Oh, Capac wasn't kidding. They really did just drop you off on a planet to start a new survival series
I remember him saying that!
@@ZanTeth55 Well its a well established pirate tradition to strand dissident crew members on some deserted reef.
But the seems to have been reusing this planet for that, just making sure to spread out the drops to not make it to easy :P
Capac only speaks truth. It's just that sometimes reality fails to cooperate.
This killed me 😂
Helldivers style haha
I am IN LOVE with this playstyle, I always felt that "progression" in space engineers is hilariously fast. Especially since in vanilla you can get every resource you'd ever need within eyesight of your first base. This drawn out exploration mode completely changes the game in the best ways.
Thanks, it's a really nice change of pace. I wouldn't want this to be the default, but I'd be quite happy for keen to come up with their own take on this play style and give us the option 🙂
heck ton of stone -> basic refinery -> iron -> cant find iron -> finally found iron after 20 minutes -> basic assembler -> stone drilling abuse -> refinery -> more stone drilling abuse -> assembler -> ok i need different ore -> get ore -> now youre in space for some reason
@@Splitsieyea the survival elements of the survival mode really could use some love. A lot of love. I wish a mode like this was actually in the game so bad.
@@Naplingbat Same, I don't use mods. So, I'm stuck with vanilla everything.
@@Splitsieare these mods on console at all? specifically playstation
I'm glad you're doing this multiplayer style, I was just thinking that Space Engineers really deserved a Hermitcraft style youtube environment - and although this is clearly not that, it's closer than I've seen.
Oh yeah, I can kinda see how this might end up feeling a bit similar. Hopefully with the restrictions we have in place the server can stay with a good sim speed to see some cool things get built :)
Is the server still up and ongoing? Can I join? What is required on my clientside?
Thanks!
The server is still running, it's supporter access so anyone who's a RUclips member, twitch sub or supporter through patreon can find the details on my discord server once they link that account to their discord account.
An important thing to note about the server is that it's time restricted per week in order to keep player progression roughly in line with my own. Also it's based in Sydney 🙂
@Splitsie is this server still running? This looks like the playstyle I've been yearning for for a long time! Particularly without griefing and limiting playtime, I can't count the number of times I've started playing with others to just be left lightyears behind due to not being able to play 24/7
Just Need To Build a Sand crawler To Become A Jawa
When Splitsie mentioned building a crawler on Assertive Acquisitions I thought he'd actually build a Jawa crawler (or at least expected Capac to suggest that).
Why not, He's already a loot goblin.
SHIFT ALT F10 WORKS IN EMERGENCIES
Ah, yes. A traveling shop. All Items sold have a full, "No Money Back" Guarantee!
Covering your rover in mag pads and coming back covered in random scrap was peak gameplay the last time I did this... might be time for a new run :D
Things I found useful, from my time playing the scrapyard mod,
Always have 2 merge blocks built and ready to go on your vehicle,( no panic about needing to find parts)
LG welders have the same storage as a cargo container and they don't need grids.
Make sure the brakes are off on the front wheels.
I adore this slow pace, it's just so chill.
Thanks :)
DOH!!! Reminder to self. Don't make GPS text box errors while Splitsie is recording.
Lol 🤣
This is a fun start to a new survival series. I can see, with the slow progression, why this would turn off some people, but it looks like a great way to create content because watching the process is what I love to see.
Looking forward to future episodes.
Thanks 🙂
Agreed.
Assertive accusation got boring.

We need a full version of this!
A few days ago I got back into Space Engineers after a six month break, and now it’s all I can think about, whenever I have time to do anything im playing SE.
Thanks for getting me into the game in the first place, it’s been my favorite thing to play ever since.
Looks like a really fun scenario to play in, especially with others to trade and collaborate with. Thanks for making these, your videos are great!
Thanks, I'm hoping the server remains running well for long enough to really get into this way of playing :)
@@Splitsie I reckon it would be interesting if you made a video about how you configure and set up the server.. for those of us who have enough hardware to be able to actually do that.. like me lol
the pure jank of how you do everything in this video is amazing
I’m with you Splitsie. This play style is exactly what I love about this game.
I think the largest benefit of having a flatbed vehicle is that you can just take the whole shelving units from the sheds and lock them to it. It'd be significantly easier than separating and dragging things individually and then you can sort it at a better location or take the items when they're needed.
31:27 The baby battery bumper. Which is.. probably a chemical spill risk. I'm sure it's fine.
