Thank you! You got me to the point where I finally understand the game. I really got tired of uninstalling in defeat

[@galacticpuddle6764]

Ohhh Waldo 😮

[@dracomille13]

I am still learning space engineer and still very new to the game compared to others. If it wasn't for all of Splitsies videos then I would be so lost. He has helped me out a lot and I definitely love all of his series and every video. Both his tutorial videos and all the rest are just fantastic and well put together.

[@Eisen_Jaeger]

Consider painting your crane truck cockpit a different color so you don't have to keep running around the truck looking for it. :P

[@roadtrain_]

But that's sensible! And we all know that's not a word in splitsie's vocabulary :P

[@lcstark]

Another happy customer! That's the quality of Splitsie's Roadside Assistance Service. Nice to see other people coming into play in the series. The Scrapyard is great solo, but it really shines when you get to cooperate like that. :D

[@ToaDrakua]

Thinking maybe hiding a rotor under the crate/battery pile and setting it to a jaunty angle might help sell the "pile of loose containers" look.

[@Splitsie]

It probably would, though I'll try as much as possible to get the look without extra subgrids where I can, worried that it might be too much of a performance hog if I go to my usual lengths of subgrids :D

[@diazinth]

With all those dust storms flying around, it'd make sense to me to have a "sand lock" for your living quarters, so your engineer doesn't bring too much sand into the comforts of his home. We tend(ed) to do the same with snow, mud and the related wetness here in Norway (when outside of modern/urban areas ofc).

[@Splitsie]

It's funny how little I think about those sorts of things given where I live, it was so different when I travelled in Canada and every home has those airlocks to prevent too much of the heat from escaping. It's an interesting idea that I might try to incorporate if I expand the living area a bit :)

[@Hailstrumm]

@@Splitsie your lucky you dont have to live in hell and sand like i do in texas, i get nosebleeds from how hot it gets sometimes :(

[@lazermaniac]

I'd say a compromise on the landing gear for the crane is acceptable - use them for more challenging loads, but first design a set of folding booms for them rather than a simple downward piston. It'll widen the base and give a proper visual indication that the vehicle's locked down and stabilized.

[@Splitsie]

I may well come around to that if I really get stuck, but it might be worth the outriggers anyway, would be interesting to build some :)

[@DecPlays_]

Great to see as always. Cooperative play with the local scrappers proves we don't always need competition

[@Splitsie]

Agreed, I love being able to do some smaller cooperative things like this, hopefully we'll be able to do more going forward :)

49:54 Ahh the humble paint gun. One of many mods that should be vanilla, and a necessity in every save of mine.

[@QuintonMurdock]

Powering your base with a solar generator railcar is such a cool vibe

[@cyqry]

One thing you could do for the light towers. You said that the voxels get reset, so you could dig a trench to connect them with a sort of underground cable system. Give them enough space and you won't have to worry too much about people driving into them.

[@guesswho2778]

i was thinking of small grid power lines on poles above any vehicular activity. your suggested sounds a lot better on the server though.

[@Splitsie]

Yeah, I like the idea of something visible connecting but it might be nice to hide some parts just to make it easier to move vehicles around those bits :)

[@cyqry]

@@Splitsie Yeah I get that, aesthetics are a key factor. Its just a shame that Keen have never thought to implement a sort of "cable" system so we could connect separate grids to share power. I know there's a mod that does similar but its a conveyor system, problem is they're far too bulky to pass off as a power cable.

[@TheRanker24]

Tethers mod exist.

[@Xero1of1]

38:27 'Pallet System' Go literal. build a 10x10 small grid platform and then build panels around the edges. Then just dump your items in there. Build a shelf system inside your warehouse and build a forklift to grab the pallets, lift them into their proper spots and push them in for long term storage. Then, when people come around asking for a particular item, just grab your forklift, pull down the pallet and away you go!

