This is the ULTIMATE GUIDE to learning Space Engineers and is the beginning of a series of videos covering how to play Space Engineers in survival. A lot of the tutorials for this game are too long, old or both so I decided I was going to make a tutorial that gets straight to the point and tells you everything you know to get started.
This video (and future ones in the series) is a fast paced run through of starting in Space Engineers with timestamps below to help you navigate quickly through. If you have any questions or think I've left anything out of the video, leave a comment and I will can help you or I will use your feedback in the next video.

Anything I missed if you're confused about? LEAVE A COMMENT!
Let me know and I can answer those questions in the following videos!
You don't need to activate the jetpack to leave a hole, just aim slightly up and RMB to take away material until you reach the surface, then walk away.
@@oscargaming7582 It was to demonstrate how the jetpack worked, I know I wasn't really stuck.
@@Zer0sLegion OK
Please make a part 2
I'm subscribed to your channel I'll wait as long as I need to
Oh, how I envy everyone who found this guide before learning it all themselves. You'd think there would be better hints/tips within the game, but this surely does a better job than that ever could. 10/10
100% agreed. Though, I gotta admit, finding out all by myself and seeing that first pod flying again and moving from a terrible mountain slope to a flat frozen lake rich in metals gave me such such feeling of accomplishment. Giving it wheels, expanding it, made me feel like that movie with the guy stuck in Mars.
I think this is the first time I’ve ever been envied! 🤣 super glad to see this comment though, I know I’m in the right place
Literally the first 50 seconds tells me more than the actual game does. Brilliant, thank you.
As someone who bought the game when it first came out in nearly access and just got back into it, this video is EXACTLY the refresher I needed. Thanks mate!
This video touched me in all the right places. THANKS!
You're welcome
feedback gaming space engineers series? 😳😨😳
Eww
sus
Ahahaha
Although I've learned all of this from my own experimentation and 265 hours, I can show this incredibly useful video to my friends who haven't played before. Very nice!
Same for me! Spent way too long trying to learn this game. Glad this video will help you and your friends!
Please make a part 2. I started in space and it is incredibly difficult for a first time start but this is still incredibly helpful and intuitive
It is fantastic that you speak at a reasonable rate. I usually have to speed up tutorials, because the presenter speaks so slowly. Good job!
Absolutely amazing guide. Also yt recommended this 5 days later to me so its a good sign, this might blow up
This is where all the legends start, which is always the beginning.
Awesome video, it wasn't long-winded but was detailed enough to explain everything necessary. I will be showing this video to my friends instead of trying to teach them myself!! Looking forward to part 2!
this is top tier intro video, you dont get bogged down in details, great job.
omg this was so nice, super informative but also short and fast, definitely a good tutorial!! AWESOME VIDEO, GREAT JOB!
oh yes please! i can’t wait for the continuation of this series!
“I Think it should be noted you definitely shouldn’t do that” was hilarious
Great starter video, i would add the trick of partially grinding then reassembling the landing gear to get that progression. Otherwise solid.
bought the game yesterday. been back to watch this 5-6 times already, and there are many more visits on the way! thankyou for making this.
Amazing video to get new players like myself started. Clear and straight to the point. Thank you
Just started playing this game, this tutorial was really helpful and actually kept my attention the entire time unlike other tutorials!
That's what I like to hear!
Just starting space engineers, this video is a gem.
Finally got around to trying this game out and this was a massive help!
Big thanks
This is one of those games where you watch people make crazy stuff and get stuck 5 minutes in when you actually try it
I played a bit years and years ago. The new submarine in gta online reminded me of this game so much that I’m looking into playing it again lol
Thanks for the Vid dude
omg, this saved me lol! I started up the premade start where I was dropped on an asteroid only to get completely lost in all the different options and controls set in front of me. My brain got lost in the possibilities, making it nearly impossible to find the proper beginning of the way forward lol. Watching this gave me more direction by not giving any unnecessary information, helping m to block all the rest out until I'm ready for it. Tysm!!
Finally someone whos talking speed is not of a sloth.
