      yup those sliding blocks actually work because of a mod that allows for pathing with the block collision very close ... but that only works when there is no voxel within a full tile of any of the moving blocks ... the blast doors is the only way to avoid that glitch ...
      too many people play with tons of added mods ... myself I just add hud compass ... it adds a compass on the hud so you can have cardinal directions in your display to get your orientation done easier ... I figure any space faring people will have a way to show where North and south is on their display ... just like a fighter pilot gets the info they need in their display .... the rest is just Vanilla ..... because I plat the game as made not as i would desire it

    Subgrids - which is anything attached to a rotor, hinge, or piston - are mostly trial and error to see which actions work and which actions won't. To that extent it's never a bad idea to keep a separate creative world to test things first before starting production in a survival world, especially if the projects are large.

    When Keen shaved the hit boxes of some blocs (light armor and pistons among others) they did NOT shave hangar doors and Heavy armor for example. So these blocs still have a hit box bigger than the visual appearance. The only bloc you can use to slide these larger hit boxes is a blast door edge bloc, witch has a hit box smaller than the visual.

    subgrid pain is way of life for Space Engineer, it is one of those thing I desperate want to improve in SE 2, like, those comment aren't necessarily wrong, since it definitely can work, it just require case by case finagling to the point of absurdity.

    When it comes to Space Engineers any plans involving pistons and rotors should be tested small scale first. Most of the time you will encounter issues no one knows about cause they never experienced it, due to how much freedom the game gives you to build stuff. Not to mention sometimes an update will break complex mechanical creations. Case and point: a year ago I build an AT-TE (the six legged walker from the Star Wars: The Clone Wars) and last week I rebuilt it using a BP so I could have some fun in multiplayer with it. I was on the earthlike planet which is where it is designed it to work and the parts seized up causing the thing to freak out and tear itself apart.

    U can right click on the slider to manually increase the force until u get the desired effect on the axis and nonaxis of the piston. It will increase the force to move the piston in and out. One more suggestions is to change it to a two piston setup. 1 on each side to decrease the jiggle and make it smoother to move in and out

If it's working intermittently try fiddling with the settings on the piston or maybe add a second. Could be that it's just barely too weak to run every time.

    In a game like this, if the parts can catch on something, it will catch on something. You may get lucky sometimes or even most of the time, but it will catch. In making mechanisms like this, your biggest hurdle is working around that. In this case, id use something that either acts as a guide rail, basically smoothing out the motion so the edges of the mecshes dont have to ever hit one another, or id use something like a blast door block instead of an armor block, since its just a bit thinner than an armor block, and use a half plate to hide the little gap on the side your door isnt on

    Hey Skye,
    First, and foremost -- Symmetry is overrated.
    Two questions:
    1. How fast can pistons move -- absolute maximum speed?
    2. Can solid blocks in a row can pass each other (like your single block demonstration showed)?
    Suggestion:
    For the third hanger bay only -- Create a door of solid blocks - Put a piston deep enough (and a trench) to drop the entire door into the cliff at super-fast speed.
    If max speed of one piston isn't fast enough, add stacked pistons to double, triple, quadruple the speed.
    (with colors, half blocks and angles you can create a patterned door)
    Another suggestion for the hanger bar doors:
    Leave #2 hanger the same -- with existing tunnel and the existing slow door.
    Have #3 hanger bay be 12 high x 16 wide with the super fast solid door.
    The control room stays above hanger bay door 2 & adjacent to the top of hanger door #3.
    Anyway. maybe worth a test in your already created test rig.
    Great fun - do what you love - its great.

Hopefully it will reduce the space of having them on either side? If this sounds confusing I'd be happy to elaborate.

    PS: It's actually cool to see someone newer to SE play SE. Sorry I haven't been watching the series properly until now haha.

    Hi Skye, Thoroughly enjoying your series, play the way you want, SE is great to make things as easy or hard as you like. I've learnt most things by trial and error, or the GOAT Splitsie. There is a weird sense of satisfaction solving a misshap with a bunch of rotors, pistons, merge blocks (or weld pads mod) that for me in unique to SE. As others have mentioned, if struggling, there is the option to load and test in a separate save with creative. This could have quality of life mods loaded/unloaded if necessary. Eg. Digi's Build Info mod gives tonnes more information about the targeted block including drill ranges for example. As you found out some of the block visuals are inherently different from the hit box. If/when you get sick of locating Digital Pads to amend block settings, highly recommend looking into the Build Vison mod, maybe in another series. What you done in these short few weeks in phenomenal, can't wait to see what you come up with next.

