For those finding this more recently, I've made an updated version with some extra information and hopefully some improvements which you can find here ua-cam.com/video/zUE3q1ph8qg/v-deo.html
As time flies it is incredible what an adventure it was. Just watching your scrapyard serries and the fun is the same as it was those years ago. Thanks mate :)
@@shawiiksa2753 In my first playthrough I just started digging straight down right with my landing pod and found a bunch of cobalt immediately. I always got so confused when people talked about not being able to find any cobalt lol
@@Splitsie You're welcome! I'll update the inventory script again this weekend because I found some things that I overlooked, like stone processing in basic refineries for ingots and some autocrafting stuff.. So stay tuned for that 😉
@@DerIsy Ich bewundere Modder, die es schaffen so komplexe Skripte zu schreiben. Ich find nicht mal eine gescheite Dokumentation und die ingame Doku von VS finde ich nicht immer besonders aussagekräftig. Probierst du einfach viel aus oder hast du schon eine gescheite Dokumentation gefunden?
Watched 20 hours of your tutorial and play videos when I first got the game. I've now shown multiple designs, ideas, and possibilities to 5 other friends. Great videos man! Glad that you're getting the fanfare that you deserve! And of course, thank you for making all these videos. It's been instrumental to my own learning experience in the game.
This series taught me all the basics I needed to know and I have always recommended this series to friends and family that get the space engineers game.
Got about 8 hours into the game, just playing through some of the prefab scenario stuff. Decided I was going to go into creative and build a ship. Failed miserably, twice. Really appreciate these tutorials. Gives me a better grasp of where I should be starting and how to do it. Looking forward to more hours in this surprisingly detailed game.
Did you end up playing and enjoying this game? I'm 10 hours in and I'm not having fun. I feel like I have to watch UA-cam videos and mimic what they do or I'm just lost. I can handle an hour of that, but 10 hours of gameplay and I'm still lost?
"The most commonly used is Star System" - which is at the bottom of the list, on the third tab of the "new game" ui. I don't get SE's UI/UX design. I think the new menu in Medieval Engineers is light- years ahead.
Great job on explaining everything I've told anyone and everyone that you are the man to watch when it comes to explaining space engineers and they've come back and telling me that you're awesome so keep up the great work.
@@Splitsie the way you're making the series yes Israel will launch a whole brand new group of people who wants to do UA-cam with space engineers keep up the great work you're awesome splitsie
@@Splitsie >>> I had this game for a few years now and could never get into it. After watching your tutorial i have just updated SE and will give it another go. Great work Splitsie !
Just started building my first out of orbit base, on survival :) Thank you for all the videos, you got me from earth to space on survival for the first time.
Thanks for this tutorial, I bounced off SE hard a couple years ago as I had no idea what I was doing. This gave me a really good grasp of what I need to do without much effort or confusion
Still can't get over how mesmering the into song comes in, I can listen to it for hours and constantly be motivated to go to space, and after every setback, going to this video with this into song gets me back up
This is an amazing tutorial series, my friend and I recently got into the game and were bewildered by the vast ui and menus and possibilities etc etc, this has helped so much. Thank You!!
Totaly agree. I had 498h of play time on very ealry stage of beta. I quit for years, I'm now back and quite lost (damn they add planets !!! XD). Thx a lot for your videos. They are very well made and you clearly know what your talking about.
I just recently got started playing SE and these videos are very informative and helpful to a newbie player like me. Thank you for the excellent work on making these videos. Well done.
Thanks to your tutorials, I've finally started actually getting into SE, but previously I kept stopping after a few hours due to being overwhelmed at all the systems, ect (and also having a crappy PC until 2yrs ago) despite buying the game around 2015-ish. I really, *really* enjoy games where you can just build and mess around with creations (like Besiege, for example or even Minecraft) and sometimes forget there is always a learning curve that I just have to force myself to eventually overcome lol. On another note I wish I watched these 1.5 weeks ago, not now when I only have a few days of annual leave left :/
I really, really wish this video existed before I started playing this game a little over a week ago. It would have saved me some of the frustrations of building in Space Engineers. Though I did get a few pieces of information that I didn't know about. One piece of advice I'd give people, that you didn't, is that if a block isn't placed in the ground it's automatically considered a vehicle and vehicles cannot use wind turbines. In order to convert a vehicle into a station, you need to go into your station's terminal window, selecting the Info tab, and (at the bottom right) clicking on Convert to station.
@@Splitsie Yeah, I didn't realize that my base wasn't an actual immobile base. The plus side is that I later converted it to a vehicle and drove it to an area next to a lake. Before moving it I initially put on some pistons so that I could get wheels on it, but it wouldn't convert back into a vehicle because the pistons I placed were too close to the ground so it acted as if the pistons were in the ground. Either that or the game doesn't like to change pistons from an immobile station to pistons in a mobile vehicle.
Thanks for this. I'm new to SE and I can't believe there are no tutorials except the F1 menu that refers to vaguely un-related videos about building ships instead of getting started. It's a bit ridiculous that I had to come find this video.
i just wana say, thank you, you made me be able to play se and love it, i have been playing now for a while and its the best, again i just wana say thank you
Hey Splitsie, I know this is over a year old but thank you so much. I played with SE back when it first came out then a few times between but I'm now restarting in SP and this was a ton of help. The little things like getting the wind turbine higher (common sense) was a plus. It's nice to see the devs have their thinking caps on and not their arcade ones.
It's weird to think this is a year old - thankfully still accurate (apart from the 500 stone to refine thing) :) Keen have mostly done a good job with that stuff and the bits that have been sacrificed tend to have a gameplay benefit in doing so (just ignore the thermodynamics breaking hydrogen engine and you'll be ok) :P
I want to add i watched this 5 years later. Lol just bought the game because I love stuff like this and just found the gane by accident. I had no idea what I was doing but found your channel after searching how to play. You took me from knowing nothing to knowing a lot! Thanks man
This video is well done! I was seriously having difficulties starting out because the crafting system isn't as intuitive to me as in other games and this really helped me out. Nice job!
