MORE DRILLING plus REFINERY TOUR! - Vanilla SPACE ENGINEERS Gameplay - Survival - Ep 11

[@time_to_teaparty]

Not gone lie, thats a damn sexy refinery design. The sparks give it so much life.

[@chrisdarwood625]

Timer blocks to do the offset on the smoke and Sparks.

[@TaylorBertie]

Was thinking the exact same thing. Use a sensor to trigger it at either end of the corridor so that it is always reset for when you walk past.

[@m14srv]

Can you loop timer blocks say 4 then attach the sparks at different points ? Or do you just put one for each and run em to fire at different times

[@anteshell]

What exactly those sparkers are? Destroyed thrusters or some modded blocks?

[@LordBufu]

@@anteshell Exhaust Pipe from the Wasteland DLC.

[@anteshell]

@@LordBufu Thanks! Somehow I've never seen anyone using that block/effect before.

[@t_time_for_2]

Dear sky, you're a real artist. Regardless of which game you're playing.

[@cotynietling2567]

The refinery turned out incredible great job

[@mikeoaktree]

Having more than 5k hours of this game and so used to just have everything working efficiently and kinda forgetting the aspect thing.... Your refinery is amazing!!!!!!

[@Fyrex02]

Hey skye. For the sorters in the refinery room in order to not get ice but get all the other ores you could have placed two sorters, the first one with a whitelist of all ores and right after that a sorter with a blacklist of ice. This way you wouldn't need to select all the ores one by one.

[@YoWhatGoesHere]

As others have said, for your sparklers you are going to want to either use timer blocks. Don't worry, they look intimidating but as soon as you understand how they work it's really easy. Set each effect to a different trigger. Then using a separate block and a sensor you can tell the other timer blocks to turn on/off as you leave the base. - no need to have them contribute to performance loss when you can't see them. (You can use that for other things like the lights too if you want.) You might also want to build a little "forklift" (basically just a cargo container with thrusters and a seat) that you can swap a miner, welder, etc. to so you have more than just your personal inventory to do your manual tasks.

[@samferguson2991]

In case you haven't found it yet, there's a block you can add that allows you to write a script that can be used to automate a lot of stuff. But in this case you can use it to program the emitters. I'm not sure exactly what the block is called, but it's super useful Also, you can group and hide blocks in the menu, so you wouldn't have to scroll past every light panel when you're looking for something

[@marcbennett9232]

Im really enjoying this! I would love to see you try satisfactory!

[@CJLloyd]

That control desk area is perfect for turning into a lift. The space under it looks just like the platform should descend to the ground!

[@richardpaterson1033]

Yes! More fantastic Skye Space Engineers! I look forward to every episode

[@MrBuyerman]

You might want to explore the beam blocks if you're looking at the industrial look for the wind turbines.

[@capdyn735]

I love the beam, truss and scaffolding blocks 🤩

[@Layer12Gamer]

Your build is amazing and for some reason i could listen to you for hours

[@lagoman78]

You can replace some of the unfinished blocks with scaffolding or beams to get some cool looks

[@ToastGamingNCrew]

I'm getting huge EDF vibes from the underground, and that has unnecessarily inspired me to get back into SE and underground construction as fast as possible

[@therussianpotato9225]

i love that we get a video each day

[@FARBerserker]

can you hook a sensor up to the sparks so they go off depending on how close you are? also allows them to shut down and maybe save some performance when you are not actually close enough to see them?

[@robthehobbit]

I could be watching this on the Roku TV in the building ( I have been busy myself IRL ) This just get more amazing with each video.

[@Boslow123]

Wow sat down and timed that perfect. Thanks Skye

[@MrDanaris]

i think you would absolutely love the beam block !

[@ParadoxOfAGirl]

Skye was so critical of the beavers, now he is one of the beavers.

[@jjrickards]

For the cross beams, you can use the scaffolding block to add some strength and a different look.

[@hanzzel6086]

I would suggest adding angled beams as well, so it looks like it's properly braced.

[@MarijnRoorda]

At this point, it is simply hilarious how he is still welding everything manually. I wonder how many episodes it will take for him to realize he can weld with a ship... And that he can load a ship full of parts, and it would take mere seconds instead of hours of running back and forth to weld stuff.

[@phoxgames5800]

He figured out mining ship, deff would of thought hed do a welding ship by now

[@confused47]

Skye has covered this already - he is aware of the concept of a welding ship, and has said he will make one in the future, but for now, he's enjoying the more hands-on process.

