You've got to watch out for all those dastardly people putting "Welcome Splitsie" signs everywhere. 😂

Just wanted to say, knowing the amount of time that a new baby can take up, and you managed to find time to make us another series is greatly appreciated by us. Thank you for all the great content.

OK, so Splitsie has turned in to a kidnapper! 🤣Maybe add a beacon broadcasting "Free Candy" 🍬🍬🍬

The reason that one hydrogen engine was draining and the other ones were gaining is because all the engines try to reach an equal amount of stored hydrogen (hope that makes sense)

24:16 "It's almost peaceful." 10 seconds later: "Capac amaru Has joined the server."

It would be interesting to is a screenshot of the Respawn pod at the beginning of each episode showing the Splitication of the Ship as Splitsie progresses on his collecting of Engineers.

Now that I finally have SE, I would like to meet you in space at some point. If only just to wave at the man who taught me all I know 😂

A plan for when you get to planets?: Plant a tree on all the north pole's

love this new series!! Feels like the old days of tutorials - explaining as you go... Keep it up!!!!

a 6 panel Solar array can typically be used to make the RespawnPod stay powered while you're logged off.

This is great I’ve always wondered about the Keen severs this is a nice intro to sever gameplay.

i always love seeing a new series from splitsie. i have been watching survival unlikely again and have been noticing the learning progression of both capac and splitsie a lot more then the first time watching it.

Ok, I'm more enthused about this series than your other SE series. Its the starting on a new server (or private server with friends) with no (or very basic) mods fresh in a survival pod, lost in space that's the best part of SE for me. I've done it countless times. The scratching out a living at the beginning is my favourite part. By the time I end up in a newly designed mega factory ship, i tend to get bored, never finish it, and start again fresh somewhere else.

At the moment, I think the ship needs to be called the Boom Stick, although it probably looks very different now. As for dealing with passengers, eject the cryopods the moment people start making demands and make sure to have plenty of algal paste sandwiches for any Capac minded people you pick up... Good luck and God speed!

Always fun to see a new (to me) style of content Splitsie. Thanks!

Yay a new series, and on a server again😁🤘 Interested to see where/how this goes with the whole collector theme. Would be an honor to a part of Splitsie's crew...or at least a human popsicle in the freezer😆

Green Ghillie suit engineer volunteering for pop "cryo" sicle Sir! Thank's for the great content as usual!

With the five drill limit, I usually do three drills in a row like you've done, and two placed opposite in a cross, but three blocks apart (one block space between the center drill and outer drill. That way I have one row of three drills packed tight, and one row a little more spaced out, and I rotate the whole ship while boring. The tight row catches all the voxel that I'll be driving into while the spaced row digs a little more space around the ship.

Very nice. Great episode and I look forward to the series. I've watched a lot of your series and I learn so much from you. As well as being a skilled space engineer and creative content creator, you seem to be a genuinely nice person. I've enjoyed your recent interactions with Capac and TFE. Keep up the great work!

I love your solo projects. It's interesting to hear your thought process when doing builds.

I really enjoy the pure engineering in this video. The other series with constant combat with AI drones and what not is exciting from time to time, but I really just like watching you guys build stuff so I hope this series continues to be more like we've seen so far.

I am absolutely loving that you’re doing a series like this, I’m new to the game and have been following all of your tutorials and I’ve tried starting in space in the past and it was pretty rough, but now that I have a bit more experience and your videos to roughly follow along with I think I’ll try again

Cool idea! I am so glad you're still doing these. I live vicariously through your videos because I could never torture myself as hard as you do. Vanilla SE is a hard pill to swallow, what with build vision and the other lovely QOLs. Looking forward to this series!

On the standard star system map, Fake Earth is located EXACTLY at GPS coordinates 0,0,0. So you can make a GPS point and manually input the coordinates. I also do similar with a GPS point at 0,-3000000000,0 for North and 0,3000000000,0 for South, because the sun follows the XZ plane, so the Y-axis is also the North/South axis. It's extremely useful when you're using solar and/or wanting a specific latitude on a planet/moon.

