There are all sorts of neat ship designs for this game, but they tend to focus on capital ships and not smaller stuff. Your fighter has a reasonably narrow target profile and good maneuverability options (but God help you if something takes out one of your side engine mounts). A lot of people don't like to put rotors on warships, as damage to them can cause serious problems, but you design your badass turrets however you damn well please. Awesome job!

[@Anvilshock]

> "We have to be a little bit efficient" > proceeds to build five fully kitted refineries Did you know that even a single, un-upgraded refinery processes stone faster than conveyors can tick it in through a single port?

[@EvonixTheGreatest]

A very little bit

[@The_Digital_Samurai]

Also. Use a sorter to the refineries. Set it to white list and stone. Then turn on drain all. Your refineries will stay full. Then connect the other end of the refineries and put in another sorter that white lists ingots and drain all. That will maximize your efficiency processing stone.

[@Wesley3298]

You might need to add a sorter into each refinery individually delivering stone and one delivering ingots out. it will increase the efficiency because at the moment its only keeping the first refinery full

[@Runescope]

You REALLY need to look at Izzy's inventory management script so you can keep your inventories sorted and stop jamming up your assemblers.

[@Runescope]

You can use the script to set certain cargo blocks to hold certain types. Ores, ingots, ammo whatever. It works for refineries too, so they pull stone much faster and keep working rather than work-shut down-work-shut down etc etc etc.

[@meefstick]

Yes! Especially with nanite factories. You can ensure a minimum of 100 of each component stays stocked so they never stop building!!

[@meefstick]

Since you have loads of NPCs spawning, i think we need a moonbase grinding pit. Use a remote control large ship with landing gears as a crane to gather the scraps of frigates ypir fighter leaves behind :)

[@meefstick]

Also for quality of life. Install an airlock script to automatically close doors on a grid. I have it set at .5-.75 seconds. Its just enough time to wall through to reduce o2 loss. Can even get fancy and set it up to automatically depressurize

[@chrisplace6403]

video got suggested to me via algorithm, SE channels are lacking these days, love the clear direction and skill you provide in videos, consider me subscribed m8

[@kirknay]

I feel like Keen should add casing recycling to gatling guns, so we get a small amount of iron left from using the ammo in our ships. This would encourage connecting the guns to conveyors or cargo, as it would otherwise be spat out/wasted. This would also unlock the possibility of alternative ammo, such as caseless anti-tank rounds (uses more explosive, does more damage, but no recycled casings), which would be better as a gunship round, but is too expensive and volitile (gun explodes possibly when caseless is used and gun is damaged beyond hackable, not sliced by grinder) for use in anti-infantry or general purpose. Also, just throw a shield projector onto the top of the solar tower.

[@atomicrc5189]

Stone becomes the new currency*** This guy: IM RITCH •~•

[@gorillaau]

Hyperinflation run rampant through the economy. No one trusts stone as a currency. Before long citizens are using something else as a unofficial currency. Probably a rare metal or two. From fiat currency back to a gold standare back currency. That could be fun to see.

[@Krzys_D]

You need an inventory script it will help with assembling things for you.

[@vicegaminguk]

The Bob Ross of Space Engineers. Thanks for the awesome content!

[@Patrick1985McMahon]

Put a vent between the two doors so you can depressurize the section prior to opening the door then you wouldn't lose that bit of air when opening the set of doors. Your current double door setup is still wasting air in between the two doors.

[@wise_guy4230]

You could jetison some of the gravel you're accumulating.

[@Comicsluvr]

1) Love the name of the Zion Base. 2) The sorting thing IS a thing. 20k Nickel in one + 20k Cobalt in the other = no metal grids for you. 3) I'm having the same problem only with Ice. I built an auto-miner similar to the ones you used on Earth and my base if FILLED with Ice.

[@The_Digital_Samurai]

Use small ship merge blocks to merge the sub grids. You do this with temporary blocks and detach the rotor heads. This makes it better for survival printing.

[@asmuda]

When placing refineries side by side as you did, you can interlink them via the modules for an added boost. Example, two refineries side by side vertically, with four horizontal modules down the center and two vertical modules to each side, will count as six modules per refinery. I kind of stumbled on this by accident lol.

[@bioboy1819]

You could use a projector to then project the turret designs ready for printing. Then attach the turret by its rotor head to the adv. rotor base. Also useful for reprinting turrets if they are destroyed.

