Very good! Just a minor note - the despawning of unpowered blocks is merely a common public server rule to keep processing demands down when people abandon things. It's not inherent to the game. If you play on your own server or a single player, you can have bits remain as long as you like.

truly a new era for this game!

The production level on the tutorial is so high it really deserved more views

There is something I would like to add with the dampers part. You jet pack and thrusters have different values for dampening and actual movement. I have no clue why but that is the case. Actual movement has less power than dampening. Some mods make use of that value like the niteowl naval mod. It is a perfect example of the different values. One of the “thrusters” are called inertial dampeners. Movement with it is terrible but damping is great. If you need an other example that is vanilla, then here is one that you can try. Heavy ships need lots of thrusters going up, of course. If you build with thrusters already keeping the ship up (not recommended) then you can tell if it can support its own weight. But then you try to go up and you go down instead. That is another example of the stronger dampener value.

What are your hot tips for Space Engineers? Mine is always make a blueprint of anything you build by pushing Ctrl + B

[Nervoknight]

My hot tip: have a creative designing world- the game is brutal if you have to research and develop on limited resources and hydrogen. design, test, save blueprint and then have a welding grid in your survival world to bring your creations to life.

also get familiar with the miror tool for designing. (N to toggle on and off, M to set or remove mirror axis' on a focused block)

[FormalRiceFarmer]

this is really well written and entertaining, good job!

Great work, hilarious...fantastic intro

[ChozoSR]

You forgot that you can also buy materials at outposts. Also yes, yes there are controller bindings for Space Engineers. They're not great, but they exist.

The amount of times I build a space ship out of corners is 1 too many times.. :(

This game is the most sofisticated virtual lego ever made :- 1

I just got the game and am wondering if there is an easier way to learn how to play? This tutorial was way more helpful than any that I've seen so far and was wondering if you could point me in the direction of learning better?

[Bubbagaming]

For basic survival 6/10 covers very basic functions but skips out on how it goes together to make ships and the like for creative 3/10 would benefit showing the m and n keys the f678 keys and f10 Ctrl v and the like new players will benefit learning more about conveyors and how to rotate blocks lastly explain mods and how to get them

Me watching with 600+ hours playtime ._.

Im 40 hours in and haven’t got to space yet 😂

[VolcanoQueen]

your forgetting that your able to turn off progression, also it's better if you turn off all of your mods before making a "tips" video, and it would have been way better if you actually did some research on this game, would have helped you so much more on this
