It looks like that the "prototech" block either extends back towards the shadowed area in a mirrored way (new shield generator for ships?) or it is the same block placed again, or even another block in the same style... About the "industrial espionage", maybe it doesn't refer directly to the block itself, but to the prototech in a more general way both as proto-civilisation technology AND prototype technology, because some technologies rise while others fall, because even if something older is better than what we currently have, at that time it was too difficult and/or too expensive to make and/or maintain and so it got lost and forgotten and then found again, and us as players we need to recover it from NPCs...

I suspect you pretty much nailed it in the video. "Prototech" is likely going to be ROS reverse engineering ancient alien technology (as hinted at by the Monolith and Stereolith), resulting in an advanced Ion Thruster, and presumably some other blocks. You can see "The Expanse" or "Robotech" or a hundred other sci-fi franchises for similar storylines. As for the "Industrial Espionage" aspect... could just be a scenario where we covertly infiltrate a facility with the end goal of obtaining essential data... but I wonder if it might not also include some new blocks, like a ship cloaking device or electronic countermeasures... or maybe character-scale equipment with those functions. Really, the possibilities are nearly endless. They're really hyping this one up, and I'm eager to see what they end up delivering.

Hey Zer0! you've been a great help and inspiration on my journey with learning about space engineers, everything from ship design and gameplay to lore and meta-knowledge. I really appreciate you and your channels. keep up the great work! as for what I think industrial espionage could mean, its difficult to think of anything outside of your theories when you support them so well and have so much experience with the game and devs. I think it's reasonable to assume we're going to get a new scenario to play through with this new update that will likely teach us all about it.

@Zer0sLegion

6 күн бұрын

I would love a new scenario, we haven't had one for ages!

I think 'industrial espionage' essentially will be some kind of mission, kind of similar to the ones we already have, where you travel to a space station that is within a safe zone, 'inflitrate' and deactivate the safe zone, loot the tech and shoot your way out. Presumably this is one way to aqcuire the prototech, and that there will be different mission types and perhaps even ways to stumble across the tech by exploring things out in the world. I think we will be crafting prototech through a prototech assembler with its own skill tree, that maybe requires blueprints to unlock. Protoplates are the resource for crafting these blocks. And for a spicy one, I'm gonna throw out a wild theory about prototech: Prototech blocks are the only types of blocks that function inside of a type of 'nether dimension', similar to minecraft's nether or the warp in WH40k. Inside the warp you are continously attacked by various forms of hostile aliens, and there you can mine the materials needed for protoplates, as well as there being higher spawns of the typical rare-er metals from the overworld. This dimension also functions like the nether in minecraft, as travel there and out again lets you travel 10x the distance, making warp-travel combined with jump drives the fastest way to get around, though also very dangerous.

"If you close your eyes then it looks exactly alike" just earned my sub sir

Maybe but I would have thought it would have been an upright block like the base game one.

I think an old civilisation left some super advanced components before disapearing then the R.O.S discovered these components and started to make some thecnologies with it, so we may need to go to some R.O.S bases or ships (maybe like a big mothership) scan the prototech blocks and now we can build them with the components I mentioned earlier. I don't think we will have to only use the ores we have now so maybe we will have to search on new asteroids or maybe on a new moon or even a new planet to find the new ore(s) and then we will have to use the components we found so we can build a prototech rafinery and now we can make the components ourselves.

To me the block looks like a new kind of refinery. It wouldn't make sense to just have a better one as it would only serve to obsolete it. I feel like it's more likely required for some sort of proto-resource or exotic matter. Industrial espionage - This reminds me of the "Cannot use proprietary technology" when grinding down NPC thrusters stopping you from getting thruster parts. Seems like we may be allowed to do so in the future at the cost of a greater faction penalty.

A end game hacking device would be cool, imagine if you could maintain a lock on a ship for X amount of time to hack it. If they break the lock you got to restart or if they introduce something that is also end game that prevents hacking or significantly slows it down.

