Space Engineers - Blast Protection Base

This time I mess around with better ways to protect your station with either blast shutters or lowering the whole base into a protective chamber.

Space Engineer is like a mixture between Minecraft and Kerbal Space Program.
The main purpose of the game seems to be building a space fleet and fight/ally with the other factions. You build your ships piece by piece and the only know limit for the size of your ship is what you computer can handle.

"The Geth Do not use windows Structural weakness" I follow that reasoning on everything.

[@nilix6993]

Smooth Trooper best defense is a good offense no windows = more area to use as a high speed ram lol

[@SirStrashFun]

Smooth Trooper Yeah, but they can't see spacecrafts like Normandy heading to their ship to destroy it))))

[@nou8257]

SirStrashFun They would have hull cams if they where a bit smarter.

[@SirStrashFun]

Smooth Trooper definitely. But the game shows, that they didn't)))

[@Achedb0b1]

Virtual windows. Probably would cost less and give more protection too. If only the game had monitors that can stream cameras.

[@VarienIsBusiness808]

the modular base is like the halo wars drop ships, the ones where they drop the base modules

[@XMysticHerox]

The best way is to have a tiny blast door thats basically impossible to spot.

[@seekandestroy6913]

MysticHero yes

[@XkriskrossX]

MysticHero Yup. Good concealment on top of a heavily fortified position is the best you could have.

[@KicksGetChicks82]

You can't do this video without a bunker buster followup.

[@surffroggthegodofblues6848]

[@acog_is_good1650]

@Anson Marcel nice bota

[@S.W.01]

The ship that takes the module away could integrate it into itself, i.e. it completes the ship, you could build a whole ship that is designed to deposit it's various modules to create a base then either be deconstructed itself or be stored until all near by resources are gone and the base needing to be moved. From base to ship with both still functioning fully.

[@123SuperJeck]

Darth Siberius Sounds awesome! Quick colonization/area capture dropship

[@CalebSalstrom]

That's a really neat idea.

[@S.W.01]

Prefab bases are the best kind of bases.

[@Rampant16]

Could be like the firebase in Halo Wars. You have a cheap foundation that modules can be connected too.

[@thediplomat1610]

What that kinda sounds like is the ships in halo wars that deploy the UNSC base when you construct it, looks like this 3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/warehouse/getpubliccontent?contentId=bcb5ec14-8c15-48e5-9dce-46964715fd5e

[@xendordawnburst9969]

Awesome designs! One issue with the elevator design is that if the place is unoccupied, an enemy could find it and use it as a trap. Of course, that's only if they're playing Admiral Thrawn and taking advantage of their findings. Most people would probably just blow it up. One thing you can do is make some sort of minigame, where one person scatters a series of refinery stations, and everyone else has to compete to find them. This would involve complete planetary combat. Once a refinery is captured and taken to base, the player would activate a beacon, indicating its been captured. However, until the refinery reaches base, enemy players can steal or destroy the refinery as they please. Of course this means everyone would have a hangar and spawn point. Maybe I'm overdoing it, but that would be pretty cool.

[@mystic-malevolence]

"Thick blast door walls" And yet, the ceiling is only one blast door thick.

[@ZackRToler]

Modular bases would be great

[@yuyaplays9311]

he should do a community build off for someone to build the ship that transports the base from one area to another.

[@nilix6993]

Evan Au one such super station I could see someone eventually build: the star forge of Knights of the Old Republic, very large station capable of insane production allowing the construction of bases and modules rapidly to be taken to any planet

[@SemEilers]

[@isaacsierhuis4927]

this is not the comment i'm looking for

[@MysteriousStranger50]

You know what I want added? The ability to connect multiple pistons or rotors to an object. For strength and stability. They'd need a system that mirrors a rotor to the original "parent" rotor, or copies the piston to the parent piston etc.

[@laviwastaken9845]

No, that would destroy the system of "broken moving parts" that works right now!

[@Nethan2000]

You can already do that.using merge blocks.

[@dankbeluga9636]

Nethan2000 You used to be able to, but I've heard that it doesn't work anymore. Haven't tried it recently though so I might be wrong.

[@Nethan2000]

The merge blocks malfunctioned, but I think it started working again after one of the latest updates. Even if it didn't, you can still build a door and two rotors separately, move the door in place and manually attach the rotor heads to the rotors. It doesn't work with pistons, unfortunately.

