I can't believe you found what has to be the two best (from a total lack of danger perspective) encounters in the entire game! Both of those craft are joys to fix up. It was slightly painful to see the constructor dismantled, but it was completely understandable and justified in the circumstances. I've always been too far along for either of those to be beneficial by the time I found them, but still had fun doing complete restorations of them. 😀

Not quite the expected outcome - I thought you'd perform an emergency Capac Maneuver at least once, but fun journey nonetheless. Two ideas for a longer challenge - 1 - Suitless in Space - Start with a custom small-grid ship and build yourself a Space Trade Station - You can't survival outside a cockpit/pressured area, so need to build everything with welder/grinder ships and grinding out walls to make interior spaces is, dodgy... 2 Agoraphobic Engineering - A bit more role play, your Engineer is deathly afraid of the world around the station and CANNOT leave it's confines; build and gather with remote drones, you'll need antenna networks reaching to any place you need to act, but you do have a nice Station/Base you can decorate? I'm sure you could make them work - (I know I couldn't.)

@ivanheffner2587 3 ай бұрын

I think your Scrapyard experience helped with spotting and homing in on the very brief signal blips that made this start possible. If you think the RNGsus smiled upon you, maybe do this again above a different planetary body. Perhaps three or four times to eliminate some random luck factor. (Once a month series?) Have you considered a “no suit survival” series? Start on Earth-like with just a battery, survival kit, and a solar panel. You need to get to space and establish a base on the Moon. Maybe allow yourself a suit once you have a ship ready for space and built a Med Bay, but nerfed jet pack in gravity (although I think it sounds like that mod has been broken on your AA series).

@hostvind 3 ай бұрын

I've got a challenge idea to offer. You and your rival start at different planets. You can not leave your planet in person. You have to use relay satellites to navigate space remotely. You must destroy your enemy's beacon and keep your own from destruction. You are not allowed to build within sphere with 500m radius around your beacons. Your beacons must remain stationary all the time. Your beacon must be kept powered to broadcast. To power your beacon there must exist a straight line of pre-built heavy armor large grid blocks to the edge of no-build sphere where there is a reactor with a small amount of fuel just enough for you to replace it with other power sources later. A smaller scale of the task might be considering starting on the opposite sides of the same planet. I assume that flying fighters may do a quick work of an undefended beacon, so other limitations may be considered like no flying fighters or smaller non-build radius, or no travelling in person farther than a planet radius from your beacon.

@ultmateragnarok8376 3 ай бұрын

Retaining the 'no leaving the area' bit for the one-planet version could fix the fighter problem. To make a fighter you now need infrastructure, broadcasts across the planet - but rush it with max range antenna and your enemy will see you, and your fighter can be immobilized by breaking any link of that antenna chain. Or they sit and defend, as the time invested into that connection surely gives enough to set up static defenses on your approach path. Interplanetary would be interesting to be sure but possibly quite a long endeavor. Would see some interesting stealth plays with laser antenna and stuff to be sure.

Nice clutch! The most interesting way to do a suit-only start is to become a grinder pirate. The only other viable option is to find a trade station and rummage for loose change, which is as boring as it sounds. I'm trying a "no jetpack, no base" challenge (starting in a drop pod on the alien planet, no spiders). The goal is to construct a large grid mobile base capable of SSTO and carrying small ships. The "no base" part of the challenge just means not using grids that are static because they're in voxel, so its OK to use landing gear to get a windmill spinning. I currently have a large grid 6-wheeler mobile base and it is the ugliest hodgepodge I have ever concocted.

I would LOVE to see a "No Suit Survival" run. A run where your suit is permanently disabled. You can't breath, or use jetpack, and one misstep is all it takes to fall into the void. You could start on an earthlike, or if you want a challenge you could have a low O2 planet with a med station at spawn. Mad Mavn has a really good series on it and it honestly changes so much of how you play and how you build.

That was a very lucky start. When I've tried, I usually get dropped 100k + from any planets. My current game is on a Keen server. I started on the Moon, then deleted my rover, and I'm using the economy only to build up credits to buy ships. Grids can only be bought and modified, not built from scratch. Its quite a challenge.

god i just thought of a fun scenario idea! no hydro. you are an engineer on a tiny "construction platform" doing maintenance on a station at the edge of the gravity well of the alien moon when a big asteroid hits the station while you are doing an EVA. you can only watch the station get hit and most of the wreck rain down on the moon in chunks. now you are stuck up there in a field of debris with nothing but your tiny platform and tools and only limited lifesupport (open controls on the platform and like 1-2 bottles O2) you have to survive and get to the main station in earth orbit (eg set up a jump drive) its your pick: do you try to scavenge the debris and stay up there or do you try your luck with the larger chunks on the surface? but consider: your platform will sure as heck not make it back into orbit once its down on the moon

Challenge Idea: "Scuttle Mode" Start with the simple space pod, which also normally puts you in deeper space away from planets. You must then promptly speed the craft towards any decently sized asteroid: - The challenge begins once 50% or more of your ship is destroyed in this way - It doesn't necessarily have to be nose first. And must be done before doing anything else. - Make sure to leave the craft before the impact to prevent untimely death from impact. - Careful with the speed: It's preferred you damage 50% or more in one attempt, too little will be boring and possibly manipulable, but too much speed will easily make it WAY harder and could guarantee death. - Once at least 50% destroyed, use any means to survive. - Your goal is to build a functional ship of similar size to the original pod. Good luck.

