Deimos throwing some couches into a cargo bay and calling it a living auarters is such a deimos thing to do tho tbh so its on brand

i think for the most part, "living quarters" are the R&R relaxation habs, while all in one berths are the actual bedrooms. this has been my experience so far

I wish they'd give us an option to build out the interior.

@ 7:00 I just made this habit last night and can confirm that the pool table stays. It kinda blocks the door a little bit but it's just a tight squeeze to the left to get by.

HopeTechs living quarters is just the closest soon-to-be abandoned farm.

Taiyo looks like when your friends offload the first wave of stuff off the removal van into your new place. Bare minimum furniture before finding where the power outlets are.

Both prenunciations are corect based on acent and location

For the record, putting an entry in the Nova Living Quarters between the far bed and that couch/seating area around the TV, DOES in fact remove the couch and basically everything but the TV itself

And once again Nova has the best and most welcoming interior design. I like the layout and amenities of the Taiyo hab... but it needs less cargo laying around and more entertainment.

I have 2 ships that took me hours to put together. This was just the habs along with a lot of rewinding and rewatching all of your videos. The only thing I struggle with is perspective of direction like looking at writing in a mirror. That’s on me though which doesn’t take to long to correct. Yet now when starting from scratch I use the windows to mark where I want to enter while watching through your videos. Once you get through all of the hab walkthroughs I’m going to download each video. I really hope you become big on RU-vid if that’s what you want to happen. Either way thank you for the videos. Not only are they very informative they are put together well you are also very well spoken your voice is at least to me soothing. Keep up the great videos.

a substancial amount of my game time goes into swapping out habs and planning the layout to make sure my crew have the proper amount of beds and toilets

Great job once again friend! And congrats on the new subscribers, I remember subscribing to you just a few days ago when you were below 1k haha. Keep it up! Greetings from the Netherlands

7:08 I can confirm that you do not lose the pool table coming in on the side closest to where the rack is located (the triangle that you sort the pool balls in for those unfamiliar). It does leave the table almost in the way, though; but, that is fine by me if I get to keep it.

It seems the Living Quarters are more like Living Rooms and less like Bedrooms, all of them barely have any Beds but the All-in-One Berths always have at least one or two Beds

I find it highly ironic that Taiyo is supposed to be a luxury shipbuilder, but their hab interiors are exactly identical to HopeTech's, aside from lighting... About the best thing that can be said for the Taiyo 2x2 All In One is that with the ability to decorate your ship's interior after the May update, it should be super easy to customize the Taiyo 2x2 if you don't feel like just going for a completely empty hab. Also, I can confirm that end or side passages DO delete the Nova Galactic corner bathrooms: For the longest time, I was convinced that none of the Nova Galactic berthing or living quarters habs even HAD bahtrooms due to connecting most of my habs in a linear manner, which nukes said bathrooms.

This vide made me wanna try stuff out and I found a neat addition. The wall in the nova living quarters at like 5:50 has a whole weight bench with bar when there isn't a ladder there.

One detail I noticed is, I think Taiyo is probably meant as luxury not in the sense that it has luxury accommodations, so much as it looks like it's supposed to be the "supercar" of space (as opposed to the yacht of space). Generally-speaking, the lighting and coloration of Taiyo and Deimos mostly seem to line up great (making them good for mixing), with the exception of I think the 3x3 cargo hold, which in general seems darker lit. Admittedly I probably wouldn't have noticed this if said cargo hold wasn't basically my ships entrance from the ground.

finaly a content creator took into account that connection points and ladders alter the interiors! great job man i had to go through 30 BS videos that didnt help until i came across yours which that shows us what we actualy need to see

The point of the A vs B in the Taiyo models is that the A series has no side connects. So you can force front to back separation with Taiyo mods. Stroud has a 1x1 with no front or back doors so you can force side to side connections with that.