What about a hacking block to steal (magnet) monolytes (or prototeck panels - maybe same thing) and so , learn new technology ? Also monolyte and stereolyte can be the 2 pieces of same tech as : -catch monolyte to get new production blocs -catch stereolyte to get new power / thrusters blocs "Catch" can also mean "decode" "translate" "steal" "learn" "activate"

I'm with you on it being a O2/H2 Generator. Mostly because of the details. I shares a lot of features with the Generator mainly that back box part with an opening/window at the top part looks a lot like the base Generator. There are a few other bits that make me think that it is a O2/H2 Generator. If it is a Refinery like a lot of people have said, (which TBF it does have the overall Refinery shape with the front corners cut off to make it a hexagon without 3 of it's sides.) then its orientation should be vertical. But that terminal is in its correct orientation, so this is the indented orientation. Also the support structure, text and symbols indicates the orientation as well but not very strongly. The big circular bit in the middle looks like some kind of chamber either for storage of fluids, (so water or either of the gasses) or it's some kind of separation chamber. Ok Imma just list the rest cause I can't be bothered explaining all the things I noticed and why they make me thing this. There are some either very hefty cables/pipes exiting the bottom of that top back part going down into a box at the bottom. Lastly the lack of any visible cargo ports means that isn't at least not got the same layout as the other Refineries. And it seems to be connected to what I think is a large cargo container at the back which would line up nicely if it's a 3x3x? with a cargo port on the centre of each end and maybe one out the top and bottom. That said it's still could be anything and all that really just makes me thing is like at most 10% more likely to be a O2/H2 Generator than something else. Also isn't there a new system for hacking NPC grids from the last update? I coulda sworn there is once you meat the criteria to claim it.

I'm really hoping for a better progression system with the overhaul to PVE and endgame equipment. As of now once you have Cobalt you have it all, so I really want a reason to explore different planets and interact with factions. Because normally I'm just a hermit or decide one faction must go just to make things interesting.

Space Engineers has a lot of new & strange updates or probably even characters/blocks :O

as for Prototech, I think you are right, and industrial espionage is just that, we have to get the info for the new blocks from different factions, not just one. if everyone knows about the Proto-tech from some past race, then other factions might have some of it as well and you have to get things from more than one faction. that way you have to deal with more than one faction out there. if it were just one faction then you could ignore the ones who are friendly with you, but if you have to "steal" from more than one, you would have to watch out and hope they don't attack you before you have a chance to get your rep with them back up.

with the addition of these absolutely behemoth engines do you think there's a possibility of keen increasing the speed limit for ships that use the engines? I do find it really interesting that they went out of there way to make an engine like this. What are your thoughts?

hopefully. that, and space engineer's subpar combat system, are possibly my biggest problems with space engineers. thinking of vs "from the depths", where armor and speed is everything. in that game you'll also see larger ships against other larger ships, simply because they are large enough to fit the custom weapons required to reliably penetrate each other's hulls. and speed is king in that game, even more so when one vessel has superior range and accuracy to the other. a good example would the WF ships, they are quick, and love close combat, however its still possible to snipe them before they even approach. then theres also something which keeps small things useful. detection, you have to actually detect them, and even then, the accuracy is not perfect. flares and chaff just confuse things more. with space engineers, combat is closer to pre ww1 combat, where you have massive ships just going at it. or some cheese build that just deletes a dreadnought in one shot

No way. SE are very scientific and the only limitation for the speed is speed limit, not the engine. You can reach 100m/c with every thruster, even small one. It just takes longer time.

I thought refinery at first, simply due to the fact that the teased block in the video was (from what I understood) 2 blocks tall, large, and had a sloped top half. Another block that is 2 tall, large, and has a sloped bit is the refinery. It fits the very roughly guesstimated physical dimensions of what the block is, and also, what I interpreted from the title was that it would be an industrial block. The main industrial capabilities are the collection of resources, refining/processing, and utilization (distributing, construction, etc). Refining is CRUCIAL for any industrial expansion. Just my thoughts on this. Also, I could be VERY wrong as I'm only 5 minutes into this video, and haven't yet seen the previous video (don't flame me yet if I missed something obvious!!)

i think there is definately new technology coming for sure and that a new race of people are about to try and protect this new technology

3:13 honestly the hydrogen engine sounds right seeing how it only has a conveyor at the back and bottom with a terminal on the back right, where that terminal just happens to be located. it does seem to be 2x2x3 so this thing better pack a lot of energy if it is a hydrogen engine. also the rounded shape with some gold makes me think of the industrial dlc hydrogen thrusters...

