“bro wake up the garage gamer posted!!!”

[@nokuseowv6733]

That's cool.

[@Darkstar48507]

wooh, yeah, miner is available. so excited, new base is gonna look sweet as well

[@galencole2108]

your the only space engineer series I like, thought I'd let you know. Don't even play the game, keep it up man, start a galactic war after you make your base

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Thanks mate, I really appreciate that!! 😎✌️

[@WilliamDevoogd-ch8rw]

Watched and Liked 👍

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Thanks mate 😎👌

[@Sworn973]

Damm, I don't know how you keep up with the design, making it look decent and hand weld all that, I start doing it, 2 minute later I have my brick flying, attaching to some other random brick as a base hhahaha

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Not gonna lie, sometimes it is hard to come up with a design that looks good, in my eyes at least, but I literally just try a whole bunch of different blocks until I get a shape I'm kinda happy with. But after years of experience in this game I do have some go to design philosophy that makes most thing look quite good 😎✌️

[@Xero1of1]

Instead of manually welding blocks that were missed, just fly the ship past some active welders. So long as you're in the cockpit, I don't think they can damage you. It's a lot easier than trying to figure out which ones are missing. You just have to make sure there's a projector on the ship with the correct blueprint locked in place.

[@maleficentia8390]

Also could have extended the welders out changed the orientation so it printed sideways & possibly top to bottom. Less movement range needed for the welders and less chance to miss blocks welding up due to bigger blocks needing to be welder and pushing those smaller blocks out of welder range.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

🤦‍♂️ Now why didnt I think of this!! LOL Thanks man, I'll try to remember this for next time 😊

[@thealicemonster9217]

Fun video, I can't wait for the next one 😊

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Thank you!! 😎👌

[@ugib8377]

I find with piston welder setups like that, setting an on off switch for the piston is handy. The second you see sparks welding, just hit the off button and wait for them to stop. Then switch it on until the next sparks, rinse, repeat. It obviously takes longer than just running the piston straight through, but you miss fewer blocks. All caught up with the series now. Subbed up, and excited for the next installment! You're a great builder, and a bit of a perfectionist. That's not a bad thing though. I'm learning a lot by just watching all the intricate armor work on your ships, and your concepts for the architecture. Great content my friend!

[@TheGarageGamer86]

You know it's funny I never even thought about that LOL, usually I just set the speed reeeeeaaaalllly low and it's alright 😅. I think some of these blocks that were missed were attached a few blocks towards the front and by the time those were welded up the welders were out of range. Thanks for the suggestion though mate I will use this in the future! 😎✌️

[@haimmynz1903]

With build menu you can actually type a number in by pressing enter so I normally set mine to 0.01. Seems to work 95% of the time. But also depends on the blueprint cause some design aren't too printer friendly based one what blocks are attached to what

[@7T_Primal_Wolf]

I get what you're trying to do with the structures you're trying to make it look like it's been built into the asteroid on the outside so you've carved the inside out and built your base so the outside of the asteroid looks like part of the base and if you Can color the base that you're building to match the asteroid itself that would be even cooler maybe with a black trim job but that's my opinion and you are the Maker, by the way I love your mods that I've seen for this game

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Exactly!!! And thanks mate, I'm glad you like them!! 😎✌️

[@chrisevans7368]

Loving how the base is turning out

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Thanks mate 😎👌

[@Rex32r3]

You should make you ship airtight

[@wannabemindful]

🔥🔥🔥

[@Speeder_2000]

am first, yay. also I love this series! and I hope you feel better

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Thanks mate! 😎✌️

[@marksadler4457]

There is a mod for "Survival Mirror" build (it can be a bit glitchy at times) I am pasting the workshop link in a reply to this but KZbin may clear it.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Really? I will have to check that mod out, it would be handy for sure, but it does feel a little bit like cheating haha 🤔

[@brokenhalosc0810]

Greetings small drills drill a 5x5 hole meaning you can have up to a 2 block gap to left and right and a 3 block gap up and down for each drill

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Thanks for the info, that's very handy to know! 😎

[@RailithicEmporthus]

Still waiting on an astroid ship 🤣 haven't tried it yet but I could imagine that would be really sweet! Especially if there was a way to put ships into orbit 🤣

[@sgtjohnson49]

Don't think that's possible because the games code reads anything on an asteroid or planet as a "base" and then any grid that's not attached to either an asteroid or planet as a separate grid (vehicle)

[@RailithicEmporthus]