[@Raziel7888]

scaffolding blocks are a thing since a few updates ago for the wind turbines. just to give it a bit more strength of u do happen to fly into em, an un-welded light armour block will just smoosh and all the connected power will fall 1000m to the ground. You have so many Large cargo, the sorters could be taken out, Use 'Isy's Inventory Management' script to put the ores, ingots, and components where u want by naming them, almost how u gave done anyway. U can also use the script to manage production of components so u never run out of steel plates or anything else. Its really easy and clean to setup

[@ant21]

I wasn't sure about this series as, though I'd not seen this game before, I'm not a fan of games like Satisfactory etc., but I've been completely surprised by how much I'm enjoying this build. Can't wait for the next episode!

[@dayvewalshe7672]

Timer blocks will probably be worth looking into for the exhaust sparks. Other than that, I’m just enjoying this series so much. Thanks for really throwing yourself into it squire!

[@jokkadread]

usefull tips #4 -Assemblers will get full if you refine ALOT of stone -Connectors with Sorters can fix a lot of logitics issues (Valve like) -Solar Power farms can use a custom controller with a rotor(azimuth) and a hindge(elavation) and it will allways look at the sun Bonus PS. Wind turbines effective range is 8 blocks up and sides, meaning the closer to the turbine less efficient it becomes

[@confused47]

First time commenting on this series, but really enjoying it! And happy to see YOU enjoying yourself too. You always manage to bring something cool to the games you play, and make them fun for us. Be sure though to make time for yourself & Picture to relax!

[@Ice_Reaper838]

loving the series!

[@cookiegameing179]

You should build a welding hover bike so you could hold more stuff just an idea great video by the way🎉

[@bigguy698]

Look into timer blocks for your exhaust. You can set up the firing order however you like and it'll trigger when you want

[@LordBufu]

Tip of the Episode: While open walls en ceilings are very nice for decoration, the voxel (ground) prevent (sadly) area's from being pressurized.

[@danmatthews1281]

Hi Skye, the wind turbines at the front of the base make me think of it being some kind of set up as though it is to scare of birds in case of bird strikes for take of and landing and almost as landing guides or even radars, aware that they are not but from a lore sense that is what it makes me think of, love the series!

[@victorthomsen7113]

You can use timer blocks to offset the Refinery exhausts

[@fredpryde8555]

i must admit that looks awesome refinery the drill is doing perfect such a awesome set up great job

[@mikehillmann7340]

Great episode Skye, loving the base.

[@einsford9894]

All hail Klang. Love the designs skye, makes me want to play. I would love to see how you greeble a reactor room.

[@brettrobinson1694]

You should build some gravel sifters which get you extra ores's and it uses all your gravel in the process

[@banntasn3104]

I use 2 timers blocks to offset lighting and stuff: timer block 1 (1 sec hold, turn on group, Start Timer block 2); timer block2 (7(or whatever you want)sec hold, turn group off, start timer block 1)

[@Exaldear]

The front of base windmills look like landing lights or landing zones. Perfect for an airbase

[@HeilTec]

Tip for drills: When you tear down the drills you can use the ports on the center drill to put the components away. You should be able to pick components from them too when building.

[@russellgilson3536]

Sparks are a great touch

[@bobosims1848]

Hey Skye! Nice work with the refinery, bro. But I noticed that you went through a lot of trouble to exclude ice. I would've gone a different route here. I would've simply whitelisted ores and then, inside the refinery room, add a second filter to blacklist ice, so it wouldn't mess up the refinery machines. And then there are multiple ways to go: either I'd send the ice out on a different path, or I'd build a couple of O2/H2 machines against the back wall to fill a bunch of huge tanks. Using some pipes, these gases could then be distributed all around the base and even fill any tanks one might have on certain ships. And of course, one can also set up a station fed by those tubes, to fill O2 and/or H2 bottles.

[@typ0w]

"In this series, Sky will meticulously develop and build the 'Dirt Excavator' in a different game." 🤣🤣 20:47 Was all i could think of once seeing the full camera angle shot. Edit, Even better with the next episode having it go down too!

[@oldthrasbarg641]

On the ends of the windmill arms you should put red and green lights on to use as navigation markers to aid in flight safety. Would recommend red on the left and green on the right (as observed from outside the base looking towards the hangers) as is the correct way to do navigation lights going into a port.

[@poelmeister]

The refinery room is beautiful. Sparks are a bit too much for me personally, but to each their own. :)

[@AHawksDive]

I also found 0.003 on the pistons to be the sweet spot for drilling like this, good to see we came to the same conclusion! For the refinery room; maybe play around with the textures? some concrete on the floors, battered armour for the refineries, dusty catwalks. just a few ideas :) also, if you want some lines on the turbine supports, look into armour panels. you can colour and texture them differently. might give the look you were looking for.

[@fundamentallyokay]

Damn, that refinery room is gorgeous *-*

[@firiedemon]

fantastic episode, beautiful finish on the refinery room, love how well it functions it works as well!

