CORRECTION: There is in fact a vanilla small grid door, thanks @MrMonkehmonkeh (James Martin) for pointing me towards it. I'll have updated the ship making it 100% vanilla!

[@ARockRaider]

yah that one came out with no fanfare and is hidden behind it's LG counterpart.

[@chrishoppner150]

For some people "vanilla" means no mods. For others, it means no DLC. Y'all some serious purists lol

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

​@@chrishoppner150 True, I got used to the term back when there was no DLC, so I still use it to mean nothing but the base game blocks. I don't know if there's a better one now.

[@hakunai7227]

Long live the almighty brick

[@Bancheis]

That is a sweet little ship! I love all the detailed bits and the buttons. Very user friendly. Definitely looking forward to seeing this on the workshop.

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

It's now on the workshop, hope you enjoy! steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2899138745

[@spicybacon7629]

You always make your ships look so nice It really shows how much the little details really matter

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

Thanks! Function has always been top priority for me (and always will be), but in the past I overlooked form entirely. Now that I'm comfortable ensuring high quality function I've been putting much more effort into form.

[@raytorflurch9155]

Thank you very much for sharing this great creation and showing all the details in this video. I really love sophisticated concepts and if the design is also nice, that is a great plus on top of it. I will definitely try it out in my next survival session in SE!

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

Thanks, I hope you get some good use out of it.

[@heighRick]

Thanks Shifty, helps a lot

[@kaimortensen3390]

Supreme brick

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

It is indeed.

[@keeper1978]

Awesome stuff shifty can’t wait to see it on modio and use it along side the Luna

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

For now it is uploaded on the Steam workshop. I need to look further into the modio user agreement. Publishing things there appears to give them partial ownership and as a content creator I may run into issues monetizing things because of it. If there is no problem I will upload it there asap, and let you know.

[@keeper1978]

@@ShiftyshadowTV as an amature content creator myself please let me know , I have used stuff from modio in my content with the permission of the creators and now you got me wondering

[@radamesalvarez-rivera6719]

Nice build I hope to see it on our server so I can take it for a spin

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

It will certainly be there, and you'll be welcome to try it out any time.

[@AlanGChenery]

Pressurised utility vehicles which fit through a double large gate! That's my jam. :P Unfortunately I've got a bad habit of using those double gates as vertical drop belly hangars and nothing useful fits through them like that. Lol.

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

Maybe I'll make something for you, what do you need?

[@GhostOfSnuffles]

You small grid ship building ability is top notch.

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

Thanks! I've really gotten into small grids over the past 6 months. Still learning new things each time I build one.

[@ElusiveGhost]

I love the overall design of the Nora ❤

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

We might have to make a fancy small grid for the fleet. I've actually already drawn up plans for a two seater similar to this.

[@CardPegasus9648]

Very nice ship about to print it in my survival

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

Nice, hope you get some good use out of it, and let me know what you think. I'll be building more small grids like it and I'm sure there are plenty of things I could improve.

[@Averie69]

Air vents should apply thrust when venting air out, in space at least, i would totally use it for rcs thrust xD

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

That would be cool. It would let you use oxygen to move a little, reducing waste and making storing more oxygen worthwhile.

[@JamesAlexanderMartin]

I'm preeetty sure there is a vanilla small grid door that isn't DLC, it just isn't offset like that one. Added in the sparks of the future update I believe.

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

I honestly wish you were correct and I just went to triple check. However, that is the only small grid door made by keen, DLC or otherwise, and it does require the Sparks of the Future DCL purchase. Here's a screenshot of the door as a one block blueprint: ibb.co/BqsWGRW And a link to the SE store where it describes the door as being part of the Sparks of the Future DLC pack: www.spaceengineersgame.com/game/space-engineers-sparks-of-the-future/

[@JamesAlexanderMartin]

@@ShiftyshadowTV you are correct that the offset door is dlc but take the regular g menu door group, aim it at a small grid and there you will see the small grid vanilla door. Just labelled 'door'.

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

@@JamesAlexanderMartin Well then. HAahahah, that is excellent. Always something new to learn. I'll be designing another ship with this door, so I can make something 100% vanilla. Thanks for the heads up.

[@JamesAlexanderMartin]

@@ShiftyshadowTV haha, no probs! I was like 'preeetty sure' so as to hopefully not come across as abrasive but I was 100% sure. I remember I was in the midst of designing a whole swath of small grid airlocks when they came out. Equal parts frustrated and relieved. Ship looks great though and I think the offset doors you've used look better tbh.

