Getting Easy Factorum Tech in the New Contact Update for Space Engineers Gameplay 2024 ep 13

[@Moleculor]

17:35 "Can I die that fast?" You can with the Backspace key. It's there to let you respawn.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

@@Moleculor fine…I’ll stop suffocating myself. lol

[@Luke-ow9ku]

Something you could add to your to do list, connect your planet base and space base with laser antennas. Then you can control them both from either end.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

@@Luke-ow9ku oh, that’s a great idea!

[@TwistedBee]

A little tip: you can put a round panel or round window attached to the inside or outside of doors that exit your build and they will stay air tight due to blocks bounding box.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

I’ve seen some things about that. I’ll have to take a look. I don’t want it to look too cheesy though.

[@TwistedBee]

@@SurvivalBobGaming you can always angle it on its side and make it look like a proper airlock. But hey, it's just a tip, not something you have to do.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

@@TwistedBee I’ll have a look at that!

[@Kami8705]

Put the 2 mining ships with the landing gear/connectors facing each other. Take the blue solar ship and cut off the solar panels to put on a turret, then split the hull and have one each sticking out from the sides of the mining ships. You get two rooms in the mining ship, and can have a hallway between with dormitories on either side which also gives you a place to expand.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

@@Kami8705 wow! Good ideas! I’m going to really have to take some time to plan it out.

[@Ledgnair]

Bob's Empire of Theft grows. But this is a fun way to make a station, just amalgam a number of different ships and ideas together to make it all work together. If nothing else this leaves Bob with a number of 'spare parts' to make his mothership out of when we get to that super project.

[@BigNopes]

cool that hitting the button on the LCD unlocks more gps coords, I probably wouldn't have seen the buttons if you hadn't hit one.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

There’s so much to learn in this game

[@fredpryde8555]

thats how they build space station like the ISS by joining modules together that can be separated or you can add on more i love building new colonies with modules on planets you doing great job yes there are space elevators you can see them on u tube space engineers and yes that was lightning storm which will kill you if it hits you can also press backspace to die instantly should turn guns back on as they are yours now and will help shoot enemies on way to your base

[@C-Squad3]

Kiiinnnggg Boooobbb. Love the videos my guy, great stuff. Getting set up to start a series of my own. Looking forward to seeing more and looking forward to my first contact run as well.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

Awesome man! Good luck!

[@pularis1629]

24:45 I really, really like the pistol with the crown. It’s just as fast as the “fast one” but does WAY more damage. Obviously Pro-1 rocket launcher, and then I vary between which rifle, but generally the most precise one. Pistol does go through blocks faster in my testing though, so crown pistol and rocket launcher are really all you need 28:45 I mean, he’s not wrong, they are damaged when he finds them, and they don’t have people in them, sooooooo…… details

[@kahvozeinsfang6953]

I don't know why, but I imagined using that whole freighter exactly like it is on a solar tower setup. It reminds me of Malcolm's line in Jurassic Park. "Your Scientists Were So Preoccupied With Whether Or Not They Could, They Didn’t Stop To Think If They Should" 😂

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

😂

[@Dagonius.]

Your respawn Timer Block: Additionally tell it to "start" its self. This creates a loop. So you only need one button, to switch off the survival kit. You might have to increase the delay for it to work better. 1 minute Or use an Event controller to detect if the Survival Kit is off and trigger a timer that will turn it on after a given time. Also: Before using up a massive amount of space for such electronics, I always slap down a Hinge and add a small hinge part and stuff the thing with timers, Event Controllers,... Every one of my bases and ships has one of these "Servers". And they look so effin cool, too! I use the datapads all the time. They're handy little notebooks.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

Now that’s a good idea! The size was really bothering me which is why I only did the one timer.

[@Coolguy-wl9ng]

You should combine the ships with merge blocks.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

yeah for sure, I just have to figure out exactly where I want them

[@waveclaw]

Space Engineers is very 3D, so I would make use of the vertical as well as the horisontal. For the L-shaped ship, I would have flipped it upside-down, connected the bottoms of the exiting two yellow ship. Then I could rip out the assemblers and move them into one side (say the bottom) and put all the refineries in the top. Storage in the middle can be piped up and down and out for easy drop off by ship. Then you have a side for power and living where the old blue ship is and a side to build that shipyard you talked about. Although I would have gone symmetrical with two solar array spires extending where your platform is out both sides then built the shipyard "behind" the station with docking on the "front" for completed ships or even a weapons array.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

So many great ideas! Im really enjoying how creative I can be in this game.

[@RvnKnight]

Space Elevators are a thing, there's one shown as a loading screen.

[@SwiftTurtle911]

28:41 right when you said “hey guys I’m Bob” I looked up and this guy walked by my office, his name is also Bob. . . 😂

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

That’s awesome! 😆

[@rameymj]

Looking good Bob. GG

[@jmferretmaster]

Use an offset door against your cubed sliding door to make a 1x1x1 airlock... still lose a little bit of air but you won't need to depressurize all the time.

[@roelcoenders5669]

Survival kit/ medbay timer block. Set timer to 5 min. Put in medbay / kit to be set on. AND put in the timer block self action “start”. Now it wil loop and you only need button to deactivate to teleport Or Use a eventcontroler to “Watch” the on/off state of the medbay. If of start the timer. I allways use the first one on servers. Just to be sure the bay comes online.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

Nice! Thanks for the help!

[@DawgSoldier]

Making a small grid tug ship so you can fly around large parts and rearrange large parts of salvaged ships into your station.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

Good idea!

[@DawgSoldier]

@@SurvivalBobGaming the work shop has a lot of LG and SG tug ships blue prints if you need inspiration or importation.

