Space Engineers Survival (Episode 1) - A Cold New Start! [2024]

[@lord_kinbote3920]

I like how the drill's ore detector conveniently tells you that there's ice nearby.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Ikr it's being very helpful there!

15:49 and 37:31 "Mi" is not on periodic table and short for Magnesium, it is Mg lol like on a first GPS you put with Silicon ;D If someone is interested, here are all the resources we use in vanilla space engineers: Fe - Ferrum (Iron) *** The name "Ferrum" comes from the Latin word for iron. It is an ancient name that has been used for centuries. *** Si - Silicon *** The name "Silicon" comes from the Latin word "silex," meaning flint or hard stone. It reflects the hard and brittle nature of the element. *** Ni - Nickel *** Name comes from German word "Kupfernickel", which translated means "Devil's Copper" Co - Cobalt *** The name "Cobalt" is believed to come from the German word "kobold," meaning goblin or evil spirit. Miners in the 16th century encountered this metal while extracting other ores, and the difficult nature of extracting useful metal from it was likened to the tricks of a mischievous goblin. *** Mg - Magnesium *** The name "Magnesium" is derived from Magnesia, a region in Thessaly, Greece, where a mineral called magnesia alba (now known as magnesite) was first discovered. *** Ag - Argentum (Silver) *** The name "Argentum" is the Latin word for silver. It has been used since ancient times, reflecting the historical importance and value of silver. *** Au - Aurum (Gold) *** The name "Aurum" is the Latin word for gold. It has been used for centuries to represent this precious metal. *** Pt - Platinum *** The name "Platinum" is derived from the Spanish word "platina," meaning "little silver." Spanish explorers initially encountered platinum in South America. *** U - Uranium *** The name "Uranium" is derived from the planet Uranus, which was discovered in 1781 by William Herschel. The element was named in honor of the newly discovered planet. *** Hope it helps a little :D

I don't know why I find this funny, but argent also means money in French. I learned that because on one of my silver coins it says "1 Oz. Argent Pur." A girl I was with at the time spoke French and asked: "Why does it say pure money on that coin???" when she saw it.😆

[@yeaboy4751]

Opening trailer was AWSOME, love the work you put into your vids!

Thank you!!

[@TheSandsofFlowingTime]

Being on an ice planet, it would only make sense to build a decently sized hydrogen engine setup for power

[@CT-1035]

I know you are well past this point by now, but for those that aren’t, the moment you get the basic assembler up and running, disassemble your T0 hand drill and upgrade to a T1, it only takes the basic resources, but it’s better then T0

[@vaevictis6990]

Yay!!!! New series!!!! I love how you did the opening trailer

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Thank you! It was a lot of fun to work on!

[@MagaManiac]

Start setting up for massive ice removal above other resources and storing the ice for the start of your hydro generators.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

That's a great idea! I really need to get some hydro power going.

[@TheScooted]

The fact that the wind turbine works in the vacuum of space - is outstanding 😁😁

[@Khayul]

It's not vacuum though - it's just an unbreathable atmosphere.

[@pseudo.Random-KF]

7:55 since the grid size is set to small, the wind turbines will not show their requirements, as they do not have a small counterpart. You can change this by pressing the big square under the X on the top right.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Ah, that makes sense! Thanks for pointing that out :)

[@Pauel3312]

Yay good to see you back in my reccommandations man! This series looks like it's gonna be awesome Oh, and btw, Au is Aurum Ag is Argentum Fe is Ferrum (you are correct) And there is one of your magnesium deposits you named Mi instead of Mg

[@galacticdrifter4206]

A idea, if there is one of the faction ships flying nearby, maybe a spectator cam peek at what's going on outside in the void before the outro. I'm always curious what they look like before they get torn to bits. ❤️

[@mailleweaver]

When you have two ice markers at the same time from your drill sensor, one is terrain ice and the other is ore ice. You can only get 3 ore types per vanilla deposit, so the silicon magnesium deposit is actually a silicon, magnesium, and ice deposit. You'll often encounter the same situation in snowy areas and frozen lakes.

[@frankmartel5775]

15:52 Ag = Argent (French for silver). Fe = Fer (iron). Pb = Plomb (lead)

[@meyatetana2973]

For wind turbines either one needs to be 9 blocks up, and 9 blocks away from eachother. To be 100%

[@Valenorious]

There are actually tiny specs of stone on Europa. Patches of a couple around 5 meters size. But you have to look for those from up high. They come in groups.

[@unclegreybeard3969]

There is Platinum on the Earthlike planet's moon if you know where to look. It is found 100-150m beneath a Nickel ONLY deposit, if it's Ni with anything else - no plat. I don't think this is true for any other moon though.

[@gamemakerjunior]

Yay, a new moon start! Fun fact, if you launch any object straight up from the surface of any vanilla moon at about 90m/s, that is sufficient velocity to escape its gravity and reach space. It is actually quite easy to build a mechanical contraption that can propel arbitrarily heavy cargo or newly built ships into space, without requiring thrusters 😉 safe way = pistons, crazy way = rotor crane that gradually spins up to speed and then releases at the exact correct instant with a script. just a thought, in case a space elevator sounds like too much work or too boring 😁

[@AndrewmanGaming]

LOL that sounds amazing!!! I'd love to build a space catapult to launch ion ships into space!

