"Meet the Engineer"

[@GtdAquataine]

I don't know how long I've been underground on this forsaken rock. Days? Weeks? I couldn't tell you. Uppn landing here a gunship spotted me and drove me into a cliffside. The patrols come around every time I stick my head out of the ground, but they don't seem to have notice my water collector which is a godsend since the atmo is not breathable. Underground, limited air, intermittent power. My life has been a monotonous grind attempting to get the fabricator to sort out basic minerals out of the compound I've excavated under the ground. I managed to give the gunship the slip the other day on my bike to go forage for food. I was so hungry I ate it raw, but getting sick was worth it not to die out here. I managed to get a refrisgerator running and between the few olants I managed to collect and the food I scavanged, i just might make it another week. Hopefully by then my new project will be complete and I can take care of that gunship.... 10/10 would dig a hole to hide in again.

[@KeithOlson]

The last run I did a few years ago, I dug my base into a hill so gunships would stop blowing my stuff up. I made the entrance large enough for my hover miner to get inside and go nuts expanding everything. Good times!

[@Zonenkind84]

Rescue this guy.........😵😯

[@morrigancollins2092]

Check to see if you're in hostile territory. One of the easier ways to evade drones is to stay out of their territory, at least long enough to unlock 30mm base cannons so you can shoot them down before they get in range. Barring that, you can use popup tactics to fight starter world drones using a regular assault rifle, just lay triangular concrete or steel base blocks to hide behind for a second.

[@razzy6728]

I'm fucking sold

[@snarkdragon]

I remember one start on a multi-player server, me and a friend had a drone follow another player that ran back to the starting area/crash site. I dug a tunnel with two openings and we used it like a trench to take cover as we took pot shots at the drone with our pistols. As we were fighting it, a second drone wanders in. Went through a lot of bandages taking them down, but was a lot of fun. Despite the frustration, I thought it was a nice change from the rather mundane start I usually experience.

[@Britonbear]

Very good summing up of this gem of a game. I too am surprised how little known this game is, even among fans of the genre. One thing you didn't really mention was the Workshop ; you don't have to be good at building to play as there's a ton of great content out there for those of us not so talented on the design side.

[@odiwalker3973]

He mentions it at the 7:30 mark

[@resurrectedstarships]

@Murphy deffa A lot of the multiplayer bugs are a matter of server quality and maintenance. Finding a good one is important.

[@Reginald-Erasmus]

you are surprised how little known this game is, in the same breath talks about the ton of content, did you maybe not realise that all the content was made by the playerbase

[@chrishoppner7875]

We know this game. We just don’t like it.

[@NovaHawk]

@@resurrectedstarships Not really I have played the shit out of Emp but there is a few really big problems.. PVP is non existent due to bugs especially desync and weapons lagging through the 1st layer of blocks and not registering the hit until they reach a component. Even on PVP servers no one wants to PVP as they are scared to lose ships resources etc. PVE is sooo boring after a while. Once you have flattened a few POI's and fought the NPC ships etc its just repetitive. One of the things I like is also a problem on some servers, grinding. Grinding on some servers is just too much and once the mines are all scooped up you need to rely on meteors which sucks IMO. Not being able to leave your seat while flying also sucks, why they haven't been able to do this yet is crazy. Another problem is windows HP is far too low meaning most people simply don't use them.

[@fg6147]

Been playing this game since 2015. I've played and own both SE, NMS, Elite Dangerous, Star Citizen and basically every Star Wars game you can imagine. Even still, this is without question the best space game ever made. It is the greatest example of what happens when a small dev team doesn't have a marketing team. It is a crime that this game isn't well known

[@SetsunaInfinite]

This game really just didn’t feel smooth and vibe with me.

