Space Engineers - Space Survival - Ep10 - Going to Mars for Platinum!

[@annkoehler8017]

Oh my goodness, you really cut it close with running out of power! LOL I get lost in other games, where my food or power is so very low, and you start to sweat. Loved the episode!

[@brentbarr498]

I REALLY enjoy watching your videos and listening to your voice.. very therapeutic... Thank you for creating these! You make me want to play Space Engineers on a constant basis so there is THAT to consider..lol

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Thanks so much mate, really appreciate it!! 😎👌 Glad it makes you want to play even more! I love seeing comments like this!

[@fredpryde8555]

you really like living life on the edge you always end up leaving to the last few seconds awesome entertainment

[@AtlayGaming]

Loving this series! I admit I was skeptical about rebuilding the Prometheus, as there didn't seem enough left of the ship to be worth it, but that thing looks very cool. I've never taken over a pirate ship and used it that way, but I will on my next save. Great work. 😊👍🏼

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Thanks Atlay! Good to see you back on the plaform! 😎. Yeah it was waaaaay more work than I had planned but it was nice to try out a different ship 😊 I really wan't to get my hands on one of those RUST freighters!

[@allbriardup6451]

That park job at the newly placed connector was slick bud! Nice video! I’ve gotten back into SE over the last couple weeks after a year’s break. I’ve got everything but the airlock setup and drones nailed down, but I too enjoy a challenge lol. Thank you for your content 👍

[@LintoSea]

dude including the coughing bits just gets me every time. hilarious!!

[@IvanF4826]

The Prometheus is ridiculously vulnerable 😅

[@patrikhjorth3291]

I wonder if you could build a small grid mining/utility ship in a similar shape as the Prometheus. Not because it would be necessary, but because it would look cool :-D I'm actually impressed that you managed to land the Prometheus. It doesn't really look like it's made for planetary landing. Nicely done.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

I'm sure you probably could build one in the same shape but like small grid, but it would take a while to get the same style down :). It's quite good to land this ship actually, as long as you have a decent amount of flat ground 😎

[@hatredsgames]

Just binged watched all the episodes over two days. You’ve definitely got a great series my man. I’ve been playing Space Engineers off and on for about 6 years. I’ve subscribed to your channel. I hope this series continues very far into the future. If I may make a suggestion, definitely build a small grid planetary miner and store it in the Prometheus hanger. That way you can use the Prometheus to get down to planet and then use the planetary miner to mine ores. I’ve got some pretty good blueprints for small miners for all environments.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Really appreciate the support mate, thankyou! 😎👌. I know this comment was made before the episode where I started the mining ship but yeah I agree with you on that, need a better moon miner for sure!! 😎

[@soylent_brown4456]

You were so worried about getting the respawn ship to the Prometheus but... why didn't you take the Prometheus to the respawn pod?

[@jjwardyjj]

I was confused why he didn't do this 🤣🤣 almost had me screaming at my screen

[@Nevir202]

Ya, literally flew his jetpack extra distance, just so he could have to fly further with his respawn pod that was out of power lol.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Oh man, now you say it, it seems so obvious but just completely escaped me at the time 😂😂👍

[@BloodHawk31]

Been waiting patiently for this episode, my laptop needs some upgrading, so before that happens, your vids are the next best thing to playing Space Engineers. Keep it up, REALLY enjoy the series.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Appreciate the patience mate 😎👌. Yeah this weekend was just a nightmare so it delayed me in releasing this episode 😔. But yeah I will keep up with this series for sure! Appreciate the kind words 😁👍

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

19:30 Just use sorters to move ores, ingots and components around and you won't have the issue of hunting down stuff you need where or when you need them.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

I was thinking of trying out Issy's Inventory script 😎

[@HeilTec]

The Prometheus could have flown to the almost discharged pod to make the pod flight as short as possible.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah i was thinking about doing that but since it was able to fly I was like ahhh bugger it I will fly the respawn pod 🤣

[@Gaming-Kanal756]

I love this game

[@HeilTec]

Although the build planner (MMB) is unable to get components across connectors, it is still possible using the terminal. All the buttons between the two inventories work as they should, getting components from any available container.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

A Terminal? You mean like a control panel?

[@HeilTec]

@@TheGarageGamer86 Terminal = Conveyor port (F)

[@alc8366]

Playing your particular scenario with resources only found in certain planets, you HAVE to carry several thousands of each resource everywhere you go, in that flat martian area you landed, a rover would be ideal to locate ores, but a flying miner is a must. Also I personally would set an outpost with plenty of windmills and/or solar panels.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

You know what, you're right, I should really build an outpost on all of the planets so I can charge while I am mining! Maybe I can fit a rover on here too 🤔😊

[@angelusmortis3256]

personally only yield is the way to go... especially with uranium being such a pain to track down... anyone that uses anything else in my opinion likes making more work for themselves... when you put yield on you bassically get double if not quadruple the amount you normally get... its faster anyways and id rather spend more time building less time mining...

