Lunch Facility is Taking Shape - Scrapyard #29

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

Capac?: "Lunch facility? About time, I'm starving."

[@armastat]

I dont know what makes it so different in Space Engineers but the organic feeling you get by watching a group of people moving around in buggies, rovers and ships as well individuals walking or flying around as things are moved and built just seems so ... right. No other game I know does that.

[@ethanthereenactorguy4829]

Arma games if you get a server of competent people can emulate that.

[@armastat]

@@ethanthereenactorguy4829 I was commenting that there is something abt SE that just makes it 'feel' different than other games. that it just looks more natural, I know other games can do it too, just saying SE for some unexplainable reason just does it better.

[@ethanthereenactorguy4829]

@@armastat I see what you mean. Even with cross platform servers Space Engineers manages to somehow be more controlled and feel natural. I think a lot of it has to do with the game having the chillest player base ever.

[@H4nib4L]

That was very pleasing to see in the timelaps, the whole growing process would have been awesome to watch. How everyone is doing most of the time his own stuff but projects just fits perfect together. 😅I was really a bit jealous, not being part of that. Maybe once in the future...😉 @Splitsie Thanks for the content @everyone else Thanks for the support💪😎

"Lunch Facility" sounds like corporate speak for a massive cafeteria.

[@JUNIsLuke]

Helooooo

[@Splitsie]

You nailed it, that's exactly why 😂

[@chadp6307]

I love the PUN of the launch facility being the lunch facility because it is so just U. Despite the few bits of "I wasn't intending that" happening, the whole complex is really taking shape. That twin-connector swing arm is pretty ingenious, as is the control valve setup. You've had the Nugget there, and now the Crane.. the only thing missing is bringing over the Tele-Handler to help with some of the lifting.

[@Frosty-1098]

My brain could not keep a project like this going with week-long breaks between. Splitsie is another breed.

[@_Kitetsu]

56:18 Heresy!! -agreed That aside, and unrelated, I see Frosty as being on a "whole other level" as far as a Space Engineer. MUCH Repect to him. ..although I can't help but also mention Fool also. He's a smart one. You may think he just builds huge, and most may think he's "that guy with the over large fancy monster truck", but I notice things. There's reasons behind all that. The way he's utilizing his mobile base, all the stuff on it, etc. He even raises his mobile, assumingly making it static? Mad respect to him also.

[@Splitsie]

Yup and the two of them are doing some really fun things being part of the 'NPCs' group in Wrong Way Out :)

We must assume that something is coming if it helps that one feeling you have The question is what could it possibly be

[@ToddTalksTech]

For extra creepiness, put and emotion controller face on your folding tank docking. With the two mag legs the grid looks like a well bellied person with a small grid connector......... um never mind. (Facepalm) can't unsee it.

[@Dinkleberg96]

Splitsie after the season it's over could you please make the map public on the steam workshop so people could travel around and visit everyone's bases and see how they have done things, uncover easter eggs those players may have left behind, kinda like we're from the future visiting that ancient old plannet that a great civilization left behind. I think that would be really nice 😁

I am in love with the animals, especially the hotdog, its so adorable!!! You need to have a be right back screen with the hotdog chasing the cat while the pig sleeps behind them. Not sure if it should be cartoon animated or space engineers animated though...

[@Splitsie]

Ufol and Arstraea did a really good job with them :)

[@unclegreybeard3969]

The obvious missing facility is the airfield control tower. 👀👀

[@chessbotter]

Just watched this whole series -- loved it! But very disappointed we never got a functioning train whistle 😂

[@carlwear1249]

A couple of suggestions to fix the problem at the beginning where the truck couldn't line up with the connector . 1) Adjust the wheel height. 2) A couple of sloping blocks on the ground in front of the connector to just give the trailer a slight lift lift the last meter so its the right height. 3) 2 pistons on the back of the trailer with small wheels attached. Lower them to give the back a slight lift and raise them when ready to disconnect.

[@elzettelittle5089]

Nice video love the scenario and series

[@thefatcat2790]

When in doubt, diner it out!

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

You so could have just used either the large magplate or normal landing gear for the folding connector. Yes, the landing gear being sideways and thus asymmetrical would have likely been the best option and, well, it looks weird, but it certainly would have neatly worked. Regarding 'it's hard to think of what else to do than diners and bars' I could definitely see a decorative parking lot (possibly also as a scrap dump for resourcing - go out, find stuff with good loot, haul it back for extraction there, leave the vehicle husk in the lot), an air traffic control tower, a quite long line of spokes with little lights on them down the runway's length, and one of those big container cranes you see at harbors with stacks of containers to match.

[@emiliawhit]

[@haimmynz1903]

Love the realistic level of bars in the launch facility. It is as accurate as any Australian City. 😂😂😂

[@JohnDickinson]

Every airport I visit... has a long human transporting conveyor belt, to get from concours to concours.

[@milesellis7025]

Splitsie u should make it so when the fold down connector is connected to a vehicle then it turns off the timer block but when its disconnected it turns it back on so people cant accidentally fold it with a grid connected

[@evlkenevl2721]

I've been itching to play a scrap setting since this series started. Glad I held off, since I'm currently building the best-looking base I've ever done. Scrap will be next, for sure.

