How YOU can break physics in Space Engineers 

The next video is going to be on the best mods for Space Engineers, if you have any suggestions please let me know!

Zero: you ready? Striker: no Zero: cute, you thought you had a choice

Essentially, you have in-system planet to planet hyperlanes.

You can do better. Using a railgun-like setup you can set a seemingly harmless 1 block wide area to launch anything with mass that touches it at near light speed away.

Saw your video on the gravity drive a few days ago, and I just built a next-gen Corvette with gravity drives installed. Very efficient compared to my previous thruster blocks. Thanks for the great ideas!

@3:00 The ship should be placed where the mass blocks are 15 blocks below the gravity generators - that way they will be accelerated the full 30-block height of the device's range, instead of from the surface to 15 blocks above.

using this gravity rings, i think you can not only acceleraty your ship, but also slow it down. How about building some gravity rings which launches ship from orbit of one planet, to another, right to the center of the another system of rings, which is used to reduce the speed of the ship? Shame that my laptop cant handle space engineers, i would love to try to build this thing.

okay while gravity drives where a pretty old concept I really like the gravity rings you came up with ^-^

Imagine a space-highway using those rings

Gravity drives are so old now but still work. Really easy to make too.

Glad to see someone else stubble upon the gate system. On a server I used to play on before planets existed in the game it was a heavily modded server in the matter that it was testing out a multiplayer mod that allowed the game to surpass it's usual problems when many people were on one server. I think at it's height we had over 300 players. Idk, we had 40 in the group I ran with on the server and without the limitations of many of the games simulation issues we were able to build a ship large enough that we turned into 3 bickering factions and almost never saw one another because it took too much time to get to the middle point let alone any end point. Main point of this. When unlimited asteroids were added to the game those of us who had escaped the spawn hell (spawn was littered with ship debris from wars fought, newbies spawning in and being attacked on site. Fun chaos if you wish to hear the tales I can tell) where there was no asteroids so that they could travel around. Also wanted people to be able to travel between the new places being built too as jump drives didn't exist and the ship tug cheat warp drive that we built could only be used by very large ships and was temperamental at best. So we created the gate network, being fans of stargate we called it that and that we coded the coordinates for gate stations to be able to lock onto existing networks with chevrons. The gate system used a main launch platform that you would fly a small ship into or a pod into (pods were connection to larger ships via an arm). Connecting these main stations were multiple acceleration rings that would connect a chain of antennas together so that you could communicate across a wide network. How it worked was back in the day if anything passed thru a gravity field it could break the speed limit of the game. If you connected a landing gear to a stone then this would allow ships to break the games speed limit too. So for a large ship it would either have a pod designed into it's structure or if it was with our group one would be attached. The pod connected by an arm to the ship would sit in the center of the gate station and a signal would be sent down the line to all rings and the next stations till your destination to confirm that the configuration was set up and there were no known blockages. Once that was done the gravity generators would turn on going the direction required on the station and rings and your ship would be launched faster than the speed limit allowing for very quick travel. Once you began to reach your destination the rings and gate station would have a gravity cradle that slowed down the speed you were coming in and then stopped you in the gate station so you didn't have to do any work. We made this for anyone on the server to use as long as they used it properly. Of course many stations would be attacked, thou we did find out the only way to sabotage someone in travel was to change the rings or stations. If you parked a ship in the line between the rings the ship passing thru would take some bad damage but they wouldn't stop and you wouldn't exist anymore. Players dedicated there entire time to maintain and run many of the stations. Once jump drives came out the gate stations were abandoned by almost everyone especially since the old exploit no longer worked. Some few still used it similar to what you showed here. Tug drive still works quite well, maybe more dangerous, but that one is a faction secret. And most servers can not handle it being used most of the time.

5:08 With a good scope, you could still see his ship going at a marginal percentage of the speed of light, heading out into the big empty. The best, longest funeral in the history of mankind - The Expanse

I've been wanting to make launch tubes on a carrier type ship for a long time, now I know how!

Hello! Reminder, Grav-Railgun. That is all.

For increased effect, use spherical grav gens. As long as it's symmetrical, you'll get the same directional pull as with regular ones.

Poor Striker, I hope someone picks him up!

With how entertaining these videos are and how well edited they are, I excited this channel to be in the several hundred thousand subscriber range. It’s a crime that you have so few subscribers.

Strap several of these things together and you've essentially invented a miniature halo ring. Or a super railgun.

2:48 dude i was eating when you pulled out the pistol. XD rip my keyboard i guess.

There's another type of troll physics trick of sorts aside from gravity generators. If you build a airtight hanger door, extend it, grind it down to just below the functional line, then stand on it and reweld it the moment the door becomes functional again the extending part will instantly re-appear and throw your character at extreme velocity. I discovered it by accident when i was trying to fix a damaged door on one of my ships and i got firmly planted into the roof of the ship hanger.

