"Box with solar panel, one drill, rover, SUBMARINE!" That cracked me up. Thank you for the laugh, gentlemen.

[@matthewdale4135]

Love at the end when they are talking about what they are going to do next etc, Splitsie starts up the hill then gently hangs a gentle slow right turn to head back down the hill back towards the base lol

Plastic panel exhibiting repulsion force against static plastic panel. Clang: _YOU CANNOT ESCAPE ME_

[@1990tomjones]

Watching this series makes me miss the interactions between splitsie and w4sted in the wrong way event. W4steds dry sarcasm just goes so well with splitsie and his humor. Keep up the good entertainment folks.

[@mikehiner9977]

You would be far better off with an arrangement like: Drill => container => item conveyor => crusher => container than your current set up of Drill => crusher => container you can then pulse the conveyor and crusher periodically. A crusher will process all available rocks instantly so you are basically putting a massively higher load on the batteries than is necessary to process the ore.

[@CptTiki]

This is like - watching splitsie and w4sted play space engineers durring the very start of early access. i SO hope this game pans out - i can't tell you the last time i was checking youtube to see when a video dropped. Here's to hoping this game keeps being exciting and fun! - cause it sure is pretty amazing to watch!

[@mrnobody2873]

For Titanium, the fastest way to get some is to jetpack up the tallest mountain and build a temporary drilling rig with a grinder.

[@tsalaroth]

I was there live, but missed the first few minutes, now I have the complete experience. :D

[@AndirHon]

I love that Splitsie just made a large rightward turn and looped around on his own tracks loop at the end of stream.

[@Terminator484]

I suppose you could also "hide" the wires by placing them on the bottom exterior of the rover. You wouldn't usually see them that way, and it might be easier to manipulate them later.

[@matthewsheerer4814]

Call the new rover the ladybug..😂 kinda looks like it from the front

[@mej6519]

I was watching the archean dev mess about with a 3 seat quadcopter, he mentioned that ground effect is a real thing in game, so building an ekranoplan could be possible too. So a submersible ekranoplan with a mining rig?

[@GDShadow]

When you plugged in the data cables for the scanner, you accidently connected to 9 and 10 for pivot and scanner instead of 8 and 9 as it was originally configured.

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

Re: Light switches It's _usually_ up for on, and such toggle switches tend to be labeled or embossed with ON/OFF to make it clear whether the switch is closed or open. But I've seen some places where the switch is installed upside down in a probable electrical code violation. More modern switches are toggled by pushing on them, making them easier for those with special needs.

[@ravienl33t11]

North America up for on, down for off. Also the power converter could be a transformer for the technical term.

[@samuelallen1402]

In North America, up is typically on, although we also commonly have multiple switches for some light sets like the kitchen and living room, so it's not a rule, more of a guideline.

[@Zenas521]

Just so you know Splitsie, "Batteries Not Included", is a family Sci/Fi Comedy from 1987. As a kid, I found it to be a laugh riot. As an adult, I found it to be deeper than expected.

[@kalskirata42]

W4sted's laugh tastes like the time I had the flu one winter up in Idaho as a kid.

[@colinsutherland8446]

Man - that looks like my vehicle in screwdrivers haha

[@76Tek6]

The bobbleheads remind me of the first wrong way... and mr capac's crow's nest in the beginning

[@eaudesolero5631]

make you a portable block drill setup then you can drop and anchor it whetever you want. have a separate 2nd battery for light/beacon that switches on when the battery for the drill runs out. theres simple logic for that. of course add solar/rtg.

[@Paullie]

We need more of this from you two, possibly two a week? a week is too long to wait, i wish i had an RTX card as would definitely be purchasing this

[@Rav0000000]

You should put a solar panel canopy just in case you need to recharge in the field.

[@nazgul37]

Yes, switch up is ON. You are upside down, so naturally you think up is down.

[@natew6431]

Can't wait for this to be playable with AMD graphics cards.

[@tsalaroth]

There's an AMD rep working on it in the game dev's discord; so hopefully soon!

[@mworld]

You may have worked out by now that you waste cables if you don't manually pick them up before dismantling an item.

[@Flipsie]

Yeah, I keep forgetting to pick them up though and each time I get a little angry at myself :P

[@Hobbityfus]

Cant weit for them to mine on the water and then sinking as soon as the anchor is deactivated.

[@skipper2285]

I, too, prefer a sensitive mouse. They are twitchy for fine work (like Archean wiring), but give better control on the macro scale. Rats are also fine creatures, but they tend to eat insulation.

[@dillondoherty4307]

I can’t wait until the point in the video when splitse realizes that when he was reconnecting things to the minicomputer he forgot to connect the red power wire so currently the ore scanner is useless without the computer getting powered unless he did connect the power and I didn’t see

[@Flipsie]

I definitely powered it up, but I messed something else up somewhere to not let the rotor spin 😕

[@Althizor]

@@Flipsie you also moved 8 and 9 down 1 to 9 and 10 also the panel i think is the one thats in your inventory wonder if its a optional thing you can connect to modify the scanner without editing code

[@brawl765]

Hey Splitsie I just got generation zero after watching you tfe and Capac play it I played the demo found the game fun so I got it last month for my birthday was the 15th of the month last month

[@ceberoushayes3827]

Drill than cargo than rock crusher to storage so u can add stuff to get crushed

[@tlpthx]

If you run the wire to the light within the pivot it should look OK and even make some sense.

[@edwardcannon9306]

Well so much for writing script from the seat.

