The Collector's Collection

[@williamroyer3875]

Sad to see it end. My dad was able to be apart of that collection and it was so cool when he told me, but sadly he past away a month ago was not able to see how grand it was. So Splitsie on behalf of my dad and myself thank you for the experience and joy and content you bring to the community. :)

[@pvstiphout]

Sorry to read about your loss.

[@Dagonius.]

All the best William!

Sorry for your loss

[@mikeparodi3871]

Idk why but the end of this made me tear up a bit. Then reading that someone’s dad who was collected passed just did it for me 😢

[@davidwarburton-burley9967]

It's lovely how Splitsie is able to being people together and make and make something when usually on public servers stuff is destroyed at the first opportunity

[@Splitsie]

I feel incredibly lucky that the vast majority don't feel the need to stop these cool things from happening :)

[@PoolOfTrees]

Yes. Given my experiences on public servers previously, I was glad to see the vast majority of people coming together to help each other and make some amazing things. I'm sad that I didn't get to the collection site until some of those amazing works have gone or been destroyed, but some major things like the cafe and community centre lasted through all that.

[@hagangray8006]

I love how through the entire series Splitsie was expecting it to end with an attack, and yet here we are at the end, successfully having collected over 100 people! The SE community is incredible sometimes.

[@Splitsie]

It truly is, this game has brought together a really special group of people :)

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

I think it's fitting that the Porpise's final resting point is practically on top of what its initial purpose was always to fulfil. It had its roles - keep you alive until, give you production facilities for, and transport you to, the collection. This is what it was dedicated to, in its entirety, with every block it has. I think there was something adding to it being at a slightly off angle, both in relation to the collection's grid and leaning slightly to its right on the ice - it's not meant for atmosphere, but to fulfil its purpose entirely, it still braved it. It's surprisingly large to me, even knowing all the massive stuff packed inside it, and it compliments the collection itself nicely, with its similar architecture and color. I'm glad I could see this whole journey, from that initial 250k kilometer journey to this final arrangement. Here's to, indeed, many more to come.

[@killingit2091]

Actually I stole it and flew it 50,000km away. I then gave it to Tyrus because he wanted to give it back. The ship is out there somewhere.

[@sodcactus]

Visited the Frozen Man yesterday and it was still standing. The server was struggling a bit ("Scene too complex" kept popping up) but it was nice to see it for "real" and hope it will continue to be there until Keen does a restart. Thank you Splitsie for a entertaining series and for your trust in the SE Community :)

[@martinastos]

Anybody else getting Terracotta Army vibes? Ranks of his loyal subjects risen and guarding the entrance whilst thier leader lays and rests at the end of the chamber.? Wish I had had time/remembered to join those ranks. Good luck Keen with finding a way to preserve the collection through server resets and all time 😋 Well done Splitsie on another great series and thanks for all the hard work.

[@cptlooney]

Epic mate. SE community at its best "All that and Plenty more to come" are the words that drive us to love your content and look forward to more.

[@gazehound]

I really enjoyed this series. Something about the simple, straightforward progression, the chill ship building, it's all very easy watching.

[@Splitsie]

Thanks :)

[@paul_8472]

Cryo tubes, temple with fire at the entrance, and spider plushie on each pob. No, it's not a cult. It's the space engineers version of an alien face hugger sacrifice chamber!! Awsome ending to this series! I am looking forward to what happens next and possible short videos with checkups on this collection status in the future.

[@TheMrShinagami]

I'm blown away by this, I know there are some people who would want to do nasty things to your collection but this felt like most of the community rallied around to support you and shows that most people who play space engineers are utterly brilliant people! Thank you Splitsie for a wonderful series that was enjoyable from start to finish.

[@Splitsie]

The community have been great, especially the people who were on the server before I was. Not one of them did or said anything while I was on that suggested I wasn't anything but welcome there :)

[@aspergersftw7927]

​@@Splitsie in my experience the community self polices pretty well. If someone is being nasty they tend to get removed. Violently usually

[@Kai_The_Lion]

Aaay I spotted myself in there! My attempt to join the collection was actually my first time ever playing in survival Space Engineers, so thank you for that push! I converted a landing pod or two (or three) in my attempts at reaching there, learning and crashing and finally succeeding! (And then crashing again after accidentally hopping out of my seat to paint the drop pod while in flight...) Needless to say, using my fourth respawn to pop in at the sandwich shack was a real huge help. A four meter walk was considerably more doable than my constant respawns on the opposite side of the planet. xD Thanks again for this awesome series, Splitsie!

