really enjoying this series great job

Love these series! Just wondering, you running any mods?

I like to see the different ways people do drill rigs. I just started figuring out SE and one survival start put me on top of a plateau 🙈 but I got the wise idea to put a corkscrew chasm all the way down 1.75km and then over to come out at a lake bed about 2 km sideways. So far I've got a 25 block wide drill head spinning 175km deep (13 hour drill time yikes) and thats only 10% of the depth. Once I get the bottom though I'm im setting up the drill like a late and cutting a ramp from top to bottom to drive down, then bore out sideways to get to the nice exit by the lake. About 3 km of hole 25-30 block wide because I want to make the sideways bore big too. Waypoints are helping a lot, but storage and production of the stone is a big challenge more tham getting the depth at that width. No ore at all, just stone but, theres so much of it I have too much material in a few minutes 😂 The gravel problem is easy injust collect it and when i have a large storage container full i have an automatic valve to dump it back into the hole i started drilling to gwt the base out of the ground. If i was thinking i would've put the main hols over the start hole but its my first episode where i finally got oast the first few things because building is a little different than what im used to in other games. Even without enemies so I could learn the game thoroughly I'm running into so many problems I have to build my way out of, so it is very interesting anyway 😂 Liking the event controller, I have a overfill shut off, and when the drill bottoms out it shuts down and oulls the head back up so i dont have to watch it, now to outrun the stone production. 13 big grid drills, I don't think I can at this level, but I'm going to plan a sorter network of cargos and when the stone cargos get full I'll shut down the drill until the refineries catch up then continue the drilling. Trying to use all containers set to a % I still need to keep shifting stone around a lot and I've got so many other things now I want to build on this rig/base 😂 so the sorter network is probably the best way to solve it I think. Constantly producing parts too so I can use up some material too and keep it all flowing but 13 big drills steady cutting makes a full large cargo in a few minutes though 😂

I recently built a scissor configured mining rig that reached a depth of 330 meters from the surface and gained a total of 30 milling liters of stone. It was a proof of concept to determine how deep I could get this system to mine. Now to reconfigure the mining ship I have built that is on the workshop to accommodate this massive 14 block tall system. The drill platform could be very large if needed. My main use of this system is to dig the initial access to the ore body for access by my ship miner that can further dig out the rest of the ore. The ships are called the Ultra Mega Minner MK3 or MK4. They are built in atmospheric and Hydrogen engine configuration. At the moment their depth of is a maximum of 70 meters. My original design only got to 3O meters. The introduction of hinges made this design possible. Though it was not my original idea, thanks to EpikTech for the design and Splitse for the original build. The scissor configuration is a bit tricky to get down and to operate correctly. The only drawback is that is slow, very slow. The end result is very large openings to access the rest of the ore. The block count is 5000+ and PCU is not as big as you would think. They are still massive ships, and the new design will be even larger. I want to be able to dig down to Gold and Silver. Those are some of the deepest ores on planet surfaces. Good job on the episode. Keep having fun with a game I have played for almost 7 years. I never get tired of it.

Nice video, I would like to see a ground vehicle with one or two support drones following it. This would greatly improve your chances of a successful mission.

I would go with a land military vehicle as you already have a flyer & it would be more survivable in combat as its not going to get shot down.

Great progress! I feel like making an air vehicle would be like skipping a step in this playthrough. So building a tank to take care of enemy ground bases on the planet to then later move up into the air (and space) seems like the sensible way of progression.

I really didnt think the unbalanced drill head was going to work. Also is there a mod that gives you Fe, Ni, and Si from rock in addition to gravel? I could have sworn the refinery just produced gravel from stone. Edit: nvm, the wiki says the refinery gives you resources from stone just like the survival kit

Just saw your channel recently and love your content. I hope you don't slow down your SE videos for this, but I love this game and hope you continue this. Also, skip the storyline stuff unless you roleplay your reactions. There is my 2 cents worth of opinion.