[@nublybubly657]

Splitsie; moves the mini computer to the other side of the radar, and somehow hooks it up the right way the first time. Also Splitsie; Oh dang, this is wrong *moves the radar and pivot inputs to port 10 and 9 instead of 9 and 8*. Later; Why does this not work?? Kinda wierd that noone in chat saw it, or maybe they just wanted you and others to suffer, but still, nice stream, very fun to watch and be annoyed by this kind of erros, ...

[@Flipsie]

It was really hard to see the attachment points the way it was set up, but I stupidly should have just pressed V on the screen to see if everything was connected properly or not since it shows it there

[@Juice-ud9wz]

Iv been impatiently waiting for this. Thank you sir.

[@SinForMe1]

when your in drone mode drones look like ufos from batteries not included movie

[@zipstremm8837]

Put the box on the rover and fill it from the drill

[@Juice-ud9wz]

Maybe a crafter would help speed up components crafting. 33:13 and there it is, why you haven’t got a crafter. 2:19:31 I feel for you if you have to rewire he whole wheel set up, and Wasteds brutal remark was perfect.

[@johndegnan5703]

Of coarse EVERYONE knows flipping a switch UP turns the lights on.

[@FireFight001]

I wish I had an RTX instead of a GTX so I could play this game :(

[@dacoz]

if you rebuild the rover. might I suggest putting the scanner where it can be seen from the driver seat in first person (even if it needs to be controlled via the passenger seat)

[@dacoz]

also does the drive computer need to be in the front?

[@dacoz]

nevermind I see you did this in your rebuild.

[@silentzoner267]

sooo can u not modifi a wheal for the same efect as a paddleboat?

[@peterryan4199]

The struggle bus is real 😂

[@Alpha-cx8vl]

X,D boat submarine? Eh! Good enough!

[@czbuchi86]

2:15:00 .. it would be nice if game rendered white block as wireframes only .... it looks confusing like a hell :/ edit: also why not place small batteries upside down and use theyr ports instead of junction?

[@eaudesolero5631]

should move scsnner button on front instead of side

[@colinsutherland8446]

Glad wasted said running amd and rtx works. Gonna have get a graphics card upgrade

[@Jazzious88]

Maybe if you can get bigger wheels, how about build wheel configuration, like wasted old tank trend layout.

[@elderith3244]

My new faverate Stream!

[@pocketchange3543]

Shouldn't the scanner be looking for Bauxite not Aluminum?😊

[@Flipsie]

The scanner looks for a specific element, not the ore that contains it, so searching for aluminium makes the most sense

[@fredrikbreivald388]

Let’s get one thing straight: Up means on!

[@Flipsie]

Never! :P Honestly though, it really isn't that way in Aus or the UK unless you've got lazy switches in which case it's completely random if you use more than the one switch

[@crumpler6773]

Your light switches are off in the up position??? Idk why this is so crazy for me 😂

[@Flipsie]

The first time I went to North America it weirded me out that up was on 😜

[@marcgarrett4401]

Is there no beacon in the game?

[@Magnetis0101]

you guy's are making this more complicated than what it is

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

I'm not sure I can stand the tedium of wiring Every. Single. Thing. Mainly because that was a rather large part of my previous job. I could maybe live with something like Ethernet (PoE) cabling or conduit networks.

[@Flipsie]

I'm hopeful I'll get better and better at working out how to do the cabling faster while still keeping it neat. I think one of the tricks I should start using is to wire in the open, then cover it with blocks AFTER it's all done. This should make it a lot faster, but also needs to have a design that is setup to be done this way from the beginning

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

@@Flipsie If the game allows for the player to lay down unconnected wires so you can place them in parallel, or if it has a way to combine a bunch of wires into bigger cables or harnesses, that's more in line with how it's done in the industry (some concept cars had... extremely sloppy spaghetti harnesses that we had to clean up to make sense of). We don't hook up lights or sensors one wire at a time because that can easily go south fast even if they're terminated with connectors and labels.

[@cmrs521]

Wait wait wait... Did you just say that you guys turn switches down to turn power on? I can understand with splitsie he is upside down but you w4sted? Don't get that at all. (I could have totally misunderstood the conversation as well lmao

[@Flipsie]

I'm going to guess that the British commonwealth countries mostly follow what the UK has, so Aus/UK/NZ plus maybe India, but not Canada since it keeps things like this aligned with the US.

[@martinvho]

Really, W4sted... really... did you really have to bring that Splitsie guy along?

[@bani1046]

Watching you struggle with placing the scanner made me laugh. You were tunneled vision bad. Just make it a left hand drive and you would have had it done easy. Does not matter what side you drive from other then your bias to right drive.

[@Flipsie]

That wasn't tunnel vision at all, that was commitment to trying to make a small modification to an existing thing in the hopes that it would help me learn and also, commitment to the bit 😜

[@Zenas521]

Lots of silence puts me to sleep. Then the next thing I know, my phone alarm goes off and it is time for work. The stream is more than half over. You need to work on your definition of interesting content.

[@ammarti850]

You do realize this stream is essentially two guys trying to figure out the game, right? And your comment suggests you're the one trying to watch a stream 3 hours before they have to get up for work. Go to bed earlier and stop blaming the creators for your joke of a sleep schedule.

[@TNH91]

Sounds more like you need to know what _you_ find to be interesting content and let other people enjoy what _they_ find to be interesting content. It's good that not everyone are the same.

[@Lastofus_Gaming]

​​​@@TNH91 Let me give some perspective, with an example. I actually don't mind too much when people unsubscribe from my channel, because a lot of times they just get bored, from not being entertained. The way I play is to explore and discover new things while I stream, to me and many that watch, that is a big part of the fun and why they subscribed in the first place. What a great game Splitsie, can't wait to play!