[@nickowen7406]

@@SetsunaInfinite 100% understandable. I love the game but i definitely get why others don't

[@EvilAnomaly]

@@SetsunaInfinite As someone with tons of hours I can attest that it's not smooth and its age shows in many ways. Hard disagree w/ OP that EGS is the best made space game. Having owned/played tons of hours into SE, NMS, SB, ED, DU, EVE, and SC I have to say that SC is now (as of 3.17) the best space game ever made! Tons of annoying bugs to deal with but at the end of the day (even in its unfinished state that many bash it for) it has everything that all these other games have combined with the exception of building your own ship (which honestly most player built ships are trash looking as they go for extreme fantasy over anything near realistic vs the extreme details SC puts in their ships and the scale of them). Use to be a hardcore basher of SC but now with the performance increase and me owning a more beefy PC it just can't be touched. Hell I learned just the other day that the damn game actually puts out real time in-game trading info on screens (I thought it was just typical static stuff to look cool) and that they have a system for the economy/trading (a loop that some dive into though trading is not for me). That's just one thing. I'll give EGS props for having a more full system compared to the others listed but it comes 2nd to SC as of this year.

[@gstylez0107]

@@EvilAnomaly I just can't see it and I highly doubt you have or will accumulate nearly as many hours on SC as it stands. I think you'll get bored quicker than you expect. SC still lacks way too much, it's a technical marvel, an impressive showcase of possibility.. but that's all it is and has been for too long.. This game brought us nearly everything SC promised, but 7 years sooner.. It may not have the detail and fidelity of SC, but unlike SC, this game is actually fun, it has things to do.. I do hope that SC someday becomes everything it's meant to be, but that seems a ways off..

[@Radical_Middle]

@@EvilAnomaly players build shit ships and nice ships in SE. some build amazing ones. not ships only. whole lot of machinery doing things.

Thank you for making a video on Empyrion! I agree it really is a hidden gem. It's a very unique game that offers an experience I just haven't found in any other game before.

It's fucking amazing.. Overwhelming at first, but once you get into the rythm it becomes a masterpiece.. Hands down in my top ten games of all time. I haven't played it in years, but the time I had with it is unparalleled, no other space sim touches this.

[@babybirdhome]

I’m a huge fan of the genre, but I probably wouldn’t have known about this one had it not been for a friend telling me about it when I was looking for something like Space Engineers but different ages and ages ago. It’s definitely rough in places and not perfect, but that’s par for the course in the genre, and what this one does have is fantastically fun. Very much worth the price of admission.

[@Cheater357]

9.99 right now, I'm going for it

[@daltonslayton6766]

I've had the game since it was first on steam. It's changed alot since I first played it. I always loved how it had water. I used to make levels that had hangers that you needed to go through the water to get to

[@GmKaiser]

I was impressed, and then you showed the interstellar map! Holy cow!

[@RavienGaming]

The vanilla game has about 10,000 to 15,000 star systems! Reforged Eden (what he's showing here) has about 25,000.

Nice to see you've had 150K+ viewers for this excellent vid :) After over 2,200 hours since 2015 I still come back to Empyrion for a space survival fix. Worth noting that v1.8 has just been released and the Devs are *still* working hard on the game after seven years and communicate daily with the fanbase!

[@annenoam5392]

Awesome to see someone with such a large following talk nicely about this game :) and i spotted my own ship in the background, so that was a highlight for me as well :D

[@romandohnal7597]

This review is pure gold. Great work!

[@baronvonschnellenstein2811]

Thanks for this video. Empyrion certainly is "its own thing" and is definitely worth a look. It is quite an achievement from a very small dev team. I played Empyrion when it was still in early access and before they had completed the tutorial campaign. I had another shorter spell once the developers had largely fleshed out the faction interaction / reputation functionality in, which meant the starter planet had all these 'territories' on it. - One area Empyrion shined for me was the vegetation (and amount), particularly on the temperate planets and on some of the slightly alien planets - space engineers still doesn't quite match that look and feel - I also liked the survival mechanics such as growing various items in plots and synthesising different 'dishes' with said ingredients (there's at least a few good mods to support this in Space Engineers now) - They also were 'ahead of the game' so to speak w.r.t. the different construction materials, particularly for ground / space structures; NMS soon overtook that, then Space Engineers caught up some time later, but credit where it is due. For me, many of the textures on the ship construction blocks detract from the overall product, but since I last played they've certainly improved the starmap and by the looks of things, rather polished the look of planets when viewed from space and on approach for landing. - With the appropriate mods, Space Engineers for me now caters for the niche that Empyrion covers, along with SE's speciality in terms of constructing various articulated machinery and generally, better visual polish. That said, I don't regret the time I put into Empyrion and for folks that haven't played it yet: Probably worth a go.

