- Опубликовано: 20 окт 2024
- Today we ask the age-old question: Can we dig to the center of the Earth? There seems to be much speculation on this topic. Some say you'll hit some sort of bedrock barrier. Others say your ships will just despawn past a certain point. A few say it's actually possible. Which of these is true? Today we'll put the theory to the test and discover once and for all if we can dig to the center of the Earth in Space Engineers.

Wanna see a 2 hour version of the floating blocks showcased at the end of this video? Here's the link! ruclips.net/video/J6zRKKjvpIs/видео.html
Lol cool
omg thank you so much for this!!!
Can you go through the planets? Like one end to another.
I made a version of this except with a bomb that was created constantly and just dropped
24:50 "That's how it would work in real life too"
Disclaimer: Instant immolation and partial vaporization from several thousand degree temperatures not shown, do not attempt at home.
Unless you really like fire, I guess.
not to mention the intense pressures that wou crus you lie tin can
And the whole hollow area at the center of a body will be zero G by calculation, rather than having only a single point being zero G.
Duh he was wearing a suit to protect him :)
If you survived the pressure and the heat you would fly back and forth so think of it as jumping into a hole and coming fall out of a hole upside down
And the gravitational irregularities due to uneven mass distribuition of the earth that would make it like a lagrange point meaning its gonna be unstable af and you will probably fall to one side.
-Place warhead
-Arm the warhead
-blueprint that warhead
-paste repeatedly
Enjoy your new hole.
That's the approach I took back when I did something along these lines. Made a thing that constantly spawned and dropped warheads.
i made automatic machine that drops warhead beacon reactor and tube in 4 spots. ~6 timer blocks welders grinders. without beacon warhead vanishes. took ~8hours to make tunnel thru earth you can jump :)
=Profit
Did this 5 years ago ruclips.net/video/J_9qP4BAcx8/видео.html
'Enjoy your new hole' not to be taken out of context, mind you.
the floating cubes are surprisingly relaxing. would be good to meditate to.
It would be so cool to have an endless loop of the cubes to have as a screensaver
reminds me of the bubbles screensaver every teacher has
@@minny4708 We need this to be a screensaver
the last 5 minutes is amazing, notice how everything starts to form currents and flow together, and then we start to see items pairing up and then grouping together, its some of the best virtual gravity I have ever seen.
No orbiting tho :(
Can you hollow the whole Planet out, and just leave the outer 10km, then build a giant base.
Well... see you in 2 years
Wow guys, thank you for the Likes. I didn´t even expected 10.
Noes, you cannot.
would be interesting BUT that would burn even nasa’s pc’s
You can do it but why waste the time lol funny thou
Would be awesome, ecumenopolis on the inside of a planet.
Funny thing, it's already hollow! There's an exploit involving speed to fly through the surface and you can fly around inside and build! It's hit or miss though. Literally xD sometimes you just smash into the planet and waste your ship. Every time you try to spawn in the planet with a medbay though you just spawn on the surface :/
Tutorial how to "easy" make screensaver :D
Buy Space Engineers, make tunel to center Earth a play with gravitation :D
28:24
Hi, 2003 called. They want screensavers back.
I would've liked a screensaver like this.
It's fairly similar to the bubbles screensaver.
If you want to get to the center of the Earth in a legitimate way, the best would probably be to just build an automated system with welders and grinders which creates a warhead attached to the end of a regular light armor block, and then destroys the armor block, thus dropping the bomb. I made a ship in creative which did this, and it blew itself to the center of the Earth in not very long, and it seems completely reasonable to do this on a Survival server where you've gotten to the point where resources isn't an issue.
Would like to see you try it this way as well just to have it be a bit more legitimate!
It's faster to make a warhead connected to a merge block. Slightly more expensive in mats, but a LOT quicker.
that ending is just beautiful. Needs to be in the default SE start screen loop. Or on loop as a screensaver
O_O
yes new screensaver!!!!!
Was I the only one finding it therapeutic to watch those blocks float around in the core of the planet? That was absolutely magnificent
Next, Center of the Earth to space elevator...
:)
You wanna build one?
Cause am up for it
If you can get to the center, make a dropper, from one side to the other. :P
or space to space through the center of the Planet.
drill a hole through the planet, drop down from orbit into said hole
27:45 that should be your title screen and sequence. Your space engineers galaxy in the center of the planet.
In the early days, trying to go to the center of a planet, brought a lot of weirdness with it.