I'm going to be covering a 'safe' way to do that in the next video - I've done it with only the blocks on the starter pod (without refining any stone) but it's not a ship that is kind to new players so not well suited to a tutorial :P
@@Splitsie methods that are effective with little resources and just werk are well suited to noobs, thats how we as humans learn, ancestor learns a trick, teaches children
14:14 There is a part where you can add the information to blueprint for when are building so when you goto the survival kit or assembler you can select blueprint and it will add everything you need to build for that specific item to the que . That way you don’t have to remember 😊 I literally just figured that out and I was watching your vids to learn how to play .
I was ready to give up on this game. The tutorials they provide are a joke. I watched this and everything made perfect sense. Thank you, Splitsie! You saved SE!
This is absolutely insane! I need a tutorial for the tutorial, yet here I am playing games like Age of Empires 2 Fast Castle in 13 minutes. If my friends pick up the game, I'll be here for it!
I usually suck at space engineers but I did everything you said and I am doing surprisingly good on the world now. in my opinion you are the best for explaining the (in my opinion) very complicated game so thank you 😊 Edit; grammar and spelling mistakes
I haven't played this game in over two years and forgot a lot about the things you need to do in the early stages. This playlist is just as helpful as it was back then. Thank you for your dedication and patience to teach us the ins and outs of Space Engineers.
This one's going to be 100% vanilla and very tutorial heavy but I'm still going to try to get some style into the designs and get them on the workshop as we go along :)
this was the video about this game that youtube was needing about it... btw I've started playing due to your space engineers series, either alone or with capac, keep up the awesome work!
I've had a lot of fun with it over the years and continue to do so, if you like/liked Lego, then there's a decent chance you'll enjoy this since the creativity of both is quite similar :)
Hehe, while it would have been fun, I thought it might make things a little confusing with a crazy orange suited guy messing about :P He'll be used in the tests wherever possible though ;)
@@Splitsie Was building the wind turbine following your ques...it fell over on the lander before i could even start to weld...smh...how do you delete parts already made and start over?
Just got this game. Did the first scenario. Tried out the second, was getting confused about a few things. Came here, lots of questions answered. Definitely going to be watching more of this series, tyvm!
Now saying one knows nothing about said game, you keep saying "This block may take damage", now where does this damage come from? Asteroids? Indigenous wildlife? Restless natives? Awesome Videos, extremely helpful, keep up the good work good sir.
nothing. Everytime I see content about this game a lot of the things are talked about hypothetically... you wont get attacked, nothings gonna come damage your base. Building massive weapon systems that can only be talked about using hypothetically cause theres nothing to fight. making a giant complex ship that is used for.. traveling an empty sandbox. I dont hate this game, I wanted to love it long ago, but Empyrion Galactic Survival got into my life and everything you build has an actual use. making a base with functioning defenses because you DO get attacked, and making powerful ships because there are large bases, AI Patroling Capital vessels, and space stations to attack. I could go on and on how the Survival aspect in that game is so much better, while also being a bit more simplified, but still very difficult at times. A hostile base with a few turrets on top turns into a sprawling underground compound that can take up to an hour to clear depending on your gear, and getting a great reward in loot and resources for doing so, Its like going into an alien dungeon where some creatures in there can give you parasites, burns, infected wounds, etc that you must beable to treat or risk dying. its SO in depth and I dont care that it doesnt have the physics this game does.
@@BraveCat9927 yeah, you have to install mods to get some pve. With mods it becomes more enjoyable in Singleplayer. But in vanilla there are only small drones, wolves, spiders, depending on your location
noob/me: Places wind turbine on ground level. noob/me: Sees that it isn't enough power so builds 5 more turbines. Splitsie: "For the cost of 15 steel plate you only need 1 wind turbine. Noob/me: um
But it's quite hard. I've been trying for 2h to place the wind turbines just like he did and it won't align with the block under it. I've tried all 3 types of placement modes and it just won't snap into place. I can drop it on a block but it eventually falls, lol.
@@leandroatreides Wind turbines are considerably wider than their 1x1 base. If you're standing/flying inside that space they won't place down. Back up a little and it should go better.
Would it be possible for you to explain what features are disabled in the ‘default’ game compared to the ‘experimental’? All the info I’ve found online seems to be out of date. Thanks for all the great vids, keep up the good work!
That is absolutely something I should do, I might even try to put something together separate to this little series unless I can think of a nice way to integrate it :)
It's been over 2 years since I played this game but I remember your vids from the first time around. After playing over 100 hours I really need this tutorial to refresh my memory. Looking forward to keeping up.
I am a Empyrion neophyte. I enjoy that environment. However, Space Engineers has caught my eye. I have seen many tutorials. I offer the greatest praise for this offering. It is highly intelligent, well organized and extremely informative. It is my first Space Engineers tutorial. I look forward to watching the rest of you work. I know the amount of work required to put something like this together. There is much preparation required. Thank you!
Thanks, when I first got the game I was confused and could never figure anything out so I just decided to forget about the game for a few months and now I am ready to play. Edit Actually I think it has been 2 and a half years that I haven’t played sense I got the game.
Definitely give it a go. SE is awesome game, although at the beginning it might seem a little daunting. Once you watch these tutorials, it should get a lot easier! My favorite thing is to design cool ships and structures in Creative mode and blueprint those. Then, jump into a Survival game and later use those blueprints to build cool stuff, instead of wasting time and resources on trial & error method for everything. :)
As a new player to space engineers thank you for this tutorial. I was very confused but seeing everything explained to me bit by bit in simple terms helped me understand exactly how everything works
As someone getting back into Space Engineers, I just wanted to say thanks for this series. I'm on #4 now, and I already know about 90% more than I ever did when playing before. Keep up the good work.
Okay so I think I'm falling in love with SE.. Now the dillema... Do I keep watching and learning more, or do I bite the bullet, buy the game, and lose another few months like I have already done for so many other games? >.>
tbh (to be honest) I actually haven't looked at other tutorials than this one, I just clicked the first one (splitsie tutorial), this is also the first vid that I watched on this channel.
