What's hilarious is that is Hal's mindset. When you get experienced enough that Weaver starts your training on Type 2 reactors, explaining about safeing them by cutting off fuel and coolant, Hal is all "or you can just rip that puppy out and barge it quick!"
@@WNytes Thing is, Hal's method works just fine. Even if you rip it straight out, you still have plenty of time to barge it, as long as you stripped away the outer hull first.
@@SlyRoapa In a way, the difference between Weaver's and Hal's mentality mirrors the difference in a real world vs gaming approach to things. Playing as a gamer you can go pretty fast and loose - the game is pretty forgiving except for Atlas engines randomly murdering you - but if you're trying to role play as someone with a reasonable sense of self preservation, you're gonna play it a lot safer
You know, for someone who hasnt played the game they might think "oh hey this is pretty good". If you have played the game this is making your heart race and think "oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck"

Ok, now that I’ve tried to dig into this game’s audio myself, I have a greater appreciation for what this video is. Edit: I put the soundtrack on UA-cam. It’s mixes are different than these, some better, some worse, but mostly insignificant. ua-cam.com/play/PLAlZj3w4wjC-Xvk7Et7Xwie49Y-ClGfj3.html I’m working on getting reduced variants uploaded as well, and also the reactor meltdown music Hardspace shipbreaker has an excellent dynamic music system. But it’s made of layers, as it needs to be able to drop the synth whenever tension ends, and fade into high quality after sufficiently long enough time. this video had to mash mutually exclusive sound layers together, because the high definition soundtrack and the synth tension part never occur simultaneously, which is a complete shame. I don’t know what it’s like working with .wem files, I have no experience and was scared off by having to sign up to audiokinetics to get wwise, the tool for this audio file type, but I’m sure glad someone did. Dynamic soundtracks are usually disappointingly poorly converted into static music, and the official game OST on steam doesn’t have any synth whatsoever (but does have two copies of every song, except labor of love which is completely missing????) Overall, thanks for giving me my favourite sci-fi music to listen to while playing completely unrelated games
this is common for most games that uses Audiokinetic Wwise. i did so archeology on Papo & Yo which also has a dynamic music system and the same middleware. i even had the pleasure to exchange some mails with the composer of the game about it.
1. Frontierbound 2. Suthern Gothic 3. Salvation 4. Long road 5. Holding on The Unknowns, in case you were wondering. Also, the one labeled "Holding on" is actually "Hitched High Rail"
Okay I thank you for making this version, but the HELL YOU MEAN "SKIP TRAVELER"?! It it probably the best synth mix out of all of them, next to "Project L"!
@@SideQuestStories That's actually pretty dope, I don't think I ever heard them. I just fell in love with the Americana/working man vibe. It's so good.
58:00 Still here, still listening, still never seen anything of that game. In fact, I just read the description two minutes ago to realize the title of this vid's the title of a game. I guess I'm gonna have to take a look at it if this is the soundtrack.
I know it's a LOT to ask, but any chance you could upload each track individually? Or, at the very least, tell me where I can rip the files from and how, please? I'm no good with computers, but if you could point me in the right direction, that'd be a kindness!
i'm imagining the speedruns i see where someone sacrifices their life and limb to get 1.4 million dollars in one shift. that gameplay doesn't really fit the music but that's the only thing that's playing as they rip parts off the ship without regard to the fuel and coolant lines lighting them on fire and freezing them solid
@@SideQuestStories I don't remember it that way, but I'll take your word for it. So ouch, I wonder how I ever tolerated that - must've been distracted by the manual labor.
I agree, but it's also true this is how it plays in-game. I think the reason that that in-game isn't so obvious is that the music was playing normally at first, it switches over to the synth for a few seconds while something intense/you fucked up is happening, and then goes back to normal. And a lot of the time your radio breaks and you get squat, so I think this is why you never really notice it being two songs at once.! For me, listening to them on their own, it's a hit and a miss, some I like, some I don't, but to each their own!
The synth here is designed for the game's tense moments when there is a hazard, which is why it has to overpower the acoustics during those moments. The synth isnt part of the game's OST, this video ripped the audio mixes from game files most likely
"Mutants, we're used to be quiet in this desert, but now these punks from the subs organize hoverbike races, it flies all that radioactive dust to our insect farms, we must complain to GPT 31, is anybody have enough creds to afford a legit implant ?"
This is so good! I'm not familiar with the game at all, is there anywhere to get/hear the synth part of the soundtrack outside of the game? Did you mix this together yourself?

Started playing this at my job (security/EMT). Perfect atmosphere for watching the sunrise waiting for a medical call.

The Traveler (Yeet The Reactor Remix)
Western Sci Fi Americana + Synthwave = Ear Ecstasy
Indeed. If anyone knows of more music like this, please share it!
These are so awesomely INTENSE. It's fantastic. The hard rhythm mixed with the calm music is a potent combo.
Man I've been jamming to this for hours.
1. Frontierbound
2. Suthern Gothic
3. Salvation
4. Long road
5. Holding on
The Unknowns, in case you were wondering. Also, the one labeled "Holding on" is actually "Hitched High Rail"
"We made this music great, because it's the last one you'll ever hear. With this spare anyway..."
This is an entirely different flavor Synth music then I have found before. This really hit the spot for me.
Mothership rpg approved
Awesome mix
Good point might use it for my moon base blues session next week
This is perfect for playing Satisfactory.
Start at 5:28 if you don't want The Traveler to drive you crazy.
Okay I thank you for making this version, but the HELL YOU MEAN "SKIP TRAVELER"?!
It it probably the best synth mix out of all of them, next to "Project L"!
@@barragethree5047 It's not to skip it, it's to reduce the mix of it from a ridiculous 10:56 to 5:28 runtime.
@@chiffmonkey It is not long enough for me. I love it! It's become my 'therapy music'.
Great mix my guy!!
You've taken the soundtrack of one excellent game and made it deeply appropriate for Space Engineers. I approve.
This is the ingame soundtrack, just versions that were never publicly released.
@@SideQuestStories Waaaaait, really?

Been diving back into this one at home.
Currently hyping myself up for imminent end of IRL shift.
the "dayum im making more debt with this mistake" mix
“Oxygen critical. Warning: Excess carbon dioxide can result in damage to Lynx company equipment.”
Just cutting up ships and chilling with the music when you accidentally grab a removable panel with your grapple and pull... RIP cutter lol
Oh no, reactor melting flashbacks....
couldn't call it firefly synth, eh? alright, I'll take it.
thank you
I don't know why but the Synth version of The Traveler is giving me a feeling like I just removed a class 2 reactor... by accident 😳☠️
Aren't the synth versions the "danger" versions of the OST that play when you fucked up?
The "Oh shit, it's gonna blow!!!" mix
Honestly like these versions better than the official releases; their mix of the "synth" track is a little too subtle for my taste.
Reminds me of Borderlands ambience
beautiful art

Keep it going, never stop. Instruments more less vocals >.
Im a little annoyed that the synth parts arent included in the OST on steam. Theyre arguably the best part of the soundtrack!
Precisely why I put this together.
Haha yeah...
Bit of a miss for me. Many of these just sound like two completely separate songs played simultaneously.
