Space Engineers - S2E57 'Starting The Space Elevator' 

You can tell this is next gen gaming right now. Such an underated channel.

"I'm not good with wheeled elevators. I suck at it!" But...but...I came here because you figure out EVERYTHING! "Because this HAS to be a wheeled elevator, I'm going to HAVE to figure them out." Oh thank goodness!

Ngl, you’re brave for using the YEETevators. I tried them out in creative and unless you’re glued to the platform, you get launched skyward when the platform stops XD

I've been suffering the same level of freezes as you on my grand projects lately. One fix for me has been the following: 1. Download space engineers mod SDK from steam 2. Go to install folder and locate bin 64 cache folder 3. Find vrage.library.DLL 4. Copy this file and then go to your SE bin64 dir 5. Paste and overwrite the file in there My game runs smoother now after doing this N.b you need to recopy the file after every update our hotfix Hope it helps

You could use a gravity generator to stop your self from from being yeeted into space.

Alright serious question. I've been trying to build a space elevator for days now, using a pretty simple style. 4 single pillars connected at the base for stability. Independent mover as the elevator. First try, ran into PCU limit. Disabled that. Then hit a 'Grid's number of physical shapes is approaching limit" warning, and I couldn't place any more blocks because the top of the elevator stopped having physics, I could just fly through the blocks. Second try, simplified the design from 8 pillars to 4, and started at the top of a mountain to have a height advantage, and a smaller elevator. At roughly 20.99km from the base, ALMOST at 0.00 P-gravity, the game stops me from placing blocks on the top of the elevator. No warnings, stated pcu limits. No performance issues. The game simply won't let me place any higher. The block outlines stay red and just won't place down. Physics still work, and I can make other grids just fine. PLEASE, any ideas? Really sucks to spend so much time on a project and have the game stop working with no real definitive stated limitations, so I have no idea where to look for a solution.

You are probably going to have to disconnect the space elevator from the base before going up much more... that grid must be absolutely bonkers in its size!

Here an idea. Disconnect the grids armor grids. Have the resources flows through a timed connection using the resource tubes, e.g. extending and retracting the connections.

Awesome, I thought you would connect all 4 platforms to take ships up to space. Like a shipyard on the ground, and then deliver them to space.

Awesome on the space elevator design. Really awesome. Looking forward to seeing the ride up and down in real time when it is all set and done. :)

Nice.... why dont you connect all the elavator cart and make 1 big pladform so you can bring 1 bigger ship in the middel down or up

Yeah I really like the looks of this design for the initial grabber/strain relief for the early construction phases for what in real application will become basically a mechanical self building muscle all the way up topside!

What would happen if you conected your astroid base to your earth base?

The mega grid issue is why I break up towns into touching, but separated grids that are self powering (wind, sol, etc), and connected by connectors. Hook them up when you need them, leave them be when you don't, and have the master conveyor lines run below the road centerline.

35:34 thats actually a pretty close mirror to the appeal of a space elevator IRL, it would make space travel insanely easier and cheaper, with current estimates being reducing it from the current, roughyl $3500/lb, to about $25/lb

I've tried to build a tether before and at about 8km is where the physical block limits start to glitch (you can fly right through them). The tether was 3x3 width/length and took forever to build in creative so you will probably need to build it in multiple grids so as to not glitch through the "physical" blocks.

Maybe the game needs to have a way to turn certain sets of blocks into one item, like instead of have a 10x10 block wall, it could be combined into a wall block

XD I think your game is telling you to make smaller grids instead of trying to make planet sized grids XD

SUBORBITAL STAGING FACILITY thats what this is

I think it would help if you just would cut up the grids. Instead of having just one huge thing....and forget the 4 elevators 8km high. Just not gonna happen and don't have a slide show or freezes every time you place a block on the grid

Never considered the reactor core and how it could be built with the new DLC content. As for grid size, have you considered making "fire breaks" separating the grid into sections? Use connectors for the conveyor crossovers, maybe even have turned-off merge blocks there in case you need to rejoin sections in the future. Or just use them as a seamless edge-to-edge connection for the roads. Edit: As to the extra space below, how about a "space car rental" center? One or two dozen essentially identical small ships with atmo and ion drives? Plus a landing gear. Rent a car, atmo up to the elevator and lock down. Then ascend and at the top use ion to move out. Also, how are the elevators recharged? Maybe another pair of connectors?

To avoid the system tax of orbital elevators I'm trying to figure out an automated cargo drop system. A geosynchronous space station right on the edge of gravity, which automatically constructs a simple cargo drop-pod, and ejects it towards the planet precisely enough to be automatically collected and ground down on the far end. With a pair of automated shuttles to transport personnel up and down (as well as the rare occasions cargo needs to go up). Preliminary tests suggest it's workable but I'm really not up to scripting it, and the timers (and clean cargo pod release) are proving to be a pain in the neck.

High Point Space Elevator Hotel/Shipdock

Looks fantastic! I think it would have been better to weld the car onto the station with the welding pads in creative, make a blueprint and cut it loose after building it.

Challenge your self build a worker ship and build your orbital station in sections on the ground and move them into orbit with the elevator

17:36 to be fair to the game, that is a HUGE amount of processing its having to handle

pushing the limits of the game, great test to see how much you can build.

