Space Engineers - How to Build Walkers Episode 1 

Time to build a weapon to surpass metal gear.

This is THE BEST space engineers video I've ever watched. Just screams quality. Widely informational, detailed and quite entertaining to watch at the same time. Explanations are extremely clear and yet not over-simplified. Just right on the spot. And the editing is over the top. All the cuts and transitions are right where they are supposed to be and all little details and "cinematic cutscenes" are just perfect *chef kiss* It's very sad that such topic is not widely popular on RU-vid, with the amount of effort this video probably has taken to make you sir deserve a bigger audience.

my guy, you are a literal genius: you've streamlined and updated possibly the most cohesive and applicable method for mechs into something even better. that is true innovation. Like the engineer from tf2, while more gun is a solution i've seen you use, like the engineer you also use your absolutely gigantic brain to find solutions to problems that lay in plain sight. It's absolutely clear your main strategy is Improvise. adapt. overcome. thank you black armor, for getting me into automation in SE.

15:00 YES!!! INDESTRUCTIBLE LANDING GEAR!! FINALLY! Thank you very much for this!

me watching full series knowing that i will never have enough motivation to build walker instead of rover: intresting...

I don’t even know what space engineers is yet I’m watching this like I’m bouta build a mech right after this.

I came into this not really expecting to even attempt to build a mech, I thought it would be too complicated but you absolutely nailed it with this guide. Explanations are as streamlined as they can be and and you even gave good tips for the design itself. Absolutely fantastic work , nothing else to say except bravo!

i havea feeling a lot more walkers will be on the workshop now with this guide. amazing work!

Holy crap a walker tutorial on the same month of my b-day? Sweet

Watching you build is so much more satisfying than building things myself!!

Some insane quality was put into this the intro alone easily proves this

Tv shows about robots made in real world applications don’t go this in depth with this quality. Very nice 👍

I'M SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS A TWO-PARTER! POG

I am slightly obsessed with that intro, the editing with the rhythm is absolute perfection. I would watch a full music video in that style.

Those spidermechs in the intro gave me very strong Supreme Commander vibes

Been wanting to build mechs for a while, so happy you're making a mini series for it.

Wanna say thnx to you, now i can use rotor displacement to "shrink" the rotors to minimal hit boxes.

I'd still love to be able to build a Gundam. With the new weapons it would be far easier to build a federation beam rifle.

Fuckin love compact information. Too many makers with more than half of their vids being fillers. Thank you.

That zoid is really cool

I had a chuckle when you mentioned inspiration. I realized I started playing space engineers when I saw your video with the vengeance bomber that got me interested in space engineers but the centurion battle mech made me download and start. I gave up hope rather quick because i couldmt even make a blocky ship fly. My first mech was a small backward knee biped that took me hours to make and barely worked because i over compensated everything on rotor settings. I had to spend almost a full day studying your mech tutorial world to understand since i kept trying to rush or make massive mechs. A few mechs later your titam jaeger came out and thats when I decided to make striker eureka from pacific rim. Ever since then ive made almost exclusively walkers In my worlds and ive made several jaegers. There have been times where I quit because they arent good for survival or i have no one to admire them but I constantly challenge myself to make bigger and better creations because i see your videos and it inspires me to keep building. I am so glad to have found your channel and hope to get better with every build. Side note: my biggest mech so far is 160 (400m i believe?) large grid blocks tall and based on the mech from avatar legend of kora

You're a total bro for making these tuts. Thank you so much! Also I think I like your mech factories almost as much as your mechs lol

I didn't even come here with an expectation that I'd want to build a walker, I just stayed because of how well organized and voiced the video was and appreciated the production value. Quality video, quality world, thank you for your dedication to the modding community.

Great work, as always.

The opening to this is exceptional dude, definitely demonstrates you know what you're talking about and also is badass enough to hook anyone watching; "I wanna drive one of those!"

Now that intro was just Fire

Glad to see you back.

3:06 the far right one is giving me *HEAVY* 40k Redemptor Dreadnought vibes

This was very well put together.

14:00 that tip is one of the best yet! I never thought about doing that mirror imaging. You sir have just saved me loads of time! Thankyou once again! Great videos!

That lightning saix though

i just wanted to point out this music sync at 8:14 Cheers for the help!

This was needed. Thank you👌

wooooooooo been waiting for this!!!

YES. I've wanted a tutorial on this from you for so long. Ever since I downloaded your tutorial map a couple years ago.

So much helpful. Loving your builds and explanations! You had such a great idea, thanks a lot!

Big thanks man! Fantastic work, I learned a lot just from this episode

best space engineers tutorial vid ive ever seen, amazing content!

