Space Engineers Survival 2021 (Episode 14) - More Power Bank Work + Combat :D [Pertam]

Welcome back to Space Engineers survival on Pertam! In this episode, we do lots of work on our giant (and getting bigger) solar farm. Starting out with a timelapse, we move on to some work on the control station, do some tunneling, and finish off with a raid on a nearby abandoned (or rather not so abandoned) settlement!

I love how he asks if it rains on Pertam, whilst he looks out into a vast dry Desert Planet.... Hahahaha

[@SavedRanger5473]

I think you should make some kind of trailer truck. The trailer being the batteries.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Ooooo that would be really cool!

[@stuff_is_good]

In Australia they call them roadtrains they have 2-4 trailers

[@jimmyconder4623]

I think using voxel hands would be a great idea just to fix aesthetic stuff, like the deformed voxels from the tunnels. Kinda like how Splitsie did in his Survival Impossible series

[@mdcynyay]

I second that. Voxel hand is fine to use for aesthetic purposes

[@mrt5545]

Industrial types of property are generally operating 24/7 365 until they are on a maintenance break, in which case they are still there working, just not producing. The lights are to make that work possible, and overall more safe. The more you know!

[@andreyemelyan5267]

Rovers and fighters need decoy, enemy turrets will first be aimed at them, also in-game turrets have a pre-emptive firing, by using this we can avoid being hit by turrets. We need to make preemption points of decoys not intercepting the potential trajectory of our creation. Usually people put decoys on long sticks and rotate them with rotors or with own fighter. In this case, the circle drawn by pre-emption point will be bigger, and never intercept with circle drawn by decoy, that will cause invulnerableness to hit of rest of creation (I'm from Russia, so if you don't understand - ask questions)

[@snowcat9308]

Actually I understood your point with good clarity. You speak very good English, sir!

[@ScorpiusZA.]

44:59. I know these abandoned bases are slightly OP with their resources, but I find them so cool, plus so fun to grind down with a grinder ship

[@shadewolfe3131]

You're singing from Hamilton, I love it.

[@KrisRobinson]

You should mount your gun on a piston so you can hide the rover behind the hills and then pop your turret up to get a firing angle

[@Dagonius.]

I'm glad that changing your suspensions helped. I got a bit nervous when you said you'd put it to the test. LOL

[@STSWB5SG1FAN]

Instead of using a truck to carry batteries back and forth between your main bases and these solar collectors, have you considered using that new power tether mod? It lets you run power cables between different grids.

[@torrent9994]

A projector would help you when digging. Make a frame layout you want, blueprint it, project it into the ground where you want it, then just dig out the projection. Then you also avoid the miss digging of the terrain.

[@My_initials_are_O.G.cuz_I_am]

If you want a gun mod that is pretty close to vanilla RB Compact Weapon System 2.0 is pretty neat, and not particularly overpowered. It has smaller hitbox gatlings (turret and fixed) that have the same tier systems as vanilla handheld rifles. Though, the Precise (GAT-1) doesn't seem to have higher damage per shot, the Elite (GAT-7) has higher fire rate than Rapid-Fire (GAT-5) and the Elite ones don't require special materials The ranges are: GAT-5 600m GAT-3 800m GAT-7 1000m GAT-1 1200m

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Thanks for the suggestion! I might just bite the bullet and add one of these because they sound so cool!

[@Rocketcustompaints]

Hi Andrew! I know the series is a year old but it's helped me alot with my survival play through! Also love the chipmunk building song😂

[@borderlandsforlife7068]

have you considered making a tank with the cockpit in the center or back with heavy armor in the front?

[@texmex01]

I'm super late to this series but I hope he makes an armored combat vehicle

[@wolfe8035]

I have two rover variants I think you'll like a LOT. One is what I'd call an ATT (All-terrain Transport) that can carry a LOT of cargo and move quite quickly for its side, and an armored mobile bunker type (I forget the name) where it shares the same wheelbase as the ATT, however, it has 2-3 heavy armor layers, 4 turrets, and holes engineers can shoot out of from within. Its slow (obviously) however because its heavy armor it'll last a while.

[@TheScorpionsBoss]

You should use a large grid ore detector to find gold (it also makes easier to find any other minerals) since the range of the small grid one is very limited (50m for the small grid ore detector, 150m for the large grid one) and the gold kinda likes to be burried very far into the ground (usually more than 50m).

[@jacobktan]

Thanks for another episode. I was missing this series.

[@orvishana1210]

That was a nice time lapse at the start. 👍👍

[@quinnsd13]

your sped up singing montage give me foamy the squirrel flashbacks xD love'n the solar farm idea btw

[@JoachimVampire]

i have a super cool idea!!! and since it seems like i'm catching up it may still be viable! why don't you use "merge blocks"? this way you can have a true "truck"! you can set the batteries on wheels then attach them to a big grid truck, carry them to the charging station and attach them. then you deattach another set of full batteries and carry them home this way you won't have to wait for them to charge !

[@remethepplays]

The only effect from the left/right wheels are the way the tires go. Saying that, once you notice, you notice!

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Huh, so you're saying the fix of getting my rover to drive straight after changing the wheels was just a coincidence? I suppose if any settings were off on those wheels unbeknownst to me, changing them out would reset the settings.

[@remethepplays]

@@AndrewmanGaming I'm saying welcome to space engineers. As long as the the rover don't violently explode or send you into Dimensjon X, all is good.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

@@remethepplays Haha sounds about right XD

[@The-Nil-By-Mouth]

Yes, left and right is purely how they look.