I only recently got Space Engineers and the DLC through this last Holiday sale, and i have about 2 hours in the game, from doing the two tutorial missions. I came into this video looking for a quick answer about how to set up a survival world, since I clicked the "earth like planet" mission and immediately backed out. You answered the question I had going into this, and something hooked me to stay and see what else you had to say. I didn't even realize that almost 30 minutes had passed until I had finished the video. I learned a lot of new things which I didn't even touch on in the tutorial missions, such as GPS and Conveyor Pipe Specifics. Personally, i would like to thank you for making this video so in depth but not confusing to me coming in as a fresh new baby engineer, because the tutorial videos that come with the game felt text bookish, but this video made me feel like if my friend was shooting the shit with me while explaining something.
Thanks so much for the kind words, very happy my intent with the style carried through in how it was received. When I'm recording these I tend to imagine that I'm talking to someone next to me and explaining things as I go :)
I might be wrong but I think it's Backspace now, not F5. I haven't played in a few months do take that with a grain of salt. Maybe there's a thread on Steam that can help you out!
I keep going through this cycle of Installing space engineers Having tons of fun Getting kind of bored cos I have no friends that have the game Uninstall Repeat after a month
Split: “if you grind these items and weld them back together you unlock blocks” Me: *gets greedy with unlocking blocks and tries to grind and weld back thrusters* Game: *unknown technology. You have to research it first.* Me: ☹️
Kudos to Splitsie for taking his time to reply to comments even after 3 years. Started playing the game again after a few years and here I am back at your tutorials to refresh my memory.
Hahaha glad I had to come to UA-cam to figure out the basics in this game instead of having the tutorials in game. Even no man's sky had a tutorial when it first released.
hi, if you could add anything to space engineers, what would it be. mine would be new materials to make different light armour blocks, like iron for light and heavy iron blocks, aluminum for light and heavy aluminum, steel for light and heavy steel blocks made by mixing iron, cobalt and uranium, titanium for light and heavy titanium blocks, made my mixing steel, uranium and iron, and all other materials of the world like copper, coal, all of that stuff, to make space engineers more interesting
I'd probably be boring and say something like small ship glass, especially since I seem to be building more and more of my bases with areas made out of small grid :P
It's also a nice spot for solar since you can get much longer times when the sun is up, but I wanted to show the method of getting a new spawn, so here I am, in the savanna :P
Playing SE closed beta (cant wait for full release in April) for the first time and on xbox one. Been waiting years for this day. This tutorial and Splitsies clear instructions are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
You're very welcome, from what I've tested so far the only difference you'll come across (other than interface) is when I get to the rotor and piston tutorials as I talk about 'experimental' mode which isn't available on xbox. Other than that you should be perfect to follow along with these :)
I would just like to say thank you, I've been trying to get into SE for a few years now but I never could figure out how to get started, after watching these I'm now over 1000 hrs in and loving it. I now send this series out to my friends when they want to give this game a try and we have all fallen in love with this game and your channel. Also please thank Capac for the hours of entertainment he's given us, he also gained fans because of you.
The only way I knew how to play this game is because of you, you are the one who taught me how to play, you are also the one that makes interesting content, every now and then I come back to this channel and watch your space engineers vids for entertainment, thanks a lot, love to you.
This is as great as consulting can get. This video was made 4 years ago, most comments are only as early as two years, and you responded to my comment right close or on the day I made it I didn't expect that because I know life happens and people got other things to do sometimes. Really appreciate that you made these video's, and continue to follow up on peoples questions. This platform is probably the best way for you to carry out your consulting with us newbies. Thanks again so much Splitsie for your dedication to Space Engineers and the pioneering spirit of the human heart. One day for real, humanity will reach the stars again, till then we have to get back to the source of life and master it here on earth and with ourselves. In humanities current state it needs to be reborn with birthing pains before we will get to that point. Nature is good that way. When a plant is not ready to seed without failing to produce enough nutrients for successful seeds, it waits. Like biennials and fruit and nut trees take years to produce. It also makes sense that when a plant or tree is at its most fertile, things get overly complex and by the time the spread across the stars the society starts to implode upon itself much like Krypton in Man of Steel. I believe that story is actually based on folklore of the history of Solaris. Planet Vulcan represented wisdom, and was abused to the point of imploding/exploding decimating mars with parts striking other planets some completely destroyed becoming the asteroid belt and Jupiter Saturn and Neptune use to be activated stars now they are in a low mode still bright but mostly halogen gases not ignited like in our main star Solaris. Our solar system is rich with history of destruction of civilization much like the surface of earth, with half our ancient cities where ancient sea beds used to be and half our forests and cities on ancient sea beds. I think if life thrives on earth more the rest will follow. We will live better, the new "high rise" will be in tree houses and tree villages and tree cities. When we develop more technologies we will choose to live underwater, underground and high in mountains more often to avoid destroying the rest of life. Biosphere Two is a great example of what is possible to terraform mars. Its was only a test, the fist of its kind I hate how much people criticize it. Prefabricated parts won't need so much concrete to cure and oxidize their oxygen supply on site, as well they should have higher proportion of forest environments to farm area's structured area's and number of people and animals. And they could always just bring more oxygen next time in anticipation of the amount oxidized by the curing concrete. Just like you show us about adjusting oxygen and hydrogen containers thrusters ect for weight and ability to travel without getting stuck. Its all about the pioneering spirit. I can't garden much this year from smog because of health problems, this game is a life saver. I have house plants to terraform my environment I don't want to use a breathing machine that has to be cleaned all the time. Watering and pruning is less work :) I save up old juice bottles to have water near by for watering plants in rooms so I don't have to run back and forth from kitchen all the time. Same principles are used in this game. Its exciting :)
This game also makes you feel like your one of the people in "Lost In Space" minus the resources of a Jupiter Two but still, it feels like we are pioneering a new frontier. :)
I'm having trouble accessing my Hydrogen from the drop pod. I try to go to inventory and it doesn't show up. Its telling me to "press MMB" to take parts from it and I don't know what that means. What is MMB? Gonna watch this video till I figure it out.
I bought this game July 25, 2014 and had 2 hours playtime on Steam. After this video, I'm up to 11 hours after a few days and it's become my go-to game. You made an old, deleted game (officially released early 2019) relevant to me after this one video. I can't wait to sink dozens of more hours into this. Thank you!