I found it fascinating watching those blocks floating around. It was like watching the game's physics code actually at work.
I wonder what it would look like if you floated batteries around with interior lights on them?
Dang Nab It! Now I want to do that. : )
A little trick I learned.
If you hold the left or right mouse button down and open inventory (I key) and then let go of the mouse button and press I again to exit inventory . . .
You will find that your drills will continue to operate in harvest or excavate mode. It works with grinders as well. I have never had to assign a on/off key on my hot bar.
It works with the 'K' key as well but you have to press the K key and then escape. The other way is easier because, with practice you can quickly double tap the I key to achieve the same effect.
Addendum:
I wonder what a base would look like at the center?
Build a large hollow box around the center. The outside of it would become all floors.
Then build from there. I imagine would it turn out to be a interesting design.
In the early days there was a limit where your ship would get destoyed at 10km
28:22 My god, it's full of blocks!
XD
Minecraft is accurate confirmed.
Loving these Space Busters videos! Keep it up!
Why don't you try to connect the moon to the earth? 😂
that's a great idea , i'd sub just for this
My friend spawned a moon in the alien planet, breaking the moon and the alien planets gravity
He did ;)
make a huge space elevator that will pull the moon towards the earth :P
Keeps saying km's in the thousands but lists distances in meters.
37,000m is 37km
The floating block scene with this music is so strange like the nightmare Alice in wounderland game ^^
NAZGULASVGU Gives me kind of a weird feeling
Alice in wounderland, the post apocalyptic sequel
I fucking loved it
Ok crazy Idea but it requires fixing the memory leak at the very least!
Starting in a "core void" like the one you made, place a "processor" (A drilling machine that can auto drill and process the material and spit it back out into the void) could you eventually consume the planet turning it into a cloud of refined material? I'm thinking maybe the machine would not move far enough from the core to actually consume the planet. Also the sheer number of object would seize up you computer.
Fun video. Thanks!
what andrew hasnt found out jet is, that tgravity in this game is not perfeclty balanced. what i mean by that is, you will accelerate more and more the more you pass at the center of the gravity(tested with planet center and gravity generator)
what i mean is that your "orbit" will go bigger and bigger until you get slingshotted out of the grav field.
that is what we could youse the pendulum the void machine inside the cneter of the planet to consume it from the inside......jeah :D
Just an fyi you can double click the mouse with drills and other tools and it will keep going even when you let go until you click again
Or, you can set the drills to ON. using the controls.
You can set it into the tools bar while in any ship/vehicle
Patrik Lilja yeah, but that uses the left click function, which is much slower. And would fill the drills pretty quickly, assuming you care about cargo.
Just add an ejecter set to all
There's something completely relaxing about watching these boxes floating and bouncing off each other. Great video, I enjoyed. it
Instead of toggling jetpack you could toggle dampeners, this way you still look down
24:50 In case you're interested, that's not how the physics would work in real life. In fact, inside of that hollow sphere surrounding the center of the earth the gravitational field would be zero. As you descend into the earth, the gravitational field would decrease linearly (not quadratically!). This is due to the shell theorem--any sphere of uniform density exerts no gravitational field inside of itself. This makes sense if you think of gravity in the same way you think of Gauss's law--the since gravitational field decreases by 1/r^2, its divergence is zero outside of the mass exerting the field. In a sphere, the gravitational field lines would have to diverge from the center of the sphere in order to exist, making them impossible.
Your motion as you fall toward the center of the earth would be a sinusoid--it is a differential equation of the form d^2y/dx^2 = -C*y (the solution is an exponential function with period i*sqrt(C) which is equivalent to a sinusoid by Euler's formula).
Now explain in human language and make it short thx
27:00 Now that's legit cool right there. If my computer could run SE I'd make a save file just so I could replicate this. Then whenever I needed to relax just open it up with some nice Star Wars music and let the boxes float.
You should use the clip at the end to make your Intro screen to Space Engineers Videos
That ending with all the boxes floating around looks like a cool screen saver.
26:39
Listening to this i reallized how creepy it sounds if you don't see what is he talking about.
Just imagine an imposible hypothetical situation: a space mission; an astronaut flies on a spacecraft through the unknowh area of cosmos. He constantly speaks what he sees, how he feels, and other stuff, which is all transmited to the earth to controll center, where dozens of people monitoring the flight and listening to his reports. Then, suddenly, there is a loud crack, the signal interrupts, the ship is no more transmitting... After a long moment of confusion and panic signal appers again. There is only sound. They immediately ask him what happened. And that is what they hear in responce... 26:39
Let's go to the center of the earth!