[@TheGarageGamer86]

I must admit in this scenario I certainly agree with you! In ep14 I went full yield modules, because gold is such a pain to mine 😅

[@aaronsteuper3386]

dude i think you should try n pressurised the main of the ship and place more turrets on rear top

[@LabTech41]

Clips like this help solidify for me why I stopped playing the game: you can spend 6 hours building a ship meticulously, only for you to realize too late that you didn't factor in something, and the ship's destroyed with nothing to show for it.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

I do rather enjoy that challenge though 😎✌️

[@allbriardup6451]

I definitely understand, I end up playing creative alot to play how I like and really get things I tend to forget pinned down for realistic, it saved me tons on learning hydrogen, efficient engineering layouts and things like door limits, necessary thruster amounts and sensor setup. Currently I’m learning drone play, still can’t get my brain to pickup airlock setup 😂 I hope if you do play again you have a great time, your comment had me going “exactly”! Lol, take care!

[@LabTech41]

@@allbriardup6451 Well, it's been a couple years since I played it, so it's possible there's been changes to the game that would make it more enjoyable. That having been said, I'm already playing a stable of games where I don't have to feel anxiety about whether my thruster configuration's going to allow me to get out of the hole I dug mining, or whether one battery was enough for the trip and maybe the weight of a second was worth it. I get what you're saying, and I do appreciate it, but I learned a long time ago that there are some games that become so tedious that they essentially become unpaid jobs, and I don't play game to work an unpaid job. There may come a day where I revisit Space Engineers, but it'd need a lot of UI and other QoL improvements to make me do anything more than a brief session.

[@allbriardup6451]

@@LabTech41 Yeah I totally understand! The unpaid jobs point you made is spot on, if it’s not fun or worth it to you then no matter the game I wouldn’t encourage continuing unless you feel the desire to. The nice thing is they’ve done a lot of good changes to the game particularly in the last year, right now in “game” settings at the Home Screen you can turn on “Experimental Mode” which on Xbox S provides 200,000 CPU and Xbox X 500,000 CPU. With recent kidney stones and stent I needed a game with no anxiety at all for me that I could put the controller down possibly for a couple hours and come right back to it without punishment and the creative mode has been perfect for me, but I couldn’t see doing survival mode at this time either lol. My faction and I are planning to role play in the game a bit, I’m nearly finished with an 80k CPU carrier to act as a mobile space station and am working on a space-to-planet shuttle and other utility vehicles and will give myself goals, points to map out for self operating cargo ships and various tasks to carry out. I still can’t believe what Keen has accomplished on 25 year old technology that wasn’t even going you have multiplayer or planets lol. Keep an eye out for SE 2, It’s been in progress for nearly 14 years and I have a feeling it’s going to be game of the decade for me. I appreciate your insight and if you ever decide to give it a shot, you’re welcome to reach out and you’ll have someone to go through it with. Most importantly play what you like and like what you play, have a great time and all my best to you regardless 👊

[@pepperspray7386]

35:10 could have mounted the drills on the very bottom of the ship temporarily.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah the only problem is they would not create a hole big enough for the ship to fit through, unless the ore is really close to the surface 😊

[@rasheedgregory3459]

I think you should take the Pt that you have and return to base. Gather the ores needed to build baisic recharging and refueling stations on the moon and mars so you can have what's needed to jump to the Alien planet to get Uranium. I know that's going to take some time to do but with they way you have the game set up I'm not seeing too many other options

[@TheGarageGamer86]

That actually sounds like a good plan to be honest!! 😎👌

[@ironwolfF1]

You played yourself when you chopped the H2 generator off the spawn ship... ...never, _ever_ limited your options when it comes to (re)powering a vessel.

[@robertthomas-ball9416]

I'd say keep hunting for platinum. At least try to locate it. That way, you're saving yourself a little time in the future.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah I completely agree! 😎👌

Go back, build a real atmo miner - something a little more compact that can get down that deep and do the job properly.

I think I agree with you on this one! 😎

[@Vpaid]

Are the wheels an aesthetic choice or do they actually provide cushioning against light collisions?

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Nah purely aesthetic, this ship was built way back in the early days when the game was a beta and there were no DLC blocks at all, so they all used to do things like use half ground down wheels so look like silo's and then the incomplete windows to look like girders. On this ship the wheels are actually supposed to be half ground down, here is a link to the original, might have to grind them down now 😅 - steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=698387294

[@dormentbigfoot5412]

Wait..? Why not just put solar panels on your ships to constantly recharge?

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah you can do that but they don't really make that much power, maybe enough to break even but not much more than that. The issue is that the sun is never in the optimal position when you're landed on the planet 😔 so you get like 2 of the four green bars on the solar panel 😔

Can't u move the ion thrusters to next 2 the drill and add 2 more drills to u have a total of 4 drills and 4 backwards thrusters

The main thing is that Ions do not work well in full gravity, that's why the higher power usage, better to build a Hydrogen or even an atmospheric miner.
