Space Engineers: Getting Started in Survival (Tutorial Series #1)

This is the start of a tutorial series to guide new and old players alike through Space Engineers survival from the very beginning and through to the point where ridiculous builds seem plausible.

If you haven't yet bought Space Engineers and decide you want to here's an affiliate link to use :)

This video covers everything I do during my first day in survival. From how to get your first assembler and refinery built, how to power them to what useful items are available on your drop pod.

If you have any tutorial topics you'd like me to cover in the coming videos please let me know in the comments. If you've got burning questions about how to do something, ask here and I'll do my best to answer.

"We go to our G menu, which is done by pressing... G" *furiously writes down*

[evilbluekoala]

With a game with this steep of a learning curve, you explain everything extremely well and concisely. Can't wait to watch the rest of the playlist.

This is easily the most user friendly and informative tutorial out there currently that I've seen. Looking forward to the next episode.

Great video, as always!

Got about 8 hours into the game, just playing through some of the prefab scenario stuff. Decided I was going to go into creative and build a ship. Failed miserably, twice.
Really appreciate these tutorials. Gives me a better grasp of where I should be starting and how to do it. Looking forward to more hours in this surprisingly detailed game.

I think this is the only game I’ve played where renewable energy is the default

Me: doing everything exactly as he does.


Also Me: Messes up horribly

[razialnightfire]

This series taught me all the basics I needed to know and I have always recommended this series to friends and family that get the space engineers game.

Watched 20 hours of your tutorial and play videos when I first got the game. I've now shown multiple designs, ideas, and possibilities to 5 other friends. Great videos man! Glad that you're getting the fanfare that you deserve! And of course, thank you for making all these videos. It's been instrumental to my own learning experience in the game.

"The most commonly used is Star System" - which is at the bottom of the list, on the third tab of the "new game" ui. I don't get SE's UI/UX design. I think the new menu in Medieval Engineers is light- years ahead.

[Snoogen]

Just started building my first out of orbit base, on survival :) Thank you for all the videos, you got me from earth to space on survival for the first time.

I bought space engineers 2 days ago and was completely lost. This video answered a shit ton of questions i had in the first 10 minutes, thank you 🤟🤟💯

[Ghost_The_Mercenary]

Still can't get over how mesmering the into song comes in, I can listen to it for hours and constantly be motivated to go to space, and after every setback, going to this video with this into song gets me back up

[mikeericee]

This is an amazing tutorial series, my friend and I recently got into the game and were bewildered by the vast ui and menus and possibilities etc etc, this has helped so much. Thank You!!

[tomstakvik]

The best toturial of SE play so far, you know your stuffs 🤘

[scorpioncoreuniverse]

Great job on explaining everything I've told anyone and everyone that you are the man to watch when it comes to explaining space engineers and they've come back and telling me that you're awesome so keep up the great work.

[Safilpope]

Thanks for this tutorial, I bounced off SE hard a couple years ago as I had no idea what I was doing. This gave me a really good grasp of what I need to do without much effort or confusion

[Hemm]

Thank fucking god. finally someone who does a tutorial vid that either doesn't go too fast or goes so slowly i want to pluck my own eyes out

[recklesflamngo]

Thanks to your tutorials, I've finally started actually getting into SE, but previously I kept stopping after a few hours due to being overwhelmed at all the systems, ect (and also having a crappy PC until 2yrs ago) despite buying the game around 2015-ish.

I really, *really* enjoy games where you can just build and mess around with creations (like Besiege, for example or even Minecraft) and sometimes forget there is always a learning curve that I just have to force myself to eventually overcome lol.

On another note I wish I watched these 1.5 weeks ago, not now when I only have a few days of annual leave left :/
