The deadly sun mod sounds like exactly what is being looked for.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Thank you!!

[@WTC2014]

You should do a series or mini series where you remain in space and can only send remote controlled drones and ships down to the planet's surface. You could have something like a hangar base (in space) that you build and service the drones. This would be great with the mod that limits certain ores to certain planets. It would be interesting because then you would have to set up radio relay stations and such in order for your remotes and drones to function.

[@dylkirbs]

Yeah, this is really cool. Could so some super cool base building with an awesome control room

[@shimonyk]

And building droppable pre-fabs in space to set up mining outposts, things like that

[@AndrewmanGaming]

I was very close to doing a similar mini series, but never got around to it. Maybe next year I'll find the time! I think it'll be pretty unique.

[@Jollyhoy]

For your drone printer: when your pistons reach 100%, trigger a timer with a delay to reverse instead of directly from the event controller. This should let the pistons hang out a second to weld those stubborn blocks a little better.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Thank you for the tip!

[@offylibertylover4868]

We read several of those children's books to our kids. I remember "If you give a...Cat a Cupcake, Moose a Muffin, Dog a Donut and of course Mouse a Cookie." Those were great fun!

[@AndrewmanGaming]

They had other ones?! I only knew If you give a mouse a cookie. I had no idea there were other variations!

[@supersnuffy]

It looks like the hangar needs some hidden pop out turrets controlled from that new control room. Would have been nice in last years series

[@chadp6307]

For your drone building system (the current design), delay the piston return so they sit at 100% extended for a few more seconds to try to get those last few blocks welded. The hangar control room/cockpit is looking good. For that space to the side of the control area, after you put in the timers and stuff, maybe add some Defensive AI blocks to control some Interior Turrets inside the hangar? Going off your idea for the AMG Snowstorm being lost in the 2025 series... You head off to space to investigate some Unidentified Signals. As you take a drop ship down to a planet to check out a crash site/mysterious installation, there is some catastrophic computer glitch that causes the Snowstorm to jump away without you, destination unknown. This could work with or without the Hostile Planet idea you mentioned. It would be a 3-part scenario. 1- Survive 2- Get back to space 3- Find the Snowstorm

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Oooo I like that idea for the series! I'm writing that down!

[@faithlessone4694]

Suggestion: You conclude this season flying the sandstorm into space where the Pirates have put a bounty on the ship. They attack and capture you, secluding you on a prison planet where the weather acts as the prison walls. -Madmavn (sp?) is doing an SE run with damaging weather. Think he's trying to tailor a suit of mods before releasing it as a scenario. Love the series,

[@sicklyfox]

Theres a few planets, like Thanatos on the workshop, that have highly inhospitable weather events on the surface, like lightening storms and corrosive rain. Could be interesting to see, though the corrosive rain, from what I've heard, can do a lot of damage to most grids, so I don't know if any combat events could happen too often. Would be cool though. The drone printer in this episode is satisfying to watch. : P

[@Dennys854]

I am so happy to see the launch sequence working. After my volumes of commentary on it, it does exactly what you want, with a great and fast means of firepower multiplication. The finale is getting some sort of control console for manual drone control, so you could launch a wave of 4 and have a leader under manual control with the other 3 fly formation and be able to be released to AI on demand, or have the squadron (human operator) return to formation . I like the hangar area re-do and control station. Use dead space that needs to be filled with arms lockers for away teams, ready/briefing room, or just random cargo items? Is the engine room completed? When doing bottom more belly weapons (the ground assault railgun :) ) . Still think you need an Aft heavy turret - assault cannon or some such on the topside behind the main bridge. What could also be neat in the hangar dead space or somewhere on bottom is a belly extending ramp to board from ground level? Can't wait to see her fly (and get the Uranium on that asteroid) Incredibly enjoyable series.

[@wtftolate3782]

I would keep the AMG Sandstorm the way it is as you continue the series. Just make things more lethal.

[@TheEJackUK]

Have some pirates take the snowstorm off you at the start. Then you have to try and get it back :P

[@Raziel7888]

I knew it was friday, what a day friday is ^.^ If u do a series, stuck on the planet, there are plenty with serious gravity, something the Snowstorm wouldn't be able to enter without crashing. MadMavn is doing a lot with weather in his series, looks pretty frustrating, but interesting dynamic to the game, definitely makes the worlds hostile

[@vaevictis6990]

What if you do a "Battlestar Galactica" type scenario? Keep the AMG Snowstorm, but disable assemblers and refineries. Goal is to cross a star system, full of hostiles but you can only scavenge for repair materials and ammo. Or maybe you can have refineries assemblers but they are limited to ammo only and can only repair Snowstorm via salvage?

[@death13a]

Scrap only and no ores? And have enemies attack if you remain in one spot too long. 😅

[@dareonmograin5136]

If he is constantly being followed by drones and other things, he won’t have much time to extract resources!

