you've fast become my favorite youtuber. i really enjoy your videos. also i like the drone idea.

[@CosmicIntroverts]

Wow, thanks! I glad you like the videos!

[@AegirBuildsAndBeats]

Love the look you got for that tunnel! Looks fantastic. Excited to see how it could look with the lighting/unified grid in SE2.

[@CosmicIntroverts]

Thanks! I'm really looking forward to seeing what all we can do in SE2 as well.

[@NeoDK911]

I agree with the landing gear proposition @47:03. 😊

[@kierparker378]

Snapping Turtle or the Platypus lol! I loved the video please keep it up 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@CosmicIntroverts]

I'll add the names to the list! Glad you like the videos. Thanks for watching!

17:40 Normally (unless you're relying primarily on hydro-gens for power), it's often best to put the 'when stored power is less than' to about 15% or so. That way it's not hovering above 77%. That will use a lot of ice/ hydro when you still have lots of battery power.

[@CosmicIntroverts]

That makes sense. I'll have to try and remember to switch the event controller. Thanks!

[@shadenphoenix]

52:30 If you swap the rear custom turrets on the bottom with the hydro thrusters, you won't risk blowing them off by trying to shoot straight forward. Same conveyer setup, just swapping the placement. Could remove the thrust and lock the cannons to the deck with weld plates, then slide back till they weld, then replace the thrusters in back? 🤔

[@shadenphoenix]

Keeps you from having to rebuild OR rename parts by just detaching and moving.

[@CosmicIntroverts]

Good idea. I could also limit the hinge so the turrets won't be able to hit the thrusters. Even if I change the thruster position I'll have to limit the hinge and/or rotor to avoid damage to the thruster. Thanks, I would have learned the hard way if you didn't bring this up!

There is a mod Called 'Resource Nodes' that lets you set up a drilll on a node that auto mines the resource without needing a mining ship. It does not dig actual holes or deplete the resource. Kind of cheaty, but makes the game play more like Satisfactory. And if you set it up on asteroids, then it makes using a cargo drone actually worth while as you don't have to move it after you run out of materials.

[@CosmicIntroverts]

That mod is tempting but, like you said, it is a little cheaty. I'll have to give that some thought. I don't want to make things too easy lol.

[@roguemajin46290]

front right side was at 29% by the window idk if u seen it was like a flicker but i seen one there that needs fixed

[@CosmicIntroverts]

I didn’t see that. Thanks for letting me know!

[@d9phoenix115]

i would build a mining outpost at the asteriods then use drones to ferry the material back. less stuff to lose (hopefully) once you turn mes back on

[@CosmicIntroverts]

That's what I'm thinking too. Plus if we set up a base on the moon I can ferry resources there as well.

[@cabbageplays6710]

Hey bud, so the first thing that popped into my head when i saw the finished ship was "The Buttercup". Not sure why, but there it is. LOL Can you do me a small favour though, at the front of the ship you have the new cockpit windows, which is cool, under the side windows though you could change the armour pieces to make it flow a little nicer, please. The armour could flow right from the front but it pokes out and then in and then goes how the window is angled anyway. Its just for my OCD. Cheers Great vid.

[@CosmicIntroverts]

I'll add "The Buttercup" to the list, and oh man! Now that you said that about the ship I can't un-see it lol. I'll do my best to shape that out in between episodes. Thanks!

[@Ceo8203]

War turtle 🐢 or Og slant back

[@CosmicIntroverts]

The War Turtle lol. That's a good one. If he gets named that I'll have to change him from blue to green.

[@Ceo8203]

@CosmicIntroverts THAT WOULD COOL

[@annkoehler8017]

How's the new home working for you (in real life)? Really enjoyed the beginning minutes with you mining in space prior to going back down to the planet face. As far as your scout/fighter-ish ship, I'm thinking about The Badger. It looks REALLY good!!! As far as your power is concerned, I'm thinking you'll save even more ice if you go down to 50% before they come on.

[@CosmicIntroverts]

The Badger. That's cool. Going down to 50% is not a bad idea. I may have to add more engines to recharge the batteries faster too.
