Surviving in a cave from the drones on the surface - Space Engineers

With Twitch chat able to call in the nice and the nasty, survival will hopefully take on a whole new element of challenge as I progressively improve the mods and make them meaner each week.

If you dont like using thebwind turbines underground, switch to hydrogen engines. You are surrounded by ice and it will force you to be out of your cave more often.

[@CT-1035]

One problem with the idea, he would need to constantly grab ice, and if he forgets, he could loose power, and then might not be able to make enough hydrogen to restart the generator to power the O2/H2 gen

[@Flipsie]

I suppose to avoid that I could just leave a little red battery fully charged at all times :P

[@kelemvour]

@@Flipsie Do not mock the glorious Red Battery! Ohm Ohm Ohm!

[@bosskeith1]

I am confused, is Flipsie the same as Splitsie? To me they sound the same, I just came from binging the escape series trilogy.

[@thegovernor184]

@bosskeith1 yes, most of what Splitsie streams on Twitch gets uploaded to Flipsie, the Splitsie youtube channel is for his normal videos created for KZbin.

[@rickatccleader1118]

Oh i love the idea of having a mod, that spawns evil Capac Clones (and to be fair - Splitsie Clones) that come and fight with guns, "Fun" music, and recorded Speeches. A great Addition to TFE´s mod "MES Zebra Monkeys Mercenaries". This would be sooo much fun, a worthy Challenge to fight the ZebraMonkeys - in full glory.

[@TheClaw47]

"Chat offering emotional support" I love the reference. Now I might need to watch Light Echos again.

[@SebRomu]

Splitsie's near suicidal drone kill reminds me of my first ACS encounter. I mobility killed a drone, and tried to hack it's remote control with my grinder... BIG MISTAKE!

[@Flipsie]

Lol 🤣

[@RichardSelf-ew6bv]

For a series like this, might i suggest using the "no standings change" mod? This way the chat boxes dont go red, and you won't get "on the good side" of other NPCs.

[@elminster8149]

I think some vertical mineshafts would be an interesting addition as well.

[@maleficentia8390]

Spawn more baddies instead of decoys, *i mean chat support boxes* and they can rocket their way to making him some vertical shafts.

[@robthesasquatch6482]

No time for good sense!" sounds suspiciously like a Capac quote lol

[@AzureSeiryuu]

i love Splitsie's famous last word "oh no i forgot a gyro"

[@Blade_of_Violet_Chaos]

That's up there with the Dark Souls "I forgot the doooooooll!!!"

[@daz8405]

Assuming things last long enough and you go full interior-decor on your base - how about setting up an emergency lock-down mode, with blast doors and pop-out turrets? You also need an emergency exit/entrance... If you can't get the AI bots to do it, maybe a few 'friendly bots' would volunteer to storm your base for you, for... Fun... While what you're playing here wouldn't work as a scenario as such, could you give us a mod-list to recreate a (limited) version of this just using MES' spawning mechanics?

[@STSWB5SG1FAN]

@33:10 In my head I'm screaming "Your helmet, open your gar-don helmet!!! Ya got oxy there, OPEN YOUR DAMN HELMET!!" Glad he made it anyway, thought this was going to be another remake of the infamous 'Drone ride of Doom' 😄🤗😄

[@Flipsie]

I was running out of power not oxygen, because it's too hot 🥵

[@marcoflumino]

SplitSie, I decided to pump up Your Assertive Acquisitions Scenario, with all your mods in, I also inserted nearly all the factions I found in the mod list! Started on the moon. The moment I spawned I get the message target acquired????.... I looked up in fear.... And with my surprise and delight, 2 off the factions started pummelling each other! One of the ships crashed nearly 8km away from my position.... So looks like I got un unforeseen advantage in scrap! ;)

[@hadeshades2365]

13:05 I learned my dog by demonstrating. I was told to bark and got a fake reward. Then he was told to bark. At first he didn’t want to…. But we got him. As a side thing we didn’t know how he sounded until then because he never barked.

