For everyone who is playing on a non-Steam version of the game, the "Star System" start is broken into 3 parts, you'll be looking for the "Home System" instead. This will allow you to begin as I've done here as that one contains the Earth-like planet. Apologies for any confusion :)

@Splitsie 4 ай бұрын

In Space Engineers on Steam the Star System start contains: Earth-like, Moon, Mars, Europa, Alien, Titan, Triton and Pertam. These are divided amongst 3 separate starts for the non-Steam versions (all console versions and the gamepass/windows store versions), those 3 starts are called Home System, Distant Moons and Distant Worlds, with home system containing the Earth-like start as used here while the others can happily be explored once you feel confident in the game.

Not being super nit-picky, just helpful if anyone needs. With your landing pod if you do grind down your survival kit and lose power in your suit before you can weld it back up you can still recharge by sitting in the seat in the drop pod as long as the battery is still there, you can't respawn or heal though so get that kit welded!

I have about 3,000 hours in Space Engineers - almost entirely in survival, and Splitsie's tutorials made that possible. If you're a new player, you have done well coming to this channel. Even a veteran like me still watches his tutorials, because the game has changed enough over the years that there are new things to learn. There was nothing new to me in this video, but it's rock solid. Listen to him! I would highly suggest a few QoL mods, like Build Info, Build Hints, and Build Vision are must-haves; I won't even join a server if these aren't present. Don't forget to first add Text HUD API.

The build planner thing was tricky, I'd tried to include those bits in this but it just ended up feeling way too overwhelming and I felt like it was more likely to leave players in a situation where they didn't understand the production menu, which seems worse than missing out on a few shortcuts in the early days. My plan is to add bits and pieces in the coming tutorials always linking back to the standalone build planner tutorial I did :)

Appreciated... Everyone wants to be cool and exciting with explosions and fast gameplay..... then new players jump in and get wrecked, have no idea what to do, get frustrated and leave. This is what we need to start with a clue. Just re-installed SE after a 7 or 8 yr hiatus =))) Thanks mate!

Yay! More Splitsie content! I was just getting bored. You're a godsend. As always, love the content. Keep up the good work boss!

Hopefully even though this will be starting out very 'tutorial focused', my plan is to have the series evolve into something like my other series as I start to explore more crazy builds, mods etc so it will be interesting to new and experienced players 🙂

@@Splitsie that's cool to hear, though I think it could be very useful for users coming in later if you make a clear border(?) between tutorial basic and tutorial+. Seeing a long list of tutorial videos can be overwhelming and/or off-putting. Also, for users going back later to find the one you need, for yourself or someone else, it'd be a bit more user friendly. The latter might also influence the click rate(?) and average view length of your videos, which I've heard is important for youtube voodoo. I'm fairly confident you've thought about this already, but in case you hadn't; I had a couple of minutes and thoughts I didn't mind giving ;)

My initial introduction to SE was Splitsie's first tutorial. New functions, systems and updates, new tutorials. Can't wait to see his first miner. :)

@Splitsie 5 ай бұрын

I'm looking forward to sharing a different way of building a miner compared to the previous series where I refitted the pod. Building it from scratch should let me explain a lot more concepts with more clarity than last time (I'm also keen to show off some ideas I have to make it look good too) :)

@@Splitsie I was remembering the butterball actually. I based my own first miner (that I called bumblebee) off of your design.

@Splitsie 5 ай бұрын

Ah right, I still use the butterball as something to spawn in when I need a solid reliable atmo ship for something. I really loved that design 🙂

I want to say a huge thank you for this. I have owned this game on xbox since 2019 and never played it. Got it by a friends request and he said he would teach me, he unfortunately passed away so I never really got the hang of the game. Recently wanted to revisit it, found your guide here ironically while watching an old series you and Capak did. Huge thank you again man, you are the best!

That really sucks, hopefully you end up being able to have some fun and get some good memories from it thanks to your friend, even though he can't share them with you

Super happy to see an update of this series! You got me started when I first picked up space engineers. Minor Quibble: towards the end, when moving your survival kit, you mention topping off suit energy before moving it as you wouldn't be able to recharge. This is generally a good idea, but it appears not to be fully accurate in the video. If you forgot to do so before grinding down your kit, you still had the chair on your pod you could sit in to recharge. It would make the difference when it comes to needing to respawn and start over!

100% I noticed it in the edit but didn't like the alternate ways I thought of handling that so just left it in even though it's not technically correct :D

I've just been following the old tutorials again as hoping to get a friend in to SE with me. Watching but not playing for a while now for various reasons, single player fatigue being one of them. Needed a refresh so pleasantly surprised to see this come up today. Will forward on. Thank you.

So true. You guys make it look easy but I'd forgotten how unforgiving it can be. I'm already digging a broken, upside down miner out of a deep hole. Disasters will abound !

I haven't played this game in years. I did learn how to from Splitsie all those years ago. Good to see you're still around.

When SE got released on Playstation I had the pleasure of teaching 4 friends to play from scratch (it was painful). I Was constantly going back to your old tutorials to see if my info was correct so I really appreciate you doing this since a lot has changed or been added

900 hours in space engineers and I'm just now learning the survival kit produces more resources from stone than the basic refinery. Always good to review the basics.
