As a new player with only 80 hours in and only having built a single (rather dull looking) base and some vaguely drivable rovers, I am astounded at the creativity here. Man built a goddamn pirate ship tabletop game. That works! One day I hope to build a cool ship or base that looks even a single percent as awesome as these things. Maybe in another 1000 hours!
I love these videos, not just because of the cool things you create, but also how nonchalant you are about the cool things. You even casually just move through your examples skipping over things that are minor to you, but still mind blowing for others. Every video I'm just glued to the screen thinking "this guy" and then two minutes later I'm saying it again even more amazed.
I've watched a lot of SE how tos but nothing tops the level of creativity your stuff has. I'd just never have thought to use some of these blocks in these ways. Looks super super cool
Good lord, projectors might be some of the most useful blocks in game for aesthetics, I never imagined. Thank you for the absolutely outstanding video! Gives em so many great ideas!
... if there is just one person deserving the achievement master engineer ... you got a very high propability to be the one. Always impressive and inspiring.
How does this not have hundreds of thousands of views, this was so cool an useful :D Your designs are something else! Incredible work! I was just wondering the other day about using projectors to create some animations but this is so much more! Thanks you so much for this super useful knowledge and great presentation! This deserves more recognition for sure!
This entire video has blown my mind with what a little creativity can do for aesthetics when you care more about the immersion than the "practicality" of the game mechanics. Absolutely amazing work.
1. In your pirate game, you could add some waves using three pistons moving a cluster of projectors that turn on and off as the waves rise and lower their projections beneath fixed point. You could use a few of these clusters and load each projector semi randomly from a few sets of "waves." 2. If you ever want to do a PONG animation that might be simple in one sense. But would be a fun aesthetic to add to a large room. 3. The Console Block allows large grid blocks to be projected at a reduced size... and is even SIZABLE. You could use small projections of jump drives, large reactors, catwalks, etc to make some interesting details.
Ronin again with the clever feedback. Awesome ideas with the waves and pong, those would be fun to do. I originally mentioned the console block in the scene with the fish tank but I cut it out for time considerations. It's a great block but pretty limited in the range of travel for the projections.
We are working on the knowledge here, skill comes from implementing that knowledge, and patience to stick with it until it becomes what you want it to be.
projecting a thruster frame in front of the cockpit camera to create a reticle in the flying zoid is one of the most ingenuitive things I've ever seen.
Oh man, everything looks so nice! I love the mechanization of all those robot arms and the planets at the end are so simple but so nice. Great video again, I've been underusing projectors! Thanks for reinspiring me to make cool stuff in SE. In my most recent build, I used custom legs inspired by one of your older designs (the vulture fighters I think). Now time to add some projectors!
Holy Clang! the more i watched the reactor part the more my jaw dropped from amazement, after over 3000h in SE i was arrogant enough to think i knew almost everything, oh boy how humble have you made me feel after watching all of your advanced tips videos lol!
I continue to love how space engineers is literally engineering It gives you pistons, rotors and hinges and you can make pretty much anything These designs are amazing
So creative what you have done with projectors. All of your tips for improving space engineers are great. They are going to save me so much time on my current project.
Inspiration, damn dude your freakin insane, these are AWESOME, makes me want to go thru every build ive made again lol , your a Space Engineer Artist. Im surprised the Bottom of the pirate ship game under the water isnt concrete pattern to hide those lines 8) look more like sand under water. But the ship moved, BLEW my Mind I was not ready for that, to Cool.
Thanks Boom! I probably will change it to concrete. I thought the current texture looked a little like whitecaps on the water which is why I didn't change it.
This is again really impressive. I have used projectors mainly as aiming guides, like your thruster but with ground down 1x1 windows. It has a center ridge and is incredebly accurate. Also used projectors for aiming a stabby weapon on a battlebot. We didnt allow camera's on them so a red "laser" beam helped a lot. I think i was aware of the potential of these blocks but none the less you inspired a lot again :D
@@BlackArmor718 Lol no I was thinking more about bypassing the primary use of a block ! (Sorry for my imprecise vocabulary, English is not my mother tongue, google translate helps me a lot but we all know that it can make us talk nonsense!)
I used the concrete armor with a delicate colour change to hide just underneath the surface of mars because it was under an enemy factions control. It worked as an amazing camouflage until they saw the underground voxel damage and took it while I was offline.
@@BlackArmor718 Oh, my god! This is probably the most useful tutorial I have ever seen in my life! I always love your creations，which are the best space engineers works i've ever seen. Thank you for your tutorial, I think everyone should watch your tutorial, cuz this is super helpful!! Really appreciate your work. hope you could make more XD
Great video, I learnned alot. One tiny gripe I have is that your ingame sound is quite loud compared to your voice, it sounds like you are recording in a desert. Love the videos please keep them coming
The actual problem is I am not a loud speaker or used to talking a lot and I have to amplify the sound to get the levels up. However to compensate I could turn down the game volume some more.
THIS IS very helpful. Any chance you could try explaining complicated pistons, hinges, rotors and timer blocks used in any combination with a future video?
@@BlackArmor718 thanks a million man. There's a lot of people out there looking to improve their skills and many of us don't have the scripting skills to truly realize some of our designs. You're a saint. :D
@@BlackArmor718 oh... Um... oof. Still, you're REALLY good at what you do man. I'm definitely going to try applying some of what you provided in this video. I'd love to learn how those mechanical welding arms work timer block-wise. That must have taken a while to make each individual arm. xD
@@dexketristo2349 They all start in the same position and have the same limits. There's 4 different joints that I have to work with, and I think I used 6-7 timers for the cycle. But essentially I just reversed the joints randomly throughout the cycle, making sure that by the end they return to the original position
ive also used a projector for a range fineder /aiming rectical for a ships broadside bank of rocket launchers. I love how you used it here. I wish the real game could do that instead of using the short and long sides of the ship's stat card.
21:30 was it boston dynamics or amazon which showed a video of a "packing" robot grabbing packets and trowing/tacking them on/of a production line. Very similar to this here hrhr :) nicely done
Me as I watch BA's creations, " SWEeet! I'm going to go play some SE and create something... Yes!". Also, me as I get into SE game..."? Well .. hmmph?? I Guess I can go mine something." (Break Time) heheheh Truly an awesome sight to see what can be created when you let your imagination run wild and literally have no limits. I sure hope you have professional aspirations in life to unlocking more potential that benefits you to achieve all your dreams!
@@Voidlingstudiosofficial I don't get the reference but sounds about right! Actually I used a console, not a projector, and instead of putting it on a large circular track, I just set the horizontal offset to max and slapped it on a slow rotor so that he orbits around the console.
From what I can tell, that room modeled after Star Citizen is supposed to be the central hub at Port Olisar where you would go to pull ships or meet with buddies before heading out through the side doors to access the airlocks
Nice me and my brother's took a sheet of plywood and sanded /pained it with map lines and made marbled blue paint to make it look like an ocean then made little islands out of foam and sand ... It looked really nice. Was so fun!
Amazing, your World building abilities are on an amother level. When you started your "Reactor" i expected an Explosion and a Portal to appear for some reason.
6:15 - I can tell you _the_ better way than a download. Blueprint your root block, open its SBC file (in %appdata%\SpaceEngineers\Blueprints\local\yourblueprintedroot\) in a text editor, change false to true, or if it doesn't exist, insert true before , save the file, delete the SBCB5 file next to the SBC file (SE regenerates it as needed), and start pasting.

