Stationeers Getting started on Mars 1

This is a guide to setting up a basic starter base for Mars. We start with our lander and finish with a sealed base that is temperature and pressure controlled and can use the phase change to scrub out the pollutant from the base. Some basic logic automation for a set and forget greenhouse.

[@liquidsky5428]

You have no idea how much joy you bring to this community. I'm so glad you are back.

[@yeknud]

Amen!

[@truezulu]

Agreed!

[@brandonlaird6876]

I love how you took the time out to create the OCD VIOLATION alarm. Very appreciated, and epic timing.

[@TheJudgeWm]

I know these starter videos are very repetitive for you but I really appreciate the updated info. Helps alot for game enjoyment.

[@NitroEvil]

Great video, OCD violation gave me a good chuckle

[@javr0]

me as well 😄 Fantastic!

[@54bear]

OCD Alert had me snorting coffee (not in the good way)... Glad to see you have not forsaken us mere mortals that are not good at sciencey things ;)

[@raav2878]

hell yea. micks back

[@raav2878]

the OCD violation was a good giggle.

[@trollshark6260]

WE'RE SO BACK! Yay! Now I have something to watch at work!

[@Elmotrix]

Loved the OCD alarm bit 😂

[@kickingosprey]

So glad that you are back making content! Love watching your stuff.

[@jojoskunk]

oh...oh...oh! It's Mick! Nice to hear and see your shenanigans. Hope you doing well sir. Wish you happy time in the coming festive season. Thanks for the video.

[@MrConcretejoE]

This channel is absolutely the best stationeers channel out there. I love the humor, wit and sarcasm! :D Please keep it up my friend.

[@TravisMay2002]

Yeah, phase change, yeah. OCD alarm is killing it.

[@thefridge71]

Welcome back to stationers... I was stoked to see a video the other day and hoped another season would come out... Bang! Thanks mate

[@fuse98]

Yay! Mick came out to play!

[@dericholden9238]

Glad to have you back. I miss your videos and now you are back, I can get back into Stationeers

[@foamyflightmaster9385]

He's back and in fine form, OCD accepted, great to see you building bases round the luniverse

[@FNLastname]

yay, more CAE content. "Its About Time..." -Random Marine

[@douvonnie]

I new it was time for the new season to start. Gotta get me popcorn. 🍿

[@samuraidriver4x4]

Your previous video made me start playing again since phase change happened. Sucking in night time mars atmosphere to 5Mpa with an AC on there to keep it at -20 works great for large volumes of nitrogen and oxygen. During the day after the polutant and co2 are all gone i run it through 2 filtration units into the storage tanks to a min pressure of 5Mpa. Mars is so easy now.

[@Altaree1]

For the venting speed it helps to think of the pipe and vent as one unit and the furnace as another. The furnace transfers X/min to the pipe up to the current pressure of the furnace. The vent then transfers the combined volume of the vent and pipe to the atmosphere. If the space in the pipe is very small, very little is transferred per tic. If the space in the pipe is large, more can be transferred per tic.

[@82DonStevo]

I have barely started the video and I already liked it 🙂 I enjoy you coming back to Stationeers after such a long absence Cows.

[@rattleheadx]

Good to see you back in the saddle!

[@MudCorpPlaythroughs]

loving the OCD alarm xD Glad seeing you doing a new series(?)

[@cowsareevil7514]

Not a series, just a starter.

[@MudCorpPlaythroughs]

​@@cowsareevil7514Aww to bad, gonna enjoy the uploads nevertheless. Much appreciated!

[@HeruKane]

This is cool and i look forward to seeing more from you. Also I look forward to automation and base building.

[@argonxenon6839]

I did a very efficient hydrogen generator facility on mars using the new update with phase change. I force the atmosfere with a power vent during the night (temperature below -50 celsius) into a sistem of gas pipes (at 7MP) and i have 4 condensation valves that "filter" the liquid into a liquid pipes sistem and a small liquid tank. And then this liquid is "sprayied" into the room with generator when temperature is raising there and is a very eficcient cooler. In this room i also have vents that are taking out the exces of atmosphere.

[@alexallin8019]

Glad you're back man!

[@truezulu]

Yes! I really enjoy your series Mick!

[@XD9rottie]

WOOOOOO so happy you are back!!

