Space Engineers - Absolute Beginners Guide - Base and Ship Building

[CeliniaGava]

I NEVER and I mean NEVER watch YouTube videos over 1 hour, but I am watching every minute of this! After several false starts trying to figure out Space Engineers on my own, I found your video. EXCELLENT, step-by-step instructions on what to do and WHY! Just one hour in and I had a good understanding of the basic gameplay loops. I look forward to ALL of your videos in the future!

I watched the entire video and built everything my first day playing, I feel very confident now. Amazing guide so far ahead of most YouTubers.

I bought this game when it first released on steam and have over 1k hours now. When I started I got lost in red vs blue for hours with no idea what I was doing. I wish something like this video had been available back then.
Well done Steve.

When you are flying to or from places to get the drop pods, you should have your drill equipped so you can potentially see any ore deposits you fly over.

[loftythesoftie]

This was soo helpful. Thanks undisputed 👍

[Major-Dan]

Just a suggestion, when you first appear in the drop pod at the start, hitting K and setting the ore detector range to max will identify ore within range of your landing location.

[frankenberry]

I like your video.

I suggest that when transferring the med kit from the drop pod to your new base you weld it up to 100%, especially after mentioning how you need to have it operational for re-spawn. If you do the minimum then one unfortunate ding from anything and you loose your spawn point.

Perhaps I've landed on hills too much but I like to leave one working landing gear on the drop pod, ether that or a pad of some sort on the down hill side, not that anything (cough) ever happened when I didn't.

Instead of chasing rocks rolling away from you dig a small pit slightly down hill from the bolder your are mining.

Emptying gravel from your base every so often is a good idea. It can be automated.

great video!
for real, rly good job on simplify this game :D

[CocoaBeachLiving]

Thanks. I've been trying to get my head around how best to start👍🚀

[MrBuyerman]

This us a great primer, and you're correct that you only need to weld to 80%, but the way you're doing it, you're wasting components by putting them in, but not welding to 100%. Manually adding components gives you some control over this.
