Space Engineers Survival (Episode 36) - Upgrading the Sandstorm! [2024] 

Adding on another commenter's idea.. can you put in a controlled cargo umbilical from base to the "Snowstorm". Link the ship to base cargo, have a script on the bridges to extend and retract it to link to the ship, and detach for liftoff. Then have a launch script to launch/land in the exact spot it is now. You have a battle bridge (forward) and a Flag Bridge (Topside) Definitely a flat double railgun turret on the topside. Just a flat set of blocks for 180 degree elevation fore to aft, and 360 degree rotation. Have the sides just high enough so guns at zero elevation are hidden inside. Next episode.... far-side defense battery (back of base where Hydrogen storage is), Umbilical, Asteroid to ground mine transport? Love it!

Get the Sandstorm up and running. Then place it on a patrol over all your bases. Keep them skys friendly.

Very cool! I agree that the front design looks a lot better now, and the turret armor is wicked awesome! I also have two ideas for you, Andrew. 1- It would be satisfying to see you make a custom missile or rocket turret for the Snowstorm. Would love to see a new or different custom turret design. 2- Another idea would be to make a printer(similar to the decoy launcher you made in the 1 min, 10, 1 hour fighter build video) to print custom warheads with a bay door or launch tubes to deploy remote controlled warheads or something like that. That's a lot maybe, but would very entertaining to watch what you could come up with.

The front of the AMG Sandstorm looks really cool now. Agree with the idea of having some kind of umbilical between the base and the ship too.

Perhaps the Reavers are intimidated by the new Rail Gun Turrets and have called a conference amongst themselves to plan out the next attack. Since the Reavers don't seem to be too bright, it may take them a while to agree on a plan of action. New/Redesigned bridges are looking great. With the various Bridge Consoles installed, screens showing individual ammo type reserves would be neat. Those poor neglected Solar Array Towers... they so desperately wish to contribute to the base's power system. I can't tell, is that a bit of power trickling down the line, or their tears? The Sandstorm is now the Snowstorm. To keep with the "storm" theme, if your custom turrets can't seem to hit anything, rename them as Stormtroopers.

Dude these videos are so fun and chill to watch-I love seeing your thought process and listening to you talk through your decisions

Finally :) Did start watching your series a few days ago, catched up already - personally a bit borring by PAM setup, and checkups and correcting, etc. -> happy to see refitting of AMG Sandstorm :) Waiting for more! Hope you will improve its engine bay, add more internal turrets to prevent the hack ( ;) ) in the future and maybe some welders next to the critical components and engines? So it can auto-repair? With your automation skills and even controllers you could set the welders auto-on when detecting lock :)

I'm finally caught up to modern day. This series is very fun and I've been enjoying having it on a seperate screen while playing space engineers

I feel it necessary for the rail gun control room operators to protest about the bathroom being on the other side of the compound from their control station. In an emergency, they would have to run all the way over to the other turret whilst trying not to get shot. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

The bay windows would look good there 7:41

Ahem,you mean snowstorm?

All of the "Storm" class battleships would maybe have subtle differences on the original theme.

I love your series keep up the good work!

the new updated sandstorm will look awesome as ships get upgraded they always look different with new technology thats why they go mk 1 mk2 etc you really wantto see those rail guns fire lol great job but dont rush it then they dont look as good

I could see naming a whole bunch of ships as "The Storm Front" or "The Storm Fleet"

Cant wait for the next episode

Wait until he brings it to battle against the dangerous encounters

Need more of your song renditions

The ship is looking very good but with the new redesign on the right side the left side looks a little out of place. I think you should consider making them symmetrical on the outside.

I would love it if you did something like your 2021/Pertam series, where you just dropped the year from the title after 2022 rolled around.

Moar guns = moar good^^

For that area in front of the pilot console, do you have half height screens that can go under the windows and display ship functions?

I would love to see them add a symmetry option to the projector. Have it take a ship and add in a projection of the symmetrical blocks like it does in creative

If you sleep in those beds in the Sandstorm you'll suffocate eventually without a vent.

What you should have done was use heavy for the outer parameter (aka where a ship could hit) and anything else anywhere else

FFS, you can add a small head on a big hinge, like the rotors.

so cool

18:10 what about adding a symmetry mode for building using a projector block? like you place a block on one side and a projected block appears on the other?

They have the mirror mod. 18:13

Would you be able to set up an event controller to power up the railguns when the ai defense module acquires a target?

HEY!!! FISH ARE TASTY!!! And GOOD for you too!

please i beg you connect the ship to the main base storage PLEASE!!!

Finilly

U have projectors to see old sandstorm

You convinced me to buy the game. There was a deluxe edition for cheap on a site so i bought it. Now i have it, do you have any tips and tricks for me on the game, please? Also what adds the deluxe edition?

Short episode today... Can you make them 45 - 60 minutes please
