Space Engineers: Survival Mod Collection (2019)

I think Ion Thrusters got Nerfed due to Platinum which is needed for Thruster comps. not being on the planet unless you've got meteors turned on and get a little lucky with RNG. I will admit I tend to use the Better Stone Mod so I know the table has more to roll on so I don't know how much it would pop up with vanilla.

Many handy mods here! Thanks! :)

I think the power consumption of ions should go up exponentially with atmospheric pressure, so that taking off with ions would require so much power that the reactor structure alone may be too heavy in thrust to weight

A mod I use to balance out thrusters is the Epstein drive mod, because it adds a 4th tier of engine that gives a lot of thrust, for little fuel, but is very very expensive, it also has a loud boom any time you accelerate so you can’t just use them as maneuvering thrust, and it can be as small as 3x3 all the way up to 11x11, and this mod balances out the thrusters because now ion has to compete with 30m/s acceleration corvettes that can strike both on ground and in space

Space cannot be cold! Vacuum doesn't spread temperature! Which means the problem is cooling down, not warming up. Especially when exposed to sunlight. Normally you sweat to get cold, so you exchange high temperature with the environment via evaporation. In space wearing a space suit you have nowhere to sweat out into. You keep all yours. There's no wind to dry your sweat, there's nothing to exchange air with. So without artificial cooling systems you get boiled alive in your suit. Not get cold.

So I play on console and gave been wanting to add some more realistic mods to the game such as the Aerodynamic atmosphere and would absolutely love to get the quieter tools but can't. I dont know the difficulties involved with roofing these over to console and maybe the Aerodynamic one is to much for an Xbox to handle but a quieter tool would be just perfect 👌. I absolutely loved this video it contains everything I wish I could have in my game and more.

nice. I think I'll put them in my game.

Ion trhusters arnt good for use only in space even when i play vanila i stil use hydro because its just like cool and also we humans in real life dont got eficent working ion engines well some that work bud arnt viable yet sow i like in most cases to use stuf we got in real life stil lile to build cool ships bud in terms of when i play surv i mostly use hydro and atmo thrust

Yes I'm gonna enjoy this game 10x more now

One issue, blocks are owned by other player. Does it change the ownership suddenly or do you now have blocks connected to your ship you can not use

I want a ballistic plate mod. or something like it. where it's a thin, potentially very heavy, high resource sheet, similar to the size of a catwalk, but not completely edge to edge, that you can place on the side of armor blocks or what have you, and adds considerable ballistic armor. as in protection from bullets and debris, but not much else. not explosives or lasers. maybe even double layer. so you place this around critical areas and it'll add a good bit of texture and strategic reinforcement. you could even potentially do a cool looking spaced armor effect using things like pillars or whatever.

I like Splitsie's "survival less likely" mode, makes finding veins of iron, nickel, and silicon much more important and nerfs the jetpack at the same time.

can you do an update to this video? please and thank you!!

Are there more of these?

I really need that garage from the video.

The game is tedious enough as it is. No thanks

Can someone tell me the name of the last mod that u need to eat rest and that stuff

The mod that makes you lose stuff when you grind doesn't work to force you to weld stuff... if that was in vanilla people would just accept the lost components and just build another one... it's the player that chooses to pretend that he "has to" take a built one and merge into position... if you want to challenge yourself to build things and after building weld it in position, you can do it without the mod that turns grinded stuff into broken stuff...

It's kind of stupid to use that mod... just weld it because you want to, you don't need to pretend that you cant just grind and rebuild

Is the atmospheric drag mod compatible with cheat mods or does the damage simply ignore shields?

where is the mod pack?

thats babylon 5. NOICE!

Hydrogen thrusters are almost mandatory for a multirole mining ship. In fact, my mining ship in my current playthrough is exclusively hydrogen. right down to its power source. Hydrogen engine, hydrogen thrusters, and storage.

Are you tired of living?

These mods make the gameplay more challenging, but sadly they make the game even longer and slower paced :/ I can see how it can be fun though, its definitely a cool difference. With these mods I feel like the game goes from a planetary sandbox to a base maintenance simulator.

you forgot to put the scaffolding mod tho

I agree 100% on the hydro. I never use it because you go through it way to fast. The sheer volume of ice needed for a very short amount of flying time always boggled me.

I plan on doing a survival series that'll be using these mods, been wanting to do something that'll challenge my creativity and engineering skills. Thank you for the mod list, definitely will be checking them out soon.

I have avoided any sort of Food mods because I didn't want another bar to keep track of. Based on your suggestion I'm going to give Daily Needs a try.

MORE! Thank you so much!

Well technically instead of removeing the ions all together why don't we have wires I mean the fact you can just slap a reactor onto a ship doesn't make sense are the not armor blocks for a reason

Some of the Mods seem damn good and I'll try them (when I get back from holidays)

umm ion thrusters are built to use hardly no fuel and last forever so it works like it suppose to.

Can anybody tell me what mod it is that creates those solar panel shapes at the beginning of the video?

now where is your lets play with this mod collection?

I hate any easy mode stuff, with survival games I really need a reason to go there, explore that, build this etc or it looses its apeal

man you're making me blush with all this "makeing survival more complex" talk, if you keep this up your gonna have to put a ring on it.

why you cry about mods? play vanilla then

Look it´s 3 am just ive me a mod list and don´t talk for houres

This is one of your best reviews yet Captain.

Such a helpfull video, especially for someone like me, who never really got beyond slapping random mods from workshop. Thank you man!

I can't find the ladder mod and I want it something bad!

Still missing a companion mod, that allows to tame local fauna, if you were to play solo on survival.

We need all of that in a huge hardcore survival server :)

Where is the link to the scaffolding mod

Great video, but sadly there's no point for any of this, because the game still remains a dead empty universe devoid of any purpose to build any ship, any transport, or any base, apart from sitting in them alone and roleplay that you're doing something useful. Until you get bored of the empty world and boot up From The Depths or Empyrion again instead, games that actually have life in the universe and thus a purpose to do anything.
