Vanilla Planetary Encounters in Space Engineers - Sneak Peek

[@mystic-malevolence]

For folks without the DLCs, the encounters are doubly valuable: they are also a source of DLC blocks to meticulously merge onto their ships.

[@vebjrnoppedal7884]

Oh wow that is actually really cool. Most of the time I play with someone with dlc, so they can just place the blocks for me if I really want dlc. But this is very cool, now I can get dlc blocks even in solo worlds.

[@TwoGoodGames]

literally assertive acquisitions.

[@armastat]

@@TwoGoodGames And Splitsie's Scrapyard encounters. A prime example of Developers listening to players... and well deserved Splitsie, you put a ton of work into it, congrats.

[@creeloper27]

That's so cool actually!

[@tackytrooper]

Just get the DLCs guys, especially if you want to see SE2 happen someday...

[@SpaceEngineers]

Capac Meat Shield ❤

[@chiaeagle6720]

We need a Capac Meat Shield in the base game somehow

[@R.P.G.]

​@@chiaeagle6720 I second that!

[@Vessekx]

@@chiaeagle6720 I think you have to cultivate your own, sadly.

[@DURRYAN]

Keen you're being very smart and sneaky dividing the sneak peak between multiple SE content creater

[@demos113]

This is the way. 🙂

[@Eisen_Jaeger]

I see Assertive Scrapyard is a vanilla thing now. :P

[@Beeblebum]

Really glad to see more encounters in vanilla! Opens the gameplay for Consoles a bit as well. But Very curious how Modders will take advantage of it. 😊 Thanks for showing off!

[@Splitsie]

I'm pretty confident it'll be relatively straightforward to spawn things in with this system, getting a basic mod working and making a tutorial for it are going to be high on my list after the release :)

[@Beeblebum]

@@Splitsie That sounds great - definitely will be watching that 👍

[@jasonfabrick9308]

Very nice to see the return of the Chomper and Capactron. I like that KEEN have allowed several KZbinrs to make videos about different parts of this update rather than just one. I could easily quote Adam Savage during this video: "I'm going to need a grin-ectomy". Grinning ear to ear.

[@Splitsie]

It was very fun to drive it again, turns out I built it better than I remembered, it drove so nicely :D

[@shocktnc]

​@@SplitsieThere is a reason it's my default rover when I need to just print something off and don't have time to build a custom!

[@tarab9081]

These all look super cool! I love that Keen spread the reveals across different creators.

[@loach5348]

Been waiting years for this as an Xbox player, finally we can have the experience of planetary encounters

[@AegirBuildsAndBeats]

I'm super excited for this! All these sneak peeks today have me so hyped.

[@dirtypixeI]

If it's half as good as Splitsie's Scrapyard Scenario, we're in for a treat😄

[@Splitsie]

One of my goals after release is to see if I can make a console friendly alternative for scrapyard, It wouldn't have quite as much stuff, but maybe I can make something that is still fun :)

[@pleck7059]

@@Splitsieim assuming you got some special knowledge and im assuming the encounters are mod able also thats gonna be amazing even if it is dedicated server only since thats the only way to ise server side scripts on console and theres hope the update revievs console player base since it got devastated by the signal update not being playable online for 2 weeks

[@dirtypixeI]

@@Splitsie I can't wait to see what you come up with, I'm sure it will be great!

[@evlkenevl2721]

The Die-namic Duo rides again! 😂 We all appreciate what you two and others have done to make this game even more enjoyable.

[@TheCalamatron]

Ohhhh quick cheeky turn away from the new turret?? lol Thanks for the sneak peak, looking forward to the update and any new ZM content that may come with it :)

[@shocktnc]

Timestamp? I cant find it for the life of me!

[@shocktnc]

Found it with help ❤

[@mandyspence1599]

Love a good sneak peak... But the best bit has to be you blowing up poor old Capac! Also, really looking forwards to watching you meet these things in a new, or old (AA, SI...) series! Please keep that EXPLOSIVE content coming!

[@Splitsie]

lol I really didn't think I'd hit him, but I suppose that just makes it better :D

[@montro2220]

The best part: Splitsie capacing Capac with a rocketlauncher

[@armastat]

Congrats on getting your idea into the game, its a great reward for the years of hard work you put into it. you can relax now and take it easy now, the Devs will improve it down the line, ... wait ... what did i just say!? Devs improving on an idea? we are doomed.

[@creeloper27]

Really smart by Keen to split up the teasers by giving each youtuber a small part to showcase, really looking forward to this update! Cool showcase, was definitely fun to watch Capac die so many times while you hid lol.

[@MiddKnightAlphaOmega]

Always enjoyable watching the shenanigans of Splatsie and Casplat.

