Wrong Way... Up?

[@BallChainGaming]

I think this was the most fun yet. Great teamwork, and excellent flying! That goes for the bots, too

[@aurumworks]

Next series: One Way Hop. Where you start at an asteroid and have to get from asteroid to asteroid without thrusters. Got to find near asteroids with disposable drones and then launch vehicles to and from them to transfer materials. Got to get around the orbit of a planet.

[@chriseash6497]

"No good way down" Sounds like a one off, engineer a Niagra falls barrel, a vehicle with no wheels or engines that can roll down hill. Person who gets the farthest wins!

46:56 "... they know how to party because they are the fungi." Aaand the dad joke of the week award goes to Tex, this one made me groan and facepalm at the same time. Ooof. Good one, but ooof.

[@gruzzob]

That was great fun, thanks for taking us along for the ride... er, fly :) Will be sad to see this finally end.

[@gewerdstrauss9843]

Wait is this the last ep? Sad face (let's see what unholy abomination of an idea they come up with next :P)

[@gruzzob]

@@gewerdstrauss9843 Nope, this isn't the last episode. Was referring to the plane fight at the end

[@Splitsie]

Nope, next week will likely be the finale though and it should be a whole lot of fun 🙂

[@JWH3]

I loved this series, especially lately the arm crawling and piston shenanigans were fun and mind blowingly clang free. However I'm REALLY itching for you to get back into doing some space stuff again. The "bots" seem to be working out okay and you could really probably manage a pretty good crew of low key helpers for some structured semi staged combat adventures! The group of five you got going now just really seem to be working good together and I've seen enough wheels for a while :)

[@dooogey2791]

wow, I made what I thought was a pretty big awesome mobile base, and I called it big boy, it has 2 crafting stations, a refinery, a drill, and it can also fly every once in a while with hydrogen thrusters, but its main way of movement is via four very large wheels and atmospheric thrusters to give it that extra boost when it's moving, I thought that was considered very large, that isn't even as big as ONE of the train-car things you have for your mobile base, good god

[@Splitsie]

Apparently building a runway takes a lot of space :D

[@mandyspence1599]

That decent down the cliff was amazing, the colours and armour you chose for the arms was beautiful and really effective! But how, by Lord Clangs eye teeth did you get down without it going horribly, fantastically, unbelievably and spectacularly wrong? I mean, okay, the end was a little quicker than intended, but still, you guys pulled it off with style, if not quite grace. The dog fight at the end, magnificent, even though Capac, in true professional style, spent more time fighting his own plane than the bots. If the next one is the finale, it will be a bittersweet one, for this has been such a great watch, thank all of you for sharing this journey with us.

[@Splitsie]

'Style if not quite grace' I think I'll take that one 😂

[@jonathanlanglois2742]

1:10:00 I think that's a great idea for the next time you do this, make a rover ball where there's no up or down. You just deal with whatever orientation is happens to be in at the time.

[@JescoLincke]

And when you think you've seen it all, they come up with a daring cliff descent, almost failing at the end - a brilliant recovery, followed by a victorious air battle. That's the stuff that series' finales are usually made of, so I'm a little sad to see the unavoidable (and, of course, successful) end approaching. I do hope the robots have some final nasty surprises for you, though... Maybe an artificial wormhole that teleports you back to square one. Or maybe the whole north pole just lifts off into space when you approach... Capac had it right during the abseil by the way (2:38:30)! Keeping the runway deployed would have stabilized the mid trailer, as it would have brought the center of gravity closer in line to the connectors where all the holding on forces were passing through. This way it was rather top heavy, tilting it forward in the direction of travel.

[@BallChainGaming]

Except that the trailers naturally stabilize the forward/aft axis, and the deployed runway would have torn itself apart against the rocks.

[@Splitsie]

Yup, capac ignored how easily the support wheels on the runway get caught in the crags and are torn off. Deploying the runway for the whole descent was not an option

[@caked3953]

As an old probanly whise man said once: "when you take the wrong way up, there is no easy way down" c:

[@gewerdstrauss9843]

I want a subgrid count of the rover at the very end of the series, with all planes docked. Curious how hard you've pushed SE.

[@OGZelgadisGraywords]

What am exciting episode, rapling down a mountain with pistons and a spectacular dog fight. Good job.

[@TheMrShinagami]

Its hard to pick what was best, getting down the cliff face or that epic dog fight at the end. Its a bank holiday weekend next week so I'll be staying up to watch live!

[@Furyion3]

Great episode, thank you all for the time and effort you guys put in to this.

[@Falsechicken]

"I gotta restart the server." Well this is Space Engineers so everyone go out and start a new family and we can get back to playing when it finally loads after your youngest graduates xD. I love this game but man I would love to know what it does during loading that takes so long.

Sails do work in the Aero mod BUT you have to split the sail into at least 2 grids to sail into the wind by any amount. Subgrids change the forces

[@surryan]

Like a bird flapping its wings down a hill trying in vain to fly!

[@jonnoble5624]

Capac: "OOH, it's coming back! I need hydrogen!" All: "What's coming back?" Capac: "MY plane! My plane is coming back!" No matter how many years I watch you guys, Capac always makes me laugh. I mean... lol... I mean, of course he mistakenly jumped out of his own plane at the beginning of a big air battle and spent five minutes chasing it like the fourth Stooge. I used to think you guys had scripted shenanigans but I know now that's just pure Capac.