[@Xero1of1]

39:53 Advanced rotor. Small grid rotor part. Place the rotor in the floor facing upwards. Sink the rotor part down (-11cm?) and build a 5x5 small grid platform on top of it. Align the height of the small grid so that it's even with the floor, and then you can build small grid within large grid and still have everything line up. Plus it's very stable since the 5x5 will be held in place by the large grid blocks.

[@Xero1of1]

44:46 Build your entire house decor with small grid. It'll look better. Much more detailed. Just keep building off of the survival kit.

[@Splitsie]

I've done some building all in small grid and while some things are fun, I know I'm capable and prone to spending FAR too much time doing that, so it's probably best I don't spend 4 weeks on such a project :D

I put off setting up PARK on my crane until I saw it on yours. I don’t have it fully implemented and it still helps so much. Wish I’d seen this before using a connector on my survival kit. I finally got the med components to fix it.

One part that makes pallets great is making them stack while also being as simple as possible. So, what I propose as a design is simple, 5x7 platform - longer edges are full blocks rest made of half blocks. Corners are merge block on the base, followed by 3 block high column with merge block at its top, allowing for stacking.

[@OHPerry1812]

Some advice for making a tiny forklift in SE. Make it small, it is more usable when small, and with a simple design, it will still carry enough weight. All 4 wheels should be for steering, it really helps the turn radius and makes it usable in tight areas. Slap a mag plate on the back, you can use that to back up into a cargo container or a heavy block and use that for counterweight when carrying something heavy on the front, so you won't tip over. Set a speed limiter, they are light little vehicles and can get surprisingly fast with very little ability to steer. One small battery is more than enough, and it should be placed on the very back. Also, if you want, put a mag plate on the bottom, so if you want to put something up high, you can lock while raising it.

[@Splitsie]

I'm hoping the 2x2 wheels will help me build something smaller than I've managed before but still useful. Completely agree that smaller is better with this sort of thing :)

[@aaronsneary4566]

@Splitsie Until the introduction of the 2x2s, I used the 1x1 wheels for warehouse-only forklifts. They actually work better on a flat surface than they look like they should. They just CANNOT handle ramps at all.

[@davidmartensson273]

I have also noticed that if you use space to come to a full stop it quite often goes into sort of a park mode, but sometimes you have to park and unpark to get going, as if its only partial.

[@Splitsie]

Yeah, it's a very odd little bug

[@baronvonschnellenstein2811]

Yep, the random co-op was cool. Nice how the fellow happened to have enough previously liberated solar components to be able to complete one of the colourable panels that were salvaged :) On your site-office / hab: Perhaps the roof panels where the texture is going the wrong way could be painted a different colour and perhaps a more "worn" look to enhance the idea that those panels are original and haven't yet been replaced.

[@Splitsie]

Glad the random coop time was enjoyed, wasn't sure how that one would be received in a setting like this :) Yeah something like that could make the roof feel more right despite the corrugations going the wrong way

[@Splitsie]

I was thinking the same thing but preferred where the light would fall if I put it where I did, I may well change it up later and instead go for 2 of them to break up the room more and avoid the oddness of the skylight not lining up with the window :)

[@chaosknight626]

Okay, hear me out on the lighting situation. Collect small batteries, attach an interior light, small connector and a mag plate to them, move them around and treat them as light bulbs, then when the batteries die just detach the mag plate and bring them over to a charger

[@Splitsie]

If I had an easy way to turn them off when I log off I'd totally do that, but knowing that I need to recharge them every time I log back on (because of how many hours will have passed) means I think I'd stick to a concept like that in something not on a 24/7 server :/

[@SpideyDude556]

You should do a set of pistons facing downward with landing gear so you can use it like the support legs on cranes, that way you don’t have to worry about tipping when using the crane. Just a suggestion, definitely love the rover you got tho!!

