@@daanm3869 Depending on game settings, stations may have to be connected to a voxel in order to stay as a station, if the grid has no connection to a voxel it may automatically convert to ship. As is I believe you need to start with a voxel to make a station anyways outside of creative. Of course, provided you don't overload any of your ships, this makes the asteroids just inside gravity wells very defensible, though you do need to be careful if you want to use them for a ship yard, as weld-wall ships are very easy to over load with components. so you need extra thrusters,

Not sure anyone will read this 8 months late but I throw it out there anyways: - A bit more complicated, but I recommend building small ships off a rotor with small head connected to your base station, you will be able to charge your new ships batteries at the same time as you are building your ship - if you are going to fill a large container with ore and bring it back to earth you'll need 2 large atmospheric thrusters to safely land with that much weight, plus additional small thrusters for the weight of the vehicle itself (on default 3x settings). Test this before you leave the surface! Much better than hitting the ground like a screaming meteor! - be aware that the small block h2o2 processor is BAD at making hydrogen, and wastes about 33% of all the ice you put into it. If you can, use large block h2o2 processors on your base to fill your tank the first time. - when looking for ore it's best to avoid the large solid asteroids, especially with the small block detector because the ore deposits tend to be deep and the small detector doesn't have the range to find them reliably. Stick to the "splattered" asteroids with lots of smaller rocks. More dangerous to navigate, but the resources are often right on the surface - when marking GPS coords with resources, it can be quite helpful to mark surface deposits with something like "EASY" so you know which spots are easiest to reach. For example: "0 06 ice EASY" where "0" is the zone, "06" is the sixth asteroid I checked in the zone, and "ice EASY" so I know it's a deposit that's easy to get at. Thanks for the vid Splitsie! Always nice to see a new video pop up in the feed!

Just for reference, I think they've changed up all the atmo thruster numbers recently and none of the wikis out there are currently correct. (Suspect they've changed up all the other types too but I've only measured atmo). Basically large is the way to go these days unless you're below about 4 total, it used to be more efficient to use multiple smalls. Some in game numbers for small ship atmo in a current vanilla game which I believe are correct ... Small 699Kg 72KN 608KW Large 2948Kg 436KN 2.4MW Thrust to weight of small = 0.103 and large = 0.12. Thrust to energy consumed of small = 0.12 and large = 0.18 Basically a large is worth 6 smalls in terms of thrust but weighs a lot less than 6 smalls (4194Kg vs 2948Kg) and is 1.5 times more energy efficient than 6 smalls. You kind of need to be below about 4 smalls or really need to save space before smalls are worth it now! if you want to check this. Weight comes from adding one thruster to a grid and checking the mass in info. Power comes from the thrust override slider on the thruster, it shows the KN. Power consumption is shown in the control panel for the thruster.

Great info. I use large thrusters any time I can. I typically build ships around the thrusters, since they are so big. I still use small thrusters for sideways movement in most cases though, since I typically have 3 or less each direction. Another tip when building a miner using large thrusters is to put the reverse thruster on the top rear of the craft. As long as the thrust is clear in front of it, the craft will be much more drill capable and the thruster wont get in the way.

19:30 My way of seeing power conservation in this game is: The only time when conserving power in your ship is not a good idea, it's when you're trying to slow down to avoid a crash. 27:20 Drones don't care about tutorials. They're the n00bs of space. 30:20 It'll get you there. Just remember to bring a book to read on your way there. I recommend Asimov's trilogy of book series, Robots, Empire and Foundation. You might be done with "Foundation and Earth" right by the time you hit Zero G. (If you're not familiar with the books, let's just say they are a collection of fifteen long novels.

@TheMhalpern

they don't want multi-environment ships to be easy, or the insane thrust of hydro engines to be sustainable, that is part of the game's balance. Hydro provides insane thrust, but it isn't practical to use constantly, forcing you to use it as a boost for atmo or ion, as well as a way to get limited operational range in either environment. Later in the game, they are supposed to be treated more as emergency thrust, this gameplay design is reinforced more by the hydrogen engines, which consume hydrogen very quickly, so are likely intended as an emergency power source. The other use case for hydrogen systems, is for missiles and fighters you don't intend to have a long shelf life, so more expensive to build power and propulsion systems are a bit of a waste.

Hah! You mentioned it at the end! I've always prefered to play in a sustainable base and not rely on depletable resources and fuels, so when they first made ion thrusters very ineffective in atmosphere and required platinum that you could only find in space, i built a few O2 and H2 bottles and just enough materials to build a block, a solar panel, and a passenger seat and just nursed my way into orbit. There, I built an orbital charging station to make sure I wouldn't run out of power up there. Once that was done, I coasted all the way over to the moon, mined the platinum I needed for some basic ion thrusters, and brought it back so i wouldn't ever be very dependent on ice to play my game. In the end, I wound up actually just moving my whole base to the moon and used that as my permanent base, and managed to do it all with very little actually built back on Earth. It was a fun little challenge all caused by my pathological fear of not having access to all the resources and having to spend a long time before I was free to roam to anything I wanted to anywhere in space. Part of that was probably caused by buying the game waaaay back in the ancient of days when it was still in the very early alpha stages of development where there was only one kind of thruster, no planets, and all the resources to build everything were always available and accessible. I was so thrilled that I could still manage to take that shortcut through the game, although I think I did have my game set to the largest inventory size.

This video helped greatly, it enabled me to build a significantly better looking and significantly more stable rover than anything prior. Thank you for all that you do!