[@dovakiinwolfe2491]

I play SE on Playstation my brother got me into it He helped me understand it then i found Splitsie's getting started tutorial and learned so much more and now i have about 800 hours on SE Love the game Thank you for the tutorial Splitsie it helped so much

[@CptTiki]

Loved the stream Splits! You need a thumbnail like Dr Strangelove - Engineer riding a drone down :D

[@Kevin_watches_too_much_Youtube]

Always love a Splitsie video to start my morning!

[@maleficentia8390]

"You expect this thing to survive more than 1 battle?" - Its Flipsie, be suprised it survives his driving.

[@justinbollaert2253]

I enjoyed this stream for the insight of how you set up scenarios, thanks 👍

[@STSWB5SG1FAN]

@01:34:05 at any other time, in any other scenario, finding lots and lots of gold would be a good thing. 😁😆

[@Ben-wi4ww]

Gold is just a new Gravel 🤪

[@Umeshu365]

A future space engineers update might add even more personal weapons. Like a shotgun. It would be neat if we would need gravel to make shotgun ammo which would be funny if you think about Splitsies talk about gravel being ammo

[@samuraidriver4x4]

Bit dissapointed the disco detector isn't really disco. It needs bling and spinning 😂 There is also the option to mod more range into the small and large grid detector. Hope i get the chance to catch an episode of this on twitch, seems to be great fun.

[@gum__]

I think "the turtle" is a good name for your little attack vehicle, for it rolled on its back and couldn't get back up (without help) 🙂

[@SvetzBowman]

Can't wait to see what you've done! I love your stuff! I just finished an underground scenario (killer lightning above ground) and it was okay... but a little depressing to be underground without a decent backdrop.

[@billt4394]

I build large grid fighters utilizing the Build and Repair mod and a projector. Fill the cargo containers with a few bits and bob, then go hunting. Oh, and eat the kills.

[@mandyspence1599]

You know what they say, Splitsie - Pride comes before a fall and the fall before a gyro...

[@launchpadengineering7749]

similar to my worlds I play. . . . minus the Armageddon mode, daily needs, robot raiders, Reavers etc to step up the PVE difficulty. love your stuff

[@jkirkwood2018]

for the way you use the rover to drill, you should put the connector on "Collect All"

[@JudgeKane]

Still hoping for a full Scrapyard series with Capac 'helping'

[@Fuzzlewhumper]

Watched episode 3 and was like, wow...he's getting proper bombed. Zipped over to this to watch proper and laughed out loud "Where you get to control some of the spawns." OH! It's one of those series. BRB, getting popcorn. Okay, ready! Have at em boys.

[@Flipsie]

lol :D

[@roadtrain_]

Love how after all these years the lotus is still terrifying for everyone.

[@Spartan0381]

When you left the rover behind, I couldn't help thinking of your Empyrion base being hacked. Good thing the bots can't hack your equipment :D

[@jerrebrasfield4231]

I do like that flipsie is brutally honest in this.

[@kuhljager2429]

This is going to be a good watch -- 4 hours of chat murdering Splitsie. Can't wait to get through it

[@cmelton6796]

I think it'd be interesting if the hostiles started sending armed ground vehicles after you someday. Sure you can hide from the spaceships, but you aren't quite as safe when Mr. M1 Abrams comes to chat about your base's extended warranty.

[@beardedzeus1337]

Oooh this seems like an interesting new series once you get everything sorted. Also whats the keybind to paint the entire grid in the selected color?

[@Flipsie]

Ctrl+shift+mmb for whole grid 🙂

[@WanderingOutsideGuy]

would love to see a drone that dropped warheads with a smaller yield to spice things up a bit.

[@KeithOlson]

At 1:18:18, lines 281 *AND* 282 set MinDroneDistance. I'm pretty sure that 282 should be setting '_Max_DroneDistance'.

[@baronvonschnellenstein2811]

Some fun ideas here with the stream integration. So, two new serie and "I don't want to be a mole person" Splitsie is building underground bases again, lol. Granted, this one is a more rustic "set up some freestanding gear in a cavern" 😉 I'll have to stick to joining in on the carnage after the fact since on principle, I generally don't "do" twitch.