@@sgtjohnson49 That's fair, I just didn't know if it would be possible to convert an astroid from a station or something like that. There's probably a mod but I just haven't looked into it, about to start my first playthrough in like 3-4 years

[@sgtjohnson49]

@@RailithicEmporthus I'd hope there's a mod for that, it's a great idea. Haven't played myself in several years so not sure how much stuff has changed

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah all voxels in the game are static I'm afraid 😔. Would be cool to slap some thrusters on an asteroid and use them as kinetic weapons like they did in the Expanse 😎👌

[@Uzzgub]

A Interaction for the Interaction God, a Comment for the Comment Throne, for the Almighty Algorithm

[@Matthew-ck2ue]

If you hold and drag the block it will continue on without having to click for every block

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Seriously? LOL How did I not know this after 2.2K hours lol.

[@caplet6396]

i'm jealous, recently started playing space engineers and i'm proud of myself for making a large ship and a base on an asteroid, but you have all this stuff that i have no idea how to replicate. my next project is a space station situated a little further from the planet but the resources it requires are staggering. are automatic miners something i need or can i do without?

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Hehehe, thanks mate 😎👌. I mean for me I usually just use a little mining ship like the one in this episode and then couple it with my Atlas transport ship and fly to an asteroid. Then i just make like 10 mining trips to the asteroid for something like Iron and get like 1 million units loaded into the Atlas and head back to base. It only really takes about half an hour. Here's a link to the ships if you wanna check them out 😉 Atlas Heavy Transport - steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2459464912 Atom 5 Mining Ship - steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2595072366

[@50bag98]

can you build a cargo drone that when at main base follows you around with resources to upgrade main saving you from going back and forwards just to get coms? sorry im learning before i actually play lol

[@hexodm2356]

I think u need to write a script for the drone

[@TheGarageGamer86]

I think that is possible now with the Automatons update, though I have not quite looked into it yet 🤔

[@OKonradO1]

You could call the "tower" a "bridge" :-)

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Ahhh yes, that's probably the most apt description! Thanks 😎✌️

[@robthisandharrythat]

I enjoy your videos and have learned a lot from them. I'm curious as to why you're using MES when you don't have an MES addon mod listed?

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Thanks mate!! 😎✌️. Oh eventually I plan to add in some MES mods 😊

[@EricHonaker]

What made you choose to use an asteroid base rather than a space station? Is it just aesthetics, or is it a meaningful difference in-game?

[@TheGarageGamer86]

More protection from enemies, and I was inspired by one of the episodes from Enterprise, the Star Trek series where the Tholians have the ship they found from the future in there, I can't remember what the ship was called though 🤔

[@Khumry]

i'm just wondering why have two the same ship when you can just change the welder to a grinder when needed.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

I often have done that with this ship in my last series - steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2140520466

[@purewater782]

Avalanche has been demoted to space flashlight

[@TheGarageGamer86]

😂😂

[@steffenziegler6283]

Whats cooler? When the Hangar locks like a Crashed ship 😁

[@christofhinkelman8834]

Should look into build and repair or star trekk mod back got some good npc and weps makes game play hard I did KZbin on the server and made some videos on it its crazy hard

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah I tend to avoid the build and repair mod as I find it just a little too easy to use 😅

[@Razielzian]

Ermm kinda wondering why you welded that stuff up by hand when you had 3 functional welders right there...

[@TheGarageGamer86]

That is a very good question!! 🤣

[@driftkingtate]

are you gunna do a blueprint on workshop for that round ship?

[@hexodm2356]

If u mean his Mothership its called " EF-382 "Prometheus" search up from workshop

[@driftkingtate]

@@hexodm2356 thanks

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah I'm gonna do a video for that ship as I get asked this question a lot!

[@driftkingtate]

Awesome. Great series by the way

[@7T_Primal_Wolf]

do you have any ideas for a small to medium sized 360° mining ship?

[@TheGarageGamer86]

360° Mining Ship?

[@7T_Primal_Wolf]

@@TheGarageGamer86 it can drill or mine in all directions no need to worry about backing up

[@critter4ya]

Please add ion welder to workshop

[@critter4ya]

Would it help if I said pretty please?

[@dustinhensley2375]

Ion welder link please. Broken/missing in description.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah hopefully I can get around to doing this soon 😎👌

[@soylent_brown4456]

"I know it's not practical, I know I spend a lot of time on making things look good." If you're going to be living somewhere you want it to look decent. If anyone says that you're wrong for making a base look nice in this game then what's the point in playing past the point of not risking dying every few seconds?

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Amen to that my friend!! 😎✌️