[@ArtifexRex]

Great video! As I understand it, Eleon is a little 7 person game studio. Game is still somewhat buggy, but has come a long way since Alpha 8 (3 years?), and yet I have over 3k hours in it. Just keep coming back. Love building my own ships. It has much larger and more aggressive universe than Space Engineers. If you want more challenge, turn on resource depletion, CPU and Weight limits. Server hosting is inexpensive too, so it's fun to play with a team.

[@RC-Sev]

Thank GOD someone is finally talking about this game. Got it on sale a long time ago for like $8 and it's genuinely one of the best I've ever played. Nothing quite beat that feeling of first jumping out of my ship, my lifeline, to manually mine an asteroid and stare into the fringes of the galaxy feeling uneasy like there's something there then turning 180 and being dumbstruck by the breathtaking awe of the galactic core. Such an underrated feature that the sky box looks different depending on where you are in it

[@nate_d376]

I've got over 4000 hours in this game, from since it was first available, to today. Thanks for bringing some more eyes on it. I'd recommend using reforged/eden scenario, available on the workshop, as it adds tons of new content/weapons and changes up the rules a little, along with new factions.

[@dimakappa2195]

[@OllieIbb]

I just wish No man's sky had the space exploration of Elite Dangerous. I don't like that in No man's sky, all the planets are so unrealistically close to each other and the sun is just an unreachable object in the sky. But No man's sky has the ground exploration that Elite dangerous does not. So if those 2 games combined than I would be real happy. It would also be real nice if the planets in No man's sky had more than just 1 type of weather on each planet, like the poles and equator are the same temperature and the biome is the same for the entire planet. It would be cool if some planets had deserts but also forests and maybe glaciers on the poles. But I know that's real hard to make and could take a year of dedicated work to implement into the game.

[@JerrodAmolyan]

...Damn. This looks like a game I'm going to get asap. :D Never even heard of it, even though I've tried googling space games to play many many many times. Thank you!

[@jasonmcwright2661]

This is a nice overview of a great game that doesn't get enough attention. I'm a former SE player that started playing Empyrion a couple of years ago and I haven't looked back. SE is a great engineering game, but Empyrion is so much better for PvE, and that's what I want when I play a space survival/building game.

[@SamCitizenMarkley]

As a Star Citizen player, this looks amazing, essentially what SC is striving to do with extremely high graphics in comparison, but sometimes you don't need that, you need gameplay! thank you for making a video, i will most deff get this whilst SC catches up lol

Great video for such a gem of a game. A hidden one indeed.

[@ItsgottabeTurbo]

Saw this vid on my homepage randomly, gave it the 10 mins, and immediately went to steam and picked this up for 20 bucks. I have Space Engineers, NMS and Elite D, so seeing it all mixed together is awesome, without having to wait another 15 years for Star Citizen, as amazing as that games promises may be, this is a good one to tide me over. Ill check back when i get a few hours into this.

[@coffeeandvapes1308]

How are/did you get on with it?

[@ChrisCypher]

I haven't played in years and I can't believe how far the game has come. Last time I played, there were like 3 planets and just played with my two friends (who I convinced to get it). What's the max player count on a server?

[@molybdaen11]

16-100 but most of them will be offline anyway.

I have had this one since it came out in early access. It's one I always return to. It's awesome and the devs upgrade it a lot.