The Titans of the Imperium shall walk AGAIN!!

That opening shot was crazy

Cool, this brought me back to years ago when I played on Machinecraft

This is a cinematic masterpiece! I cant get my head around how good this it 😂

The sound when they are walking is awesome: "Clang, Clang, Clang..."

really cool video! ill make sure to send it to my friend who always wants to play this game

Excellent video and I'm hoping to see more.

Interesting one. I've learned from this. Thanks.

the way that they walk looks so real

Fantastic!

This video is not just a guide, but a whole inspiration! (Same can be said about channel itself ^_^) Awesome stuff, thank you

You are a genius! Love your builds and and your channel.

Your builds are so good.great work😊inspires me.😊

Good work ingenieer!

verry good, it's great to know videos from you always show up with somthing absolutely worthwhile and amazing

It's insane what you can do with this game. Most people see space minecraft not all you can build metal gear simulator.

Finally a video on this ty

Omg i wanted to learn how to make fluent mech walking so bad! Can't wait for the next video to see the technical issues that goes into it. i really Appreciate someone finally explaining how mechs work and how to make one funtion in such away. Wish more content creators teach this

thank you very much!

Wish I saw this before I started making my mad cats. This just happened to pop up while I was editing my channel.. I was never able to download your world on Xbox so I had to figured it all out on my own but these new videos are extremely helpful and I might be able to make some adjustments. Nice to finally see you're working examples with commentary/context/instructions

Hella good channel, thank you for uploading content

Lovely video. Seeing this I would like to try out recreating some of the mechs from the Front Mission manga (and game). Lots of kickass designs that scream carnage

I loved Earthsiege in the 90's. Hercules yes, sir!

Was thinking about building one of these the other day.

Great job on this video!

Excellent video yet again. I'd love to see some of your creations used in Splitsie's Assertive bad guys.

I am so very hype I've been wanting to make my ships with walker landing legs

YES IVE BEEN WAITING ON A TUTORIAL ON THIS

wow.. Learned so much i didn't know from this lol

Thank you so much :D

damn son! i gotta build me a tachikoma when you're done with this series.

even with how stiff and wonkey they are its still so awesome that we can just slap together walkers by manually figuring out how to use the games physics and pistons, so cool.

9 years of SE and I didn't knew about the gyros for stability, I always used hover scripts or/and thrusters. Gonna try that. Thanks! 🤖💖

Awesome

0:09 Is that a Lightning Saix I see? Noice!

This is a very in detail tutorial and you did a great job leaving in a whole whallop of naunced information that most people wouldn't or couldn't bother explaining. The animation background in the back of my mind does nag at me wishing you would mention more about the complexity of walk cycles and the entire concept of any shape of grid's center of mass. which I will admit is probably not suitable for a first episode, but it definitely makes me look forward to your next episode. Keep up the good work BA. B)

Brilliant :D

Those are very intimidating

impressive!

OMG Here we go! 😘

This update to the previous tutorial will be great!

Return of the ancient one

thank you

Great video ! Now I want to do a mech-Sauron =D

Hello! Thank you!!

WALKER POG

OMG u made the walker from Boylei Hobby Time! That's so cool!!!!!

Thanks:)

I'd like to see you build a walker that uses in-line walking motion, but can use sweeping motion for strafing, turning, etc, like a more realistic hip. Ideally a biped or quadruped design

Seeing the Berserk Fury gives me hope for a Liger Zero

Oh, regarding leg design, I actually know of two mechs in science fiction that use bipedal swing legs The first one is the Castaferrum-pattern Dreadnought from Warhammer 40,000. You know, the boxy, stout one that everyone thinks of when you say "space marine dreadnought". The second is the Granite Grinder from LEGO Rock Raiders. One shared design element with these two mechs is that they have very large, wide feet.

Thx 4 hinge negative orientation bro

things evolved a lot from when i first tried (2014), lol... :) There were no timers, no command blocks no sheet... just using the rotor strength options and gyros to "move" the legs that clamped and declamped using the "detach strength"... it was a mess :D and of course they worked only in space on the platforms :) You did a way better job then i did back then dude :)

great channel, genuinely impressed by the quality would love to engineer with you!

Next video when please as I really would love to know how to make it walk also amazing vid love you vids

We some kind of space engineers leg part or walker device that makes walkers practical

Oh HELL yes.

14:10 is kinda genius :D

If Blackarmor can't make feet work without breaking away, that means it is impossible to make them. Also, I've waited on this video for a long time. King is back :)

You had me at leaving your buddy to get crushed by mech parts.

Nice I wish I could build like that I’m gonna try to get to ur level

The time has come, on the legs.