[@Splitsie]

lol I'm glad you enjoyed the foray into survival even if it went a little rough :D

[@Kai_The_Lion]

@@Splitsie It was great fun! Inspired me to finally start a proper survival world myself~! Mostly banging two sticks together for the most part, but I'm finally nearing completion on my first big survival ship! (How come nobody told me how much more satisfying it was to do in survival versus creative??) I will say though, there's a learning curve when it comes to the whole... """inventory""" thing. (Who's idea was that?! Gross.)

[@Hemotem]

Very Sad to see it all end but then again I am sad to see any good series end. You did a wonderful job of bringing everyone together for one simple joy of "Because I can!" moment. Thank you, for this and all the effort you put into these videos I look forward to what comes next from Zebra Monkey (A.K.A. Splitsie and Capac).

[@Splitsie]

I feel like Space Engineers revels in those moments, those things done not because we need to, not because we should do, but simply because we can :)

[@_ratfink]

Thanks once again Splitsie for producing context that even my kiddies throughly enjoy. While missing the recorded collections , I’m happy to have found like minded ‘Splitsie Lurkers’ who assisté me in getting my Son safely Into a Pod ( thanks Xavier / Funk ) and it was awesome seeing your statue at collection on stream 🎉 - Long live MAM !!

[@Funk-Overload]

Happy to have assisted friend :)

[@Splitsie]

I so love reading these messages, I should also say - the DE6 regulars were incredibly accommodating considering some of the less fortunate things that happened to the server performance by the end

[@jasonfabrick9308]

You really have a flair for the last episodes of your different Series. I did not expect what you did for your own Cryopod, Nice touch. A final bow (if the emote was in game) with the Tuxedo Spacesuit skin would have added a flair too. I never thought of the cylindrical pillars on half blocks as seen at 30:00. I agree, very nice idea.

[@Splitsie]

One of the things I try my hardest to do is make each series have a satisfying ending, while some it ends up impossible due to game bugs and the like, at least getting some closure allows room to enjoy something new. I desperately hope I can do something to get that feeling of closure for Survival Impossible one day :)

[@jasonfabrick9308]

You said in a video once that when you were at University you had a class about communicating. I saw elements of that before hearing you say that. One of the reasons I like your videos best of the other KZbinrs that make SE content is that you communicate clearly. Others are all "umms" and "I think...", you do not do it that often. I watch some retro PC Tech channels sometimes and one person, I will not say who, I can only take in small segments because they tend to ramble and repeat themself multiple times.

[@Funk-Overload]

I'm glad you liked my tiki statue!!

Awesome Ending to a great series, Spltsie! Looking forward to see what is next! ---------------------- I so love how creative this community is... So many amazing creations. And really enjoyed the "Unfish" wordplay... I mean, I assume it refers to Unfinished Fish. 😄

[@nicolatesla9429]

I loved to see all the parked ships on the lake and that people made it into a Burning Man-esque thing. This was a great series and you, together with all the other Space Engineers gave it an epic finale!

[@montro2220]

Such an awesome series, and I think Splitsie may have underestimated he influence on the SE scene. Splitsie you're truely awesome and I hope the Collection will endure to the end. Oh and if you see a wandering Capac please escort him back to his pod and don't feed him 😉

[@stevebassett3709]

Loved the series Splitsie. Its awesome to see the community come together like this. Looking forward to seeing what you do next.

[@RedDragonLS007]

This was a great series and I am so happy that I got to join the collection at the end. I'll be here for the, "Plenty more to come" for as long as you keep making them.

[@xanderrichards7024]

The collection represents not just the community, but also the journey it took to get to that point, all the hardships and the successes, coming together to create a monument that will last even beyond the safe zone's failure, if not physically then in the hearts of the viewers, Splitsie, and entire series. This is a tomb for the many ships lost to come to this point, as their owners rest eternally, frozen in a deep sleep. It was great to watch each video up to this point, and I am happy to be one with The Collection.

[@Splitsie]

Beautifully said, thanks :)

[@SebRomu]

That collection is a thing of beauty. Would have really fit a Splitsie series if you broke things by landing on top of the collection at the end though. when I heard that explosion I was was like "Oh noes! he didn't!!!???"