Just started playing Space Engineers and your tutorial videos are awesome. Glad someone took the time to guide new players in a slow, clear and understandable manner. It is a little overwhelming but watching your videos over and over and learning something new every time has most certainly helped.
I would like to thank you for these videos. You are the reason I got into this game (been on the fence for years) and your tutorials have been immensely helpful.
This tutorial was so helpful. I'm on the Xbox beta right now and it's tutorials don't help and great amount in my opinion, so I was having a bit of frustration. But when I found your tutorial all that changed. thank you.
Thank you so much for this series! Trying to get in to this game but all the scenarios seem to start with a presumed level of knowledge/experience or are scripted in a way that teach a specific skill when I want to know how to start from the ground floor and build my way into space. This was the perfect solution. Thanks again!
Hey, I know this video is old, but I hace just got the game and found the in game tutorials somewhat vague. This video, however, made much more sense! So thanks :)
You're very welcome, the stuff in this is thankfully still accurate which is why I still haven't replaced it so you should be good to follow pretty much everything in this series (there are one or two small bits that might be a problem for xbox players, but they're fortunately minor) :)
@@Splitsie if you ever have time, I'd like to see some of your small build ideas/plans for starting bases. Kinda like what you did with the starter base, but more of a follow up of the tutorial series where you do a more pemenant base. Maybe have different premade ones next to each other like you did with the garage doors. For someone like me who has no creativity and would just be living in a cube, that sort of video would be great for inspiration! :p
Just picked this game up for the bank holiday weekend and I've done nothing else for 3 days except play it and watch these Splitsie tutorial vids! The vids are a godsend and you've done a cracking job of packing info into them. I've jumped straight into survival and you've saved me a ton of time in trial and error. Nice one, keep it up! :)
Splitsie, you're to Space Engineers what Scott Manley is to Kerbal Space Program, and I mean that as a gesture of respect with no higher compliment. You're concise, logical, and explain all the mechanics in a very well structured and understandable manner. I've been watching you for the last two weeks, and now I'm buying Space Engineers specifically because of this video. Looking forward to digging through the rest of your series, and starting up my first base.
I feel blessed, not a 1 hour long tutorial that explain how get started quickly so i can enjoy myself instead of watching all the star wars movies b4 playing. Nice job!
I haven't played SE for a while. This tutorial series has been awesome for showing the new things that have been added to the game since I last played as well as it is great for a refresher to what keys i need to press to do different tasks. Thanks Splitsie, you have a nack for doing excellent tutorials.
For those finding this more recently, I've made an updated version with some extra information and hopefully some improvements which you can find here ua-cam.com/video/zUE3q1ph8qg/v-deo.html
I found cobalt :)
As time flies it is incredible what an adventure it was.

OK, but how do you spell G?
Lionel D I think it’s G or jee
@@DigitalShaolin no , I looked it up and its spelled Jhee
With a game with this steep of a learning curve, you explain everything extremely well and concisely. Can't wait to watch the rest of the playlist.
So many tutorial options in-game, online, or a hybrid; yet Splitsie is the only good source I've found

This is easily the most user friendly and informative tutorial out there currently that I've seen. Looking forward to the next episode.
Thanks, trying to make sure I remember all the lessons I learned from making the series the first time around :)
I am just now getting into SE and this has helped me out way more than the tutorials from Keen

It's baffling how we'd get to space flight and still rely on renewables.
@@christianbateman2 no its not
Tell that to my hydrogen thrusters...
Um hydrogen is kinda renewable
Only thing not renewable is uranium

Got about 8 hours into the game, just playing through some of the prefab scenario stuff. Decided I was going to go into creative and build a ship. Failed miserably, twice.
Really appreciate these tutorials. Gives me a better grasp of where I should be starting and how to do it. Looking forward to more hours in this surprisingly detailed game.
X2
I didn’t knew the survival kit was your main crafting before the assembler and grinded it
Did you end up playing and enjoying this game? I'm 10 hours in and I'm not having fun. I feel like I have to watch UA-cam videos and mimic what they do or I'm just lost. I can handle an hour of that, but 10 hours of gameplay and I'm still lost?
"The most commonly used is Star System" - which is at the bottom of the list, on the third tab of the "new game" ui. I don't get SE's UI/UX design. I think the new menu in Medieval Engineers is light- years ahead.
ME certainly have taken a lot of pointers from the areas that could be improved in SE, their early game experience is quite well streamlined too :)
I actually really like the UI, it looks futuristic, and it is way better than the old one, and that is all that matters to me
keen if you are listening, PLEASE DO A UI OVERHAUL, (all caps just for grabbing attention)
Yes UI/menus majorly needs some adjustment
Great job on explaining everything I've told anyone and everyone that you are the man to watch when it comes to explaining space engineers and they've come back and telling me that you're awesome so keep up the great work.

Great work Splitsie !

Glad I could help, SE does have a nasty learning curve but it's got immense creative potential that makes it worth it if you like building :)
Still can't get over how mesmering the into song comes in, I can listen to it for hours and constantly be motivated to go to space, and after every setback, going to this video with this into song gets me back up
This is an amazing tutorial series, my friend and I recently got into the game and were bewildered by the vast ui and menus and possibilities etc etc, this has helped so much. Thank You!!
You're very welcome, glad it's helped you out :)
The best toturial of SE play so far, you know your stuffs 🤘
Thank you :)
Splitsie-"ok, open your textbook to chapter 7, Power Systems and Propulsion."
I did find it a bit hard to follow, but i also have 0 experience with this game, so maybe later on i will come back to this for more tips
Totaly agree. I had 498h of play time on very ealry stage of beta. I quit for years, I'm now back and quite lost (damn they add planets !!! XD). Thx a lot for your videos. They are very well made and you clearly know what your talking about.
I just recently got started playing SE and these videos are very informative and helpful to a newbie player like me. Thank you for the excellent work on making these videos. Well done.
Thanks and you're very welcome, glad I could help you get started :)
Thank fucking god. finally someone who does a tutorial vid that either doesn't go too fast or goes so slowly i want to pluck my own eyes out
Hope it's helped you get up the steep learning curve :)
this was SUPER helpful for getting started in space engineers! thanks for the video.
