Stationeers for Beginners - 5. Navigation and Mining

Learn how to find your way back to base when you go out mining, how to use your mining tools, what ores and ices you'll find in Stationeers and their uses, how to use the Arc Furnace, as well as how you can improvise a breathable atmosphere using Oxite Ice.

You're content is good, Alekki. Hopefully see some more from you soon.

With myself having nearly 1000 hours in Stationeers, this is one of the best tutorial videos I’ve seen. Nice! Looking forward to an ‘air-conditioning’ video. I always find it difficult to cool a Vulcan base. Would love to see a video on Solar tracking WITHOUT having to use code. Just with a couple of logic I/O’s? The position of the sensor always stumps me?

Hey Alekki can you show atmospheric tutorials? Also keeping temp and what good for breathing in base 64% nitro and 36% o2? Thanks for doing the video which makes the game more entertaining since tutorial is malfunctioning.

Yeah, I am planning to circle back to those systems in a few episodes. Once I cover the basics, I will dedicate a number of episodes to actually playing through the early game in sequence with step by step explanations (first breathable room, airlock, a water system, first temperature control, getting food, etc) For atmosphere I've always used O2 and CO2 in some acceptable mix, with some tangential N left over from the oxite atmosphere approach I show in this video. Now some plants need a little N, so replentishing N may make sense. In the past I also did all my industry in a separate vacuum room so there was little risk of explosions with a high O2 atmosphere in my living quarters as I never handled Volatiles there. With the next update a lot of that may change as it will incentivize not being in your suit 24/7, so a breathable atmosphere in my industry room may be desirable.

If you remove CO2 and Pollutant from Mars air, you end up with the 64/36 gas mix you mention whichbis good enough for breathing. For a more realistic atmosphere you would want to get something like 23% oxygen, 2 percent CO2 and 75% nitrogen, but it has no effect ingame.