[@malcontender6319]

Oh yes. Yes indeed. Looks like your scrap survival really inspired Keen, congratulations

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

It's going to be a blast to play this update. And I see the 'one of these mondays' did turn out eventually.

[@augustusguap228]

HELL YEAH! Appreciate the preview, keep doing what you're doing Splitsie!

[@DJ_NOOB]

LOL. Oh it's nice to you both in SE again. I know technically it hasn't been THAT long, but just the two of you on a planet taking out a base, it's giving me old school vibes.

[@Splitsie]

The chomper and capactron certainly add to that :D

[@Rumblestrip]

I see the tree killer rides again! Lol

[@darkstar_sierra1588]

I do love the fact that the NPC's are all getting overhauled with newer weapons such as autocannons and artillery cannons, possibly also the railguns too so they are really going to be "Endgame" so no more super easy space pirates anymore they now match our arsenal of weapons. Also that new Drone design looked sick!.

[@DenBlackburn]

YAY Capac, ill defo be following this. your both great on your own, but together there is a comical chemistry that works perfectly. Example:- (Splitsie, make a crane and caustiosly place items onto the back of a truck, Capac, make a dozer a ramp and push the lot on the back of the truck) When your fed up of hearing politics loose yourself with these two.

[@keldorsvideodumpster]

Man, those small gates are so cool!

[@baronclime6423]

I am looking forward to this update. It's been awhile since we've seen the Chomper and Capactron out and about. Nice!

[@Terminator484]

Pause at the final screen, and hide the cards, and there's a whole bunch of new blocks! New cockpit, thruster variants, and all sorts of new goodies. Definitely looking forward to this update!

[@Splitsie]

I'm interested in the new cockpit, whether it's DLC or vanilla, because if it's vanilla then they could make it a bit more tough

[@DiZtheJedi]

@@Splitsie I'm hoping that the Factorum has a slew of new blocks that are enhanced by Factorum components. And hopefully, away to find these encounters that isn't just flying through the void endlessly and hoping.

[@mr_aluma]

Nice! I'm really excited for the update!

[@chojin6136]

There is nothing that I DIDN'T like about this video. Seeing Chomper was a huge hit of nostalgia that just got bigger with Capac and his -tron

[@themanwhosoldtheworld6291]

Ever since planets became a think in SE I've been constantly dreaming about encounters like these to actually become official for the game, so glad they are finally officially implementing them to the game.

[@Splitsie]

Yup, I made a video at the end of 2017 where I talked about how (what became) MES was adding these and that it would be awesome to get it in the base game. So glad it's finally here in any form :)

[@mattp1337]

I am also unreasonably excited by those 2x1 doors. Dayum it's a good month for space gaming.

[@BlueEclipse2305]

GREAt seeing the Chompa again

[@kuidan]

Was going to say the same thing.

[@vodickatomas8353]

I like capac battle shouts like im on ground, they hit me or im dead again 😂

[@emiliawhit]

omg the nostalgia from the chomper and the capactron is awsome missed these and its also exciting that we are finaly getting encounters like these in the base game

[@ws_stelzi79]

That Capac Meat Shield Drone definitely needs a Large Grid Prototech Thruster! 🤪🤔

[@DeepCZero3]

When Keen pretty much hires Splitsie as one of THE space engineers. Props to you man. Well deserved!

[@crumpler6773]

This very much looks like an Assertive Aquisitions clone in the best ways. Great job in giving them direction Splits! Congratulations!

[@Splitsie]

Agreed, I know some people get upset when devs take ideas from popular mods, but isn't that what we want them to do? Get the best mods available to everyone :)

[@shocktnc]

100%

[@npenick66]

Good to see the Chomper and the Capactron again, makes me want to go back and rewatch Escape Unlikely again.

[@71Chris]

very excited to find and use the Prototech stuff

[@thegreatgali1739]

I am so freaking excited!

[@HopefulNeko]

i am so excited for this update!!!

[@n0bl3hunt3r]

It’s great that keen has the Splitsie and Capac show doing marketing.

[@Splitsie]

Their main challenge is getting us to focus on what they want rather than what we're distracted by :P

[@davidmartensson273]

This is going to be very interesting to get to try out, I understand all the secrecy up until now :D

[@Splitsie]

Yup, it's hard having people ask about the update and not joining in the speculation because you already know the answer :D

[@Billabong1264]

This video makes me want another survival unlikely like series

[@foamyflightmaster9385]

Good to see you two guys, ready for action as always....should be a great addition to the vanilla game

[@ResistanceLion]

This is cool looking rusty blocks, finally a proper procedural generated decorations for Scrapyard survival

[@Quantum_Tator]

I am jealous of these preview videos. There is a reason this game is still top tier.

[@patrickshores4118]

Oooh this is going to be an awesome update. Planets in particular feel so empty right now.

