Survive with me #7 - Drill-rig build (Space Engineers) 

Now I feel like I need to completely mine out an ice lake.

finally someone explained event controller to me in a way i under stand thank you fot your time

Nice video as always. I have many hours in SE so i am not learning anything really on the technical side from this series (and did not expect to). What i am here for however is learning and getting inspiration from, is the way you also do things with immersion in mind, make a nice cozy base, making and using builds for specific jobs, instead of a do it all ship. Much as you talked about i think in your motivation video you once made. I really don't want to abandon my worlds over and over again because i don't know or cant be motivated for what to do next. So please do keep up detailing your builds and doing things for immersion as you have done so far. Btw this video seems to be hidden in the playlist for your series. (Edit: Seems to appear now)

If it's going to be unmanned your going to want a 3rd event controller to shut everything off when storage is full

Very cool. Man, I've got to get my creativeness to go outside of the box it's in. This video is great a example of things I haven't even considered. Looking forward to the next one!

Advise from 7000h of this game : STOP POKING VERTICAL HOLES. They are complicated to do and serve no purpose afterward. Make horizontal ones in a hill or a montain, use a left/right sweeping movement instead of a rotation, pile up drills verticaly, and you will get a perfect square cavern, very useful to protect yourself.

There's a mod Smooth Voxel it limits that weird ground still do get some of it but not in the amount you get without the mod

One thing I did on a recent world for a starter base was make a large drill arm on a rotor similar to this, but then had up to I think 5 pistons horizontally, with a merge block on the last one where the drill arm would be. I then extended a 2nd metal arm along the piston arm and set merge blocks at intervals where you could extend 1 piston and have it lock for stability, and then have another 4 or 5 pistons going down for the set of drills I had. It obviously was a bit more resource intensive, and I set it up on a Fe, Ni, and Cobalt patch so it was more to get a ton of basic ores, but it worked well and remained stable even with a lot of ore traveling. The really neat thing is, once I cleared all the ores out of that massive hole, I took the drills off and made it a grinder junkyard pit with a magnectic arm. It could extend out to 2 pads on the sides, pick up old ships and debris left from crashes or battles, and safely place them in the pit. How did I get the debris there? Well, a large magnetic tugboat ship, but that wasn't nearly as fun lol

Smooth voxels mod is a must in my opinion, those little cracks and uneven ground have taken too many of my rovers

Very nice setup Lunar! Glad to finally see you using Shift+MMB to put components to production! 😁

This is a great series, I just started playing again and followed your steps. I needed silver for a certain component which my basic refiner just would not accept so I figured I need the bigger one. Holy crap, that costed me quite a bunch of resources. I would enjoy a video about how to setup advanced refineries and assemblers.

If you play that way there is a lovely autominer script for drillrigs :)

at 11:46 you used the jetpack to put the block below the structure. you can also press B twice to use the grid aligned mode and just pointing towards the ground will make the block snap to that position

That shadow at 10:40 is a little suspicious X)

R.I.P. key clacking sounds.

Why do you need a new Keyboard? The clacking makes the video more immersive!

I'm a clicky type keyboard enjoyer, we talking IBM Model M keyboard enjoyer.

You can put wind turbines on the side of the wind turnbine tower and it stays optimal

Next up is how to make a drone?

An era will when the new keyboard arrives😢

Yes new keyboard 🙌 😂

I would love to do a full survival play-through, I just don't have the willpower to not access admin tools and cheat, and it ruins the game for me. They should absolutely make it possible to turn off the admin privileges in the pre-game options. If anyone knows a way around this it would be appreciated, without having to join an online server.

Yo what’s the intro song? It sounds dope for the all of three seconds I hear it.

24:54 tried to fix my shakes like you showed here but do not get the checkbox option. I have my rotor and pistons selected but no checkbox appears below the Safety detach slider. Is there something I am missing here?

It's not important, but the word you are using is actually spelled foreshadowing, there is no need to hyphenate. PS. If I make a comment like this, it's mostly just to feed the algorithm.
