We Got Attacked! | Space Engineers

Poor guy can't even grab a cosmic coffee in nearby NPC station without being attacked, haha. Really a fresh new start now with new big blue.

Quick hint: When it comes to dealing with masses of floating debris, don't use a regular gravity generator. If you use a spherical gravity generator, it draws everything towards it. You can just collect all the debris from the generator, or any surfaces they happened to get stuck to.

You might want to make a base on the moon below the station. If you made an underground moon base, for all your production, storage, and your medical, it would be protected from attack and you wouldn't be in the situation you were in. Another alternative to the moon is building inside an asteroid.

[@Triaxx2]

I think you can use collectors to absorb temporary cargo containers, but I haven't tested it.

[@PandemicPlayground]

Sounds like I should test this and several options. Thanks

[@csorgb05]

Build and repair has a clean up mode that would collect everything

[@halfcirclehranch]

I'm not sure if this works, but... when trying to connect a head on a piston, rotor, or hinge, try using a timer block, 1 second timer, and it has the commands to attach the piston / rotor / hinge, and start the timer again. If you get close enough for just one second, it'll attach. I've never tried this, so I don't know if that option is available with the timer block.

[@PandemicPlayground]

This does work, I've done it before. You can just trigger the timer block to start without the timer and it will cause an endless loop of attaching. However, I don't think there is an attach option for pistons unless you use build vision. I could be wrong but that's what I remember off the top of my head.

Great ship purchase. 🎖

[@sirbinyamin7636]

I love your videos man but when I see you build your base i thought wow that a great idea a base on piston like this every time you go away you retract the base in the save zone and it is save but never did you use it 🤔 also you should use your build and repair to dismantle the ship you "collect ". If you color the ship to be dismantled and configure your BnR they will do the job for you...

[@PandemicPlayground]

Thanks. I should have converted it to a ship and retract it when I'm away and in regards BnR, really trying to limit its use except to repair, but might as well use it as intended to speed up some processes

[@sirbinyamin7636]

To get your pistons back from the station use a landing gear on your ship and disconnect them from the station and bring them out of the save zone them murge them and reconect to the station and voila 😊

[@PandemicPlayground]

I think I can landing gear it only outside the shield. But not worries about losing a few mats... The 42k of construction components however..... Lol

[@Triaxx2]

@@PandemicPlaygroundCould build a grapple. Just fold around it and once it's loose, push it out of the zone and with an auto locking pad it should grab as soon as you're out of the bubble.

[@MrHTCLover]

You could just use magnetic plates, I know merge blocks are the new blue big ship USB ports however you can't beat old fashioned enginuity.... Different kind of maths, with the new kid on the block... Just magplate maneuver quick fix your ships, it does look like a fresh quicky though. How long have you existed for and how long have you played space engineers?

[@sourabhmajumder]

You could have used BuilAndRepair to get all the components from the cargo remains.

[@PandemicPlayground]

That works right? I thought about it afterwards lol I'm sure grinding it had no merit...

[@jeremywright8231]

Grinders will get the briefcases I tested it

[@vicflaggon6124]

Me thinks , you need a asteroid base.. 🤔 it’s gotta be more defendable ? Oh well GG … bummer about the losses ..
