It's funny, I just got done basically binge watching all of this series. I was thinking it sucked that now I have to wait for you to upload and boom! You upload. Your series is one of the best I've found on this game. Thanks for all the effort you put into your videos.
Just a suggestion when mining verticle shafts like you're doing to make entry and exit a bit easier.....right click beside the main shaft on each trip down in a circular motion around the main shaft each time, it will widen the shaft and make it much easier entering nad exiting deep mines Great series, have watched every episode so far, keep up the good work
On your base, a concept I have had a lot of fun with is build an emergency escape bunker. Secret/hidden tunnel to the bunker. Build an escape ship in the bunker. In an emergency, grin off the wall (or ceiling) then drill through the rest of the rock to escape. It's a lot of fun to plan and build. Make your escape tunnel "disappear" with a projector and welder(s). Booby-trap the tunnel. Cut off the tunnel and conveyor so it cannot be found on the base inventory. A lot of "sneaky" things you can do. An in the end, it is a starting point for a new series (if you want).
Lets just stick guns on the highly explosive tank of hydrogen! - In regards to the timelapses. Its interesting to see you drill the initial hole but multiple trips of the same thing gets a little boring when it drags out to like 10 mins of time lapses. - i dont mind watching building timelapses as its interesting to watch whats being built take shape but mining. Its just a hole in the end, doesnt need a crazy long timelapse. Keep up the good work though as i am enjoying watching this series.
Yeah when I was editing that episode I was feeling the same way, I think I might just do a single trip for each and then kinda leave it at that, but yeah the building timelapses are awesome 😎✌️. Thanks mate, these next few episodes will have a lot of building in them 😉
I _really_ like the idea of putting little defenses on the "satellite" asteroids. Put some blinking lights on them, and they will double as navigation beacons. Something I'd like to do (which as usual doesn't mean that I expect you to do the same) is to use the new AI blocks to set up a group of defence drones. They would either patrol all the time, switching off in shifts between patrolling and recharging, or have a "panic button" that would scramble all of them when needed. Btw, looks like you need to talk to your gunner crew about the meaning of "danger close". Recently, I've gone back to playing No Man's Sky, and I've mostly played in Creative mode. That lets me build whatever I want without having to grind for resources, and I can explore as much as I want. It does take away most of the challenge, though, which is why I also have another save on Survival. That way I can choose if I want to relax and build something, or if I want a bit more of an adventure. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I like there to be a balance between building and fighting. Too much of either makes for a less entertaining watch. Also, the challenges you face influences what you build, and how you build it.
Yeah the little defense satellites are a must I think, I'm gonna have so many weapons on this asteroid that when they go off it will start accelerating through space!! 😂😂. No man's sky is a good game hey, I put quite a few hours into that game, It's been a long time since I played it though but I can see why you chose creative, the resource collection was pretty insane for all but the simplest of bases. Yeah I agree with you on the balance aspect, it looks like the drones have vanished again so I need to look into some of the MES Mods.
Armed to the teeth! My jaw hit the floor when your ship obliterated that drone. LOL Very nice episode! I enjoy one, long time lapse, and not several. The reason as that I really enjoy your commentary.
Greetings, I really like the look of your Prometheus. the tires added for aesthetics in the thumbnail caught my eye. Toward the end of the video You mentioned wanting more of a challenge .. I havent played in a while but if the SPRT antenna trick still works, build an solar drone ship with timers and Named Antennas. set a waypoint path that takes it near your base every few hours , the timers "blink" the antennas on/off every 20 min or so in a staggered way and then give the whole thing to SPRT faction of the space pirates. every time its close enough to one of your ships or base it will trigger waves of auto spawned SPRT drones that will attack you, and as i recall there were a dozen different antenna names that would spawn in various types/amounts of drones. the more antennas that are active, the potential response could be huge.. or a dud. =)
Thanks mate, it's actually built by another guy on the workshop and then Keen implemented into the base game as a wreckage 😊👌. The SPRT Antenna idea is really good too, I never even considered that 🤔😊✌️
Thanks heaps mate, you and me both are keen to get that thing up and running, I really gotta finish it hey but I kinda hit a creative wall with it, but I'm sure if I chip away at it enough I'll get her done 😎👌
Also when going down with miner use set all of the the gyro to overrid (all values to 0), that way miner wont be tilting - untill it will hit ground (descending to fast). Same thing you can use to mine tunnels/caverns
Fantsaic As Ever , Really Ejoying This Series Thanks for another Funny and Great Vid I like The Mining Time Laps keep it UP :) .........also with the new AI block it would be so cool to have your own fighter drones fly out their own little hangars for your big asteroid . and i love the idea of little Dacca asteroid's around lol
Thanks mate, really appreciate it!!! 😁👍 Yeah some small fighters would be awesome hey, I think I will build a third hanger and get some drones online! 😎
hey mate I think you are ready for reavers and to play without PVE can be very straight forward but your building style is so good that at times it can stand on its own. BTW i am back watching Wasteland again for the third time really love the intricate building style. Thanks as always for making great content