I built one of each assembler/refinery to unlock progression but then had to immediately disassemble them. This entire playthrough i have to make it to Mars using only salvaged stuff, stuff i get at stations, and all of my vehicles have to be small grid. I just now made it to the moon after two days of jumping back and forth between stations on the Earthlike to gather enough parts to built a ship that could at least make it to the moon. My largest challenge is going to be building a small grid ship capable of floating between planets but i've done it with large grid ships before.

It is really hard to find something exactly like that on workshop but if you tell your expectations you could get couple of decent challenges tailored to you. Also, you were freaking lucky.

I'm here for the new series! Into the dark was great!

Incredible luck with reaching the atmosphere. But if you really want to suffer even more that badly: start in your suit on Earth or the Alien planet in your suit and with economy off and reduced surface wrecks to try surviving on basically just unknown signals. that really gets frustrating. trying that on the alien planet does need a little bit of start equipment to get an air intake quickly enough, though

I find, with the suit-only starts in space challenges.. you often get lucky with the first non-hostile grid you come accross.. and then it just becomes SE, as usual. No series needed on the same theme. Challenge Suggestions: - No friendly grid spawns - No Unknown Signals. - .. maybe no traders // not sure if any of that would lead to a soft block. Hadn't thought about it all the way through. That first (intact) ship you found (right at the beginning, no less_) made me think.. "aw, not this again..".

To add to the suitless in space idea - no suit/jetpack start with a custom small grid ship and limited basics, with Daily Needs Survival. Goal is to get from, say, a damaged asteroid base near Alien to Earthlike (return from a disastrous mission role play?)

I love this idea! I think I have seen something similar once but don't remember who it was.

6:00 Disassemble cockpit from vessel, re-attach on battery powered thing, instant suit refresh. Switch all other stuff off, leave attached to rock. WIN ! (from there you can simply disassemble the other vessel as much as needed, and build a basic assembler and ref)

I would like to see how you approach the challenges of a ‘No Suit Survival’ on like pertam. If you need a goal for the series have to build a megaship that is made of models and each model has to be built on a separate planet or moon.

I think you mean modules, could be wrong though.

I literally have like a 30 min routine for a space pod start to burn through progression and entirely skip hand mining. I think I need to try this next

You're the luckiest person going, I've tried this many times and died so many times.

Please continue this, I think it was "Largely Unemployed" that done one of these, only allowed to buy ships as well and it was a great series.

I remember that welding ship. Found one playing server-side a few years back. Kept it for a while.

Variation use the Mod "Grind To Learn 3" instead of progression, probably a lot harder and you would have to make sure that stuff spawns that will have things you need to grind to learn.

So to find something like that ship and then that wreck was nothing but luck, imagine capac try to do this with you, what entertainment value that would be lmao 🤣

@videogamerNattie98 3 ай бұрын

This is unironically one of the fun ways to start the game to me it makes it so you have to get creative on how to get to where you need to be that being said I do turn off progression because I find that limitation to arbitrary for my liking.

This challenge is great! I've been playing this for the last week and it's so much fun and hard work. In my first try I had to resort to stealing a ship because the one station I had access to was kind of a dead end to try and get power for batteries or even thruster parts would have taken a month of playing.

Glad you're enjoying it, these sorts of starts really can be fun and the sorts of things where memorable things can happen :)

Little Idea : - Lost in space without character tools and no space suit. - Spawning in a Space station with one or more small hydrogen ship with tools docked in a pressurized hangar. - Very far from "earth" planet, solar system like, only "earth" have atmosphere. - Only atmo and hydrogen thruster tech, no ion in game. Sorry for my bad english, my french brain need to return to school x)

I must say, with this random encounter you are sooooooo lucky... I would have gone and tried to find the trading post orbiting earthlike. Not sure how I would have proceeded from there but it would be a "ok-ish" bet to have the Tradingpost as a foothold.

@matthewcozon4686 3 ай бұрын

Suit only start is fun :) FWIW I find it easier to start by capturing a Cargo Ship, preferably a R.U.S.T. Freighter because it has a Cryo pod which can be turned into a SK easily

@Splitsie 3 ай бұрын

I assumed I was going to need to go after one of those, but I didn't end up seeing any in the time before I found what I did and before I would have run out of power. Either way, I feel I got very lucky :)