[@Ragnarok0312]

There was actually a plan to do the rotor option here on earth irl. The project was scrapped from what I know. Called something like the space catapult.

i love how the survival kit just landed totally fine

[@david_ashwood]

I'm only halfway through the series but I just wanted to drop a note to say how awesome the content is. Great narrative, excellent progressive growth with each episode and the gameplay really makes the game feel accessible. I am a complete novice to the game and the out of the box experience makes for a fairly steep learning curve. Your content has been invaluable in figuring out some of the mechanics. Thanks!

[@JRJ-]

just started playing the game (cant believe i am 5 years late!), this series is going to be a fun watch!

[@smcfadden1992]

easiest door to keep air in, is using 2 sloped panels, still allows you to walk through the opening triangle

[@phat_gunther]

Just the opening alone was brilliant and i cant wait for the next episode. -no pressure :)

[@sO_RoNerY]

Looks like a neat game. Wouldn’t surprise me if the background planets are just part of the big huge background; a dome, to make it look like “you’re in space”. I know this game being priced at $19.99 won’t have realistic planets that actively do its thing like in a game like Elite: Dangerous. The devs decided to use the Animal Crossing platform effect? Meaning the ground you’re on rolls under you. Because planets are huge, realistically. There’s no way you can walk on any planet and the ground already rolling like in this game. It would look like you’re walking thousands of miles if the planets were huge. In this game it looks like you’re walking five miles to reach to the other side under you. It doesn’t give me that illusion the planets are huge.

[@XanderAU_Quokka_M.D]

Thank you for the new series mate, you got me into Space Engineers a few years ago with the escape from Pertam series and I have been playing it ever since. So again, thanks for the new series and great video as per usual. Cheers mate.

[@DanielJBarnett]

This inspires me to start my own play-through! Also, it would be really cool to jump on a server some time and play; I have been watching your vids for years now!!!

[@phoenix-ksp]

Very entertaining. Just a small advice : when you do mining trip, you should leave the bottles, that's about 20% of your carring capacity gone with them

[@LordGrape]

What a FANTASTIC intro and start to a survival series. I'm 10 and a half minutes in and I just have to say, this is brilliant for veteran players to have a small bit of a challenge to get started. Great idea, and awesome theme!

[@Hampsterfeld]

I love how you manage to just do it so well

[@randallvolk8437]

You could add the ‘build and repair’ to act as a second hand for welding and grinding. You deserve at least one NCP helper! Also it can help keep things repaired or assist in their building allowing you to focus mor on the design. And a side-note, maybe you should put a mini-survival pod underground as a worst case fall back!

[@MrBlackdragon1230]

He could also use the AiEnabled drones to help as an alternative if he or anyone else thinks the BAR's are OP. I personally use BAR's as well as AiEnabled, but I know alot of people hate them.

[@Zen_Is_A_Menace]

Just a little tip: You can type /gps [name] (e.g. "/gps Mg" will give you a marker named "Mg") in chat to get a GPS marker at your current location. A little faster than using the menu. I like to use a period for boulders and an underscore for subsurface e.g. /gps .Mg would be a boulder of magniesium and /gps _Mg would be and underground deposit.

[@gamerelite3989]

europa was always a nice change of pace instead of having a relaxing start to a fast paced run for basic needs unless you meet oblivion when the batteries ran dry on the lander XD good times :)

Very cool to see more recent posts on this game. First time I played this I grinded the whole drop pad down and quit because I didn’t know what else to do 😂. Second time I downloaded every blueprint and spawned in in even though some of them crashed my game and I got sick of it after a day lol. Now that I know some of what to do I am playing survival and it’s a pretty awesome game. The stuff I don’t know I am having great fun figuring out. Never knew you can launch your ship to space messing with pistons 😂😂😂 (not really but it flew up and slammed back down and exploded) Anyway thanks for the series I’m gonna get back to watching.

Hey bud, ive done this start so many times, but with the basic starter ship, and i have it down to just over an hour to get set up with a fully functional base. Need to be able to fly to do it, as the trade stations in orbit is the only way to get going, that and the random box drops. LOL. Its a tough start but then as you get up and running, its like any other start. Hope you enjoy and have fun with it.

[@FerroFrog]

The symbols for the elements on the periodic table come from their latin names! :D While most elements have kept their latin names given when they were discoverted all the way to today, several elements have common names that are completely different: (From the ores found in SE): Iron - Fe - Ferrum (My username is based on this one) Gold - Au - Aurum Silver - Ag - Argentium (Others): Lead - Pb - Plumbum Sodium - Na - Natrium Potassium - K - Kalium Copper - Cu - Cuprum Tin - Sn - Stannum Antimony - Sb - Stibium Tungsten - W - Wolfram Murcury - Hg - Hydrargyrum

Very insightful. Thanks

Plumbum is funny to me.

[@ralphsexton8531]

@Andrew - yep, Europa is ice through and through. However, I have found stone mixed in with some ore deposits. It is really rare, though. Anyone planning on Europa with food mods, beware! Also, Iron - Fe - Ferrum Silver - Ag - Argentum Gold - Au - Aurum And for those interested, Platinum means "unripened silver"

[@brayden1562]

That start was absolutely nuts.