[@Brysett]

@Flipsie At around 1:18:11 in the video, it shows MinDroneDistance twice. Shouldn't it be 1 Min and 1 Max distance? (Note: Posted at that time, before I watch the rest, so I don't know if you address it later)

[@Flipsie]

It probably should but since I copied the definition straight from Lucas's mod I don't think it was the cause of the bug. TFE did coach me through some stuff after the stream though and I have the raider pods spawning properly now :)

[@unclegreybeard3969]

@ 3:16:00 it was a gift drop that exploded. I would make sandbags from the containers.

[@rustyreese4006]

Well, the improvised combat vehicle survived its first battle, but cannot survive splitsies driving ability, or lack of proper planning.

[@GhostOfSnuffles]

Those new wheels are incredibly janky. The wheels catch constantly on the suspension unless you turn down the wheel turning angle to around half the vanilla setting. I found it out the hard way when i replaced the wheels on a rover design i'd used for years and it would randomly flip the rover when i was traveling at speed or stop it dead in it's tracks if trying to turn at slow speeds. It's definitely an issue with the wheels catching on the suspensions because i tested it to where the suspension was sticking out several blocks from the side of the rover, much further then the stock suspension, and it still would glitch out despite it being physically impossible for the wheels to catch on anything except the suspension itself. It's kind of a shame since i really like he discrete look of the new design.

[@ewancarr]

Underground base again, full circle.....

[@dei_walker]

This is a great episode! We go from Bored Splitsie to Please Don't Let Die!!!

[@NowThatsRadio]

Solar panels that clip through voxels produce power all day and night😊

[@katernis]

Oh new survi series. AWESOME 😎

[@shanemaddocks703]

To get your dog to bark on command. Get your girlfriend to bark when you give the command infront of the dog. Do that a couple times. Then tease the dog with the treat and get your girlfriend to bark again on command after teasing your dog. The dog will mostly bark out of frustration. Then reward the dog. Pretty easy way with out using another dog to copy. P.s. this is assuming you have your girlfriend trained

The bots grouped up and waited for right time to attack

[@danielwalley3745]

this was my first experience playing your first iteration of your assertive mod. x

[@Flipsie]

Lol

[@reneeeclipse]

That music drop with the bots 😂

[@stevedean2516]

That was pretty cool, I'd watch more. To give yourself more of a challenge you could have started without the cave and dug one out.

[@Flipsie]

The main reason to start with the cave is that a properly dug one will never be smooth enough for regular driving so I figured using voxel hands before the start of the series would be better and give me something that I could drive on at higher speeds when being chased, now all I've got to do is add more things to make me run away :D

I miss the drones from Survival Unlikely.

[@nvfury13]

With that title, my thought was “Another trip to the moon?”

[@Flipsie]

Lol that's the vibe I'm going to get as I improve the mods 🙂

[@nvfury13]

@@Flipsie The feeling of not being sure even thirty block thickness of voxel is enough to save you from the enemy? Nice! I enjoyed the combination of absolute panic that the base was about to be exposed and destroyed any moment and build/decorating downtimes that came with the moon portion of Survival Unlikely.

[@Flipsie]

Honestly, so did I. Not sure Capac felt the same way but he learnt a lot during it :D

[@zylechaos906]

saw some great integration, the guy had zombies on 7days that would spawn with a random subscribers name.

[@superockets10]

Ooh nice twist on the gameplay

Thanks, hopefully I can keep improving the spawns over time so the challenge can escalate 🙂

[@philipwhittingham2584]

His rovers BR wheel hurts me

[@BNETT21]

So this is kind of like a lite version of the reavers mod mixed with ACS?

[@BNETT21]

So the radio spectroscopy made by draygo requires an ore detector to work. Could that have been your issue with the scanner? I've not used the scanner yet.

[@DjapeKostic]

You should make a tank that turns like a tank :D

[@grunwode]

[@Jesus0253]

i have to ask. why the damaged textures for the newly build blocks? i understand using it for the used and old stuff, but the newly build? can the game not use 2 texture packs at the same time? its probably to much to ask for the game to gradually switch the texture of blocks to the "used" variants after a certain amount of time

[@Flipsie]

I like the look of things being 'used'

[@Jazzious88]

Should add the compass mod. Unless there is a reason not to
