Space Engineers #17: Power Needs

Isy Inventory Manager is sweet look into that it def works

Don't forget that the 12 MW from the battery is not the stored power but the maximum MW it can run machines with. The stored power is just 3 MWh. So for all the stuff you have you should be able to run it for roughly an hour, if everything is running all the time. Maybe factor that in that not all your machines will run 24/7, if you do not plan to have a constant input of ores and constant output of components. Depends on your plans. You should have cobalt, the metal grids in your containers and the assembler need it. Maybe you can grind down stuff like that and disassamble some parts for the cobalt that is in there. It depends on how much you need the gravity right now. Great episode, always good to see people with a passion for SE.

The smart rotor looks great, I've been using a script but it's been inconsistent lately. You're already set up here, but something to try is planting your space station above the North pole. As long as I can rotate my solar tower correctly I can guarantee 24/7 sunlight for free power and only use batteries for burst usage.

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

IMPECCABLE TIMING!!! YOU HAD JUST said how much power you were going to need and your AI girl was kind enough to do the calculations for you to let you know you didn't have enough energy! [HOP HOP HOP!] Some days, you just can't make these things up! [giggle] 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Twztedmatt]

Only a minute or so in but hopefully you realise you can make everything from the basic assembler you would need. Even as a player of many years I recently found out about a yt chan splitsie. I recommend a watch of his space engineers "learning to survive" series because he taught me a few things I didnt even know and also somethings I actually forgot! Really in depth review of the system and yeah you can build on from his descriptions to be even better. But keep up the videos I enjoy them 👍

[@thedyingmeme6]

Splitsie!!!

[@02091992able]

You can get away with using your mag boots in substitute for gravity on a space station currently.

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

TECHINCALLY... IN THE VACUUM OF SPACE... Your solar panels will be getting A WHOLE LOT MORE SUNLIGHT. Therefore... Its highly possible that the solar power your panels are getting in space is MUCH MORE than you will get from them on the planet BECAUSE OF the amount of light filtering and absorption by the atmosphere and clouds. Just thought I should put that out there as one who has spent a lot of their lives doing renewable energy research.

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

Why not just use the same ship you already have and add the mining gear to it? Seems like a whole lot less work.

[@kylenelson8746]

Hey keep up the good work not many KZbin's are like you and I know it's hard doing it for a living

[@lordzeus3260]

Rich Isy,s Inventory Manager is a lot less demanding on the game a easier to set up (i think anyway) and it auto crafts.

[@DragonNationGaming]

It didn't in the past but if it has an auto crafting setting I might give it a try.

[@lordzeus3260]

@@DragonNationGaming I use it on my production crawler works good

[@lordzeus3260]

Love the inchworm btw gave you a shout out on my tunneler steam page

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

I HAVE TO ASK NOW... EXACTLY WHY one even NEEDS gravity? Is this because the game will penalize your health if you go in zero G for a long period of time? I only ask because, since it is a game, and the game is already grossly violating a whole ton of real world rules, is it employing human health rules based on gravity at this point?

[@michaelreagan7149]

You should do a course on your ship and building designs. You make such great designs.

[@III_Freshy_III]

I love your videos!!!!

There's plenty of uranium in asteroids, just have to look for it Love the builds mate

[@cheesehat6420]

Nah I think they started makeing it more rare

[@Chucknades355]

There is Uranium on asteroidsn just got to find it.

[@ailithic5448]

Every ore deposit/asteroid has 3 ores, valuable ores are usually clustered together and way deeper than common metals. Uran is also the same color as silicon.

[@jamestor6700]

that explains why I keep finding silver and gold together

[@DragonNationGaming]

Not in my world apparently. Every asteroid I have found has only one resource other than iron or ice. I found uranium but it took a while and it was a small amount.

[@argotungsten4336]

All right ! U r finally using more mods rich 😉 Nice job. Solar Panels look great 😁

[@coastalgaming1594]

I'm a noob to the game, I just started a play through a few weeks ago and I found Uranium on an asteroid. It was, well it seemed to me to be pretty far from earth but I haven't made it to the alien planet yet so it may not it may not have been that far.

[@CaptainDonut0]

And Mayday is still flashing i wonder what it will be. When you decide to go check it out.

[@DavisXero]

There are asteroids with uranium, it’s just really hard to find. I eventually got an ore detector mod to up the range of my ore detectors because I felt the range on the normal ones are too small in scan range

[@zrebbesh]

Longer range ore detectors cause horrible lag, though.

[@DavisXero]

Zrebbesh most mods and scripts are going to cause some kind of lag. I haven’t had any problems with any of the mods I run though.

[@Locomotor1979]

the azimut detector slows down the game

[@CosmicEpiphany]

I have no idea what I am watching...looks cool though.

All you did in this episode was a small platform and a basic base(off-camera). The rest of the time you just talk nonsense. I REALLY love your content but it gets very stretched out and boring. I hate leaving bad comments but I want you to inprove and get more followers hopefully. Sincerely Rickus

[@imarchello]

Agreed. Too much talking, not enough action.

[@cheesehat6420]

I know I'm late but I wish you would make a spaceship that's stupidly fast and name it the draconic

[@ddssrr1614]

Have you tested all these mods ? most of em are outdated & have complaints on the page stating they don't work or bugged.

Presurized cabens are the best a highly sujest you get one

do you know when pressing and holding control and shift u can place a grid (x by y) in less time? ;) when only holding control you can place grid (1 by x).... i was wondering in all of your previous episodes why u place large grids block by block not using this feature....

Hey just a suggestion but turn up your mic. Sometimes the game sounds drown out your voice

[@Locomotor1979]

funny thing the sun rotates around you not a planet

[@addylenwest8536]

Rob Beijerinck isn’t the planet supposed to rotate around the sun, and so is the player. It just looks like it’s rotating around you but it’s not

[@Locomotor1979]

@@addylenwest8536 in real life it does but in the SE unviverse the sun revolves around you i know its odd but blame it on SE creators

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

Saves on total mass resources. If you have the planets all revolving around the sun, not only do you need a whole lot more space to calculate, but then you get into KSP level geophysics and astrophysics because then everything has to gravometrically work for and against each other AND it is no longer a tiny, neat little box of space, its all spread out and one moment you are close to another location, but later on you will be a long way from it. This makes the game much smaller and more compact. Saves GIGATONS on computer resources! Unrealistic? Yeah... But its a game and the planet is hardly the size of a grapefruit anyhow, so what does one expect? I have plans for a game on the most farthest, insanest opposite end of this, but I'm really never likely to make it ever happen...
