Turning 7 Old Ships into my New Space Station in Space Engineers ep 16

[@neztx321]

I have less than 50hrs in Space Engineers, so I'm learning through trial and LOTS of error. The fact that you leave in mistakes is a very good and refreshing reason to watch...thank you for the content!

[@Truth-of-the-matter]

It took me probably 50 hours to figure out how to get into space. My mistake is that I was using atmospheric thrusters and eventually I'd run out of thrust and come crashing down. After I started using hydrogen getting to space was super easy. Once you have a solid ground base everything is relatively easy.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

Glad you’re enjoying the vids and find them useful. We all learn form experience and mistakes are a great teacher.

[@ViciousMink]

Nice job! The station is looking great, the build montages worked out well, and I don't blame you at all for reverting after that collision!

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

Thanks! It was cool to see it though. 😂

[@pularis1629]

@@SurvivalBobGamingI was literally gonna make a comment saying I know I’m last but I don’t blame you if you want to revert the crash

[@leonielson7138]

If you scroll on the window wheel, you'll get to an inverted selection, and you can put inverted glass on either side of the leak, which should seal the leak.

[@Phenom_Lightwing]

Middle click the block to add it to build planner faster. No click and drag or hitting plus to accomplish the goal.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

😳🤯🫡

[@grillbears]

Well that was exciting. Got to acquire that oxygen farm between the solar panels for myself. Acquisitions and Merge blocks for the win.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@farfidnugn69]

Lets go! Thanks for the videos.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

Wow! Thanks so much! I’m glad you are enjoying them!

[@kitsueb]

I'm still catching up, fun series so far. Now that you have a utility ship it's time to learn about the middle buttons! There are several buttons *between* the left and right inventory panes: One pulls Build Planner items LR. If you set your left pane to ship cargo and filter to current grid (spaceship icon at the top) to quickly load/unload. The buttons also respect the current search filters, handy if you have your cargos named. Edit: that ship arrival 😆

[@runic135]

The gold Unidentified Signal is for Global encounter. its the reason its so far away(2310 Kilometers), there are still the green unknow signals. they are a lot closer.

[@TheNighttimeGamer215]

been playing along side you. im having a blast been thinking of doing some videos too

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

Awesome! You should go do it!

[@HungLikeScrat]

There's a really nice mod that allows you to build H2 farms alongside the O2 farms. It's one of my favorite mods ever. And, as far as your windows go, they do (unfortunately) have to all face the same way in order to be air-tight. There might be an inverted piece of glass you can swap in?

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

I'll check it out!

[@grandgab]

Sometimes it's better to do it the hard way instead of the fast way.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

The fast way seems to be the hard way for me. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔

[@aramagon7011]

i've done a few of these over the years lol its fun but i want to also retro fit a station i find with the new blocks as well as change it up a bit.

[@OfficiaINebula]

God I was so waiting to see that ship explode the space station. Next time bob turn precision mode on when it comes to going to a signal because it will slow down before it arrives instead of trying to slow down when it gets there

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

I bet I won’t forget that again! 😆

[@jazzkyrie]

glass should be in the same "layer" to be air tight

[@lostscotsman]

Look at adding "Leak Finder" by Digi, it's a great QoL mod.

[@lordrodney-oldschoolgamer9106]

Question for the Bobonians: Bob was using a display for his to-do punchlist which I loved, on PS5 is there any way yet to do a "carriage return" yet?

[@TheJohnWick8]

Good tutorials without being a tutorial series keep up the good work. Also, what mods are you using?

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

Thanks! The mod list is in the description now.

[@SordidEuphemism]

Bob, your station keeps getting knocked around in your timelapses. Is it still set to "station" vs "ship"?

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

It did get switch at some point but I switched it back

[@phforNZ]

*sigh* about to sit down and work out some stuff on my new build... annnnnd new video notification. haha edit (one, probably) - nothing wrong with the trusty old merge block. I know how to use the modded stuff, but honestly the merge blocks are generally good enough

[@justinaz282]

31:06 LMAO

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

That’s why you don’t skip out early on my vids. 😆

[@arcamean785]

I was going to build a blueprint of a battlebarge but it's really hard to create my vision without ending using a "borg cube" Plus not sure if a small grid or large grid would look better.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

I know the feeling

[@arcamean785]

@@SurvivalBobGaming I'll keep trying though if only to add my contribution to the series as the content is appreciated. edit: YT will not let me link directly so you'll have to search the workshop for "Bob's (little) BattleBarge Mk1". It's awful it sorta flies but by goodness it's armed to the teeth it's just not well armored as otherwise it stops in about 2-3 business days. edit: YT's been kinda strange for me lately so apologies if that got spammed.

[@Controlled_Insanity_003]

Put more oxygen farms on your solar array

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

First time using Oxygen farms how man do I need? I have 4 full o2 tanks currently

[@michaelholland1012]

​@SurvivalBobGaming that many full tanks you probably don't even need to worry for awhile. I believe it takes 2 fully operational (max sun all the time) to keep you alive in space. If you turn off your oxygen tanks when you process ice it all goes to hydrogen and you can use just the farms for breathing. I've used less than 10% of a small tank that was full in like 6 hours of play. Maybe more.

[@einfachfelixo.o]

The ship at 31:00 didn't dock at the station, it ARRIVED!

[@einfachfelixo.o]

Also if Ryanair were to fly space ships:

[@Controlled_Insanity_003]

Hey Bob, when did y'all get engaged?
