Thanks for the quick showcase, been playing around a little with it, but did not have much time with it yet. Definitely loving the new additions and possibilities - the Relay and Broadcast blocks can be great resources for vanilla Scenarios as well - Looking forward fiddling around with that. Another great mechanic they added was the claiming of NPC ships, I feel that is in preparation for their upcoming PVE update (really curious about that one). I think the only thing you might have missed is the small grid consoles, Which is gonna be great for Large Small grid ships.
I have already incorporated that idea on my main large grid ship. Plop down a hinge with a small hinge head and stack as many programmable blocks timer blocks for functionality as needed now I can just add more functionality by using these blocks to activate the scripts from the distance. Being away from base and telling the miner at base to start mining while I'm on my way back
I'm so very glad that you decided to share this with us because not everybody shows all of the information I'm so glad that I watched the video to the very end because that's going to be so exciting. Keep up the awesome great work.
Oh that's cool. I wonder if you could use these signal blocks to disable splitters at a mining station so our transports can only pick up ingots that are in demand.
You can. You just need a sorter for each ingot type and a signal relay to turn each of them on/off. Just make sure that each of them are on a different channel. Then when you send a signal from the relay on your base/ship/whatever to the mining station, it should turn the sorter attached to that particular channel on/off. You might also want to do a signal relay to turn them all off, as well as one to turn them all back on. Just in case you forget which ones are on/off or if you want to reset or turn the system entirely.
Did you noticed that the "Quick Start" scenario is actually the old lone station with the red ship that comes in the game since space engineers stone age, but updated. Love the update of the scenario and the "upgrade" of the old "Red Ship" And i cant wait to see the giant, server killing, carrier battles that will come
My favorite thing to do with the action relay is use it to manage drones. One channel deploys them, another puts them into a waiting mode, and a third recalls them back to their docks.
i wouldn't mind seeing some copper, aluminum, lithium, etc.. ores that are actually needed for certain blocks. (I.e. lithium for power cells, copper for electrical components like rotors, maybe aluminum that lets you build cheaper "armor" blocks when you're just getting started or in a space that's just aesthetic, not functioning as actual armor)
I have rather unpleasant memories of my starter rover crashing due to tipping and the cargo container would break, with enough ore to interact with the blocks incasing it, which would cause clang to blow up the entire back half of the rover :) Glad that a mini cargo container will drop instead of just killing my rover lol. Also hoping those narrow passages have higher durability, to act as small access hatches lol. This seems like the first DLC in a while that I would actually like to buy :D
It really sounds neat i dont play at all with other players though because of the nature of my job which kinda sucks but i do like the channel idea its like a cb where the common use channel is channel 19 now it would be really awesome of the antenna can detect nearby lightning and send put either a warning message or turn the lights red or something to let the player know a storm is a brewin'
You can use those new broadcast blocks to keep track of where your drone cargo ships get shot down at by enemies. You can have the cockpit pick up a target lock or a Defensive pick up a nearby enemy, have that trip the Broadcast to send off a GPS coordinate, and then find the wreckage later, and not need to wonder if it got shot down. Or you can have it send a GPS for Battery Low with an event controller- send the GPS message when you only have 1% power remaining.
Damaged cargo containers no longer exploding and releasing cargo which can bounce around and do more damage sounds good, but will the cargo containers themselves not slide around doing damage if you are moving?
@@jacedoran2853 Do you consider, that if I set GPS coordinates where it should go and it fly opposite direction till it loose power and crash, actually functional?
Got to admit I really dislike the new scenario menu. Tap tap tapping through a couple of images at a time is maddening. I've got A LOT of scenarios off the workshop. It takes AGES to navigate now, and the game seems to protest if you go too fast too.
except if you grind down a block with an empty inventory it still drops the little box. really annoying thinking you dropped stuff in every drill you're taking down. ( sorry if i have any spelling errors, typing with a broken finger)
It's neat but a little late on top of this I really just want more performance optimizations not adding on to it the game still doesn't run large builds very well never mind multiple large builds
I have to disagree man. Sure the update seems and is small when talkin about amount of new blocks but, (quoteing Neil Amstrong) is a small step but a giant leap at same time. The key word here to sum it all up is FLEET. A one man fleet.
How can you get the short side of the deal on a game you likely paid $20 for ten years ago that is still putting out content? This sort of update would be $40 on any modern AAA title and the entire game would be EOL 2 years later...
@@Hailstrumm Yes you are right. Automaton blocks have been around for a while now. You can have good behavior with them. But they needed to be preseted and cant be changed on the go (actually there was a way to do it but was simply impractical). Now we can set different behaviors and order our drone to attack, withdraw, dock, etc by simply pressing one key from our own ship's seat/cockpit while we do our own moves, and even more over that is that you can do it with multiple drones at same time with ONE KEY
Transmit: "ALERT: CoFeNi station is under attack!"
Yes!!!

The Message Block will be useful for Drones, Drone: "Coming into dock." "Docking Complete"

Fire one with a missile and a magnets plate at an enemy and you could plant a 'tracker' for when he jumps.

Is there a way to get the chat messages onto an LCD, like get a LCD to listen to a chat channel and display its message?
I can finally have wifi on the moon!
lol

The last time they added a new resource was ice. When the game first went live, it only had ion thrusters and jetpacks ran off energy.
I'm guessing the cargo container thi g was more for fps not having a bunch of components all over the place
The new corridor blocks are awesome! So much potential there!
Damaged cargo containers no longer exploding and releasing cargo which can bounce around and do more damage sounds good, but will the cargo containers themselves not slide around doing damage if you are moving?
The diagonal inset wall needs a version with a light. I see the narrow passage with storage that the light is setup like Chipstix's shower light mod.
this is going to be cool almost worth restarting my game all over again so i can rebuild with new stuff
Did they mention anything about making the AI block actually functional?
They are functional just have to know how to properly use em
@@jacedoran2853 Do you consider, that if I set GPS coordinates where it should go and it fly opposite direction till it loose power and crash, actually functional?
@@jakubkonecny4553bro use one-way then, not patrol. I literally use it for auto-docking at two locations and travel between them
Thanks for the overviee
well done.
... so, add a sensor with enemy small and large grid detection, and you could be notified if, say, cofeni is under attack???
That looks like fun

they must've fixed this, this doesn't happen anymore
So when will this next big update going to be?
Pve encounters is good but pvp encounters to get the new resources or something to get people into pvp more is better
Original antenna is 6 blocks tall, not 4.
noice
is Unobtainium coming????
Yeah. But you can't get it.
Enemy detect at base 50 miles away
PvE and exploration... it's about $%#@ time.
Lots of things optimised for console I think
U should use this on ur playthrew
Little late today