I'm fine with no bed btw, because I add it with all in one 4beds next to living quarters. So this is basically just a living room for crews to mingle (and mess hall in the back as cafeteria)

I swear I heard a character in-game say "day-mose". I'll certainly check out their own shipyard and listen next time. Although, there are also a couple of in-game variations of Ryujin's pronunciation, too, so it's possible not everyone in the game knows exact pronunciation. Much like oddly named companies in real life--I remember Hyundai did an entire Superbowl commercial one year on its pronunciation: "It's Hyundai, like Sunday." However, the guys in the Deimos shipyard probably know how to say their own company name.

I will defend your point that Taiyo top/mid/bottom all are the same. However All in One A/B do have slight variations. A has a clean brand new vibe, where B feels more... lived in. Overall I'm enjoying your tours, and appreciate you for taking the time to do them.

I like the nova 2x2 living quarters with the 2x1 deimos all in one to give some extra beds (one was removed from a doorway)

Are you also going to do the 3x1 engineering habs? I hope that bgs eventually makes the type of hab effect the stats of our ships, ex: cargo adds cargo, engineering performance and so on. Along with allowing us to choose between the habs we currently have or empty ones that we can fully design the inside of from scratch but both current or empty can be designed and decorated like homes and outposts. Also the time stamps on the bar is working for me on both mobile and my Xbox.

5:53 you actually lose bench for bench press exercise and I saw Andreya doing bench press or just laying there probably between repetitions, so it's nice to have it. Found it accidentally, by the way. Thank you a lot for all the videos - titanic work and before it I never thought it's removing parts of interiors depends on connections and windows, now I made my dream build with slight modifications of my current one. Without your videos I wouldn't reach such level of coziness and perfection in the interior. Thank you sir, appreciate your work, the time you spent and your attention to details!

I caught Barret pumping iron just today. Pretty cool.

In the Nova 2x2 Living, your entry point nukes a full weight bench that is quite nice. If you fly around with a ship for a mission, save and fully quit the game. Then reload and it often triggers the game to truly decorate. You know it’s been triggered when the Taiyo Captains quarters gets plushies added to the bed. Would be cool if you made a “best of” and showed before and after full decoration mode triggers.

"It's get stuffy with 4 people in there" My brother, on a US Navy ship that'd be a 6 man berth at least... and you'd hope it isn't right by the trash chute.

LOL at the Deimos pronunciation intro. Looks like you're fighting the same fight at the Final Fantasy 7 guys that pronounced Mako as "may-ko" when the game says "mah-ko". LOL. I personally like the Deimos one because it has the two tiny rooms that wound up being perfect for entries from my landing bay and docking port.

shoutout to this video for letting me know that one roof porthole was keeping me from having a POOL TABLE IN MY SHIP

Deimos and Stroud have beds, they are just folded up in the room to the left of the dining table. Two blocks with a handle to pull out, and those are the beds.

It would take more work but you could test some of these theories about what gets deleted when adding connections

Can you make a video on how to force ladders and doorways cause as of now I have no clue and it seems very random where the game decides to put the ladders

Getting really stress with this 2x2 stuff now. I’m lvl 60, with max skills on starship design and piloting but STILL haven’t unlocked 2x2 Deimos living quarters under the HABS tab - or much else for that matter. Anyone know where I’m going wrong here / what I’m missing??

Those living quarters with no beds are more like crew lounges, so maybe put one or two of the 2x1 habs with 4 bunks off of that. Sometimes I used a 2x1 living quarters next to a 2x1 crew quarters just because of that.

I hate that he has too, but I love the righteous annoyance in his tone at the begining

Since you are doing this for educational purposes, you should run the command code or get a mod that removes building restrictions. Would make it easier for you!

Hopetech interiors are definitely my favorite. Wish they were a bit more fleshed out.

I just wish that they did like the Sims where I can just see down with the roof open so I can see what I'm going to lose when putting doors and hallways

Would really like to be able to do a walk through before confirming build and also when purchasing ships

I'm now imagining a crew member getting up first thing, groggy from sleeping in those uncomfortable looking cots and spending the night in other peoples' snoring and farting, tripping over the table braces some idiot left bolted to the floor and taking a header down to ladderway.