[@Splitsie]

Yup, no scripts, just idiots being idiots :D

[@marksadler4457]

Capac is now a species of Tree?!! "Perhaps," Splitsie says (6:20) "I killed you when I started to drive: ha ha ha ha

0:40:00 Stay tuned for next Season Wrong way Up & Down: See Saw.... Poof ...Gone

[@MavwolfPrime]

Next week when you start, you should do a quick copy paste and go full send from the top of the mountain just for science.

[@Splitsie]

We'll potentially do that in the after stream party over on twitch when the finale is complete 🙂

[@ColinRichardson]

2:00:00 to 3:15:00 WAS THE BEST hour and 15 minutes of my life in SE

[@kalonmitchell3556]

Hey splitsie! Great work as always man! Maybe we could organise a prank on capac, not sure of the logistics haha the plushie block was released and chipstix made a mod to be the plushie. Capac could play a funko pop of himself !

[@Splitsie]

I'm sure if I add the plushie character mod Capac would use it at least once :D

[@TheASMHOURPresentedByPGGlassho]

Hi Splitsie, what about placing an adjustable four rotor drill arm on the front with rotors that can use hinges to collapse in around the shaft and pistons to extend the shaft. By placing it under the cockpit the rig could dig tunnels for itself to pass under rough terrain while the collapsed version could retract inside the rig. It could also serve as a normal drill when collapsed. Like a more versatile version of the asteroid mining drill. I think an underground section to the journey would be really fun. Hinges to add top and bottom flaps to the plain wings would also allow for rapid deceleration in dog fights and slower landing with more lift.

[@SleezyRider883]

This is a sick concept. Massive gigantic all terrain vehicle with all the fixins' I assume the middle section of the vehicle is like unfolding solar panels so it can recharge the batteries without needing outside fuel source. Watching this shit got me wanting to reinstall and try to figure out how to build something similar just to mess around.

@1:36 W4stedspace asks "Are these Capac moments?" as Capac says the pistoned rover train looks like a fat man. I immediately thought of Pinky form "Pinky and the Brain." That is how I see Capac and Splitsie sometimes - ha ha ha ha

when i saw the ledge at 1:23:11 i just thought... parachutes could work as well as anything.

[@sbredin82]

next step you should make the rover into a spider with legs on rotors that move forward in groups

With how much Crawling the Tractor does in the series I suspect Splitsie wants to play 7 Days to Die again and see the Crawling Zombie :)

I would have built a bridge over the gap and then just taken it back down when I was done with it.

[@IamCoalfoot]

That climb down should not have worked as well as it actually did, I can't decide if I'm scared or impressed. Both, I think. xD

[@pepperspray7386]

Are you insane, why is Splitzie still driving? You know an animal that's been stung by bees repeatedly usually stops what it was doing to antagonize the bees. This has entered the realm of self harm. xD

[@krykkatorix]

It would definitely be interesting to see a, no suit survival stream. Like a one-off or something. A series would be cool though.

[@Nemethon]

I always wonder a little why you always risk the whole train instead of just one vehicle at a time. The scary thing is that even when things go wrong, you often get away with a few scratches. ;D

Love the Content, keep going! But one question.. i have to watch the video after recording because the stream is in the middle of the night.. are those mid roll videos on purpose? i mean.. after every 10 to 15 min i have to scramble for the remote to turn off the sounds because my tv trys to kill my ears with incredibly loud commercials for things i couldnt care less about.... Edit: opening up the video on my pc simultaniously just to write that comment seemed to got rid of the ads.. have to test that further.

[@Splitsie]

It's really annoying, KZbin puts those on automatically and sometimes I forget to reduce their frequency. When I do it manually I set one per hour (roughly). It seems like KZbin does one per 5 minutes if I let it, which is awful 😔

I want you to copy and paste back to the top and YOLO it down just to see what could have happened (havent finished the VOD yet so I may not have seen "stuff" go wrong yet).

Ya'll should have made the runway so you could control one side or the other individually so you could more efficiently throw weight around

[@Splitsie]

That could have been quite useful, you're right

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

Why don't you guys have big cable winches? You could build some kind of structure into the mountain and hook a cable winch to that, then gently lower the whole rig down like rappelling.

[@Splitsie]

They're not a thing in Space Engineers. I've made something akin to one using a lot of hinges but the performance impact of them would be too much in a multiplayer setting like this so it wasn't a valid option

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

@@Splitsie I can't imagine why that would be the case, but ok I suppose. ~( ,m,)~ I personally would DEFINITELY want normal cable winches if I were making such a game

Hey Splitsie how is this for a group stream idea, not sure if it’s been done, but for every death, you incur a time penalty where you cannot do anything for 10, 15 or 20 minutes?? You can voice chat, but restrained from actually being able to do anything.

[@Splitsie]

I think most of the streamers would hate it. During the time penalty your numbers would tank because you're not doing anything much to keep the audience engaged so they'll switch to someone else or switch off entirely in a fair few cases 😔

[@danjam888]

[@ChristopherPisz]

Why do people who replace a laugh with the same sound one makes when blowing a soaking wet, blood filled, snot garble out of their nose, do that? I mean, they have to do it on purpose. It's not involuntary. They trained themselves to do it. Babies do not come out of the womb that way. Why not just open one's mouth and let out an actual laugh? It is much less offensive to the ears. I've spent a lot of time pondering this. I believe the practice came from situations where people would try to hold back their laugh. Perhaps, in a library or in the principle's office. However, it should not replace one's laugh full time. That sound's is no substitute for an actual laugh. Let your friend know, I disapprove strongly. His laughter sounds exactly like the guy in the cubical next to mine blowing snot in the morning. Even if he were to replace it with Popeye's "yuck yuck yuck", it would be less out of place.
