[@Zer0sLegion]

What is your favourite new block or feature from the update? Let me know!

[@K3nn4rD-S]

I like the new corridor blocks with floor alot. Enables new compact large grid ship and base designs :)

[@JulianTdama]

The Console blocks, no contest. I have an on-again-off-again ship project sitting on my hard drive. I wanted the bridge to have a big "command center" vibe, meaning lots of stations. I initially went with Spacebar's Yamato-esque consoles but later decided to look for something else, so in the meantime I filled the place with standard control seats until I found something better. With the adoption of the new Console block family I can finally announce that my ship project is "COMPLETELY VANILLA".

[@SirBork]

I really like the truss blocks

[@shanepye7078]

Can’t really pick only one. The glass corridor looked handy.

[@outrageous-alex]

Corridor, bay and truss will really improve compactness of designs.

[@ghTovar12]

I like how keen has been adding updates that allow people to do things that you could only do with scripts before

[@Zer0sLegion]

Yeah, it's way more convenient to use the blocks than scripts.

[@juanfranciscoozunapulido3708]

@@Zer0sLegion In fact, the functions they have added are for Xbox and PlayStation users, because they cannot use scripts like on PC, and the scripts have a greater variety of functions than the vanilla blocks.

[@MediumRareOpinions]

​@@juanfranciscoozunapulido3708 Also servers where Scripting is disabled to prevent people using the function maliciously.

[@MichaelRainey]

Servers don't always like allowing scripts either so even PC players don't always have them.

[@Jeremy9697]

Even so, many of these blocks are way more simple to learn and use than messing with scripts​@@juanfranciscoozunapulido3708

[@ghjuyt101]

I love that space engineers has been consistently been releasing new blocks that make it so that we have more to build with and new function, ive bought every dlc because they are genuinely beautiful and i never feel like the break the game to not have

[@geoffvanwagner655]

I love how cheap the dlcs are as well.

[@hirobrein445]

Welcom back to KZbin

[@Zer0sLegion]

Thanks 🙂

[@DrunkenPilotVideos]

the jump drive idea is really good. it should be a thing

[@Zer0sLegion]

Here's hoping 🙏

[@fearmaker1]

The new windows and the corridor blocks are truly awesome, and are for me the best blocks of this update. With the consoles at the second place.

[@MediumRareOpinions]

I do wish they had added a variant of the corridor block that has a ladder going through it though.

[@Zer0sLegion]

Yeah, they are really cool!

[@Sucralose2]

I haven't been playing recently bc of life,, but god I love SE so much, this game has come so far like I'm STILL impressed that they added planets and moons.

[@Zer0sLegion]

That was a while ago now😅

[@xirensixseo]

ive found it useful to use a event controller to make a sound block play the "power on" sound when my jump drive or railguns are ready to fire

[@Zer0sLegion]

Yeah, that's why i've been doing

[@kuhljager2429]

I cant wait to really get useage out of the relay. In theory, if you use timer blocks as "Logic Flip Flops" you can make a signal multiplexer, and get far more than "100" channels out of a relay. What i need that many channels for? no clue. Ill have to make a problem to fit the solution just to say i did it

[@victor_creator]

four wireless controller ships connected to a gaming computer station

[@GailXIfe1]

Can't wait to tinker around with the action relay block! I currently have a multi-level elevator that would certainly be improved with this block

[@Wholy]

Inset wall is the best thing of the DLC xD

[@MediumRareOpinions]

I hope they expand them further. I would like to have Doors, Ladders, Air vents, button panels and LCD screens that fit snug into that same inset wall shape. I know that's asking a lot but the blocks to me, along with the corridors set a new standard I'd like the next round of cosmetic additions to match.

[@DarkusAnima]

Bru I felt that "better wifi than wifi company's in the uk" got upgrade package can't use wifi in the bedroom to bingen watch yt at 4am

[@raphaelcarre6144]

Th one person which is the reason why i like space engineers has just posted a video, and was unseen since 6 month, ngl i though you stopped space engineers and i am too braindead to go see twitch for some reason ... nice seeing you again !

[@Zer0sLegion]

I've been active in the discord, just been busy being ill and stuff

[@jeremiahwright4450]

Looks like it's time to update my ship/station designs

[@MediumRareOpinions]

It certainly is retrofitting time again.

[@Zer0sLegion]

Yeah, I need to update Apollo with all the new block😅

[@falin9557]

It would be cool that programming would be more accessible and even having the capability to use camera for artificial vision. Custom seeking missiles would be very common. Also being able to see cameras on the displays would be very useful as well

[@ForgeofAule]

Now I can finally use thrusters on subgrids, although scripts might still be easier

[@IsaaacJunk]

Thanks for coming back, your coverage of the update is so much better and concise as others.

