Survival Impossible - Space Engineers Hardcore Survival

The beginning of a new survival series where it's more than just the pirates that are out to kill me, the very environment wants me dead.
This is Space Engineers survival in hard mode, using some custom mods made by me and a collection of others from the awesome SE community this scenario should push my engineering skills to the limit while also creating opportunities for some really unique design solutions.

Nothing in particular as far as I'm aware, but he's not present in this episode. Whether he'll eventually be part of that specific series is another matter entirely, but so far I'd place my bets on "no" since it seems to be the successor to the previous _singleplayer_ series.

[@mattp1337]

Capac will no doubt be waiting when you touch down on the Earth-like planet (~1 year from now). And he'll say, "What took you so long? I saw you crash land on the alien planet and considered coming to rescue you in the Super Capactron 8000 but then I thought 'it'll be fine'."

Congratulations on surviving your first day! Glad to see the return of a lone survival series. As much as I enjoy the various collaborative videos/streams you’ve been involved with, there’s a certain feeling of ‘back to classic Splitsie’ about this installment. Really looking forward to more!

[@Splitsie]

Thanks :) I'm really looking forward to the opportunity to build stuff as I want to and take my time, which I really can't do with Capac running off to collect unknown signals all the time :P

[@RedSavann]

Thank you for releasing this scenario on the workshop! It was a blast. Such a challenge. I had forgotten how the food/drink work, took me HOURS to learn the in's and out's. That the wind turbines were turned down or there was next to no wind, and that jetpacks didn't work. That falling from 2 blocks could kill you. And that stone didn't give as much resources. Never found iron or nickel, so had to dig out like a 10x10x10 block hole in the ground for what I needed for a rover and a small drill rig. Just finished a 24hr stream and 18.5 hours of that was to get off the planet! Loved this scenario!

[@Skallabjorn]

Thank you very much Splitsie for making Daily Needs a big part of this hard core survival stream series... Cheers!

[@MegaGordon2011]

Looking forward to this series. To make the basic assembler viable you could increase the power consumption of the advanced assembler. That way it would be more efficent to create the basic components in the basic assembler and only use the advanced one when you need special parts.

[@Splitsie]

That's a good thought, could be a small bonus where it's more power efficient except for when it's got some power efficiency modules :)

[@martindixon54]

I'm only a minute in and I'm already wondering why I didn't get to see the part where Splitsie let Shack drive the escape pod...

@@Splitsie I've seen Shack's driving, the escape pod is probably in better shape.

One trick I learned (as finding Cobalt is always difficult) is using an advanced rotor to place large small-block cargo containers on large-block grids.

Interesting settings and challenge. And it's nice to see some work done on challenge and obstacles that needs to be overcome with engineering… addressing the main fundamental Space Engineer design flaw: the lack of challenges. We'll see how it goes, but I'm interested to see the next episodes. Good luck!

[@Splitsie]

Thanks, it's difficult to come up with engineering challenges that don't add too much 'grind' but I tried to come up with an engineering solution before I added any of the challenges so that there was at least one method of getting around the grind if you're clever about your approach :)

[@kpd8726]

YES! This is awesome. Really awesome. I can feel the O2/H2 struggle even just by watching you to pla... I mean struggle to survive. I feel its kinda 'next season' of Survival Maybe series, or rather standalone spin-off series. What happened in Maybe series last episode is followed by what is going on in this new series. Really love it.

[@Splitsie]

I'm trying to think of a good analogy in a sci fi TV series but none feel quite right, the best I can come up with is that it's like Survival Maybe was original Star Trek and this is TNG, the world's have mostly the same rules but there are new challenges to face :P

[@EddieMagpie]

Can anyone else hear a distant echo of a Capac "Grrrr!". He'd be driven crazy by the harsh changes haha

[@_harbinjer]

just hope the scenario is on the workshop, ready to play!

[@Splitsie]

Thanks Arie :) It will be on the workshop, but isn't just yet. I've got a couple of reasons for holding off, but the main one is that I want to start people for the scenario in a slightly different area to where I'm starting so that I don't get too many comments telling me where all the ore is located, I'm expecting the search to be a bit of a challenge and looking forward to working out techniques to help me find stuff :)

[@mattp1337]

Full refineries not being able to process stone seems like a brilliantly simple rebalance tweak for the vanilla game. Hopefully someone at KSH is paying attention.

