Building the MASSIVE REFINERIES SECTOR! - Vanilla SPACE ENGINEERS Gameplay - Survival - Ep 10

[@Serathim]

Another block you can try playing with is the Heat Vent block, it's a vent that opens up and gets brighter the more power is used by your grid so you can make them burn bright orange when your refinery's are running and lifeless when they are not. The only trick is that they track the over all power being used by your whole base, so you will need to set the minimum threshold over the normal power out put of your base so that they only crank up when your refinery's are firing at full power.

[@tylerhallon5007]

You being happy makes me happy. Thank you for being you.

[@SkyeStorme]

You are so kind :)

[@nathanbrown6539]

My favourite part of your videos is you don't do small timid plans. It's always "MAKE IT HUGE! MAKE IT GRAND!" Space Cathedral incoming... 🙏

[@bobosims1848]

Only issue then is, that it never gets finished because, before it gets as big as it was intended, yet another new project gets started! I mean, have you seen the HUGE Central Core that he started working towards five episodes ago? Oh no, that's right, there *is* no huge Central Core (yet). Hehehehehe... jk, Skye!

[@fusseltyger]

Go big or go home... 😂

[@arnarerlingsson6440]

Definitely should put more of the electric smoke in the background, so there are more sparks in the background, this looks flipping amazing! great job Skye!

[@aquatus1]

Feels like a good time to make a tiny welder ship! Like, one that doesn't even have a cockpit, just a standing platform.

[@samueljwilliamsmusic]

The sparks and the lights really make it pop. Nice work!

[@SkyeStorme]

Thank you! :)

[@barongerhardt]

Parts of the base should be left as the scaffolding skeleton. There is always something under expansion or remodeling. Just some random storage containers and refining equipment is missing or unfinished.

[@cullyn]

When you first started this series i was on the fence if i was going to enjoy it. Made it to episode 10 and I cant wait to see episode 11! Thank you Skye.

[@SkyeStorme]

Glad you enjoy it! :)

[@Teck_1015]

And to think you haven't even made it to the "Space" in "Space Engineers" yet :) You're going to have a lot of fun with this once you get to that interplanetary logistics phase. Hope to see you try your hand at making an "Asteroid Eater" eventually :)

[@udragg]

Quick building tip: if you press "B" you can cycle between different building modes. One of them allows you to snap to the base even when looking at the ground instead of having to try and reach the 5 exposed pixels of the block face you want to place it on. Can save a lot of hassle with these types of builds.

[@glenwestwood3683]

What you need to do what some veteran space engineers players do is put a camera block on the back of your minner to use as a reverse camera so you don't damage your ship

[@Tolastun]

a suggestion is to setup a gravel dumping station since after a certain point, it becomes useless. You setup a sorter to a connector far away from your base and then set the connector to just throw out

[@HeruKane]

This is really cool. I like the height difference and such, and I think the catwalk connections will make it look all the better. So random idea. I wonder where the command tunnel comes out in comparison to this room, cause I could see a connection there.

[@copperhead3703]

This is making me want to get back into playing space engineers I forgot how fun it is.

[@takumi2023]

Dont forget the tedium. Skye is skipping them for the pleasure of our viewing. But you have to mine a hell of a lot of materials to build these things.

[@Barnaby0014]

@@takumi2023currently doing this mining is going incredibly slow. I also have “ aww scrap” which makes anything you grind give scrap of that component so it needs to be refined.

[@Olebusken1]

Perhaps more lights on the ship in all directions will help. Love the series❤

[@takumi2023]

Why is it always over so soon just as i was enjoying it 😂

[@caxe1010]

Skye, you are certifiably mental, but that is why I keep coming back for more, love your builds

[@butch5451]

i don't usually enjoy games like this, but i love your commentary. it's makes it fun and i love your humour. The only thing is i can't get enough of the game. i have to save up the video's because watching one. just isn't enough.

