Getting Started In Space Engineers - Episode 1

[@SteelWalrus]

Be careful about mining out nodes and then leaving them, the game deletes excess loose objects after a while.

[@Blazha88]

It deletes more than 50 (by default settings), so when 51st object drops - 1st gets deleted.

[@Matas-lp9rz]

I do it all the time on my iron node

[@catsoelite2551]

Im happy to see more people play space Space Engineers

[@tonyr.5652]

@ognistylisel there's a whole lot of ppl, splitsie is a pro...

[@nikidesignsolutionsandgami1518]

I don't really like this game. I chose Stormworks as I was aflicted by the need to find something where the main focus ain't building spaceships because I lothe this fetish people have to publish these space titles. Space is a Lovecraftian graveyard of civilizations. Plus being able to "design spaceships" ain't gonna get you a job.

[@gary6576]

@ognistylisel I remember watching laststandgaming like 7 years ago

[@SeanWMODonnell]

I can't believe the optimizations it actually runs now my computer!

[@Magnetis0101]

@ognistylisel This game is far from dead on YT

[@lilimpish99]

amazing start for your first time. few tips... have drill out when exploring for ores, hold " F " key while mining to pick up ores as you mine. dont leave too many ores on ground or they will get cleaned up. if you build a tower up 10 blocks high then place a block on each face, and 1 more on top, you can then place a turbine on each block and get a 5 turbine wind farm. that should perform at max output.(4 parallel with ground ) great work so far, curious to see what you do next : )

[@WinternGhost]

So this is by far one of my favorite games. I bought it back when it was just a tech demo and now to see an incredible KZbinr playing it just makes my whole year.

[@Ramash440]

I was playing a lot of SE lately thinking of how I wanted a game like SE with the complex mechanics of Stormworks. Then this showed up on my feed, coincidence of the century.

[@hunormagyar1843]

Too bad this only shows as much semblance of Stormworks as SE does since this is purely SE lol What I'd wish for is Stormworks but with the damage model of SE. And the optimalization of SE, save for the terribly laggy SE menu. lol

[@dunkelklinge]

There is an upcoming game called Starship Evo. It’s very early in development and has long ways to go, but it’s probably the closest thing to something like Stormworks in space.

[@dunkelklinge]

[@anotherone3340]

I've played this game a while ago. It gets really interesting when you try to automate mining

[@anotherone3340]

@@t_broek It works on mineral deposits in planets (I've never tried in asteroids). You build a quarry using pistons and rotors and then script it to zig zag through the area and get a little deeper every time it reaches the end, and then repeat the process.

[@cptray-steam]

I played Space Engineers before I ever found Stormworks. The game is a lot of fun, glad you enjoy it. What's really fun is designing and building a large spaceship and then proceeding to crash land on a planet to begin survival.

[@crystal-2869]

When I had been starting out, I had already been watching months worth of Space Engineers tutorials and just Gameplay content to see how it works, then I played creative for several months getting comfortable with the building mechanic, then when I did survival I had Several Mods, completely changed what the game would be if spawning normally, My current survival thing is working pretty well, though I saved my game after being attacked by a npc vessel.

[@Joseph0862]

I’m glad to see you branch out from only doing stormworks! Hopefully it goes well!

[@renners4053]

Your knowledge of this game and the way you have your toolbar all pre-prepared is way beyond that of a total noob.

[@SteveJaye84]

Yeah he's talking as if he's played it before.

[@D_Rogers]

A good trick is re-flying the noob pod... Add gyro and a remote, make sure you have parachute cloth, and you can fly to the nearest lake and parachute down on a nice fuel supply... :)

[@Bismarck-ns8ql]

This will be intresting to watch props going to be screaming a lot the basics he may miss. Oh well we were all there at one point. GL NJ

[@somecanadian1079]

I love space engineers, I am excited to see what you will do.

[@kyusango3311]

started watching your channel for your stormworks tutorials when i first bought that game and now your moving into a game I already have 4000+ hrs playing and love! defiantly going to be watching this one!

[@kyusango3311]

btw quick tip: hold T when your drilling by hand and you'll automatically pick up most of what your drilling.

