It's a great script, but it's nice to have a system that you can put together without scripts if you need to, such as on console.

They're basically the same thing, so it'll work, but if you want to pip it up, a hinge is gonna give you the smaller connection.

There already is! On PC, just hold Ctrl+Shift+MMB to paint the entire grid. It's really easy do by mistake. You can paint a large area with CTRL+MMB, and then you press shift to run, and accidentally repaint your entire grid, so be careful! EDIT: I just saw that you wanted to fill the same colour. That would be awesome! Consider making a suggestion on the Keen Software House website

@@spinosauruskin Won't help when someone turns the welders on without using the group though

@@GleebTorin True, but I tend to hide basically everything that's part of a group on the terminal menu so you need to use the group

@spinosauruskin Never underestimate the power of someone who just wants to find the welder. 😉

@@Hscaper P works just fine for me! 🤔

@@GleebTorin unless you have other connectors holding things. Best practice is to set the specific one you want or disable all the others used for parking

@@Hscaper Exactly! Not a problem, so long as you set things right :)

@@StyxRiverGynoid Just because it's true, it doesn't mean you should say it. 😂

That's a good question, I've struggled to find an answer. I like to think that the complexity in the setup means it's less impactful on your sim speed, but I've never actually tested it.

@@GleebTorin If I had to guess, I'd say that the camera method uses ray casting or something of that description, which who knows, but that has never been very performance friendly.

Life got in the way, but more videos are coming. Thanks for asking, though, it's good to know that people want more!

Hydrogen atoms are most stable when they share electrons in pairs. Since each hydrogen atom only has one electron, they naturally pair up with another hydrogen atom to form H₂, which is the most common form of hydrogen you'll find. So, while a single hydrogen atom is represented as H, the hydrogen gas used in the game (and in real life) is actually made up of these H₂ molecules.

@@GleebTorin thanks!

Dragging blocks like that is possible in Creative mode. You'll need to hold CTRL for a line, and CTRL+SHIFT to make a rectangle.

@@GleebTorin ahh thanks man

Yeah, but then you don't get to see your friends fry themselves 😂

That's true, but only once. Just enable repeat mode, and you're good to go! Check out more at 1:39.

Oh I thought you had to queue items when the queue was finished, forgot about repeat mode

I do believe so. Wind turbines need 8-ish blocks of clearance on a flat plane around their axis of rotation.

You absolutely can! You can just change the hotbar when assigning actions, just like when you change hotbars when walking around or flying a ship. Check out this video to see how: ruclips.net/video/9-wAfu_hKLs/видео.html

@@GleebTorin awesome and thank you! Actually figured that out shortly after writing my original message smh lol

Oof, yeah, I've been there, sorry you find yourself in this position. Unfortunately, there is no 'undo' option. I do strongly reccomend the paint gun mod to help avoiding that situation.

@@GleebTorin i stumbled upon an "undo" mod, wich allows to scroll back up to the last 20 actions. a game changer for larger builds

Yeah, but then you don't get the laugh as your friends cook themselves. >:3

Hey Chozo! Thanks so much for reaching out to me, making sure that information is correct is an important endeavour, so I appreciate the effort. That said, I'm confident that the maths checks out. One Large Grid Large Hydrogen Tank can contain 15,000,000 litres of hydrogen. The base has 4 tanks, and so can contain 60,000,000 litres. 3,000,000 is 5% of 60,000,000. Divide 3,000,000 and 5% by 4, as we're splitting this across 4 tanks, and you get 750,000 and 1.25%. If you were checking this out in vanilla, with the original starting multipliers, then this should hold true. When looking at the statistics in the control panel, bear in mind that it doesn't show grid-wide totals, only what's in that block, which could give the appearance of the math being off by 4, as we're splitting the contents across 4 tanks. Again, thanks for raising this, it's good to see people making sure that the right info is out there, I really appreciate it.

@@GleebTorinYeah, see, that's the thing; I'm running the world all default settings, no mods. and when I run the Event Controller at a 1.25% threshold, each tank caps out (at 1.25%) with only ~187.5kL. That's why I mentioned the potential of another re-balance. I had to bump the threshold up to 5% to get the desired 750kL per tank.

@@GleebTorinActually, I think I see where the problem lies here; where 3,000,000L IS indeed 5% of 60,000,000L, and 1.25% of 60,000,000L is indeed 750,000L, 750,000L is ALSO 5% of 15,000,000. So, while it may be 1.25% of 60 million, it's actually 5% of 15 million, which is the target threshold for each tank. 1.25% of each tank is only 187,500L. So, even though your math is correct, unintuitively, you still have to multiply by 4 for the smaller volume of each tank to get the 1.25% for the larger volume of the total of all the tanks. Long story short, the threshold is both 1.25% of the total volume _and_ 5% of each individual tank. Edited for legibility.

@@ChozoSR388 Exactly so! That's why I divide by 4 in my original calculations. 🤓

@@GleebTorinRight, but you have to set the threshold to 5% in the Event Controller, or you only get a quarter of the 3 million liters you're expecting. That's the point I've been trying to make; you have to set the threshold to 5%, not 1.25%, because even though you and I both know that 750,000 is 1.25% of 60,000,000, the Event controller assumes you mean 1.25% of 15,000,000 even when AND is checked, because it looks at the volume of each tank. not the combined total volume of all the tanks. Basically, it doesn't see 60,000,000 like you or I would because all 4 tanks are selected, it sees 4 instances of 15,000,000. So, you have to use the percentage you want each tank filled to, not the percentage of the total volume, which in this case, 5% of 15,000,000 is 750,000, so the threshold is 5%, not 1.25% of 60,000,000, which, even though that IS the same number, it's not what the Event Controller is looking for.

But then your friend won't die hilariously by their own poor situational awareness. :P

Glad to hear it! :)

Wow, that's a lot of dedication to build a system like this in survival, I hope I can help you fix it. Off the top of my head, the possible causes are that the Event Controller was misconfigured, or that it was properly configured, but it didn't get triggerd because of one of the few quirks of Event Controllers. Changing the Condition to 'Equal to or less than' and then back to 'Equal to or greater than' will probably fix it.

@GleebTorin Yeah it didn't take that long tbh. My friend and I both picked up the game a few days ago and this is a lifesaver so it was worth it. I figured it out though. I just needed to do the reset. It's kinda annoying they reset themselves all the time but it is what it is. Just learning how things work still. It's a learning curve for sure

@@DC_Joker187 Oh man, you picked a crazy project if you've only just got into the game! Glad you're enjoying it, though :)

@GleebTorin haha yeah well we were getting tired of prints failing cause we didn't have enough materials. This was the simplest way we found to get around it. Being on Xbox without scripts kinda sucks. The game is still fun though. I do appreciate your build man. It is literally a time and life saver.

It's great to see people getting into the game. If ever you have questions, I'm sure that the community can find an answer, but the best part of Space Engineers is trying to figure it out for yourself. Fly safe!