[@Kami8705]

I was thinking something similar, although it will be a hard balance to maintain. Keep the AMG Snowstorm but no mobile base. Maybe be able to build refineries and assemblers(or salvage them) but no stationary grids, and he has to make a jump of a minimum distance every episode? Keep him moving and exploring, plus attacking things like the Factorum. The other option that could be cool would be finding an old Factorum capital ship that's just a shell and he needs to gather all the blocks to bring it back to operational status

[@mystrtwenty]

That's a really cool idea

[@shimonyk]

I was looking into doing a playthrough like this a little while back, using mods to disable refining stone and eliminate all ore deposits so the only real source of metal is salvage and trade stations

[@woomination]

The best planet for hostile environments for me is a planet called "Argus". It is very hostile and even if it does provide a lot of resources including a new ore into the game. Surviving it would be very difficult still due to how hostile the planet is against players and grids

[@ThatCrayzBoyDayv]

thank you for the information i was looking for a Hostil planet !!!!

[@sebione3576]

You should crash land on a sabroid infested planet like splitsie's scrap planet and be forced to repair sandstorm with parts you find.

[@fredpryde8555]

that drone system is so amazing dreat design i really like the control room for the hanger area that turned out awesome i am really liking this series

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

Your ship is looking really great! And the drones are both cute and look really capable for their size!

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

The way the printer/launcher modules are set up, it would make the most sense to simply start at the furthest extension, and just slowly move back welding in one direction until all are welded. That would require the welders move more slowly, so they would not miss any blocks.

[@Fireball3949]

12:19 Maybe place the amg sand/snow storm in space so that you can find and capture it. Maybe you can make a drop pod to go to earth

[@savage5975]

Be awesome to see you launch a swam of them Like you build 6-8 launch bays look so awesome

[@Jeremy-tr1vr]

Go and hunt down the reaver home world. Create a small planet further out where you have to do several jumps and have waves of reavers that come and spawn in for MES. Also your inventory on your character to max just helps you out. It’s not cheating when it’s an option in the game to do it without using the admin menu. I also have an amazing idea for the ending. I don’t want to put it here but you can message me

[@MrDanaris]

i'm glad i found your channel you've probably got the best SE survival content just binged this whole playlist in less than a week haha

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Welcome to the channel! I'm glad you're enjoying the content :)

[@randallvolk8437]

The hanger control room area should be airtight if possible!

[@CasualGamerDad]

Would be awesome if you were just flying over a toxic planet in the AMG Sandstorm, when you have complete power failure and can no longer re-power the ship!! Within the first two episodes you must build a drop ship with no thrusters or engines with parachutes and enough supplies to for a basic assembler and Refinery. And drop in the planet and try to survive a hostile planet!

[@phforNZ]

Definitely can make hostile planets. MadMavn is currently building himself a scenario that's founded on the concept (though he's taking it to his usual extremes) but there's a lot of choice for it

[@shaneedwards596]

idea for next series, you encounter a beacon on a nearby planet.... it could be a distress signal.... it could be a warning.... it could be anything even residual background evidence of unknown or unseen tech, maybe even a new life form or civilisation..... so you prep your shuttle which has your survival kit.. and enough ammo and resources to get started. you fly down to the planet, but the gravity is too strong and you cannot leave.... at least not with a small ship, the surface hot and dangerous during daylight, and night time there are unusual lifeforms or artificial lifeforms which patrol the surface looking for resources in the form of crashed ships or even potential outsiders... staying out of site and defended is needed early on... but in order to find out more you need to infiltrate their instillations and explore for answers and potential tech to help you get off the planet.... and back to the Snowstorm...

[@AndrewmanGaming]

This is a really interesting idea! Some commenters have mentioned the hostile sun mod that could work for this. I'll write it down and think about it for next year!

[@shaneedwards596]

@@AndrewmanGaming I definitely look forward to whatever you come up with 🙂 and yeah I saw the hostile sun mod think it is more dangerous in thin to no atmosphere... and in vacuums but you are ok within a ship or cockpit, and depending on the planet/moon could determine whether you are forced underground or under blocks to survive also thanks @Andrewman

[@jamestaylor9887]

depending on how your first couple of encounter go with the Factorium the sandstorm while late game may not be as useful as you think. so with the series continuation it could be interesting if you end up having a "war" with the factorium and maybe the reavers.

[@mystrtwenty]

Have you considered using small grid computational blocks (event controllers, timers, programmable, etc)? That way you could set up a "computer room" with all the blocks rather than having to find space to put them all.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

That's not a bad idea!

[@marcoowskyy]

now im watching both: europa and pertam series

[@aaronpaul5990]

The only difference that the inventory size makes in the game is how many times you have to run back ... if you added a gravel shifter or something like that acutally changes gameplay it would be more significant

[@That_EvilGuy]

dam i have watched them all already? I guess gone have to watch your older letsplays And wait for new episode xd.

