[@Kaboom-0623]

you could have put 4 drills pointing up on 2 opposite arms and as the drill rotates it also carves the ceiling out as it expands ... dig a 10m hole UNDER the rotor ... yes hook the conveyor up down there to the rotor and then a piston on top IF you do 4 arms with one drill each pointing out and 3 pointing up attached to one side going towards the center of the rig then you not only drill the sides but drill up ... best drill speed is 0.1 ... on pistons and 1 to 1.5 rotation on the rotor ... further a bit of of screen upkeep ... move you conveyor lines into the floor hook up the connectors in the maintenance bay pop a door in the maintenance bay back wall and DIG out space for as many large containers as will fit along your tunnel use conveyor Sorters to split the stone into one side and the parts made into the other ... you may only need 1 or 2 large bins for parts so if you have 10 bins 8 for stone 2 for bits n pieces although you are NOT playing with the encounters mod most seasoned players do ... consider base defense as well .. the wind turbines out front look like people choppers so keep em ... you could even add a bathroom into the storage bin room for engineer convenience

[@mr-steve-kuling]

Press T to turn off autorotate blocks. You complained about cargo container was placed wrong and that was probably caused by autorotation. You see a icon for it on the bottom of your screen

[@zeek5589]

perfect timing. I get bored, open KZbin and there's a brand new Skye video. Today's a good day.

[@IraRomfh]

Skye I have to say you really must respect a person that only makes the videos they want to make. The joy in you voice while you are recording these is precious. I have exactly 0 desire to play this game but I can’t wait until your next episode.

Niice! A treat when i come home tonight 🎉 Hang out with Sky before sleep 😊

Grats on first ;)

[@jlivewell]

I’m sorry that I have to register this complaint…here goes……. These videos are too short and posted only daily…. I want to watch hours and hours of these all the time…. Your creativity is so fun and great. Thx.. 😊

[@barongerhardt]

A twenty four hour vod posted twice a day would be perfect.

[@mutho7024]

@@barongerhardt perfect, I watch watch most stuff with 2x speed already, 48h a day would fit nicely

[@tylerhallon5007]

Since you asked, the best way to turn it off would be: first the pistons, then the rotor, and then the drills after the momentum has stopped. That way, if the momentum swings the drills against some material, the drills will still go through it because they're last to turn off.. Turning on should be: drills first, then rotor, then pistons.

[@CornDogShaun]

Braking torque on the rotor, but yes on your order

[@lyranidis]

I love how much fun he has to do that kind of stuff :D

[@marcgarrett4401]

Suggestion: make use of an event controller to turn off the drill system when your containers are near full. They can turn them on again once the stone is processed.

[@xLONER18x]

Being able to build with large and small grids at the same time is the greatest thing ever! If I can have a Light, a railed platform, and a Window on the same block I'll pre-order and pay 70 bucks and buy every DLC! (I've already done this with Space Engineers) Keen deserves it!

[@johnnimalm6844]

In the button of the toolbar there are a symbol of a block with 2 arrows and a (T) under it 😊 push T so the symbol is not highlighted anymore, then when you build the blocks don’t keep turning 🎉🎉

[@-yttrium-1187]

If you really want to consume all the stone you're producing you could use speed modules on a refinery dedicated to stone.

[@ancapftw9113]

About to post this. Just use a sorter to feed all of the stone to one bank of refineries and a different sorter to send the others to one with efficiency modules.

[@MrFlubber]

But why not have yield on stone

[@FanfictionEnjoyer]

Have you noticed that your power system on the front of the base looks like drills? So your base looks like some kind of baby driller flying in like baby crocodiles safely nestled in their mother's mouth. It's almost adorable in a mechanical way.

[@MatheusGanzo1]

Noice. You can build the storage in the floor (under or as it).

[@mutho7024]

thank you sky. I had a ruff day and your Timberborn and Space Engineer videos are the little light I missed in these stressfull times

[@travistharp4215]

You should always turn on the drills first when it’s that compact so it can save it self it won’t get hung up and snap off

[@Canoby]

I tend to build in odd numbers to avoid the issue you had w having to have an off set rotor etc.

[@DragonLoon]

you should add a drill on the top and bottom of each drill stack so that you are drilling at the same level as the floor and roof of what you already drilled. It looks like you have more than enough space for them

[@TheAlethian]

For the blocks being flipped automatically hit t, it'll make the blocks keep the same orientation as your placing

[@Ben-wi4ww]

Dear sky, my suggestions are as follows, dump the gravel out of your storage hook your drill ship up inside the hanger to the connectors that you already have placed and create a welding ship, even though some will argue it’s faster to do it by hand, I find once you have all the blocks place that you want to build you can load your welding ship with all the components and sit there and weld without having to fly back-and-forth to pick up components when they’re loaded into your ship, so it kind of evens out. But I find it’s a good excuse to build another ship.😅

[@wofulmickymomo]

Thanks again! Getting in to space engineers just in time for the sequel to be announced! 😅 16:41 Also theres a setting to keep block orientation from auto flipping around.