7:08 the pool table gets removed when adding a skylight above it :( and where the ladder is there is extra gym equipment

In nova yes you do loose the pool table if a door is there, leaves a big empty space too.

Time stamps are a little off, you have Deimos ending at 4:49 when it really ends at 5:26. Rest are fine though. Nice video, your comparisons are quite nice with a good analysis of where to try and put things. Now we just need someone to give up control of where the doors go.

There's a third option to this pronunciation debate: DAY-mos. Personally I think that sounds best but even NPC's in the game pronounce it differently. Something that would be very helpful throughout these hab tours would be reminders about which direction that you're facing, front or rear. The interior layout doesn't ever flip or rotate so the only indicator of the orientation of the layout is whether we're looking towards the front or back of the ship. Helpful and informative content. Thank you!

Nova 2x2 - large bulkhead door/large end window removes the pool table, small side door/side window does not remove the pool table...

All in all, Deimos and Nova Galactic look the best with everything. Also their other modules.

This is why I like the 3x2 (?) galley as it has all the goodies in one go. Then I attach the crew quarters on both sides so that one connects where the separated entertainment area is and the other where the galley's separated storage area is. I prefer Hopetech for the less 'white' environment as it gets WAY too bright for me. I just wish you could get all the parts you unlock everywhere. :/

I can confirm that it takes away the pool table if there’s a door remotely close to it, idk about port windows though

25 Years in the making ❤ 😅

1:06 you are correct, "dee-mos" is the closest to the original greek pronunciation of "δειμος" since "ει" is a long "ee" sound in greek. Closer than "day-mos" or "dai-mos" at least.

As far as I am aware, your new pronunciation of Daimos is the correct one. They are named after the Mars moon Daimos which comes I believe from latin and they do kind of… stretch it.

I wish they had the taiyo one in the hope tech colours. It seems like an oversight.

I have like 12+ beds, so I think the stroud will do fine. Though I do like the fancy tv couch area on the nova.

The port hole window cancels out the pool table in case y’all haven’t had that issue like me

The racks reminds me of field beds - You sleep decent on them.

I wish Stroud-Eklund had at least gone all out with the luxury aspect like that casino space station. The captains cabin has a stretcher for a bed! 😂 It’s so terrible!

Could you use another staryard or your own landing platform for your showcases, the background noise is a little loud…thx:)

I feel like they say daymos, but I'm gonna check it again

Zero Grav pool table...that could get interesting, heh!

I feel like Nova Galactic has better interiors overall..

i held my self back last time but i cant. They THICC boi they THICC.. thanks for the showcase sir. pretend i didnt.... just didnt go there, im silly. thanks again for helping me with my list of parts to use.

It’d probably make you go schizo but I’d be curious to see different “messed up” interiors, like if you want a science lab 2x1 and a Nova A.I.O A but don’t want two research stations so you purposely doorway it out

I want my pool table!!

Ive seen an npc benchpressing on mars but never seen crew do it on ship

I don’t know if it’s on the do to list but I wouldn’t Beth doing another once over of some of these to fix up the minor issues

The pronunciation in game is actually completely varied depending on which NPC is speaking. Die-Mōs, Die-Moss, Day-Mōs, Day-Moss. It could be argued that it's a regional thing or whatever but as they're all on the same space station, I think more likely it's something in a lot of sci-fi and fantasy games or stories: they simply didn't have a pronunciation handbook for the VAs to all be consistent. Or it could be sort of a nod to Stargate SG-1, where they just dive head first into the joke of everyone pronouncing things completely different even in the same scene, with the Goa'uld (Go-ah-oold, Ghould) and Adria (Aid-ree-uh, Add-ree-uh) being the most notable cases. Pick whichever you like.

'Friends'? Dude, I remember 'The Girl from U.N.C.L.E.'

It's very interesting on the Deimos pronunciation because if you Google it the American is pronounced "dee -mows" and the British is "day - mos" neither sound like how they pronounce it in the game TBH.

