+1 for Space Engineers Dance Dance Revolution.

[ChristopherMocko]

Time to build a ship with a gravity drive controlled by a dance pad.

[williamburden]

this fuckin intro is absolutley glorius ive watched it 5 times

[pistonsjem]

The sensor trick is absolutely brilliant

[crabramen]

That alien space station kinda thing was the coolest build I've seen in space engineers so far!

[b.rreske]

some of the tips in this video. they radically change the game for me.

[skarson]

Holy shit dude that room is totally next level. Your creativity is amazing. And creativity is intelligence having fun.

[kevinpittman]

that light and sensor trick is amazing... so many uses... thank u man...

19:07 I was in a competition where you could not use a seat or turret. We had to fight each other with static weapons. This idea was my original plan but we did not have enough time to set it up.

Very well presented. Your instruction is is easy enough to follow for new players and, judging by other comments here, interesting enough for veteran Space Engineers. Having trained Airmen for nearly two decades, I know that's a rare quality for someone that makes video instruction.

I've been playing SE sinse early 2014, its a great game.
I am really loving your tips and tricks, you learn new stuff everyday in SE and having others, like yourself, to point you towards ideas is what SE is all about.
Thanks for your work and ideas.

Alright, so that last contraption gave me some goofy ideas for a combat ship. Just make the bridge look like a goofy disco room where everyone is just having a blast dancing to some music. But innocently they turn a entertainment cruiser/space yacht into a combat vessel.

Over 2200 hours in the game and still learning some great tips, thanks to you!

[KennyDead]

If the devs did more grated parts like a half grated plate. We could mix the stairs with it.

Great tips. I like how you went back and recapped your older tips with updated information. You should ALWAYS do that when you have something to add. Also, if you throw a link on the screen, it's a great way to get people to watch your previous videos. Here are my additions.
1. Lighting: default white (255, 255, 255) RGB can be a little harsh. Using a shade of grey can soften the light. To get grey, just enter a lower value for the RGB with equal values like (200, 200, 200) or (125, 125, 15), etc. Then adjust the intensity to taste.

2. Your DDR foot controls are a great idea. Where that would really shine would be for pure elevator platforms, especially those that transfer crew/equipment from landed spaceship to a planetary surface. The distance isn't always the same.

3. The half-width staircases are great. But have to be perfectly aligned with gravity. If they are slightly rotated left or right the avatar might get hung up on them and not able to climb or descend. If you put them on a spaceship meant to get into natural gravity or dock with something else using a gravity generator with a field that spills into your grid, you will have issues.

4. Corner lights are also great for connecting stairs or any other blocks where a 90 degree attachment is desired. They are also vanilla.

I can comfortably say this is one of the best compilation of tips ive seen

[lenshibo]

Ive got well over a thousand hours into this game and yet i keep learning so much from these videos! also that intro is incredibly cool

[fangmindalas]

This is awesome, I just got my xbox updated after about a month of no internet and can't wait to get back into it with the ideas you just gave me. Thanks man great work and love the iron man robots, you could even make it so you can have one of those arms fallowing you for a cinematic like thing two. That's great

The dance pad is awesome. It makes me want to make a DJ function. Stepping on each sign to hear a different audio. And trying to mix them together. 😃 Imagine Dj face off contests in S.E.