[@kholdanstaalstorm6881]

Add in some large grid welders and a projector, then this would only need to have room in storage and refineries.

[@budwilliams7908]

In your save games options when you load the game, you can turn on "in-game scripts" and with that i qould suggest downloading "Izy's Inventory manager" you will thank me lol 5:53 QoL tip for building rigs...if you build the drill that connects to the conveyor system first you can use the conveyor ports on the drill to pull materials from instead of having to run to a nearby cargo container 15:05 if you increase the braking torque of the rotor your rotor will stop instead of freewheeling

[@fredpryde8555]

that circle drill is awesome great job i having same problem so much stone and i need to keep increasing storage for ores ingots components

[@trippyrabbit9972]

I like making ship carts so the ship can land onto the cart near the entrance, then the cart takes it into a parking/repair bay. solves the low ceiling problem

[@lindsaybruce1396]

Regarding rotational speed, for a rig this size I would run the rotor very slowly so as the pistons extend the drills don't get overloaded and start banging into the walls. For your setup I'd probably run the rotor at 0.2 rpm and drop to 0.1 rpm as the pistons get closer to 10m. Worth running the drills until they no longer collect stone as that will give you the smoothest tunnel walls which not only looks nice, but will minimise impact on your save file (voxel data is notoriously large, so the cleaner the surface the better in terms of save data). Also worth looking at the Drill and Fill mod which can cut perfect tunnels and rooms with flat surfaces.

[@guingstongg1287]

Drigg Rills for days

[@travistharp4215]

I’d be patient with the first run and let it do its thing and see it run

[@rodentnolastname6612]

I highly recommend shutting down pistons, rotor THEN drills.reverse for startup

[@sawyeriii]

Maybe add some upwards facing drills on each arm back to the center to smooth out and raise the roof when you put in the 3rd piston on each arm?

[@pcplayermalc]

Have a look at running scripts. Izzys Inventry Management is a good one, and so is his Solar Alignment

[@ericwemmer402]

I find myself getting excited with 33MN set on the rotor and so many pistons and drills to crash into the cave walls. Getting the .

[@pcplayermalc]

Try using "O" to align the ship to the horizon, and cursor left and right to rotate the ship. It will give you more linear movement. I could be wrong about O, I might be thinking about Empyrion

[@Gochen86]

Always activate the drills _first when turning on_ but always _last when turning off_ the rig. You don't want the rotor to still be spinning with the drills inactive and risk breaking them! As for storage... Why not try making the large storages part of the floor? It'll save on a ton of resources and open up a ton of floor space to add more detailing work. As for the refineries, I'd highly recommend realigning them so they _DON'T_ block half of the hangar door! That said, it's a shame you can't do a partial rotation, and have a block on the diagonal facing. If you could, you'd be able to make an eight-faceted drill rig.

[@laggytim]

I'm not sure if I have the time or energy to play SE but enjoying watching this series

[@samtrenchard1246]

I love this series from you, keep up the good work.

[@nexious4568]

If you press T it should make it so the blocks you're placing don't flip ever time you change your angle

[@danmatthews1281]

This is s a treat, was expecting a few days before next vid! appreciate your hard work!

[@darkinterceptoralex2419]

Pretty good idea with different rooms. Why you dont put the cargo an its face. so you can stack ist onto each other! you just have to build a tiny room but a high one.

[@plageran]

this is the video that sucked me in Thank You for the playlist

[@romanmiclo6724]

Gravel throw a way. Try use time block for multiple actions at once

[@chadp6307]

Stone is so plentiful, you're slightly wasting yield modules on it. Perhaps do 3 speed and 1 power saving module per refinery, as the speed boost will put a strain on your power grid. Yield modules give you the best 'bang-for-the-buck' with the more rare ores (gold, platinum, uranium), and you can set a dedicated high-yield refinery to refine them by using sorters.

[@CraigLYoung]

Thanks for sharing 👍

[@k98killer]

I think that drills should be turned on first and turned off last; pistons should be turned on last and turned off first. Otherwise, it might be possible that the drill heads collide with the cave wall while they are off.

[@puddlejumper6999]

hey skye, when you are having trouble building bigger parts and cant see enough of the BP then you can CTRL+scroll to adjust the projection and set point farther, then you can stand back further and see the whole of the BP

[@jbweld138]

Great job.

[@jamesduncan5814]

Don't forget each one of your cargo containers you accessing as well. But you can install issys inventory mod it will handle a lot

You may know already but if you hold ctrl and mmb a storage instead of just mmb, it'll pull enough to make 10 of what youve got in the planner (or as you can hold) and doesn't remove the item from the planner, useful when making lots of conveyors

😂 I have no idea how you use the planner thing but it's a skill that needs to be learned

[@TheMum1]

Dear Skye rotation speed I run at .5 piston at .5. And if you are doing stone do 2 speed and 2 yield on the refinery. It chew faster an slightly less ingot. Also run 4 refinery’s the same way.

