No Suit Survival: Ep. 1 Lightning - Space Engineers

[@n_apyr6612]

This is gonna be fun, not for you, but for me.

[@mask3dpara3d3e4]

I agree and I have already found several ways to make his process go way faster then what he's doing and Im having lots of fun watching this

[@Sinpsycle]

I love the light piano music while frantically working to fix your base and rover while constantly suffocating. Thanks for visiting my worst nightmare.

[@joyhoward6105]

Conclusion: never pressurize the base, if you do then Zeus gets mad at you and smites you

[@RmFrZQ]

Ah, yes, survival mode of Space Engineers with randomized weather and meteor shower events every 20min striking player directly since game's inception.

[@mekafinchi]

I like how emergency rations means eating rocks, it feels very in character for the engineer

[@Stoney3K]

If your planet is low-oxygen, why not use an air vent (set to depressurize, mounted out) and an O2 tank and have unlimited air? You could also setup an emergency cockpit with an air vent in case you run out of breath. Oh and BTW, lightning is attracted by antennas.

[@snipusmaximus]

I was going to say the same thing...i generally do that anyways on even on rich O2 planets too because any ice would not get diverted to O2, which maximizes hydrogen use from ice

[@snipusmaximus]

Also lightning is attracted to decoys too, so placing a few decoys would be good if/when you get that far in the tech tree, slap on a heavy armor half block on top so that way lightning doesn't penetrate the armor

[@Deathbomb9]

Theres a mod that makes antennas lightning rods. Mostly the lightning is a bit random. Also, I'd likely play with the damage from weather off. But it would be nice if they could make it to where you have to ground a grid during a storm. Like having mobile grids hooked to static ones to avoid damage and if an engineer is in the open they take a good bit of damage but if they are in a base then the damage is minimal. Minor if they are in a ship, and the ship takes damage if it's not grounded. That would be a pretty cool mechanic to see worked in somehow. If not, then I'd just have weather off myself till I wanted to die over and over lol.

[@unclegreybeard3969]

Lightning actually targets the character, antennas & decoys act as lightning rods, each hit to your character will take away 80% health and has an area of effect for about 2.5 blocks in each direction, the best defence is an underground installation.

[@pinstripe7839]

I agree. The outdoor set to depressurize has always been a lifesaver.

[@kspn78]

You have demonstrated quite nicely in one video why I use the 'No Lightning Damage' mod :)

[@josephhurst4902]

29:16, Considering the Number of Storms you keep having why dont you just build a NEW BASE where 100% of the base is under a layer or two of Soil. That way the Lightning can try as hard as it wants but it wont mess up the base. Might kill a Air Lock or two but wont KILL the entire base.

This series is literally 'Engineers thrive in constant crisis', but for crazy space engineers.

[@ehrickettelhut294]

Loved it so far! Surviving through getting absolutely screwed due to thing completely outside of your control is some of the best stories!

[@MadMavn]

Haha thank you! I'll tell you what as I'm editing ep 3 right now..... it gets worse before it gets better hahaha!! Thanks for tuning in.

[@Assassinwar]

Spoiler alert: he did

[@joshnabours9102]

31:15 - when you are dealing with the power involved in a bolt of lightning it will conduct through really anything. It is more effective to guide lightning in the direction and path you want it rather than attempting to employ materials that block it. This is the entire concept behind lightning rods. Also, From what I understand cars in particular are reasonably safe in lightning storms because the metal shell of the car guides the lightning around you and down through the tires to be dispersed in the ground. It is less likely to harm you in a car because it is not flowing through you. It is flowing through the body of the car.

[@joshnabours9102]

@@manitoba-op4jx No. Not in general and not for lightning. The fact that you can answer your phone and text in a car shows how they do not act like Faraday cages at all. Phones don't work in a Faraday cage because the cell service signal is blocked by the Faraday cage.

[@joshnabours9102]

@@manitoba-op4jx It is more of a pet peeve than anything honestly. I just don't understand why the common analogy is a Faraday cage when a better and more accurate explanation would be that the frame of the car acts like a lightning rod. I mean, what could be a better analogy than a lightning rod for why a car is reasonably safe during a lightning storm? How did such an obvious analogy get overlooked?