[@Zer0sLegion]

😅Glad you think so!

[@kylecommunist]

Great to see you back! You were missed.

[@Zer0sLegion]

Thanks!

[@brunocruz684]

Welcome back! Finally, you bring another great video! I saw the live stream announcement of this new update, and to be honest I was surprised when they showed the possibility of staking anything!!! A quality of life feature that is very useful! As for the new blocks, they are all very well thought out. The new update to the antenna is very useful and necessary for a long time. The new blocks with built-in lights are really good! In your opinion, wouldn't it also be necessary to refresh the Gatling Turret (+more weapons)? If they are investing a lot in the next update related to exploration, I hope they don't forget to add some kind of door+connector to be able to move between ship and base even without a space suit. Keep up the excellent videos! (I already missed it lol)

[@Zer0sLegion]

We need a new Gatling turret, I need it so bad!

[@K3nn4rD-S]

I looove to finnaly see some high quality space engineers content again :)

[@shanepye7078]

The new corridor blocks remind me of Vaults from Fallout.

[@Zer0sLegion]

They do! I wondered what it was that made me like them.

[@Zer0sLegion]

More to come!

[@manopeace9175]

Appreciate your videos duder. Top tier content all around.

[@Zer0sLegion]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@ericseidel4940]

Haaa finally an update video that does not only make a superficial description of the block but explain somewhat their functions. EXCEPT ONE : Please test the Claim NPC grid, because it does not work as you think.

[@Zer0sLegion]

I couldn't get it to work, I'm sorry🙏 I know it's for claiming the blocks for PCU but I couldn't get the button to appear to test it.

[@wintersknight9411]

A variant of the Helm that matches the new console blocks was my first thought when i got the DLC

[@Zer0sLegion]

I think they're afraid to add cockpits to DLC after the "community" reaction last time but here's hoping!

[@CG-_-]

New to space engineers I really wanna use these new blocks to make combiner elements to builds but I'm still working on the auto docking/connecting lol

[@mr.noneyabusinesstm8845]

They need to add the control grid option for the wireless controller so we can much quicker control certain grids rather than have to dig through menus to find it

[@Zer0sLegion]

That would be cool!

[@ClingyCrab]

He’s returned!

[@Zer0sLegion]

After 1000 years I'm free!

[@gamerwolf-ne1yl]

God I love the new broadcast controller. I was able to do all of that with scripts before, but just like in Minecraft using commands feels just worse than using the vanilla blocks. I already experimented with sending digital signals via the relay and it works amazing. Currently working on an automated connector assignment system, that tells approaching drones where the, can land. (Useful if you have more drones than connectors)

[@ghostof7159]

Well I almost thought you were gone. Welcome back to KZbin

[@jamesdeegan7365]

I just want discoverable bases to use as a starter base

[@chaoticflorius]

I love lighting (and hydrogen engines!) DAMMM!

[@Zer0sLegion]

😜

[@AndersCwraae]

It would be awesome with a "character relay tool" Trigger grid actions from hotbar outside of cockpit 😍

[@depholade]

For the EVERYONE option, you could set up a station hangar with retractable landing pads and a broadcast controller that tells approaching ships what channel they need to be on for the chosen landing pad to extend out for them.

[@Zer0sLegion]

Yeah, I was more joking about people using it to spam the chat lol.

[@magnusberner]

0:27 what i felt like waiting for a new zer0 upload.

[@Zer0sLegion]

Lol😅

[@Johnny-Autokill]

I tried the new doors with the ducts too, hopefully Keen will add that... Also I've noticed something that I don't think anyone has touched on, the in-game music & the music from say a Jukebox doesn't run with the same option in the menu. I've always hated how if I wanted to use the Jukebox, I'd have to listen to it with the normal background music overlapping but I think Keen fixed that🤔👍

[@Zer0sLegion]

I always have music muted so I have no idea, but if they have changed it, that's great!

[@MediumRareOpinions]

The narrow corridor is a nice addition but I feel they need an L shape version for corners.

[@Zer0sLegion]

True, I was thinking that when I was looking at them.

[@darkstar_sierra1588]

The reason the "Claim NPC Grid" doesn't show up is because all the NPC grids need to be deleted so the NPC grids can spawn with that option, because if you don't delete all the NPC ships you will never see the new option because they were around before the update, so you have to force the NPC grids to spawn with the new features. I had the same issue until i deleted all the NPC ships and when they respawned they had the option to claim there Grid straight after.

[@txj2253]

That concept block looks like an assembler, considering the window on the right side and the mech arms within.

[@Zer0sLegion]

It is an assembler, I'll do a video on it soon.