I'll tell you a little tip i've used in the early days. I put a gear next to the connector to evade random deletes at restart. Have luck 😊

I freaking love your content, and I've been around SE for over a decade, never gets old :3

I can't tell you how much I've been waiting for this kind of gameplay. I love it

You should have just started with the drill attached to the survival kit through where the slanted window is then you could have kept airtightness in the cockpit and you could have had it processing stone while flying around searching for deposits

I love that every series comes with tips that are vital, like the middle mouse button shortcuts with dumping ores. Very considerate.

Splitsie, I love the way your mind works! This ship is a hodge-podge, hobbled together cluster of engines and 02/H2 Generators (not to mention, small-grid large storage), but it all just works together and I can see how you're going to make the whole ship look good once you get a reactor on board. I can tell that I'm going to enjoy this series. I'm so glad I found your channel. Now if I could just stop building bricks myself! LOL Edit: I tried to this EXACT thing, with the merge block and an Asteroid, but I turned my ship into a station (because I thought I had to) and so even after I disconnected the merge blocks (and the ship wasn't touching anything anymore) the game said, "Error, cannot turn into Ship" So my Ship became an Asteroid... Go figure. I had to revert to a save from like 6 hours earlier that day!

Completely Vanilla. With Progression enabled. Oh the humanity! God's speed, Splitsie.

I love the way this ship looks after u built it up, it looks so unorganized but mechanical

Awesome! I'm very excited to follow you on this new journey! Can't wait to see your ship once you have it styled up!

Interesting goal for this series can't wait to see what happens next!

Heck yeah. I like tutorial content and I've always wanted to be good at Space Engineers. Looking forward to this :D

Should definitely swing by Keen server CA#2 sometime. There's a few large and interesting bases there and many of them allow visitors (even to spawn in), and it even has a public trading station called the "En Route" and a domed base on the Moon called "Lovell City". The En Route station is the oldest on the server at this point, and has been a popular gathering location for 1.5 years. Mithridates Rex, the proprietor of both those bases, is an old veteran of the Sigma Draconis "Escape From Purgatory" server, and appears in chat in a few of those videos. His faction has some magnificent vehicles, and the server regularly polices itself to prevent piracy.

must admit, i havnt gamed in 6 months, havnt played SE in over a year, and i havnt watched any gaming related videos in long time.... BUT then i see splitsie doing a vanilla playthru on a keen server.....AND im back baby

Starting from the beginning on a random server is such a refreshing idea. If only it was a daily upload! Can’t wait for more 😁

This is the first SE survival video I've watched in years. Fascinating concept!

36:58 I like it.. all of it!! Keep at Splitsie.. with luck your partner in crime AND adventure makes an appearance at some point as you two are GREAT together.. not mention we could use a little ORANGE in this world of yours.. ;)

Looks like a great start! I`m excited for the next episode

Great Video as always! Thank you!

Center drill fills up faster because the other drills are attached to it, generally is the case

yer doing it. nice. glad you're appreciating this experience. i didn't have jump drives when i did this years ago. but i did get inventive... i'll wait t see what you om across,...

Great idea for this series. I'm looking forward to this. Over 1k hours of SE mainly on planets. Just started an in-space playthrough and watching this I now know where I have been going wrong with power. (I think) 🙃

Cool monster head shaped asteroid at 5:50. Nice, you flew into its mouth

I was really hyped and expecting the new series today and OMG a finding nemo on a Keen's offical server it's an amazing idea! PS: i just heard what the entire plan is and.... nevermind it's not a great idea 😂😂

Just a note, the Keen servers do spawn new spawn ships within 20-50 km of existing players in space. Also, the Strong Unknown Signals will spawn within 20 km, I think, of a player that is online in space. So, I kind of give people an idea where others on the server are. Also, the server will still run your grids while you are offline. That means if you are not online and run out of power, they will be deleted. But, the plus side is that the cobalt can be refined while you are offline.

