    I have 4819 hours today and STILL cannot create more than a brick or box in building. You sir have a gift which allows you to create functional and good looking builds, many of which I still use. Hats off to your skills and thank you for thinking I could do something similar!

      That's 5X more time than me. I can create nice stuff, but the problem I have is how long that takes. I started on a new CV a week ago and Im probably about 5% into the design of the skeleton. The CVs Ive built before dont get done until after one or two versions come out and need redesigning before they are even published. Spanj seems to be able to knock out a CV in 8hrs, whereas for me even 8 weeks would be a miracle

      Yep, you need to have some artistic ability to create nice looking ships/buildings. That is something I learned long ago, I don't have. So I build bricks that function well, but are ugly.

    Nice basic build guide!
    HV: If have the green hovers (4) and add some blue (2-4), then the green ones will still work directional. Add a couple of thrusters facing backwards then a small HV works fine early on climbing most mountains, maybe add a RCS.
    BA: Bases can be built in space, then no SI. Some POI bases can be floating, but regular player can not place one, have no SI.

    Also if you try your hand at building do not go into it expecting you can make the same kinds of things you see on the workshop right away! I mean if you can, great, but most of the people you see posting amazing builds have had hundreds or thousands of hours of practice. I would recommend either Spanj's Chillin & Buildin or one of JRandall's videos if you want to see the block shapes in action!

    15:00 if you replace 6 of the initial blocks with thrusters and just put a chair on it instead of the full cockpit along with the generator and fuel tank the SV will fly just fine. That's the minimum you need to get around on an O2 planet. You don't need 14 thrusters to make a working SV.

    Not sure if this was mentioned or not, but you can "copy the shape of a block" to learn what it is, and lay it out in sequence to see how blocks go together. To Copy, hold down CTRL + right mouse, this also copies the colour, texture and rotation...works for copying paint colour onto the gun as well (please comment if this is wrong key combination) ... also in creative, you can take a block (steel) and copy an item to duplicate it whilst building, really handy if you can see the item, but arent sure where to find it in the item menu.

    Good video to update your older "How To..." video.

I haven't played RE but the guys should to create a mod of just their new graphics that we can plug into the game to give it a facelift without playing RE.

    Helpful... to a brand new player who hasn't yet tried Reforged Eden it'll be informative if not a little confusing with the differences in CPU. Though it should translate effectively.

    Really good tutorial for beginners like me. I'm not there yet but wondering how the finished SV and CV builds sit up high with the landing gear/feet when you've building them on a flat surface? Are these just parts place on the base level or below it during construction. Do they lift the vessel up once placed or when you land the first time? Thanks 😊.

    • @Spanj
      @Spanj  11 місяців тому

      Thanks :) Landing gears are a pain when building on the surface of a planet, sometimes easier to build in space in creative mode for that but if you do want to build on planet, you can use carbon blocks to build "stilts" from the starter block, then just delete the core, and place a new core on top of the stilts and build from there.

    If Empyrion had the building freedom of Space Engineers, I would give it more of a chance. Empyrion won't even let you spin a block to a precise position. So it's next to impossible to build a base between two hills and line it up. The having to place a Core to even get started is ridiculous. Super frustrating build system compared to SE.

    • @Spanj
      @Spanj  9 місяців тому +1

    Hopefully they have fixed the bug that made all the stored power in your base disappear. It happened to me twice and of course all the food instantly spoils as well. I actually won't play the game again until it is fixed because it basically stuffs up your entire game. Also the bug where you just fall out of your ship and plummet to the ground. At some point the game appears to crash but you are still flying in your ship. So when you reboot you find your ship still stuck in the air a distance from where you dropped to the ground and you have to go into God mode to get back into the ship.

    I just jumped into the game after being out of the game for years, the portable constructer is demanding five "carbon substrate" to build, is their a fix or am I screwed? I have only tried creative so far, but why would it be any different in survival?
    EDIT:
    I looked at the wiki and it said catch 22.
    A portable constructor requires five carbon substrate. Carbon substrate is made with crushed stone. Here is the catch 22 part. Put two crushed stone into small, large, or advanced constructor to make one carbon substrate. But you haven't any access to these machines because they are too advanced. In order to make a small constructer put the required materials into your portable constructer. But you don't have a portable constructor because it requires carbon substrate that you don't have access to. This game is borked! What type of hack do you need to do to change the required materials of the portable constructor to five iron?

    Weapon systems are a joke (no target lock, turrets still behave according to their setting which you can't change in combat).
    Is weapons range still around 1 Kilometer?
    Star Trek Online or World of Warships is the way to handle big vessels, not this. Which is a shame. because i used to put a lot of time and efford into Empyrion, but hoping things would change... no. Life is too short for this.

    this game is good but... a little bit too boring and graphics really sucks

      The dev is still actively trying to fix that. Infact, a road map for the year was released in the last couple of days that addressed some of the boredom aspects as a new scenario is being added and AI Drones are being added for players and fractions other than Zirax.

      All sandbox games can get boring. It helps if you set yourself a goal or roleplay a story as you play. Easy to forget this is a sandbox game if you play with the RE mod, even the basic game has quite a lot to keep you busy for a while. Graphics dont matter as much in games where the gameplay is good
