Gravity != Atmosphere | Space Engineers: A Scavengers Life Episode 25  

Also would love to hop in and help decorate!

Now that I'm finally caught up on this series, first off, I want to say you're doing great. The ship designs look fantastic and your knowledge level is steadily growing. Second, the reason I dropped back to this video to comment was advice on the use of merge blocks and how to combine inventories when you link. Your idea for the drop tank was solid, but you missed 2 important things. 1) You didn't let it fill up all the way, which would have given you a ton of extra thrust. 2) If you place a connector next to your merge block, you gain control over the systems on that second grid, like the drop tank and boosters you made, plus you can move things between their inventories. This is useful for more quickly filling external hydrogen tanks, like what you had, as well as allowing you to carry extra storage space, kind of like a trailer, on your mining rig, without that extra storage making it more awkward to move around an asteroid that you are mining. Just fly over, disconnect from the trailer, dig until you fill your miner's inventory, then reconnect long enough to transfer all the materials into the trailer. Rinse and repeat until everything is full, and you get to save lots of travel time and have a more maneuverable mining ship. Another use of this I have seen, which you might consider for later on is having a pair of smaller craft, like a miner and a constructor function as the main propulsion of a larger vessel, which would let you save weight and space, which in turn saves fuel. Just some thoughts I had. If you want more info on how to rig any of those, I can try to find the video that I got the idea from. It was one of Capt Shack's playthroughs. Have a great day and keep up the good work.

nice job and Welcome Home

I've takn a page from your book. and we started doing our large recording sessions in 30 ish minute chunks, and then just leaving them uncut. Liking the raw format.

Also for planetary escape. if you utilize thrust override you can keep your ship hovering at near top speed, and spend way less fuel than wide open throttle.

You made it nice 👍

The sub grid thrusters look awesome, but ya need a script to use them. 🤔 a stream night to help decorate the station, Awesome idea . Keep up the good work

My first space ship tutorial needed 🤔😗

3:30 with event controller you can set it to Power output % (Update 9hr later, after looking at the event block even better Thrust %) find/label the forward thruster set % greater or less than, set action, go + or - your set limit then boom action 1 and 2 happen may need use of timers to off set so its not going on and off but there is the option if set up right it should fold and unfold based on power output % also use whiplashe141 sub-grid script: Whip's Sub-grid Thruster Manager also SWCS | Whip's Sub-grid Wheel Control Script my need to go over the guides and play with some settings but these allow you to use your wheels and thrusters like normal-ish (KLANG WARNING) put PB(Programable Block) on tool bar for on off and all thrusters that are sub grid in a group to turn off/on

btw there is a script you can use to control wheel and thrusters from a sub grid so you could use the Ion's on hinges and if you wanted a playmate im in

New player here, did not know you could grow food......

32:00 drop the extra weight

so you can not control ant thing that is a sub grid ie thrusters and wheels that are attached to a piston hinge or rotor that dont have a contol point that you control like seat remote if they are placed on said sub grid they will give damping anyhow hence the info on the mod from Wiplash141 2 dif mods one for wheels and one for thrusters Whip's Sub-grid Thruster Manager also SWCS | Whip's Sub-grid Wheel Control Script ALSO you can not project any sub grid builds ie you got s ship you got cargo doors want to build it with a BP(blueprint) you every thing except from the hinge part out you must add that every time or get crafty ALSO merge block will make 2 grids 1 if ANY block that touches another that can normally bet placed there merge to merge will make all blocks that touch link as one if you dont want that then you need space that nothing else can touch any other block once set all you need to do is NAME the merge block that is ship and cargo/other set to tool bar set on/off