The plane wreck intrigues me not just due to the possibility of finding its engines and whatever hefty power source it likely had, but also because based on the design of the tail and the 'WRK-B' on the side (which might mean there were at least two of them), it's likely a cargo plane. So if you can find the main body, it might well have cargo still within. Or maybe it was carrying fuel and is now naught but some of the dust kicked up in the windstorms, who could say. I believe the wing you found was only the outer tip of it, so it's likely there's at least three more large thrusters scattered around from it. It would be pretty cool to find all the major parts and piece them back together into the shape of its hull, as like a decoration or something, a show of how far you've come, by the end.
33:49 Y'know, if you had two cranes, you could hold the end of one with the other while making modifications to the middle of one of the arms. I'm sure locking a crane to the arm of another crane wouldn't cause any issues. Maybe you should invest in a permanent landing gear jack, on a _totally_ unrelated note.
Your wind turbine is a real tribute to the crop harvesting that most of the places you found were dedicated to.
You can definitely move wind turbine towers inintact with your wonky starter rover like you suggested by putting gear on the front. Before you pick it up drop your front suspension and raise your rear. When you're ready to drive bring your suspension to a normal driving height. This will put the load more over the center of mass of the vehicle. Then drive VERY slowly home. Then you can drop the whole tower on a waiting pad and get good clearance.
Cheers. Looking forward to the series.
That works unless you need to go down hill.
But add a hinge and some blocks for distance and you can tilt the tower down over the rover, thats how I did and I could drive that 100km/h on flat ground with no problem and it handled sand dunes very well also, though I did have a bit wider wheels
This is probably the guy who snatched the first two turbines lol
this might fail at the "driving slow" part, i don't think splitsie understands the concept of driving slowly ;)
Ah yes, an hour long video where a guy steals a windmill. Brilliant! Watched it all.
Probably going to play this scenario myself, looks super fun!
Looking like a good, and slightly frustrating, start for you, Splitsie - if you've got the parts spare at any point, you might want to build a lifter vehicle dedicated to doing what you were to the wind turbine as it's main purpose. People will always want wind turbines. One that can bring it down will also be able to put it up - you could 'lease' out your services with the vehicle in return for components, like grids or large tubes, that may be hard to find.
While this shouldn't be an issue on your server - maybe a rule should be that things that are painted (not rusty) have to be left alone? Then people can paint their grids and be more certain of their immunity from (accidental) piracy.
That's a kinda cool idea, I might keep trying different techniques with each turbine to find one that seems to be best suited to a dedicated vehicle :)
@@Splitsieim picturing a SCUD launcher. You back up to the turbine, tilt the attacher from horizontal to vertical position, extend as necessary (great for lifting to new location height), detach at the bottom with a grinder and the fold horizontal again for transport.
Russian missile carrier with a purpose
This series looks like its going to be excellent already. Can't wait to see more of this. Thanks for all your vids, they cheer me up when I'm having a bad time of it.
I know little about this game, but whenever ive seen people playing it in the past, it always looked like they were using some creative mode to pull out i finite supplies and make anything they wanted. I appreciate watching someone have to struggle and problem solve instead, and it looks like you had a lot of fun with it as well!
Subbed, and will definitely watch the rest of this series.
It's quite easy in the normal game to get to 'resource utopia' as I like to call it, that was a big part of my drive to create these mods and this scenario, I love the hard scrabble to put things together, hope you enjoy the series :)
I really like the desert environment more than the grassland, it fits more to the abandoned rusted ruins and you can find small items that are lying on the floor ;)
That certainly is an advantage :D
this kinda feels like it's a post-apocalyptic "post fall" of a space age society. I love it. Thats among my favorite genre of books and such.
Picked up space engineers for the first time and got myself to Space on my first ever survival starting on the earth like. Such good fun!
I must say, your survival impossible has been cool to watch and very helpful in many regards.
Look forward to seeing what this play style offers. 🤘
I love the these kind of restrictions, but actually sticking through with them and playing is a definite time commitment. Maybe I'll give it a go, and I can't wait to see more!
It's definitely a time commitment, but if you just do bits a pieces here and there it's a lot easier to manage (at least it always has been for me) :)
Such a cool idea! As a viewer I agree with you, it feels fun to be constrained in this way since you value everything and have to think resourcefully.
It begins!! I've been waiting for the official scrapyard survival playthrough ever since the unofficial/test one came out on Flipsie. So excited to see the new content, Scrapyard Survival has made SE fun in a whole new way that I totally love. Can't wait to see my favorite space engineer tackle all the challenges anew.
Thanks so much :)
Just started another playthrough of this and cannot wait to get a meaty crane up and running! Thought id watch this for some company 😅😂 thanks for all the laughs as always
I threw my head back in disbelief when the turbines were gone, I felt your pain through the video. Glad it worked out in the end 🎉 keep on having faith 🤙
I'm so excited this is happenign again! Look forward to seeing some collab builds.
