Empyrion Tutorials 2022 - 5 things you didn't know about Empyrion!

Whats a POA?

how do you set the factory to show the parts needed it only shows the ingots needed in my game

Thank you! I didn't know about the 'O' key. Cheers.

Please never say "alt" again.

I wish you could adjust the height of the first person camera. It’s about stomach height and too low for me. Feels weird.

So what is your ship called the one at start as on workshop you got more then one

I have 576 hrs in empyrion and I didn't know about the mining angle in the bottom right. I just never noticed it also my hud would randomly dissappear and I thought It was a glitch looks line I was just accidentally hitting f6 😆. I also didn't know about the weapon order on vehicles. That's pretty cool thanks always nice to find out new things.

I want to fly around with a Space Strip Club. Is there a tutorial how to buy and deploy crews and dancers?

Very useful, thank you.

Its a good tutorial, but if I might offer advice.. I know you're trying to build a hook, an 'image' to attract new viewers. But the slight change in voice doesn't create the illusion of having a second person there, it just makes it sound like you're talking to yourself. Its very distracting and takes away from the production. You have a decent content creator voice. Just keep offering up good, detailed information, and people will come. No need to do the weird secondary voice that is a little gruff but mostly just sounds like you.

Well I didn't know about the hotbar order but I really never thought about it. But did you know that you can also hit alt to use the key board to precisely fly you ship while being able to move your view around to make sure you don't hit a ship you want to park right next to? It's great for precise landings.

I’ve seen a few of your videos so far, and have found some great info! But my lord the way you say “Alt”😅

Ha I played this game a lot over the last couple years and I learned a few things here, awesome stuff thanks for your help! Can't believe I didn't know some of those!

I talk to my imaginary friend, too. His name is Skippy and he's very evil.

Nice, I didn't know about the degree angle when using the hand drill! By the way, the actual order of the vehicle tools goes from the left side of the vehicle to the right, not necessarily from outside to in. That's how I understand it, anyway.

"Frame per seconds", lol.

Another topic that would be useful to cover is "How Connected Toolbars Work." It's confusing.
I think they only work for either (a) picked-up items, or (b) salvaged items. One of the two will go into the inventory you selected for the connected toolbar, but the other will go into your own inventory. Which is which, I don't recall. I've done my own experiments, but always end up feeling, "This is really wonky, I don't understand it."

Did not know the Alt key view adjustment. That will be so useful for ships that have the behind view set at a weird angle.

5 things I definitely knew already. I'm sure someone else mentioned it but ctrl+(direction thrust)= cruise control

Eg; while holding W, tap CTRL then release W and you will maintain the speed you were travelling forward when you tapped CTRL

Thanks guys, i'm new to GE and i picked up a couple of things.

can you do a tutorial on the hand drill and using filler and flattening?

All legitimate comments! Great work!

Something you may not know that alt(al-t) is pronounced as in (alt)-ernative [ault].

Dude great video! Super Helpful!

One thing you probably didn't know. The pronunciation of ALT. It is an abbreviation of 'Alternate' 😂

Those are all good tips. The game doesn't do a good job of advertising that functionality. The one about toolbar order in ships is not well known at all. Very good item to point out.
If you're looking for other video topics there's a little known way to convert those "Crashed Capitol Vessel" POIs you find back into a CV. Most of them aren't worth the trouble but there's a couple that can be a good early game CV without too much work. It involves moving some files around in the game save so it's not something everyone would be interested in doing. If you want an overview of the process let me know and I can add another comment on the process. (But it won't hurt my feelings if you aren't interested).

Nice short to the point video. I have been looking for Some more Empyrion channels. Subbed! A good topic for a tutorial would be covering the crazy bugs you can come across, and how to get out of the situations using console commands. Like when you get stuck in a block, or if your CV goes berserk bronco on you (that sometimes happens when docking, undocking an SV inside) and you need to jump into god mode to fix the situation.

So annoying that you can't set the order of your sv/hv hotbar arbitrarily. meh. :)

Some more things you might not know:

Press I to toggle ship stabilization mode (auto brake), this way you can glide in space and save fuel. In space there are 2 modes, in atmosphere there are 3 modes (see little icon on the bottom right).

When flying on a planet, you can press Ctrl while holding W and then releasing both to set cruise speed. You can have the ship fly while you manage your inventory or look at the map.

How do I eat when I'm sitting on the ship?

thanks, I found some I didn't know😎

Nice video. Great editing.

Another good one. I actually learned something new - hadn't thought about adjusting the character's third-person view by hitting the Alt key. Suggestion for another video: While levers and sensors can get complicated fast, just the simple setup for basic settings "might be" helpful as well as noting the benefits to power consumption and quality of life.