I Experimented With Gravitation genarators And i Made some pretty cool guns They are extremly strong and they also have Infinite range witch makes it hard to See a Shot of them

Man I remember building my first mass driver it was so fun having such a device back in the day

Those gravity rings, if turned into tubes, can be used as a way overboard replacement for jump drives on short ranges if lined up propperly. You just need to have some sensors and opposite way gravity generators to catch the ship incoming

I actually laughed out loud when you pointed the pistol at Striker.

Thanks for an idea of "Planetary booster" For my base.

I love the Gravity Ring Booster Concept. Im going to super implement that into my game

The moon gravity launchers would be great for escape pods from a lunar base

0:46 clarification: gravity generators only stop working beyond 1g of planetary gravity, anywhere below that and they just have a % reduction

I would be interested to see a version of this that can get you off Earth or a gravity ring in low orbit to help complete takeoff from the planet.

Time to make gravity based warp gates.

Legends say Striker is still missing till this Day

Striker 😭 Nooooo

alternate title: "How to mess with space and time in Space Engineer physic"

Oh man, i'm gonna use this for interstellar travel.

this is a very good way to get cargo off and on planets

Nice video! Thanks for this idea! I will try to make this in my world)))

Legend has it that striker is still out there to this very day

What if: A railgun setup, shoots through (I dont know) 5 to 10!!! gravity rings... You can kiss a.u. speeds goodbye and say hello to F.T.L. with a tiny fraction of the cost of resources

Imagine 9 of those lined up

I use extreme gravity drives to power my capital ships, because it's just not feasible to maneuver around with a measly 0.1g's of acceleration in any given direction. When your ship weighs in at tens of thousands of tons, gravity drives are life savers

You gave me ideas how to accelerate and stop in no speed limit mod ;)

Legend Says Striker Is Still Floqing Through Space, To This Day....

“Thinking with portals”

Noo striker I hope you gave him a pack lunch?

Imagine not linking Gravity rings together for faster interstellar warping.

Now can you do that with . . . a single Space Ball? Show to masses the power of the Space Ball mha ha ha he ho

So what your saying is we should, IN THEORY, be able to make effective Mass Relays in Space Engineers

I was trying this out right next to my space ship and it shot right threw it like a missle

Ooh I'm going to make a player launcher

Jump gates possible now?

so basically the definition of YEET

I have done this by copying pasting the generator it made a black hole

Hmmmm try getting a massive load of stone and make an asteroid gun by ejecting the stone thru a connector then thru a gravity ring, And orbital bombardment just got nasty.

any tricks on leaving earth or alien planets besides hydrogen ?

I have actually made a bigger ring setup which produces up to 400g at its focal point, spanning at about 100 meters, it boosts a ship with an AG anchor up to about 2-3 km/s...

Wouldn't that amount of acceleration turn an engineer into a space suit full of chunky stew?

Just put 2 pistons on the same grid with merge blocks and eventually it will hit light speed at some random point. Been a thing with this games "amazing engine" since 2015

They do work in atmospheres.

Maybe gravity ring could have been more efficient if it turned off at right moment, perhaps some way to detect a ship and turn on for a very short amount of time, enough to accelerate the vehicle, and then turn off to prevent deacceleration

what would happen if one were to mod a Gravity generator to have more then 1G of power would that let you escape earthlike's field?

Out of curiosity... Can you build a ship with a hollow in it. Build a mass in the center of the hollow using gyros and mass blocks with a cockpit and antenna. On the ship surrounding it place an antenna and remote control block and surround the void in the ship with gravity gens. Goal... Fly the big ship by moving the mass in the cavity within

Please how do you make the gravity ring

Vegeta *breathes heavily*

build a railgun out of these

This is awesome. What’s dangerous in space, gravity being pulled. Uses this to create movement. What else equals cancels out gravity but gravity. NASA or Musk. Pick one help them out. Saalute. Nice

Was this done with or without the vanilla speed limit?

Blaststrike: help

Only way to fly a 5300000000kg cargo ship

What mod do you use that turns the speed limit off

poor striker

This creation it's a perfect example of a Stargate.

Can you send link to speed mode?? thx

So wait, it doesn't work on planets? Even with the number of gravity generators you had on the moon? I was thinking this would be a very efficient way to get things out of the planet's gravity.

So that can be achieved on PC only right?

Does your 1000m\s mod break the game? Is it worth getting? Or is it just for buggy fun?

Was Striker ever saved?

someone create a weapon with gravity gens

Make a rail gun witb this technology

im in space.

Wait...I thought they fixed that bug? Well that kinda sucks.

Theres any workshop item of that?

Is this real Mass Effect?

I mean to be fair, when u said 15000g would accelerate u 15000m/s u weren't that wrong about the acceleration, just the amount of g's

This is vanilla speed limit? 100m/s default?

i am just gonna ask you to go get striker out of this "sticky" situation or else you are going to find out what 9 megaton ship hitting you at 1 km/s feels like >:(

help

Hang on, the thumbnail's off by a factor of ten? In the *best* way, mind. 15,000% is only 150G. It should be 150,000%. :D