[@TheCursedJester]

I rather liked the last idea, actually. Having everything made of or covered by blast doors isn't cheap, quick, or easy to do in a survival scenario, though having a module in the ground which can be made mobile is a pretty good idea. The decoy would need trial and error to see if it was effective... maybe instead of a half-built dummy, set up a pre-destroyed 'abandoned' base that already looks looted by typical griefers?

[@blazethegryphon9990]

TheCursedJester Yes, maybe just a few dented blocks and empty containers, that would distract most raiders perfectly.

[@theaveragepro1749]

This sounds really good actually! Im gonna do that right now!

[@cloraxbleach6031]

The Average Pro just know i will find you and i *will* raid your bade

[@YisrelkelVR]

PLEASE CONTINUE YOUR SURVIVAL SERIES!! IT FUELS MY INSPIRATION!!

[@kingchirpa]

The way you talked about attaching a base to a big ship made me think of halo wars when you first build your base a dropship comes by and leaves segments of a base, later to be soldered together

[@Lithorn2]

You guys come up with the craziest things.

[@yaboi1288]

Damn! This is a pretty good idea!

[@tempest9144]

this video helped me. Thx! And so what I did was the design you showed for a movable base with the merge blocks and stuff what I did was I used that for my base but I attached my hole base together with it and I built a special ship that could handle all the weight. It’s helped me prevent my base being destroyed! And I also have a orbital nuke launcher to fire at enemies! Hahaha

[@wooptydo6241]

it would be really cool if you could set up some explosive bolt system to drop the base away very quickly. you could blow up the piston and catch the base with landing gear.

[@nicynodle2]

with that last design, if you add conveyer belts to the bottom of both the elevator platform and the bottom of the box, you could make a completely automatic safe modular base, and if there is any sort of issue, you can just press a button, inspect the module that's having the issue then lower it. And because it's all in separated boxes, they would have to guess which one to break into if they found out that they were hidden bunkers, then work their way in only to find that it's just got empty storage in it then having to work on the next one.

[@obsidianpixels4699]

So what you've built is Marineville from Stingray? Awesome! Cant wait to see that in survival.

[@Vernisaje]

I like how people are making a lot of builds oriented for multiplayer use ... yet we don't have any type of official server (like an mmo) at least with 200 slots ... and in the end all these builds are "a call for a better future" in hope that Keen Software House will make said server. Such a subtle message gj there Aaron. P.S. dedicated servers are bullshit the feel is the same as in minecraft, poor management, helpless admins when faced with a bug. When there is one or 2 official megaservers any game acquires a totally new "flavor".

[@zephyrback5093]

With the raising refinery, design a ship like the cargo ship in Star Wars which could lift the refinery then you could deposit it in the ground, securing it

[@therealgaben5527]

The plane parts mod just makes these defense vids strats better

[@JohnThrasher204]

for the modular base idea a merge block on the top of the piston would work better than going under and detaching it. at worst it adds 1 block of depth to the subterranean box

[@philosiraptorjr4912]

make a base invasion episode where you have a huge base and a giant flagship base has jets, turrets and blast shields while flagship has destructive weapons and fighter jets

[@StoneLegion]

Very Nice Thanks :)

[@Rei-AyanamiLover]

You could make the blast door the base if an enemy comes un and you can closee in the control room

[@usea9903]

First one looks awesome. Btw, I think we need a slanted hangar doors, what do you think? They could add so much more possibilities to the hangar doors designs.

[@HEX332]

As Geth once said "Windows are structural weaknesses" if only we are Geth having sensors everywhere on the ship or base

[@Kyle-cx9te]

damn wish i had this game and a computer that can run it

[@ThiccHarambeGaming]

Ever since I found out LSG would take credit for someone else's build, I can't see him being able to build something on his own anymore. Still enjoy the videos though ha.

[@Elias-mt6ze]

DieHard Jarzyna same

[@idzidz833]

I don't doubt you but can you provide an instance of this happening for example? (Unless you're referring to this video lmao)

[@damjandjordjevic1994]

there was a thing about a year or two ago, where some guy showed a few examples where LSG would just take a blueprint, repaint it, add a few modifications and not credit the author... kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5PIZYhjmrxpbpI I personally watch him because of the way he presents the stuff... I don't care weather he built it or not, so he should have just credited the original owners of blueprints, instead of taking a reputation hit.. oh well.... :P btw, can you see the link I posted, or has youtube removed it? I never can tell :P

[@idzidz833]

Damjan Djordjevic I happened to actually stumble across that video and just forgot my comment lmao. But yeah, so far it doesn't seem like that he's been doing that lately but I wouldn't know rip

[@GuardDog42]

Wow what a thief.

