CO, Fe, Ni second floor: Parking lot (Lateral/horizontal connectors) (is it possible to have a counter measuring H2/O2 and power transfer?) or an unpressured lounging area with pilot chairs for recharging individuals (H2, O2, power, & health (also a meter to measure)). Either way, heavy armor plating covering pressurized lounge area. (and there is my 2¢ or 2p wherever you are) Thanks for the edutainment.

You should also add an event block for the hydrogen engines. Something like toggle them on when only 10% of base power left and off when 50%.

[@mechamotioisma]

Very clever.

[@joathar89]

I thinked of the the same, but you already said it, and I am a little bit late Not little, but ittle

[@mihaipuscasu7357]

Baterry/server room is a lot of room to depressurise when you need access to the tunnel. Build another door right after the current one = basic airlock, so you only lose 2 blocks worth of atmosphere at most. Of course, that implies you do not forget to close doors... Also, parking cameras. Plonk a camera facing back, preferably in a position where you can see your connector, and you will never have issues with parking your vehicles in cramped spaces.

[@lucianjaeger4893]

Since your thinking of turning the battery room also into a computer room a suggestion on decorations and placement for you to liven it up some. I think the room was two blocks high? Top row. From left right old style battery and put an access panel decoration on it (then open the panel) a warfare battery, heat vent change the light colours all to black so it doesn't give off light (now you have an animated industrial aircon to keep the batteries and computer room "cool") warfare battery and another old style battery with an access panel on it. On the bottom row you put your programmable, timer and event controller blocks. I like putting my turret controllers in my computer rooms to look like work stations. A final suggestion something I did on a multiplayer server and scared my friends half to death if you hide an exhaust vent with the top facing into the room behind a battery or the heat vent for exampl and set it to shoot sparks of electricity then set it to say maybe 80% of power usage it'll shoot sparks into the room like the the batteries are overloaded or struggling when your power usage hits 80%. For context on how I scared them I got tired of the ship we were living on not really doing anything interesting what I mean is that it didn't feel alive it was a rusty old clunker but it felt to smooth so I dimmed the lights gave them that industrial orangish colour to mesh with the rusty greys and dirty browns and heavy rust colours set some random ones to occasionally flicker then hid exhaust vents in the walls and behind key area like batteries the h2 engines, programmable blocks in the cockpit and the jump drives. when they set the 6 jump drives to charge areas of the ship started spitting smoke and sparks and everyone had a heart attack thinking something went wrong but it gave the atmosphere it really was an old ship now. 😂

[@zestylobstertail4277]

some beverage ideas: just Coffee, Ni-tro cold brew, Ferappuccino

[@dakaodo]

Unlike IRL, SE fuel consumption linearly increases with thrust output. A quadratic relationship would have been kind of cool. I wish my math and scripting skills were strong enough to make a mod for SE thrusters to do this. I remember informally testing the "fewer thrusters = less H2 fuel use" idea a few years ago. I set up a heavy ship (large cargo filled with steel plates) with several H2 tanks and 10 large up thrusters in gravity. Then I checked the time to empty the tanks. As long as your mass and acceleration are constant, total fuel consumption stays constant regardless of the number of thrusters. Fewer thrusters just work closer to their max thrust output, and more thrusters just work closer to zero output. for forward/backward/left/right thrust, I used thruster groups and override to set a thruster group to constantly burn at a given percentage level, and changed the number of thrusters in the group per fuel consumption test. Fewer thrusters would cap max acceleration possible, thus limiting fuel consumption per unit time. But it also caps acceleration, so you have to spend more time to slowly accelerate the same constant mass up to your desired velocity. I'm basing this only on the in-game fuel tank time-until-empty timer in the control panel, while each test group of X number thrusters burned on override at a constant rate. Slower acceleration does mean smoother velocity changes and more time to respond to changes, so it irons out sharp and sometimes wasteful peaks of sharp acceleration and overcorrections.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Thank you for the information!

[@enbasagar2007]

Ice mining just makes sense to be done at the pan base, we have a ton of ice there already.

[@Mr76Pontiac]

COFINI should have some browns, or wood panelling for a different aesthetic. I can appreciate the "All white" on an ice planet, but, coffee shops are rarely ever medical grade white.

[@TheMegamaster44]

Maybe it’s an ice CoFeNi chop😂

The ice mining station can be the "Frappuccino Filler" [or any other iced coffee type beverage].

[@HeruKane]

This was a very good episode! I really like the base building here.