[@atomicrc5189]

11:52 that music in the background...is that normal SE music or is that post music? (If so what’s the song called cuz there’s this se survival series *cough* the odyssey *cough* that has the same music and I’ve been wondering what it was

[@Lantalia]

Why not just use basic refineries for stone? Also, a sorter to slurp the stone into the big storage would help with the splash problem, and don't forget to eject the gravel!

[@scorpioncoreuniverse8981]

I love how your mining Like the Way You Are. Love the small gunship it looks like you'll really wreck couple of bad NPC.

[@Zamolxes77]

I know everything is temporary, that conveyor tube flying out, unsupported, tickles my structural integrity sense. unpleasantly. You could build the floor you mention you wanted going up that way, then sink the conveyor underneath the ground. Its a major weakness if you're attacked by Sentinels ;). Also here's another idea: finish your "spokes" with solar towers. For dedicated, automated refineries, best way is to hook up each refinery to a pair of filters, one in, one out. Technically you could hook up all refineries to a single out filter, but you have to do it through tubes, won't work from one refinery to the next.

[@antonymash9586]

You know that mining set up could have been done involving a few pistons, merge blocks, welders and conectors. Its a set up you see in hole boaring stations but I ont see why it could not be addapted to your array. What you would do is have a few pistns to act as the driving force behind your expanion. These would be conected to your drill arm with spar of armor block and/or a conveyor conected with a merge block and a conector. When you reach your maximum extention you clamp your drills to the wall using a landing leg, then you detach you pistions and retract them. You would then project a new section of arm and weld it,conect your pistons to the end of your new section and you have a new 3 pistons worth of length to reach out and drill to without manual placement and welding. With the right timing and or script you could make it fully automated..

[@ericseabrook3338]

Quick question regarding rotor turrets. How did you get the observer to work as a designer? I've been having a problem where it simply wont fire because there is no ammo for it.

[@stiforr8714]

I get so much stone but I always notice the refineries pull and and process like 2k of it at a time and then there is a gap. Any way to speed that up? Do sorters help with that?

[@CirJohn]

To get around sub-grid blueprint issue, you can put projectors in the vehicle that project the sub-grid. Just remember to turn on "keep blueprint" in their terminal.

[@pantinspetsupplies5469]

Why didn't you put things on your hotbar on the dropship? Connector, grouped landing gear and grouped thrusters. Things I learnt in my first sitting that made docking so much simpler than having to go into the menu every time have to move.

[@RyanMcGuire]

I'm having a better time with isys inventory manager rather than dealing with sorters (Junctions are 2-way, why aren't sorters??) Thematically it also makes more sense to me that conveyers would be controlled by a programmable block, not by a one way pipe valve. Set enableOreBalancing=true (and engableStoneProcessing=true in your case, I don't bother with stone either :) and all your refineries will stay evenly full thanks to good engineering.

[@mjk9388]

Really love this series, especially your design for the moon base.

[@yhtapmesm]

Good content. Would your rock mining risk the base collapsing in on itself tho? In the event that that narrow band gets attacked and destroyed by drones.

[@Kanajashi]

The station won't move even if it wasn't touching the ground at all since I have "unsupported stations" option on. So there is no worries about the base ever collapsing

[@hughsmith7504]

Fighter reminds me of the stealth fighter from BSG, this is a good thing.

[@hetrick5]

Could you add a second arm to the drill rig opposite the first to speed up the process?

[@davidsisson194]

You should check out Daily Needs, gives an extra element to survival. It adds hunger, thirst and stamina, along with hydroponics, food processing and water purifiers. There might be some things I'm forgetting, but I been having a lot of fun with it.

[@iamryker8846]

why not speedup the process of drilling the hole by adding an another layer(s) of drills like u did in ur iron mine on earth? and btw u should do this to drill down as well just saving some time and getting more efficiency out of every turn ur drill does. sry for bad english =) greetings from germany

[@LSCrazyCabCo]

there's a mod that turns rock into minor amounts of all the other ore using ice and a crap tone of energy, i find it helpfull for getting rid of whats collected as it all gets a use.

[@Kanajashi]

Thankfully now the refineries are processing stone with iron, nickel and silicon

[@copperthedergy]

Instead of the 1x1x1 advanced rotor mod, you could add the dual headed advanced rotor head mod which also adds a small rotor, but the dual head rotor is much cooler.

[@thomasschultz5893]

Inputs and outputs need to be bridged with conveyors to equalize flow to each refinery.

[@jonathanwilson8951]

29:00 Ammo and Ice. Couldn't be more gangsta if you tried :)

[@Runescope]

You should blueprint the subgrids to their own pattern, then setup a second projector just for the turrets.