[@Kenjuudo]

Finally, MrNJersey plays Space Engineers. I've been waiting for this. Sadly, I'm late to the show. I see you only have three episodes (and one is hidden), so am thinking you've encountered the typical SE tedium. You can eliminate _all_ of the tedium (such that you get easier access to the meat of the game, which is building and playing around with the builds) by learning these "tricks": - Say /gps in chat (enter) to quickly make a gps point. - Hold F while mining to grab at the same time. - Press Alt + Middle Mouse Button while pointing at a port to stash all resources and components in connected inventories. - Click the little box icon above the right inventory to view all inventories in the same grid (a grid is one station (or one vehicle) of connected blocks). Note that you can enable/disable inventories from showing up in the grid's control panel. - There's a build queue (press G, bottom right). Point on an unfinished building and press Right Mouse Button to add to the queue. - Press Shift + Middle Mouse Button while pointing at a port to add missing components from the build queue to the production queue of the grid you're accessing. - Press Middle Mouse Button while pointing at a port to retrieve any components available required by the build queue. - You've got an ore scanner built into the drill which has a 50 meter range. It only works when you're holding the drill.

[@awfulwaffle53]

I’m looking forward to seeing more of this

[@shawnboughner7654]

Good tip For the wind turbine if you make it eight blocks high and Eight blocks across from each other and away from any other structures you’ll have the best wind output you can get

[@apachesarge9263]

As a new player that wants to love this game. I’ll say this, right now you have a wow factor for first jumping in that’s to be sure, but after that in survival it takes a lot of mental effort to continue your worlds, that admin permission button is just too juicy and I never find myself sticking through my survival worlds, what I think the game could definitely benefit from are something like populated stations or platforms or anything randomly generated to add to the environment, new ai for earth like environments to defend against so you feel like the world is actually alive and then a proper pvp mode and this game would be amazing

[@ThatMartinGuy77]

If you have your welder in hand you can right click an unfinished item(refinery,assembler,block, whatever it may be) and it will add the remaining items you need to finish it to your build planner. You can then go to your survival kit or assembler and I believe it's middle mouse button and it will automatically set those remaining items into production. And then when those are done I believe it's shift middle mouse button and it will pull only those resources out automatically

[@Archimagus]

My biggest advice is to look at the tool tips on the screen. When you have your drill out, or an ore detector it will tell you if any ore is near you. Also, look at the tool tips when you hover over the yellow conveyor access. It will teach you how to use the build planner which is WAY better than trying to remember all the components needed and manually pull them. And don't mine a bunch of stuff and leave it on the ground, the game will only allow 64(by default) floating objects (the chunks of ore) before it starts deleting them.

[@Quantum-Bullet]

That helper bot is as annoying as progression system.

[@Lesminster]

What I usually would do when starting new server is to make a ship out of drop pod(some small rebuild required) and fly around until I find that perfect spot. Also, I'm not sure atm(haven't played for a while) but imo it is possible to have ore detector on it. So, make a ship, fly around, land where ore and water is, mark all ore veins you find during flight. Important to not settle a base till you are done with searching for all essential ore around. And don't mine till you're grounded ;)

[@jordynthompson7619]

Super cool to see you checking this game out.

[@thegonkshow2136]

I’d love to see this series continued, very cool, really nice change of pace.

[@seankingwell3692]

I can't believe that I didn't play Space Engineers before. I really want to play it. I hope that this survival mode thing leads to building space ships. I think its cool that you would build up your space colony from nothing into like having a space port thing were ships can be built. It makes sense that you need infrastructure on the ground of a planet in order to build space ships they don't come out of the thinness of the vacuum of space right.

[@Trapezoidalty]

btw when you set up a drilling rig, its more efficient to set up a hinge drill instead of a rotary drill

[@freedogg7358]

keep hold of the f key when you mining so you auto pick up saves you some time put gps markers down so you can find your ore, h key hides the markers

[@mysterious_monolith_]

This was awesome to watch! I already see you as a Stormworks genius, so I was interested to see how you would get started in Space Engineers. I've watched many videos about it but I have found it difficult to get used to, but watching you show what you define as priorities has been helpful to me figuring out how I'm going to progress. You rock!

[@MythosHB]

Oh it's one of those videos where the expert on "my new game" tries that old game where I have some expertise 😀

[@virtualplanespotter9192]

This is game needs to be know to be known by more people thank you for playing this.

[@ThalesMML]

Survival start is usually grindy until building the first mining vehicle. So, it's better to add cheap robotic arm to the respawn pod (and later to the base) using rotors+pistons and place a drill on it. Alternatively some players convert their pod to mining vehicle by adding wheels and drill.

[@TheToymaster11]

I turned mine into a mining ship. flying mining ship.

[@Quantum-Bullet]

Better start in space and build a large grid miner right away. You drill like 10x faster than using small grid.