[@Jinto95]

It would be great, if you would connect CoFeNi outpost, with mine underneath. Behind the bars could be a room that looks like it leads into the kitchen, but in reality it would be "secret" entrance into the mine. Like in movies, when behind the bar and kitchen is some secret money laundering room, or casino playing gangsters :)

[@Mr76Pontiac]

I'm iffy on that idea. Having the drones going back and forth for supplies would give the environment a more "lived in" scenario rather than going to the coffee shop and instructing your assemblers to build torpedoes.. ... ..although now that I type that.......

[@C-Squad3]

What a great suggestion to have stages of thrusters that turn on. I like the docking method but never did it through event controller, think I just did it through a timer block with trigger now.

[@Joacoodominguez]

The nickelback part got me 🤣

[@nulling8401]

Great series so far! Making me want to return to Space Engineers after a 4 year hiatus. One suggestion, and I checked the most recent episode to see if it was implemented and it hasn't. You should consider swapping the third screen (planetary gravity) on the welder with a screen that tells you how full the cargo containers are and maybe list some components in their quantities. So when you're welding, you can tell if you need to make a trip to go grab more components to continue the job or just know what type of components you have without needing to open the inventory.

[@KonFODDER]

COFINI top room should have a h2-o2 gen or maybe a it and an engine berried underground in the mine for backup power just in case

[@AndrewmanGaming]

I like the idea of a backup generator to keep the business running!

[@heinrichetsebeth157]

[@Sasaking999]

At 16:25 you can pull from inventory directly into your cargo. Just make sure that the left is selected to your ship only and everything else on the right. Then pull everything using the buttons (edit) in the inventory page, not the shortcut buttons. Also you can pull from inventory and keep items in your builder bar. So that if you have 8 conveyors. You can pull 8 conveyors into your ship and pull 8 again without struggling or holding a conveyor in front of a port. It should work perfectly without inventory management scripts (IMM) if you use isy’s IMM you can select specific connectors to be ignored so you can put in your welder without issues

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Thank you for the tips!! I always forget those inventory buttons exist :)

[@marcus1980]

Pam base - Should setup a PB with PAM with controller status and then setup the communications... this will help with knowing what is happening without any need to find them or otherwise. But also making a screen with inputs on the ships is well nice but the controller is WAY better :)

[@Tashmann]

Welder ship is only filling to 90% because there is a hydrogen tank not connected somewhere on board...

[@lucaswarner6456]

Confin should have some turrets so the base is protected from enemys

Absolutely, I need to give it a few.

[@mrkarkarof_1692]

Maybe you could do a kind of hydrogen tanker going back and forth between the PAM and the Base, given that you already have the o2/h2 and the hydrogen storage there

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

Hotel rooms in case you have co-op player visitors!

[@jplind7031]

Fun episode, I feel like you could pump alot of ice into the base from the Pam base. 1 trip full of ice every few, eh?

[@vashstpd]

At 11:00 minutes, you should have put a welder at container to build things faster!

[@anthonylionelwoest6732]

[@1hawkfilms]

Beef up your defenses on all four sides at all locations. One extra at the solar panel location wouldn’t hurt either. You put in a lot of work building everything.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

You're right, we need more defenses for sure!

[@1hawkfilms]

You are the best at what you do! Keep ‘em coming !

[@anthonybisanti704]

Ive got an idea maybe you'll like. "Drawing" a line on the floor aligned with the connectors, so that way you wont have to tilt the view to check the back of the ship and the connectors. Like a red line, or something.

A game room with a juke box and a theater would be cool too. While it was really large, I did see somebody made a small grid arcade game so that would be cool. A billiard table would be cool, but all they have is holo tables... I guess you could simulate a billiard table with blocks and a good sized LCD panel...

[@AndrewmanGaming]

That's a good idea! A game room would go very well in the CoFiNi shop!

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

Somebody who is good at artwork should make some kind of logo to hang over the door or all along the front of the shop. Just put one or more LCD panels and either put one image on one LCD or break it up and put sections of it over multiple LCDs. Something with a mug, a glass, the words, maybe some beans, a piece of chocolate, a spring of mint, a little pitcher of cream, and maybe an engineer or 2. Just an idea.

[@travispluid3603]

I'd suggest putting railing along the walkway in the Battery Room- don't want OSHA to come in and shut you down, do you? XP

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Hahaha I've gotta be more careful using the word "final" in a title!

[@SomeBTrue]

It would be a fantastic idea to set up auto crafting with izzys inventory management script. It would also help with having a wealth of materials in your weld ship so you won't need to pick what you need in the ship to weld, you only need to connect to a connector at base and izzys will load up the missing materials you used automatically.

[@michaellewis9019]

There is plat planet side to mine I found it while exploring pretty close to your base. Happy hunting

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Is there really? I thought it wasnt supposed to spawn on planets! Ok I'll do some scouting :)

[@michaellewis9019]

@AndrewmanGaming if there is a mod to prevent it, then maybe mine is not working right. But I found some and completely forgot I could make teir 3 tools with it until you said you needed it for that.

