The AMG Sandstorm deserves a revival and more space miles.

Freeing the sandstorm doesn't have to be a big pain. One trick I often use is to build temporary drills on the grid I want to free. Use the right click mining, and move them, until I have it freed. The advantage to doing it this way is that it does not damage the grid you are freeing since drills don't damage their own grid. Could pretty easily get it loose that way with out having to tear any of it out.

i agree, it would be amazing to have like a "mother ship"...you can like create an plateform at your base that descend under ground and a big gigantic trap close on it to protect him from eventual ennemi shot...in my head it's good, not sure that's for now through XD

take a better look at the sorter. @11:14 you see the arrows on it quite clearly ;)

Lol thanks!

I really hope you salvage the Sandstorm. You barely got to fly it earlier, and I'd love to see it join your navy again. Hopefully you'll be able to project the blueprint and rebuild the damage without too much trouble.

I’d love to see the AMG Sandstorm repaired and given a fresh new coat of icy paint (perhaps a more icy name too?). Maybe you could turn the surrounding area into some sort of shipyard outpost, it’d look awesome inside a valley plus you can repair the Sandstorm in it!

If you right click mine near blocks inbeded in the ice it will also clear the voxels inside blocks. If you go for returning the Sand Storm to flight. And the for your entertaining content.

Splitsie and Capac did it in the first scavenger serie

Outpost Sandstorm sounds cool.

a suggestion for the welding ship.... if you refit the ship to have a connector (large small grid) for where the welders are, and do modules which could be stored in the spare room if you can widen the corridor out... have two welders on connectors mag plated in a storage area which opens up via sensors then above or below those 1 block space between... 2 drills with conveyor converter to connector.... joined the same width apart as the utility conveyors are apart.... and 2 grinders with a connector on each same as the welders... this way when you need to grind anything away you can choose the desired module then grab via the connectors and when you dont need them anymore, you just set them back on their storage spots... I had a couple of modules for a utility ship on steam, which has more versatility with the modules and that way you dont need to build a completely new ship per utility requirement... similar could be used for the mini drill ship too if need be

I would suggest using ISY's inventory manager. It has an autocrafting feature, so you won't have to wait for components to craft.

I thought it was hilarious how you said, "It's like trickle down..." as though that meant it was going to work. If it is actually ANYTHING like trickle down, it should fail horribly. XD

I’d love to see the sandstorm salvaged. With the macchiato it would make freeing it much easier. It would be great if you only repaired it enough to get it home and then spent time restoring it each episode

To avoid venting your base, I like to set up a repeating timer that closes all doors as a group. Having it check every few minutes ensures doors are usually closed, and very rarely does it interfere with you moving around the base.

I feel the pain & satisfaction of welding by hand. At 21:57 it really start to take shape! I always done conveyors first when I can and build a small cargo so I can pull from.

Reclaiming the Sandstorm would be super cool

Finally a new episode ,it felt like an eternity😅 I love you’re Space Engineers series😌☺

Bring it back!!! Then add a ton of weapons to the bottom of it so you can attack from above all of the little red outposts everywhere

The building in this episode was great, and fun! I like how things are expanding in the base. The hidden space would be a great residence/penthouse area. Maybe find a way to link it to the actual base and expand its size and stuff. But yeah as a penthouse that would be cool. On the Sandstorm I totally think reclaiming it would be cool. Maybe you could build a landing platform at your base so it can move the ship to it for its repairs or something.

The tunnel to the solar array u should set up a mining room for ice as well as parking the little drill, you could make a lot of the base expansion under the ice for added security! Keep up the good work ❤

I've just finished binge-watching and catching up on the series. I only just got the game, so I'm way behind the curve. I didn't watch your first series, so I'd love to see the AMG Sandstorm resurrected and used to take you to the stars! The only other thing I want to see is where the ladder goes at the bottom of the scaffolding ladder on the side of the AMG Sandstorm! Obviously the enemies built some kind of room or something in the ice under the ship. I just hope it's not too "underwhelming"! Love the series, keep it up brother!

I'm for bringing the Sandstorm back to flight!

Fix the AMG sandstorm, it deserves more flight hours. Would love to see it up and running again. Love your videos.

Haha good point, it really has only flown once before it was tragically taken down!

You should rescue the AMG Sandstorm. This would be a nice sidequest!