*actually reaches it
Let's LITTER IT WITH TRASH!
normal hooman stuff :D
This was an awesome vid, thx for uploading :3
I agree
xD
Ha
I'd build a mega-base down there.
I’d build a cafe and gift shop
Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this. A group of friends in myself have been attempting to make an automated transport shuttle that travels from planet to space and back. Several individuals have told us this is impossible. We have so far found a way to bring a shuttle down, and send one up. However none have completed a voyage. Reddit has advised its due to ships despawning. Our goal one day is to make an automated ferry vessel.
is there AI that can control fighters during combat? I have never played SE thinking about downloading it. What I want to do is convert a planet into a factory producing endless AI fighters to destroy my enemies. Is this possible?
@@FirstLast-gk6lg Heh, yeah tons of them. People actually make drone 3D printers that build armadas. LastStandGamers does some examples in it in their current conflict series focused on PvP in survival. It is not easy, but it is something people do in SE.
Any type of world anchor block in SE? Could solve your despawning problem if the game works like I think it does
That's weird I was able to. using the pam script. Had two cargo shuttles running back and forth from the ground to a crude space station.
And from the space station to a mining astroid.
The devs are adding some modular AI blocks in the next update
Now you can make a huge elevator that would go from one side of the earth to the other, maybe even expand and make like a central station in the core, anyhow, it would take a looooooooooong time
Things you may not know;
From a control seat / cockpit etc, start to right-click the drills, while holding right mouse button press i or f to open inventory menu, let go of right-click button then close inventory menu, the drills keep on right-click mining without holding any buttons (right-click again to stop them). This works for left click drilling too but so does an on/off command on the control toolbar.
On Keen's official servers and custom game scenarios the centre of the earth-like planet is always exactly at GPS: 0,0,0, nice to know for lining up surface GPS's for drop pods, or for GPS's at opposite sides of the planet.
There was (maybe still is) a glitch where wheeled vehicles at speed would fall through the surface of planets, if you stay with that vehicle it does fall all the way to the centre and when I got there I found a large spherical rock (roughly the size of the orbiting you did) and some other players' vehicles that had suffered from the same glitch.
If you gravity align the Ikea drill ship during construction and do not fit a gyroscope, it would never deviate from the vertical, not even because of drill unbalancing, it eliminates the need for guide wheels too.
Your finale reminded me so much of a windows 95 screensaver.
A couple of years ago I clipped through the ground while digging. The cleanest and most impressive drop I've ever experienced, since you could see through the whole planet from inside while falling.
I feel like every couple months I'm watching these as I fall asleep for a few weeks. I love your energy! I really wish you would do more of these videos 😭 but I understand there are only so many myths to go around. I bet you could do another interesting series like this about something!
Before I watch this video, I'm just gonna say that I have done this. I used a machine to drop a warhead every 3 seconds and afked for 2 hrs. Then I made an elevator all the way 2 the center.
How long did it take? I estimate that what I did would take 8-10 hours to get to the center.
@@AndrewmanGaming It took about 2 hours of afk with a normal sized planet but I had it running 1hr before that so more like 3 hrs. Nice vids btw :)
It also took about 10 mins with the elevator to make it to the bottom. I had a script to stop it crashing into the walls of the shaft.
Wow . . . . . .
Digging large holes quickly is the only reason why I'll use warheads! But then again, I do play a friendly game, no trolling nor pvp so...
thankfully with full release the memory leak has reportedly been fixed
the ending was the best, i sat here watching those blocks fly around, very calming.
Imagine making a base there at center of the earth
That last bit with everything floating needs to be a screen saver or a live wallpaper
The Ending is so cool, BEST 3D wallpaper!
Someone please Make the Ending into a Wallpaper Engine background! That is perfect second screen material for when you are building!
"600 km=60,000 km" checks out.
This is basically how the universe works, it is so accurate, I love the physics engine, it is amazing where it needs to be, some realism taken out (entire base can hang off a cliff from one block...but that's ok, life is hard, we need something simple).
I was wondering this, cause I am building a giant underground bunker, but I am new, so I am experimenting and learning all the time...and in fact I might start streaming this cause it is quite big and I am a noob, so for all the newcomers, I might want to show how I learn things, cause this game is amazing, I am studying civil engineering, this opens up your imagination to anything you want, taking actually machines and their mechanics, but scaled up, I can't wait to learn programming, great vid, I will subscribe🤙
The centre of the earth lil galaxy at the end was really calming.
