Space Engineers Part 4

I do get the frustration, but it might be better to start in space. You can make a base/ship, then it's much easier to make a smaller drilling ship that attaches to it. Might help to have someone that can answer questions, because it is a very complicated game.

I think this is the first time we’ve seen Matt rage quit. Poor Matt.

He should definitely start a multiplayer server where his fans/patreon? can join

Also you need to assign blocks by entering the rover cockpit and pressing "G" this will open a menu where you can click and drag parts just drag your rovers connecter down to your hotbar (while in the seat) and select switch lock BTW True civil engineer I may have a survival server you can join that is pretty advanced already that you can continue to make videos on

the learning curve for SE is rather steep, but if you at some point revisit try creative just to learn some of the building system and the physics of the game. but as other's have said, this game is way better with friends, or even with your viewers.

thre is also setting to make things like the smelter work faster just generally this is all to make the play as you want i belive you can cahnge these setting even after a game has been started

ya the base world setting are best if you are playing with a group[ but by yourself you really should have increased things like inventory size i always do 5-10x inventory when i play by myself and there are other setting to make things like right be worth more ofeach resorce so you are not spending days to build a single block

To me the number one priority is that you also enjoy the content you're preparing for us to enjoy, so I fully support moving on, but at the same time have to say that this series was a blast - thanks Matt!

If you look at all the buildable stuff, they have those conveyor ports everywhere. You're on the right track here with that drill on a piston giving you infinite resources (so to speak), you just needed to put it on an elbow conveyor where you deleted the connector. You can interconnect all your stuff into one giant inventory. But yeah this game is unforgiving and so easy to wreck your stuff, it doesn't blend well with your play style. Keep in mind there's 5 backups 5 mins apart so once things go sideways, you can timeslip and pretend you never...I mean it never screwed up. Personally I would love to see you work out the piston/drill thing and do one more vid to make the call to quit the series. Really though I'd say give yourself a goal to get to space - mine some ice to get hydrogen fuel and once you're up there - that's the end of the series because in solo, that's kinda it - you just build bigger ships, automate your mining from asteroids, setup drones to go find ore automatically...build a yacht in space...and see what's out there. I think maybe 3-4 more episodes to give it a good run for us Patreons, but maybe don't set your rover to unlimited speed. :D Edit: forgot to add, the reason you couldn't double stack pistons is you didn't add the head - sometimes it does that automatically, I haven't figured that out yet - but point is once the head is welded on you can then stack the next piston and so on. I would be sure to go into the Control page and start renaming them so you don't lose track - stage 1, 2 etc. Edit part deux: I wanted to add one more point regarding your frustration with the time investment - you used heavy armor on your rover - that's very expensive compared to light armor, caused you to need at least 2-3x the mining to get the resources - load your backup game from 10 mins before, drive carefully back with your load of resources, and then you can dock at your connector and unload. But this time build your ship to get to space out of light armor.
