Contact - A Space Engineers Vanilla Survival Series EP1

[@zacharythomas8617]

As a newbie who only has 90 hours in game, I want to compliment your playthrough at how easy you make this look. A couple questions for you. How many in game hours do you have? Any tips for newbies?

[@redsgamescompany]

So I'm just over 4200 hours, I have a bit of experience :P I'd say the biggest tip I can think of is to set your own goals as to how you want to complete a playthrough. Maybe you aim to visit all the planets, maybe you want to create a cool orbital space base? The contact update will surely help give players more things to do, but SE is inherently a sandbox game which means there are very few long term tasks to accomplish. If you give yourself something arbitrary to work towards and try to complete it in a new or unconventional way it adds a lot of fun and replayability!

I'm going like this new series you've started. I've just jumped into a new play through with the new Contact upgrade too. I'm glad you are back to Space Engineers. I feel like this DLC is the end game of the game and hopefully that means SE2 will be around the corner.

[@redsgamescompany]

I'm excited to see how much this adds. If it can create an environment for creative problem solving and make the vanilla game feel purposeful without limiting the freedom SE has always had. I'm hopeful!

Highly expendable.....nice!

The wind turbine is not high enough. needs to be at least 6 to 8 blocks from a voxel to get optimal efficiency. Said it before you fixed it. ;)

[@redsgamescompany]

That wind turbine is a pretty temporary thing (as is the whole base really) so i'll take that into account during the upgrades.

[@deviantgaming9726]

All you have to do is raise the turbine a few blocks. They peak at like 480kw each

[@TheMrShinagami]

I can confirm that there are wreaked things to find on planet with the new update. I'm not going to say any more than that, I'll let you have the fun of finding them.

[@redsgamescompany]

Thank you for preserving the mystery!

I've never seen anyone fly the pod didn't know you could

[@redsgamescompany]

Takes a bit of reworking, but yes, the pod makes a great starter ship and all the required parts are onboard!

[@fredpryde8555]

the sound on your mic was very bad but great job actually it got better as you went on

[@redsgamescompany]

if it cleared up at the end of that little intro it was intended to sound like a bad recording, like the speaker in the pod was going bad.

just 0:46 in . audio is very poor.

[@sirtiberius1083]

I think thats the point

[@sheik9956]

@@sirtiberius1083 shitty quality is the point ? there are actually filters that can be run to clean up all that static thats coming tru and making it unbearable to follow.

[@Engineer.4200]

​@@sheik9956 Shitty grammar, I don't think you have room to criticize.