Don't know if it too late (given the age of the video and current plans) but if you put the respawn pod on the back of the prometheus could that offset the drift a bit your getting from the mammoth and avalanche? Have not really played much of space engineers myself but I enjoy watching these videos
Yeah you could definitely do that, as long as the weight between them was the same front to back and they were the same distance from the center point then I reckon that would work 😎👌
I would put the weapons to target only weapons or power, so they don't keep firing at random armor blocks floating around, target only weapons if you don't mind drones flying around you without any working weapon, or power to just disable them at once, I usually have a combination of some targeting weapons, others targeting power
Yeah I tried to set them to do that but it seems like since warfare 2 that is now tied up with new targeting system, so I'm not sure if it only works when the guns are locked onto something or when they are AI aiming.
@@TheGarageGamer86 AI aiming, not linked with Locked target, if you set the turret to target weapons and lock a ship with no weapons, nothing will happens.
I have commented this before but can you please make the Prometheus an actual ship. Pressurize the command deck. Put windows in. A nice vessel like that shouldn’t just be completely open to vacuum.
😅😅 Yeah it does seem pretty bad, honestly though I think it would take me a few hours to do and I'm not sure if I am willing to commit the time to this ship 🤔
I don't know why you didn't put a camera and maybe a remote controller pointing up, so that you could fly straight out of the holes you dig with that miner.
IF the AIs are set to shoot your weapons? mounting them on Hydrogen tanks and refineries is counter productive, lol. unless your goal is nice explosions.
Have you thought about contacting Splitsie? He is in the progress/completed a mod that has made just what you are looking for with regards to making NPCs a lot more challenging.
from one engineer to another, im taking a lot of ideas about your editing style and trying to apply them to my own, its kinda hard to keep the flow going when cutting ou tboring stuff. I doubt ill beable to put out content like this or splitsies but im giving it my best shot lol
Just keep doing you mate, everyone's style is different and eventually you get into a groove of things and then from there you start to think of small ways to improve. 😎✌️
@@TheGarageGamer86 i appreicate that, ive never actually done any kinda of video editiong before but i think you might be right in terms of the flow it seems to be getting easier tho. like the time laps for example i alwasy thought those were really hard to do and then i made one in like 3hrs maybe?
Hey The Garage Gamer you know you can set GPS true chat.... hehe just messing with you man. 😆😄😋 what they need to do is rebalance the entire game, have far far less resources and increase build cost 10X or more then it would be better in my opinion.
😂😂 Yeah that definitely would make it more challenging, I honestly did not think I would be able to gather this many resources so quickly so it doesn't feel as challenging as it did in the first episode 😅
Hey bud, nice video, i would be picking that first asteroid, seemed like a better choice with that big hole already there to make into an opening. Did you ever get around to checking out the ship design?? for the atmo miner?? Im curious as to your thoughts. I always have trouble making ships look good, but with your design that i had to stick too, it made it way easier.
Yeah the only thing I was concerned about was my hanger being a bit weird, because I kinda want it to be similar to the garage I had built for the Nomad in my last series where the walls are mostly exposed rock, I reckon that would look cool 😎✌️. Sorry mate, no I haven't 😔 You sent me a link on Steam yeah?
Why dont you turn down in game sounds when you recording? So that when you are flying your large hydrogen ship we can hear you amd it wont seem like your shoutting over the game sounds. I am genuinely curious and not trying to be picky. Love your content that you provide!
Yeah it's funny you mention that, I have this mod installed called Sneaky Sounds that Splitsie made to reduce the noise of the tools and also storms, maybe I can convince him to add ship sounds to that as well 😊👌. Most of the other game sounds are quite acceptable though I think 🤔
So then, is your goal to make a newer, better version of the asteroid base you did ~3 years ago? With all the new blocks in the game since then, and with your expanded experience base, I can't wait to see how it'll come out.
I go by the weight of the ship, you just need to make a mental note of how much it weighs when all of the cargo containers are full and then when it gets to that weight you know it's time to head back 😎. Also, the weight will show the same regardless of if you are in space or on a planet 😉
It's very common on older builds from before any of the DLC's were released, they are actually supposed to be half finished wheels, very similar to how the ship has half ground down windows, you also see in one of the loading screens that keen made they use half ground down wheels underneath wind turbines to form a makeshift tower.
If an enemy object is moving 100m/s and your primary turrets are set to 1400m, then by setting that warfare assault gun to 1100m you are essentially assuming your other turrets will destroy the object in 3 seconds which does not happen. So your argument to save ammunition with the big gun by setting to 1100m isn't viable.
26:50 Personally, I can't stand time lapses. The annoying music, and the assumption that I'm too lazy to skip forward in the video are both really silly to me. It's a video. Why worry about the "boring" parts, I can just skip them.
It's funny, I just got done basically binge watching all of this series. I was thinking it sucked that now I have to wait for you to upload and boom! You upload. Your series is one of the best I've found on this game. Thanks for all the effort you put into your videos.
I literally could not agree with you more!
Thanks so much mate, really appreciate that! Reading comments like this is extremely motivating!!! 😎✌️
man , this channel is the PERFECT balance of quality and quantity 😊

