I use 450/400 speed mode with a certain skybox. That speed limit is seemingly good, I think. I would like add my mods that I'm using in my server which I think they are essential or must-have mods. 1. Stone Duster (it helps you eliminate stones filling up in your cargos and drills while mining. ) 2. Colorful Icons and also Color Hud. 3. Zer0's Tweaks - Vanilla Lights ( it helps to increase the range of spotlights. I think in vanilla, the range is ridicilously short. ) 4. Lighting Profiles ( it allows you to create a profile of a light's panel information (color, offset, intensity etc...). So you can load into another light. Basically copy/paste. ) 5. Autofill Bottles ( it helps you to refill your bottle while you charging your suit ( if everything sets correctly ) ) Thanks for the video btw. And sorry for my Japanese. Cheers.
Just a caution in regards to the speed mod(s). If you like your subgrids, I would keep your ships at lower speeds. Currently with all the phantom forces, this could lead to disaster for your designs, particularly in multiplayer servers where bad latency will literally separate your grids sometimes.
A mod I always use which only changes cosmetic things is the LCD Building Signs mod. It is a few years old but gives some great signs to place on LCDs around your ship or base so you can tell what a certain section or structure is for. It has signs for things like spaceport, medical, mess hall and lots of others and I love how they look on transparent LCDs. The sign can be placed next to a door for example labelling the room or structure and is transparent so it acts like a window at the same time.
just started playing with a couple of friends and did some creative I built a massive ship that was like half engine and half fuel, with the purpose of crashing into my friend's base at 1% of c, when I found out that the limit in vanilla is 100 m/s I was pissed, thankfully there are mods tha fix that!
Even AQD's expansion leaves a lot to be desired. Half Slope Inverted, great block for adding some depth and detail, god forbid you should want to use it on an outside corner though. Base game only has the inside corner and there is no armour expansion I've come across that has the outside corner for it. I don't know why this block doesn't exist. And it bothers me on a near daily basis.
BuildInfo is another one of those mods that should be run as a plugin so you just have it all the time. I feel for console users and their inability to use plugins.
Speed limit increase changes everything! But I do like the airfoil/wings mod. Helps a ton with early game aircraft creation, and atmospheric missile creation But my most essential mod is the Modular Encounters. I love actually having some PvE combat
Sadly I don't think you can, PS5 or any console hates mods and it's extraordinarily difficult to mod for console. That's not for space engineers specifically it is just for any game on console.
Are you able to make a console variant? I know some mods can be cross-plat, but weaponcore for example, and I think the text info one can't be console mods.
I am currently learning how the ai system works myself. It is quite new so I don't feel very confident making any content on it until I further understand it. It is planned in the future though to make videos covering it. :)
Very Frustrating. I have a nice mic yet cant seem to make it sound the way I want. You're not the first person to talk about the mic quality. I've been tinkering with it for a while but I'm thinking of just getting a new mic since I can't seem to get this one to work the way I want to. Right now I use a Rode NT-1. Currently I don't got a lot of money to spend on a new mic so I've been searching Craigslist for a 2nd hand mic.
I use Adobe Premiere Pro, and I use OBS to record. Im hoping my next video i put out will have better audio. we will see. I made some more adjustments.
I think you may be a little confused about what 'vanilla' means. As soon as you add a block mod to the game it is no longer vanilla. A vanilla grid is one that is made from blocks that are in the default game. If you see a ship on the workshop that says it is vanilla, then you do not need to load any mods to build it. QOL (Quality of Life) mods on the other hand are the ones that should be included in this list.... Build Vision, Build Info, Recolorable Thrusters, HUD Compass etc. these just enhance the gameplay but not change your grids. The idea being that you can take your vanilla blueprints to any server and build them, whether they have mods loaded or not.
these are mods to "enhance" vanilla. technically it is modded but its still very similar to vanilla experience without changing so much to where it is no longer recognizable.
I have 9000 hours in this game and know exactly what is meant by vanilla. As you're having difficulty understanding the concept I'll put it a different way. Keen's Official Servers are vanilla. If you can recreate your grid on one of their servers it's a vanilla grid. If you add a block, say, from Weaponcore you won't be able to do that. A vanilla grid can be recreated on ANY server. Now, a QOL (Quality of Life) mod is something like Build Info/Vision etc. that do not affect a grid, they just change your experience in the game. I hope this makes it clear.@@BlackIndigenousPosse
@@rickybeeSEIronically you are having problems understanding the subject of the video. Nobody is claiming these mods are vanilla. They are meant to enchance vanilla and provide a better but similar experience that doesnt’t stray too far from the core vanilla experience.
I agree with you for things like Build Info, they just enhance the game experience and doesn't make any difference to the grids you create. But a grid is either vanilla or not, no gray area. You can't add modded blocks and call it vanilla, full stop, it's black and white.@@meemimies216
Build Vision, Welding and detaching, Clean LCD, NanoBot Build and Repair (Drill if I need to make a perfect hole for a base or hangar), Build Colors, Missile rebalance, Frame work mods - Text HUD API, Rich HUD API, Scope API, Binoculars, camera pan, Sneaky Sounds (Must HAVE!!!) I never Play Vanilla. Vanilla Game play experience is essencial but Vanilla game play is retarted. You should experience Vanilla game play to appreciate the mods listed here. There is just too many to list in my opinion also the mods you use changes depending on your scenario you play.

