Using Projectors | Space Engineers
Ойындар
In this Space Engineers tutorial we see how to create a blueprint, then set up a projector so that we can build the blueprint. This method uses an advanced rotor instead of the popular 'landing gear/battery' method. This method removes the need for a battery and a 'disposable' projection system that would need to be re-configured each time it is build. Using a rotor means you can have a permanent projector system set up in your base to quickly manufacture small-grid blueprints with very little messing about with menu sliders. Of course, swap the projector for a large-grid version to project large-grid blueprints.

Awesome. Thank you for the quick and to the point tutorial. I was using my utility ship to grind down an old ship and forgot to empty its o2 generator and it got crushed by an ice boulder. I am redesigning mark 2 and want to blueprint it this time just in case.

@@TallmanBradGameplay How things work in the game hasn't ever changed much. The menu cosmetics have changed a little. Most of your tutorials should still be relevant.
I nice thing to have said is that you can put a switch On Off for the Build&Repair in menu 1, maybe number 9. This way you could be sure if they are operational. Another thing, you are right that absent of the build and repair it is advisable to put the projector into buildable only but this does not guarantee that all parts would be welded because we could start welding like crazy, mainly the outside stuff and miss the inner smaller components, like gyros, etc. Regular checks on the K menu would make sure we don't miss a part as it would say incomplete. On SE mode it would be advisable to actually switch ALL thrusters OFF whilst being constructed because it consumes battery power plus it does not put a strain on the rotor head, this is especially true in big builds.

I agree, an on/off switch for the BaR would be a good idea. Yes the 'k' menu for unfinished items! I wish I'd remembered to include that. Well spotted. I'm pretty sure I mentioned turning thrusters off, but I also mentioned turning them on just before creating a blueprint (in an earlier video). That's only really good if you are spawning them in. Best if they are off for blueprint building, as you said, to save unnecessary power drain. Thanks for commenting Alvarez. Some very good observations there. I appreciate it.
I like your style!

You do not have to turn off your nano build and repair system to use projection. You might want projection in combat and still want buildandrepair to stay on for repair. All you need to do is disable (turn off) [ build new ] option

How do I change when it says wrong grid size?

If the item you're trying to place is in button 5, for example, press 5 again. Not everything is available in small and large grid though.

It’s the actual blueprints that fails to go on the projector because of wrong grid size
@TallmanBradGameplay
3 жыл бұрын
Ah right. If it's a large grid blueprint it needs a large grid projector. The controls are the same. You won't need a rotor to place it on though. Just put it on your base somewhere.

Exact same technique. Even looks the same. Just the projector is larger and will place straight on your base.

Ah I see what you mean. Yeah that'd be a good one. Oooh, I might need some time to come up with a simplified system for that. As it stands at the minute it could potentially be quite complicated. Getting various sized ships welded in the same machine and then detaching them ready to be used. I like this idea. I'm going to work on that. Thanks for the suggestion game1boy.

It's a pain, but if you need to use it it's doable. I just wish I didn't look like a football/sockerball. Why didn't they make it look like a projector? Or even a camera? Crazy.
