Why not just make the entrance to the hanger taller instead of the entire thing? Maybe you can use that extra space at the front of the hanger for your vents and oxygen tanks.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

That is actually a reeeeaaaaallllllly good idea!!! I will have to keep a note of this for later 😎, thanks heaps for the suggestion!! 😉

[@MightyAssa]

It might be quite a lot of affort but you could build a ammo transporting drone for each defense tower. As soon the cargo has less then 50% ammo it should start the drone transporting new ammo from the base. Just an idea 🤷‍♀

[@TheGarageGamer86]

It would be a fair bit of effort off camera, but darn it would be cool to see 😎👌

[@scooterjes]

What I have made in the past is a quick and dirty large grid weld ship just take 1 or 2 large cargo containers attach enough ion thrusters to move it around it will be super ugly but effective.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah I am thinking I need to build something large grid for sure! Although me being me I would no doubt go all out when I totally don't need to 😅😅

[@AcuteP4nda]

Mad respect to you mate, life is hard when youve got a million things going on, appreciate you keeping the quality and consistency of video uploads even when your personal life gets you down. Your work is content i consume and enjoy and i wish you the utmost best in your personal life man.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Thank you so much man!! 😎✌, I really appreciate it!! I love seeing comments like this, and I am really glad you enjoy the content I put out! Must admit though the last few weeks I haven't exactly been on top of the KZbin thing, as you say, sometimes life doe's get in the way 😅. That being said I would always prefer to put out quality over quantity, at least as much as I am able to 😁.

[@AcuteP4nda]

So far so good mate, catching up on this series again while I've got a minute at work, HELL OF A GRAFT ON THE BASE BROTHER! Hope life's caught up a bit with you, sending you my best as always TGG 🙏

[@aussiemedic3842]

great vid mate really do love wtching how you go about the design proccess

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Thanks mate, I really appreciate it! 😎👌

[@SKRuB00]

I waited 3 episodes for that gun platform to Unleash HELL. FRUSTRATED!!!!!

[@TheGarageGamer86]

I really gotta get that ship out of the way of the guns, I think I might fly it back to my old base and just leave it there since I don't really need it anymore! 😅

[@randogame4438]

I think you spent more time trying to figure out how you wanted to build those defense platforms than it would've taken to just use the small welding ship :)

[@fredpryde8555]

t reckon build a special docking station for the prometheus and make it like a service bay power ammo etc but great episode

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Eventually I will be building one, but I dare say it is going to be a fair few episodes away 😊

[@stefanknauer7180]

I would actually just make the hangar at least in the front 1 block higher. 5 blocks is a really impractical number in this game 😅 I wouldn't make the hangar airtight though, I think it's too big for that. I would simply use those gates for protection.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

The temptation to drill the entire thing out an additional block is actually very high if I am being completely honest 😅😆

[@Misimpa]

Just make entrance taller, not whole hangar

[@xtra-medium]

Does the giant hangar door not just stop whenever it hits another block on the same grid (just like the normal hangar door)???

[@TheGarageGamer86]

I dare say that it probably would, but I am not sure if in that state it would be air tight, to be honest I have never really tested that? 🤔

[@johnfrancisterne1072]

If you're going to make a defense platform inside the platform, connect it to the main conveyor system to keep the platforms loaded

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Eventually this will be the plan, but for now I just want to get them up and running with a little ammo to spare 😎👍

[@OKonradO1]

Maybe make a Pen for the Prometheus? Like IRL armys have for submarines. Drilling a long corridor for it in the asteroid

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Eventually the plan is to have a pen for that ship and then another on either side of the asteroid, but I dare say it will take a while to get to that point. I am tempted to fly the prometheus to my other base for storage as it is blocking the weapons and then also getting damaged a lot 😅

[@OKonradO1]

@@TheGarageGamer86 u could setup a drill system - pistons, rotors etc, so thatt would basically drill intself + u could add some welders and a projector, so the walls would instantly be welded up. U sit back and havea cold one :-D

[@brentbarr498]

Enjoy your holiday! :)

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Thanks mate! Yeah it was really good to be honest 😁👌. Just chillaxing!