[@PandaSE_]

Still watching the video, but if terrain automatically resets, you could theoretically make connection to the main base for the light towers you're talking about by drilling into the ground and placing blocks underneath. Or just engineer a more interesting solution :D

[@Splitsie]

I'm tempted to do some of both. Something underground to be secure and reliable, something above ground for style :)

[@cabbageplays6710]

idea for a pallet for you, Build a small grid landing gear, add 1 small armor to the top of that, on top of the armor block, ad armor plate and make it into a pallet shape, i would suggest a 7x10. Add an armor block to the corners under the plate, then add a small mag plate in each corner, so armor plate goes around the edge and the inside corner has a mag lock. Then add armor plate and mag plates to make the top of the pallet a complete flat surface. The 4 armor blocks will give it a pallet look, and would allow forks to go under the pallet, and it would let it rest on the floor in a stable way. Forks for the forklift should be made out of mag plates so they will slide between the floor and the bottom of the pallet. Edit, so i was thinking of how to control the mag plates, as you wont really be able to see them when things are on top of them, i was thinking of the 4 button panel. attach on to each side so you could have 8 mag plates on each pallet. I think you can build all of those blocks on this game mode. Having an area out the front of the warehouse where you can drop things off for the forklift would be helpful, as i think the forklift should use the 1x1 small grid wheels. so it will bottom out on any kind of ramp.

[@warriorsabe1792]

I'd do the palettes the way they're done in real life - they're like that for a reason, after all. Have some small half block beams with gaps, then a platform on top, maybe with magplates to act as tie-downs. The forklift, then, can be a literal forklift with half block or plate tines to grab between the lower beams, the same way real forklifts grab real palettes

[@Splitsie]

It's probably not a bad place to start, though I won't be surprised if the game decides that it doesn't like all those objects interacting that way :P

[@warriorsabe1792]

@@Splitsie Oh yeah clang would probably have a bit of a fit if you tried to replicate 1:1, but something like a two block gap and a one block tine should be fine I imagine. To be fair, though, my experience is mostly not multiplayer, so I'm not sure the extent to which stability varies

My suspicions are that it'll be bad, but there's a big part of me that wants to try anyway 🤔😂

I thought it just locked it to the targeted block? I'm gonna have to test, that would make life much easier lol

It does but it also slows down the grinding to where it's easier to not grind power cells. I used to mess it up all the time and since using this tip I rarely over grind.

[@Bonghitterd]

Cool series so far! But after seeing how useful the rover crane has been I can't help but wonder how helpful a fully piped base crane would be... maybe using hinges on either side of a conveyor junction with a camera centered on it to fold out a connector or a mag-plate for multi-role use... might even add a welder or grinder for base construction... if nothing else it would be a truly universal docking point for top side rover connectors or a cargo stacker to move containers around the base...

[@Splitsie]

I feel like a fully piped crane has a few limitations that might make it a pain - the main one being the lack of a 3x3 piston. Since pistons can't carry most components it would mean that the crane would have fixed length booms and so not be able to reach as far :/

[@Bonghitterd]

@@Splitsie Fair point, I guess fully piped wouldn't work, except as a docking rig for hydrogen or power... I still feel like the idea of having a conveyor junction with a camera on the front with hinges around the sides with different "hands" for the crane "arm" could be useful, but I guess even that would be more useful in a vanilla setting... Anyway, thanks for responding, and I'm looking forward to the next episode!

Splitsie need to make a vending machine for the different small grid blocks in his base. Have a big container made out of plates up the top and when you press a button it will drop one of the small blocks out the bottom by using a rotor or hinge.

[@mellowrebel4618]

IF YOUR BOOR REMAINS ERECT MORE THAN 4 HOURS PLEASE CONSULT THE OTHER CRANE DRIVER

[@KaedysKor]

Not using landing gear for anchoring makes sense, for the engineering challenge. Have you considered deployable outriggers? No landing gear on the end, instead maybe like a 1x1 wheel, placed side-down (max friction? Or zero? Not sure which would work better)? Basically, thinking exactly like the deployable "feet" that cranes and backhoes and such have (for the same purpose), just an "arm" at each corner that pivots down to the ground. Those don't lock down IRL either (usually), they just provide a wider "foot" to avoid lateral tilting.