Hi Splitsie. Got to say that love this series idea. I will be waiting for each notification :)

This was so refreshing to watch....after months of designing stuff in the game....I think I might do this for a while :)

You can do a cross shaped drill set up with just 4 drills and still mole (tunell) mine. Leaving a spot for a pressurized cockpit (or just the helm console)in the middle, allowing you to place corner lights at the front. The suit lights a still better thou. And a small large grid hydrogen tank will last surprisingly long on a dedicated hydrogen powered cross shaped mining ship.

Great idea, good luck. Watched and Liked 👍

Started to worry that I started a new game in space two weeks after Splitsie, the fact that he has progression proves he's on a different server than me....phew. Thank you for the trick to get around respawn pods though, that is a game changer

Forgot about you, good to see you're alive :)

Found the direction he's traveling; Since he's so far away, there's barely any parallax, so you can use the skybox as a reference for direction. The unit vector direction he's traveling in is (-0.9286153, -0.37076, -0.01457) and if you negate it, and multiply it by his distance,(if the "Home" marker is at the origin/earth) you get his approximate position. His position where he ended the video is probably close to (228495916, 9122961, 3569672). Do keep in mind, his marker is most likely not at the origin, and could be only just close enough to visually see the planets. There's also a bit of error in the measurement, about 53.3 arcseconds. So just keep in mind that the further you go out the further you'll have to search from the unit vector line. The current width of the area you'll have to search, at the distance Splitsie is at, is about 32Km around. Good hunting ;)

31:57 It doesn't matter how many hours you have played, you will always learn something new. Using the Ctrl key to rotate 90° is a great feature, thanks.

Poor man, no sneaky sounds. That mod is a blessing, thanks for it!

Something I usually do with space starts is I put in some freight crates in the cockpit of the ship to store materials I can't quite use yet, then I pull 'em out when I'm able to refine them.

It is good to see another public server series from you. With so many things outside of your control, it is a good challenge to stretch your engineering and editing skills. Some server quarks to look forward to in the vanilla game without experimental mode. Space Engineers Keen Public Server BINGO Server lag kills Engineer (rubber banding rampage) Server lag causes ship damage Sub Grids Teleported to 0;0;0 (Earth-like Core) Kang takes a Tribute! All gasses disappear; hold your breath! Sim Speed bottoms out, take a swim Rollback; do 10 minutes of work again Die while offline in a plumbed and powered Cryo Chamber Find all ores before Cobalt! Something is broken? Only solved by quick reconnect (F5) Hacker/Script kiddy rage Server is full, play again later Server location revealed by Global Chat Passenger damages the ship Acquire LCD Messages/items from passersby while offline Forget to unlock portion of the tech tree before starting upgrade Never hit 20k PCU limit Distracted by player made server event Willingly Engage in PVP

Wow, I forgot the build progression was even a thing. Bit of a throwback. I imagine your upper and lower drills get more full when you sweep the ship mainly side-to-side, and the central drill gets next to nothing. That classic SE music at the end was a great choice. Those tracks are very nice and it just has that vanilla feel.

I'm loving this!

that intro is so creative

using the SE music is a really nice touch ^^

for stop the kidnapped engineer from demolishing the house, maybe you can put a block above the cryochamber and set up a gun behind the block, that way the engineer has a big meal to eat when he wakes up....XD

Does this mean 2 videos a week?! YAY double the splitsie!!! Now we just need to add Capac in to throw a literal wrench into the works ;)

Very interesting idea!

this made me realize that i've never done a space-start in SE before. ill have to try at some point

cant wait for the next one

15:50 Aaaahhhh, so that's why. my first experience of keen server is that my pod disappeared, even though I built stuff on it and expanded beyond. also playing with the drill/welder/grinder/piston block limitations I usually made an perpetual extendable drill rig because I'm too lazy to make a ship small enough for coring an asteroid kekw 37:42 what a foreshadowing

Ok, im here for it. I'm hopeful for a fruitful series.