I believe it was a few years ago in a stream when someone from the community asked Keen why there were no laser weapons or futuristic technologies in the game. Keen responded that they wanted to keep the game as "realistic" and grounded as possible. Introducing an ancient alien civilization into the game, however, allows them to break that barrier and add new, powerful blocks. This new block could be anything-it might be a powerful reactor, or with the introduction of new resources, it could be a completely new energy production block, burning coal, for example . It could also be a new refinery to process new materials. Still, I find it hard to believe that they will introduce NPCs into the game. I believe the core of the game will remain mostly the same, as Keen doesn't always meet community expectations 100%. You should also note that in the last Space Engineers stream, Xocliw mentioned that everything the community has wanted for years is being made. From the last streams I saw, it seems it's going to take them a few months to deliver.

The block is a ProtoTech Jump Drive, replacing the original Jump Drive. (You saw the jump drive effects when you beat that mission in SE by touching the monolith/stereolith!)

I doubt think it's a jump drive, it's way too small.

@@Zer0sLegion Not saying it's a jump drive, but one of the things that tends to come with "more advanced" tech is smaller size. So being smaller could be one of the ways that it's "better."

I´m pretty sure that the block from the video is a refinery. It´s 2 blocks high, about 4 blocks long and about 2 wide because the cylinder needs the space in highness and wideness. That should be the seperator from the refinery. And the refinery is industrial. The shape is at the end fits too. I´m 99,999995 % sure, it´s a refinery.

All of the Prototech blocks we've seen so far have been larger than their base game counter part and that block doesn't really look like a refinery. We'll find out soon enough.

@@Zer0sLegion That could be a reason, but it doesn't have to be. It could be the arc furnace too in its early state. How you said - we will find out.

A hacking tool would be so amazing. We’ve need that for a long time. (I know mods, but it really should be in the base game)

Maybe, not sure it fits the sentence on the data pad but it could be.

bro a space engineers game theory

It is a new tier of end game blocks, think its a reffinary , that meats the industial and the epsionage comes from the new pve content, so its like you need to steal it, think thats pretty much it, as you said in the video

Protogens/Protogenitors in Space Engineers confirmed! The furries have arrived to the world-renown space game!

It could be a refinery since it also is round ish.

Remeber where getting new ores and resources in this PVE update, my bet is its a prototech refinery for ether A processing ores much faster, Or B Processing the new late game ores for use in the new prototech assembler. We already have the progression of survival kit/basic assembler/Assembler chain why not just throw a proto Assembler in the loop. Along with the rest.

@Zer0sLegion I might have miss remembered I do remember them saying new resources, however. Which does that mean new components? New gases...water? What is new resources.

@@tidusklein3387 I assume the new resources is just the prototech panels. We haven't seen any indication of new ores yet.

I have a feeling it's a refinery, or like you said a new big upgraded hydrogen engine

And they have mentioned new resorces, "proto-ore?" to be used with prototec refinery and to make proto components.

I think the new resource might be prototech panels, we haven't seen any reference to new ores.

Also, Zer0Legion, i just wanted to clear this up, that i'm Aj Renegade from the showcase live stream, just using a different account, from my mom, since well, 1. my acount glitches with live streams hence i can't watch them, 2. i'm too lazy to fix it. 3. too busy building and theorizing in space engineers. Anyway, i wanted to clear that, because it felt weird, for some reason, hoping to get my account fixed soon though, finally. again, great video, and keep it up man!!

Looks a lot like a refinery and seem logic if there is also coming a new assembler

I'd imagine a refinery is coming but I don't think that is it.

I like the R.O.S idea but in my opinion the industrial espionage title could mean it’s an industrial style block, like a big auto assembler or something and the sneak peak is us getting illegal info on it. Just a thought

@Zer0sLegion

Pretty weak if that is the case.

Steeling blocks sound for me like the whole Assertive thing from Spltisie. What if we combine the following information: - end-game super-blocks (like the assert thrusters, an improved variant of existing blocks) - industrial espionage and PvE focus of the the update (stealing and de-assembling of the blocks in order to be able built them?) - splitsie was tasked with advertising/pre-viewing the signals update - MES plugin gets no further development My working theory is, that something in that direction could be the new PvE system