The secret reason I made this video in the first place 😜
I was expecting this game to be overly complicated but this basic tutorial and the fact that you can semi-easily learn more complex stuff over time has intrigued me.
Thanks for teaching me this. Funny thing you did a better job then my friend who was playing on xbox with me 💀
Short, sweet, and jam-packed with info. This is the first video I watched on your channel. I subbed immediately. Great content!
Glad it helped!
I have been polaying SE from around 2014-2016, didn't really play since then... I do remember planets coming outy though.
I started a new game on Earthlike with a drop pod and ragequitted after not understanding how to do things,m get resources, etc... I didn't know survival kit had a integrated storage AND crafter, wow. Now things started to look much more logical, thank you very much!
This was immensely helpful. How you only have 234 subscribers I don’t know, but I will gladly be your 235th. I hope you make more content, I’m going to be binging everything on your channel tonight I think.
39 hours in and didn't know about the right click function of the welder. OH MY GOD THATS HELPFUL 😭
I was worried this game would be like ARK, LOADS to do, NO Instructions at All. Sounds like that's the case (Game installing while I watch your video). So glad I found your video. I'm sure it'll end up save me hours in the early game. Thanks!
Glad I could help
Wow, i remember when you would spawn on a platform with a red and green ship to troll around in xD
Ah, the good old days
If you want to play with mods, and the mod button is disabled, goto the game settings and enable Experimental Mode.
If economy is enabled, look in your seat on the drop pod, you will find a datapad, right click it and it will give you a location to a trading outpost, head there to get started on economy.
Dude you are a absolute legend! Now I can get a actual base starting instead of just mindlessly wandering!
Wish I would've seen this first. First thing I did was grind down the whole drop pod. Lol.
This is much better than the official videos in the game.
Great vid! I feel like I should have a latte and three cups of coffee whilst viewing this vid...oh wait...I did. I still needed to pause and rewind a bunch, but that was MUCH better than having an overly wordy vid. Thus can this vid be utilized as a reference vid -- returning frequently and bookmarked -- versus a one-and-done.
Bravo. Loving it.
Very good video! Excited for part 2, because my friend and I may or may not have crashed our first ship, because we didn't know how to build or fly it.
I'm just editing it at the moment, should be ready soon!
This video was so easy to follow by the way you explain each concept. Thanks for taking the time to make this for our benefit! 😎
Glad it was helpful!
This video is so helpful! I can’t wait for the next one this game can just be a little overwhelming. Keep it up hope your doing well!
this was very informative, thanks Zer0!
Yeah, I agree with the other comments. I'm just starting off and after playing the first two scenarios on getting started, this video seemed to help me out a bit more. Thank you for putting it up!
Great, short video. Does not waste time. Does what it says. More please.
Thank you for making this video.
Wow! What an incredibly useful intro! Thank you SO MUCH! :D
underrated channel ong
Wow! Thank you so much for this. Been debating whether to give this game a try since have had it in my steam library for a few years. Looks like I should have started it at the start of this covid/lockdown, not at the end of it. Guess it will stay untouched since i am too lazy to spend days gathering resources to start having some fun. Thanks for the upload.
The trick to not gathering resources is to play with friends and get them to do it!
hope you'll do more SE content, I'd like to see some more advence Tutorial or just lets play.
Great video
Just came across your channel, I haven't played in years and planning to get back into it. So much has changed so looking forward to more tutorials from you and maybe a let's play?? 😄 Also I play on Xbox so controls are a little different but the concept is the same so I can follow along 😀
Very good video! Precise and helpful. Subscribed
This video is amazing, million subscribers level of good.
Waiting for the next video!
Thank you for this I’m new and I came from no man’s sky while looking for other great space games and it was a bit complex at the start but now it’s easier
Great video!
I literally just crashed a brand new (attempt) atmospheric ship… I bought the game on a friend’s recommendation… I’ve blown up more things than I’ve successfully built…
I have given up on self-experimentation to figure out this game. I need help. Thank goodness this tutorial exists.
I crashed many a ship when I started playing, I don't know if that's part of the fun or part of the learning process lol
Thank you for this
gonna have to start a game after work now. always got so confused with what to do in the beginning i always gave up
this was SOOOO useful, THANKS!