[@montymantis3947]

11,250 hours into the game and I never get bored. Now that the War and Industry mod has been released things just keep getting better and better. Great video. Really nice for those considering giving Empyrion a go. 👍🏻

Nice vid. Haven't played this in ages and been thinking of doing a run and damn, this game has changed a LOT since I last played it. Looks even more amazing then ever. I have a couple hundred hours with this game but it's all from very early days.

[@janneaalto3956]

I got this when there was still just one planet. It was as janky as Planet Explorers ended up. Tried it again maybe two years ago when I noticed that it has seen constant development over the years. The difference between then and now is amazing, and the player and modding community is equally so.

[@suluklu]

i forgot i had this game. now i put 193 hours in to it .. well done to devs

[@Striker9]

Man I was hoping more people would cover empyrion. It's actually pretty good for what seems like a really low budget. I honestly don't even know how I found it

[@ZirconX1]

Yeah I used to play a lot of Space Engineers and always had in my head how good it would be if it had real gameplay behind it. Then I heard this game mentioned in a SE game. My reaction to thei nformation was like. Yeah yeah im sure its just a little thing thats not anywhere as good as im being told. I checked the game out on youtube first. Guy playing Reforged Eden. Man. I was baffled. And I bought it right away. Installed Reforged Eden (I never even touched the base game lol) and for the first 100 hours or so I was just in this permanent state of WTF why didn't I learn of this game before. Its EXACTLY what I wanted from Space Engineers. Creative building of ships and bases. But with a damn PURPOSE behind it. Progression. Story. Gameplay. And now a few years later im thousands of hours in. And still playin Reforged Eden. Which along with the game gets regular sizeable updates. Cant recommend this game enough. Is it AAA level on the animations and such. Nope. But that's the thing. No AAA game does what this game does. And it does it pretty damn well.

[@itt2055]

It is a true gem of a game, it was started by a single person who has done the majority of the work and has only recently been getting help from the games community. It is very community based and is still a work in progress and it still has some problems but the game has progressed better than other games that are similar and have a large number of people working on them. I personally play it on my own and it doesn't need to be played on a dedicated server. I have found that it is a better building game than the majority of games that claim to be building games. It is extremely good value for money and I am very happy with it.

[@Tongue_Twister]

I've had Empyrion in the library for several years. I spent 470 hours in this game and I can honestly say that it is worth attention. It is true that the character animations are a bit clunky, but the producer is constantly improving the elements of the game. If you like constructing all kinds of vehicles and buildings and space exploration, you can buy this game without thinking.

[@captainjirk9564]

Empyrion keeps getting better over the years. It got a lot of flak in its early days when it released, but it's a very different game than it was back in 2015. With more polish, and really just more players making things and interacting with each other, it would be amazing. One of the biggest issues with this game is the lack of population. With more people, the devs might feel more encouraged to work on it more, though it seems like they have done so very well for the past decade, even if it's not so popular. They deserve a lot more recognition for what they've done

[@GBgames946]

Yes this is a very underrated game and I have thousands upon thousands hours invested in this game and you WILL get your moneys worth in buying it.

I have said it countless times on countless videos about this game. After 30 years of gaming this game is without doubt the most under rated game i have ever played. In terms of building be it ships or bases it has no equal. NO EQUAL. I agree with Nate below that you should check out the Project Eden or Reforged Eden scenarios that take the game to a whole new level. Also massive respect to Ravien Gaming below for all his hard work on the Project Eden scenario

[@artsensi9759]

[@smaugbr]

This is my most played game in my Steam list, more than 1500 hours of gameplay.

[@typhir5911]

This game has been my go to survival crafting game. It hits all the right notes. Building is not nearly as complex as Space Engineers, although the simplicity has its drawbacks as you cannot design a starship that can print smaller starships like in SE. The level of exploration rivals that of No Man's Sky and you can spend hours lost on a single planet just exploring the natural beauty of each world or spend countless hours building your mega starship that will hold all of your smaller ships and hover vessels. Looting and survival are on par with other survival games like Ark or 7 Days to Die, both of which I do love. I love the fact that you can design and build your own starships and they can be as creative as you want them to be. The only other game that rivals this in that category is Space Engineers, but I find Empyrion's building systems far easier to learn and just pick up and play. You don't even need to be an expert builder as the Steam workshop has countless number of vessels made by the community over the years that you can bring into the game with the built in factory option that is usually available to the player, unless it is disabled by server admins. Some of those starships on the workshop look incredible and wouldn't look out of place in a sci-fi show.