[@SteveWecker-e6k]

Survival series should start with limited backpack etc, but as you progress and reach certain tech development points, adjust the capacity. Silly to have jump drive tech, but only small bags to carry stuff!! (It's really boring to watch you flying to and from getting components in later episodes! Especially when you do time lapse with welding ship!

[@pjcook2770]

What if you were captured by an enemy faction, and taken prisoner to a hostile planet where you have to escape and find your ship ? No idea how you'd make that happen but it's a cool concept.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

That is a neat concept! Maybe a good idea for a mini series. I'll write it down. Thanks!

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

You could also use a clang cannon and launch wheels or gyros at the enemy.

[@dareonmograin5136]

It seems there is a terrible lack of heavy armor on this ship!

[@RcMayhem24Ficker2]

I didn’t realize it looked like a WW1 tank till he said it. And I forget the name but it looks almost exactly like a particular British tank.

[@ramonsutton]

Take over the sola system ie all the trade stations

[@mrfoot6480]

🛡Spoiler Shield 🛡

[@MichaelNdungu-iv9dr]

2025 we will continu with the Episode 😊😅😊😊😊

[@death13a]

For drones when piston extended have it stay fully extended for couple of seconds to build back of drones of a&c

[@andyblondyn1898]

Make the amg in next series damaged after meeting the rage of Factorum. Floating in the middle. Either you are on board or not, up to you. But I doubt that in the current state amg has a lot of chances versus factorum ships while defending itself.

[@dareonmograin5136]

Try to make yourself an analogue of the Battlestar galaxy series. A long journey with constant pursuit

[@DizzyDJW]

You know, you could replace a TON of timer blocks with just one programmable block. Also, I personally always use the 60,000 player inventory mod, can't remember the actual name but it gives me 60,000 for carrying everything. I hate making a hundreds trips to finish a task.

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

Its only end game if you don't have a large enemy.

[@mrfoot6480]

Series idea: you arrive on earth with the AMG Snowstorm in space because hostile entity's where detected. You start building a base but later find ut that the AMG Snowstorm disappeared and when you come back you from trying to find ut what happend your base looks much older and like someone else has been living there for years. You later find evidence that the AMG was there but is now not so you have to start sending ut drones to search for The AMG Snowstorm and what might be the reason that the base aged so much.

[@ady2848]

Best scenario out of all i have read

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Ooooo that's a good one! This would be an amazing scenario!

[@ady2848]

Hey i suggested adding a print and launch button to the cockpit last video.I think it will be a good addition especialy when you have that many control pannels,it would be helpful?

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Yes, its a very good idea!

[@DanielJBarnett]

You should do a no jet pack play through next year

[@dakaodo]

Ha ha look ma I'm famous! :D Thanks for putting up with my frequently too-wordy comments. A statistics or telemetry tracking block would be amazing for numbers nerds! If not, I wonder if there's already a script or mod on the workshop to create and track variables like the hit rate you suggested.

[@siebrenbleeker9177]

Maybe the deadly sun mod and set atmosphere reduction to 0 so no save on surface when the sun is up and this go’s for space as wel

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Thank you for the suggestion! I will take a look at it.

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

They do already have a deadly sun mod...

[@markrowbotham222]

theres a mod called Deadly Sun if you want to fight in the shade by NayaNayaNayang

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Thank you for the suggestion!

[@MorbinNecrim86]

What if you add another welder so there is a welder at both drones at once and they sit there for a minute to weld two drones at once? Looking good so far, she'll fly again

[@savage5975]

Could you do one where you get ambushed in space and you have to fix up your capital ship in a space port and beast it out to whoop the space pirates azzez that would be an amazing series

[@savage5975]

So you potentially have to fly to a planet to bring resources to your space port and you probably make certain resources only on planets so you have to fly to the surface of planets that have hostiles to get resources and bring them back to space

[@savage5975]

So space you can only mine stone and you can only mine things from the planet to bring back to you space port to refine So you can build a transport shuttle and attachable miner or something cool like that

[@interstellarsnow]

There is a mod called deadly sun where the sun will cause you damage if you are in it (can be blocked by voxels and blocks including windows)

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Thank you!!

[@Derboffles]

What about having the snowstorm captured in orbit by hostiles. So you can't just build a ship to get you to orbit, have to have something that can take out bad guys... May be even and ai fleet

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Good idea!

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

I figure next year you should just go to war with some faction.

[@JohnBelding87]

What if you have the welders pause at full extension for 5 sec so it can get those blockes at the end?

[@kinestudios.suniverse2606]

put shield module into the ships then ypu can protect it better

[@bobcrachet-jf8js]

Mabe an idea for somthing you could do is mabe the ship gets captured by pirates or mercinarys or somthing like that and they want you to buy it back for a lot of money forcing you into doing like mercinary work or contracts.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

That's a cool idea!

[@vicflaggon6124]

.. GG ..🎉🎉

[@vallenittifyra]

What about the uranium asteroid?

[@AndrewmanGaming]

We'll go there with the sandstorm to pick up that uranium!

[@Creeper7sweeper]