Glad I could help!
And here I stand having thought I needed the armor blocks to be at least functional to transfer electricity o.o
i shelved the game until i could find a good guide, this is great and motivation to go back
You’re now my favorite space engineer CZcamsr
Thank you! ♥️
Just picked up space engineers again and i gotta say thanks for making this. Would love to see more!
great video keep up the good work
2 days of searching and randomly trying shit i can finally build something to mine with
OMG! this was so good! I just got this game and I'm so lost! thanks for this beginners guide!
Glad it helped!
I bought the game, and attempted to play.. looking back I should've looked at these guides haha
This is very informative. I hope you get a lot of subscribers in the future.
Thank you!
We should be able to just tap alt to reset the third person camera.
That was a good vid! Subscribed!
Thank you!
@@Zer0sLegion um, at 9:39 the wind turbine isn't spinning, but at 9:40 the wind turbine is spinning, what did I need to do to make it actually spin and generate power? Oh wait, maybe I need to wait until there is more wind during the day. I've built it and finished welding it at night.
You don't have to do anything to get it to spin, it should do it automatically.
GREAT video but just one question when is part 2 coming?
I saw this game years ago and loved watching the likes of splitsie and shack and other CZcamsrs play it it looked like a ton of fun and I thought it had a campaign mode and then I got it and was very extremely disappointed. It does not have a campaign mode and it's also very hard not very intuitive for a guy coming from battlefield 4. I really want to give it another go and I think this video will help me!
Thanks man thisbwas actually a really good refresher. Haven't played in almost a year lol. When do we get the rover and other stuff guide? 🤔 😅
Soon, i've edited the first 6 seconds.
I actually like to start with the space pod granted I spend about 15 minutes rebuilding the front 😅 but it far easier then starting on the planets or moons
Hi! Great video series! I'm struggeling with one thing though. I can't make the survival kit because i need 3 medical comp. which requires silver to make. How did you assemble that before moving your base to a new location which has the good ores? Thanks for any help!
You can't make the medical components, you have to use the ones in your survival kit on your respawn pod.
Amazing, this has helped me decide to keep reinstalling this game haha - I haven't played properly since early access :D
ok so i just got this game as i now have a computer that can run it. i have NEVER seen anyone use the build planner thing too queue up production, TY for showing that holy shit thats usefull XD
Where is the next one? Please!!
I'm still new and to place a block I feel like GOD
I've had the game in my steam library for like 8 months but have only played 45minutes. Wish I found this 8 months ago.
Part 2 WHEN!?
SOON!
@@Zer0sLegion Four months, four long months...
Please make part 2
When will the second part be released?
Would love to see this Tutorial on the Console version as well. that way we can see the changes in difficulty due to the progressions.
I'm not aware of any of the differences between console and PC but I'd imagine it's 99% the same assume from controls.
Funny ore detector small ship 50m radius but I had built the next hand drill upgrade and finally found that cobalt 70m down while walking....
The ore detect range is way too low by default, I normally use mods to up it.
12:47, This would have been a good time to Grind down all parts of the survival kit seeing as you can Recycle the Resources into your base. Or you can ignore it and Loose all those unused components.
I think I ground down everything except for the battery are you would lose the power cells
Idk i transform droppod into mining ship
hey i have a question how did you build the small cargo container i dont have enough of the cobalt required material
You can get the components from disassembling the thrusters on your starting pod.
How'd you get the metal grid for the cargo container without finding cobalt?
Grinding down the ship.
I have a question, now that I've attached and built a basic base I cant seem to copy blueprints and paste that components into either the survival kit or the basic assembler.
Am I doing something wrong?
You mean with the build planner? I think the survival kit does funny stuff if you try to build something that it can't craft.
@@Zer0sLegion
Yeah, that’s probably it.
I’ll just have to add the needed items into the queue manually. It’s kind of annoying that I can’t just use the build planner for this stuff anymore.