[@jmferretmaster]

Love the series but i giggled when i saw your inset connector used in a way that makes it not inset😂

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

lol, I know right! I was like meh, that's fine. Maybe I'll stick something to it if I get around to armor. lol

[@mediocreman2]

The reason that outpost didn't attack you is because it's neutral to you. The alarms were set to go off for other reasons.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

It was neutral until I got close. The guns fired at me when I was screwing around outside. I’ve run into a few more that show up white and still attack when you get close. Be careful out there.

[@StellarisIgnis]

@mediocreman2 Yeah this isn't true anymore. There are some new faction bases that will attack if you enter certain range even if they are neutral with you. Sometimes they won't attack unless you try breaking in but they will immediately attack if you do.

[@flowahpawah5397]

I downloaded SE tpday, gonna play some next week.. You made me want to play again!

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

Awesome! I hope you enjoy it!

[@Kami8705]

To respawn, you can just hit backspace and die instantly.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

So, stop choking myself? Good idea

[@leonielson7138]

I think you should merge the other refinery ship to the bottom of the first refinery ship.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

🤔 like a mirror image?

[@Guh1234-p4b]

why not just disable auto-respawn??

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

I wasn’t aware of it, but now I have. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@GhostOfSnuffles]

I set up my survival kit respawning with a single button activation by using two timer blocks set up to switch the kit off then back on automatically. I'll name one timer block "Kit on" and the other "Kit off", then set their toolbars as follows Timer block Kit off = Kit timer OFF block (start), Survival Kit (Off), Kit timer ON block (start), Kit timer block OFF (stop). I'll set this timer for 2 seconds. Timer block Kit On = Kit timer ON block (start), Survival Kit (On), Kit timer block ON (stop). I'll set this for 1 minute. Then I'll put the Off timer block on a button as (start). That way with a single button press the kit will turn itself off in two seconds then back on in one minute with the timer blocks resetting themselves. Then, for dramatic effect once i put away my tools i'll jetpack into the nearest wall at full speed.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

😂you must have dramatic effect! I thought about using two but since it was on my prospector I was trying to save room. I like the way you do it though. I just wish Timer blocks weren’t so damn big.

[@rameymj]

Oh no. Bob dropped into the Internet black hole for 7 hours.

[@curiousc123]

Ya think you link them together with merge blocks

[@andrewfraser7818]

Hi bob your probobly getting tired of seeing my name. But for your "possile living station" at about 10 minutes.. if you attached a advanced rotor and a hinge set up a event contoller to follow the sun, put in a gravity generator and you living space could be a rotating solar dish outside stable housing inside

[@StellarisIgnis]

You can also set the station itself to follow the sun with solar panels. Although depending on how you do it, you might need a script.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

So you are saying make the whole station follow the sun? 🤔

[@StellarisIgnis]

@@SurvivalBobGaming Yeah I am not sure if it is possible with just the turret block, but if you have Isy's Solar tracking script it will use your thrusters and have the ship follow the sun. You might be able to pull it off with the AI blocks in game, but I am not sure.

[@magnagazoo4863]

This is me a 1000 hours back :)

[@arcamean785]

To be fair while slower an atmospheric craft allows you to carry lots of loot... while I had advocated for a Sparrow (small nimble craft) I'd like to revise that for a "Lawn Dart". Similar to the sparrow it's small but instead of a gun it has a drill whos purpose is to create a large hole so dangerous insertions into hostile territory are possible with minimal risk to the current iteration of bob. True bob clones are always coming off the line but bobs are expensive or at least outfitting them is so extending the shelf life is a worthy investment.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

🤔Now that's an interesting idea

[@karyjas1]

0:15 Unfortunately that is good news to you, not to the watchers However the episode was a bit more enjoyable anyway

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

It was a pain in the ass for me. I spent all day trying to recover it. I’m glad you liked the episode though. Would you rather see less building in the moment and more show and tell afterwards like I did here?

[@karyjas1]

@@SurvivalBobGaming I see, thats unfortunate. I think it doesnt matter which way you go. As far as i understand the most enjoyable content is one where there is constant progress towards a goal you set. Extra limitations make it more interesting for example, becouse you have more interesting problems, and as a result more interesting solutions. So ill just ask you to make sure to not be aimless, and try making good solutions to the problems you face. And perhaps do some sort of tricky run at some point that wouldnt have an easy solution, but one that is possible and would be cool

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

@@karyjas1 thanks! I’ll do my best! I think cobbling the space station together and making it look and function well will be a good one for me and the to do lists really help me stay on task. I do have a tendency to get distracted by shiny objects but I’ll try to keep those interment as I work towards the overall goals I set.

[@karyjas1]

@@SurvivalBobGaming Doing your best is what matters. Best of luck

[@StellarisIgnis]

Something was odd with your claim of that outpost. You should not have been able to access any of the cargo inventories. You might have an admin control on or something.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

Shit, You are right! I checked the settings again and had use any terminal still active. I've turned it off. Good catch! Sorry about that.

[@magnagazoo4863]

You have failed me for the last time... (not really)

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

But I have so much more to fail in! 🙏🏻

[@TheMasterdisaster14]

U literally do this for several years now and still mess up every third recording. Its not like u are uploading 3 different games every day but one series ☝️. Maybe you should have some clipboard above your pc to remind u of basic steps. 😂

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

🤷🏻‍♂️you’ve seen me try to play games. Why you surprised?

[@MrAwesomdary]

Could use the new corridor blocks to connect the base together, they look great and would work great with your station, and then hang some solar panels below it on a rotor and hinge with a camera and use the turret controller to make it follow the sun

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

I need to look at those blocks. Good ideas!
