Space Engineers - Space Survival - Ep20 - Hangar Time!! Time-lapse' inbound!

Hi Everyone,
Welcome to the twentieth episode of this semi-hardcore survival series, in this episode I drill out the hangar, place all of the blocks down and make a good effort to having it completed about half way! Though we are limited by Iron, so a short mining trip is in order.
Thanks for watching! and if you liked this episode be sure to drop me a like and consider subscribing for Episode 21!!

I actually never throw out hte stone. since you can get iron from it, you don't have to worry about running out.

[@havokchaos6882]

Honestly my bud, you have the most exquisite and enjoyable time lapses outta any youber that I've ever had the privilege of visiting, thanks bud. Sounds like they're a pain for you, but that only shows your dedication on giving a.f. thanx

[@nicolaspokolas]

Needs to be sped up imo

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Thanks bro, really appreciate it!! 😊👌 They are actually quite enjoyable to make, but only when my hardware and microsoft are not giving me grief 😅😂

[@mr_rage_94]

I think your an absalout legend for the time you put into making this content honestly the way you build its like your building a stucture for some new game

[@chrisevans7368]

I'm going to comment on every video I see to help boost the algorithm for this guy he freaking deserves it

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Thanks so much man I appreciate it! 😎✌️

[@Speeder_2000]

You are proably the best SE youtuber I have found that just kind of plays the vanilla game. This is just my opinion though.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Wow! thanks so much mate, really appreciate it! 😎👌

[@robertlaw7165]

Definitely enjoying the time lapses

[@Khumry]

I think it would be cool if he did a collab witth splities & capac..

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah it would be awesome actually! Especially given the fact they are Aussie like me 😎✌️

[@nickbrennan3925]

Could have moved the Prometheus in, fitted an articulated piston drill head to it and plunge mined instead. Processing the resources as you went to create the needed resources!

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Certainly is an option! 😎👌

[@ugib8377]

Nice video man. That first time lapse song was awesome! The hangar is going to be amazing once you get it finished, so much space! On the subject of "Extra work" to strive for perfection, I'll quote another SE youtuber who often says "Enjoy the journey." There is a point where each play through plateaus, and rushing towards that point is senseless. I just finished your "how to Large Grid Ship" 6 part series, and wow. I've now got a carrier in the pipeline that is awesome. Your content is amazing, and the way you laid that build out gave me what I needed to start cranking out larger scale large grid builds, where I was clueless before. So thanks for all the time and work you put into these videos. It is appreciated!

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Thanks so much mate, I really appreciate the kind words. 😃 Honestly I love reading comments like this and knowing that my video's have made a difference!! 😎✌️

[@iRageGGB]

For the rear thrusters, instead of disabling them every time. You can get up to speed, disable dampers with Z and your ship will keep moving at that velocity without burning fuel. Enable dampers, and you'll automatically slow down (because rear thrusters are firing), this helps just in case you forget to actually turn on your backwards thrusters, and reduces the chance of smashing into an asteroid or anything.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah the only reason I disable the front thrusters and keep the rest on is so that I can maintain some type of steering, so if I want to change direction and go to another episode I don't loose heaps of speed or have to hold the forward thrusters on 😎👌

[@albertkustra]

I finished building a utility called the Treasure Goblin after watching you mine so much

[@Rome_pizza]

Bro this was on my fyp and i just checked it out and i almost fell asleep from the timelapse music untill your manly voice woke me up

[@Rome_pizza]

Ima hit the hay because it's like 2am and I haven't slept in 2 maybe 3 days night

[@TheGarageGamer86]

There have been many times I have fallen asleep editing these videos, waking up at 3am in front of the computer 😂😅😂

[@MightyAssa]

Two 4090's and your flat is warm again and an oven in summer ;) I recommend thermal pants in winter, helped me some months ago.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah I want to get a 7900XTX at some point, but priorities have shifted this year so it will probably be next year at least before I pull the trigger on one haha. And yeah I am definitely thinking about thermals!

[@kelben07]

I love your methodical approch to building and your structures always look awesome at the end as a result. Your time lapses are amazingly well done and your always amazing to watch. I do the same when i build in SE. Your ship designs are ones i tend to revert to in every gane i play as they are slim and very efficient. So thanks for entertainibg me everytime

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Wow!! Thanks so much dude, I really appreciate this comment 😃. I'm really glad you are enjoying the series and are finding the ships useful, I spent a fair bit of time on them to make them as good as I possibly could. I would like to revisit them again though and include some of the new blocks 😎

[@macgyverfpv8230]

You have the best content!!! I can't wait for every episode!!!!!

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Thanks so much for the kind words mate 😎✌️

[@andybrown4284]

I opt for the lazy mode way of doing excavations to neatly fit an in terrain base by using the drill&fill mod which will remove a designated area, usually to neaten up something that's been drilled in a more vanilla way. Also can work alongside the build&repair mod to work on a projected starter bunker while I go off exploring the local area for mining spots and POIs

[@muhammadhuzaifah2107]

Using nano drill mod he can do it easily all of that.