[@Zamolxes77]

Fighter came out pretty nice, maybe a bit bulky for a nimble fighter, looks like a "small large fighter" .

[@KerberLeo]

I love your enthusiasm. Eekxelent!

[@joops110]

When renaming objects like rotors you should always include the original object name, so you won't get confused later on like at 42:00.

[@mattmurphy1065]

Good thing stone is a good thing to have finally

[@tennohack6704]

Idk if you ever learned this so I'll say it here, You can fit double the amount of upgrades on each refinary if you offset them by one

[@tomsonlarrson3318]

TennoHack The upgrades apply based on the upgrade slots on the refinery (the squares on refineries/assemblers), not the actual module itself. You can check in control panel which upgrades are being applied/used upgrade slots

[@christopherporter51]

Are u playing on 10x inventory?

[@Utoxin]

Recently stumbled onto your channel. Love the videos, and it's giving me all kinds of ideas for the playthrough me and my friends are working on. :)

[@Peoples_Republic_of_Cotati]

my solution to stone disposal on a Keen Server. Sneakily Drilled at 45degree angle towards the lone source of Cobalt 1.4km away. Put Refiner not far from the hole. aimed separator and Connector to the hole. Stone rolls down the chute....kinda want to put sensor down there to sense intruders and begin drilling and dump stone if/when raiders show up.

[@tohpingtiang4878]

You should put a camera where your connector is.

[@jaroto12]

Love the vids I am bringing these and I just want to help the algorithm to bring dis up

[@FUBuddy]

cant you just blueprint projectors into the ship then use those to project + build/repair the turrets/subgrids ?

[@hermesvoeglein535]

Still too many conveyorjunctions ... get rid of that habbit using junctions instead of standart conveyors, it will save you a lot of simspeed later on.

[@Kanajashi]

Too many junctions will cause sim speed issues? i will look into changing things around when i finally set up the base.

[@hermesvoeglein535]

Jup they do cause simspeeddrops and even lags, it's a known issue with their coding, if it's not necessary to use them, don't use them, keep their numbers to the bares minimum.

[@EliteSwedenPhotography]

@ Hermes Voeglein - I did not know this. Is this still true in todays version? I always use a ton of them, no conveyor tubes whatsoever. I have no Sim speed drop, but the game stutters like crazy...smooth for one sec and then stutter. It isn't a low framerate isue either. Maybe I should stop using them as much as I can.

[@ChiefFalque]

I find it ridiculous that you get twice as much Iron as gravel from stone. That needs to be nerfed, both in terms of gameplay as well as reasonability....

[@cocoloco1215]

Can you still mine with the nanite, there use to be a mining attachment, also those poles you keep passing can be put on a ship not connected to the grid to repair your ships

[@Atepa09]

saw the fighter yesterday morning before this video was even up I think... I love the design of it, but god is it annoying to build via projector without a nanite facility because of the way the game handles projectors. I'm 2/3's of the way done it thought! lol

[@tejasparkar9119]

Which mod is it i can't seem to find it in workshop?? And can’t seem to find the costom piston speed mod. Someone plz help

[@bagofsunshine3916]

How are you getting all those resources from the stone? My reffineries just give me gravel from stone.

[@monkeydragonson9851]

IMPORTANT!!!! Can it do a barrel roll

[@jaroto12]

Yes first priority is it can do a barrel roll

[@mikewhitaker2880]

honestly i dont see the problem with "TOO MUCH" stone anymore..specially if you use a concrete mod like i do.. because now you dont have the extra gravel anymore, which is the main ingredient for concrete mods...

[@kubafijalkowski]

cocratulations with 11k subs!!!!!

[@wilsonw13]

I guess I'm not understanding why you are filtering the refineries to just stone. Wouldn't be better to let them process everything that needs processing? Especially if your large digging operation runs into a non-100% stone patch.

[@Michael-gn9eu]

Awesome content sir -- keep it up

[@nickbrennan3925]

Check out 'DireWolf20' on the workshop he had a whole series on SE. And did very easy to follow vids for auto industry and auto cargo sorting. These will help solve your problems

[@acullenboi]

Please, can you tell me, how do you make the pistons is not vibrating? It's a script or mod? 😅 You made very very good contents! 😁

[@Kanajashi]

Set all the pistons to have "Share Inertia Tensor" and most of the wobble goes away

Ahw man, you helped a lot, thank you! 😁❤️

Hey man please do more piracy videos. If you haven’t added them already there are probably mods for increasing the diversity of ai ships. There used to be anyways.

There will be many more ships and bases to pirate! The fighter is ready and I will be heading out to take on some of the local bases in the next episode