[@Splitsie]

They seemed to be with the removal of uranium from the earthlike for survival maybe, so who knows, it could happen :)

[@bigolbearthejammydodger6527]

Looks like a great new series, Im looking forward to see how this develops. Best of luck out there chap. Regarding stone being refined for iron, nickel and silicon - Yes, I feel that same way. What id really like to see is a mod that provides trace elements from refining stone. So If there is Iron and Gold nearby then the stone mined from that location should give small amounts of Iron and Gold - Would couple very well with the removal of ore detectors.

[@Splitsie]

That would be seriously cool and give a whole new element of gameplay going around prospecting to find your minerals :)

[@thedatatreader]

Thank you for reminding me why I play with so many difficulty/immersion mods. It's not just masochism or a difficulty curve but to introduce a greater variety to the gameplay and to make EVERY feature useful throughout.

3x inventory and having to carry 2 bottle all the time is HARD! I run 3x on all my worlds and it is quite the challenge.

[@Splitsie]

It was quite difficult trying to decide what was going to make the engineering more difficult and interesting and what just makes things take longer without adding challenge. I've got grid inventory at realistic but I like the engineer to at least be able to carry a moderate amount so you don't have to choose between carrying bottles or carrying components, especially given how quickly the O2 runs out :P

[@vanhelsing8703]

first of all.. i love your series splitsie.. keep up your nice work, it's really fun to watch! Secondly if you want some exitement from dead without to erease your whole world you could add an extra challenge. Something like when you die you can't pick up your body. So you really need to think what reserves you need do keep in your base like tools and bottles and later on what you take with you to raid a base. And you need to be really cautious when you got some valueble materials in your inventory.

[@Splitsie]

I'll be interested to see just how tough getting my stuff back will be anyway, without a jetpack if I die away from base, without a vehicle it'll be next to impossible to get back to my things in time anyway so I will need to remember to prepare myself accordingly :)

Hope you have fun with it, I'm already really enjoying the challenge. I'm also going to publish a scenario with all the mods and a different landing site some time soon so you can play along with the same setup :)

[@trivalentclan-mizar9591]

Tour guide forgot about his oxygen… currently rewatching/listening to the entire series over again from the start.

[@Splitsie]

Hope you enjoy the re-watch, new episodes will be coming soon as I'm moving into my new place next week :)

[@dunkan44]

Nice start! That roll down the mountain could have gone so bad if the survival kit had been damaged, you are a braver man then me!

[@Splitsie]

It really could have, might have been a funny outtake if it went truly horribly and forced a restart though :D

[@KrimsonStorm]

Really enjoying the start of this series. I really like the wind turbine nerf... Honestly I think they provide WAAAY too much power.

[@Splitsie]

Completely agree :)

[@dwood1997]

OMG I love you guys so much please keep up the good work I wish in the worst possible way that I had a computer capable of space engineers, but since I don't I love watching you guys play for hours at a time!

[@_harbinjer]

4 words, go fund me page. SE is that good that people will give you money so you can play it ;) I'm sure you will get the chance to play it yourself at some point and after watching these videos you will know more then most, cheers!

[@dwood1997]

@@_harbinjer I appreciate the idea but hopefully when I start school eventually I will use the money to get me a half decent computer and I'm sure I could spare a copy of the game, but that is not a bad idea of the wanting to get a KZbin channel off the ground for a while now and that might be a good way to do it!

[@Splitsie]

Hopefully you get that chance to play soon, until then I'll do my best to entertain :)

[@biglit6855]

This is great, another series that I`l watch with gladness, Your videos as always well appreciated !

[@Splitsie]

Thanks :)

[@oscill8ocelot]

This is uncanny; I just started binge-rewatching your earlier solo LP and wishing you'd start another one - lo and behold, here we are. ^.^

[@Splitsie]

Love some good timing :)

[@Skreedence]

Yay, my Saturday mornings are great again!

[@Splitsie]

Excellent :)

[@will9728]

Sweet, I like the challenge this scenario presents. Looking forward to this series Splitsie!

[@Splitsie]

Thanks Will, hopefully there will be some fun engineering to come :)

[@robrobillard5682]

Looking forward to watch this series. It will be interesting to see you build some of your creations with death always looming right around the corner. After watching this I was thinking it would be awesome for one of your tutorials to show us fellow engineers how to create the solar system like you have is this series

[@Splitsie]

I hope to do some more tutorials on how to mod SE, the next tutorial I'm working on is on how to make content packs for the modular encounters spawner :)

[@robrobillard5682]

@@Splitsie Awesome. Due to your videos I have started to play with scripts. One small step for me, nothing gained by mankind lol

[@Macil2018]

Why are there only 2 of these so far?! Get on it! LOL! This is the most entertaining Space Engineers video series I've seen to date so far! =) Keep it up!

