Space Engineers, Speakers, Skybox, and Your Workshop Ships! (Update 01.060)

[@Cen2050]

It's great to hear you are as excited about Space Engineers as I am, I've only recently discovered your channel, but have become a big fan of your Industrial Thrusters and Joint Survival Series, cant wait for season 3! To that end, I'm a writer, with decent ship building skills in the game, and would love to have a part in one of your upcoming story arcs!

[@TTOMATOZAPHIMM]

Its amazing what the developers have done in a year

[@SairenGamingisfun]

Really excited for exploration! great video Sage, kee up the good work :D

[@Drives31forhalo]

OH THAT PORTAL FEELING AT THE END!

[@DerpyPenguin4747]

Now I can't UNSEE THE BOX!!!!

[@gemberkoekje]

You can fix the range thing by just using a timer block to restart it after x seconds, and combine that with a smaller loop time.

[@AlexDerBar]

You think you can mod the sound block and put any (cool sounds) in the game like "hull damage" "incoming enemy missile" "every body to their stations" "this is not a simulation" and cool stuff like that? Love your vids (and your voice is hilarious) ;)

[@lagunaloire2710]

I'd love to find a Sage Station on my exploration travels

[@jczerzzz]

Sage, make a Microphone mod for the speakers so that you can use a real live microphone as the sound input

[@oleksandrrybka8806]

any chance that you will make a close look at new star citizen ship (Anvil Gladiator)?

[@VideoSage]

Probably, been a bit under the weather, but I plan to.

[@oleksandrrybka8806]

Video Sage cool thanks

[@janlouisepeterson8755]

i wonder what ships sage will be offering up.

[@AlphaModder3]

Portal 2 music in the end? Are you a fan of portal sage?

[@Squidgit957]

Can't wait for the exploration update but I guess I will need a better computer to run space engineers now

[@Void-mc8ck]

What about a self destruct sound or a sound to evacuation the ship

[@Makron5]

No sound in space response: Radio Signal broadcasting to a suit's virtual sound system.

[@vukpsodorov5446]

or that it's a fucking game and it's fun to actually hear things? ever thought about that?

[@painy6588]

vuk psodorov he just helps idiots to find their peace with the game, I don't think he's on of them

[@NaviR64]

I wish I could send one of my ships but my p.c is down :( Also sage your the best man

[@BasilHorizon]

Oh, they added performance frienly only... Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...! :D

[@LoLCalmSnow]

Damnit I didn't notice the deadline and I just finished a cool vanilla cargo outpost ;(

[@VallornDeathblade]

That last piece of music in the credits is from Portal 2 isn't it? I don't quite remember what it's called though...

[@mattpelzek3809]

Sounds like something from the old aperture themeset.

[@perishfool1414]

It IS an part from the Portal 2 Soundtrack and I can't exact name of the song (Because there is a LOT of songs.) but it is Portal 2. Also WHY would you ask if its P2 Soundtrack? It says it in the description.

[@VallornDeathblade]

Santa Bradley Just a way of phrasing it sorry. Argh damnit I used to know that but I've lost my portal 2 album somewhere.

[@Zappygunshot]

If a sound block is triggered and there is nobody around to hear it, does it make a sound? Apparently the answer is 'no'.

[@edearth89]

AMMUnation? we getting guns in GTA? lol should we expect some sage works showing up?

[@battlebee7111]

What is the point of using a hollow box rather than a hollow sphere to make a skybox? Wouldn't a sphere make seeing the (non-existent) edges harder?

[@anon456938]

Not 100% sure but I think it was something with spheres distorting textures at the up and down poles.

[@MadSpectro7]

I assume it's either an engine limitation, or even a hardware limitation. It's pretty hard to make spheres in-game, since computer graphics use Cartesian coordinates for everything. Once game make use of quantum computations, however, who knows.

[@anon456938]

One reason is that a cube has six sides = 8 vertices (corner dots) while a smooth sphere has hundreds. A spehere would be more useful for animated clouds or such, but as the sky in SE is static and a cube takes less computational power, it is the better choice. That's my hypothesis, at least. Not a dev so don't take this as 'absolute truth' (:

[@derrmann328]

Sage fangirling? :o

[@Pigeoncraft]

Looks like the sound wasn't captured. :/

[@ThatZommy]

It was, just really quiet.

[@thrustybagladeur8984]

Sage just has his game volume very low. Because the constant beeping whenever you click on something is mega annoying. XD I too had to listen a couple times for some things to hear it. :)

[@delayed_control]

Is that Portal music at the end?

[@MrPlaneCrashers]

Yes, it is being said in the description.

[@AnimoBros2000]

Oh damn!

[@daylenraines6351]

Will you ever do a face reviel

[@SuperMusicfreak93]

I'm not sure if it is the latest update or not but Uranium is now a rare spawn in asteroids and I actually have some asteroids that are pure iron, anyone else getting this issue?

[@agdc24]

But how can you get sound in a vacuum??

[@DerpyPenguin4747]

NOOO!!! SAGE YOU BEAT ME!!!!