[@Christhulhu]

I would guess u really need a dedeicated tank for this fughting parts. which is actual designed for fighting. with a smaller glass cockpit , maybe faster and high amored with the important parts in the inside. ^^ And a deflector shield mod would maybe do a good job for you. :)

[@UtopssAKAPJ]

Chipmunk singing was funny 🤣

[@skeptic_lemon]

The bigger the ship, the less it cares about being shot at.

[@lolkid6018]

i would like to see a tank or fighter build or just covert the transport rover but a bigger more permanent welding ship would also be cool.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

I definitely do need a tank! I need a way to make an accurate cannon though. Maybe railgun mod?

[@lolkid6018]

@@AndrewmanGaming i dont have space engineers just a idea i thought could work dont know much about that mod if you think its balanced and wont make super op and be more quality of life then its ok for me but a bomber could be interesting

[@lolkid6018]

[@andreyemelyan5267]

​@@AndrewmanGaming sniper thing mod (or something almost the same, I forgot the true name of mod), it allows us to build perfect static sniper cannon

[@PGLGriff]

I have a question for you good sir! How long it takes you to edit your videos? Been considering doing my own let's play and am just curious. Love the content!

[@lordsherifftakari4127]

the drift is always present no matter what. but using the correct wheel per side will limit its impact. the Ravenbolt Compact Weapon systems Gatling turret and cannons are more accurate yet use the same ammunition as the Vanilla Gatling guns the Gat-1 is a slow firing accurate weapon mount.

[@lordsherifftakari4127]

ohh yeah, Watch out for that TREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@prometheus8010]

You should build a mega solar tower on top of a hill that has them on the side rotating around the tower base or something and also have it have a defense system

[@mortigoth]

Interior turret based pulse laser is pretty good for taking down enemy weapons... Weak but at least accurate...

[@AndrewmanGaming]

I think I would take accurate over strong. It's a bit frustrating missing 90% of the shots. I guess that's what I get for fighting at range!

[@MrBlackdragon1230]

@ Jan Metus are you speaking of the ones by Skallabjorn? If so yes I use them for taking down small drones mainly. They are definitely more accurate than the vanilla turrets.

[@Baumrah]

The speed singing...lol

[@gidoiurafael]

nice video as always little bit of an epilepsy warning on the shooting sections your current vehicle is just a protected scout vehicle at most, a proper armored fighting vehicle would be useful for more expeditionary combat.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Good point, I'll probably start aiming first, then shooting while zoomed out so it's not so many bright flashes.

[@lolkid6018]

true a conversion could work or a tank with thick armor all round and more turrets not a transport truck with some armor and a gun

[@lolkid6018]

a air bomber could be interesting to not gonna lie hitting from 2 kilometers while being totally safe

[@PGLGriff]

Like how this ep started 👌👌

[@cnix21]

Hey Andrew! I know this was such a long time ago, but throughout your 2021 survival series, I’ve noticed you’ve found these SPRT outposts. What mod do you use to find these? Thank you!!

[@Onix-xs6wq]

Right then thank you much

[@Onix-xs6wq]

I'm looking forward to the next video

[@PhoenixBlade]

Haha... now with railguns in game 😏

[@remethepplays]

Also, no Rain on Pertam. Only dust storms and worse

[@anth5189]

You need to raise the height of your gun so the truck isn't exposed. Maybe add another gun or two.

[@Comicsluvr]

It's a shame that the gun makes such a large flash when firing. You would have been a lot more accurate if you hadn't been blinded. If you mount a Decoy on top of your vehicle and put heavy armor on it. it will go a long way toward soaking fire. If you put the whole thing on a trailer, you can leave it at home when mining or hauling and take it with when fighting or defending a fixed point.

[@chraske7651]

Yeeessss new video

I can't believe you replied to my message thanks

[@codasager5308]

Was that song from Hamilton 15:40

[@EDX500]

I may not understand all your reasons for building this power station so far from the base, but i think you're wasting a lot of effort not building it nearby and connecting it directly. Not to mention how exposed this will be to attack!

[@crazycatrox1103]

YAY! Fun! *Wow*

[@mwm87]

should have used a rotor to snap a large grid turret onto your rover. large target, but youd have been out ranging their guns by 400 meters easy.

[@LegitKev.]

Not sure why your doing the solar grid thing with car with batteries and connector to charge them then drive it to main base connector to charge batteries at main base. Seems long winded. Could have built this on top mountain new main base and connect it directly to power the main base. Still … enjoying binge watching this series :)

[@TopFreeStyIe]

Why not using hydrogen engines? They are way more efficient in power

[@Onix-xs6wq]

Okay I came on here to find out how to play Space Engineers sorry this is a big fail because I have no clue especially after watching your video

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Lmao yeah by episode 14 we're past all the 'just starting out' stuff. If you start at episode 1 though, things are a lot more newcommer-friendly.

[@lordsherifftakari4127]

Splitsie has a bunch of very good tutorials on how to play S.E. Andrew does as well listed separately from his playthrough series.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

@@lordsherifftakari4127 Yes, I do have the somewhat outdated "Space Camp" series where I teach lots of the early concepts. I think Splitsie did a full tutorial playthrough series. So whether you like to learn topic by topic or just watch someone play the game while teaching, we've got you covered!

[@Onix-xs6wq]

Oh I'm so confused because you have done all this stuff all camera and I don't know what you're doing and where you're at so what the heck

[@Onix-xs6wq]

Dang off camera

[@AndrewmanGaming]

I didnt do much off camera between episodes 13 and 14 here. Just the timelapse stuff :D