15:20 I didnt know I could do this with a respawn ship. I just did it with my rover and it worked. ty!

The Twiglet flys!

You had a nice smooth time on that server. Quite often when I play on keen official its a laggy nightmare. The connector small grid cargos is absolutely genius man. I am kicking myself for not thinking of that! Maybe start with the outlier planets once you reach the center. Earth/Mars/Luna/Europa are usually hotbeds for player pirates!

im cant wait to watch more!

I am new to the game. Picked it up and didn't like it but I am getting back into it. Another guy started a playthrough and showed me there is a LOT to the game I had never seen. I hope I get to see some cool stuff my dude! You seem to know a tun from what I can tell. I might want to try this game on a multiplayer server some day. Still learning the ropes though for now. Thanks for the play through!

Nice to see you doing solo SE again. It's been a while.

Never played online, except with friends on a private server. Excited to see what will happen.

Cool, new series.

Wow, what a lucky guy you are! In my last survival at space I ended up with all asteroids full of Nickel and Ice.... And I literally mean all of them in 17 cluster zone and I given up.

Amazing video!

The ending was good ill definatly be in a cryo find me on earthlike

If you turned off your hydrogen engines at 31 minutes in you can save som hydrogen think of the little things

The GPS location of the exact center of the Earthlike planet on all Keens servers is the default GPS when creating a new GPS location; 0,0,0.

Good Luck Splitsie! If you're going to hide out in rocks, I might suggest changing your ship's exterior to match the color to the asteroids you're hiding in. Snap off the lights and engines and snuggle in close. Might give you an edge in hiding from the hungry marauders that inhabit those servers lol.

It's an interesting approach. I find that by grinding down all of the Ramp blocks and thin wedges on the top, I have room to fit 4 solar panels. Then by aligning my ship on the Y axis of the universe, as long as everything but my Survival Kit is powered off, I can leave the ship unattended for days, and come back to fully charged batteries. That's usually the first thing I build on a new space pod. Later on I will add the basic production and usually a rotor drill head. Storage will usually have to wait until I find cobalt, but I like the trick of small grid storage. I'll remember that for next time.

5:45 that asteroid looked like a sharks head lol

Thank you so much for showing me that the “sun shines through walls” bug is 100% part of SE. Now I won’t have to fiddle with graphics drivers! Very annoying bug to me..

wow... splitsie on keen server O.o this is madness!! haha but refreshing at the same time going back to basics will be interesting and hopefully eventfull :p cheers!!

Imagine you play space engeneer and see random ship fly by, later you watxh your favorite SE youtuber (mine is splitsie) and see toyr ship in background

I love watching other people on Keen servers - lol - too many grievers for me to enjoy it. :)

its here!!!

A new series on a Keen vanilla server! This will be very interesting 😅

My general rule with H2 engines is to have at least two O2/H2 generators per H2 engine. I also take this approach when building H2 ships, where each large H2 tank should have at least three O2/H2 generators (preferably 4). Not the fastest, but that's a good rule of thumb if you want a net positive in H2 production under normal operating conditions, while minimizing power consumption. The new event controller, of course, helps even more with power management, as O2/H2 generators drain a good amount of power while active.

And the scramble begins to find what server

I'm playing on the vanilla server right now too. And the one thing I instantly miss is build vision lol

trusting the game to work to such an extent you’re using official servers is very very brave

Looks like an agglomeration zeppelin because your original ship is basically just a gondola below the stuff clamped on top.

The hunt for Splitsie is now on

Yo Splitsie, I tend to add the drill on to the survival kit, removing only the one right side angled window, it still keeps it airtight despite a small visible gap. I also add a cryopod to the opposite side of the cockpit, symmetrical with the survival kit.

You can space out large ship drills by one pipe to get maximum mining area with max mining speed. Thus you wouldn't have to shrink your ship at all Upping the radius and lowering the fall off of the spot light also would light up everything at the front of your ship