[@secretslayer1234]

Glad it's back with no corruption this time Same tip again, wind turbines don't work on small or mobile grids

[@andyherle]

You should learn how to use the crafting cues and automatic pickup from an inventory (like grabbing the required materials for a structure)

[@muffinmaan7444]

Dunno if someone has said it yet, but you can use the /gps command for an easy GPS signal. For example "/gps Iron" in chat would save you going into your menu for marking gps.

[@chakatfirepaw]

I don't know if you've found/been told this yet: Typing "/gps MarkerName" in the game chat, (without the quotes), will create a GPS marker with the name "MarkerName" at your current location. This can be very useful while prospecting for ore or surveying routes for rovers.

[@LethalOwl]

Not sure if anyone told you yet, but you should add a thumb mouse button to the "use" key, so when you do manual mining you can just hold the thumb button and automatically pick up a lot of the ore as you mine it.

[@cptunderpantz9273]

Be careful creating more ore than you can carry, the system can only handle so many entities before it starts despawning them to create new ones.

[@AppeNappe]

I am super happy that this is now out. I can't wait to see your creative outlet through a completely new build system. Maybe we might even see some star wars. Can't wait to see what you do!

[@jamesscalzo3033]

Loved the video @MrNJersey! Can't wait for the next video man! If you need any more information about Space Engineers, there are some KZbinrs that I recommend you watch before you go any further, namely Captain Jack (Leader of Redwood Industries or RWI on his "Colony" series), TheXPGamers, and LastStandGamers, and see all the incredible creations that the community has made since Space Engineers released back in 2013. One thing of note for servers is that the player cap is 64, don't ask me why but that's what I've always seen on any videos of Space Engineers, and As for survival you will eventually be attacked by what are called "Reaver Encounters" or Hostile NPC ships that will try and kill you, as for Space Engineers itself there is no water unless you add mods for it, the most prominent of which is the one by Jakaria. All of this and more you'll find more easily on Captain Jack's Channel, like any of his Past Streams or any videos he's done.

[@americantank8831]

Omg it’s happening omg it’s happening and first

[@supersquirrelanimates6217]

I just heard about this game! And now my favorite Stormworks KZbinr is playing it!!!

[@unclegreybeard3969]

1 year on and I found your series so you might know this by now, There are 3 levels of 'Refineries', Survival kit, Basic Refinery and Refinery. The Survival Kit can only refine Stone and produces Iron, Nickel & Silicon ingots from it. The Basic Refinery can refine Stone, Iron ore, Nickel ore, Silicon ore, Cobalt ore and Magnesium ore. Note, The Basic Refinery produces Iron, Nickel & Silicon from Stone much faster than the Survival kit but - produces less ingots per 1k stone than you get from the Survival Kit which is why most players never collect the Stone once the Basic Refinery is up & running and deposits of ores are discovered. The Refinery can do all the above plus Silver, Gold, Platinum and Uranium ores.

[@Dagonius.]

Hey! It's so cool to see new players! This is fun. Can't wait for your reactions, as you progress and evolve... Big tips: 1. Press F while drilling to collect minerals immediately. 2. Use the in-game Build Planner. 3. Do what you want. 4. Have fun.

[@spacereavers1254]

nickel for power cell for battery and silicon for glass and other things and magnesium for ammo and platinum for jumpdrive and uranium for reactor to make a lot of power

[@Quantum-Bullet]

You can literally make batteries out of stone.

Don't forget it it's up,down,left,right, forward and back LOL I hit the mountain very hard and very fast. p.s. turn off the thrusters before you build them. I use 2 solar panels on either side for power. P.P.S don't forget that is your spawn point { if you thinking I had to start agian ofter that crash you would be right } P.P.S O one more thing guess what a gyroscope is for. { the mountains move fast around here }

Ha! been wanting to see you tackle this game for ages!

[@Tom-w]

Well first time comment and its not even on your main game, haha. Anyway, if you can get past the learning curve SE is a great game with lots to offer. There are a few must have mods though, things the base game should have done... One of them is "build vision" really its just a QOL mod. Im sure i and many others here could make a list a mile long but, you have the right idea, play the base game and get used to it first. Only thing i would 100% would change before you go any farther is turn off progression, it was an after thought to the game and honestly adds nothing but frustration. Of course thats just my opinion. I know i would love to see you explore space engineers more, it's good to change things up once and a while and as stated, I like anytime new people pick up SE! Thanks for the great content as well, learned a lot from ya over the past couple years!