[@nes819]

I recomend you getting modded welders. They are such an amazing quality of life add on. The aditional reach alowes to build large structures like your hangar in no time. Also. Qhen leftklick mining the large gridd drill excavates a hole with about 2 blocks with (or 5m). This alowes to use a drillwhall on a stick (pistons) for a almost perfect shaped excavation with low effort and acceptable timeconsume (at about 0.4mps the quality per time spent seams as good as it getts).

[@TheGarageGamer86]

I was honestly so close to downloading this mod in Episode 21, it crossed my mind several times, especially when trying to get the blocks behind other blocks 🤔

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

Could use the projector and welder ship to place blocks as well, by the way. Not sure if its faster, but it would be super easy to just cut away one section, blueprint it, then use the same blueprint to weld it back into place [with a merge block of course, but then move the projection to the end and use the welding ship some more. Or use the one ring to project another ring, then double that, then double that, and so forth until the whole thing is done with its own blueprint without even moving it, and then weld the ends back together.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

I was waiting for this comment 😎👌, and I didn't even think of it as an option until I was editing that section of the video!! Although it is time consuming to add the blocks by hand though at least I don't have to worry about the welders being in the way of placing the blocks down. I'm not sure if you noticed but it is hard to keep the ship parallel and level with the blocks and the welders were often dragging against the ground 🤔

[@adambrown7500]

First of all, I enjoy your videos, but....builds overcomplex drilling guide projection...manually places all the hanger blocks...definitely should've at least made one row the size of the hanger and then just keep pushing the projection forward lol 😁

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah it might works better that way, but adjusting the projection every time is a bit of a pain, for digging out the hanger you only really use them once so it is a bit of a time sink, but for later hallways and such it will be OK because I will use them over and over which kinda makes it worth it. I did think about just projecting the blocks on the floor to weld them up but the weld ship is very hard to keep level so I just find it easier to place them down before welding them up 😎

[@rilliencot1688]

I just wanna see you build what you're excited about. If the drones aren't exciting to you, I say forget 'em. That said, I do think fighter drones would be really cool, especially considering the new AI update/overhaul.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Thanks mate 😎👌. I do agree though, it would be cool, and I've never done stuff like that before so it would be a little fun to make some drones 😉

[@MorbinNecrim86]

Your miners are fantastic to use, ion and atmo. Highly recommend.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Thanks mate 😎✌️

[@arandomduck6295]

Wow it is shocking that you don't have more subs. you have some of the best space engineers content I have seen so far! keep up the great work, it will pay off!

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Thanks mate!! To be honest the platform has been treating me well as of late 😃 and I have gained quite a few subs, really appreciate the kind words mate! 😎✌️

[@FlipsJk]

I think that is how the dinosaurs got wiped out.. 27:21 Also, nice content man been watching this series, it is pretty good

[@Mr402TA]

I always have better luck getting rid of those floating voxals by getting under them and aiming at their shadow instead of them. Can't explain it but it seems to work for me.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Thanks mate, I'll have to remember this for next time 😎👌

[@MorbinNecrim86]

The method for excavation is great, though i found it took abit of practice to stay in a straight line. Enjoyed the timelapses, especially the 2nd because thats my fave piece of music you use, and its satisfying watching voxels melt away.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah it does take a little to get used to, especially when you are on a planet and the gravity is high LOL but I have had way more practice than I care to admit LOL.

[@Andrew.W712]

I just caught up to this series, I enjoy it. I suggest you set the Assault Cannon's to aim for power, because that is usually centre mass on most ships, those quads are really inaccurate and currently are aimed at outlier weapon systems, and keep the gatlings on weapons. For the drilling why not just set up a bunch of pistons and drills and do straight lines that way? Are they much more rocky? With the amount of resources you're dealing with, when you add the Reavers or whoever, it might be worth checking out Izzy's Inventory Manager to automate stuff for you. Other streamers seem to find it useful. Re: Your Drone attack fleet. Splitsie has a great little tutorial on the new drone system if you want to watch it. I will throw you the exact link to the video if you want. My personal opinions from my binge of this playlist is maybe turn down your game just a little, because your intro and any guns make me ride the youtube volume to balance your voice, and usually will go over you talking. Your timelapse volume choice is perfect though, I really enjoy the type of music you use, it gives off that SE vibe. Otherwise I really enjoy your work! Looks nice!

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Just wait until you see the weapons I have in the latest episode lol. But yeah I need to play around with the targeting a little bit 😎👌. Yeah honestly building something like the drilling setup would only really be worth it if I was making a very long tunnel, sometimes you spend more time building a thing to build another thing that it's just quicker to do it by hand, and then you have to dismantle it as well lol. Inventory manager script is also on my to-do list as well 😉. Yeah it's weird the sound in this game, weapons and large grid ships are SOOO loud in this game and I have a mod by Splitsie to reduce the noise of welders and weather, I might ask him if he can add those things in. It also doesnt help when sometimes my voice is loud and sometimes it is not because I'm tired or something 😅😂. Nevertheless I am glad you enjoy the content mate!! 😎👌

[@marksadler4457]

I realize I'm late to this series - binge watching to get caught up. But, I give myself permission to use voxel hands to erase those troublesome little bits of voxel after drilling.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah I won't lie, I have done that a bit in the past, especially when I cannot get a ship near where I need to remove the voxels from. 😉✌️

[@Khumry]

when you drill don't hold the mouse button to long. if you just let the drill hit the stone like twice you will get one big lump instead of mutipul little stones.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Really? Haha I never knew that! 😅 I try to avoid hand mining as much as possible lol.