[@Splitsie]

I love playing this way, it's the only method I've found for making exploration in space engineers feel relevant 🙂

[@Pystro]

You probably could have achieved a proper height offset for the magplate on the fuel truck hookup if you made the two paired hinges in the middle articulation point go to 45° and 135° from their folded up position. Would have caused a slightly unsightly "kink" in the deployed position though.

[@Splitsie]

Yeah that's a valid point, but I did kinda want it to be a nice straight line :D

[@XtrovertedHermit]

lunch facility and launch facility is taking shape

[@kitsueb]

Ah 30:00 the seed for Wrong Way Out, when Splitsie realized he could make a big manual steering wheel with grabby hands

[@Splitsie]

I think that moment was more the fertiliser, the idea had been in my head for a while, but this was such a timely reminder especially with the use of grabby hands that it just all clicked into place :)

[@diazinth]

A Sandwich sounds nice and appropriate

[@thedeadwookie25]

Love this series. This should be an official game mode IMO. Also, there is a typo in the video title--launch--but with so many eating establishments maybe it was deliberate? ;)

[@Splitsie]

It was on purpose 😂

[@crusader_325]

Finally catch up! Can't wait to see the finale..

[@spyke1890]

Given the amount of hydrogen stored there, I hope to see some no smoking signs and caution tape as well! Not that blowing up your base before launch wouldn't be entertaining. A few ideas for additions since you have food an booze sorted: tattoo parlor, urgent care, decent hotel and ground control tower of course (planet and space with all of the antennas and weather instruments) and finally security office since space cowboys get a little rowdy

[@armastat]

just one word fenced off 'Petting Zoo' next to the cafeteria (at the very least the aroma will be welcome).

[@daz8405]

Anyone else get BoozeBus flashbacks when Splitsie mentioned the 'runway'? Looking forwards with excitement, and some sadness, to the launch/final episode. And whatever contraption you build to 'lunch' with.

Don't fret, no boozebus flashbacks required here, I've got a different plan in mind ;)

[@Dan_1764]

Could use automatic LCD (or similar) to do a display for the tank farm. Other option is to use event controllers and lights. This would also be visible from a distance. Might still want the LCD in the fuel warehouse to see a total fuel stored.

[@enginerd1985]

I'm amused that @Splitsie entirely missed that there was a piped up connector a "safe" distance from the runway. He even walked the completed pipe for a few minutes at about the 25-minute mark.

With the fuel trucks it would be amazing to see a fleet of vehicles and bring OpenTTD into SE just with a different type of dangerous driving!

[@hayded1]

I am SO late to the series and i'm only about 10 episodes in, but if you were to graft a large grid hydrogen engine onto one of the locomotives that would be epic! Like a real life diesel locomotive

[@Its_Gamer_Boy24]

Im curious if a server room would be a good thing to have at the launch base. Just something that monitors fuel levels, energy levels, material crafting/amounts, etc... just a thought. Edit. Got further into the video and a drill hub thiught popped up. It could be something that just drills for resources that way the base can continuesly be building materials, but i also know yall are trying to just use what you scrap so maybe thats not a good idea

[@thedaveed1]

If the trick is the same launching system that you had in RV's at War to launch your truck off the planet, I called it. I can't think of another reason you want such a large and open area in the launch facility other than to put in a catapult. Granted, you have a lower speed cap, but still.

[@nigelwarburg6184]

hey Splitsie! I'm catching up on this series of yours and I just had a random idea watching you guys do the crane stacking games, an idea about cranes on a vehicle. would it be possible to make the crane on a vehicle a subgrid (with a seat to control it from ofcourse), and then also have arms attached to that subgrid that stick out with pistons attached that are pushing down to lift the vehicle up and lock it to the ground? like this the main grid would be kinda dangling off of the subgrid and the subgrid with the crane would be locked to the ground. would that be stable? or would something explode because subgrids and pistons do weird things? :p anyway, hope you or someone with a lot of Space Engineer know-how sees this!

[@azazeldeath]

I wanted to join the server but was too broke when it started. Will possibly join next. My biggest question is, what is latency like for people from Australia? Ive noticed as an Aussie servers have only 3 settings. Ultra low latency (rare af and always local), high latency but "playable" (US servers mostly, around 300ms) or....completely unplayable 800ms+ (europe, asia, asia pacific). Also are fairly rusty players welcome? Last i played SE for any real amount of time was near its release.

[@bryanedwards5064]

If I recall correctly, the Scrapyard server is physically located in Sydney - so the Aussies have a big advantage for latency/ping. I login from California and my ping is from 230 - 340 ms.

[@azazeldeath]

@bryanedwards5064 oh wow I cannot say how much I hope that is true, also makes me want to know the hosting company as it's hard to find good game server hosting here

[@Splitsie]

Since I'm located near Sydney I nearly always have servers here, for the sake of the videos it's best I'm not seeing too much of the latency induced weirdness

[@azazeldeath]

@Splitsie that is very true, and yeah, we don't have many good choices outside of aus and nz for good latency, especially for recording stuff that you plan to upload. Well that settles it for me I will join next round. Thank you.
