, CA, where I was born. [I wasn't specifically born on a search lamp, naturally, but I was born at Mercy General Hospital in East Sacramento]

[@STSWB5SG1FAN]

Those things required a lot of power, would the average US household back then have enough juice to run one🤔🤨 Plus I'd think that even if you got it operational, you'd run into the problem of airplanes mistaking your driveway for a runway and always attempting to land🤭😏 Edit Blue-white now we know which color we should set the searchlights to

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

@@STSWB5SG1FAN A carbon arc torch can operate on as little as 3 KW to produce a beam as much as 3 miles. Which, by the way, when converting into altitude is 15,840 feet. The high powered 10 KW arc beams can readily light up stuff in low orbit [based on a factor where confining power into a really tight beam like that can greatly increase its total range, along with specially ground first surface mirrors]. So basically, a 1.9x power boost, along with the right mirror arrangement can actually triple the potential range from 1:1 to 1.9:1 and reach as much as 19 or more miles up [100,320 feet plus] depending on atmospheric conditions. So yeah... A carbon arc search light can really help you spot enemies way out there, for relatively low power. (~_^)-b

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

@@STSWB5SG1FAN Nobody is going to mistake a search light for an airstrip. And I don't have a driveway. I live in a box canyon. Only planes ever gunna land out here are already falling from the sky without the pilot's approval. And my farm runs on 300 amps worth of service, which at 220 volts is 66 KW, so I could run 6 space faring spotlights and still run the fridge, the microwave, all 3 computers, the air conditioner and the well pump without throwing a breaker.

[@STSWB5SG1FAN]

@@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542 I dunno, during the '40's lots of planes were mistaking ground lights and street lights for runway lights. I've even heard that a USAAF bomber had run into the Empire State building because the pilot claimed he couldn't see it. Anyhow that was back then, this is now. All large commercial transports have onboard radars and GPS systems to aid them , so unless some joker wanted to buzz your house for fun, there should be no problems. 😆☺😏

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

@@STSWB5SG1FAN As a former USAF global geopolitical intelligence agent working in pararescue, I was on the flight line more than many non-pilot flight support personnel. Pilots are trained first to know how to navigate, second, rely on their instruments, third, air control systems which are constantly in contact with them. Unless its some novice individual who has no legitimate piloting training and experience, there is no way they will mistake a search light for an airport stationing beacon. Even if every instrument on your plane failed, the green and white rotating beacon can never be mistaken for a search light.

[@mihaipuscasu7357]

So... attacks on base will ramp up. Set more turrets quicker, and as an idea, maybe some decoys buried under heavy armour and on top of a welder preferably a few blocks away from anything you don't want blown up 😊

[@JohnyTehpr0]

I don't usually comment but I gotta say that I enjoy the series very much. Great job, Andrew. BTW glad to see the AMG Sandstorm back under your flag.

[@deanlawson6880]

Great episode! SO good that you were able to "conquer" the AMG Sandstorm again! You gotta do something fun with the Sandstorm for the Ep.13 coming up!!

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

Sandstorm for tha WIN! The enemies would be SKEERT of this thing! You might want to make more reinforced face area on the front [like making multiple layers of glass in the bridge]

You should totally repair the sandstorm. It'd be a fitting project to repair and refit the old ship into something with more teeth.

[@Christhulhu]

You could build a carrier witch has a generator, a med bay, bigger cargo and a platform to carry your fighter. for missions like that. :3 Aaaand u coul let crash land big red on that moon as well. For nostalgic reasons. :D

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Glad to be of service :)

[@CharlesNaude]

Those welders in the hanger would work well with projectors set up as repair projectors. Dock ship turn on projector and welder should put back missing blocks

[@Jollyhoy]

When the welder ship flipped out, it was possibly because the hinge was off 180° on the Z-axis and the unlocked hinge + rotor allowed things to move when attaching. Hinges have a tick marker on their 'front' side which helps to avoid this situation if you did not already know.

[@matthewsykes4814]

I haven't played SE in a long time... a loooong time. I may have to play it again after watching this.

[@fredpryde8555]

thanks for sharing awesome

[@CharlesNaude]

Oh also id recomend repair projectors at the solar towers as well make set angles for everything then blueprint. It shoul blueprint entire base so only one projector in the center maybe in the tunnel should work

[@quasaryfox6564]

i can't wait to see you builing a ship like THAT, to go in space...

just make the hanger into two hangers.. to stop venting the entire base.. what if you had people in there man..! what if.. haha also, add decoys nearby the bases and solar array.

[@filmerluke9413]

If you have the blueprint for the sandstorm you should use a projector onboard to make the repairs easier, will take you all day to repair it without

[@Tyradius]

What if you added gimbals to the auto cannons so they could point inwards more and center their fire. Can you lock them so they don't move? Would make hitting targets at range more accurate. But you would have to sight them in at a certain range for both circles to overlap.

[@bobblehead3354]

Well that was fun. Finally caught up with the series. I was wondering about your fighter. Do you think putting a gatling on the front (nose) of it might help when you get into close range battle? It seems like gatling ammo would last longer for the price of the magnesium. Just a thought. Nice series, looking forward to the next episode. By the way, did you notice that at the very bottom of the scaffolding on the Sandstorm it appeared to descend into the ground (ice) below the ship? Looked like there was a ladder going down under.

[@cyclopsmymmy9951]

You may need to reduce the range for the turrets that have special ammo

[@noahcorlett6023]

you should repair the sandstorm enough to be able to fly it back to the base and then it would be easier to either rebuild completely or scrap it

[@AndrewmanGaming]

That's not a bad idea. Lots of the original H2 thrusters are completely gone, but it is Europa so it might not take much to get it to fly again.

[@dandanthegarbageman6]

There was a 2nd cargo container in the little building you got the rifle out of

Oh was there? I'll check again!

Get the Sandstorm with minimal propulsion to get it to base and salvage there. Or... rebuild it....

[@MorbinNecrim86]

Nicely done! Um, with the fighter, did you have a projector on it for auto repairs? Another great episode!

[@AndrewmanGaming]

I should really add one of those lol

[@SmokinNaners]

Maybe you should put the welder on a piston so it can move out and reach the other end of the ship

Save and repair the Sandstorm

[@mzzrlaraz5886]

U really should repair AMG and reused it as a musem, or u could reused it as an exploration ship to the space to get some material that isn't available at the planet basically turning it into a huge cargo ship to space, i mean it already have a miner ship on it, making the AMG Sandstorm as a space cargo vessel means u won't need to go to space frequently to get material

This is my personal opinion, but I don’t thing you should use the AMG sandstorm. Maybe use it for resources, but I feel like it defeats the purpose of a new series if you use the same stuff. Maybe scrap it for resources, but I think it would be cool to leave the exterior the same so it looks to the nonexistent people of the future in this world that the ship crashed, and some random scavengers took all the valuable stuff and left the shell.