U Are The Best
No, you are the best ☝
I'm such an idiot I bought Space Engineers well over a year ago. Launched it then thought wow I thought this was a survival game not just scenarios.
Haha, they do hide it very well
Wait what, this is not survival game?!
Where did you find the cobalt for the small cargo container? I'm still trying to find it, and making another survival kit requires silver which I don't know how to find either. Neither seem to be refined from stone.
The metal grids and the medical components can be scavenged off of your ship.
@@Zer0sLegion Thank you for replying so quickly! I scavenged the thrusters, but one of the metal grids just straight up didn't drop, and I can't complete the cargo container. Any suggestions?
@@TowelGamingHammer There's another one in the cargo container inside the ship i'm pretty sure.
@@Zer0sLegion Yep, found the additional thruster in the center bottom of the ship, underneath the conveyer system. Taking that ship apart was satisfying, to see how it sorta works even as simple as it is... first base built and ship now fully scrappable. Hopefully it sets this new base as my spawn point, thank you so much! Time to build a rover!
oh my god, thank you. o_o I was so confused........... Or well, I still am.
Hiya, so I made the steel plate in production like you said, but no matter what I do, the plate refuses to move from its' spawn location. I can pick up everything else like the gravel, silicon wafer, nickel ingot, but the wafer will not budge.
That could be a million things
@@Zer0sLegion Guess I can't play the game if I can't build anything LOL Oh well, another game for the shelf.
@@jaheem666 can you explain the problem you were having in more detail?
@@Zer0sLegion Thank you so much for the replies, I really appreciate it. I landed, mined some rock, placed the rocks in production and made the plate just like you said and when I tried to drag it to my inventory, it just would not be placed there. I will try a new game and see if it works or not again.
Even though I changed nothing, this time I was able to move the plate from production to my inventory. Very strange. Again, thank you for your prompt reply :)
See how did you get the gurders for the turbine I’m trying so hard to learn
You assemble them
Very tightly edited, perhaps even too much too fast. But you've packed lots of vital info in there, and it's fair to assume that a newbie will refer to this tutorial more than once.
Minor omission #1: it's important not to grind down the starter survival kit until you have everything needed to build the large grid one on your base, which requires a few more components last time I checked.
Minor omission #2: most players would consider building battery on the base to be a higher priority than a first rover, but since a newbie will be excited/impatient to make their first vehicle that might be justified here. And I'm sure you'll mention it by the second or third video, so not a big issue.
Overall, a very good starter tutorial.
I wanted it to be fast as alot of other tutorial videos are very long and meander alot, maybe I went a bit overboard 😅. As for the battery, I didn't build one as I'm going to use a rover to move the base next episode and when you grind down a battery, you don't get all the components back. Thanks for the feedback though, I'll keep in mind about the survival kit for next time.
@@Zer0sLegion The omissions are fair but for the density, i like it to not wait through 5 min explination on how to place blocks.
I already knew the basics however so I cant speak on how newbies take the information density.
I just like tutorials compact.
@@Ommel195 I was coming at this from an absolute noobie perspective. Once you understand there's two different types of grids, it's probably quite obvious, but if you've never played the game before it's probably quite confusing. Same for rotating blocks. I did try to go over it quickly for those who were already in the know. There's also timestamps throughout the video for you to skip past bits you already know. Regardless, I'll take what you've said on board, the point of these tutorials is that they weren't meant to be bogged down.
@@Zer0sLegion Brevity is a virtue, agreed. And understood, re: your battery plan.
ok... I'm gonna buy this game...
just wondering is there a reason you have all the turbines far away
There's an optimal number you can place them to get the most energy but I put them whereever because I can't be asked to remember.
Wow. I wish the built in fucking tutorial would explain any of this. It just seems to break after telling me to make steel plates and repeats itself.
Nice video to learn! I just bought the game you know. However, i can't play it since the game can't load and therefore i cant play at it. Do you know how to fix this? I feel swindled
I would try the usual steps (reinstall, restart, check cache) and if that doesn't works, Google to see if you can find anyone else with the issue. If all that fails, you can always refund it.
@@Zer0sLegion I've already reinstalled it :/
Thanks anyways
