Space Engineers Tutorial - Starting on Servers Quickly and Keeping the Pod [1] 

i always get the blue cobalt like only that ;-;

Isn't adding a building plan RMB with the welder?

Thank you Heisenberg

@@meestuinier4486 Yes, as Endar shows @ around the 8 minute mark.

@@unclegreybeard3969 was reacting to Walters comment where he stated it was with LMB :)

I always took one from back and one bottom

Same here Daz! Really grateful for this practical set of toys for a quick start, which still keeps the engineering work in place so it's not breaking the experience, just a more practical start so you can be quickly on your way to your next engineering adventures! 😁👍

you can also use the 100 steel plates above the function line from the gyro ;)

Yeah I play on Alehouse and thats the case there I'll mention it in part 2

@@endar949 You already mentioned "specific blocks" in this one, that should suffice, and the space pod doesn't start with a beacon so there's the clue suggesting that this is not one of those servers.

That’s not a thing for official servers

Holy shit

L lol

And everyone clapped

You're a menace to society😂😂

Glad it was helpful!

i second this! i thought the build planner trick was just to use it--which i only figured out yesterday, haha--but this trick makes it all the more useful

Cool tip, 2000 hours in and still learning stuff. Thanks!

Building merge blocks takes less time

You can place 100 steel armor frames before you can gather the materials to build 2 merge blocks

Guess I should have read comments before I basically said the same thing

SoonTM

Thank you! Glad it helped you and hopefully others too! And yeah. while planet starts aren't usually the most practical, they can still be fun and thanks to a guy in my faction I know for a fact that they can last for a long time if they are hidden in the right place, so I'll certainly do a planet start tutorial at some point.

Glad I could help!

My issue right now is that I cannot find gold😭

Build drills for temporary storage until you find Cobalt.

@@chriseash6497 too much weight and only good for ore. Try connectors

@@chriseash6497 or build small grid cargo held on by connectors

SUS?

@@auxencefromont1989 Strong Unknown Signal AKA "Hey, I'm the server and you look lonely, so lemme just put a marker down so that everybody who's logged in can see where you are!" The SUS spawns a couple dozen kilometers from the targeted player, but people can save the SUS coordinates and given enough time they'll eventually have three or more coordinates that they can use to pinpoint your location. In my case, i was far away from any of the planets and should've been alone out there, but I'd already had one SUS show up close to me and had started to build a ship so I could get out of there. Then a second SUS shows up on the opposite side of my base from the first one, but that was fine because the ship was coming along nicely. Then after a couple of hours this *third* SUS shows up and it's kinda close, but too far out be aimed at me (~63km). And then it hit me. The previous two signals were on the opposite sides of my base. They were close enough to obviously have been targeted at me, but still at about what I thought was the maximum distance a SUS could spawn from a player was (~50km). Which meant that if another player who was logging signals took those two signals and drew a Venn diagram around them, the overlapping space would be pretty small. And if you have a 3D cad program or some math skills, you can easily calculate a GPS position right in that in-between space. Which meant that the *third* SUS that was too far out to be aimed at me must've been aimed at another player who might've been as close as 13km away from my asteroid station. So I tore the station off of the asteroid and used the still-attached partially-built ship to GTFO. Then I nearly lost everything anyway because while I was accelerating away from the "danger zone", an asteroid cluster spawned in directly in the station's path, and the inertia of my three fully loaded large cargo containers and processing equipment meant that even though I turned the station sideways and set the main thrusters to full power override as soon as I spotted the cluster, I only missed it by ~400m. Again, I wasn't actually *at* top speed yet when the cluster spawned, I was just _slooowly_ creeping past ~70m/s. It more or less meant that my station had a maximum safe speed of like 75 or something because of how long it took to change course with that payload and thruster setup. Anyway, I didn't get caught, and I eventually upgraded the ship with more thrusters so that it'd do a better job at being a space tug, and fitted the station with a jumpdrive. And then I think my stuff was auto-deleted while I was on holiday. You live and you learn.

This was a great story, this is what I love and hate about SE

Go into the ships's terminal, then go to the info tab and click 'Convert to Ship' at the bottom right

I like starting on the ice planet. Plenty of hydrogen fuel, and it has breathable air

Double check the conveyor ports are aligned and there's a conveyor path from the assembler to the materials. If any functional blocks with conveyors or conveyors themselves are damaged, they won't be able to transfer items, so check with a welder. Other than that, I have no idea what could be causing your problem, if that doesn't work let me know

The ship's thrusters are powered by energy from the batteries, hydrogen shouldn't be a problem as you can just respawn and get a full jetpack.

Ship error? Never heard that one before

Aye aye

Use the merge block trick or place a big stick of unwelded armour blocks with more blocks than the ship itself then chop it off then the stick, that will make the ship a new, permanent grid. Some servers have a beacon policy where ships get deleted if they have no beacon so remember that too.

Like 2 or 3 years ago

Building it unlocks a lot of stuff in the progression tree including the control seat which we need to unlock the drill.

@@endar949 Ah its been ages since I played. Progression is a new thing to me.

GTX 830 Avonn. I want a mechanical keyboard tho

thanks, but unfortunately i'm changing it to my boi anomalocaris

That's true. When they added survival kits, they made stone useful for early game

Yoooo will do

Hello there