Great series, have watched every episode so far, keep up the good work
Thanks for tip man!! That's a great Idea! 😎✌️
Hey dude ive a feeling your new base is going to be siiick!! 😁
The connectors were changed so they dont disconnect with no power just so u know^^ 👌
Oh really? That's awesome to know! Thanks mate, yeah I am hoping I can convey what I have in my head into something interesting in game 😎✌️
Don’t forget to set the canons to target weapons if your after the uranium salvage
On your base, a concept I have had a lot of fun with is build an emergency escape bunker. Secret/hidden tunnel to the bunker. Build an escape ship in the bunker. In an emergency, grin off the wall (or ceiling) then drill through the rest of the rock to escape. It's a lot of fun to plan and build. Make your escape tunnel "disappear" with a projector and welder(s). Booby-trap the tunnel. Cut off the tunnel and conveyor so it cannot be found on the base inventory. A lot of "sneaky" things you can do. An in the end, it is a starting point for a new series (if you want).
I love this Idea! I did have something similar in an older asteroid base I built, except it was more of just an escape door 😎✌️

Woo 3 days and I already made it to episode 13. I'm happy I have more videos to catch up on
Yeah with any luck there will be 100+ in this series 😎✌️
Another great episode, looking forward to seeing the Anubis brought to life to conquer the system
Thanks heaps mate, you and me both are keen to get that thing up and running, I really gotta finish it hey but I kinda hit a creative wall with it, but I'm sure if I chip away at it enough I'll get her done 😎👌
@@TheGarageGamer86 i know what that is like, i have more than a few ships i couldnt figure how to progress with.
love the design of your Prometheus. Gonna have to make one of my own!
IKR. makes me want to try and build my own.
Oh it's actually a workshop item, you can find it here 😎✌️ - steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=698387294
Garage Gamer: Prometheus is a cargo ship it can't hurt nobody
Prometheus when a pirate drone shows up: Give me some fucking meat
Also when going down with miner use set all of the the gyro to overrid (all values to 0), that way miner wont be tilting - untill it will hit ground (descending to fast). Same thing you can use to mine tunnels/caverns
That's a good idea actually! I am also tempted to disable the drill shake because it is annoying 😂
Fantsaic As Ever , Really Ejoying This Series Thanks for another Funny and Great Vid I like The Mining Time Laps
keep it UP :) .........also with the new AI block it would be so cool to have your own fighter drones fly out their own little hangars for your big asteroid . and i love the idea of little Dacca asteroid's around lol