[@Splitsie]

lol :D

[@twistedone3190]

Great Series. Thanks for the challenge. (That I failed, finding you in space) and my Cameo in the last recording. I jumped all the way out 250,000+ Km from Earth Like. (And all the way back after I gave up looking.) Thinking I could easily line up the sky box / find an asteroid you has been too. Nope the asteroids change / move / repair voxel damage on a server (DOH!!). Found out the hard way, lining up the skybox image from a 4K recording reduced by KZbin and displayed at 1440p was harder that I initially thought. With some help, (thanks E) we may of come close by finding your ships trajectory but finding you in that cone was a large amount of space. (So not close at all). Missed by that much "..........................................................................................................."

[@marcusdirk]

Oh my! I loved that ending with your personal cryo pod and firework display. Well done!

[@domb6183]

Wow, you did amazing making the collection look so awesome. I feel privileged to be part of it and cant wait for an opportunity to hop out of my pod and look around the site now its complete. Thankyou for making such brilliant content for us to all enjoy

You should put down an LCD with a link to the first episode of the collector so when random people find it they can get the story behind the build. It's looks great btw. Like some ancient space-emperors tomb or something.

[@thomasbowen2463]

Absolutely amazing series Splitsie! Thank you so much for the entertainment! What a great ending!

[@Cosmic_A.A.]

I cant believe that I managed to recognize the booze bus at first glance. Thats what I really like about Splitsie's Space Engineers series, every ship, vehicle and structure is a living character with its own personality and its place in the "Splitsieverse" (or Capacverse) lore. There should really be a museum for all of them with their backstories.

[@Gracefulwarrior2124]

Tbh, I was a tad skeptical about the feasibility of collecting people in cryopods, but it was a cool idea and that's what made me watch this series. I was unsure it would work, but seeing people join and want to be collected, and ESPECIALLY watching the previous collecter video with the SE community coming together, this has become one of, if not my most loved series! :D Thank you Splitsie, for your continued dedication, and for allowing people the opportunity to interact with you in some way :)

[@Splitsie]

I'm so glad it worked out as you weren't the only one who was skeptical at the start :D

Amazing end to the series, Splitsie - crashing your collecting ship into the collection... What other way would you end it? Glad I made it to the Collection - couldn't see my broadcast in the cryo-pod (for obvious reasons - how does Capac manage anything with a HUD like that?), but I saw my Drill Rig in the background as you were landing; wish it hadn't been foggy, though, added much to the atmosphere, but stopped us seeing all the ships/buildings that were around. Hopefully you'll do something else on a public at some point, no idea what, but I hope you'll come up with something. Thank you for letting us be part of this journey with you.

[@Xemice]

Didn't think I'd made it for the finale, but I saw the Drill Rig, which I got a lift down on, and so - YES!!! I made it!!

I felt like I should clap at the ending of another great series. Landing on top of the collection at the end was chefs kiss, Klang bless safe zone protection.

[@PoolOfTrees]

I see that I inadvertently made myself (Cedarfax in-game) famous in this video in the chat for both mentioning forgetting to GPS where I'd parked my ship in Alien orbit, and then managing to send "/spg Ship this way somewhere" globally instead of actually setting a GPS... Anyway, I've loved watching this series Splitsie and, while I did see the filming of the finale from the point of the landing of the Porpoise (I think you see me briefly jet-packing towards it), how you edited that all together it feels even more special and fitting as the conclusion to this series. The Collector was interesting not just in its objective, but in you opening yourself up to the risk and uncontrollable environment of a public server. While in collaborative streams and series you don't have total control over the situation, I'm sure that behind the scenes at the very least some rules and red lines are set out for those participating (or you are very fortunate with those you collaborate with), and you generally retain the ability to switch to Creative/Admin mode to resolve certain situations (like in at least one of your series (Wrong Way Up?) when you had to copy and paste the rover a number of times where it had become oddly embedded in the terrain), you were in the same position as everyone else on the public servers (albeit with a lot more experience than many) and I'm so glad that it ended up as this finale rather than it ending because someone doing something mean or destructive, or an accident destroying almost everything you had (like a number of players including myself experienced - I had a jump into gravity that should never happen in game and had to leave the shell of the surviving half of my ship embedded in a mountain on Earth-like).