You're very welcome :)
Thanks to your tutorials, I've finally started actually getting into SE, but previously I kept stopping after a few hours due to being overwhelmed at all the systems, ect (and also having a crappy PC until 2yrs ago) despite buying the game around 2015-ish.
I really, *really* enjoy games where you can just build and mess around with creations (like Besiege, for example or even Minecraft) and sometimes forget there is always a learning curve that I just have to force myself to eventually overcome lol.
On another note I wish I watched these 1.5 weeks ago, not now when I only have a few days of annual leave left :/
Thanks for getting me started on Space Engineers all that time ago! You’re the reason I started making videos and capital ships.
I really, really wish this video existed before I started playing this game a little over a week ago. It would have saved me some of the frustrations of building in Space Engineers. Though I did get a few pieces of information that I didn't know about.
One piece of advice I'd give people, that you didn't, is that if a block isn't placed in the ground it's automatically considered a vehicle and vehicles cannot use wind turbines. In order to convert a vehicle into a station, you need to go into your station's terminal window, selecting the Info tab, and (at the bottom right) clicking on Convert to station.
I'll try to cover that when I do some more building just to make sure it's extra clear :)
@@Splitsie
Yeah, I didn't realize that my base wasn't an actual immobile base. The plus side is that I later converted it to a vehicle and drove it to an area next to a lake. Before moving it I initially put on some pistons so that I could get wheels on it, but it wouldn't convert back into a vehicle because the pistons I placed were too close to the ground so it acted as if the pistons were in the ground. Either that or the game doesn't like to change pistons from an immobile station to pistons in a mobile vehicle.
Thanks for this. I'm new to SE and I can't believe there are no tutorials except the F1 menu that refers to vaguely un-related videos about building ships instead of getting started. It's a bit ridiculous that I had to come find this video.
i just wana say, thank you, you made me be able to play se and love it, i have been playing now for a while and its the best, again i just wana say thank you
4 years later and he’s still replying to comments legend
Hey Splitsie, I know this is over a year old but thank you so much. I played with SE back when it first came out then a few times between but I'm now restarting in SP and this was a ton of help.
The little things like getting the wind turbine higher (common sense) was a plus. It's nice to see the devs have their thinking caps on and not their arcade ones.
It's weird to think this is a year old - thankfully still accurate (apart from the 500 stone to refine thing) :)
Keen have mostly done a good job with that stuff and the bits that have been sacrificed tend to have a gameplay benefit in doing so (just ignore the thermodynamics breaking hydrogen engine and you'll be ok) :P
I want to add i watched this 5 years later. Lol just bought the game because I love stuff like this and just found the gane by accident. I had no idea what I was doing but found your channel after searching how to play. You took me from knowing nothing to knowing a lot! Thanks man
This video is well done! I was seriously having difficulties starting out because the crafting system isn't as intuitive to me as in other games and this really helped me out. Nice job!
Thank you, I was so lost on trying to figure out this game your tut explains it pretty good
Thank you for teaching me how to play this game. These videos are essential for new players
Glad I could help :)
i converted my landing pod into a just flyable ship followed by an ore detector so i could find raw materials instead of using stone
I'm going to be covering a 'safe' way to do that in the next video - I've done it with only the blocks on the starter pod (without refining any stone) but it's not a ship that is kind to new players so not well suited to a tutorial :P
@@Splitsie methods that are effective with little resources and just werk are well suited to noobs, thats how we as humans learn, ancestor learns a trick, teaches children
Well finally I can start to get into this game 3 years after I acquired it, all thanks to your help.
Playing this since early alpha (before working guns) And I still have to come here.
It is unfortunate, but at least for me it's ok since I enjoy teaching :)
(gotta try to find the positives somewhere) :P
So how did you attack other ships?
@@501ststormtrooper9 Ramming mostly.
Same Been here since blue ship and red ship ramming each other was pretty much the entire game haha
Just now getting into this game in 2023. And this tutorial is very well informed and works great to this day.
Thanks :)
14:14 There is a part where you can add the information to blueprint for when are building so when you goto the survival kit or assembler you can select blueprint and it will add everything you need to build for that specific item to the que . That way you don’t have to remember 😊 I literally just figured that out and I was watching your vids to learn how to play .
Just started playing SE. You tutorials have been so helpful! Thank you!
You're very welcome, glad I could help you enjoy the game I enjoy so much :)
I think I'm going to like this series!
Thanks, hopefully it'll be helpful and fun :)
Even though I have almost 2kh in SE it's still a good vid to put in the background when building your own stuff :P
Awww, thanks - feel free to share some of your own tips, I keep learning new things from the other old dogs like me :)
I was ready to give up on this game. The tutorials they provide are a joke. I watched this and everything made perfect sense. Thank you, Splitsie! You saved SE!
Thanks TheSeji, I'm really glad they helped you find some of the fun :)
This is absolutely insane! I need a tutorial for the tutorial, yet here I am playing games like Age of Empires 2 Fast Castle in 13 minutes.
If my friends pick up the game, I'll be here for it!
Patiently waiting for #2.... my popcorn is getting stale :P Enjoyed this first one!
I'm going to post it later today, just have a couple of little adjustments to make :)
I usually suck at space engineers but I did everything you said and I am doing surprisingly good on the world now. in my opinion you are the best for explaining the (in my opinion) very complicated game so thank you 😊
Edit; grammar and spelling mistakes
Awesome, glad it's helped you get going :)
Amazing vid! Great explanations and breakdowns of everything 10/10
Thanks so much :)
calm voice + not urgent + step by step= 10/10 tutorial, Thank you.
You're very welcome 🙂
I haven't played this game in over two years and forgot a lot about the things you need to do in the early stages. This playlist is just as helpful as it was back then. Thank you for your dedication and patience to teach us the ins and outs of Space Engineers.
Glad they've been handy twice 🙂
Hell yes! Was hoping for a new series.
This one's going to be 100% vanilla and very tutorial heavy but I'm still going to try to get some style into the designs and get them on the workshop as we go along :)
this was the video about this game that youtube was needing about it... btw I've started playing due to your space engineers series, either alone or with capac, keep up the awesome work!