I see familiar names on commenting already, and I agree with them. Thank you for the video, Empyrion is a hidden gem. I would even emphasize it to be Space Minecraft, and its Reforged Eden -mod as RLCraft. Reforged and Eden combo consist yet again much more playmaterial and depth.

[@spanners7343]

I've been playing this game since the early Beta days and it has come along way since that time. I highly recommend it for people that love exploring and building games. There allot for options and mods for this game that have made it enjoyable to play over many years. I recommend new players start with the base game then try some of the larger mod scenarios like ReforgedEden but there are also allot of smaller fun scenarios like Star Salvage that alter the gameplay significantly making it new and fun.

[@jonny-b4954]

Wow, game has progressed A LOT since I used to play it. You used to be limited to a square grid. There was no "planet" really. Now there's multiple planets? And multiple systems? Awesome.

[@Ivan-cv4dl]

As someone that has played empyrion for quite a while I would say be careful with this title. Everyone should be aware that Eleon decided to skip part of the beta and go straight to full 1.0 release, even with the bugs at the time unaddressed (although some have been addressed since but not all). Another main problem with empyrion is the very frequent server wipes that cause you to have to start from scratch everytime (much like in Star Citizen), and although some servers have mods that have wipe-protected backpacks, some wipes require for backpacks to be wiped as well so no matter what eventually you will lose your mats (some server admins try their best to help by giving you replacements after wipes). The wipes are a head-scratcher because if the game is fully released why do they need to wipe every time there is a major update? The reality is empyrion can be a good title for some as long as you know what you are getting into.

[@Kathrynerius]

Empyrion used to be one of my all-time favorite games. However when they decided to unceremoniously rush out 1.0, when the game was years from being complete yet, and they even just re-used a trailer from an old alpha, (Alpha 7) was when I stopped caring about the game. Even all these years later, they’re still tinkering with the fundamentals, breaking saves every update. They still haven’t finished the tutorial, replaced the placeholder unity store assets, or even finished the character creator… They did finally add the ability to crouch in 1.8, y’know, years after 1.0. If it was still early access, it would still be at the top for me. However this is NOT a finished game, and with them labeling it as one, I have to judge it as one, and it is not up to par.

[@wannab009]

one issue that we have encountered when playing on a server is that when we are all online and we park our capital ship in space and log out, if someone else logs is and moves the ship, you will be left in space when you log back in, we still love the game and game play, and return to it and start a new server when major updates come out and expand the story line, and we also have gotten into running mods like eden and reforged. great game overall, and by far the best steam sale pickup ive bought in years

[@wannab009]

another issue, when landing on a station we feel that your ship should be protected from attack which isnt the case

What the heck, thanks for showing this gem for us, i had no clue this game is this capable. I saw some on-foot gameplay before, but it seemed so clunky that i did not try the game myself.

I spent a lot of time playing Empyrion a year or more ago. Had a huge underground base, Multiple vehicles etc. But what the game is missing or could it be that it is too big. The only time I ever ran into another player was on the starter planet and that was once. The game had a few flaws too, windows in ships have to much reflection if you are trying to look outside at night. Every thing I tried, at night you could not see out side your ship. not sure if that reflection problem was ever fixed. 2nd and I assume it was the server. If I did not use my ship in 3 days or something like that it would just be gone. I had a CV that just left one day and a few specialty HV. One HV was more like a tow truck to collect stuff, one was a harvester, one more a hunting platform and another an explorer. If I did not use it ever 3 days it would be gone. Last is the power issue. My bases would eat up power all the time and the same with the CV. I was spending more time trying to keep things fueled up than exploring. last thing, minerals would never reset. The server I was on was running for a long time, so I know people were playing it and could see that is was full on some occasions. But when you are mining etc. you could go back to the same place that show some mineral etc on the map a month later, the ground has filled in but it was still at 0%. ok another pev. if it is at zero percent do not show it on the map. I like the game, but I think it is too big for it's own good in some cases.

