It's hard to find good youtubers nowadays. Keep it up man!

[@YEAHKINDA]

I love this dude, it's like 2006 let's plays videos and I absolutely love that aesthetic, no screaming "Lets go" when you find nickel or something like that, no clickbait, just pure lovable content.

[@EddieMagpie]

when they said "go big" you went huge.. . Base looks awesome.. sometimes 'simple but done well' really works.. First class as usual ..

[@YEAHKINDA]

I love simplistic designs and even ones that come off of others' ideas. Most people seem to build too clustered of an exterior nowadays for their spacious interior, doesn't seem to look as good as the simple designs, but complex designs utility-wise seem to make great segways to simple designs that look neat.

[@DragonNationGaming]

@@YEAHKINDA Check that all conveyors are built.

[@YEAHKINDA]

@@DragonNationGaming I'm good with that, either way I can find out if they're built or not because a lot of my builds have some level of exposed conveyors, inside or outside, to be able to repair them without tearing the ship or station apart. And even further, I have the build and repair system as an almost mandatory on any station or ship I make.

[@jhagglungmail]

I have been watching through all these videos since you started on a planet and I think some of my favorites videos have been when you layout for us your idea and then show us the end result. The time-lapse or montages, adds a really nice touch. You could breakdown the videos into sections as you did with the tunnel system which was cool. Awesome videos man!

[@zrebbesh]

Watching you is fun. We do almost everything in totally different ways.

[@JustanotherPlaya]

Just looking at that Mega miner docked next to the Mole seems a bit like overkill, LOL. :)

[@orianalexander1671]

you don't need a second reactor, just add a few batteries. the batteries will absorb the spike and the one reactor will then be able to charge the batteries.

[@kroonstaar]

really nice video! loved the timelapse and of course your builds are amazing, keep up the good work! reminds me of the "old KZbin" , really love it

[@Gamer225.]

Dude you are awesome I got lazy in this game you actually got me pumped to play this game again

[@victorshane4134]

Yeah, gave me lots of motivation to play this game again with plans and to head step by step ahead :D

[@TheDeadEyeSamurai]

This is cool and all but really all you need is a long tube line with a drill and cockpit in the end and your golden!

[@MrJay_White]

get the buildinfo mod. it has an airleak finder function

[@chuckberry3809]

I really like your base idea. my bases are always functional, but never attractive

[@ralphskitz5126]

whats the first song on the montage please?

[@Nervock]

lol, you left your airlock open with the vents on. You burned all your Ice into space. (unless you had zero ice at the start of the video, I didn't see) You should set up buttons in the air lock to Close/open doors and pressurize/depressurize. You also may want to put the doors on a timer to auto close so they cant be left open.

[@Caffin8tor]

Unless you mean wasting the air that was already in the ship, vents don't try to pressurize unless the area is currently airtight. Doors open to space automatically disable pressurization to that area as I understand it.

[@Nervock]

@@Caffin8tor i don't believe that is how it works. Either way hes out of ice and should set up some automation to keep the doors closed.

[@MrJay_White]

timer block can automate teh whole thing.

[@2_bias]

Set the vent in the air lock to depressurize. That way you won´t loose so much air when using it.

[@joesmokexx9369]

do u ever post any tutorials like of the inch worm build and the mega miner i think it would help a lot of new players to learn the possibilities a lot of the other tutorials out there are hard to follow and would be nice to learn from someone who-knows knows what there talking about

[@bjdubb]

he has an inch worm tutorial. Its like episode 9. Its called "Automated Tether" or something like that

[@joesmokexx9369]

o ok thanks i’ll look for it

[@TheMjollnir67]

Here's another mod I can recommend, BuildInfo, provides extra info for blocks and terminals and has, in addition, an airleakfinder built in... (requires Text HUD API, link in the mod description) steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=514062285

[@jackdaws8046]

An absolute wall of drills is unnecessary... you can alternate junctions and drills, but be warned, a drill at each corner of a junction will leave a strip of voxels, but a drill on each SIDE of a given junction will clear space for the junction so you can basically go in a checker pattern and you’ll be fine.

[@DragonNationGaming]

It is necessary. More drills makes it dig faster and pick up faster.

[@jackdaws8046]

Dragon Nation Gaming my goal in that is to either save weight, ease the load on my potato pc, or just make the drill wall twice the surface area to fit a bigger ship in... less density for the same result means going BIGGER before my potato machine begs for mercy... also the way volume works, if you can add on more row on each side, that’s a huge gain, and with even one block space on the wall going to something other than a drill, you’re limited to that speed going through the rock regardless... love the montages btw

[@jamesguignard3094]

you keep playing this really good music during your montages and when i go to try and find them on the internet its from bands that dont sound anything like the music you are playing. any chance you can give a list of the musicians.

[@JamesSanFilippo]

Trying to build this base, which mod for the spine and windows? I'm not finding those blocks - Thanks

[@YEAHKINDA]

Just watched all the intro, a great idea is to try to reconfigure the same design (i.e. changing the placement of containers and such, adding or removing certain things like o2/h2 generators, giving it a different way of thinking, maybe starting to spread out the thrusters across the ship, etc.) It really makes you rethink how you're building and it will make you get creative in how you armor it to make it look decent. Ribbing is great for looks and for structure in case you slap into some rocks.

[@victorsykes5334]

I would love to see you design a mobile base ship. With all the cargo capacity you want.

[@DragonNationGaming]

Pretty much a respawn ship?

[@Hackemesser]

I can't access the blueprint link - is there a new one?

[@aquaticdragon4577]

What was the music in the montage??

[@alp2063]

Storm is Over

[@The_RadixOfficial]

I know this is kinda old but what script where you using on those LCD's to show all that info??

[@DragonNationGaming]

Either TIMs or Isy's

[@The_RadixOfficial]

@@DragonNationGaming wow you quick to respond :). I know i am asking a lot here but do you have a preference on which one is better and if so is there a link I can get them from?

[@sebione3576]

Try "Automatic LCDs 2". That script has so many useful features. My personal favorites-a screen on my HUD that tells me the state of my batteries and my fuel tanks, so before I disconnect my ship I can double check that my batteries aren't in recharge mode and my tanks aren't set to stockpile... No more crashing to the ground when I disconnect from the station :)

[@mossbogger8366]

uh yea in creative mode drills are just n+1

[@SebSenseGreen]

I love the station

[@YEAHKINDA]

Yo uhh... How do you get ingots to show up? I can't seem to get it to work when I enter the arguement for it into the custom data of my LCD screen.

[@DragonNationGaming]

Jus the same way I did with the ore and components. Do you have them showing?

[@mauriziomartini2754]

ep 21?

[@jkirkwood2018]

Isy's ....short "I" like the word "in" ..."s" makes the z sound ..."y" makes the "ee" sound Izee's I can understand the confusion. just trying to help :) Lovin' the show...

[@victorsykes5334]

👍👍