[@joshnabours9102]

@@manitoba-op4jx @manitoba2445 technically pretty much all forms of EMI shielding are essentially a ground wire electrically isolated from the thing you are trying to protect. The shape, current capacity and designed purposes of the shielding are the big differences between them. The EMI shielding in a Coax cable would be just as good of an analogy as a Faraday cage because it surrounds the wire to protect it. Coax cables are not a good analogy for how the frame of a car protects from lightning by surrounding you either though. It is an example of what I would call a "brute force" analogy. They are only similar on a surface level. The closer you look the more different they are. Functionally it is the equivalent of saying the chevy blazer from the 80s is no different from the new blazer because they both are trucks. Yes, they are both technically trucks/SUVs, but only one of them is capable of towing things and going off road. The other is a fancy looking van with better emissions and fuel economy.

[@Deathbomb9]

All I was thinking this whole time as the screen is flashing red and you have an airtight building and the O² is low but present is why not put a vent on the outside and set it to depressurize and fill your tank. This is a Splitsie thing that he actually did in his survival impossible. I can see I'm a little late on that advice lol.

[@aitheta8770]

this may not mean much coming from one person; but out of all S/E playthroughs i find yours to be the easiest to connect with and find myself having a good time every video throughout this series thus far.

[@ViroMad]

[@markbrown9765]

Just found this series. Really looking forward to it. Only thing I'd suggest so far (for future series like this) is, before you begin, go into a 'safe' mode and go over your assets. I'd really like to see that miner from more than the cockpit as well as a quick run down of your base. Maybe those are coming in future episodes. Something to look forward to.

[@Lionsbane-fn3lv]

This is probably one of the best SE series' I've seen in a long time. On to my second watch-through while I wait for episode 22

[@siagrim701]

so i am just starting this series (way late i know) and am greatly looking forward to it. in regards to your unfortunate luck with lightning destroying all your rover tires, i decided to ask chatGPT about a theoretical in regards to lightning and higher gravity planets. i thought one of its points was interesting and applied here. ill paste it below! ChatGPT - Intensity and Energy: Lightning in a denser atmosphere might be more intense. With more atmospheric particles to ionize, the energy discharge of a single lightning strike could be significantly greater, making it more dangerous in terms of thermal and blast effects.

[@ErickXavier]

This is the first video I'm watching from your channel and I already love it :) Seriously... If you 'dont lose the hand' (brazilian expression for not losing control/not exagerating) I believe this sound effects and musics are going to make your channel an incredible one :) I subscribed to keep following your progress! :D

[@basbekjenl]

this is just what I wanted to share the pain dealt by zeus, thunder is no joke

[@zrebbesh]

One of my favorite mod worlds had high gravity, low air pressure, no water, deep ores. Not enough air pressure for atmospheric thrusters, not enough hydrogen for hydrogen thrusters. (and also didn't use airplane parts). Short version of the story: No flying at all, use oxygen farms to breathe, and The only way to leave is to build a 40-km tower.

You should totally paint the stuff you build a different colour than the rest of the base. I think it'll look cool to see the shapes evolve and stuff.

Just started watching your Season, I like it, I would either add another roof Over the top of your Base, or I tend to dig underground at first, so my Valuable machines and stored items are safe IF I have Lightning or meteors going, They Home in on you, ... another option is Run/Drive away from Base and Into a Hole when it starts. Next question, why didn't you start by the lake ? The first thing in Real survival is resources, you build close and Water(ICE) is a Key resource. ... also about your Door, Add a vent that decompressions back into the main room so it sends air back into the main room, not out the other door when open it. ... good stuff keep it up

Its cool seeing small channels blow up because they have either a unique or good idea and go forward with it. After this series is over keep up the unique stuff and you might explode.. Two big series in a row is probably good on the algorithm.

[@dham99]

This is pretty much how difficult the game should be to start. My biggest concern is that Pertam's weather is very OP, however. I've had lightning kill me 3-4 times within 20s...ill respawn, run out BAM! over and over. Or it'll strike right above me, when im 100m under a mountain. I would love to play with a couple ppl on a server in a small community set up like this...where players have to actually work and grind to survive

[@dragonking972]

this looks really fun

[@-Sere-]

idea: make a 1 block corridor between inside and outside doors. grate on floor allows you to walk over, but blower decompresses the short corridor back into the base's room. Airlock doesn't lose air anymore from entry/exit. In case of storm, airlock can be pressurized.