[@jokkadread]

usefull tips #3 -Lights in the games is 70% what makes the the space good lookin -You can attach subgrid blueprints with merge blocks as long they are the same block size -Use large projector to large grid blueprints and small grid projector for the small ones

[@austinharris2961]

I'm loving these space engineer videos

[@dr_knots]

Having a great time watching the series.

[@faab007nl]

I really enjoy this series. Can we please have longer episodes?

[@SkyeStorme]

Sure .. I'll start releasing only 2 or 3 videos a week instead of everyday .. that work?

[@HvV8446]

@@SkyeStorme this is fine, but (if it doesn’t gobble up too much time editing) a timelapse now and then would be nice. E.g. when you are drilling the room out. That’ll make the video longer.

[@faab007nl]

Yea if you could get them like 5 min longer with some nice timelapses what would be amazing. Maybe like a building montage. Love the vids.

[@Barnaby0014]

@@SkyeStorme I say keep the videos the same length if thats the case. I like the constant updates. even if its all from one large session its nice to keep up to date with the base. I am really loving this series.

[@Barnaby0014]

You are so much more creative and artistic in your builds. i have so many things bookmarked for making stuff in space engineers for inspiration. Here is a thing that might be useful to you. a list of RGB values for real world lights for you to apply to your lights in the base. I recommend naming your lights and grouping them before things get too complex and it becomes a major daunting task. (a shameless copy from a subreddit post 10 years ago) draeath on space engineers subreddit "I found a listing of light energies for various types of lights, intended for setting up lighting in CG scenes. I converted the data over to RGB, and I've found the results to be handy for configuring realistic-looking lights in the DX11 renderer. I recommend you set the intensity of lights (spot and interior) to 1.0, and falloff to 2.0 (interior, maybe spot) - then playing with the radius and adjusting intensity as desired. I recommend you leave falloff at 2.0, and only adjust it if the other settings can't get you what you want... as this is quadratic falloff which is what light actually does, and given that DX11 is doing PBR, it seems to work quite well. That said, when the HDR thing starts changing the dynamic range on you, the edge does begin to look sharp. Anyway... here's the list! name, R 0-255, G 0-255, B 0-255 Candle 255, 147, 41 40W Tungsten 255, 197, 143 100W Tungsten 255, 214, 170 Halogen 255, 241, 224 Carbon Arc 255, 250, 244 High Noon Sun 255, 255, 251 Direct Sunlight 255, 255, 255 Overcast Sky 201, 226, 255 Clear Blue Sky 64, 156, 255 Warm Fluorescent 255, 244, 229 Standard Fluorescent 244, 255, 250 Cool White Fluorescent 212, 235, 255 Full Spectrum Fluorescent 255, 244, 242 Grow Light Fluorescent 255, 239, 247 Black Light Fluorescent 167, 0, 255 Mercury Vapor 216, 247, 255 Sodium Vapor 255, 209, 178 Metal Halide 242, 252, 255 High Pressure Sodium 255, 183, 76 "

[@SkyeStorme]

Thank you! :)

[@Barnaby0014]

@@SkyeStorme Sorry i hadnt completely finished the video by the time i commented i saw you already started to sort the lights. you can hide them (show block in terminal) from the control panel to clean up your control panel view. and you can cick the little eyeball button by the search bar at the top to toggle hidden items being visible.

[@Gochen86]

Here's an idea to help the ambience of the refinery room, Skye: Add two or three _orange_ lights and two or three _yellow_ lights as well, and space them out a bit so that it looks like the room is lit up by both molten ore _and_ fire. If you can somehow set the orange and yellow lights to flicker occasionally (or even just a slow repeating pulse from dim to bright and back), that would make it feel even _MORE_ like a proper refinery/forge.

[@icelotus]

a small trick for digging straight holes... You can make your mining ship auto level by setting a gyro to override at about 95%, this gyro will then try to level out the ship constantly. You can still tilt with the other normal gyros however as they will overpower the 95% one :)

[@triskelionchi3747]

Your style of video suits space engineers well, the scale is appreciated. Always a joy to see youve uploaded.