The Wheels using a lot of idle power.
Didn't notice that haha! Cheers 😊
Love that mining montage
Thanks man, glad you liked it!! 😎✌️
Miner looks like a giant flash light lol
It does hey 😎👌
I like the second asteroid, personally. Better shape overall IMHO.
use your life pod ship go to the side of a montain and make a base in side the mountain make a hanger
lol a Episode whit a flying mining pillar since its like a flying tower whas it horizontal it whould have bin a flying worm
The assert mod with the bunkers and loot would be good it as they can send drones and set up bases
Thanks man!! I will be checking this out for sure! 😎✌️
Love how u do your videos,
Thanks mate, I really appreciate that!! 😎✌️

BTW i am back watching Wasteland again for the third time really love the intricate building style. Thanks as always for making great content
Thanks heaps for the kind words man 😎✌️. comments like this really make me feel awesome about my builds, cheers mate 😁
When you're using your miner set the gyroscopes to override this will prevent it from jumbling around.
Thanks mate, I swear I have seen a setting somewhere where you can turn off the drill shake, it does get rather annoying 😂

You still did not add the camera on top of the miners far easier going up :P

question is the carrier ship and the mammoth on the workshop by chance? i love the look of it and how big they are

Nice! I need to get in there and clean up a few things aye 😊
where might one find the blueprint to this ship??
Right here my man 😎👌 - steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=698387294
what's the ship name. is it in the work shop?
I had no idea you could turn off turret idle movement...I always wanted to turn them off...everyday is a school day
Yeah Space Engineers is like that, always something new to learn, I'm still learning 2.2K hours into it 😅😂
connector since the last update dont require power to work.
Oh really? I didn't know that! Thanks for letting me know 😊
What's the deal with the wheels on the side of ships? I see them all the time in ship builds but can't figure out what they're for.
Coolness man ... Coolness
maybe, ramming or protaction?
For the same reason you see tires on sides of boats?
It's very common on older builds from before any of the DLC's were released, they are actually supposed to be half finished wheels, very similar to how the ship has half ground down windows, you also see in one of the loading screens that keen made they use half ground down wheels underneath wind turbines to form a makeshift tower.
What ship is this? The big Orange one?
That would be this one here mate 😎 - steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=698387294&searchtext=EF+382+Prometheus
connectors somehow dont need power
Yeah I think they may have changed it haha I seem to remember they needed power at some point 🤔

Hey can you upload the Mammoth to the Workshop please?
Done 😎
Thank you very much
Can I get some help on build a ship please as I’m new to the game
looks like he only responds to ppl who pay subscriptions i think you should go make a base on oz ya bogan
26:50 Personally, I can't stand time lapses. The annoying music, and the assumption that I'm too lazy to skip forward in the video are both really silly to me. It's a video. Why worry about the "boring" parts, I can just skip them.
Why don't you build these 2 miners into the ship? Basically 2 vertical tubes that house the miners on the sides or on one end. 🤔🥸
Yeah I don't wanna invest too must time into this blueprint hahaha, I dare say later on it will get destroyed by reavers or something lol
you are the reason i made my channel
That's so awesome dude!! 😎✌️