Oh boy, a new series to watch AND a new scenario to sink my teeth into. Thanks on both counts, Splitsie. It's a good time to be alive.
Awesome Start! - Been keeping an eye on the progress of this scenario on Flipsie, and adding this to my "To Play" list for sure!
A new season is here,
Can’t wait for more episodes.
Thank you for your great movies, i actually started space engineers after watching a few of your earliest series about it.
21:31 that is one of the most roundabout and creative ways of geting that in place i love it!
never played this game but i want to now lol
54:34 LMAO IT LOOKS SO SILLY
I don’t know how i came upon this video but I’m happy i did! This is relaxing to watch
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 🙂
My new pastime: adding Splitsie's playlists whenever a new one comes out
You can raise a hinged tower using half blocks for the pylon with a mag plate at the bottom. When the pylon is raised make sure the mag plate "earths" to a static block and away you go.
My favorite series so far. I hate that I’m so late to the game…but enjoying the discovery
I returned to this video just to say thank you for bringing this mod pack to my attention. I'm in love.
You're welcome, I had a lot of fun making these mods and I'm glad I'm not the only one who enjoys playing with them :)
I look forward to part 2 of your Scrapyard Survival series. I like the idea of finding scrap to survive.
Wait, what, a new Splitsie series about scrapping? Where are my headphones!
i also like the slow pace, Appreciation play throughs
38:14, This is why you take everything you can when you first get there, because it might not be there when you come back.
This gives some real The Long Drive vibes and I dig it. I'm the type that needs a reason to do stuff in creative games.
Enjoying the new series. I understand why you can't collect all the components and bits right now because of storage, so it only slightly pains me to see you leave behind so much lol 🤪
You're not alone, I really wanted some of those bits :P
9:50
I have about 200hrs into this game and watched so very many videos… but I didn’t know you could move things.
Holy!! I've been missing this series. Can't wait for more eps
It's a fresh start with some new bits and some changed bits, the main thing being - this is on a community server :)
Was wondering when this would be a series, can’t wait to see how this goes.
Hey @Splitsie , I had an idea thats a bit of a twist on scavenger mod. Was thinking scavenger mod but also something like assertive. Most mods are locked behind blueprints similar to AQD research has blueprints. But blueprints would only be obtainable from the assertive encounters.
This would make early game a scavenger hunt, but once you get up and running, you could start taking more risks on attacking assertive outposts in hopes of getting a good blueprint.
There would have to be a rebalance of how often scavenger grids spawn in and maybe limit some of the more valuable blocks to just blueprints.
Amazing start to a series Splits! cant wait till the next one!
Your videos got me into this game and made the experience so easy to learn thankyou for the grate content
Thanks to you I'm enjoying the slow and steady playstyle. It made me experience the game bit by bit... 😎
The problem now is I can't enjoy fast paced games anymore..😆
lol I know your feelings there, I keep modding survival games to slow them down :D
Going back to the scrap theme is a 😅 moment for me :) keep on engineering splitsie
That was a fun series, thanks for all your hard work on it :)
@@Splitsie anytime! It was great
I love the "slow" scenarios you come up with, I'm around 3 years (+200 hrs) into my own Survival Impossible playthrough and up until recently my only source of H2 has been snow. The thought and preparation I've had to put into just to get to an Ice lake is crazy, in a good way. There are very few game where you have to do that sort of stuff and I don't think do it as well as modded SE. I'm looking forwards to playing through this one at some point, probably in 3 years when I'm finished with my SI world
Thanks, I really enjoy it as a way to zen out and relax because you know you'll have time to think through what you're doing :)
"uh oh... i did a bad thing!" haha... classic Split content right there.
The RBLF knows that the Holy Grail find of the Scrapyard is an Intact Red Battery. Nothing else is as valuable or beautiful as its Radiant Glory!
Long may it Power Us!
Ohm Ohm Ohm!
i installed space engineers but i find watching this more fun lol
Halfway through watching and I can't help thinking your rover's going to end up looking like a caddisfly larvae 🤣
Yay nice one a new series, and in the scrapyard style too I right enjoyed yourself and Capac's last adventure in this kind of world, should be good.
The turbine is showing 300W because it has no more demand! Max power is 90kW so its alright. I love the series, its the way it should be played. I'm looking forward to see more engineering!
I quite like the idea of the format for this series, Splitsie, esp the random co-op element. ... which led to the amusing situation of those wind turbines you'd marked for later on having already found a new home when you went back to retrieve them, lol.
