This Useful Signal Update Trick Wasn't Mentioned, Space Engineers

A short video on an unmentioned thing with how receivers antenna can work with the new action relay block from the new Signal update and DLC on Space Engineers which can be very useful as well as allowing us to do things we couldn't do practically or effectively before, especially on multiplayer survival

If you don't mind a full-range broadcast, you can set a self-triggering timer to extend the range fully, then another to shrink the range after an elapsed time. Cheaper than 2 antennas. very cool trick!

Yeah I tried with only a single antenna too before c= and just press the button manually to increase the range xD it's just less buggy and more convenient with 2 antennas though x3 but yeah 1 antenna would be cheaper on the PCU and more space-efficient as well u wu and thanks baal x3 ♥

What benefits would this give when having a shorter range antenna and a longer range antenna?

@LucaTheGuide Ай бұрын

Just faster and more convenient to turn on and off instead of having to lower range and lowering the range can have this bug where the signal might still be visible too which is one of the reasons I decided to go with two antennas x3

Im in love with this update already. :D I have one stupid idea that sure everyone have already too. Something like retaliate drone strike if is main base attacked. Laser antena is connected to signal relay, signal relay activate cheap drone swarm or suicide drones. And these just fly to fight enemy that damaged base enough at predefined GPS coordinates. All automated.

I have a question. Can we use the action signal to make drones return to base?. What are requirements for drone and the place it lands to make it work?. I have 12 drones I got set up to launch off my carrier, can the action relay be used to make them return without using event controller actions?.

It should be possible c= maybe by like setting up a remote control block that has a one-way waypoint remotely activated by the new action relay block x3 or for a dynamic return point like a carrier it might be possible to have an AI task block with a beacon setup as the return point remotely activated by the action relay block for example c=

@brandonsmith6068 Ай бұрын

@@LucaTheGuide yeah I’m trying to experiment with it. So basically my carrier has the antenna dish, beacon, remote control. My drones just have the antenna. They are all programmed to leave the carrier and do whatever else. But I have to use event controllers or timers to make them come back. As a test I added an action signal to a drone ( small grid ), and an action signal to my carrier ( large grid )… they’re both set to channel 1. I then added the setup on my carrier signal to send a signal to trigger the “RTB”, return to base, on my drone , but it didn’t activate my timer for the RTB.. maybe I’m missing something or we can’t yet press a button for them all to return.

thank you sir for this idea

Mate, thank you for explaining it, I really wanted to have a satellite drone in space checking which is safe and all, and there was no tutorials for it, so thank you mate, you deserve tea, have a good one. 👍

most(all?) antenna stuff works like that, *recieving* antenna only needs to be turned on, range doesnt matter, only the *transmitting* antenna needs to have a sending radius

Hi Luca. Will you preview the new Space Engineers Signals Update soon (Signals Update - Signal Pack DLC)? There about 64 new blocks.

@AQILUQ_ Ай бұрын

yes, good idea 🙂🙂 i have always liked watching these kinds of videos

@LucaTheGuide Ай бұрын

Yeah I'll make make videos about the new blocks that can be used for things the old blocks can't do when I find them c= x3

@badblinco 24 күн бұрын

I use a timer block turn on antenna, sensor signal and then turn off signal all in the same bar, it doesnt even show your antenna, only good for single signals though or warning messages

@AQILUQ_ Ай бұрын

great idea 😆😆😆 For Luca and people who have access to multiplayer and friends, can you make a sort of signal jammer by making a device that cycles through the channels and activating them one by one, then transferring ownership to a different faction? im not familiar with how multiplayer factions work

@LucaTheGuide Ай бұрын

x3 ♥ and yeah I'm already thinking about that as well c= and another device that uses a similar principle x3 don't think the ownership of the block can be changed to different factions that we're not a member of though u wu x3

I see no one talking about the respawn changes and how important setting up somthing like this is for turning off safe zones so you can actually spawn at your shielded base! Please make a video for that and any information i am missing. As well as maybe a comunication system i can use as atm im stuck needing to be in range of antanas or setting up lazer antanas. Witch is a pain.

@damonweedon9865 Ай бұрын

couldn't you make an automated docking system by having the receivers triger a timer to move your ship and lower it into a landing pad?

@LucaTheGuide Ай бұрын

That should be possible in conjunction with some of the AI or remote control blocks c= it's already possible before but it would be more convenient with the new relay yeah x3 since we don't need to manually access the things we want to land to activate their landing sequence when we need or want them to

@damonweedon9865 Ай бұрын

@@LucaTheGuide maybe it would be possible to detect empty or taken landing pads and move your too the pad automatically