[@SkyeStorme]

Thank you very much! :)

[@Boslow123]

Another great episode! Thanks for the daily uploads

[@cmilkau]

At the risk of mentioning something utterly obvious, if you want better illumination range, reducing falloff is an option. It affects how quickly the light becomes weaker at a distance.

[@TXPhoenix79]

One of the things you should take into account is dedicating an ore to each refinery. Some ores take longer to process than others. So if you have all the refineries processing long running ores, it can prevent say processing iron to make steel for building.

[@Redcell6A]

How sweet it is. Looking really good.

[@kminghella]

👏 Loving the series! I can’t wait to see what comes next!

[@entity-36572-b]

I think it would be neat if you lead that little corridor to nowhere above the observatory to.through the refinary; maybe have the control panel accessible through that in stead of the large opening.

[@nadca2]

redrum room is sick. also you are appreciated

[@fredpryde8555]

that refinery room has worked out great i would of had sparks at back not at entry where workers get burned lol but the storage is awesome so many things you can do well done

[@chadp6307]

Yes, there's a lot that can be done in this game (gotta love sandbox games), but there's also quite a bit you can't do, and have to figure out creative ways around them. Not being able to build on one side of half-blocks is a good example. The upcoming 'Unified Grid System' Keen has been teasing for the "New Game" may help do away with issues like that. More wind turbines (many more) and more batteries to store & augment that power will be needed when you are ready to fire up the Refinery Sector to 100%.

[@scottpierce3351]

Add some grates, red/orange lights, and steam to look like the Carbonite Freezing Chamber located in Cloud City, Bespin.

[@Canoby]

Really enjoying the series, you play this game like the most experience noob ever- you're picking up things nice and quick! Looking forward to seeing you build more of this base out; hoping you make some living quarters with a sick view, maybe in that spot you picked out for an observation deck?

[@idk-n0cha]

Really love the idea and direction it's going! Keep up the great work! : ) ❤

[@divinetouch9308]

Hey sky this is earth, I got a lot of games because of you, including space engineer and all dlcs, I know Im stupid, however you make me feel like its worth it so thank you for that 😊

Skye first minute in the video. "I dont wanne waste those resources" Skye 2 seconds later clearing a Huge hole xD I love it. Ps. your location on the map i am so jealous of it been trying to find something simulair on my map but can't seem to find Large lake with steep mountains.

[@Gemini1187]

Should add that electric smoke above each of the refineries do make it seem as they are the ones giving off the sparks. Just like metals melting in them.

[@dammitspawk]

[@danmatthews1281]

Fantastic, because of your series I have started looking into this game, I can’t wait to see how for you take your builds and lore!!! Appreciate your efforts, your enthusiasm for this is contagious!

[@fangmindalas6040]

One way you can help the tilting with your ship is adding another gyroscope with an override in it and don't mess with any settings after that. Or you can add a programmable block and install a Auto leveling script. Most of them are like a blueprint and projectors, subscribe, copy paste. Click compile, then it should be running.

[@DieyoungDiefast]

Had to chuckle at the number of containers you added. I built a moonbase with the main hangar being off the side of a 150m wide, 250m deep hole and had nowhere near that amount of storage. However it does look impressive.

[@stenid85]

Dear Skye! Maybe it would be better if you attach the lights all around the drill ship, wouldnt be? It is really convenient when you able to see some Good spots in the shaft while you going deeper, if you know what I mean)))

[@TheAlethian]

Does this mean that Skye is an SE youtuber for the forseeable future? you seem a lot happier with this game :)

[@Dam_ian86]

Ive been seeing random clips/shorts in my feed or whatever you call it of this game since you have started playing and its crazy the things you can do. Im glad you are enjoying it, cant wait too see what else you have cooking !

[@takumi2023]

Really? I havent 😂. Would love to see some.