Now I have Diggy Diggy Hole stuck in my head.
I would rly want 10h version of "Cubes in Orbit"
I remember a couple years ago SAGE did something like this and there was a limit. I wonder why they changed it.
Several Fighters because people would want to do this very thing.
I'd love to know the optimal number of guns and the layout to prevent someone from raiding your base, it's a thing that people would say is impossible but I think there's a certain way to the layout and number of guns.
Survival or creative?
You can't have too many guns
Center of the earth blocks galaxy is strangely soothing. Great episode!
This is the most relaxing music and background I've ever ever seen... oh wait, that's happening in a game
Imagine building a mass driver that accelerates a projectile all the way through the earth.
It would be really cool to have some kind of weapon that burrows through a planet to attack a base on the other side!
Excellent ending. Thanks for leaving that there.
Actually if you hollowed out the center of the earth you would be able to walk around in the outside of the sphere because now everything you dug through would be the center. Which would also probably mess up all of the outside crust’s gravity killing everyone
I'm not sure about walking around on the hollowed area. While you would certainly have the gravity of what you dug through pulling you up, you would also have the gravity of the other side of the planet pulling you down. I'd imagine those would more or less equalize.
Oh ya good point
Try making a ship which builds detonateble warheads and then drops them into the hole. I want to know how fast you can reach the middle
Gravity is directly correlated with the mass of an object, so if you were to dig to the center of the earth and have a hollowed out area as you've done, you'd actually be pulled to the walls slowly as the mass of the earth is now around you, wanting to pull you in all directions.
All hail to the content creator! I loved your job, keep it up. You can do this
15:50 this thing is getting a selfie from it self, smart miner
Gives a whole new meaning to journey to the center of the earth. I was hoping to find the last of the lost :D. That would be intresting.
The answer is a resounding YES! A friend and I are working on doing this for a resource transit system, and we started out out with the Moon, which went off without a hitch. We have yet to start on the Earth-Like, but the lunar results were quite promising
I don't know if you're still doing these video/myth busting, but;
A.) This was fantastic, and I think SE should adopt your blocks floating around the core as part of their intro screens or something.
B.) I've managed to built a very stable digger like your #2 rig, but unpiloted. It has full storage and refinery and assembler on-board and goes down very smoothly.
C.) My goal is to keep that digger going, and have it create a conveyor out of it's back end, that remains connected to the surface. Similar to building a space elevator, but in reverse. I am having trouble creating this last piece though, as keeping it connected as it descends has proven quite difficult and perhaps beyond my limited feeble mind to produce. Any idea's would be phenomenal.
All the floating blocks would make an excellent screen saver.
This game amazes me for the fact that a round voxel entity with 60km radius can be fully destroyed without crashing the game! Several games out there have some sort of limitations on how destructible you can be, this one haven't. Its glorious!
You should have put a grave. generator In the center. It screws EVERYTHING up (at least on my computer). Btw great video
23:01 reminded me of when I was *trying* to land on the Mun in Kerbals
Excellent thumbnail text and video length overlay. Reads "Journey to the center of the Ear"
i have personally tested this quite some time ego, and yes all blocks disappeared after 6 km or so, it is great to see that this is no longer the case.
I did this once. and at the time I did it, stuff just de spawns. But one time I glitched my ship past the de spawn point, and ended up in what looks like haven
Well, that just gave me an idea.
Several tunnels to the centre of the planet, from strategic points on the planet's surface, using very fast elevators (probably modded, don't think that fast elevators exist, unless you use some magic with grav gens).
Voila, you got yourself a fast transport system between vast distant points on the planet.
Add to that a distribution centre on the Moon for automated asteroid miners and a cargo shuttle between the moon and the planet, and you can distribute materials to any point on the planet automatically with ease.
Sure, would take days, possibly weeks to set up, but after that...
The bit with the boxes at the center reminded me of the old windows 98 screen savers :)
That ending would make a nice screensaver.
you said that this is what would happen in real live too if you were to go to the center of the Earth. Just for the physics interested, i would like to tell you that it would be a bit different:
if you were hollow out the center of the earth and walk into it, the gravity would cancel out in every direction, not just the exact center. So if you were in a sphere at the center, no matter how big, you would have (in a perfect sphere) zero g in the whole hollowed out sphere.
the two reasons that Space engineers doesnt simulate this are:
1) they simmulate gravity just from the single point in the center will all the mass.