[@welcomezero0079]

You should try and billed a ship that can fit that under ground base and use it as a dedicated cargo holder, that way if you decide to move you don't have to take the time to move everything from one cargo container to a another.

[@WardenWolf]

The issue is that players seeking real destruction use player-made weapons or literally just drop an endless string of warheads from a self-replicating system high above, far out of range of vanilla turrets. Once a malicious person knows where your base is, it's only a matter of time. The only real defense is to go deep underground with a number of offset shafts, ensuring the functional part of the base is not in line with the entrance. This serves to conceal the layout of the base so a person wouldn't know where to launch their attacks. Of course, tunneling attacks are always a risk, but those are hugely more time-consuming than the alternative.

[@zealwarriorgaming5315]

Yeah nice idea but the only problem is if you try to do the same thing on a ship, it would be a lot of bulk on the windows (unless it's a blocky ship) so really hangar doors are still the best option for windows on ships

[@CS_Blitzen]

Make a Thunderbird 2 that can carry the refinery module, that'd be pretty awesome...

[@ComradeDukakis]

That refinery reeks of Starcraft Terran tech, since *it goes into the ground and is movable.

[@ProWhitaker]

thanks Aaron, great video, is there a reason you picked blast blocks over heavy armour? is there a damage value difference or something?

[@ladytokinmonkey2147]

man that last one that lifted up was relly cool reminds me i tryed to build a house like that in mincraft well when i get this game thats what im gona do :) lol

[@pugsy7658]

I might have an idea for the detachable room thing: make a ship that will transport it with just enough fuel to get to a space-station, then in the space-station let the ship drop off the room into a... I don't know... combat ship or whatever and then that combat ship can deliver that to the planetary space station on another planet. uses for this design: -Vip transport -resources transport -utility room transport -"trojan horse" transport -maybe even a base transport PS: I only require you to orally tell everyone that this was my idea (or just pass is off as your own lol idc). just please do this for me I would love to see something that cool!

[@lordtelion]

Yeah very good, I mean no-one will think to look. Its not like anyone has made a video on it or anything, oh wait ...

[@redmafiapanda509]

If you actually think about it it's like star wars if the windows break during a space battle they have blast doors that automatically shut

[@dusvchfiwjsvfhskab6477]

MORE MORE MORE (says the mad scientist)

[@thepigletgamer447]

You could make a ship that doesn't carry the base but it fits into the ship like its part of it.

[@yetanother9127]

Of course, the obvious thing to do would be to simply build your base entirely underground, with only tiny exits for airlocks, missile silos, et cetera.

[@YEAHKINDAGAMES]

This may be 2 years old but this is giving me many brain childs on how to make a cool cargo ship *Or at least a nice way to do cargo hauls between points

[@pilotmax5909]

Interesting idea but maybe it's possible to also use the space where the piston goes?

[@tennoshenaniganizer9234]

How would I design this to be hanger doors for a battleship that rises out of the ground? I'm thinking I have 2 sets of blast shields extended out from either side, with each shield covering 25% of the hanger, if that makes sense. The first 2 will extend, and from the the second two will extend to meet in the middle. Any ideas?

[@rwtheoverlord2896]

you could take this a step further and use this technique in revers to hide and protect you bases defenses so that any intell you enemy has on your base is off and so that your defenses aren't picked off right away

[@talenor849]

for the module box transport, use a galaxy troop transport thats modified from planetside 2

[@alphawolffestudios1169]

Do you have a video/tutorial about underground base building?

[@steampunkkiller]

Don't know if someone already said it but what about this in a ship for a brigh when you get into a fight for more protection for the captain

[@flashbroughton929]

Imagine if there is a guy that uses this technique to hide his place and now you have told everyone his secret.

[@shadowradish5757]

i would love to see you build thunderbird 2 ;)

[@rewrew897]

Perhaps a drill system that automatically drills down far enough and welds the area on the way back up To automatically setting up one of those modules

[@indigocactus3089]

Make the floor of the modular cube base two layers thick (at least on some parts) and it would be absolutely perfect.

[@unr3adab13]

I’m lost on how to even use the panel every time I interact with it it brings me to the control panel

[@flamelash8668]

The big door that he showed first could work for a hangar door i feel

[@thegamerdale6376]

The last two can be double up as an entrance to an hidden underground base.

