Space Engineers: Getting Started in Survival (Tutorial Series #1)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 вер 2024
- This is the start of a tutorial series to guide new and old players alike through Space Engineers survival from the very beginning and through to the point where ridiculous builds seem plausible.
If you haven't yet bought Space Engineers and decide you want to here's an affiliate link to use :)
It's also good for Space Engineers merch link.xsolla.co...
This video covers everything I do during my first day in survival. From how to get your first assembler and refinery built, how to power them to what useful items are available on your drop pod.
If you have any tutorial topics you'd like me to cover in the coming videos please let me know in the comments. If you've got burning questions about how to do something, ask here and I'll do my best to answer.

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.
Just watching your scrapyard serries and the fun is the same as it was those years ago.
Thanks mate :)
And
I hope it will be at a slower pace. To understand this video I have to already know how to play.
@@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
I admire the fact Splitse is doing what Keen has failed to do in the last 6 years- offering a proper Tutorial for Survival mode.
I might have offered my assistance, but can understand their hesitance given the distances involved. I wouldn't mind one day working as a consultant for game devs helping them with their in game tutorials :)
(as long as it didn't stop me doing this) ;)
@@Splitsie you should teach game journalists how to play games
Nnbbjisbtauo
The fun of the game is figuring it out. I like being confused tbh. Then again I have 1000+ hours in gaming.
I never knew that survival kit processes rock I’ve been searching for minerals all over.
"We go to our G menu, which is done by pressing... G" *furiously writes down*
lol :D
You'd be surprised how many people asked me how to get to it when I didn't say it that way in a previous tutorial :P
I immediatly jumped right into survival was figuring out how to fly my respown pod but then a griefer shot me in the face
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
>be me
>have 250 hrs on SE
>watches Splitsie
>feels like its 2.50
Don't worry, it won't be long until you're reminding me of the things I keep missing ;)
I got over 2500 hours and I feel the same! Haha. I learn alot of survival stuff from Splitsie. Been stuck in creative far too long.
@@ravenbolt7677 You and me both lmao
@@ravenbolt7677 i only play on survival :D
I have 14hrs...
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.
14:11 "Struggle to remember more than 3 things at a time" - signed 😂😂😂
Great video, as always!
Thanks Isy and thanks for updating your inventory script so quickly - already got the latest of it and the solar script running on my base :)
@@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 😉
sind eigentlich alle bedeutenden SE-modder deutsch? xD
@@Player-lk1pm Mmaster nicht 😉 Aber danke!
@@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?
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
I think this is the only game I’ve played where renewable energy is the default
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
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.
Thanks Razial :)
Me: doing everything exactly as he does.
Also Me: Messes up horribly
The start can indeed be rough, but the amount of fun you can have with this game is truly worth it :)
@Ayden Zimmer Same here :D Found everything except cobalt
@Ayden Zimmer haha, not yet quite there, but on my way :)
@Ayden Zimmer ... Ah! Technique #1 in The Capac School of Ore Discovery (Spoiler Alert: all techniques end in death)
@Ayden Zimmer Awesome! Now...when you find it, you just need to jet pack into it at full velocity and your training is complete.
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.
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?
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.
"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
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 🤟🤟💯
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
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.
Thanks! :)
Hopefully this new series will help a bunch of the new players joining us since the release :)
@@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 !
I t. S.
@@Splitsie It really did
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.
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.
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❤
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 :)
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 :)
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 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 :)
I’m getting SE in about a week, and I admire that you get straight to the point, without goofing around.
Thanks :)
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 :)
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 :/
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
Thanks for getting me started on Space Engineers all that time ago! You’re the reason I started making videos and capital ships.
Keen should pay you for doing such a great job on tutorials. Better than their own vids, for sure. Information dense, professional, to the point.
Thanks, hopefully one day I'll get to work closer with the devs of a game on their tutorials as I do like the teaching side of things :)
@@Splitsie somehow I don't see you doing that with Medieval Engineers any time soon.. So what other games did you have in mind? lol
SE is hot stuff again atm.. I hope you take advantage. Also, perfect timing for the end of your "Survival Maybe..." series. This was a tutorial, but other youtubers are starting new series already... and gaining many subs.. don't miss out!