[@8-7-styx94]

you have two conveyor lines to your refinery area: conveyor in > black list ice - ice will no longer pass it, everything else is fine Conveyor out -> black list nothing -> everything leaves, including any ice in there It's really simple to setup and solves the ice issue entirely without having to use white lists. They are directional too, so they pull and push from one side to the other

[@SkyeStorme]

Yeah and it doesn't do what I want ...

[@k98killer]

Skye, I saw a video on Reddit of someone using the beam blocks to build rails for wheeled vehicles. It would be really cool to have an underground rail system for branch mines. If you can get drills to function on rails, you could potentially make something that mines ahead of itself, sends the resources back to refiners, then projects the next section of rail and welds it up using the resources it just mined and refined. To make a fully automatic underground rail creation system like this will be very challenging and might not even be possible, but I think you might have fun playing with the concept.

[@SjaduK]

The refinery looks like it will explode any second! Can the visual effects be coppled to whether or not the system is actually running?

[@matthewfriedewald8551]

it's looking very groovy brother, well done !!! safe journey

[@Steve-od2di]

now you have a nice circular room are you going to reposition the drills upwards and exit out the top of the mountain then you could have a cool drop down entrance

[@confused47]

Explained in the last few seconds of the video that next episode the central core will be expanded up and down.

[@laggytim]

Came for timberborn stayed for crazy builds

[@zennorjuno9801]

You've inspired me to reinstall and try and build Mount Tantiss (also from Star Wars!) I am only going to aim for 1 mount though and not two 🤣 Brilliant series though Skye, keep them coming!

[@sourabhmajumder]

Wind Turbines close togther will drop their Optimum Output. There should be 9 Block distance between the nearest object and the Wind Turbine. There is a circular field around the wind turbine blades which has to be interference free for it's best performance. This the reason why placing Turbines in different directions doesn't cause issues with it's working.

[@svsc89]

looks awesome, but it helps to seperate one refinery set with a sorter for the slow running ores like gold, uran. That stuff will block up and nothing else is produced in that time. so your assemblers may stop.

[@SkyeStorme]

Or add more refineries :)

[@svsc89]

@SkyeStorme more helps more 😅

[@travistharp4215]

I’ve found out that your rotor always needs to be faster that the pistons. Especially your setup cause the farther out you go the longer it will take for the drills to make a 360

[@Mmm-c1u6u]

it make more sense in my humble opinion to make the base Hydrogen powered but it's your game play how you like

[@hanzzel6086]

I am 100% on board with that!

[@laughingcloud3516]

if you are not adverse to mods i recommend a gravel sifter. Its a mod that adds a device, that turns gravel into decimals worth of ore. Good for disposal of excess gravel but you can't rely on them for resources unless you use one with an insane output.

[@Dracion]

Have you thought of a piston or two and drills to raise the whole drill contraption up, so you can drill up?

[@rdasher7747]

Dear Skye, I think the wind turbines are a great idea, but I'm not sure about putting them around your hanger door, thinking about it functionally, having obstacles when coming in to land seems like a generally bad idea, looks great tho

[@takumi2023]

I was hoping you'd level the ceiling, waiting for that next project xD. Imperfections are killing me.

[@BlindGargoil]

I love your naming system! I'm gonna use it!

[@Canoby]

Love the sparks and smoke you added to the refinery- I was personally thinking a few flames would work too though I can see that getting a bit too busy (let alone murder on system performance). Great content as always

[@fusseltyger]

Finally... there it is... i'm so excited 😂

[@theforgotton582]

If you alt + middle mouse you deposit all materials in your inventory into a possible storage

[@Z0KST3R]

If you want Nice round room use warhead ( buy explosive )24 block grom centar and buum!

[@WaLLy_]

Just because something is temporarily doesnt mean it has to be ugly. 👍

[@Abbittibbi]

That drill is looking good, for good measure it may be nice to add a centered vertical drill mechanism on a piston pushing up; more income and ready for a level up if needed. That nice working mechanism may be very efficient but not pleasing the eyes in term of aesthetic... it could hold it's weight in reduced gravity but not in normal, the drill head are some much heavier than the tubes holding them... with top drill it would make both more efficient and more nice looking(more balanced). Especially if you add ''head'' lights. Thank you!

[@lightspam5897]

Skye, will you make a huge wind turbine statue thing, have the blades rotate and place regular turbines on the blades that spins

[@PlayersAndGamers1337]

I like to put tiny lights on my drills so i can see clearly how they are doing while making my tunnels :) since you've stated that you're pretty new to the game i thought id just mention it since im pretty new aswell and i didnt think it would work but it does!

