Building A Space Elevator - 30 Hours in 25 Minutes Compilation 2 | Space Engineers Time Lapse Series

[@roelofversluis6680]

I have no clue how this game works, but this is glorious. That crawling build platform is an engineering feat.

[@arkthefennecfox2366]

Amazingly enough, real life tower cranes can 'build' themselves in a similar fashion through a method called 'Climbing'

[@roelofversluis6680]

@@arkthefennecfox2366 amazing for sure.

[@boopjackrex7598]

@@arkthefennecfox2366 yeah, I’ve seen them build and deconstruct those cranes on and next to skyscrapers I’ve worked on in the past

[@MrChaos211]

well it helps to have an understanding of engineering, game kinda revolves around that lol

[@config8640]

It takes so long to weld these items and place them in game omg 😭

[@Comicsluvr]

I LOVE your welding ship! This video highlights one of the things that many people miss: You need to build the infrastructure to build the rest of the project!

[@tatzecom]

the yellow one? can be bought from a vendor in game for like 200k credits lol

[@longeres406]

Well, its just crazy, your skill is completely insane, man! And this welding ship is so good, that it impressed me even more, then elevator. My weilders always looks like a box, cos with all my skill and experience i cant beat huge crate and make it look good. Ty a lot for example, now i can finally create a gorgeous one.

[@gravewatcher6690]

absolutely beautiful. I bet that space elevator lagged your game like crazy. Well done

Fizikailag lehetetlen! Ez egy átgondolatlan fantazmagória.

[@FathersFigures]

Incredible work, this is so impressive. I can’t believe it actually works without a hitch. I can barely get a rover to link up with a trailer without one of them clanging out and exploding.

[@TinyDragonGamer250]

This video has taught me two things. 1) you can make autominers and not have to do the work yourself. I usually play solo so its really hard having to constantly go back and forth for materials. 2) you can make autobuilders by having a contraption with welders and materials.

[@Aquav_c]

Is there a way you just make it place the block on its own instead of having to place the block in strut form

[@PhrooberCZ]

Engineer and movie director in one person...perfect

[@VernTheSatyr]

I love to see the potential of the game being utilized. Good stuff Engineer.

[@Hailstrumm]

one of the coolest parts of the video is seeing you innovate with your drill! lovely engineering work, Pandemic!

[@PandemicPlayground]

Thank you very much!

[@travistharp4215]

It’s nice to see someone remake the space elevator

[@MarkStLouis-ew5cu]

Amazing, I'm at a loss for words,, and that rarely happens.

[@dragonmaster1500]

This reminds me of something another KZbinr did back in 2017, not nearly at this scale though. Always cool to see people tackle megastructures like this.

[@DrUrlf]

Wow, your mining contraptions are amazing!

[@Foxkoun]

This video has got me thinkin on how i've been doin things and how to improve. Well done!

[@moosedraw3731]

Okay but naaah that welding rig that lifts up and keeps welding the bits below it is ace.

[@Fallout0SC]

A heap of really cool moments. Great vid.

[@ShiftyshadowTV]

Cool video. 5:27 I've done that exact same mining setup. I was mining ice on Pertam though. Looks like a lot of thrusters for an elevator, but it also looks heavy, so I'm guessing they were helpful.

[@MrChaos211]

im just amazed how smooth its running with all the subgridding

[@deadblazer8931]

All of this in only 30h ?? What an efficient engineer. In 30h i've not even learn 20% on what the game can offer to me (performance issue aside lol)

[@Foxkoun]

Aye i'm gonna be goin at this game alot, esp if i get a better system to handle it

you are crazy man 😃 fantastic build

[@Teneombre]

I have no idea how you manage to maintain a conveyor connection with the moving welder. Impressive job!

[@oleub23]

he didn't, you can see a couple times that he stops the entire thing, builds a connector onto the pipe shaft and hooks it up to restock on plate. 6:26 for example.

[@iloveplayingpr]

This is impressive!

Было бы хоть приближено к реальности, а так фантазия не имеющая ничего общего с физическими законами реального мира. Туфта одним словом.