[@Jedmunz]

Whoo hoo! Well looking forward to this one.

[@teenboy661]

New spawn ships!? Yes!!!!

[@ViVi-gi1ns]

Cold iron on his hip😂

[@TarisRedwing]

Vanilla NPC's on the planet finally!

[@thefatcat2790]

Just something I noticed: during the first wreck, the rover has the new gatling turrets, which were changed back to normal for the second wreck!

[@shocktnc]

So that's where the new gun in the video is, I saw it mentioned in the comments and could not find it!

[@emilesteenkamp]

looks awesome. looking forward to the encounters

[@chiaeagle6720]

Holy this looks awesome! Actually looks like it brings some life into the world

[@Splitsie]

Even at this early stage, any extra stuff to find about the place is definitely a welcome change :)

[@dereckhale1254]

I can't wait!!! I have been waiting for this for awhile.

[@anumeon]

Alas, poor Capactron. Your return to the spotlight ended in true Capac fashion.

[@themidnightbanshee5927]

Keen has very much improved in the design of their bases

[@Splitsie]

I think a lot of the designs come from Aragath who also designed the drop pod i believe. He's got a good eye for this stuff but it also massively helps having so many vanilla decorative blocks these days

[@stripedcollar335]

I am impressed that the devs had the foresight to include Splitsie and Capac in the release advertising. I reckon 80% of the excitement will be generated by whatever these two and their friends cookup. See ya'all Tuesday.

[@Wensday-Adams]

LOL! 'Oh turret, turret, turret' as Splitsie pulls out a rocket launcher while inside the ship........."Did you just blow me up?" LOL!

[@Wafflehouse71]

Today I was playing Space Engineers, building my attempt at a missile silo when Klang obliterated the entire assembly. Wonderful!

Cannot wait to see what you guys do with the 1.205 update, I've enjoyed your mods and series, looking forward to your next Scrapyard series if you do another, I'd really like to see it morph into a pirate theme now that you guys escaped Satreus.

[@olseba]

That's capactually a really nice thing. Especially with the prototec stuff.

[@professortrog7742]

My brain has been so thoroughly conditioned that when Capac did his “catch you next time everybody!” Salute, i just _had_ to add a TFE “Byeehhh..” myself.

​@@SplitsieWe appreciate it! I may have contributed multiple views because I have been rewatching and showing my friend the stuff I spied.

[@wolfevickery6081]

excellent video as always

[@carlwear1249]

This is reminding me of one of the modular encounter mods that added wrecks and structures on the earthlike planet. In the end I turned it off as it felt like cheating since it was a fast source of components that you couldn't get on the earthlike planet but had to travel off the planet to get. I have started the scrapyard survival mod. That involves a new way of problem solving.

[@scorpioncoreuniverse8981]

Oh yeah.Nothing like starting a stream out with gunfire.😊

[@chrisholland8892]

[@galaxygam3ryt]

Splitsie, did you see that you can claim NPC grids now through the grid's inventory menu.

[@Splitsie]

That doesn't claim the NPC, it just makes its PCU cost your own, this allows it to remain in the world and not get deleted, you still have to capture the whole grid as you always did

[@Lemunde]

What would be cool is if they actually started you off in a small base instead of a drop pod. Just like a small hut with a survival kit and probably a basic assembler, a battery, and a solar panel or wind turbine.

[@treasend-o7]

i hope they asked Splitsie for tips and ideas since he basically built and play tested this idea ages ago and also tips for tools players or modders could use

[@tomtommasovaleriano962]

i'm worried about going to fast - smacks into rock. how many versions of each type of spawn are there? They remind me a bit of the ones we saw on purgatory...

[@kiwischolz9811]

While I'm Iooking forward to having more PvE in SE, I also hope the amount of spawns and difficulty of encounters will be adjustable.

[@shocktnc]

I agree, though I am sure if its not modders will take care of it lickety split.

[@dgwingnut8052]

i really hope they're adding more random encounters in space too or at least updating some preexisting ones

[@shocktnc]

they are indeed

[@woif8739]

I hope its a start of them adding more pois, roaming drones and hopefully factions that do wonder set up bases and attack youe bases when detected in the base game and not having to rely too heavily on mods for something to interact with and explore

[@mdk6287]

I been wanting to start a new playthrough. Then I heard about this and been holding off till it drops.

[@cleangaminghub]

Any idea how often they should be spawning? I've travelled about 20km on earthlike planet and have not found any planetary encounters yet.

[@Splitsie]

Travelling isn't required with these, only time (unlike MES), you should see something pop up every 20-30 minutes I think, but if you're moving you may get out of range and miss it

[@cleangaminghub]

@@Splitsie something must be wrong then because I’ve played probably 6-8 hours on this save and have not discovered a single one yet.