With the turbine you did recover: Not sure about the placement of said turbine back at your base, though!
lol Not my best placement, but at least I got to get some sleep before the pre-dawn wake up by the 11 month old :D
Its not really a wind turbine, its a lawn mover that just does some extra work while waiting for Splitsie to find a way to grow some grass in the desert :)
@@Splitsie Yarr, I hear you. Been there, done that!
@@davidmartensson273 lol. Well played!
Haven't seen someone do a scenarios like this so defos looking forward to more, good start so far mate 👍
This Mod/method looks like great fun!
Instead of a crane semi truck, why not try making a LARGE bed trailer (for maximum loot) and pull it wit a well articulated forklift like tractor?
You could set the trailer up to have a walking ramp for small stuff/driving up and have the trailer easy to detache to properly use the "forklift"
Hmm... I might have to try that when I've got a bit more stuff. The crane feels like a necessity because I need to be able to manipulate things that are too heavy to lift with the Improvised Experimentation mod, otherwise I won't be able to rotate things properly using just a forklift. But it could be a way to approach things later on :)
38:20 and thats where the cooperation turned into warfare! :D
Looks like Survival Impossible on a desert planet, with other people around.
This is going to be good!
In some ways, yeah it kinda is :)
Looks like this will be a fun series. I also enjoy a slower playthrough, better to enjoy the little things. Best of luck!
I see the traits of a loot goblin in you, I am pleased
This setup looks so good!
you inspired me to do a scrapyard, to get my gyro going i scrap the programmable, the beacon and the weapon rack and some metal bits, the best scenario ive played so far
Thanks, glad you've enjoyed it :)
Yay, a new Splitsie series!
Absolutely love this style of game mode!
@Splitsie You could build your trading post in the style of a Jawa Sandcrawler. Would be a challenge for sure, but it would fit the setting 👍
Exited for this series!
You is a clone that starts over and over again, using you previous you-s work to progress, until manage to escape this system with scarce resources. If you meet others, they are just imaginations in your mind replacing blackouts and loneliness. Takes a while to grow a clone, activates when you die, why stuff in different stages of decay. An AI in a cloaked damaged ship keeps the loop going as long as there are resources left. Maybe this is the last cycle? XD
This mod is so great. Good job! It makes SE so much more interesting to play. Why is it that the devs did not create such a scenario after so many years? It would be nice to do the equivalent but in space. Maybe a shipbreaker scenario where you need to break down wrecks in space to sell so you can rent a small stocking facility to store the things you want to keep to build you first ship to make your salvage run more profitable. Anyways, you should communicate with the devs, this scenario needs to become official along with a space variant. Unlike a random SE game, this scenario gives you a goal, getting off this hellhole. Maybe add datapads with information and clues to the whereabouts of key locations as well as as for immersion purpose. Oh! We noticed that when Installing new offroad wheels the wheels are not rusty but the suspension is in our game. Sure we can paint it rusty, but it would save time if both are rusty.
The only way I can see something like this getting adapted to become vanilla is if Keen ever come up with a way to procedurally spawn stuff on planets. I'm hoping they do and if that day comes I'll 100% be prodding them to let me at it to create something official :D
@@Splitsie yeah. Vanilla SE feels empty, like a lifeless seashell. Players also lacks purpose in random games. Scenarios are nice, but these are one-shot deals. They have no branches to choose from and are always the same. Players in random games have no goals, priorities, objectives or a purpose. There should be some series of jobs to do which could change something in the game world if you succeed and same if you fail. Like certain new tech becomes available... It is just too easy,. The vanilla scenarios are nice but limited unlike yours which is built in a way that is open and choose you priorities and every new game is different. No one is taking you by the hand to tell you where to go and do next. Oh! I played a vanilla game the next day after trying your mod extensively and it makes me appreciate more what I find in the game world. Made us realise that the vanilla game is super easy, giving you everything, even on a realistic level of play with sparse asteroids. If you need something to be tested, let us know on your mod's page in the Steam workshop. :)
3:08, Looks like one of those cars you find Parked in the Wrong Neighborhood. Wheels gone, mostly stripped, and nearly devoid of hope.
Most enjoyable SE video I have seen in a while. Thanks dude
Glad you enjoyed it :)
@@Splitsie you have inspired me to jump back into the cockpit and play again. Due to kids and work I havent played this yerar.