Just found your channel. Only critique is 'maybe' slow down and walk us through ship/vehicle/base building. I would enjoy hearing you 'toot' your own horn, explaining 'why' you placed things where you did. Yeah, I know, lame constructive criticism. I've seen a little more this recording...thanks for that. I do think the recording is interesting and has good pacing. You have a good recording voice as well. So far I've watched r2r # 6 and 7. I'll probably go back and watch the previous. Keep it up. I hope you get found by more eyes. 😁

should've turned the gatling turret on so it shot down the ship automaticly instead of manually,would waste less ammo

Place a sorter with drain all and white list components and ore at the connector and it will pull everything from ship to your large container

Just need a med station now

Great video. u gave me some new ideas. thankyou

Love watching your videos, they are so relaxing and nicely made. Looking forward for the nest ep!

Looking good! I partly wish I started on a planet in my latest game. Went for the good old asteroid spawn

Great series! :D

When building the roof can you put welders on pistons to make them able to reach the entire roof without haveing to disassemble them to move them?

Your base is coming along nicely and it's good to see people using the welder blocks for a change instead of hand welding. I'm looking forward to the next episode.

Thinking about it and remembering all the real life structures with that sort of beam supporting the roof I would have done them so they where above the armour block layer as a reinforcement to it rather than a support.

Can't wait for the next episode. I binged the first 3 but didn't get notified of the new ones even though I'm subbed, but then I got to binge the next 4. Gotta say, I couldn't do it. I barely make it even with a drop ship. Good Game

this was the most unique episode of space engineers i think i've ever seen

😂😂😂

I love this playthrough so much that i got the game. Played it for a couple of hours through the first grind of just digging stone and then died when my suit ran out of power cause i didnt know how to recharge it. I also didnt know that an engineer dies when his battery runs out...

Loved it, & very much want to see more of this

That ending 🤣

lol that ending tho

those beds and lockers get things in them about every 20 minutes

2 batteries (1 for outside charging the ship, the other inside making the inner machines run) 1 To Do list screen 2 blinker lights.. 1 camera and an Ore detector for the ship, also carry the necessary parts in the ship to build a drill, but remember to keep the ship light.. or it won't fly.. no rocks.. just ore.

I only add mods that kinda help but mostly one like batterys and all type solar gen and sive thing to help when I'm stuck with bad guy close its not to much cheat just take long time to get other ore and still have to wait to get platinum for tools and cobalt hard to get and gold and uraium

Very nice.

Hi I'm am enjoying your videos, if you don't mind I would like to suggest adding two quality of life mods to your game. Both of these mods add color to your Hub, one is "Color Hud" and the other is "Colorful Icons". This will just add some colours to your Hud. 👍

Good to see this back & the mild save scumming is quite understandable learning the game and its a harsh mistress

I hope you didn't have to throw away all of that stone that you mined 😢

Another good video

This is fascinating, I've never seen anyone try to play this way. Its not my place to tell you how to play but... I would have looked for a storage container and battery on the ship and connected the two so you would have a powered storage unit, or built one on the side of a surviving battery and and then grind down the ships for parts. Keep up the good work.

Awesome cinematic. I'm now more invested in the series cause I want to see this guy get back to his mom 😊

Few armor blocks and a couple battery's on the end work well for pivoting vehicles. I am curious, why not make a rover to bring the materials back?

Nice. New episode.

Your stuff might still be in the containers at the station, you were in the connected containers mode which doesn't work for blocks you don't own. You need to have the helmet icon selected on both sides.

great episode, the difficulty in the game is the frequency of those random fly byes

I expected you to turn that into a rover, but it flies surprisingly well with just a handful of thrusters!

thank you

the hired guns flying erratically remind me of an injured bird trying to fly, almost as if they were in pain and were trying to get a grip of their situation. regardless, they held some good components

Hi, is this world downloadable?

Mods ? also the "no jet pack" makes it painfully slow, not sure building scafholdings is the thing your viewers want to watch.

I am curious why you didn't completely build the light armor blocks of your tower since the big ship had so many armor blocks. It seemed the little ship kept 1-shoting you multiple times because a single bullet hit an unfinished armor block and separated the turbine or gatling gun from the rest of the tower.

can you give a list of mods you use?

you can hold "alt" to look around while climbing a ladder