[@Jayden-hx4mq]

How do you get around your PCU

[@TheGarageGamer86]

I just disable the PCU limits in the world settings, since my PC is reasonably good it can handle it quite well, depending on how far I go of coarse though 🤣

[@stacyjoslin7372]

I tried using those Rebel Gates (if that's what they are) and had an issue. When the gates are open, the "colloision" stays in the closed position...so you can't fly thru them when their open. Bit frustratiing considering how many resources they require. They look awesome, but...

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Ohhh noo, really? That sucks 😔

[@tallgeese01]

make a small large grid wielder

[@TheGarageGamer86]

I am tempted to do so to be honest 😎👌

[@planetbob4709]

I really love your ships but they are to PCU heavy for Official keen servers. Have you ever played on the keen servers? I would love to see you build a "mothership" to use on an official keen server. Players are limited to 20,000 pcu on these servers. Think you can do a mother ship for around 10,000 pcu? So some basic stats to go from. 1. Ion thrusters. 2. At least 1 large cargo and 1 large hydro. 3. Will never land on planets. 4. Hanger not required. 5. Must have ore processing ability 6. livable interior not required beyond a bridge with access to medical and storage.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah a lot of my ships are quite PCU Heavy, but mainly because I play in single player worlds where PCU doesn't really matter. I have to admit I really enjoy making ships that look as cool as they are functional, if I was building for an official keen server then I would probably not make them look good and only focus on making them efficient in terms of PCU. That's kinda why I don't build for official keen servers as I care a lot about making something look as good as it is functional, even though that may be irrational 😅.

[@ceberoushayes3827]

U could make missiles

[@critter4ya]

Could you please link the weapons?

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Sure mate, you can find them here 😎👌 - steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2773999189

[@dormentbigfoot5412]

I'd just build a massive ugly printer ship, doesn't have to be huge, just enough room to have storage and a connecter to transfer materials. It'd take some time to build but unlike the printer wall it's reusable

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah I really need to get around to building something like this! 😅🤔

[@TXPhoenix79]

Build and Repair is basically cheating for building. I would say to only use it for a repair depot where you fly your ship in a 'repair garage' and BaR fixes it.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

I completely agree!! Whenever I use BaR, as you put it, is exactly for that reason..... repair only. But I do really like your idea of a repair bay!! That would be really nice 😎👌

[@TXPhoenix79]

@@TheGarageGamer86 you could use the new event controller to setup specific bays for each craft and have it to where, say a merge block, is connected, a projector with that craft is preloaded is turned on, turns on BaR, and when the merge block is disconnected, the projector and BaR is deactivated.

[@ceberoushayes3827]

There are build robots

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah I have seen those, they look really cool!!

[@ceberoushayes3827]

@@TheGarageGamer86 if u had those ur base could b built all u have 2 do is place the grid and ur bots will build it

Yeah I believe there is a script for that, I have been meaning to download it but I keep forgetting 🤣😅

[@ws_stelzi79]

regarding not using Build and Repair: For me the main entertainment of SE is the designing functional contraptions! When you "just" have a blueprint you have to plop down and timelapse through the manual building it, it gets rather meaningless - for me. For me the interesting thing is WHAT you can build and not HOW you do you build the thing. I could imagine people like SE for the sereness of just building thing to build the things but as a content creator that might get very tedious and the main content is one building timelapse after another just "disturbed" by mentioning what you now plop down and that the next timelapse now starts. That must get boring as content creator I imagine. Just be brave and enable Build and Repair!

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah I must admit it does get kinda boring, but at the same time it does kind of highlight what you can achieve without using mods like that if you are willing to put in the time and effort. I guess in some senses it would help things flow a lot faster and the series progress faster, but at the same time you kind of reach the end game far too quickly and build everything you wanted to in a fraction of the time and find yourself with nothing left to do. Even before I started the whole content creation journey I was thinking about this type of stuff. I do kinda use Build and Repair for repair purposes mainly as that is one thing that nobody really want's to see, and it does get annoying constantly repairing damage the Reavers do to your base aaaaand then at the same time I think is it worth having the Reavers destroying your stuff if it gets auto repaired and you don't have to manage your time effectively? Probably the best part about this game, so many ways to play it 😎👌

[@randallvolk8437]

A large grid weld ship would be good idea. Even if you won’t use it that much this series at least you would have one. What you rather do, “ Have something and not need it, or Need something and not have it!”