That’s not bad, I personally use a 250-350 mod. I love japan!
Boy I hope Keen is deep diving into the modding community for notes now that they're making SE2.
Sneaky Sounds is my only must-have mod.

Its worth the risk my friend lol
@@Wyzmar : It's more a concern at over ~400 m/s anyways. That's still eons better than 100.
Haha ikr . It’s way better than 100m/s

thats a cool one, might have to check it out!

Yup! IMO 100 m/s is just way too slow.
2:48 Should be in vanilla. It's been years and we're still pigeonholed by 2x1 being our steepest possible slope. At least 4x1 please.
True

I agree, I keep build info loaded on my plugging loader all the time
Love the vid my guy.
thank you!
@@Wyzmar Keep up the good work!
What is your favorite mod? 😃
Speed limit increase changes everything!
But I do like the airfoil/wings mod. Helps a ton with early game aircraft creation, and atmospheric missile creation
But my most essential mod is the Modular Encounters. I love actually having some PvE combat
I like npc and encounter mods best. There's not enough random encounters in vanilla to quench this thirsty pirate.
Build Vision is one of the best mods imo
I have heard very good things about modular encounters mod!
PvE Fantasy SMH lol
how do I turn off the weapon core lock thingy use I want to use the vanilla one for perfect shots with fighters
What do you mean by perfect shots?
@@Wyzmar I think he means camera shots
@@Wyzmar what I mean by that is the target lock
smoth voxels, those cragies are nover gona get your rover ever again
Q tech mod pack though it's meant for bigger ships, will be downloading optimization pack
Can we use these on the ps5?
Sadly I don't think you can, PS5 or any console hates mods and it's extraordinarily difficult to mod for console. That's not for space engineers specifically it is just for any game on console.
Are you able to make a console variant?
I know some mods can be cross-plat, but weaponcore for example, and I think the text info one can't be console mods.
I’m not sure what mods console has
Could you please make a video on the best ai settings for warship and fighters? My ships keep chasing each other off into space and I don't know why.
I am currently learning how the ai system works myself. It is quite new so I don't feel very confident making any content on it until I further understand it. It is planned in the future though to make videos covering it. :)
@@Wyzmar Thanks!
@@Wyzmar I get the feeling that drone fighters are going to become very popular, even on small ships.
for sure, AI has already shifted the way most people play space engineers :)
Love the videos but on thing you should definitely do is invest in a quality microphone it just makes the experience better
Very Frustrating. I have a nice mic yet cant seem to make it sound the way I want. You're not the first person to talk about the mic quality. I've been tinkering with it for a while but I'm thinking of just getting a new mic since I can't seem to get this one to work the way I want to. Right now I use a Rode NT-1.

I use Adobe Premiere Pro, and I use OBS to record. Im hoping my next video i put out will have better audio. we will see. I made some more adjustments.