I really wish the larger habs actually gave you some benefit, instead of being extra weight just for RP/decoration. Cargo, stations, passenger slots, something

Nova front entrance, porthole, or skylight deletes the pool table

"...... otherwise I hate it" hahahaha

The Taiyo bottoms / tops would be cool if they didn't have entry points in the bottom / top. That way you could make sure you didn't have ladders in places you didn't want. Why does nova have most of the best habs designs

It's dee-mos/day-mos in American/British pronunciation. However in Greek it's thee-mos 🤷‍♀️ that being said I'm American and I was taught the pronunciation of day-mos it's just like many other words and names that are pronounced differently around the world when they all mean the same thing.

My problem with the berths and the living quarters is they're too multipurpose, I want my berths to have beds and my living quarters to have relaxing spaces and cooking facilities, I don't need 2 galleys because I have both berths and living quarters and I don't need berths that the 2 whole beds it has get wiped out if I put a door in the wrong spot. I love the ship builder and I love all the ships folk have shared, but I'd like a little more control over door and ladder placement and actual specialized habs. And if the Cpt. Quarters isn't adding passenger slots, stop having them sleep there dang it!

Hey man you're doing a great job people will complain regardless just because they can. Your thorough and not nearly as obnoxious as some of the other people doing this topic. Wouldnt have any other way. Keep it up.

It saddens me greatly there is no mess hall 2x2

You should delete your shader cache so your graphics don’t flicker so much. That’s the cure for the shadows issue.

There is no entrance into nova that doesn't lose something nice

9:05 It's a pork chop.

RU-vid let a bug go for 2 years and still ignores it? Shocking!🤣🤣🤣

Not to pile on but Deimos is a moon of Mars and has always been pronounced DEE-mows. Why Bethesda has them pronounce DIE-mows, I have no idea. Maybe the Dev team was unaware how it was pronounced. In game, I'm just gonna chalk it up to language creep over the years.

Deimos/ DIEmos.. go with your gut.. 😂

Wait everyone is hearing deimos as dee-mos, you say it's die-mos. Am I the only one that hears it as day-mos?

Most Englush dictionaries and text to speech apps pronounce the word Dee-mos. But this is an English pronunciation rule. If you use German, whenever two vowels are sounded, generally the second vowel is more heavily pronounced. That is why the German word for no, "Nein" is pronounced as English speakers would pronounce the word "nine" with the "i" sound predominant. This would make Deimos pronounced Di-mos, with the i being used over the e. Language, go figure. It's a game...of course wars have been started over killing a pig so maybe it's important to some people.

Not having pool as a playable minigame is a disappointment.

It’s DAYMOS

I feel like the Taiyo habs look like garbage despite how they're supposed to be the luxury brand

1:05 bruh there's only one npc I've heard say it like that and I feel like it's because of her accent. Listen closer I'm sure they pronounce it like daymos

They aren't EXACTLY the same, a has the bathroom on the left and b on the right or something like that :) but yeah basically the same... Just if you're picky about where your doors go, which seems to be the whole reason for these videos, than it might matter to you.

Shame you can't get empty ones and then decorate them in build mode.

So I like your comparison videos, but as a tip, I think you should talk more about the actual design and aesthetic differences of the various rooms you’re comparing, rather than 90% just going over what might be lost from using different entry points. It gets repetitive and, while potentially useful info, isn’t very interesting.

It’s pronounced “Die-Mos” - the “E” in Deimos is silent.

I Honestly really don't like how Taiyo is just HopeTech but light. NPCs and Ads always say that Taiyo has style and looks amazing, but their habs are way too utilitarian and junky like HopeTech

8:04 no, you lose the jump seat and the bathroom

i have no idea what youre hearing. every npc at deimos staryard clearly pronounce it properly: DAY-mos.

Literally paused the vid to take a walk through Deimos staryard and literally everyone says DAYmos, not DIEmos.

1:00 If we really want to pronounce the word correctly is should be pronounced Th - ee - m - aw - s It's a Greek word.

We need a gym mod. All these gym areas are ass