[@Zacian2.0]

I am gonna use this gladly. Thanks. This is gonna be so fun! Other than having new ways for others to kill me faster and easier than they already can...

[@Mackan0153]

Everytime I watch one of your videos it makes me want to play Space Engineers

[@Zer0sLegion]

Every time I make one of these videos, I want to place Space Engineers again lol

[@BinaryKiller_Recoded]

The Narrow Stowage Corridor does indeed have storage container in it, it is in the far right on one of the shelfs, they do have default volume however so... imagine a large grid container, on default settings... That is the volume it has

[@Zer0sLegion]

Yeah, I was just joking. Although, it's not conveyored so I don't know how useful it is.

[@BinaryKiller_Recoded]

@@Zer0sLegion Haha, fooled me xD

[@JTCF]

I wonder what's going on at Keen, they've been greatly improving the game lately!

[@Zer0sLegion]

They've been working on the game since it released 1.0 on steam, just the things peoples want have changed over time.

[@JTCF]

​@@Zer0sLegionWell, I've been following the game even before the planets update, and it was long criticized for having a bad initial player experience, which is actually improving a lot in recent years. Instead of focusing on stuff that is interesting to implement, they focus more on the player experience. It's certainly a good thing, game developers mature and improve the game in places where it lacked for years.

[@matthewpalmer8315]

[@CJfoks]

Would be cool if cokpits and steering consoles would have option of custom keybinding and mouse sterring added to actions like movement of specific rotors/hinges and pistons.

[@Zer0sLegion]

There's a mod for that call mechanical keybinds but I would love it as a vanilla feature.

[@kerbalairforce8802]

I put a timer on jump drive ships. When I jump, I start a countdown until it's charged, which turns on blue flashing lights around my ship.

[@MediumRareOpinions]

Neat idea. I have something like that with Railguns and the event controller to tell me they're recharged and ready but it looks like that's a bit redundant now after the update.

[@Zer0sLegion]

I was looking to see if the Event Controller could do something for it so I could make the broadcast controller tell me it's charge status.

[@MediumRareOpinions]

@@Zer0sLegion The event controller can react to stored power in jump drives and trigger messages in the Broadcast controller so it should be possible.

[@Zer0sLegion]

@@MediumRareOpinions Yeah, that's what I was looking at

[@Marxon1134]

I can state for a fact that having only 100 channels is going to ensure that we get crosstalk incidents in multiplayer.

[@Zer0sLegion]

That's 100 channels just for you, 100 for your faction and 100 for everyone. You'll be fine.

[@kiwirambob]

Hoping they make smaller Jump drives & for small ships

[@Zer0sLegion]

[@Only_Soggy]

For me personally the main attraction are all the decoration blocks if keen software can get these broadcasts blocks and the relay controller to actually work with laser antenna I'll consider using them they're dead items to me that can only be used for cosmetic uses due to the limitations of their distance

[@Zer0sLegion]

They were showcased at working with the laser antenna, is there an issue with it?

I worked on something like this Years ago, transferring info using an antenna, but it was, frustrating.. They changed the code around that time and broke everything I’d done, so I walked away.. I’d built a massive ship that could build new ships, find asteroids, mine them, process them, and expand. It was designed as a self-supplying rest station, for people who needed more fuel, oxygen, anything.

[@Zer0sLegion]

Well, it's vanilla now so it should be way easier!

[@FurryEskimo]

@@Zer0sLegion Maybe, but all my old code is broken, as well as the mods I used in the build. 😭

[@mrmateusz5188]

my first thought was "oh! so you select the grid you want to send signal to and then the action, right?" only to see that it works on channels, from 1 to 100 no less while yeah, works great for stuff like, i honestly dont know, sending a 'follow me' signal to all drones?? its going to be a complete nightmare in multiplayer imagine you're working on said 'follow me' signal for drones, havent bothered to change the default settings, or, by chance, set it to the same channel (its only 100 options) as your faction-mate's secret emergency mines, what happens when you test your drone signal? it will also activate the mines, since the Action Relay that sent the signal doesn't control the action I kinda get why they went with radio frequency thing, but the issue it solves could've been solved with just more Action Relays, you can't solve the limited amount of channels this way, 100 really doesn't seem like a large number if you want to use these things "oh ill use one to start the rockets" "oh ill use one for the emergency turrets" "oh ill use one to call my ship back" etc etc, a simple custom frequency tag, like a password or something, could've worked imagine the nightmare if you have the Action relay set to everyone from some reason, an enemy player can litteraly place 100 action relays and have all of them spamming on all channels

[@Zer0sLegion]

That's 100 channels personal for you, 100 for each faction and 100 for everyone to share AND each channel can trigger up to 100 actions each. It shouldn't really be an issue.
