    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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

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 :)

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.

      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.