Thanks so much, glad I've been able to drag you into a game that I've loved for a long time :)
Damnit!!! Yet another game I have to buy now! You Tube is the DEVIL!
I have never even heard of this game, then UA-cam says "here, watch this"!
I've had a lot of fun with it over the years and continue to do so, if you like/liked Lego, then there's a decent chance you'll enjoy this since the creativity of both is quite similar :)
Best gaming tutorial I've seen in a while, thank you !
I bought space engineers 2 days ago and was completely lost. This video answered a shit ton of questions i had in the first 10 minutes, thank you 🤟🤟💯
So you spent hours with W4sted looking for gold and it ends being one of the first ores you find in this survival. Typical!
lol so true :P
They *W4sted* time
*69 likes* nice
Coyote Corporation yup
I found gold, ice and everything else except cobalt
When will the next video come out... Because this was a great video tutorial. Thank you for doing this.
Thanks! I'm hoping to get the next one out this week :)
@@Splitsie Me, a year later, knowing I have access to the full tutorial already - all ready to bingewatch: Nice.
I’m getting SE in about a week, and I admire that you get straight to the point, without goofing around.
Thanks :)
Glad I found this tutorial series. Got stuck on Learning to Survive and got frustrated when I had no idea how to connect an assembler to the refinery.
It's quite easy to get stuck in that scenario, I seem to manage it most of the times I try to do it even though I've played for thousands of hours :P
Simply excellent, & very helpful to this SE noob. Still, not the same without you and Capac picking at each other. ;)
Hehe, while it would have been fun, I thought it might make things a little confusing with a crazy orange suited guy messing about :P
He'll be used in the tests wherever possible though ;)
Every 45 seconds I'm like "damn I didn't know I could do that!"
We all have much to learn in this game - I still keep getting taught stuff in the comments and I've got more than 2000 hours under my belt :)
@@Splitsie Was building the wind turbine following your ques...it fell over on the lander before i could even start to weld...smh...how do you delete parts already made and start over?
@@Mudtiresrc I'd instinctively grind it down, should give you back your materials...
Very well done tutorial. I wish gaming companies would hire you to do all their tutorials.
I wish they would too, I think I'd like that job :)
As someone who was on the fence about buying Space Engineers, even with a friends recommendation, this vid helped me decide to buy it, so, thank you!
Thanks! Hopefully you get as much fun from it as I've had :)
Just got this game. Did the first scenario. Tried out the second, was getting confused about a few things. Came here, lots of questions answered. Definitely going to be watching more of this series, tyvm!
Now saying one knows nothing about said game, you keep saying "This block may take damage", now where does this damage come from? Asteroids? Indigenous wildlife? Restless natives? Awesome Videos, extremely helpful, keep up the good work good sir.
I've only bought the game yesterday after watching someone streaming it.
With the settings he has used it won't get damaged except you crash into it.
nothing. Everytime I see content about this game a lot of the things are talked about hypothetically... you wont get attacked, nothings gonna come damage your base. Building massive weapon systems that can only be talked about using hypothetically cause theres nothing to fight. making a giant complex ship that is used for.. traveling an empty sandbox. I dont hate this game, I wanted to love it long ago, but Empyrion Galactic Survival got into my life and everything you build has an actual use. making a base with functioning defenses because you DO get attacked, and making powerful ships because there are large bases, AI Patroling Capital vessels, and space stations to attack. I could go on and on how the Survival aspect in that game is so much better, while also being a bit more simplified, but still very difficult at times. A hostile base with a few turrets on top turns into a sprawling underground compound that can take up to an hour to clear depending on your gear, and getting a great reward in loot and resources for doing so, Its like going into an alien dungeon where some creatures in there can give you parasites, burns, infected wounds, etc that you must beable to treat or risk dying. its SO in depth and I dont care that it doesnt have the physics this game does.
@@BraveCat9927 yeah, you have to install mods to get some pve. With mods it becomes more enjoyable in Singleplayer. But in vanilla there are only small drones, wolves, spiders, depending on your location
noob/me: Places wind turbine on ground level.
noob/me: Sees that it isn't enough power so builds 5 more turbines.
Splitsie: "For the cost of 15 steel plate you only need 1 wind turbine.
Noob/me: um
But it's quite hard. I've been trying for 2h to place the wind turbines just like he did and it won't align with the block under it. I've tried all 3 types of placement modes and it just won't snap into place. I can drop it on a block but it eventually falls, lol.
@@leandroatreides Wind turbines are considerably wider than their 1x1 base. If you're standing/flying inside that space they won't place down. Back up a little and it should go better.
That's why I'm here, and I'm definitely using the graphics trick next time I'm in the game.
Could be the your in mountain or somewhere with low winds. Why I had have like 5 wind turbines probably need more
Would it be possible for you to explain what features are disabled in the ‘default’ game compared to the ‘experimental’? All the info I’ve found online seems to be out of date. Thanks for all the great vids, keep up the good work!
That is absolutely something I should do, I might even try to put something together separate to this little series unless I can think of a nice way to integrate it :)
Perfect, thanks!
It's been over 2 years since I played this game but I remember your vids from the first time around. After playing over 100 hours I really need this tutorial to refresh my memory. Looking forward to keeping up.
I am a Empyrion neophyte. I enjoy that environment. However, Space Engineers has caught my eye.
I have seen many tutorials. I offer the greatest praise for this offering. It is highly intelligent, well organized and extremely informative. It is my first Space Engineers tutorial. I look forward to watching the rest of you work.
I know the amount of work required to put something like this together. There is much preparation required. Thank you!
No one:
Me: has to watch every survival and tutorial on yt to actully play SE even with 400 hours.
Ps this is the best tutorial thx.
You're welcome, hope it helped :)
Thanks, when I first got the game I was confused and could never figure anything out so I just decided to forget about the game for a few months and now I am ready to play.
Edit
Actually I think it has been 2 and a half years that I haven’t played sense I got the game.
It's a bit rough at the start, hopefully these'll get you over that rough start this time around :)
Definitely give it a go. SE is awesome game, although at the beginning it might seem a little daunting. Once you watch these tutorials, it should get a lot easier!