[@carpemkarzi]

Thank god you don’t plan any large, multi level bases, keep on keeping it simple

@@SkyeStorme another great episode. i love the all the drilling. if you dig too far down, can you get below the planet's crust?

[@Belnivek]

Remember since you have 2 pistons extending together that is twice the speed selected.

[@SkyeStorme]

I pointed that out in the last video :)

[@icelotus]

if your not playing with mods... When refining stone you will get literal tons of gravel as well as the ore, 10's of thousands of bags of it, which is only needed for reactors last i checked, in tiny amounts... You might consider dumping them out an airlock (or land based equivalent) for the game to delete for you, it tends to just eat up cargo space otherwise :)

[@slickittenounounoun]

I think you do want speed modules for stone in these quantities

[@mathias_jensen1]

😁👍 i vaguely remember there should be a storage script that you can download and watch a tutorial on how it works It allows for a auto restock of selected components in a selected storage. Example: you define in the (premade) script that you want a 1000 motors in storage unit x always and then i will always try to keep a 1000 motors in storage

[@MyMaverick3]

Get rid of the gravel. It'll free up a bunch of space.

If you use "t" the blok placement should be at last ones.

loving the base design, really getting a proper sci fyi seel to it!, also tried playing this game and learned i suck! Failed the tutorial as i couldnt finish most of it due to exploding the ships, one i caught the mining ships battery on the hanger, it exploded and rocketed my cockpit with me inside miles away! usually had to do the tutorials before i pressed the buttons or due to breaks in the game i couldnt start it XD had a right laugh at it as im not use to failing at games it was a nice change! then with 90% of tutorials failed decided to start planetfall with knowledge of watching sky, died 4 times in the first 30 mins due to pressing z instead of x so instead of slowing down and landing, i turned off dampeners, sped up and went slat XD, buit a base only to learn i had a spawn with no ores within 75k meters XD, next world went alright till i built my first miner and it refused to unload or recharge XD tried to use the projector to use one from the workshop, the projector complained about a grid issue? 10/10 would recommend!

[@heinshaaine8153]

poor picture he always only remembers doing the shaft and forgets the head

[@catleya8649]

I'm the person that don't play the game and only enjoy watching it you play. So I don't have an idea 😂 sooo dumb question here. Can you make a storage wall so it won't fill you space?? Make those container tucked in the wall? Or the floor??

[@caribu0824]

throw out the gravel you'll only need a small amount for reactors at a later date. dont need it now at all and its taking up to 14k plus in your storage

[@ChristianKlasen-mq4rs]

"big" 😂 that's what he think. XD

[@lagoman78]

Look into mods that do something with gravel. otherwise dump most of it, you only need 20k for your entire play thru and it will clog up your storage

[@tylerhendrix14]

Is there a way for the tunnels to have something that guides the ships through them? It could keep them level and at a consistent speed.

[@Serathim]

@@SkyeStorme You want to build a conveyor tube leading outside of your base, then put a conveyor sorter on it white listing gravel then put a ejector port on it, it'll spit out all your gravel and free up a tone of space. The only use for gravel is making reactor components, and your gonna have more than you could ever need with all the stone your mining, so tossing it out is the best thing to do. If you end up needing some for building a reactor then you can just mine some very easily.

[@SkyeStorme]

[@malpherian9459]

Your build has a serious issue you can't build a circular chamber unless you have a central axis point which you can't do with four blocks you have to add another block to the side of that chamber so that you can extend out of Central plain into the center of your circle otherwise no matter what you do it's going to be offset by about 20 degrees you need to rebuild that whole chamber or at the very least add another block to the side of that chamber so that you can get a central axis.

[@kampretman]

Sorry Skye. I've been trying to enjoy this gameplay from the start of the series. But i have to skip forward to when you're stationary every 5 secs because if not i suffer from motion sickness.

[@oddranch1429]

Tip for refineries: use speed modules for processing stone, iron, nickel, silicon, cobolt, and magnesium. Use yield modules for processing gold, silver, platinum, and uranium. Only use efficiency modules if you have problems producing enough power.

[@SkyeStorme]

Why? You may as well just throw half the "stone, iron, nickel, silicon, cobolt, and magnesium" ore out an airlock ...

[@oddranch1429]

@SkyeStorme it has to do with the amount of material you get for the amount of ore going in. The high yield inputs it is just better to process them faster then wait longer for a minimal increase in output. Take it from the pros that have been playing 10 years, they know the most efficient ways to do things.

[@SkyeStorme]

No .. you're just wrong. Speed is irrelevant .. if you want to process faster just build more refineries. Refineries should only care about yield.