[@TotoMacFrame]

Absolutely insane. Would be nice to find out if you could actually connect two celestial bodies using this technique :-D

[@floydsagor9547]

If you can surpass the build height limit, which I believe you can do with sub grids, then it’s technically possible. The moon is about 180km away from earthlike, and he probably got 20~ kilometers up, so it would definitely be a feat. Not to mention that if you built it at a angle/ in a place that wasn’t perfect, it would miss the moon entirely.

[@kaminofox6853]

Space Elevators are amazing until someone crashes into it or shoots it, then ur screwed lmao, awesome buld though, really cool

[@WardenWolf]

Beautiful work, though I admit I had to scream "NOOOO!" when I saw that vectored thrust ship. Those things were a fad a few years ago but they're super janky when trying to make precise maneuvers since they tend to move in a sine wave pattern when you tap the thrust forward and back. Not at all surprised you almost immediately converted it back to normal thrust.

[@mrboleus8240]

God is number one in building creativity of this game. You're second!

jeesst waiting for the actual build vid next.. lol I'm not much for watching reruns but that's me lol

[@tack3132]

30hrs in game would take us around 30yrs in real life to achieve, but the materials and structures that would need to be made would truly advance our societies.

[@davincimachen5517]

Should attempt a orbital ring around a planet, that would be spectacular

[@galaxyceiling4137]

It would topple over. Or buckle under that much weight. You need to work downwards, from geostationary orbit, and build a counterbalance in the opposite direction.

[@squigglesmcjr199]

This is so badass

[@OverdosedToast]

Wish I knew how to make the lift car... That honestly looks incredible 🥰

[@ondrejsim]

Hello, impresive build, love it :) We made something simillar, a tower of 16km, but we have performance issues. Removing one of the conveyors make the station into a ship for some reason and it starts collapsing. Have you encountered same issues?

[@PandemicPlayground]

I got to the point where removing any blocks by grinder or damage the game will lock for several minutes.

[@ansh19992]

So nice, Woooooow

[@SanraiDalris]

I've been thi king a lot about how i would do this lately. Id probably prefer merge blocks instead of landing gears, with a connector and central pipeline in the ca le for pumping resources up, given that the primary use of the elavator is moving resources to orbit.

[@willgnue2240]

Watched and 👍 Liked

[@Noctem84]

Impressive your base didn't exploded. Looks like a lot of clang. In our last game, we had build a partly underground moon base with big, auto orientating solar panels. Someday, everything blew up and several parts of the base exploded simultaniously. But maybe just someone let the handbreak on while his car was docked. In the end, we never established to finish an self building space elevator. Build limits, exploding things and detaching grids due to not rendered stuff, the game always found a way to destroy our efforts. Autominer btw. where also very prone to blew up one day (after working for a long while). Do you have any "clang avoidence" rules you follow to prevent damage? Like "no more than one subgrid" or "don't use merge blocks permanently" - I've seen you removing them all the time, or any kind of worshipping the clang god?

[@hexagon88-miller14]

have you "feeded" the elevator with steelplates manually with connectors welded manually from time to time on that middle conveyor pipe?

[@praefator]

Is this still feasible when used in combination with aerodynamic physics? Would be great to be able to make atmospheric entry/exit easier

[@blavena]

Awesome, dude, you could probably even connect planets with this sefbuilding elevator, immagine an elevator going from earth to the moon, how cool would that be?

[@assassinunknown6664]

I don’t think something like that would hold together

[@greenblits7509]

Is it too late to recommend adding a projector on the building machine to avoid having to reset the blueprints each time? Awesome work though!

[@neilbisschoff9173]

Do you control that underground drill with ASWD? That mining setup is awesome. Nice way to clear space for an underground base... and the space elevator build is next level! Well done!

[@PandemicPlayground]

The drill is controlled by mouse movement with the custom turret controller. It is possible to keyboard control it with a script.

[@Iceguide]

Dude U R nuts! How many thousands of hours have you spent in the game and may I ask you what your Job is?