[@Splitsie]

I'm glad you're enjoying it, there will be another one this weekend :)

[@Macil2018]

Praise the space engineer gods! :)

[@cerusa827]

Exciting series. My daughter and I are very excited to see what happens

[@Splitsie]

Thanks Ben, I hope you both enjoy it :)

[@cantstandya3761]

I'm usually a watch-only-vanilla-LP-guy, but you really added (and argued for) elements in the game that is really lacking (or atleast should be options); this is a great idea you put up, and can't wait to get into the series.

[@Splitsie]

Thanks, I'd spent a fair bit of time thinking about things I could add that would have a solution that could be engineered. I didn't want to add any slow grind that couldn't be dealt with through some clever building and so far I feel like it's working out :)

[@Thoron_of_Neto]

Rewatching the series now that it's back, and I'm smiling at all of Splitsies thoughts on doing this all on one life. I don't believe you've died yet, and you're 59 episodes in, very nice!

[@Splitsie]

There was that time with the surfing of the drone and a shortage of water :P

[@Thoron_of_Neto]

@@Splitsie Oh shoot, you're right! Well still, one time in 59 Episodes, not too shabby!

[@TubeTAG]

I don't watch much of your non-tutorial or explanation content, but this particular set of mods and ideas is very similar to the way I personally like to play. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

[@Splitsie]

Thanks :)

[@williamcaldwell758]

I really love that timelapse at the end.

[@Splitsie]

Thanks, I've continued that for every episode so far in the hope that I'll have enough footage for something epic in the future :)

[@TheBeltline49525]

Great new series! I would've died 8 as in ur video, I get distracted so easily. Oh , look shiney thing! Can't wait until the next one!

[@Splitsie]

I'm sure it won't be long before I get distracted just enough to completely suffocate :P

[@KrKesomackan]

Third time rewatching this ongoing series!

[@Pecomica]

Great start on a new series. Looking forward to see how you cope with the challenges you put for youself. One question. In the end you mentioned about power for the lander, and the idea of maybe putting a solar panel on it. Why not do the same on your temp base? Right now, you have enough power to run the assembler, but nothing else. Add some solar panels to your tower, or build a new one so you can use the sun to recharge your temp base batteries when you get around to build them. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@Splitsie]

Thanks :) I'm expecting I'll build some solar soon, if for nothing else than to check if they'll be better than the wind turbines as I'm not sure on the comparison after my nerfing :P

[@mailleweaver]

I'm glad you're not giving up on singleplayer like so many other KZbinrs eventually do. As an introvert, I much prefer the intimacy and simplicity of singleplayer series over multiplayer. Two-player is okay some of the time, but more than that is too chaotic. There have been lots of people I've just stopped watching over the years because they stopped doing singleplayer videos.

[@Splitsie]

Thanks, I like to have some single player time because there are things I can build in single player that are just impossible in multiplayer due to distractions and things like that. I'm really excited to be starting this series where everything gets to be done as I like it without compromise :)

[@PeteLittle1970]

Your constant struggle for oxygen at the start reminded me of the 1964 movie "Robinson Crusoe on Mars" .. all you need now for the 2019 reboot is Capac in a chimpanzee suit.. ... .... ;)

[@Splitsie]

lol that would be hilarious :D

[@m80wulf]

the timelaps at the end of everything to have done is epic

[@Splitsie]

Thanks, I'm hoping to continue those for every episode of this series - at least the ones where some building happens :)

[@danielwalley3745]

really enjoyed this new episode and really really looking forward to future ones, x

[@Splitsie]

Thanks Daniel :)

[@limskikorsikov5907]

Good to see a new survival series. keep up the good work.

[@Splitsie]

Thanks :)

[@tsabito]

Great idea for a series, I will eagerly wait for every new episode! :D For an idea, I would put some wheels on that survival pod, and hook it up to the base with a connector or a rotor to recharge ;) Maybe even a drill, and make it your mobile survival base :D Ofc only if you are confidant in your driving, and do not fear to lose your only mean to respawn :P

[@Splitsie]

You've seen my driving, I fear you're looking for something funny to happen here ;)

[@tsabito]

@@Splitsie You always describe your driving as bad, but as I can tell you drove a truck around in the dark, for almost a year, you built and drove 2 joined tank through extreme terrain, and the only time you damaged any of your wheeled vehicle was in your own hangar, when you were rushing :D So I belive in your driving skills! ps.: I'm not counting the Wrong Way down streams because there too you try to rush a bit, to keep it interesting, and also reading the chat.

[@stevendensmore5801]

Splitsie I think you have created the perfect balance for this game. I feel the same way about processing rock. In my games I always limit rock processing to survival kits only. Can’t wait to see what you have done for NPC/drone/enemy interaction.