[@triskelionchi3747]

Looks like you'll need to double the miner again to get all that ore to refine.

[@Surfacesine8]

Just a suggestion but you could put a giant blast door with windows between the refinery room and the access tunnel then depressurize the refinery room just to add a bit of flare and make it seem a bit more significant when you go into the refinery room

[@Surfacesine8]

And you could easily pressurize the room if you need to stay in it for a long time by just turning the air vents off since your on a pressurized planet

[@onemanzu]

It’s reminiscent of the Geonosis Droid Factory. Just need an R2 droid flying around causing trouble. ❤

[@travistharp4215]

You can double up solar panels and put them on a hinge and rotor and add a script to follow the sun

[@cmilkau]

There are some cool I-Beams in the industrial pack I think

[@tejasparkar9119]

14:30 there was ‘ore’ as a separate filter. Don’t need for individual selection I think.

[@SkyeStorme]

Yes you do because 'Ice' is counted as an 'ore' and I don't want ice :)

[@Redcell6A]

Wow! Love what you've done to the place. QQ - are there metal grate floor plates similar to what the catwalks use? Thinking those might be good to put over the pipes in the refinery floor. You know, for safety's sake and all that.

[@anamelikemine]

Put in some docks and some stairs going down the mountain!

[@blindshooter11]

Watching you made me go back and play again, downloaded it on ps5 I wanted to land on ice lake, it took 67 respawns lol

[@jbweld138]

Great job

[@Spike20101000]

You need to drill to the centre of the planet, destabilise it, then send your only son away in a ship to some unknown planet and hope someone raises him.

[@Surfacesine8]

Skye if you turn up the braking torque on the rotor it wont spin after you turn it off anymore

[@skrymerU]

The refinery area looks great. But there should be a hazard tape on the pipes going from and to the refineries because you could bang your head on them. Not the entire pipe, just a small strip, if it's not just leave them black and hope no one flies into them, because. Secondly maby change the rotating lights to red/yellow-ish (think the colour is called amber in English). In real life it would be pointless to have a rotating warning light on top or the refineries, nothing is moving, but it might give some more ambiance of industrial environment. 13:03 And some expanded metal mesh over the pipes in the main corridor, so people don't fall into them. 😊

[@cpt_plantlitgaming]

You have me close to buying this game.

[@kevinschuil4339]

id wait to buy it now, space engineers 2 is announced and it uses the new vrage 3 engine tho the game is still incredibly fun to play :)

[@cpt_plantlitgaming]

​@@kevinschuil4339 nice, maybe it will go on sale then

[@wofulmickymomo]

Thanks 😊

[@travistharp4215]

I’m not sure how you use your refinery’s but I separate them so some can only do stone others only do silicone or magnesium that way you can get things done faster or else it takes forever to get materials.

[@Gene669]

and skye will learn about timer blocks in today's comments. and i will not say anything else. search in youtube this custom huge hangar door that can become smaller or even larger. let's say if you build a large aircraft with refineries and assemblers on board, like a mobile base and simply fly from vein to vein with your current drillship docked on the mobile base. vid title: "Space Engineers Build Test #5 | Air-Tight Hangar Door - Scalable" without the quotes (youtube doesn't let links so copy paste the title)

[@Insanevizir]

The drills have conveyor ports, they dont hold on to components buy can move then. So you can grind one and trow the components in the system tru the other. You can also use then to get the components you need to build something. So you can build one and get the components to build the others from the first one.

[@mathias_jensen1]

I like the refinery it looks super nice and sparks add alot of "life" to the build. Though im not a fan at all of the windmills being permanent i really hope you move them up top or build a nuclear reactor otherwise 😁👍❤️

[@CornDogShaun]

You can type stone (or anything else) into your search bar and it will show you all the things that have stone in them

[@Kelimion]

I'd be curious what's powering SHAGGER base at the moment. Surely it's no longer just 4 dinky wind turbines?

[@airbornejesus3845]

Hey sky, I'm sure you're well aware of this, but the storages on the right-hand side(when entering)of the refinery room aren't placed the same way as the ones on the left.

[@SquirrelArmyStudios2015]

Fantastic engineering Skye. How long will it be until you’ve built a Death Star?

[@nurmr]

I wish you'd put lights next to the drills. That way they would illuminate what you're drilling. I find it too dark to see what's going on unless the drills are actually touching the walls.

[@unmatos13]

Did I hear about an indoor (in-Mountain) wind farm? how does that work?

[@Guy1That69]

I don’t know if anyone noticed but the storage in the refinery room, on the left is standing up and on the right is laying down. I spotted it and now I can’t not see it 4:45 you’ll see

[@DanBoy42]

Hasta la vista, baby.
