I have no clue how this game works, but this is glorious. That crawling build platform is an engineering feat.

I LOVE your welding ship! This video highlights one of the things that many people miss: You need to build the infrastructure to build the rest of the project!

Well, its just crazy, your skill is completely insane, man! And this welding ship is so good, that it impressed me even more, then elevator. My weilders always looks like a box, cos with all my skill and experience i cant beat huge crate and make it look good. Ty a lot for example, now i can finally create a gorgeous one.

This is so satisfying. Could watch your timelapse endless. Love it

absolutely beautiful. I bet that space elevator lagged your game like crazy. Well done

3:43 the beats matched right up with this was so perfect.

I love to see the potential of the game being utilized. Good stuff Engineer.

The absolute genius to let the machines do this all for you is insane

Very nice project! Survival master soulution! Mad respect!

This reminds me of something another KZfaqr did back in 2017, not nearly at this scale though. Always cool to see people tackle megastructures like this.

Fizikailag lehetetlen! Ez egy átgondolatlan fantazmagória.

A heap of really cool moments. Great vid.

This vid was such a vibe, and interesting to watch develop, thanks for your efforts!

Cool video. 5:27 I've done that exact same mining setup. I was mining ice on Pertam though. Looks like a lot of thrusters for an elevator, but it also looks heavy, so I'm guessing they were helpful.

Wow, your mining contraptions are amazing!

This video has taught me two things. 1) you can make autominers and not have to do the work yourself. I usually play solo so its really hard having to constantly go back and forth for materials. 2) you can make autobuilders by having a contraption with welders and materials.

Okay but naaah that welding rig that lifts up and keeps welding the bits below it is ace.

This video has got me thinkin on how i've been doin things and how to improve. Well done!

Engineer and movie director in one person...perfect

Great project, music and camera!!!!!

Madman! Respect!

im just amazed how smooth its running with all the subgridding

Thanks Dave, helps a lot!!

💪 THE GRIND IS REAL

Amazing, I'm at a loss for words,, and that rarely happens.

one of the coolest parts of the video is seeing you innovate with your drill! lovely engineering work, Pandemic!

Incredible video, i love it

This is so badass

This is soo satisfying to watch 😮😮

Thanks for the video

I personally love the mining rig love how its simple and efficient

Really cool, nice style. wish you showed us the platform rising into space.

Awesome project

Beautiful work, though I admit I had to scream "NOOOO!" when I saw that vectored thrust ship. Those things were a fad a few years ago but they're super janky when trying to make precise maneuvers since they tend to move in a sine wave pattern when you tap the thrust forward and back. Not at all surprised you almost immediately converted it back to normal thrust.

The use of landing gear is far better then the wheeled designs I have seen.

great video !!

so sick! i lov it!

Very inspiring thank you for the video it gave me some great ideas

Watched and 👍 Liked

Wish I knew how to make the lift car... That honestly looks incredible 🥰

you are crazy man 😃 fantastic build

All of this in only 30h ?? What an efficient engineer. In 30h i've not even learn 20% on what the game can offer to me (performance issue aside lol)

jeesst waiting for the actual build vid next.. lol I'm not much for watching reruns but that's me lol

This is impressive!

Is this still feasible when used in combination with aerodynamic physics? Would be great to be able to make atmospheric entry/exit easier

I have no idea how you manage to maintain a conveyor connection with the moving welder. Impressive job!

I have literally no idea what is going on but I like it

Are you using all vanilla blocks? Sorry, I haven't played in many updates. Thinking about getting a new server up and running for it though. I have missed creating.

So nice, Woooooow

Как инженер смотрел с восхищением. Молодцы.

30hrs in game would take us around 30yrs in real life to achieve, but the materials and structures that would need to be made would truly advance our societies.

have you "feeded" the elevator with steelplates manually with connectors welded manually from time to time on that middle conveyor pipe?

cool

Absolutely insane. Would be nice to find out if you could actually connect two celestial bodies using this technique :-D

Do you control that underground drill with ASWD? That mining setup is awesome. Nice way to clear space for an underground base... and the space elevator build is next level! Well done!

Тоже как то строил лифт. Даже чертеж заливал в стим, затем почему то удалил. Правда у меня срузу готовая платформа со всей готовой инфраструктурой вверх поднималась и строила под собой . На любом этапе можно было на лифте подняться и спуститься. Очень прикольно выходило .1200м вроде построил.если не ошибаюсь в расстояниях. Давно не играл.

Эпично! Пацаны, вообще, ребята!