[@goistoist]

This is a late comment, and I apologize. However, the Barista's timings are exactly what I use in a similar craft.

[@chrisross7758]

Parhaps an encased lift to an all window viewing deck at the cofini shop

[@Sasaking999]

It would be really cool if in the underground battery storage area if you had a secret bunker/drone controller area where you can control drones to defend your base and mine. Like “oh no! Reaver attack! To the emergency room!” Plus you can set an event controller to trigger red rotating lights when your base is locked!

[@Sasaking999]

Bonus points if you have a shaft that goes down straight to it Also put down a ai-defensive block on your base

[@AndrewmanGaming]

I like the idea! Maybe in the area we mine out for ice we'll do a panic room like that.

[@schmidtm1983]

Omg 😂surrounded bei ice. But has no hydro. Lol

[@ninebitdog2675]

Put the solar tower LCDs in the power room, easier access

[@Lunartrek]

What would be galaxy brain of you would be to install an emergency power switch with a small battery that you set to automatically switch on to power whatever programmable blocks necessary to sense low base power and to automatically switch to generator power. That would be a really cool addition of some much needed sophistication.

[@haelww1]

Call me crazy, but the cofini shop could use some protective mesures. I was thinking the whole building able to be retracted underground (evangelion style)

[@petervanhekkenv237]

I usually do 2 yield, 1 speed, 1 power efficiency just as my standard

[@Vessekx]

Set up event controllers on the base to turn the hydrogen engines on/off automatically when power gets too low.

[@Christhulhu]

you could let the ice drill drill in a circle by a rotator :D

[@sinrkidd]

You should build like a mining rig or something on your base so you can get alot of ice for your base just making a suggestion

[@bechirbenothman5453]

I always use 1 full yield refinery for Pt and Ur and 1 full speed refinery for Co and Mg

[@Zikopiko04]

Maybe you could do a hydrogen transport from the PAM base to the main base since the PAM base has so much anyways.

[@jamesduncan5814]

you really need to make a hauler from the pam base for hydrogen transport ship you have those 3 industrial tanks over there using the ice from the pam miners

[@The_Texman]

Just set up another event controller for the Engines where if the power drops below a certain level the engines kick on then when they aren't needed they shut off.

[@shaneedwards596]

and event controller on the base, which when power low, H2 Generators activate... but turn off once the power levels are restored to upto 60-70% also if H2 is below a certain level only 1 generator activates or it stops the Gens kicking in... May also be worth setting up a small miner which is only for ice collection that goes direct to the base, and or an Ice Hauler to collect H2 or Ice to ferry to the main base, cos the outpost seems to get a fair amount from the PAM miners... also may be worth putting more large grid cargo, having 1 specifically for ICE for shipping back and any surplus is to power the pam outpost. the small welder connection you may be able to use a conveyor converter and attach a small connector to that which will allow you to pipe it too also great call on both the ships and those outward struts should help with survivability a fair amount too and the CoFiNi outpost is looking might fine.... a truly rich blend 😉 thanks for another awesome video @AndrewmanGaming

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Thank you for all the suggestions! An event controller would be perfect to control those H2 generators when I'm not paying attention. And you're right, it wouldn't be too difficult to set up an H2 hauler from the PAM base back to the main base.

Man I hate to be this guy, but I have to say something. My face hurts from all the facepalming I've been doing watching your videos. The gears idea looks cool, but is functionally useless. It takes the same amount of force to accelerate your ship regardless of how many thrusters you turn on. The same amount of hydrogen will be burned to generate that force. For example, if it takes 100N to lift your ship and you have 5 thrusters pointing down, each one will apply 20N of force. If you have 2, each will apply 50N of force. Both scenarios burn the same amount of fuel. Turning off thrusters just makes your ship less responsive. If you've committed to adding their weight to the ship, turn them on. Turning off your forward facing thrusters is going to help so much more, you really need to make a separate group for them. Blocks can exist in more than one group, so have a group for all thrusters and a separate one for forward facing only. Turn those off while cruising and you'll drastically reduce your fuel consumption. And please for the love of Klang, stop blowing all your oxygen out of your base all the time. You're wasting so much ice! You're waiting for your hydrogen ships to refuel while your H2O2 gens turn ice into oxygen. I think you should consider a separate conveyor line and generator for your oxygen production, tanks, and vents. Then you can decide what your ice turns into.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Thanks for the feedback! I think you're right about the forward facing thruster toggle being way more useful than the gears. I'll keep the gears because they do help with controlling the ship. It's too zippy when empty with all thrusters firing. But I'll keep this in mind and consider a forward thruster shutoff for added efficiency!