[@Splitsie]

I should definitely add some of those when I have the time, would be cool to have them deploy if nothing else as I could have them added to the same deployment function as the crane itself :)

Watching this makes me wonder why you wouldn’t scrap the entire structure to build large grid rovers . Then you could add a grinder pit to it and just pick up everything and eat it :)

[@arronweh]

If you fill your backpack with whatever until full then grind the battery to hack. All the items should stay on the battery including the power cells.

[@Splitsie]

Sadly that doesn't work for power cells, they'll still grind to scrap, it's just that the scrap won't end up in your inventory (until you come back to weld it up and have room for that scrap)

Yeah, it's sad we don't have any way to easily recharge a system like that. Although I guess perhaps I could make a little rover with a small connector on the lights to recharge them periodically. Probably not great for server play given the added time they need to run, but could use the concept in something I'm local hosting :)

[@Suppagappa]

Idea: A radar that enables those ’blips’ but is *really* powerhungry (and maybe expensive and/or rare) so you have the option to search with assistance but make it prohibitively expensive to do so for long periods of time. Maybe balance it so the pings are much more frequent than they are as of right now. Idea 2: The ability to turn small grid blocks into their large grid variant at a very steep price. Haven’t seen many large grid thrusters and engines and such, it would make building large grid stuff possible in mid/late game if you haven’t already implemented a way to (and even if) allow people to build vehicles in large grid.

[@Splitsie]

Large grid stuff is implemented but must be sourced from space. My idea of the progression path is to scrounge together what you can on the planet, then go to space. While on the planet the threat level is very low, in space things get a bit more spicy but the loot also improves since you can get all sorts of blocks up there including refineries and assemblers :)

@ Splitsie - You should make a scrapyard robodog that comes out to great you when you return and sits in a kennel recharging when you're gone.

[@Splitsie]

lol I wish I was clever enough to make something like that possible, the closest I can think of that would be within my reach would be a dog version of a cuckoo clock :D

[@BON60_B1LL90]

@@Splitsie I'm sure you could do something that looks like a dog but with wheels and the control block setup to patrol a short distance from you? You're a creative fella :D

I love this series!! Is there a server to go with it or is this a private server?

[@Splitsie]

Since you're a member if you join the discord and link your KZbin account to discord you'll be able to see the supporters area which has all the details 🙂

The link should be in the description of all my videos 🙂

You said about making a simple forklift for moving pallets of goods around - so, just to keep it 'simple' - how about a reach-truck with side shift? As you're in a warehouse, you'll need at least a four piston height on it, one piston for the 'reach' and another for side-shift, hinges and (maybe) another piston if you decide to make it tilt as well. This is more or less your definition of 'simple', isn't it? (I'd suggest a side-winder truck, but that might be tempting Klang too much.) Last thought - can you build a cage for your crane so you can take yourself up high, like SI with the Liftsie, so you can repair/grind/hack blocks that are elevated? I'm not sure if you hacked one of the wind turbines as the spotlight seems to keep focusing on it.

[@Splitsie]

I'll have to look into what you're referring to as I'm not 100% sure what side-shift might entail, but I hope to make something which can move around inside the warehouse so it'll have to be quite small. Even if I can't make a cage, I'm sure I could redesign the crane to be able to walk along the crane arm to at least reach relatively high places :)

[@TheSquolphin]

At 29:11 the hinge part slowly catches up to the rest of the crane… did a double take when I first saw that lol

[@herebejamz]

Considering how differently I play these games to a lot of people who make videos about em, I'd literally have all four of those wind turbines at different heights and I feel like people would go nutters about it.

[@Splitsie]

Honestly, I probably would have done the same, but perhaps it would have been to show how they all came from different places :P

[@DeathsGarden-oz9gg]

Good video. You should try building a speed bike for looking for bigger bases with potential larg cargo for large grids. Or just make a room full of small grid small batteries floor to the top full mybe thoughts.

[@Splitsie]

If I was playing on a local game I'd totally build a scout like that, unfortunately scouting ahead doesn't work as well with how the cleanup needed to be set up as all the scrap out there gets periodically removed and so would be gone by the time I got back :(