We parents need a little escapism sometimes
This style is great. It’s like adding a slot machine “luck” to the game without adding micro transactions like every other game in the world.
just a thought , could you build a tower /pole onto a rotor attached to your base then while the tower/pole is lowered connect your wind turbine . then rotate the pole to connect weld pads or merge blocks to give you height and a single grid ?
at least that seems the simple way to me lol . Great chill series
Yup, that's a good way to get something tall without the jetpack - I'll probably do something like that to raise the turbine into position :)
I got this mod scenario play and got most of the mods you recommend BUT I failed to get improvised experimentation mod and and Ive still been able to make ground in the mod but probably much slower than you would. Its harder when you dont have the ability to move things by hand. Ive had to improvise a lift. I built a scrap trailer on my rover that I now have equipped with mag plates helps alot of after all the cargo rolling out so often only downside is when I disengage parking brake I think it is all the mags turn off.
Ive been in the mode for 2-3 days now and Ive not come across not a single Thruster in scrap. Ive tried to get batteries from the unknown signal but it explodes before I can ever even when I make it back to my base. I ended up basing in a tiny hanger later on I found that place you based at a stones throw from where I based but It took two days of searching and building to find it and gives a massive boost of pre built stuff so I didnt base there. Large Cargo is there BUT... 24 grid yeah no. I found a hangar too that you visited and I pulled that old jeep out and took it home and built it.
But it doesnt work the batteries are gone on it had to hack them and so I need power cells to fix them. I don't think its worth the power cells now that Ive built it knowing I may need those cells for a ship instead of jeep that doesnt really do anything but drive. So its sitting in the hangar chilling. I haven't found that Jalopy with thrusters yet. Man I wish It would be nice to get off the ground. What did you do about Oxygen for the suit and H2 for the pack? I haven't found any ice and I cant make a detector my pack is empty so its complaining constantly and I have to go out and seek ice. Ive not used any ores that Ive found as of yet.
I found a little secret though. One you passed up. Also how did you get compass to show up?
this is essentially terratech gameplay. reminds me of the olden days
I've never played terratech, but from what I understand it does have some similarities
Great new series, looking forward to it.
Ahh its good to be back watching your channel i been busy as heck so its nice to relax good video bro
Glad you've got some chill time back :)
Another great series. Survival: The Recycling Years.
Just started watching this.. Splitsie saying I got a gyro.. reminds me of a line from a movie... "I got a jar of dirt"... yeah.lol
man i have been listening the song from the begining for so long i kind like it anyway as always great video TY splitsie
This is a super cool way to play the game!
An easy early solution to the crane is to use a hinge and an arm with mag plate to swing down, attach and lift. Very easy to build and maneuver and once you change, its no real regret tearing down since its just one hinge.
And on the back I used an L bar going on over the top of the rover with the long part having pistons.
That way I could grab the wind turbine tower a far bit up and once cut loose and tilted down I retracted the pistons to center the load.
Using build vision the hinges are also super simple to handle without resorting to scripts it turret controllers.
Later on you will need a crane to move things into position, but in the beginning when you just need to gather things it works well. Especially for people new to this way of playing :)
I recently downloaded this like last night. And never got lucky with finds. though I am playing solo survival in a hard environment. I did enjoy the zen part if the game. Kudos
think i found it well this is one way to start playing a game in at the deep end
I like the ambient music - nice touch
Thanks, I felt like I wanted to get some more music back in my videos so thought I'd start here 🙂
41:00 well you did have a rover till then lol
I wish there was something like this for console engineers. Hope somebody does it one day soon. I love watching these videos.
Unfortunately the method I used to restrict the build menu causes the game to crash when using a controller and I have no idea how else to do it :(
The scrap spawning can work on a dedicated server for console though
that was so cool you come up with some incredible ideas going to enjoy watching this
Can't wait for next episode this series looks fantastic 😊
Thanks so much, next one will be here on Sunday :)
This is my Favorite play style and Splitsie does it best. Looking forward to the next part! I am curious if your unpowered thrusters survived the auto-cleanup. Seems to be how I lose things when I play this way.
A better way to grab wind turbines might be to lock something to the ground with a hinge, grab the tower, rotate it to horizontal, and then magplate some wheels to it. Then you can hook up to it like a trailer and not need to worry about rebuilding the tower *or* flipping over!
That's a good idea. You might not even need to build the wheels. Just a handful of steel plates to put down frames for stuff.
Oh I so want to try that just out of curiosity
Looking forward to the next episode!
I love how much drama having other people in the server adds to this play style. Are the changes you made to the scrapyard mod live on the public version?
Yup, anything I add as the series goes on will be in the public version since that's what we're using 🙂
Can't wait to see Splitsie do a front flip and die over one of these dunes :D
You'd think it would be easy to do... I'm sure it'll bite me at some point :P
@@Splitsie Lmao, I get. Can't tell you how many times I've rolled rovers on flat ground so I can't speak too much
Going to be a good series!
