I would like a blueprint of this carrier/maker ship, please

It was great to watch - thank you for a beautiful and exciting series! ;-) Your designs are amazing, I envy you, because even though I play SE a lot, I never have the time/patience/idea for such elaborate designs - they were always "if only it worked" projects ;D Do you have any plans for a sequel and will we ever find out what happened on Europa? :)

Wow cool; great video.

I love ladders all my builds have ladders. They are not needed in normal use at all but they are there in case H2 runs out.

I like to put a Rotor with a small grid head on my large grids. The rotors small grid i call Brainz and put all the timer blocks, programmable blocks, an antenna, plushies and such onto it. So the logics look nice swirling around on a loose rotor and are easy to overlook and blueprint. I like the designs, i saw. The seem well thought. And having proofed usefull.

The Last- one door airlocks - was something new for me :)

Hi. I'm the one person on the planet who likes climbing the ladders. It makes me feel like I'm in a Jeffrey's tube 👍

Could you share the blueprint for this large grid ship? It looks awesome

I just want to build more realistic ships and it kills me not to

The interior of that "Kit-bashed" ship is utter chaos but the exterior looks so freaking cool. I'm thinking about trying something with the SPRT NPC ships now.

I'm waiting for the day airtightness gets connected between the block faces... But as is, it's already expensive enough so I doubt they will ever introduce directionality to it. I build an airtight docking tunnel with that trick, basically a tube you can stick between ships without venting athmo. The key is to have a "separator" in the middle and two airtight compartments on either side so they get passively supplied from both ships.

Who else thought of Capac when he said "friends who don't wait for your airlocks"?

My first trip to space was done with a shuttle that I designed specifically for the transition between planet-side and space. It has two large atmo thrusters pointing down, it’s set up for full atmospheric control (small thrusters in every other direction) and with a load of cargo, launching with the atmospheric is a bit slow, but once I begin to decelerate, I rotate upward 90° and fire the hydrogen thrusters. There are 3 large hydrogen thrusters on the back and they have no trouble putting me in space. Of course I have 4 large hydrogen tanks too, so I may be using more fuel than I realize. Figured why not carry a lot.

I think we have new blocks that would extend the target lock warning to do a chat function. So you could configure it to say something in local or faction chat if you become locked.

I’m not saying you’re doing thruster override wrong but you’re understanding of thruster override is wrong and you’re presenting it as such. Thruster override ride wording is misleading I think that’s the problem. It seems like it’s overriding your input but it’s overriding the idle input. So let’s say you’re hovering at 36kn of power. Now let’s say you could use thruster over ride to turn them down to 35kn. You would very slowly fall out of the sky. But now you decide you don’t want to fall than you hit space bar for let’s say 10 seconds. Ypu would shoot up in the sky at 400kn thrust not 35kn. So this is equivalent in real life of setting your car cruise control at 35 mph then pushing the gas peddle to the floor speeding up to 80 mph as quickly as it would with out Cruze on. So with this information the way you did it and everyone else is doing it would be like setting your cruise control at 80 stopping at a stop sign then turning on Cruze from a dead stop. The correct way to do it is accelerate than set Cruze. If you ever seen a toddler try to drink from a cup with a bunch of ice in it. They tip it back and back and back till the ice comes crashing into their face and they spill the drink all over themselves. I’m not saying you’re doing this wrong in the same way I’m not saying that baby is drinking from a cup wrong.

i feel like when making blueprints in space engineers. it would be wise to take notes from real life 3d printing. support structures and base plates are your friend

airlock tip is instantly reverting my 2 door boring manual airlock to a single, auto opening door with a built in airlock, just gotta finally learn how to auto open doors

Just looking up how to print... Thanks for the tutorial btw, You say the biggest small grid is hard to print due to its shape, so what if you connected to 2 front wingtips with blocks making a bridge then printing from the centre block of that bridge? Would that not make printing it ALOT easier? or no?

Ladders are useful when you mod out the jetpack 😂

...I keep seeing people using remotes for the reverse/docking camera, but what makes that better than using a timer-block to invert the throttle and steering controls, and then clicking over to the camera?

This is why I have P unbound or bound to something else

Why does noone use self-righting arms? They work on stuff like Battlebots. All they are is a hinge and line of blocks mounted sideways as a lever to roll your rover back onto it's wheels. Sure, they wouldn't work in every situation, but I never see them.

after the like 10th death im suprised you didnt just tunnel in

can you relsese the large ship on screen to workshop? at time: 4:32 please ;D

Did this turn out well? Or did it need an overhaul to be better balanced/fun?

I use ladders, though only in tight spaces, access to maintenance spaces, or for details.

I love this! I only wish the remote drone was a miner with a drill on an extending piston instead of a gun underneath. And a spot for an advanced rotor to place a large 2x1 refiner assembler or large ore detector.

Extending a piston with a welder wall at the end is no more complicated a system than this, and you have the benefit of every component of the printing system remaining static in relation to one another, which allows for automated mass production, say of a drone army. If you want the benefit of being able to move components of your printing system, stick hydrogen thrusters on it and dock it at your base. None of these things are complicated at all, they're just larger scale.

Nice ships collection

Ladder guy here

Nice video. I'm the guy who likes ladders btw

The airlock tip is brilliant. Thanks!

this tile should say" Printing made easy if u have a printer ship only" i dont. i wanted tomlearn to print on my base. thanmks for miss leading people

Very good video, but there are certain blocks recommended here that are typically best not used on a small grid rover unless you are playing on a rovers only server. When building in a typical survival scenario, you should try to avoid any blocks that require materials other than your basic 3 you get from rocks (iron, silicon, & nickel); so, it's best not to include thrusters or heavy armor in your designs as those will likely not be available yet when you go to make one of these. Yes, they are nice blocks to have, but small grid rovers are mainly an early game vehicle for before you have access to cobalt. Once you have cobalt and can build an atmospheric thruster and heavy armor, anything this small makes more since as an aircraft.

This was really interesting, ty

I feel like event controllers could operate the manual override method. Thanks for the video, the results were interesting!

I'd suggest making a gravity generator field that nullifies the gravity in the area beneath the ship, but this uses energy...

yeah good tips

I ave turred the RUST freighter into everythig from a base ship by replacing cargo module with a Refinery, to a gunship, to a Romulan styled freighter.

If you turned all other thrusters off in the flight ai except for the thrusters up if it would improve efficentcy due to the ai using the side thrusters constantly

Great video, but I went overboard and did the math. Also, a well optimized flight program should result in a burn of 52838 Liters of fuel. This is done by restricting the thrust to a specific value, based on the experienced gravity value, that would allow for a constant velocity of 100 m/s without accelerating or decelerating. I see other pulsing methods, but it is way more tedious and larger range of error.

Earned a sub, thanks bud

i retro fit the rust freighter to make it a long range battleship that can jump 4000K and had a railgun

Projector plus build and repair mod is amazing

Addendum for tip #6 Remote controls have an option to assign a camera. When set your view will go to the camera automatically when the remote is selected.

My favorite thing is to take a ship and take bits I like off, slap em on a new ship, and ta-da new ship

OMG I have 2300 hours in space engineers and didnt know those curved blocks are air tight.

You can get around the whole printing subgrid issue by just using plugins which I strongly recommend doing. Skipping the intro video, printing multiple grid ships, and being able to do stuff like send camera feeds to LCDs opens up a lot of options in the game. Sorta like running build view and colored icons.