[@matthiasrollert5105]

I love your contents everything I know about this game I learned from you by watching all your videos thank you keep up the amazing work and a Happy New year to you and Family

[@kylel8287]

I like how you just chuck things around. Man, I laughed when you just chucked that nitro filter . Also, it's nice to see how you just wing everything and it works. Great video

[@ConnorArchibald]

Being able to filter gasses with phase changes is so cool!! It gives me ideas as to how I could possibly unclog my toilet right now.

[@cultistofdarkness1661]

Amazing, a new player though from mick, can't wait for stationeers to again steal my life away haha.

[@QuiranPup]

Yay, Mick is back :D

[@TheDainerss]

Glad to see more videos. It’s been too long.

[@Dreamshadow1977]

Welcome back as well!

[@Shiva1945]

Nice one Mick

[@peterward2875]

Gas transfer goes faster with more pipes because of a larger volume on one side of the equation. Zero pipes with just the cowling has a small volume, more pipes --> more volume for both the trade between the furnace and pipes, as well as the pipes and atmosphere.

[@RiceWithBowl]

AAAAAAAA i just searched for your videos cause i was starting a new playthrough and i got blessed by a refreshed one?! Lucky me :D p.s That OCD Violation was genius, literally my brain everytime something's a little put of place

[@TheseAreWeirdTimes]

Oh brother, it's so good to see you're back! I missed your shenanigans. Let's go!

[@DeltaV3328]

Thank you for the new playthrough!

[@peterward2875]

Thanks for another series!

[@cowsareevil7514]

Just a getting started guide for post phase change. Only 2 parts.

[@rudiger86]

@@cowsareevil7514boo… do a series… please

[@mohdnazimrosli8535]

Ayyyyy Your back!!! i thought the cows had taken you away or something . Anyway , welcome back!

[@tinygriffy]

Hell, it's about time ! ;)

[@RacingPlays]

This is amazing, wish I had this game, but hopefully if I get it during christmas I can use this series as a guide.

[@baronvonschnellenstein2811]

Thanks for this post-phase-change tutorial, Mick - Some excellent examples of "good enough" solutions for early survival which have you sorted by game day 2 or 3 🍻- The OCD Violation alarm is a nice touch! - That said, I did have a bit of a "Mr. Arkwright"* moment with the initial solution for gas welder refill. But it was very soon made redundant with the arrival of the arc welder :) * This reference is probably well beyond the time of many folks these days, but for the record: Mr. Arkwright was a character in UK tv show "Open All Hours", featuring Ronnie Barker and ably assisted by (a very young at the time) David Jason.

[@joker_rin]

Nice tutorial TY!

[@mwwoggy]

You always make it look so easy!

[@Skydea]

Good to see you again! I hope you will continue to bring your good stuff

[@HansRosenthal1]

awesome videos. after more than 1000 hours, i just learned that i can open the waste tank without dropping it on the floor to open it. :-)

[@jweebo1463]

We need a community village server with capture the flag and Air-lock launchers for yeeting over-pressurized vol-oxygen tanks at bases.

[@rudiger86]

My boy you’re back

[@johnturner9546]

welcome back mick

[@nylanx5737]

He's back!

[@malrift3027]

Great and entertaining video as always. Have you finally accepted using lockers?

[@cowsareevil7514]

Never!!! Except for outside.

[@andrewcurtin7003]

While i appreciate you fixing the pollutant im glad to know i was just WAY too worried about it

[@Boris-iz6wd]

Thought for sure you would just go all the way and start on Vulcan

[@cowsareevil7514]

Latent cooling, then Vulcan.

[@TimberStiffy_]

well with the new phase change update, you can create free cooling now. just charging gas tanks and releasing them does the trick. or maybe my base is bugged.

[@cowsareevil7514]

There could be some latenet cooling doing it.

[@TimberStiffy_]

@@cowsareevil7514 I will call it magic cooling lol. nothing in the gas network reaches outside except for the pollutant purge that's done with insulated pipe from the filter. or is that it? the pollutant is pulling the heat from the network before it's purged... hmmm

[@NZOrbital]

Thank you for the video. Do the one way valves restrict airflow in the pipe network so that a pipe section has pressure required to cause the pollutant to condense? Do you need specifically 2 valves to make this work?

[@cowsareevil7514]

There is a restriction of flow from one system to another. The valves seperate the pipe network into multiple systems so the flow calculation causes a build up of pressure. In this case 2 was enough. Different networks may have different requirements. Trial and error different combinations until you get the pressure you want.