[@Splitsie]

I'm hoping it'll be a few episodes at least before I run into any drones, I've got assertive installations running already :D

[@Comito126]

Well this will certainly be interesting. Can't wait to see how you handle these new challenges!

[@Splitsie]

It should be fun :)

[@MrAracag]

I just got back into SE after a fairly long hiatus and remembered that I had a lot of fun with my own version of the GUFI. So I decided to scroll through just a few minutes of the relative episodes to remind me how to build it... Now I'm re-watching the series and trying out my own version of this playthrough. Good times!

[@Splitsie]

Glad you're enjoying it again :)

[@ZMacZ]

4:27 Instead of taking risk with survival kit going boom, you can use some basic cube frames to create a path. You need roughly 20 steel plates for that, easey peasey.

[@Gilbert387]

You've done something I've been wanting to do since I started playing Space Engineers. My play through I've been wanting to do is a desert planet with heavy gravity, low oxygen or no oxygen, little or hard to find ice, would like wolves and/or spiders if they worked right, AI opponents. I do look forward to watching you in yours, sorry I didn't get to watch it until today to start the series but I'll catch up LoL. You could make it slightly harder and have it as a race to get home with other players LoL but I know that would be a bit harder to schedule with people at times. Well happy survival and I'm off to watch your second video in the series.

[@Splitsie]

I do hope to one day find a few people who would be up for a 'race home' survival challenge, though I might have to gradually bring them in using vanilla-esque settings first ;)

[@sebas2571]

started watching this series today and i already miss Capac :D, you guys were funny together

[@LargelyUnemployed]

Hey splitsie! Hope you see this. A great way to stop the classic "too much oxygen" problem when pressurising areas is to isolate the vents from the rest of the system. I usually build my vents with their own tanks behind them. I then fill these with an O2 farm. If you weld these up before you start on your scaffolding they'll be ready to go by the time you're done.

[@LargelyUnemployed]

This means you can infinitely recycle the same oxygen in a room, as your tanks don't refill until you depressurise it.

[@Splitsie]

Yep, I'll probably need to set up something like that. Its something I haven't messed with as much as I have other areas, so you may see some derping when I get to it :)

[@RedGallardo]

If only I had another life to spend on watching letsplays. I'd really watch this one. =(

[@Genjokoan]

I have been subscribed for a while and now I just realized what I like about your videos. You are barking mad! ;) . Not that there is anything wrong with that! Super gravity would be such a buzz kill without the "immortal" bit flipped on.

[@Splitsie]

It's such a nice driver for engineering design, I'm hoping it'll push me to create some weird and wonderful things :D

[@IamCoalfoot]

I actually _lost_ this scenario right off, by: 1) Pressing F while falling... to my death. 2) Not knowing how to use the Daily Needs mod and starving to death. 3) Losing all power in my drop pod, which was supplying my oxygen, _dying_ of asphyxiation and not having a respawn point. I reloaded an earlier save and haven't lost since, but it's been fun so far. xD

[@teddy5004]

Basic assembler idea - only assembler in the game that can build interior plates and quickest way to build Const Comps.

[@Splitsie]

I thought about that as an option, but the lack of upgrade modules for the basic assembler would make the production quite tedious so I was hesitant to do so :/ Were I better at modding and had any skill in 3d modelling I could have worked out how to add upgrade points to the basic which would remove that argument, but alas I have none of that skill :(

[@teddy5004]

@@Splitsie Sadly I'm going to school for that but I dont have the skill yet xD maybe if you reach out to your community you could ask? There are plenty of mod communities like Isy I'm sure people would love to do some coop mods!

[@Sekira19]

Advanced Welding and AwwScrap, good man ;) Love the new series Splitsie. Looking forward to you scaffolding your way to victory! Though I did not spot any wing mods, given the Gravity of the situation it seemed apropos, in lieu of that however I shall defer to your obsession of rotating cylinders at high radial velocities :P

[@Splitsie]

Thanks :) No wing mods, I find they've always made making something fly too cheap (from a power perspective). So I figured I'd have to work out whether atmospheric thrusters are even worth using when they have to work that hard to carry anything or if I'm going to need hydrogen for most things :)

[@Sekira19]

@@Splitsie Yea I figured as much :) I was thinking that IF the wing mod functioned accurately either the vehicle's stall speed would be hilariously high or have a wingspan of.. memorable proportions. Now here's back to hoping Evil Splitsie didn't NERF HOW MUCH H2 WE GET FROM ICE cause that... would be so much ice 0_0