My favorite thing is to design cool ships and structures in Creative mode and blueprint those. Then, jump into a Survival game and later use those blueprints to build cool stuff, instead of wasting time and resources on trial & error method for everything. :)
Ah, so this is what my friend keeps telling me about...well time to get it and build a massive mining colony
Hope you enjoy it :)
massive mining colony?? *USSR THEME PLAYING*
As a new player to space engineers thank you for this tutorial. I was very confused but seeing everything explained to me bit by bit in simple terms helped me understand exactly how everything works
I'm very pleased it helped :)
As someone getting back into Space Engineers, I just wanted to say thanks for this series. I'm on #4 now, and I already know about 90% more than I ever did when playing before. Keep up the good work.
You're very welcome, I'm pleased they were able to help you get back into the game :)
Finally tutorail that i needed
Hope it gets you off to a good start :)
Me: *Wants to build a Gothic-Class cruiser*
Also me: Where does the go?
Okay so I think I'm falling in love with SE..
Now the dillema... Do I keep watching and learning more, or do I bite the bullet, buy the game, and lose another few months like I have already done for so many other games? >.>
Or do you do both? ;)
Splitsie With the launch on Xbox, I am doing both
My favorite tutorial series on UA-cam, hands down.
tbh (to be honest) I actually haven't looked at other tutorials than this one, I just clicked the first one (splitsie tutorial), this is also the first vid that I watched on this channel.
I only recently got Space Engineers and the DLC through this last Holiday sale, and i have about 2 hours in the game, from doing the two tutorial missions.
I came into this video looking for a quick answer about how to set up a survival world, since I clicked the "earth like planet" mission and immediately backed out. You answered the question I had going into this, and something hooked me to stay and see what else you had to say. I didn't even realize that almost 30 minutes had passed until I had finished the video. I learned a lot of new things which I didn't even touch on in the tutorial missions, such as GPS and Conveyor Pipe Specifics.
Personally, i would like to thank you for making this video so in depth but not confusing to me coming in as a fresh new baby engineer, because the tutorial videos that come with the game felt text bookish, but this video made me feel like if my friend was shooting the shit with me while explaining something.
Thanks so much for the kind words, very happy my intent with the style carried through in how it was received. When I'm recording these I tend to imagine that I'm talking to someone next to me and explaining things as I go :)
I'm having a very hard time finding any ore deposits, and you cant use F5 to reset your location
I might be wrong but I think it's Backspace now, not F5. I haven't played in a few months do take that with a grain of salt. Maybe there's a thread on Steam that can help you out!
I keep going through this cycle of
Installing space engineers
Having tons of fun
Getting kind of bored cos I have no friends that have the game
Uninstall
Repeat after a month
That's not too far from my first few years with it :P
I kind of do this with Kerbal Space Program minus uninstalling ,and the fact multiplayer is not even a option (kind of)
Split: “if you grind these items and weld them back together you unlock blocks”
Me: *gets greedy with unlocking blocks and tries to grind and weld back thrusters*
Game: *unknown technology. You have to research it first.*
Me: ☹️
Kudos to Splitsie for taking his time to reply to comments even after 3 years. Started playing the game again after a few years and here I am back at your tutorials to refresh my memory.
Thanks, hopefully you'll get back in the swing of it quickly and have some more fun :)
Hahaha glad I had to come to UA-cam to figure out the basics in this game instead of having the tutorials in game. Even no man's sky had a tutorial when it first released.
hi, if you could add anything to space engineers, what would it be.
mine would be new materials to make different light armour blocks, like iron for light and heavy iron blocks, aluminum for light and heavy aluminum, steel for light and heavy steel blocks made by mixing iron, cobalt and uranium, titanium for light and heavy titanium blocks, made my mixing steel, uranium and iron, and all other materials of the world like copper, coal, all of that stuff, to make space engineers more interesting
for me it's the ai. like human that can built things. harass you, trade, make allies, fight wars. and marry a noble person. and so on.
I'd probably be boring and say something like small ship glass, especially since I seem to be building more and more of my bases with areas made out of small grid :P
@@Splitsie small grig glass is a good idea
what would you think about new materials
@@Splitsie i was one of your first subs
@@Splitsie can you pin my comment so other people can answer this question of what they would add to space engineers
I actually like starting in the tundra biome... TONS of ice for oxygen (if on an alien planet) and hydrogen for fuel
It's also a nice spot for solar since you can get much longer times when the sun is up, but I wanted to show the method of getting a new spawn, so here I am, in the savanna :P
"Let's build five Interior plate, and let's build five steel plate"
Playing SE closed beta (cant wait for full release in April) for the first time and on xbox one. Been waiting years for this day. This tutorial and Splitsies clear instructions are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
You're very welcome, from what I've tested so far the only difference you'll come across (other than interface) is when I get to the rotor and piston tutorials as I talk about 'experimental' mode which isn't available on xbox. Other than that you should be perfect to follow along with these :)
I would just like to say thank you, I've been trying to get into SE for a few years now but I never could figure out how to get started, after watching these I'm now over 1000 hrs in and loving it. I now send this series out to my friends when they want to give this game a try and we have all fallen in love with this game and your channel. Also please thank Capac for the hours of entertainment he's given us, he also gained fans because of you.
Thanks! Glad I could help get you into the game :)
The only way I knew how to play this game is because of you, you are the one who taught me how to play, you are also the one that makes interesting content, every now and then I come back to this channel and watch your space engineers vids for entertainment, thanks a lot, love to you.
Splitsie is (you) in this case
Thanks so much, I'm glad the tutorials have been so helpful and hopefully the other stuff entertaining :)
@@Splitsie question, how did you learn how to play this game?
