I remember a few months ago on an unmodded single-player survival world setting up a base on an asteroid that happened to be close to a pirate station that would periodically send drones over. It got to the point where I set up a system of turrets. I found the debris (Uranium from reactors, ammo from guns, etc) would continue drifting towards me after the drones were destroyed, so I was able to set up an artifical gravity spherical generstor to attract and collect all that periodic and free Uranium (the ammo and components were a boon as well)

Gonna lobby here for my own mod :) the wasteland tire thieves go well together with abandoned settlements but has some planet requirements and in some cases some more setup with MES settings

This video is going to my “helpful space engineers stuff” play list!
Thanks Luna!
Don’t worry it’s a private play list!

It's crazy how much life these mods bring to survival

[ChozoSR]

Can always count on Lunar to to be straight-forward and to the point with these things; Legend! Edit: spelling errors

Sadly as a console user, you can’t use them…unless you’re on a server

[ImadZeryouh]

Dont understand why u cant farm and drink water to survive. Basicly they have furniture and everything but cant use it. Did they got bought out?

[whereuwannabe]

Are any of these mods compatible or do you have to use one at a time? I know with Modular Encounters you should untick the spawn cargo ships option in settings.

[kinngrimm]

2:25 when using the different sub mods, can you include more than one of these factions?
If so, are they only hostile towards you or also against each other?
If not, is there a way to make them also battle each other?

[artzehnhoffman]

Hey lunar, can you do some building ships videos? I love it (sorry mi english im brasilian)

[averagechadlegionary]

Which ones can I go without and which ones are a must? I don’t really know what to choose but I want my world to feel more alive but I also wanna have controlled spawning for creating scenarios.

[StarWarsExpert_]

Do I have to create a new survival world when I want new NPC factions other than the regular vanilla economic ones and piraes, to spawn? Do I have to add these mods all before creating the world?

I cant actually find star ststem to start with then when i do start up a map usually home ststem i cant find the mod your talking about, on the very frustrating side ive found mods that tell me i need the modular encounter system. Someone please help

[umbratherios]

Do any of these mods acctually add npc's that attack YOU, the PLAYER and your BASE?

I have pretty much all of these mods and nothing attacks me, ever, but I have a METRIC TON of waypoints and targets I can go to and attack for myself. Defence seems to be totally nonexistant, especially on planets.

[CMDROldDuck]

Do these mods work on any world, including DLC planets, or are they hand crafted for specific locations on specific planets?

[ugib]

Can't speak highly enough of these mods. I have the imber/parralax/incon/reavers running on my current game. Getting high enough threat that reavers are spawning planetside with frequency. They actually sent out a radio broadcast with the screaming of their victims last night. Scared the piss outta me.

Pity ACS isnt vanilla friendly. Need Shower lights mod to work, and needs dlc... Meh. Wish I could get some drones inc.

I do have a question though. Do you know how to mess with the frequency of spawns? I imagine its somewhere in the command console. I want to mess around with a pirate only world, and ramping up the encounters will help me obtain more mats to build with.

[bobbuilder]

how does the game react to adding mod's mid game on a playthough?

[gogeta]

How game breaking is it to add the mods in after. A game has already been played for a while?

[ShadowlessNevermore]

question whats the ship you spawned in at the end called? and is it on workshop somewhere?

[markmasters]

Does MES only work for pc or can I use it with Xbox