[@resurrectedstarships]

That reflection problem may have been fixed, I've not had problems seeing out of windows at night, but it could be light placement. All the rest is just a matter of how the server is setup.

[@RavienGaming]

The window tint was greatly reduced. It's a lot better now.

Do you play on the Anvil RE server? If not we would love to see you! Awesome video

[@EvilAnomaly]

Ahh EGS...it'll always have a place in my heart. Love that it's one of the few space games to offer a full deal (on planet, in space, varying ship sizes, a story, etc). BUT with that said it's unfortunate that the game gets weighed down with its age. I also don't care for the typical survival element in it either. Feel that small part of it does it more harm than good!

[@gstylez0107]

I personally love it, I think it's a necessary part of the experience, struggling from the ground up makes it a more organic and rewarding experience... Definitely tedious and will detract many who lack the patience, but if you can stick it out, it pays off so much..

[@dillpicklegames2979]

i like how at 5:48 you’re showing off a rendition of the Mining Barge from Eve Online. always loved mining in that beast

[@guitaroso]

Thanks for this vid - I've had this since it's pre alpha - have not looked at it for about 5 years

[@ablaze1989]

I fly around in the Normandy sr2 looking for things to kill/mine park in orbit and drop down to the planet in my Delta flyer from STV lol. I love this game.

[@Amelie12]

sv or cv? i had tried out some time ago the cv Normandy SR2 from AssA and did not really like it.

[@jimskam]

With thousands of hours across all 4 of those games, Empyrion Galactic Survival is the best of the pack

[@emmanuellopez1130]

Bro truth! I’ve owned empyrion for about 3 years now and just discovered reforge eden and I’m in love with it.

[@cptnoname]

Love this game. Picked it up in October 23 and have played almost 800 hours in the past 6 months

[@HCforLife1]

I tried it and this is so far the best game. I prefer this one over elite dangerous (landable planets and living universe), and NMS (more realistic non cartoon style). Thx for info about this game!

[@Ronhulsasha]

Dam, I remember empirion as low-budged space engineers parody, now it's gorgeous! Gona return and play it

[@captnrobvious47]

I've logged in hours of late night building. Building my first ships made me feel like a kid with Legos again.

[@Elxuryy]

This game looks like space engineers but way better. I cant believe I've never heard of this before

[@alexbarahona4784]

You should be considered the marketing department. Im going to buy it now

[@ale8oneale8one22]

Honestly, If you're not playing the Reforged Eden mod; you're not playing EGS. It's a whole different game.

[@lightsauce590]

Have you heard of star citizen and what’s its attempting

[@Dinkdoo96]

This game is everything I've ever wanted in a game. Masterpiece, bugs glitches and all.

[@shadow0421]

lmao I absolutely love this game [layed it so much and still play years later. a game you keep coming back to

[@dpraptorP]

Bought this game a few years or so ago. Played for a while, I liked it then. It looks great now! I will definitely be exploring it again.

[@AsianPaulConrad]

I remember playing this with my friends about 5 years ago when it was still in alpha, dude actually almost fried his psu because because we put too many light sources in base and for some reason that pulled more power from the gpu. that didnt stop us from playing tho lmao.

This. Game. Looks. Awesome! Seriously, this has the feel of that I _thought_ Elite Dangerous was when I first encountered that game in my teens. This also, really, really, seems to be what Star Citizen is trying to accomplish, it just seems it from an earlier epoch (graphics wise!). Still, this video throws me back to games such as Hunter on the Amiga, which was just so exciting to explore!