Very useful thanks for the help! As a new player I love this game and I am definitely going to try this

I have like 2000 hrs in game, I have pretty much done it all and I still get excited to see a New Splitsie tutorial!

Oh Splitsie.. I don't know what I'd do without you and your content ❤

I feel like this series would be much more useful then the videos they put on the help screen. Keep up the great work!

Really, really helpful. Thanks! Didn't know what I'll need to craft anything near a vehicle. Now I know!

Thank you Splitsie, now I know what mistakes I made. I run out of hydrogen very fast by getting in to space. I build ship with 14 hydrogen thrusters, instead of 1 large thruster

didn't think about going to space in a small grid ship early on in the game thanks this will help a lot another amazing video splitsie

Thanks, while it is possible, there are advantages and disadvantages to going so soon. I tend to teach it early in my tutorials to show that it's possible and to highlight the techniques (like thrust override) that help make it more efficient. One thing I'd definitely do is at least charge your batteries before you go :P

Welp, 2020 and i may not have many hours to SE like many others but Splitsie vids are really good to point new and even vet players in the right path for a good SE exp @Splitsie keep it up bro i love your SE vids!

Excellent! Great space starting tutorial! I appreciate it!

Im underground on the alien planet, still watching your videos, still learning. Cam tip is good, as is taking a drill on the ship, hand drilling in zero grav is a bit of a chase around as rocks go flying in every direction.

That's so true, it used to be even worse when the rocks would have proper physics interactions - you'd bump them with your suit and they'd fly off tumbling at high speed :P

I'm not even sure since when I have this game (probably got it on a bundle), but my first time playing it was this week and I don't even know how I haven't played it before! Yesterday I managed to build my first rover on my survival world, blew it up, then followed it with another two rovers, one just for random storage and a better one for storage and with built-in survival kit... 10/10 game, great game even on singleplayer!

Thank You for being one of the more "calm" and "mature" vid makers that helps me understand this game (still haven't bought it yet). As opposed to the redbull drinking kids that try to explain things in a scattermouth persona

Definitely handy to watch the more recent ones :)

I flew past this one (boom boom) while building up my base/abilities and thinking about how to get to the ships more easily for building/upgrading later, remembering the piston thing from earlier... adding a connector to an upward facing piston would allow for varied height connections so you could get underneath and work on ships without the need for an awful lot of jetpack flying. Obviously disconnect a ship before changing the working height. Another added bonus would be plonking a couple of temp engines on the ship as soon as the connector is added, so you can take it off the scaffolding and get it hooked into the base systems so everything charges and refills while continuing to work on it.

I like the redesign of the ship from your first tutorial series. I even still use that ship from time to time because its not to bad to build early game.

This is honestly super cool. Thank you very much

Another good getting started tutorial, I was thinking BATTERIES when you took off for space. I sometimes carry the parts for a solar panel or two to build if needed. I also prefer to put the connector on the back and the large hydro pointing down because I'm often heavy when I come back and the additional up thrust makes a big difference.

@Splitsie

That's a good point, also makes it a little easier to switch from one to the other on ascension :)

This has been so helpful, I love this game, but I suck so bad. Now I actually have an understanding of how to do things. Thank you :-)

Also for a point. You can build a small base up in space, then make an Ion Thrusters Miner Ship for that station alone. Have a ship like you already have which you will use to transfer the gathered materials back down to your earth base. And you can also put Solar Panels on the space station along with a quite a hefty amount of Oxygen Farms, to give it power and oxygen so you don't need to worry about dying in space to much. It is also handy to note: You will need defenses on the space station otherwise those drones will go out and be a pain.

You are so good at making videos like this, good for you man.

love the vids Splitsie :) i like to put what i call my accesory functions, any thing that consumes power that is not needed when in an idle or flight mode in a group and have the on/off function on my ship hotbar.

That's a good option too, maybe even just have them with an off command and have separate on commands for each block - kind of like and instant low power mode :)

Well done. Very enlightening and didactic.

I'm watching these tutorials mostly so i can play with a friend, i plan to get him the game whenever it's next on sale.

Another Brilliant episode, note to self to ensure all is charged and take some ice with me 🙂

these video's have been really helpful and helped me when i first started the game. Thank you :)

Was getting somewhat bored with my other games. I've got just over 1300 hours (most of that in creative playing around with/testing mods and other people's creations). Decided to give it survival another shot. Previous computer struggled with planets, plus I always found it difficult to start in space. Stumbled across your tutorials. Now, I'm having a blast building my starting base, a few atmospheric ships, rovers and slowly getting prepared to launch into space, colonize the star system and maybe build a couple of warships to go after space pirates.

Nice quick and easy build; I see you remembered the ore detector this time : > )Wanted to mention turning up the scanning radius for better finding what you are looking for amongst the asteroids.

I see you bought the DLC, gird thyself for incoming salt from half the experienced player base ;) Good video series for new players btw - ill be sure to point new folks SE I meet to this. Extra Tip for new players, consider putting a survival kit on your first spaceship. you will need to find some silver on the planet to make medical components. This will let you respawn in space and also let you mine asteroids to make space stations.

@Splitsie

Completely agree that a survival kit is a valuable component of your early space bound ships, just remember you'll need a proper refinery (not a basic one) to process that silver and create the medical components :) As for the DLC, my opinions on that are too nuanced for me to confidently express them on the internet without them being easily misconstrued :P
