love this looking forward to all the automation in this series

Well as promised we may not end up doing things the fastest way but it will be automated (eventually) if only editing and my work schedule was as easy to automate 🤦‍♂️

You have more didication than me. I certainly understand the editing grind and the rambling spirals that cause so much cut footage that open sandbox games can cause. Half the reason I stuck to linear story games in my short stint at trying to do let's plays. But, as others said, please be careful of burnout. I certainly agree, you could have probably made 2 or 3 separate videos with all this footage. Shown some of the real time building processes and explaining your logic and ideas for how and why doing something a certain way. And personally, I was fine with the manual mining time-lapse, no idea how you did the overlay but it looked nice. Didn't feel like it dragged on longer than really needed.

Thanks for the feedback new content will be out this week Yeah the burnout can be real especially with the type of work i do for a day job meaning i travel at least once a week for 2 - 4 days at a time working 18 hours a day for the away time. I am thinking of taking a hybrid approach moving forward releasing the rambling videos as more of what i would do when i used to livestream but just speeding up the grindy parts then maybe for every 4 episodes i will release one of the short form versions to combine them into a 15 min or less cinematic as i don't know if people will be as interested in my rambling videos Time will tell Also that mining timelapse was captured by a second character in spectator mode and then i masked it frame by frame to move it with the outline the hand drill makes For the more cinematic shots it was just playing around with placement of the spectator cam and finding that when you are outside of the hole in spectator it stays filled with light but also that being in the dark doesn't completely waste the footage like i thought it would

Always good to see new SE content creators and i like the goal you have set with automation. I also like what i have seen from the teaser and looking forward to see what the future brings. However i have a few things i feel i must mention for your own sake. In my opinion you have spend way too much time spend on editing and compressing the gameplay, at this rate there will never be a series, but you will probably burn out long before that. The editing also almost seems to be more of the focus than the actual engineering in the game, i am not sure that is what you are going for ? Take your time, there is no rush, this game progress could easily have been 2 x 30 mins episodes with way less editing and way less stress on yourself. You say you are inspired by Splitsie, take a look at his series again, and see how much raw footage he actually uses, and taking his time to show the practical details as well. This is just my opinion based on my fear of you burning out on the project early on for no good reason. If i am completely wrong and you are having a great time doing it like this, then ignore this, because most important of all, you should have fun doing it. Looking forward to future episodes

Thank you so much for your comment, @abaloth. It’s been a stressful few weeks, and I really needed to see this today. Your kind words and constructive feedback mean a lot to me. You’re absolutely right about the editing and compressing the gameplay. I did spend a lot of time on it, and it led to some burnout. I was worried that my non-stop rambling and tendency to get sidetracked might not be engaging enough to keep people's attention, so I thought heavy editing was the solution. I really appreciate your advice and will definitely take it on board. Moving forward, I’ll try my best to retain the same level of quality while taking more time to show the practical details and raw footage, just like Splitsie does. Most importantly, I’ll focus on having fun with the process. Looking forward to sharing more episodes with you. Thanks again for your support and insights!

@@sh3rmangaming I am happy my comment was helpful to you. Remember your video editing software should be a helpful tool and not a burden that you feel you MUST use. Sure getting used to different features of your software takes time, but i think you already know how to not spend too much time on a simple timelapse and cutting parts out. Slowly learn other features of your software and use them as needed during episodes. Enjoy the journey not only in evolving your thriving base in SE but also in learning the software tools you need or want to work with. And also i WANT to hear your ramble, i want hear what is going through your head during design process of your base, ships, rovers, drills rigs and so on. I want to see you fiddle in control panel to make that contraption you just build work just the right way for you. I want to see you struggle with some problems only to later see how you reach a solution. Take me with you on the Space Engineer journey. Don't be too afraid of what we viewers like or don't like to see, instead think about what _you_ don't like to see on other peoples videos, and avoid doing that. Also things that you don't mind watching or even like about other peoples videos is probably things you actually should keep in your content. ( as an example, I am pretty sure you don't have a problem with Splitsie "rambling" in fact i believe it is probably one of the reasons you watch him )

Again thanks for the constructive criticism it really does help. I am taking everything on board and trying to get this whole content thing figured out and like you said I do want to enjoy the journey.

@sh3rmangaming 2 күн бұрын

Heya thanks for the feedback This is my first actual attempt at making videos but have years as a live streamer i was wanting to ensure my content would bring something new and different and enjoyed making the cinematic style but agree it left a lot lacking in terms of showcasing the actual engineering of this game Moving forwards i plan to showcase a lot more of the grind and my rambling on to try and fix the issues i create then as a once a month kinda thing release the cinematic version that captures the months work i feel this will better cater to what i have seen everyone wanting and help with not needing to edit as much for each indivdual episode. Let me know your thoughts there is a poll up in the community to vote on the type of content you would prefer moving forwards

I like A LOT the SHORT video. I would have show even less manual digging, and maybe a cutaway and an explanation of your final rig, and what did go wrong while building it.

@sh3rmangaming 2 күн бұрын

Thanks for the feedback, @ericseidel4940! 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed the shorter video. I'll definitely keep your suggestions in mind for future episodes. Showing less manual digging and adding more explanations about the final rig and any issues encountered sounds like a great idea. Stay tuned for more improvements!

You mentioned listing mods, but didn't end up listing them. I noticed at least two interesting looking blocks that I didn't recognize, so I'm curious what you've added.

Heya yeah my mod explanations went on and on and i butchered them but the main mods that actually got used in the episode were AQD Small Grid expansion which allowed for the small grid basic refinery on our starter rover AQD Concrete Mod Better Stone One of the mods you may have seen that we haven't delved into yet was L.W.T.S (Lord Waders Tiered Systems)

FWIW, the easiest way to get a *LOT* of stone is to place a collector on your rover, back it up against a cliff, then dig a trench up the side of the mountain. The stone that doesn't go into your backpack will roll down the trench to the collector and then be processed without you needing to go back to your rover. (Try not to go too far up, like I did the first time. The line of stone ended up being so long that garbage collection deleted the oldest stones before they even got to the collector. :facepalm: ) Cheers!

Thanks for sharing that tip! You're absolutely right, and that’s generally how I would start my playthroughs too. I’ve also experienced the pain of garbage collection deleting resources before I could get to them-so frustrating! 😅 Cheers for the insight, and I hope you keep enjoying the series!

Great start, but YT viewership is a fickle thing. Maybe don't try to do so much in each episode and put out episodes once per week instead. I was served up this video by the algorithm and saw that it was 3 weeks old and said to myself, great! I'll be able to watch 2 or 3 episodes... Only to find out this was it. Good luck with the channel. I'm looking forward to the next video. Shalom.

Thanks for the feedback and kind words, @sgt_retiredcharlie4102! I apologize for the gap between episodes. I had intended to release a lot more content as my work looked like it was going to be in a slow period, giving me more time on weekends. Unfortunately, I’ve been sick and now have gigs every weekend, which has reduced my available time. I’ll definitely aim to put out episodes more regularly. Stay tuned, and I appreciate your patience and support. Shalom!