What is shown here is perhaps the best Ive seen Space Engineers look.
You seen the weapon core tournaments?
That pirate ship game is the most impressive thing I've ever seen in SE
Nevermind, that base is astounding

Your builds always outshine everything I see on UA-cam, well done
All I can say is thanks
That intro still amazes me every time.
right? ive never seen any other space engineers youtuber does this and he did it amazingly.

Appreciate it Josh that’s a really cool comment
This guy enslaved clang and harnesses it's power.
He is the Fabricator-General.

The man, the myth, the legend. Dude, these are all so freaking cool.

Couldn't agree more
Unfortunately they lag out clients on multiplayer servers if you have too many, especially if the server has a bunch of mods
When I was at MIT I witnessed some amazing things being created. Watching this fills me with the same sense of awe and inspiration.

my soul flew out of my body when i saw that planet hologram
Thanks!
I really wish I had any of the skill/knowledge and patience that you must have to build the things you do.
We are working on the knowledge here, skill comes from implementing that knowledge, and patience to stick with it until it becomes what you want it to be.
Never actually heard you voice love the builds keep up the great work and thank for the tips
Will do bud, thanks

Oh my god what did I just watch..amazing!
I have never seen space engineers like this.... im so impressed
Appreciate it 80okas
To be honest I'd watch one minute or two of intro, it's just so good
Haha good, it won't get old then. I have it going on a loop in my world where it sticks them on then takes them off

Glad to have passed on some good info to you
That intro though!!!
Works so well for the cockpits, really smooth
Nothing like it!
just amazing, true imagination and art put together with mechanical space building. Really does give more inspiration for my future builds!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Awesome glad to hear it
I love that Pirates ship game! Ive collected about w/o of the ships including the HMS Dauntless. My daughter is going to Flip when she sees this!
That's it, you've inspired me to build robots on a whole new scale. Thank you.

U now have my respect and as a new space engineer I will study you and learn all your secrets old wise master

Thanks a lot!
These tricks and your efforts are totally awe-inspiring, total Respect to this guy who is simply mind blowing.

Awesome tips Pal !
Your way of hijacking stuff is just awesome, thanks for sharing !
And the creations presented are just magnificent !
By hijacking are you referring to making replicas?

Proceeds to annihilate my entire brain
I didnt even think you could grab an ingot block like you did... thats hilarious .. hehe

Thank you very much!
Getting some serious half-life vibes from these. Good work!
Thanks!

very creative. i like grabby boy he is cool. i like how you use black blue and silver or grey like i do. hats off to you mr armour
Intro is nice addition.
Wow I am truly impressed after just two of your videos I decided to subscribe. Absolutely amazing content
Sweet, welcome
I have used a projector as a laser for a Ion frigate. I have not used projectors all that much like this, guess I will get started.
You just earned yourself another subscriber these videos are great and really helps my creativity gonna have to use some of these examples
Perfect! Welcome Keenan
Your bvuilds are so amazing, nice work.
Appreciate it!
Very creative and well presented.
Thank you very much
God I love that you built Zoidz.😍 They look so good. Favorite show as a kid.
wow, amazing work and a great ideas tutorial. love your work man. thanks for your time and effort
Your work makes Space Engineers look far better than it is designed to be. Keen should probably pay you if they haven't already!