    I'm personally use always mix hangar doors with center part swing down or up or both. Part should use merge blocks for all clang - yes merge blocks works if you pup merged part on 2 stacked hinges or hinge with piston

    Hey Skye, you can use collectors to daisy chain those rocks back into your base. You'll save all that material then instead of losing. The return rates on stone are VERY poor. So honestly I'd suggest you go find some actual ore deposits sooner or later. Also gonna need a discord or something to give you a workshop link. Got a vanilla rover I think you'll find interesting.

    The only suggestion I'm making is lighting, esp. on the front "lip" of the platform, almost like runway lights to help guide you into the structure. Rotating spots above and below the apron, red rotating strobes "stay clear" denoting edges of doors.

    Also, I'm sorry about the advice you've been getting. Some people (myself included) just want to help and pass on bad knowledge. Hope you feel better. I've also haven't played space engineer, so i can't give you advice. I can only comment what looks good and what doesn't. So far, the only thing that looks weird is your power system, but you're going to move it in the future, so I'm not complaining.

  • @ShannaNL
    @ShannaNL 3 дня назад

    Your rant about Hangardoors... the problem is the box corners. Sometimes it hits and therefor block. And sometimes it doesn't and therefor it passes.
    Personally I'm not a favo of this way, but guessing for a solution could be that if you let the runway inside a "chimney", it will run up/down without hitches. Not sure though.

    You already have a conveyor system going up there, in fact four of them on pistons... Replace the drill, on one of them, with a connector and connect to the conveyor from your new drill rigs. The old drill pistons can take the rock down via our sorting system.
    Been fascinating watching you learn how to solve all sorts of engineering problems.

    Hi, me again. Still not a player of this game…but I had another thought. A while ago you abandoned the idea of using your main drilling ship as a drill bit. Could you make a trimmed down ship that’s almost all drill to use as a bit?
    Edit: maybe you could have 3. One with the drills on top and the connector on bottom, one the other way round and one with them on the sides depending on what direction you’re drilling. You could make little cubbies in your corridor and they could be decorative while not in use. Maybe even different sized ones. Or welding versions to make big walls. I would think a welding one might need the connector at a right angle to the welders.

  • @ibuildblasters8118
    @ibuildblasters8118 День назад

    you should take that RH bay and make it way lower than everything else, and maybe even permanently open, only sealed from the rest by a dividing wall of glass
    maybe it's even the dedicated construction/repair dock
    also the upper doors don't have to slide through full blocks

  • @felderup
    @felderup 3 дня назад

    i'm more a fan of garage doors, double hinged, swinging down from the ceiling(armour block edges)... blocks sliding, even after the update that made it work, never really worked properly for a lot of things. for your application it might have been cool to sensor trigger a timer that slammed a plug in to cover the blast door edges, timer triggers hinge to open and a second timer, the second timer triggers the doors, closing is reverse order, so, need a second string of timers. a hidden rotor might make it prettier.

  • @stormschumann796
    @stormschumann796 4 дня назад

    Possible salvage. Had some issues with pistons and collision. Have you played around with the pistons settings and the force they produce or adding more pistons. Not sure if you’re using experimental mode which is technically still vanilla. Pretty much try to force the blocks past. Beware clang though.

  • @Kunteki
    @Kunteki 4 дня назад +1

    forgot to mention this on a previous video, but you might consider, "Inset Connector"s rather than standard connectors for your Overflow system, since they go more flush against the blocks.
    just a thought ^^, Have a good one

    Why not just use blast door edges etc.? Then it should probably work even with collision of the blast doors? I don't know if it is still airtight then, though! Will test that out myself and give you an update to that idea.

  • @flobiish
    @flobiish 4 дня назад

    Always a pleasure to get hope from work and watch you. Now, I don’t play the game, so this is speculation but: instead of running conveyors all the way down or just tossing all that rock, couldn’t you just remove the drills off Steve and run a conveyor over to the top of those pistons? The pistons seem to act like conveyors and those are already connected to the bottom.

    My guess is that this problem relates to floating point precision. So with some coordinates it works. With some you get a maybe due to the interaction and the wobble of pistons (or have they fixed that? ) and at other locations it never works.
