Huge thanks for posting this! I was getting nowhere trying to start this scenario solo.

However I do have one problem; I can't detach blocks from random scrap because they belong to a faction with an owner of the name of "Haircut".

Is this intended? Are only some scrap blocks detachable? Or is there some sort of option that I need to change?

Cheers!

How can things appear in space ?
Is there a command ?

McOrigin thank you for sharing your experience!

Having a blast in my current playthough: As a special challenge I did not mine any ice but made it to space with looted hydrogen only.

A single large hydrogen thruster, five small ones and two large atmo engines as boosters, combined with a cockpit, two solar sails and two batteries was enough to lift me and a single large cargo container to space.

Capturing my first large grid space ship was though. Since then I have captured most of what I need: A large hydro thruster, plenty of io thrusters and large cargo containers.

I turned off the jetpack limitation and maybe vanilla encounters will provide more blocks and ressources. If you make it to space let me know how you proceeded.

I love the fact that can find, loot and use blocks of the DLC i do not own.. Now I need to build a large grid plantery lander to pick up some of those large hangar doors.. or visit the moon?

phfor nailed it. I've never started a game that way, so was unfamiliar with the process. I originally stumbled upon how to use "star system" start and spawn in BP's so I thought I could add this planet that way LOL!
The steps 1: Start Space Engineers, 2: look for Community Content tab, 3: choose this
were exactly the information I was missing. Thanks phfor =D

phfor Yes

Wood_[OBC] This is save game file, just subscribe to it and start it in SE. Make sure you are opening correct save game file. You should see Satreus spawn point by default. No need to do anything extra. Your game will automatically download and start all the mods that are in this save game file. If it doesn't work, check consistency of game files in Steam.

Start new game, community content, pick this?

Is there any place that gives instructions to use this?

Attempting to start my own local "scrapyard survival" after playing on friends world. He's setup on Satreus. I can't seem to get started - have all the mods Splitsie talked about, but nobody says how to get from "subscribed to mods" to "playing on Satreus or other planet designed for this mod.

Saying "use f10 and "just spawn it in" doesn't work for me. Though I've subscribed to this and Satreus - there are zero new planets to spawn in - only the default ones... help?

McOrigin I heard Splitsie said it's gonna be working in space as well. If you try it, please kindly provide a response here for others.

Really loving this version of the mod / szenario. Got a nice little base on a large "lake" and collecting stuff an palettes is great.
Got a frew questions, though: If I ever make it to space, is MES going to spawn stuff up there too? Just scrap grids or "live" commercial ships too?
What a bout other planets? I saw some several other planets with the 3rd person camera, is MES going to work there as well?

Well, it was hard to find stuff. I am saying this because the planet was empty, I was just starting. So no wrecks or other grids were preventing new ones from appearing. I found that strange. Because on the default Scrapyard on Pertam, which is a great challenge with its landscape, grids appeared regularly even when I was not looking for one from day one. Thanks for replying btw

Greywolf dunno why it isn't working for you. Here everything works as intended. Maybe try to verify game files integrity in Steam

Well, this mod needs more love. The wrecks and ruins do not spawn for me. I move around for 10 min in a straight line and nothing appears. I am forced to use the /MES.SPI command to actually spawn something which the mod should do and not the players. Actually, the mod should execute that very command after loading a game or starting a new with a timer like 90 seconds or 120 seconds.

Jakobsen you cant change it to online on first start but if you save and load it you should be able to switch when loading.

I've been trying to get this setup as a true offline save, as I currently don't have internet on my desktop. I keep getting errors of corrupted world or paint gun throwing an error bc it can't access the mod info as it's currently in use (?) .. even when using my phones wifi to start a game, then going offline and reload, it will say the world is corrupted and can't be loaded..

is there a setting so the random things despawn after a set amount of time

very odd. may have to remove and reinstall this world and try again.

Jakobsen I can change the game to online or friends, no problem here

Amos Burton. It won't allow me to change it to online

Jakobsen. Did you go to settings and change it to online. its currently set as offline.

why can't I make my game public? My brothers and I are trying to play this series together, but we don't seem to be able to make it multiplayer... any help would be much appreciated

Are there supposed to be enemies if you travel far enough? Splitsie seems to imply there are enemies in the polar regions in his videos but I don't see anything.

@fallen angel Ah ok, well, thank you for letting us know. I thought the 2nd iteration of this scenario is different from the first and mods from it won't work. Good to know. I run my game without it atm and yeah you have to drive a bit further, but I like the challenge. I've added this mod link in description, so ppl can try it themselves.

Yeah I started a new save with it and seems to be spawning a lot faster in it :)

@fallen angel, you are sure it's not that file you edited?

@andywht it makes things spawn quicker as it seems to require less travelled distance and time.

no sound apparently is a bug wth lastest updaate roll back to last one it will work

@Savage_Anger yes, all the mods in save game are enabled. Two mods I've mentioned in description are not there, because Splitsie hasn't added them to the list. You can add them if you want.

are all mods enabled by default?

Well, then copy/paste grid using creative mod, enabled in Alt + F10. Ctrl + X looking at grid and then Ctrl + V so it's not touching ground. Then it should turn the grid into dynamic.

still no drill ;(

Sound works perfectly here. You don't have in game?

anybody else having issues with not being able to enable sound at all

@order66alpha Yeah, I found that turbine as well. Whatever I tried, there was a chunk of voxel I couldn't remove with my drill. There are several ways of solving this. If you have already found a drill, you can mount it on your rover or ship and right click drill it out, or copy/paste the grid in creative mode.

whats the fix for object that are buried but don't come free when you dig them up? i tried convert to ship/station. nothings working.....i really need this wind turbine!

@Fallen Angel in what way?

I found that using the MES Scrapyard Settings mod makes a huge difference

@Solorvox Yes, picking up is tricky, however there are controls: press R to pick up object, then hold LMB, now you can rotate an object with Ins, Del, Home, End, Pgup and Pgdown buttons.
Game is not crashing here at all. Try to verify game files integrity in Steam. Hope it helps.

Not sure if anyone else gets this... but the physics of picking up stuff is so janky and broken the game crashed 4 times in less than an hour. Really unplayable.

@CzBuCHi nope, it should work by itself, this command only forces spawns to appear, in my game they appear with no command. But if you don't wanna drive and wait, you can use it.

@andywht command worked, but im i correct i need to type it every time im looking for something?

@Dark You are most welcome!

thanks for uploading this my son loves to play along with spitsie and he dont always have the time for uploading his stuffs :D

type this command in chat: /MES.SPI

Hey. i tryied this and no spawns where spawning in first 10 minutes ... any idea what is wrong?