[@Dam_ian86]

@takumi2023 ive seen people launching missles and basically making any si-fi ship you can think of

[@90az11]

fun fact: yield modules work best for gold, platinum and uranium where 100 ore is needed to make 1 ingot for that material and also Space Engineers 2 is on the way from other youtubers that invest their time waaaay more then i do

[@joshg2994]

such a great series!!!

[@MooseAteJack]

BTW, if you add another gyro, set it to 90% power with override on and have a tobble button for on/off it's a hude help for mine excavation like yr doing. Love your work!

[@wofulmickymomo]

Thanks! 😊 Would love to see you design a mobile base on a grand scale.

[@dunneemofozilla5718]

Builds like that you might consider a welder on the end of an arm made of rotors pistons and hinges... piped into the conveyor system it would have smashed out those cargo boxes and refineries faster than a hand held welder and saved you all those back and forth trips to restock on parts

[@renecaminada5867]

Just be careful not break through the walls at the other side of the mountain. Or you have (want) to build another Shaggerbase exit ;) I should go for the power shaft up the mountain for the windturbines or what they have written before, built a hydrogen power generator.

[@pjx95]

Amazing Room! Looking forward to see it Done!!🤘🏽

[@APEMINDS]

Loving this play through ... I'm not sure if this is a thing in game or a mod but I remember seeing something called Nano i think 🤔? Maybe lol but it helps you build big projects like this.

[@felixw8711]

Could you build a plattform that extends when you get close to it as a way into the refinery? Maybe with the hangar doors, or the pistons and in the middle a control terminal on a pillar.

[@roguemajin46290]

u can use half blocks to hide lights and make them inset lights

[@sourabhmajumder]

With this amount of welding, it would be good to use the BuildandRepar Mod.

[@meyatetana2973]

If you hate welding like I do you could try a mod BuildandRepair or Ai Enabled both will help you weld large projects up :) as long as you have the parts. Just if you set them to fly they can grind enemy blocks >>

[@saiyanprince989]

Maybe go a bit closer to orange. Quote I got from google search. "To represent molten metal in RGB, a suitable color would be around (200, 100, 50), which translates to a deep orange with a hint of red, indicating the intense heat and glow of molten metal."

[@thepope56]

Sky if you p u hold shift and click on all the same things you can set them up at the same ti.e and only do it once

[@fusseltyger]

ah man... already over... can't wait to see that 'alien-esque' refinery come to life... seriously... as you turned the lights red I expected that black body peeking round somewhere 😂

[@Kaboom-0623]

ahhh he does read comments .... now he understands why he got that suggestion ... the central core can now house hangars and a ship printer and even an elevator for wheeled vehicles to get out on the very top or out under the front porch .... and yes you could just make the wheeled vehicle miner a chassis and park the ship on it by connector .... add extra storage to the chassis and a quick connect to dump the mined stuff .... make a second ship like the miner but add welders to it .... then it can also use the wheels or fly in the base and weld walls floors and ceilings faster ... even up and down shafts speaking of "like a christmas tree" you know you can change the lights colour too .... yes small interior lights set in classic christmas colours ;) and dont forget to add a bumper sticker to the miner ... Merry Christmas HO Ho HO ... then you get the seasonal greeting in and call the rest by other means ;) and there aint nothing like a tight fitting hole to go deep into .... er um ... now dig towards the front and make the whole side the maker and refinery zone and hook everything up to the conveyors in the tunnel ... for some further insights look for and watch Light Echoes .... Zebra Monkey's is a Splitsie Capac channel that made it way back when ... and Splitsie is one of the better SE showcase people to watch .... keep in mind light echoes didnt have half of what we do today ....

Do you think you'll be using the printer method with a room of spinning arms that slowly retract to the ceiling as a massive item gets built off projectors; such as a ship or a building a framework around it that you can pilot onto a docking port at your desired location to make 'mobile building attachments' that can be easily relocated?