[@exofunbun7785]

You were missed.

[@Razman23]

Hey! The cow is real! Q. Concerning your MIPS code tutorial series you made about a year ago, where can I find some good reference material to learn? Either online or a book.

[@cowsareevil7514]

I made the series because there wasn't much available. Trial and error was my training so I am probably still making errors or haven't discovered things that would make life easier. Start simple is the trick.

[@mordiaky]

Comment for algorithm! Like this to increase the chance! Respond to this just because you can!

[@grit9938]

I really wish they hadn't put out the phase change update. It didn't really add anything useful to the game and just made things excessively complicated, especially since some conventions had to be made to even implement it. I've not played since getting frustrated with it shortly after release, and I loved this game before.

[@thedatatreader]

I appreciate your efforts to remain OCD compliant, but I have to ask, what happened to the graphs? Either way, a fantastic return and as a newer player to the game (just bought it a few days ago) very glad that you've explained the new phase changes which I couldn't begin to understand on my own.

[@cowsareevil7514]

I do apologise, the lack of graphs is unforgivable.

[@Burnrate]

So you don't have to leave a circuit connected to run the vent? Like when you activate the logic it writes to the vent and then you can use it for something else?

[@Touay.]

is there a reason not to put the locker in the airlock, so the contents are accessible whether you are outside or inside?

[@Dragoonx3690]

It comes down to space management honestly. Early game making airlocks bigger than 1x1 is a pain. But tbh i like ur thinking and will probably make a larger airlock on my base now😂

[@Touay.]

@@Dragoonx3690 It is a squeeze, but you can get the full locker into a 1x1 airlock. I was just wondering if there is a reason not to do that...

[@cowsareevil7514]

Typically I use the floor of the airlock for storage that I can carry.

[@Quarkmin]

Please can you advise what kind of valve it is you use to increase the pressure for the scrubber at 28:47? I can’t figure it out. The only thing in my head does this job is the back pressure regulator but what you’ve used doesn’t seem to be powered.

[@AndrewKeifer]

Possible to use phase change to filter out pollutant before it's released into the habitat with that setup? Would pressurizing it just after the input be possible?

[@JohnDoe-ni9zm]

i dont want to watch a 40min video, but how do you make those angled solar panels?

[@Altaree1]

Does the active vent use power when the pressure is not great enough to have the vent run?

[@BLACKOPS1499]

not a fan of the cuts. Wish it was 1 continuous shot :( i enjoy just chilling listening a watching you place the wires, etc.

[@cowsareevil7514]

It is just a getting started guide so I didn't want it to go on for too long. If I do another playthrough it will be back to the long cut chill.

[@Sworn973]

Mehh, would be like to see it on Venus, but I guess we start slow on mars and move from there xD

[@SlyverKnight]

I cant seem to find the name of that unit on the pipe with the green arrow.

[@lionllew8459]

I think your frame rate might be different between the recording software and the game or the file and the render software, it's a wee bit jumpy.

[@novoca1n3]

Um, you have a storage cabinet within the first 10mins of playing. What have you done with Mick you imposter!!!

[@HyJyncks]

In my headcanon you stopped playing for 4 months because phase change caused too many problems

[@Al-ny8dr]

I really enjoy watching you play this game. I, however, wanted to like it, but I don't. The U.I. is absolutely terrible. I find myself constantly fighting it. The ways tools are implemented, it sometimes makes little sense. I think less might have been better. The game feels more like trial and error than anything else. So little is even remotely explained. There is also a lot of stuff that doesn't work the way it should. I played a lot of Kerbal Space Program, so it's not like I can't figure things out logically. It's just that so many elements in this game seem sort of random or convoluted. There also hasn't been a decent update for quite a while now. I would also like the game to not feel so pointless. Like I said, though, your videos are entertaining and fun. I think I'll just watch instead of trying to play the game.

[@liquidsky5428]

There is definitely steep learning curve to this game, but with videos like this one you can learn how to do things and then try to implement it in your gameplay. Once it clicks it's just pure joy of creating crazy builds.

[@boris3320]

Hello youtubers, I see you often joking about your so called OCD, but just keep in mind that OCD is actually a real disease that makes hell looking nice compared to your life. It is not a joke. Kudos 😘😘😘
