So sad to see this series end, it was so informative and yet entertaining to watch. Thanks a lot for your work ❤❤

[@Beeblebum]

There will be more guides coming, but they will be more directed to a certain aspect of the game, rather than a playthrough style. I also am thinking about other videos, but maybe for the future. 👍

[@maliquedouglas7072]

This series has save me so much headache thanks for keeping it alive

[@raulgiraud6941]

Thanks! I just followed this guide and got in to Space my first time!

[@KiyoCabessa]

The best guide for newbies on all of KZbin. Thank you very much for sharing it with us. Like and subscribed, waiting for new videos that teach us more tricks in this huge universe ;)

[@haydenminchin8848]

You released the previous episode just as i got started in this game has been a godsend thanks for the help dude👍

[@franklinshooter3050]

I, too, followed this guide. My only question is... Is it weird that I got goosebumps when I hit zero Gs? Thanks for letting us tag along. You've helped out immensely. 🍻

[@Beeblebum]

I think the first time you leave a planet in SE is special. You really feel a sense of accomplishment. 😊

[@anti-rioter-15]

What an adventure! Thanks beebs! Great guide series. I never would have figured all of this out. 😂

[@Beeblebum]

Happy to help! Good luck with the next steps! 👍😊

[@anti-rioter-15]

@@Beeblebum bro. I’ve slept like 8 hours in 2 days. I’ve been going hard. I am making a giant frigate storage/refiner ship. And I will be able to dock my mining ship to it. This game. I can’t even. I turned enemies off, and increased my carry weight (on person) to help with ship building. But stayed vanilla. Other than purchasing the industrial dlc pack. Lol

[@Guccifer_69]

New player here. I've been following your guides and was thinking you should make one for building a rover, and just as I thought that you mentioned it in the end of the video! Thank you for your help in getting started in the game.

[@peter2liter]

Built the ship this afternoon, seems to be alright so far, have yet to take it into space though.

[@donaldb.9995]

New sub because of this video. Ship did for me what it was supposed to with getting to space, sometimes running from drones and checking a bunch of asteroids for something yet only finding Earth's ore deposits. Disappointed. I then tried landing on the moon for a hydrogen refueling station and couldn't get off the surface for some reason. Crashed the ship and reloaded to before I landed.

[@Beeblebum]

Yeah, some ores are pretty rare to find. Platinum should be found easier on the moon, uranium in the asteroids. But yeah, most ores are available on the Earth planet. Concerning not being able to take off.. were you locked with your landing gear to the moon?

[@donaldb.9995]

@@Beeblebum : No sir. I was loaded with platinum and still had the atmospheric thrusters on the ship which added a lot of weight. I redesigned the ship without those thrusters and added another container on each of of the original with more hydrogen thrusters and now that ship is like a speed demon with insane acceleration. I also added two more drills to the front with a convertor, sorter and connector on the back to dispose of stone. I can carry 120,000kg of ore now but it handles like a school bus when loaded. I've been binging your series Making Planetfall now, enjoying the entertaining content man.

[@romaxcris]

Can't thank you enough ! Most helpful guide I've watched about this game to get me started 🙂

[@Beeblebum]

Thank you! Great to hear that! 😊

[@deanzap3658]

This was awesome ... now i want more. this game is huge.Base would be nice aswell. or how to use more automation. that will be cool. i only started playing this as im a fan of your NMS Vids. and trust in your judgment of games

[@justinmercer8141]

Thank you. Helped me a bunch.

[@oPiggySue]

Excellent series to get beginners up and running and give them the confidence and awareness to be successful and able to enjoy the game! Thank you again!

[@Balhazarr]

wow, glad i amde here, love to see the whole series!

[@rameymj]

Nice episode.

[@midniteoyl8913]

You are going to make me play this... stop it. 🤣

[@Beeblebum]

Lol... Do it! 😂

[@dupasmokagaming700]

All I can say mate - you won't regret. Trust me :) Great vid btw @Beeblebum!

[@perhapsavailable]

Temu Pukki ftw.

[@SirVisigoth]

Yet another superb episode , i cant wait to test this out, but i still have a way to go before i can attempt this. In Episode 3 you mention that moving to a lake is a good idea, would youy build base on the ice or on land nearby? Sad thihs is the last tutorial but will look forward to any others that you will do in the future, Thanks again

[@Beeblebum]

On my playthroughs, I build on the Ice, but at the shore works fine as well.. It is just easy to drill the ice and deliver it straight to the o2/h2 generators. I have been doing quite a few streams, and started a scenario a few weeks ago on stream. I also made a guide on how to build a Self Guiding missile... but I need to remake it, Got a better design.😊

[@rixyz7013]

I subbed 😃

[@akulaunknown3384]

I couldn't get my Hydrogen thruster to go really small in the front like you did, what gives?

[@frozack8mgs62]

Wait you forgot the tutorial when you return into the atmosphere you have chewie take it out of hyperdrive at the last second so you can sneak back into you base on the planet without being caught by the imperial army

[@mikeuk666]

Algorithm 👍

[@Gerfervonbob]

I have a question; in an earlier episode you said building a base next to a lake is ideal. Are there pump blocks? How do you access the water or turn it into ice? Thanks for the series!

[@Beeblebum]

All Water in Space Engineers is in Frozen form.. you all need to drill it. There are some mods that make IceLakes in water and give you pumps to get water instead. 😊

[@Gerfervonbob]

@@Beeblebum Ah okay, thanks. If you're looking for suggestions on guide content, I personally would be really interested in non-script automation stuff. All the Space Engineers guide videos on the subject are very stale. Either way, thanks again!

[@SubaruWRC1996]

I want to ask if there was a way to send pictures of pretty cool base ideas I've seen and see if you can do a video building them? I think they'd make a pretty cool base and would love to do them but I don't know how I'd implement it into the game. I know of the different glitches which if they had to be used to make them that wouldn't bother me but it's trying to find a way to do them. I do think some would be easier than others but I think they'd be do able.

[@Beeblebum]

Hey, there should be a link in the video's description to the Discord - we have some channels in there dedicated to Space Engineers. 😊

[@SubaruWRC1996]

@Beeblebum OK I'll post them there. I did try one from a picture but didn't go well 🤣

[@barack._.obaconator8946]

The hydrogen thrusters wont work for me i have stockpile off and they still dont work

[@Skullcrazegaming]

I’m on ps5 and when I set my thrusters in a group and go to toolbar config and try to set the group to toggle I don’t get any options can anyone help ( I can toggle them from control panel but it’s so inconvenient )

[@vantage3154]

Why I have run out of oxygen in the space?

[@1000-THR]

i REFUSE to use hydrogen thrusters, im gonna jetpack to space and look for platinum

[@benjienabnit4234]

Anybody else's hydrogen thrusters not working?

[@benjienabnit4234]

Went back in creative mode and made the same ship and they worked. Musta been a bug!

[@andressalazar4716]

my problem was that i had the hydrogen tank in "stockpile ON" so the hydrogen thrusters didnt work properly, they were on but did not recieve any fuel. Disable the stockpiling option will do.