[@oleg_saveliev]

Тоже как то строил лифт. Даже чертеж заливал в стим, затем почему то удалил. Правда у меня срузу готовая платформа со всей готовой инфраструктурой вверх поднималась и строила под собой . На любом этапе можно было на лифте подняться и спуститься. Очень прикольно выходило .1200м вроде построил.если не ошибаюсь в расстояниях. Давно не играл.

[@jarevik]

so sick! i lov it!

[@youvanced2226]

the music was odd but good video

[@brettfp]

This is great, love the design but if I were you I would avoid letting any passengers know how many vehicles you crashed/fell over during the construction

[@PandemicPlayground]

Shhhh. No one needs to know

[@CrazyCat229]

Are you using all vanilla blocks? Sorry, I haven't played in many updates. Thinking about getting a new server up and running for it though. I have missed creating.

[@Fenrill06]

it's rare but here I admit, I was impressed ^_^ how many blocks this monster ?

[@ranyakumo3887]

Chuck Norris is the only one who knows

[@canitbeapplied2500]

I'm surprised it only took 30 hours. I've got my space elevator builder going and I just did the math, its gonna take like 60-ish hours to build it to 20km, and mines not as fancy as yours.

[@canitbeapplied2500]

Update on my elevator: I tripled the number of welders and adjusted my pistons and timers accordingly. Now it should be done in 19-ish hours, if my base can provide adequete resources to build the structure. Which it should be able to.

[@engineerv8696]

How dp you get up to the top of the elevator to restock ot and alter it etc??

[@deafmadgamersparanormalmic4591]

How you do that screen with programmable box? It like they can read your collection on how many resourceful you dig.

[@deafmadgamersparanormalmic4591]

And damn the tower build too high out in space. LoL that some work. Wish the RL would do that. xD…. NASA so behind on build the future…..

[@locrian7th886]

What if you build a single pillar from one planet to another, and detach it? How would it fall?

[@rogerelzenga4465]

Its incredible how we engineers make up our own problems to solve ;) ..... here is a problem, could you attach the moon to the earth via elevator? :P would it lock into geo stationary orbit? :P

[@Alex-xl4xe]

This guy engineers.

[@matthewwagner47]

Let see a hyper loop stone the earth or to maybe another planet for mining. Is this usable on any server? Dig it out first then put all your equipment under ground.

[@Oliepolie]

took me 3 hours to make a moon space elevator dunno why it took you 60 times as long despite the distance only being 15 times as great lol

[@ShadowlessNevermore]

what did you put at the top of the elevator?>

[@KseNox515]

I wish I could build like that

[@tack3132]

the game needs more realistic physics, hopefully we will get it during the next gen game engine in vrage3. If the materials that one chooses are weak or strong that should determine how big and deep the pylons that are and will be needed to go down to build the platform on top of them, not to mention how thick the rails would need to be to avoid a whipping or very shaky structure effect at the top of the elevator. the games physics should try to mimic real life as possible in all types of conditions. We also need composite materials that can be made by the players by mixing materials together to give certain materials amounts of tensile strengths depending on materials used. certain materials will add to structures tensile strength, and some will take away from that, but each should have their own advantages. It will just make people think of their builds in a more methodic way. we need water and plumbing, heating and cooling, in the game we need wires with selective gauges too to wire the individual electronics, components and chambers up too. If I knew how to program a game engine for use of a better space engineers' game, those are exactly what I would do. I think making people really think about the real-world design of the ships would be beneficial to society and would be the ultimate geek game.

[@BlazingImp77151]

did you know you can put components into blueprints and then weld them with a ship to speed things up? so you don't need the ship to carry all the components (though it will mean more trips as you will be using your jetpack a lot, and you can only carry so much). I know this timelapse is done, but something to keep in mind for the future

[@MegaLokopo]

This would be such a cool game if the developers actually cared enough about making a good game to put in the effort to fix this game. They should sell the game to colossal order. They would fix the game and it would be the best game ever.