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

@@JamesAlexanderMartin Thanks, I really do appreciate when people point out my mistakes. Don't worry about being too blunt or anything, I can be a bit dense sometimes, but I'll always be grateful in the end. It's better to be wrong and learn then to never know.

[@WhiteLocust]

Good video 10/10

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)

[@PB8man]

Id love to see a large grid version. I know that somewhat kills the whole point of the ship, but small gird haulers dont really make sense and that wont hold up in a fight. Neat all the same tho. well done.

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

Thank you! I haven't polished an elaborate large grid in quite some time. Perhaps I'll give it a go again.

[@PB8man]

@@ShiftyshadowTV well, if you do ill definitely watch

[@sem785]

That looks great!

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

Thanks :D

[@DizzyDJW]

Can you reply to this comment once the Nora is available on the Workshop? I'd like to download it

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

Done, hope you enjoy! steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2899138745

[@Dagonius.]

Really nicely done Shifty. You put alot of work into this ship and thought things through. I wonder: How did you make all the doors close when the ship gets vented? Script? Which one?

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

Thanks :D Air Vents have a "set up actions" option, the first one triggers when your room reaches full pressure and the second triggers when you hit zero pressure. I set up timer blocks to "trigger now" off of the air vents so that I can have multiple things happen. No scrips were used for this ship (or any of my ships thus far).

[@Dagonius.]

@@ShiftyshadowTV OMG SE has an endless learning curve. I have 2400h on SE and never realized! LOL Awesome, thanks!

[@AnonNopleb]

@@ShiftyshadowTV Hold on, that is a thing? When was this introduced, Most Wanted? Tbh, I never took a good look at the terminal of air vents before...

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

@@AnonNopleb I'm not sure when they added that. I only noticed it about 6 months ago, but it could have been in there for years.

[@newfang6234]

I like ur style.😎

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

Thanks! I must say, your paint and detailing is much better. I tend not to push mine far past "acceptable" once I get the functionality where I want it.

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

As of today, this ships is 100% vanilla.

[@A.Person.Who.Exists]

The regular doorparthas a small grid varient.

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

Yup, not sure how I didn't know that for so long. Next ship will use it.

[@fakshen1973]

Ion thrusters can at least pull their own weight in thrust on a planet. Every bit counts when you're trying not to create a new crater.

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

Very true.

[@Koluherm]

Hello there, I am trying to replicate your ship setup using the workshop blueprint in a survival world, i've gotten everything else set properly, just trying to figure out how you did the main airlock lights! The toolbar for the Timer Block (AL Empty) and (AL Full) both have a missing item on slot #1. How do you get it so that it knows when there is air in the airlock or not?

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

I'll look into it and get back to you. I may have broken that in my most recent update to the blueprint. The air vents can detect if a room gets pressurized or depressurized, they have actions you can set up when those things occur.

[@Koluherm]

@@ShiftyshadowTV ahh okay so like the control seat actions that queue the alert system on and off, okay now I understand! I think I know what block is missing in that timer set as well, the green airlock light shown in the video was replaced with a 1x2 window above the interior airlock door. Thanks so much for your speedy response, and I absolutely love the ship design! Edit: I also used your ship printing guide to help me with printing this gargantuan small-grid shuttle, really saved me a ton of hassle. Thank you!

[@ghostdog0424]

could I reupload a non-dlc version of this with full credits if I get it working?

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

I'm planning to make my version on the workshop DLC free and incorporate some of the new blocks. Just need to replace a few doors, and move a vent and 4 timer blocks. In this case, I don't think it's enough of a change to warrant a reupload.

[@ghostdog0424]

@@ShiftyshadowTV great!

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

It is done. The Nora is now 100% vanilla.

[@calendil]

Its a box with greeble :P

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

100% correct. Designed on grid paper for optimal rectangles. Brick supremacy confirmed.

[@Hscaper]

I thought I saw this in horizon zero dawn!

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

Interesting, I've never played the game. Maybe subconscious inspiration? Looked it up but didn't see anything that I remember, or looks super close.

[@Hscaper]

@@ShiftyshadowTV Nora are the protagonist tribe name

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

Aaah, I see. Is it a good game? Looked kinda interesting.

[@Hscaper]

@@ShiftyshadowTV play it without any guides or looking up anything about it. Discover everything and figure it all out yourself. That’s the only way to play it :) the story will change your life

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

Awesome, thanks for the tip.
