This is the only tutorial I could find that actually tells you how to build a ship, all the other ones act like you already know how and try to teach you shipwright voodoo when I don't even know how to make another slot for more turrets Kudos to you for starting with the basics
Same, this is the only tutorial that actually a tutorial and not *slap an image of an already built ship on my face or edit some already built ship and call it a tutorial
thank you, i was at 90 hours in and just now learned from you that you can hold left shift to place more than 1 of a thing at a time. i had become intimately familiar with very cost efficient builds and the default ships, not because they are good, but because they take less time parsing through those menus to produce.
@@ShadowcoastGaming good luck because for me the fps started dropping for each block i added until it crashed when i added the guns because i wanted to test the ship weight
Hey @Shadowcoast Gaming!!! I need help! how do I install the larger engines on ships? Also thanks soo much for these vids, they have been an absolute lifesaver!
@@ShadowcoastGaming a very fast silent striker! One fixed large engine for speed and lift, 4 gimballed, then a quartet of bombs, two R3s, and a single 130 cannon. Called her the Yo-yo, for the rapid dives to give bombs maximum speed then blitz out
How do you place mirror image components? I mean, the ship in this example has the same landing chassis parts, and I do mean EXACTLY the same landing parts; like it has two left legs. How do you make a right and left leg? And ships like the Nomad have feet parts on the landing legs. Do these actually do anything or do they just add mass for a more esthetically pleasing landing leg?
You've probably figured it out by now, but I believe you just rotate it the way you want and it will mirror itself automatically upon placing it. As for adding the feet; it should make a difference. I've only got 4 hours though.
This game runs really badly at my laptop. It can run witcher 3 low setting but this 2d paper plane simulator runs in like 10 fps or so. If u guys got any of them performance tips. Let me know. Anyway have a great day

This exactly.
I was tearing my hair out how to build those damn ships!!!
Thanks, very informative, very direct to the point!

Haha glad it was helpful!
Hey hey ppl, i came here to learn how to build ship
Actually you don't need any crew quarters if your ship needs 60 crew or less as the bridge provides that.
Great callout - I haven't built one small enough for that but good to know!
@@ShadowcoastGaming I tried to build one but it was wonky as all hell :'D
Great tutorial, thank you for starting at the beginning.
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much dude. Just got the game and had no idea where to start. Thank you!
The only tutorial that helped me. You are an excellent teacher
Liked and subbed
Thank you!
I greatly appreciate this how-to video, thank you very much! subbed! this game is HARD but I want to be good at it
Haha definitely a difficult game but really fun once you dig in and practice a few expeditions!
great tutorial to get started. thanks for the help!
Glad to be of help!
Really good tutorial, thanks mate. Hope to see more from ya. Maybe even a showcase of some of your ships or sped up recording on some of your builds.
Thanks!
Thx! Good video! :)
Solid, thanks!
Is there a faster way to place parts without having to click and drag? I have tried every key on my keyboard
I don't think so (at least not that I've found)!
how do you turn the maneuver thrusters around? scroll wheel doesn't seem to be working on those
I don’t think you angle them as they are automatically gimbled I.e. they rotate when in combat - the fixed thrusters only go down I think!
is there a way to build ship faster than just holding shift???
I do not believe so - I have to hold shift to assign hull components - haven't found a way to drag a bunch together which would be nice!
@@ShadowcoastGaming i was trying to build a big ship 35x28 but the game crashed :(
maybe thats why they never added that option?
@@monokendo Haha maybe - I'll post a few videos on creating massive ships!
@@ShadowcoastGaming good luck because for me the fps started dropping for each block i added until it crashed when i added the guns because i wanted to test the ship weight
@@monokendo Oof I'm sorry - maybe reinstall? That should not happen!
I made IJN Kaga Class over this, but it's unreliable for Combat. Strongly Defensive with it's many Blindspots CIWS 😂
Hey @Shadowcoast Gaming!!! I need help! how do I install the larger engines on ships? Also thanks soo much for these vids, they have been an absolute lifesaver!
Glad to be of help - you need to install the large yellow panel the add in the large engines!
@@ShadowcoastGaming I’m assuming it’s the “large hull”?
Edit: yep that’s the one! Thanks so much!
@@jamesharbinger1711 Yup, large hull! Glad it worked out! Let me know what you'll be making!

Anyone know how to rotate parts completely? I can only rotate parts either up or down, or left to right
Like if you wanted to angle it at 45 degrees? I don't know if you can rotate it minorly from when I was playing a bit ago!
@@ShadowcoastGaming I can literally only rotate parts 180 degrees
@@famosodangular7232 Hm, that's weird it should be 90 degrees - maybe check game files or wonder if there was an update that changed it?

any hotkey like copy and paste in building ships?
Not that I'm aware of unfortunately!

Any luck? I think it would be a CPU or RAM issue if anything.