[@nightflash4782]

oooooh they should make some more weapons instead of just rockets and Gatling guns and modded in weapons like a tank cannon for rovers and tank tracks for rovers that would be amazing! and a planet or 5 or something like that something big enough for a tank/ rover

[@vukpsodorov5446]

there is a modded 88mm cannon on the workshop.

[@nightflash4782]

vuk psodorov i know but i mean like weapons that are different in the base game

[@vukpsodorov5446]

MiniCrafter true, it does lack some. also, ninja pirate who makes the CSD weapons updated teh mod and made a 250mm version of the gun which is for bug ships. the small 88 can fire APCR and HEKC, but the 250mm can only fire HE.

[@MadSpectro7]

I feel like, in order to satisfy my inner audiophile, the "range" setting should be renamed "gain."

[@xjonnyd93x]

how is sound in space possible?

[@Indraroh]

Magic But in general the game would be pretty boring without sound, even if it is aiming for some semblance of realism

[@Sanometo]

***** you have not heard of an ion thruster have you.

[@vukpsodorov5446]

Xenomorph Drone it's set in 2077. and you don't have to scientifically prove correct something in a game. xjonnyd93x maybe because it's a game?

[@vicwaz007]

***** there is oxygen now js

[@PQNY]

I want the alarm sounds from Alien

[@petarmilic9729]

Guys quick! Vote for which sages ships should be submitted!

[@ventusprime]

all my ships works on this

[@BritishEcho]

Performance Friendly well that's my 150m kg ship out of the question lol.....

[@mvee363]

Am i allowed to ask for your pc-data :) i wanna buy myself a new pc cause space engineers is laging so much :(

[@RiderNathaniel]

Don't be lazy takes 2 seconds to find out his system info, go to channel info.

[@MrPlaneCrashers]

I do not recommend buying the equivalent of what Sage have, because you will spend *WAY* too much money (I think his PC is simply too powerful doesn't really matter what you are doing). SE only demand a little 3 gb of RAM and I never had a problem with processors. Usually the problem is the video card, but since they cost a lot of money, I recommend doing is first do a little test : open the task manager and check for the usage of your processor while playing SE, if it is to high, buy a new processor, if it is ok, buy yourself a better video card. You need at least AMD Readon 7800 but a video card with 2 Gb of memory (any type is fine...) is better. You can increase all the specs to the max without lagging. However, like I said a memory card does cost a lot of money, so before buying a new video card, try to lower quality to normal and, if it doesn't work, try to lower the resolution.

[@giin97]

Plane crashers caution with the processor check. The more cores/threads you have, the lower the "maxed out" percentage will be. Physics engines, the part that lags on movement/collisions, aren't really a multicore type thing. If you have 4 cores, real or emulated, you're processor will max and lag you around 25-35%, depending on how clean your system runs. Low core count without hyperthreading will beat a high core with hyperthreading processor of identical speed in a physics game.

[@nitekroller]

Plane crashers doesn't matter what type it is?!?!!? So I could get a gt 610 2gb and I could max it out just because it has 2gb, XD its like saying that a processor with a good clock of let's say 3.8 GHz fx 4300 is better than an i7 that has 3.4 purely because of the clock speed

[@MrPlaneCrashers]

Ryan Gunn well, since I never had a problem with processors, I recommend just not focusing your effort in finding an awesome processor because a good one will do the job.

[@SirAroace]

To all complaining about sound in space: SHUT UP!!!

[@AGrumpyPanda]

Xenomorph Drone The suit would be able to pick up the direction of the broadcast and generate the "3d" effect from that.

[@MrPlaneCrashers]

*update 1.060 not 1.054

[@monkeyspank2242]

umm sound in space? "in space, no one can hear you scream" you need air to carry sound.. but its a game so what evs

[@BloodPlusPwn]

Well, I'd say the intention of the speakers is to be used "inside" the ships lol

[@Nvisaged]

*rolls eyes*

[@monkeyspank2242]

Xenomorph Drone that would be cool but why would it be in "3d" stereo then? could also explain why the audio is so quiet, "in suit" audio would be quieter than anything else you may hear? idk but hopefully it will make much more sense in later updates

[@CynicatPro]

Kevin Masters simple answer. game mechanics. this will let people do cool stuff. science comes second to a good game. this isn't a simulation after all.

[@vukpsodorov5446]

and people actually forget that having no sound in a game is no fun at all. and as CynicatPro said, it isn't a simulation as we don't know what it would be like in space in 2077 so you can't make a simulation of it.

[@ShockingWaterman]

I gaved them 300 billions 100,billions have guns for protection

[@joshuaearle9250]

Check out this small asteroid destroyer!! steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=355548066

[@AarieaaronFTW]

SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE. This is update 1.060, your thumbnail says 1.054.

[@VideoSage]

Thank you for pointing that out, should be fixed now- might take a while for it to actually show the change but a new thumb nail has been uploaded.

[@AarieaaronFTW]

Video Sage Yep, its fixed now.