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 :)
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.
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 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 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 :)
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 :)
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 :)
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 🙂
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.
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 :)
4 years later and he’s still replying to comments legend
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
I didn't think starting a new survival game could be such a PITA. I just wanted a blank slate and it took until I found this video to figure out which option that was. Thanks a lot!
You're welcome, I've suggested a few times that the solar system start should be more prominent if not the first thing people see. Hopefully one day they'll listen :P
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 🙂
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 :)
Amazing vid! Great explanations and breakdowns of everything 10/10
Thanks so much :)
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
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.
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 :)
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 :)
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...
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 :)
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 :)
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!
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 :)
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
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 :)
Just about to do the same now! Lol
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 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 :)
Wow, exactly the right tempo and depth. Really need it as a newbe, amazing! Thank you!
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 :)
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 ;)
Me: *Wants to build a Gothic-Class cruiser*
Also me: Where does the go?
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!
Thank you Splitsie! I have watched you guys for a while and now and finally have a rig capable of running this game smoothly. This guide is a tremendous help.
You're very welcome Dave, glad you can finally jump into the game and enjoy it too :)
@@Splitsie Admittedly i feel a bit spoiled in that the game has so many features and QOL improvements from when it first released. Thanks for pioneering the title for us!
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.
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*
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 :)
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 :)
just got this game and man was it overwhelming. these vids are massively appreciated.
Thanks, glad they've helped :)
Finally tutorail that i needed
Hope it gets you off to a good start :)
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
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!
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 :)
just started playing this game...love it. just watched this first video... subbed. nice work, keep it up!
Thanks, hopefully you get as much fun out of the game as I've had :)
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!
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: ☹️
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
Find an online server to play on and make some friends.
I kind of do this with Kerbal Space Program minus uninstalling ,and the fact multiplayer is not even a option (kind of)
I'm just starting this game and you are helping me tremendously. Thank you so much.
Found your channel yesterday. Found your old survival thingy. Dindt keep on watching it because you started with a base and all that kind of stuff and I wanted to know how to start from the basics. Well here it is, pretty happy about it, will keep watching it.
Yeah, prior to this update you had no choice but to start with a mostly functional base. My single player start was actually one of the most minimalistic starts that was possible then. I've been very happy with this update making survival feel more... survival-y :P
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
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
"Let's build five Interior plate, and let's build five steel plate"
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 :)
I love this guide much better than any other I have found. Thank you.
It's a bit daunting at first but thanks to your video, I've got the hang of it and it's very rewarding gameplay!
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 :)
+1
I haven't played SE for about two years. happy to be coming back with this channel out there!!
Thanks, always happy to help people get back into the game :)
This series is great! I've failed to break in to Space Engineers several times I finally get it thanks to this!
You always do the best tutorial on space engineers i was strugling but when i saw that i was better than i was before thanks
You're very welcome, glad I could help :)
But an other problem my pc's struggling
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.
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 :)
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 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 :)
Hey, I got Space Engineers when the Xbox One version came out and I owe everything I learned about the basics of the game to you. Thanks mate, your series of videos allowed me to get a hang of the game. I originally had SE way back on PC but my rig bit the dust and this was back when SE was in early access.
Having it on XB got me back into the game, and your tutorials allowed me to expand my knowledge of SE even more.
Do You know How to connect the assembler to the refinery, both are attached But can only go to the refinery inventory
calm voice + not urgent + step by step= 10/10 tutorial, Thank you.
You're very welcome 🙂
These tutorials are not only good for Pc, they are great for Xbox’s
Good Job man
The in game tutorial was broken for me, I picked up the game a few days ago. After spending about 8 hours trying to figure things out on my own. It was a no go. This first video helped me sooo much!! Thank you for this awesome well explained tutorial. I will be watching the rest and now I can enjoy this master piece of a game!
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
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 :)