You when you said you were going to make 4 I thought that you have the car in the center and connect each one so that it could take a heavy load

This... elevator with wheels you are making... it sounds like it will explode from very angry Clang lol

Now that I have had the chance to play the game myself.. I have also had this freezing problem on a totally empty creative solar system world... there is one steam community post that mentions that there is a problem with ryzen 3000 cpu's with the current update but that was just one guy on the internet.. so take that info for what you will. On the other hand, breaking out the space elevator is still probably a good idea. :)

Such a shame space elevators are so impractical in the game. I was testing a tether one (So with conveyors) so you could move cargo up and down from orbit, but even just 4 kilometers up worth of building, the sim speed was down the drain. D: Was kind of sad about it, given the main menu even showcases a space elevator, so I assumed it was something the game could handle to some degree.

I learnt that the idea for this is to sling shot you at full speed into space hence the sudden stop, if you attempt it as your person and the. Attempt with a light ship

First of all love your videos second of all : I love stealing faction ship's and it depends how good the armor looks so I either put them in the grinder pit or I store them on earth

Might be time for you to start separating grids and using rotors or connectors to keep the conveyor systems intact.

Can’t you use the elevatorscript to Keep people/equipment go Flying off at the top?

Dope

one idear aganst the freezing, what will happend if u ,,cut,, the cyty out of the grid of th rest if the base=? just cut the street on block from each part? ould it help?

would a conveyor system work over such distances, even if not going into sapce but within the atmosphere(not that that should be the breaking point ^^)

I think you should go even higher to have less than 0.20g (or even 0.10g) so docking ships don't need to use more thrusters

Wow I'm early, hello! I love your satisfactory videos! And space engineers is amazing too! Keep it up!

Why don't you make an elevator to the moon. Like that you could transport items from 1 base to another. Just a fun idea

Another!? Hell yeah

Could I have that Space elevator blueprint? I could modify it so it could be a landing pad for larger ship for you

How do you make such straight tunmels?

Hey there i have a problem in SE, i have micro lags every ~3sec and our base is way smaller then yours. Its not an hardware problem because everything is running on 30% and we dont have any spikes there... We cant find any results maybe you have an idea

I love your vids and I am thinking of getting the game. Please understand I am clueless on how this game works. I would like to ask a question... can you attack your own base ?? I would love to make a base with defence and drones/fighters patrolling it and make it as tuff as I can at the time. Then on another planet try make a fleet and try to defeat it. Is that possible ?

what RAM you got running on your pc? cos if your streaming or doing recording stuff while playing the game you might want your RAM to be at least 64GB that's the highest recommended RAM size. playing the game without recording/streaming highest 32GB hence I'm running on 16GB RAM and not done anything crazily huge stuff yet but still running good. Space elevator is one of the tough design idea to come up with but will felt chuffed at the end once you've complete it ;) what I'd do with that elevator you've built, I lower them down into the ground to level the cars on the platform or redesign the cars that the wheels is higher up while the platform car is lower to the ground platform (if that makes sense)

Pls upload that to the workshop! that's awesome!

i really like this series, still working on my build for the city, but pls kanajashi let us know how you fitted the wheels onto the cars. and let's be honest, it's spelled Klang with a k

Forward: I have yet to watch the video. Head: Keen Breaks SE for Fun Body: I thought they made space elevators impossible by making blocks on a grid not physically register once it reaches a high enough pcu. Point: Is this a non-merged super-gridded work around?

No joke I had the idea with building an space elevator and putting ion ships that I stole from space pirates on it yesterday and im worried now that people think if I actually will make videos that I copied your ideas

Need to show keen the limitations of space engineers lol

How is your pc not on fire

Make it taller

Odd, I started watching this video while I was waiting for my game to unfreeze.

Hey man. I'm enjoying the content. Id like to join you in a multiplayer on either this or satisfactory. Kinda like splitsie and capac do

they realy need to make not that heavy so people can play with tons of mods without problems and lag the required specs for the game must be an 3ghz cpu and the min 2.5ghz

is this blueprint on the workshop?

Could someone post a link please to the piston script for the elevators I can’t find it and really badly need it

This might be of use to you for the cargo elevator to the surface. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1711861968 I'm contemplating installing it on a ship i'm in the process of building.

Hey, haven't watched your channel for a while. You raged quit MWO and MW5?

Them

auto welder building whitout welders... i need that mod please

Space elevator❗ The latest inventions that scientists today are designed is, to build a space elevator connecting Earth and space and this will lift the carriage of passengers and goods to outside the earth. The Quran has pointed to this innovation in the verse: (If you feel bitty for their objection, see if you can go in a tunnel inside the earth or reach the sky through a ladder) {al-anaam : 35 }

I can't use th m

Your game is about to die because of the scripts (build and repair block acquisition and assembler queuing). Make unpowered gliders (aerodynamic blocks) jump off the elevator for fun, make them peace doves!

I don’t want to be mean and I assume your doing this for fun but you have 1.2k videos and less than 25k subs. Maybe you could start having ideas to change to become better 😑