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

To clarify, what I mean by 'the projector approach' is to use nanite drills, and nanite welders.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Oh yeah the old Build and repair, it's a good mod for building stuff quickly, but I find it gets you to the end game too fast I like engineering my way out of these type of thing's, but not everyone enjoys that style 😎✌️

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

@@TheGarageGamer86 Just ME I suppose... And people who like to make gigantic projects like HavocLP who is one of my all time fave S.E. streamers [mainly because he keeps screwing up and getting himself killed in the most hilarious ways, but that is beside the point]... So much for getting to the end of the game too fast, this current season is 156 episodes long and still going strong. He has built a massive moon base [after leaving a massive planetside base] made over a dozen ships, captured another dozen, and seeking to conquer the entire solar system I suspect. He is perfecting a monstrous heavy carrier he began in another season, and is populating it with a hoard of heavy fighter drones and some heavy landing rover drones, so the future is looking quite epic. On top of all of that, he gets attacked by orcs in almost every episode, so there is always some good heated combat action on hand to keep the building from being boring. Its all how you play the game.

[@7T_Primal_Wolf]

If the mod still works "Nanobot Drill and Fill System" can help drill large straight sections, then you can just do the fine-tuning of the angles, the original Modder is Dummy08, if i'm not mistaking .

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah not gonna lie, it is super tempting to download that mod hey 😅

[@7T_Primal_Wolf]

@@TheGarageGamer86 Yeah, I'm not gonna lie it's temptin' but I was thinkin' of usin' it more for construction like Kanajashi did, I believe it was season 2. But I've also heard or seen that drill and fill might actually be broken, I don't know though, can't test it out yet, I haven't got my new video card & power supply in my tower yet

[@muhammadhuzaifah2107]

Please use it. Can't wait to see you advance in the game.

[@HeilTec]

When the block names get too long they get truncated with '...' messing up search. Just remove 'Industrial ' from the thruster names. That will make it easier.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Really? That is so bizarre!! But thank you for letting me know 😎👌

[@TIYX]

Just and refine the stone. You are wasting so much iron, nickel and silicon when you toss the stone. It makes sense to do so when on planet and you need to drill down many meters to get to a deposit. But when building big you want all the stone you can get.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah the only problem is the time it takes to fly back to cargo and dump it into the refineries, to drill out spaces this size with that little miner would take like 40 trips 😅. From a time perspective it just makes more sense to mine those ore's directly. You can setup drills and pistons to do it, but again that takes a lot of time as well 🤔

[@mattparker9726]

14:15 at least you don't have holes in the floor.

Whenever i have long segments to weld up ill line up square and turn off dampening to allow myself to coast along and not was extra power/keystrokes

**me looking at the thermometer** hm 30 °C is not particular cold 🥵 Ok must be somewhere south of the Equator to have cold weather I normally associate with winter!

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah 30℃ is what we are used to in Australia for the most part, so when its gets below 15℃ we view that as cold 😅😅. We usually have a heat wave of 40+ for a week in summer.

[@popaskull]

For the air drones the ai blocks pretty much do everything for you

[@scooterjes]

I don't know how dead set against mods you are but one mod(there are several that do the same thing) is a atmospheric shield mod so you can have you hangar bays pressurized and still allow the ships in without airlocks.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Hmmmmm, I might have to look into that! I am also considering installing a hangar door mod, because the stock doors are quite limited to be honest! 😎👌

[@redakroma1]

Yes, hurling Large Rocks at Earth, God?, or Space Engineers?

[@alfreddumas4611]

I love the content so far....I question why you dont just turn off your dampners rather than play with disabling thrusters on your ships?

You retain steering etc. Flies like a plane.

Could be your power unit in the pc on it's way out ?. or your graphic card on it's way out or could need re-sitting in your mother bord take it out put it back in.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Nah it's just the drivers unfortunately, the Vega 64 is what I started this channel on and it was working fine at 1440P for years, but I had left the drivers at a really old version from 2019. But when I put it into the new computer, I had to install a later version and that's when the problems started. It used to be super stable in Space Engineers right up until the point I moved it and in the event viewer it says the driver crashed. On top of that Microsoft keeps automatically updating the driver, but you need Pro to permanently disable that through a group policy hack. Which is what I had to do with my main rig that has the 6800XT because it was happening every few days and would take me an hour to un-install new drivers and then install the old ones again. Lucky I work in IT, otherwise I'd just buy NVIDIA cards......