For the AMG Sandstorm, I think it would be an interesting idea to disconnect and salvage parts of the ship to make a new ship using the old. And with the rest that you don’t use, you could either just scrap it, or use the parts for a smaller outpost

i think it would be nice to see you build another big spaceworthy ship from scratch. so in my opinion you should make it an outpost

Use the welder with the mini dril welder for transport and the minidril for digging out the AMG sandstorm

Re: SG ships small enough to navigate LG passageways... There's a Finnish guy who occasionally makes wacky SE designs that use or exploit SE mechanics. Simo or something? One of his tamer designs was a breaching drone that wrapped several ion thrusters, small batteries, a remote, and a gatling gun in armor plates. The workshop also has a number of other similar concept drones for breaching or wreck exploration, some armed, some not. It's neat that SE's workshop is so huge that most concepts constitute their own subgenres of blueprints, but also that there are still some concepts with one-off blueprints no other player has independently converged on (thinking mostly of Green Bean's designs, but there's also a really cool SG treehouse design by another pretty popular creator).

the fish scale side of the sorter is the directional arrow

Heres an idea for the sandstorm whenever/if you retrieve it: you could weld it onto the top of the base and use it as both another room, and a bunch of guns for defense, or you could just rebuild it

AMG Thunderstorm, ground support craft. Free it, get it powered up and reconfigured to wipe those enemy ground bases. Put it over at CoFeNi on the landing pad. Bring n the Caffeine carrier as component storage for the rebuild. And the CoFeNi Croissant sounds delish at a mere 10 SC

Maybe have the welders on pistons 2 on bottom and 2 on top and have a button that turns them on and sweeps over the ship and have projector button for each Sandstorm or other Possibly gut the hanger and have it be an orbital canons ship to be able to hit the reds

When I heard "the base keeps growing" all I could think was "the factory must grow" LoL

tip....if you put a remote control facing backwards with a camera above your connector on a ship then control from that while docking it makes it much easier to dock on a rear facing connector.

The assembler did say its last words.. it said your inventory is full 😂 @12:56

40:06 the reinforced conveyors are airtight on at least one side. Look for the side that is solid.

I feel conflicted about resurrecting's the Sandstorm - On one hand, it hardly had any function in the previous season and got instantly shot down in the next one, so it does feel like it deserves a 2nd chance. On the other hand, how much of a jump does it mean in progress for this season? Does a large battle ship turn the tide a little too much, too quickly? I have had the same concern with my own playthrough, where I am afraid If I push forward too quickly, the challenge becomes too easy... its a hard balance to maintain for sure. Also.. I think you could just automatically turn of vents when doors open... lol - I think you drained all your oxygen while you were building the cargo rooms. 😅

These are good concerns. I was a little worried too when planning the start of the series that finding the sandstorm would throw things off. I don't think it'll be that bad though. The combat abilities of the Sandstorm are pretty weak right now with its firepower packing less of a punch than even the base's defenses. I could use it as a big armored shell to fly combat ships in, but the bases around me are no joke with their assault cannons and I could probably only get away with it once or twice before the Sandstorm looks like swiss cheese. On top of that, the restoration project will be very time consuming so I wouldnt plan to have the ship operational or combat-ready anytime soon. Until it's ready, it would serve as extra defense for the base. I won't complain about that after the last Reaver attack!! But no matter what happens, it'll be a nice experiment to see how it affects the series!

U should bring the AMG back to life again and retrofit it as a freighter ship to space, that way when u have a huge freighter ship from land to space when u want to build space outposts or mining in space

Youve come so far

you should automate your doors. I always have my doors set to close when i get to far from them and my airlocks only allow one door to be open so I dont vent my entire base/ship.

You should save the ship!

Make another Honk the Tonk and rename it The Tirple Shot Espresso then use it for base assaults. Edit: I still say you should save the Sandstorm. I think it deserves a second chance like the Rigatoni got when it used the other ships including the Macaroni to break its fall. The Sandstorm survived without using something else as a cushion so it deserves to fly again more so than the Rigatoni. Repair it but do it slowly so it doesn’t raise make it to easy.

repare it, and Make it as ship

Personally, I think you should leave the Sandstorm in place and turn it into an armed forward mining and refining base similar to the PAM base as you already have most of the infrastructure in place now. No need to dig it out, repair/replace engines and fly it somewhere else. You can always repair/replace systems later when you've mined out the area it's in now.

Turn it into a base.

I really cant understand the point of this sorting. Its just overcomplicate conveyor system and making unloading ingots from welder, for example, much more difficult. The way i see it: you can connect all of ur large storages to one big conveyor system with two sorters each: input one with filters and output that will just prevent putting smth that not belong to this container. Then you add the flush button that will set every input sorter into drain mode. Also, if you can somehow "protect" connectors from draining, you can set "drain all" permanently i think

you should weld up the armoe plates on the roof and paint them dark gray excerpt the big bulge keep it white i think it would look cool also make som living quarters and an office just an ide love you videos they are so good

Maybe salvage the AMG thrusters and useful bits to build a new large grid ship. Useful for destroying all the RED. The Sandstorm could become a base of operation.