[@chaoslordofwaffles526]

Could we see a ship based shutter system. Also, a modular ship, meaning that there is a central pipeline system, an taking the module base system, make it go room by room.

[@Toastman64]

looks like somethin' right outta star wars

[@hamdude9875]

you could use this as like a lock-down function.

[@RkEr-hd3xg]

Turn it into a hidden weapons platform so when a ship apracbes and sees no defences they are in for an explosive suprise

[@benharrykirk2824]

That underground base thing reminds me of sc2 supply depots.

[@tropicalvikingcreations]

The ground idea is cool and all but the attacker might get suspicious that the floor is so strong while the roof isn't.... I think having a layer of normal blocks under the rover might be a good idea to fool them... Make it look like a normal building

[@wishyourlife6861]

Im here !

[@royalwm4145]

can you implode a base with gravity generators because would it pull the base apart or maybe a ship by shooting it

[@Volkaer]

How did he get the piston on an angle for the window shutters? Rotors or something else?

[@Shadowpaw67]

How about counteracting high-altitude bombs? I set up a planet side base in a multiplayer server once and someone started dropping impact/warhead bombs from the upper atmosphere

[@Miestwin]

What's with the insane LoD on the large blast door parts?

[@darkgreenlumini]

you should do a single player survival like Scott and make that the Henry storyline

[@unknownunknown743]

Alot of my earliest designed heavier ships had a sliding blast door over the windows using a similar system of pistons but failed a lot due to when hey turned the blast doors would shake and damage the bridge and hull

[@unknownunknown743]

But with buildings I can see how it works well as there is almost no movement

[@VirtueelGamingNL]

Piston should be in the wall and it should go l straight up and at the end it should curve so it fits over the window, this would be even cooler.

[@a_human8489]

When I can I like to build bases in mountains Normally at a mountain with some ores and it becomes insanely well protected. In mp an attack has to come through one choke point or they have to bring heavy mining stuff and it’s not very sneaky

[@tkthelms1273]

Hay Arron I have a brilliant idea for the the portable refinery and how to move multiple

[@odizzido]

It surprises me that we haven't seen this on servers. Then the second sentence has the word piston in it. Yup, that would be why.

[@kaboom4750]

Answer to the decoy bunker thing, thicker floor

[@DukeVictory]

I haven't done a lot of testing to armor lately, so I just ask stupidly: couldn't you shield your lowered-in base with a massiv, heavyblock shield that would overlap the gaps?

[@gordal6866]

how will it hold up against a 1000 degree knife?

[@jastaman1591]

forsain420 what kind of metal would the knife to be made of? because at some point the knife could melt

[@titanmcrolland6877]

Jastaman 1 Carbon steel has a melting point of around 1500 degrees centigrade depending on the purity of ore and coke used.

[@fishydoodlesgaming20]

It would be bloody murdered, lol.

[@PacificAsgard]

The idea with the base section that can be moved is a good one. but what about employing the hiding technique with a ship's bridge (like the ship bridges in MS Gundam Seed Destiny (Mineva), MS Gundam I-B Orphans (Isaribi) and Stargate Universe (Destiny)) so it would allow the bridge to be used outside for observation or non-combat situations and then brought into the hull during ship-to-ship battles or inter-ship movement. As for the underground refinery hidden under a hanger, couldn't the floor section be used more like an elevator for underground transport of vehicles and personnel into an underground facility and to even trick other players into thinking they leveled the place, build it near enough or into a mountain/hillside so a thicker secondary floor can be built and slid into place of the one used as an elevator?

[@dusvchfiwjsvfhskab6477]

I have said this a lot but put these things into scenarios

[@maltek1542]

have a Contest. that is to each person builds a base and a Ship unconsciousness of what the other person creates. then compete in how can take over the other person base first.

[@hawke6195]

If I may suggest a build, a normandy sr-2 would be awesome. I had a look on the workshop and there was none.

[@MediumRareOpinions]

DellaR99 Dwarf lord pangolian has some Mass effect inspired builds, but I think the Normandy is just too smooth a shape to recreate in such a blocky game.

[@hawke6195]

I know, but maybe some modded blocks would help. It's just that the idea of flying a replica of the SR-2 in SE is fantastic :)

[@CognitiveMeanderings]

then there's the "hang on, why are they using heavy blocks/blast doors for a floor? lol