Is it too late to recommend adding a projector on the building machine to avoid having to reset the blueprints each time? Awesome work though!

Couple of these songs is giving mad LittleBigPlanet vibes 😊

Should attempt a orbital ring around a planet, that would be spectacular

The use of pistons and rotors are scaring the hell outta me idk how klang didnt blow stuff up lmao

Hey guys! Look at my small grid mining ship I just built! It's got... what's that you say? He built a... he built a space elevator... huh! Ok!

Awesome, dude, you could probably even connect planets with this sefbuilding elevator, immagine an elevator going from earth to the moon, how cool would that be?

It would topple over. Or buckle under that much weight. You need to work downwards, from geostationary orbit, and build a counterbalance in the opposite direction.

it's rare but here I admit, I was impressed ^_^ how many blocks this monster ?

what did you put at the top of the elevator?>

Impressive your base didn't exploded. Looks like a lot of clang. In our last game, we had build a partly underground moon base with big, auto orientating solar panels. Someday, everything blew up and several parts of the base exploded simultaniously. But maybe just someone let the handbreak on while his car was docked. In the end, we never established to finish an self building space elevator. Build limits, exploding things and detaching grids due to not rendered stuff, the game always found a way to destroy our efforts. Autominer btw. where also very prone to blew up one day (after working for a long while). Do you have any "clang avoidence" rules you follow to prevent damage? Like "no more than one subgrid" or "don't use merge blocks permanently" - I've seen you removing them all the time, or any kind of worshipping the clang god?

How dp you get up to the top of the elevator to restock ot and alter it etc??

Dude U R nuts! How many thousands of hours have you spent in the game and may I ask you what your Job is?

Let see a hyper loop stone the earth or to maybe another planet for mining. Is this usable on any server? Dig it out first then put all your equipment under ground.

Hello, impresive build, love it :) We made something simillar, a tower of 16km, but we have performance issues. Removing one of the conveyors make the station into a ship for some reason and it starts collapsing. Have you encountered same issues?

Respect bro, even having the pations to do this Just Wow, this is amazing

приятно смотреть

God is number one in building creativity of this game. You're second!

What if you build a single pillar from one planet to another, and detach it? How would it fall?

How you do that screen with programmable box? It like they can read your collection on how many resourceful you dig.

This is great, love the design but if I were you I would avoid letting any passengers know how many vehicles you crashed/fell over during the construction

Its incredible how we engineers make up our own problems to solve ;) ..... here is a problem, could you attach the moon to the earth via elevator? :P would it lock into geo stationary orbit? :P

the music was odd but good video

Alternate title. Watching a machine build a space elevator

(Mum). What are you doing (me) just cutting the lawn

Cameraman’s shadow 🌚

are you using any mods/scripts would love to switch up my list

took me 3 hours to make a moon space elevator dunno why it took you 60 times as long despite the distance only being 15 times as great lol

I wish I could build like that

did you know you can put components into blueprints and then weld them with a ship to speed things up? so you don't need the ship to carry all the components (though it will mean more trips as you will be using your jetpack a lot, and you can only carry so much). I know this timelapse is done, but something to keep in mind for the future

How did you tell the elevator builder to stop crawling up

Does it actually work?

How did you get past the 16,384 bloks grid size limit?

I would love to know what is the name of the song at 9:47 :)

dow you have a blow print of this build I would like to locked at it sow I can bildd my on 1

to satisfied

Music?

the game needs more realistic physics, hopefully we will get it during the next gen game engine in vrage3. If the materials that one chooses are weak or strong that should determine how big and deep the pylons that are and will be needed to go down to build the platform on top of them, not to mention how thick the rails would need to be to avoid a whipping or very shaky structure effect at the top of the elevator. the games physics should try to mimic real life as possible in all types of conditions. We also need composite materials that can be made by the players by mixing materials together to give certain materials amounts of tensile strengths depending on materials used. certain materials will add to structures tensile strength, and some will take away from that, but each should have their own advantages. It will just make people think of their builds in a more methodic way. we need water and plumbing, heating and cooling, in the game we need wires with selective gauges too to wire the individual electronics, components and chambers up too. If I knew how to program a game engine for use of a better space engineers' game, those are exactly what I would do. I think making people really think about the real-world design of the ships would be beneficial to society and would be the ultimate geek game.

Behind this game there is a person with an original architect/engineer background.. your project concept can be discussed with big companies hahaha 😂

What so you juse it fore?

How do i make that drill... thing?

the triple towers ? (pls don't hurt me.)

why did I see nanobots at one point

Elon Musk liked this video.