It was mostly just mucking around and a little bit of watching let's plays 🙂
@@Splitsie❤
This is as great as consulting can get. This video was made 4 years ago, most comments are only as early as two years, and you responded to my comment right close or on the day I made it I didn't expect that because I know life happens and people got other things to do sometimes. Really appreciate that you made these video's, and continue to follow up on peoples questions. This platform is probably the best way for you to carry out your consulting with us newbies. Thanks again so much Splitsie for your dedication to Space Engineers and the pioneering spirit of the human heart. One day for real, humanity will reach the stars again, till then we have to get back to the source of life and master it here on earth and with ourselves. In humanities current state it needs to be reborn with birthing pains before we will get to that point. Nature is good that way. When a plant is not ready to seed without failing to produce enough nutrients for successful seeds, it waits. Like biennials and fruit and nut trees take years to produce. It also makes sense that when a plant or tree is at its most fertile, things get overly complex and by the time the spread across the stars the society starts to implode upon itself much like Krypton in Man of Steel. I believe that story is actually based on folklore of the history of Solaris. Planet Vulcan represented wisdom, and was abused to the point of imploding/exploding decimating mars with parts striking other planets some completely destroyed becoming the asteroid belt and Jupiter Saturn and Neptune use to be activated stars now they are in a low mode still bright but mostly halogen gases not ignited like in our main star Solaris. Our solar system is rich with history of destruction of civilization much like the surface of earth, with half our ancient cities where ancient sea beds used to be and half our forests and cities on ancient sea beds. I think if life thrives on earth more the rest will follow. We will live better, the new "high rise" will be in tree houses and tree villages and tree cities. When we develop more technologies we will choose to live underwater, underground and high in mountains more often to avoid destroying the rest of life. Biosphere Two is a great example of what is possible to terraform mars. Its was only a test, the fist of its kind I hate how much people criticize it. Prefabricated parts won't need so much concrete to cure and oxidize their oxygen supply on site, as well they should have higher proportion of forest environments to farm area's structured area's and number of people and animals. And they could always just bring more oxygen next time in anticipation of the amount oxidized by the curing concrete. Just like you show us about adjusting oxygen and hydrogen containers thrusters ect for weight and ability to travel without getting stuck. Its all about the pioneering spirit. I can't garden much this year from smog because of health problems, this game is a life saver. I have house plants to terraform my environment I don't want to use a breathing machine that has to be cleaned all the time. Watering and pruning is less work :) I save up old juice bottles to have water near by for watering plants in rooms so I don't have to run back and forth from kitchen all the time. Same principles are used in this game. Its exciting :)
This game also makes you feel like your one of the people in "Lost In Space" minus the resources of a Jupiter Two but still, it feels like we are pioneering a new frontier. :)
I'm having trouble accessing my Hydrogen from the drop pod. I try to go to inventory and it doesn't show up. Its telling me to "press MMB" to take parts from it and I don't know what that means. What is MMB? Gonna watch this video till I figure it out.
I bought this game July 25, 2014 and had 2 hours playtime on Steam. After this video, I'm up to 11 hours after a few days and it's become my go-to game. You made an old, deleted game (officially released early 2019) relevant to me after this one video. I can't wait to sink dozens of more hours into this. Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words, glad to know it helped you get something out of an otherwise empty entry in your steam library :)
I'm just starting this game and you are helping me tremendously. Thank you so much.
Just started playing Space Engineers and your tutorial videos are awesome. Glad someone took the time to guide new players in a slow, clear and understandable manner. It is a little overwhelming but watching your videos over and over and learning something new every time has most certainly helped.
I would like to thank you for these videos. You are the reason I got into this game (been on the fence for years) and your tutorials have been immensely helpful.
Thank you, I should be getting some additional ones out again soon :)
This tutorial was so helpful. I'm on the Xbox beta right now and it's tutorials don't help and great amount in my opinion, so I was having a bit of frustration. But when I found your tutorial all that changed. thank you.
You're very welcome - it's not just the xbox version, similar troubles exist on PC which is probably why this tutorial's been watched so many times :)
This series is great! I've failed to break in to Space Engineers several times I finally get it thanks to this!
I have basically had this tutorial series by you on pause, watch pause watch, rewind x999 for the entire 25 hours I have so far. Thank you.
You're very welcome :)
Thank you so much for this series! Trying to get in to this game but all the scenarios seem to start with a presumed level of knowledge/experience or are scripted in a way that teach a specific skill when I want to know how to start from the ground floor and build my way into space. This was the perfect solution. Thanks again!
You're very welcome, glad it got you started :)
Hey, I know this video is old, but I hace just got the game and found the in game tutorials somewhat vague. This video, however, made much more sense! So thanks :)
You're very welcome, the stuff in this is thankfully still accurate which is why I still haven't replaced it so you should be good to follow pretty much everything in this series (there are one or two small bits that might be a problem for xbox players, but they're fortunately minor) :)
@@Splitsie if you ever have time, I'd like to see some of your small build ideas/plans for starting bases. Kinda like what you did with the starter base, but more of a follow up of the tutorial series where you do a more pemenant base. Maybe have different premade ones next to each other like you did with the garage doors. For someone like me who has no creativity and would just be living in a cube, that sort of video would be great for inspiration! :p
Just picked this game up for the bank holiday weekend and I've done nothing else for 3 days except play it and watch these Splitsie tutorial vids! The vids are a godsend and you've done a cracking job of packing info into them. I've jumped straight into survival and you've saved me a ton of time in trial and error. Nice one, keep it up! :)
Thanks so much, always nice to hear they've helped people get over the rough initial learning curve :)
Splitsie, you're to Space Engineers what Scott Manley is to Kerbal Space Program, and I mean that as a gesture of respect with no higher compliment.
You're concise, logical, and explain all the mechanics in a very well structured and understandable manner.
I've been watching you for the last two weeks, and now I'm buying Space Engineers specifically because of this video.
Looking forward to digging through the rest of your series, and starting up my first base.
Thanks so much, glad you've been finding the videos helpful 🙂
I feel blessed, not a 1 hour long tutorial that explain how get started quickly so i can enjoy myself instead of watching all the star wars movies b4 playing. Nice job!
Thanks, I try to keep things brief, tough for the first video though because there's a lot that needs to be explained initially :)
I haven't played SE for a while. This tutorial series has been awesome for showing the new things that have been added to the game since I last played as well as it is great for a refresher to what keys i need to press to do different tasks. Thanks Splitsie, you have a nack for doing excellent tutorials.
Thanks, very happy to know they've been a good refresher :)
