Space Engineers - The Basics of Crafting

[@danielallen6238]

Just liked and subscribed. Always show support for fellow space engineers... New to the game here, but I have searched youtube for a tutorial on best, most efficient ways to layout your crafting areas, or a starter base layout up to the refinery, assembler stage at least. (not the basic versions.) Having a hard time planning out a floorplan. Anyway, great video man. If you could try to put out a video on how to build/layout your starter base that would be greatly appreciated. Nobody else really does this, idk why. Keep up the great work bro, ttyl!

Thank you for your feedback and comments. As for the video, I think most people don’t do because it depends on where and how you build your base. Like underground, off the side of a mountain, flat terrain, things like that. But I think, I can come up with something for you. Thank you for liking and subscribing.

@@demonatagaming totally understand. LOTS of different factors, maybe after you do the basic assembler, refinery etc. Where and how could I setup my big boy machines to be as efficient as I can, and what to do with all the ports etc... No pressure, just do what you do bro. lol

Made a video for you, goes live today. Hope it answers some of your questions.

@@demonatagaming oooh, checking it out rn. I'll let you know bro. Thanks

I appreciate your video. I was just curious as to whether or not you know why my wind turbine went missing after a night off from building. I have weather system activated as normal and I believe a lightning storm came through. It seems that my wind turbine tangled with a lightning bolt, that's just my assumption.. would I be correct to assume? Also if so, would a decoy be the best way to ensure my turbines protection? Or is there anything else I can do to protect them? Thanks for your help..

[@demonatagaming]

Lightning could have done it for sure. Setting some decoys can absolutely help. Place a couple around the base and make them higher than everything else, just like you would a lightning rod, but keep a few extra parts on hard for the decoys so you can fix them right after they get hit.

This is how I know I'm too stoned and need to go to bed lol Thanks for putting the info survival kit being a refinery right in the beginning I've been playing this game since it came out, but I just sat there for 30 mins trying to figure out how to power a basic refinery and an assembler without the ability to build any of the components Now if only I could've figured out about the jump drives this quick before I spent an hour flying 1000m/s for a 24000km delivery, only to build a few of them mid flight and finish the other 99% of the distance in a few minutes 😂😂

[@LadyMistborn]

I'm definitely going to watch the rest of these to make sure I'm not missing out on any more game changing features that have been added in the last decade that I've been a hermit on one of my solo star systems lol

[@demonatagaming]

😍 Thank you for watching. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

"So to do this we open our progression tree" and you assume we know how to do that. GRRRRR

[@demonatagaming]

Fair point. If on PC, press the “G” key. At the top is two tabs. Click the one on the right.

why does the large cargo container not show up for me

[@demonatagaming]

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply. To answer your question, if you have progression turned on, then you will have to follow the progression chain to unlock the container.