2) they dont have the gravity law correct.
For those trying to check for themselfes, try to integrate the Force over a spherical hull. you will see that the result is 0 for anywhere inside. If anyone needs help, comment and ill lend you a hand :)
Just some Fun facts about physics :)
When I dug to the center of the planet a few years ago my ship just stopped and wouldn't go any further than a certain point. You could not go any further than that point but when I set mine up if was automated with atmospheric thrusters pointing down and up so that it would descend faster but not to fast, I think I also put gyro scopes on it to help keep it straight as well thrusters on the sides to assist it even more. Also if you right click and then open the blocks menu for the ship your in it will keep the drills on.
The ending is a perfect screen saver
if there was nothing in the center of the earth, you'd be walking on the outside, the "Ground" is what is pulling you, not an arbitrary geometric center. what ever point of you is most massive, would then get pulled to it's nearest "ground" blah blah. bootiful blocks in space engineer's physics. it is satisfying though. gj
The despawning thing is because there used to a insta despawn/kill layer instead for a core.
My guess is it was for those blocks with glitched collision to stop them effecting sim speed indefinitely.
On one hand I like your videos and creativity. On the other hand you have like 5 minutes of entertainment in every 30 minute video because you don't edit out any clip of you gawking in amazement at your own antics.
I really want to like this channel, but I hesitate clicking any video once I see it's from you and look at the length of the video.
5 minute videos attract no monetary value.
And a father way to dig straight down is to place a warhead, arm it, then dupe it and keep dropping the copies in one spot and you can dig extreamy far very fast
That end part is really funny and cool. What's the music by the way? It sounded like harry potter music except it was a little different.
your voice is so high pitch but other then that i loved the video, idk it just threw me off a little bit but i like the way you do your videos so GJ
The red auto drill was seriously one of the best things I've ever seen in gaming.
it reminded me of my early attempt at an auto miner
25:03 myth confirmied* cause busting a myth would be disproving it.
the myth is that you *can't* get there
I made the floating blocks a screensaver for work. Looks great^^
You sound like Deadpool’s friend in the movie. The funny guy with the glasses. Lol
back in the day they had a thing that setup to make ships get removed of they go to far down but now well you can tell from the video :)
the end of this video was amazing! new sub!
The achievement when your Space Elevator in Survival goes all the way through from orbit to orbit! Please build that ^^
That's so fucking cool how they modelled the gravitational forces at the center. I don't think they expected one to easily get there but all the maths check out there for the gravity. It's amazing.
Now I know what the DVD logo feels like.
the ending was super relaxing!
the final is perfect! nice video!
Just like others have said the floating cubes should have been the thumbnail I'd have clicked this 10x faster if I saw that first instead of watching it the next day after I saw the thumbnail yesterday.
Funny you should mention this. 2 hr version of floating cubes coming soon :)
Great video but what would be really cool is if you made an elevator that goes from space through the center of earth and out to space again on the other side. If you started from space and got into gravity and started falling would you go down and through and out to space on the other side or would you lose velocity before getting to the space on the opposite side of the planet? Can you target yourself from space to a hole through the center without an elevator? Probably not, I would guess.
I left a drill unattended for a few sessions and it managed to drill to the centre of the earth. it takes 20 mins to fly down the hole!
That view of drifting cubes should be a space engineers pause screen or screen saver...
That floating blocks thing is totally a screensaver. :D
Just found your channel!! A good balance of cuts an montages great series keep it up
That's really cool now can you go straight through the planet to the other side
you should make 10 hours of boxes floating around
you can create the same this with 2 gravity generators, 1 pull and 1 push,1 pulling is set to more range, looks awesome
If you press right/left click twice quick enough it keeps drilling by itself, so it wasn't glitched I guess
I've sorta done this intelligently before. I don't know if the bug that made you phase through the surfaces are still a thing since it was years ago that I encountered it, but if you were going fast enough something and hit the ground at the correct angle you'd fly right through and I wasn't using any mods at the time. I mean I didn't place any blocks like that, but I fell to the center of the planet and had a similar experience to what you had (minus the orbiting blocks).
shouldve gone straight through like straight so you cold fall all the way, experiment by seeing if your velocity would bring you to the other side or how far you would go before return to center. then also cubes probably a hundred a second in between then see from center what happens. afterwards a fun little armed warhead time, do the same with the warheads armed, take the big ones, its really important to keep the tunnel straight so that nothing bounces.. :P
