Space Engineers | Mechyard Survival: Episode 10 - Balance of Power

[@thedyingmeme6]

WWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MORE MECHYARD WOOOOOOOOOOO bro you have no idea how excited i am for a new MCHYRD episode!!! You've gotten me on *SUCH* a SE mech hyperfixation and this is the only series that Scratches That Itch

[@dread_mechanic]

Cheers dude, glad you're enjoying it. That's kinda why I started this series lol. I too have a mech hyper fixation and no one else seem to be doing much with them in this context. Once I've got some Uranium I can start doing much more complex stuff that doesn't have to rely on big chunky batteries 👍

[@Unl3ashed20]

Amazing video as usual! From the recent attacks on your base I noticed most of your armed mechs are pretty lightly armored. In case you plan to attack something in the future or have bigger and heavier threats coming to your base, may I suggest to build a mech like the spider tank from the anime "Sound of the Sky". The base of your mining mech RDKN could prove useful in that regard by adding a turret where the drone would otherwise sit. Would love to see something like that

[@dread_mechanic]

Thank you! The bipeds are mostly light armour as the extra weight of heavy armour tends to mess with their ability to walk. But I do like the idea of making another Redknee but with an offensive drone on top. And I’m already planning on doing some bigger spider tanks when I get some Uranium, so I’ll have to check out “Sound of the Sky” as I’m not familiar with that one. Cheers for the tip 👍

[@Unl3ashed20]

@dread_mechanic Can imagine. Gotta get back into SE myself because I have some fun ideas. To safe you some time on the search the mech is called "Takemikazuchi"

[@Unl3ashed20]

@dread_mechanic Yeah I thought as much already. I gotta get back into SE myself as I got some ideas I want to try. To save you some time searching for it the mechs name ist "Takemikazuchi". Best to put Sound of the Sky behind it so you only get images from the anime

[@dread_mechanic]

@@Unl3ashed20 Cheers dude, I'll have a look at it. I do love me a good spider robot 👍

[@dread_mechanic]

@@Unl3ashed20 I just had a quick look and all I can say is "ooooooh I like it" 😍

[@MichaelArlt]

I love the supporter sign. Great way to show appreciation 👍

[@dread_mechanic]

Well I really do appreciate the support 🖤This seemed like the best way to show it.

[@Spaceisgr8]

You have quickly became my favorite SE youtuber. As well as my first membership subscription. Keep up the awesome work my guy.

[@dread_mechanic]

Thank you so much for the compliment and the membership!

[@thegreatnull6270]

Hell yes, love this series so much!

[@dread_mechanic]

Thank you for watching and for your support 🖤

[@thegreatnull6270]

@dread_mechanic thank you for the amazing content!

[@joeymilks3090]

Been keeping up with this series, great stuff! It would be pretty dope to add some sort of central rail cannon (something massive, think Halo mac cannon style) to help with taking out those pesky ships in a badass way, and I think it would really fit the base. Love the content, and the video editing works very well. Thanks for putting in all the time and effort to make these videos great, it’s really appreciated!

[@dread_mechanic]

Thank you so much and I definitely have some plans for super weapons. I've been thinking of building some kind of mobile railgun platform at some point 👍

[@CubeAtlantic]

This is mathetically nice & kind of relaxin! 👍🎇

[@dread_mechanic]

Thank you!

[@randallvolk8437]

One thing you could do to help with power in the meantime is look for sections of wall and roofs that are 2x4 and are flat, the replace the armor blocks with the colorable solar panels. The roof of the mantis hanger could probably hold a decent amount of them!

[@dread_mechanic]

That's a nice idea, I might have to see where I can squeeze some into the architecture. Thanks for the tip 👍

[@Spaceisgr8]

Just an idea. If defence continues to be an issue, build defence platforms on top of the mountains around your valley. You can add wind farms toward the inside of you perimeter for self power and welders for self repair.

[@dread_mechanic]

That exact idea actually on my to-do list 👍I want to build some kind of lookout towers away from the base to give me a little more warning.

[@nom21304]

You should place decoys or use drones with decoys on them, so the drones that attack you don't crash into the base

[@dread_mechanic]

Oh I like the idea of decoy drones. I could possibly even rig them with explosives and make little kamikaze drones 🤔

[@shadenphoenix]

💚💚💚 Woohoo! Just finished our blizzard-ridden nearly 2000mi (3,220km) round trip to finish moving the rest of our stuff, but next month hope to be able to join membership, if you have a patreon or something besides google/KZbin lol. Hate google... Love your stuff!

[@dread_mechanic]

Hey dude, glad you got something sorted out. Yes I do have a patreon where I upload the new Mechyard episodes too (need to upload the latest ones) if you want to support me there. You'll still get early access to stuff just on a different platform 👍

[@shadenphoenix]

@dread_mechanic 💚

[@MichaelArlt]

Every episode i hope, that base does run out of some resources to see Fishy on a trip out in the wild 🤣 Today I got fully satisfied 😎❤️

[@dread_mechanic]

I run out of Iron constantly with all these robots and I've been mining in the same spot, so that hole in the ground is just getting bigger 🤣

[@almightywarrior3979]

Would love for you to post a collection of what you're using, these are some great builds. Thanks for the content

[@dread_mechanic]

If you're referring to the mechs I've built, each episode has some links in the description to whatever I've been tinkering with that week. There's both Steam & ModIO versions and I also update the blueprints as I update the mechs throughout the series 👍

[@almightywarrior3979]

@dread_mechanic Noo, I mean the mods that you're using in general for the playthrough.

[@dread_mechanic]

​@@almightywarrior3979 Oh ok, I get you. I'll add a mod list to the playlist description 👍

[@chadp6307]

Howl's Moving Drill Rig... I love it, and I get the (anime) reference for this one too. Looking forward to seeing it in action. About the Ice/H2 situation... wouldn't it be easier (fewer thrusters/batteries/H2) to haul a tank of H2 than cargo containers of ice back to the base since it takes multiple loads of ice to make 1 load of H2? Once you get base power into a state of surplus, will there be a Rail Gun Turret added to the defensive system? With all the autonomous mechs, I half expect to eventually see some sort of animated "Cowboy" turret that draws and aims it's guns to shoot at encroaching enemies. Oh, sorry... stop filling your head with wacky ideas... I know, I know.

[@dread_mechanic]

One of those ideas I've already done, just you wait and see. The others are definitely on my to do list in some form 😉

No Arms

[@dread_mechanic]

No arms, just big drill!