[@TheGarageGamer86]

I'm honestly thinking I need one! 😁

[@michaelgooding3750]

You need to mount a drill array on the Prometheus and bore you a hidey hole for it. Keep it close to the original hangar and have a catwalk walkway connecting them

[@EBeenU]

Love your content! "S-Hangar Door" is a mod i use that could solve your hangar door problems.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Thanks mate, I am glad you're enjoying the content 😎👌. I will check this mod out! Looks like it is a little old, but it might be fit for what I need it to do 🤔😁

[@gordonmccalister1892]

LOL you wine too much, and over think it a lot. Just do it and have fun.

[@nes819]

I recomend a welder modd. Use 4 times the material and building effort to create a 4 times further reaching welder. As long as you don't install them as tactical welders, they are pure quality of life. They just alow you to print large gridds like you print smal ones right now. Wich in my personl opinnion should be a base game feature. Again, they are onely as cheaty as the player who uses them. Have a good one.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah I must admit I am really tempted to try some welders with a greater range, I think the vanilla one's are quite good for doing walls, floors and roofs but for printing more complex things like those turret installations it will make life a lot easier for sure!

[@jmcorp8021]

that med room sticking out in front of the hangar door is making my crazy twitch. you could have put it in front of the elbow instead of beside it and it wouldn't have blocked the door. 😢

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah hopefully it is not there for very long..... but we will see how it goe's 😅😆

[@taintedways9990]

Hello, I'm rather new to modding SE and would like to ask what the name of those modded hanger gates is? Would help out with some of the ships I have that's a bit to large.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

That would be these one's here 😎👌 - steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2806919267

[@patrikhjorth3291]

Too many guns? Bah! There is no such thing as "too much firepower", and no kill like overkill!

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Completely agree haha 😁

[@goosegamez8850]

instead of build and repair a common mod i use is 'ba sing se twin tools' it doubles the range of the block tools and all use the large cargo ports

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Whoa, those tools look interesting! Thanks for sharing mate 😎👌

[@kelben07]

Mumdane things makes room for fun thinkgs when they are done 😂

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Couldn't agree more! 😎👌

[@AmaiaCrystal]

I would love to see you build a portable printer, honestly not even sure what you mean by a "printer" so would be cool to see you make one and use it

[@AcuteP4nda]

In Space engineers you can connect cargo, welders and projectors and then use timer blocks to set them up to print blue prints

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Essentially a printer is like a 3d printer, so you have a bunch of welders fixed to piston or something and it moves back and kind of "prints" a blueprint that you create in either survival or creative mode. A portable version of that would kind of be something like the Prometheus but the whole front of the ship is just a big bunch of welders 😎👌

[@critter4ya]

Can a ship as big as the atlas hauler be built on an earth like planet instead of in space?

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Most definitely, see this video here (Where I print that ship on the planet Pertam 😎👍) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6DZd2yGq9psg5o

@@TheGarageGamer86 Thabks got her built already. Love it and the other ships I borrowed😀

[@Jayden-hx4mq]

Sorry how do you get unlimited PCU?

[@HairyHillman]

If you are the host for your world (ie you are either playing on your own pc or you are the host for a private server) you can change the pcu limit 8n the world settings. Remember the more things that get added to a world, the more unstable it gets

[@Jayden-hx4mq]

Ok thanks

[@mihaipuscasu7357]

Use decoys behind heavy armor and welders. Draw some fire away from the shooty bits as well as the squishy things

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Truuuuuuue, that is a really good idea. I got caught up in the defense that I totally forgot about Decoy's 😅

[@HairyHillman]

You should burry the gravity generator in the roof of the hanger, where it is now it might get clipped by a ship when you are parking

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah eventually the plan is to have them hidden behind walls and floors etc, this one is just a temp kind of a setup 😎
