I'm a new player and this was the most helpful video on getting to space! The only tip i can give for 2024 is to add an antenna to your ship as this will indicate your ship's location in space. Just remember to turn the antenna's broadcast range to max, and only turn it on when leaving the ship then turn it off when returning in order to save power.

Pretty good video. Here's something to keep in mind though. When your ship is docked, or in space, if you keep your hydrogen thrusters on they won't burn fuel unless being throttled. Fuel is only used when hovering, thrust override, or player is using WASD for propulsion.

Not sure if they updated the game but I noticed my hydrogen ships burn a small amount of hydrogen when the thrusters are on. It goes down extremely slow but after a while of being parked it does add up.

Hi :) I just started playing a few days ago, started a ''solar system'' survival mode. I tried a few times to get off the frozen planet I started on, epic failures hehe. Til I saw your video, thanx much, I modified or upgraded mine somewhat, added a drill, an extra o2/h2 gen and 2 fixed gatling guns as well as a landing kit. The landing frame and gears is mostly because I'm goofy, I would hook the ship to a connector high up, turn off all thrusters, then when ready to leave again, I'd unhook from connector, forgetting to turn the thrusters back on hehe, I had a few huge messes, was fun. With the landing kit I got and a special raised platform made with half blocks I can hook to connector while being properly landed, it no longer matters if I remember to turn the thrusters on or off. On my first few landings, I had a hard time, a couple crashes, first ''good'' landing I had to land in emergency 2.5 kms away from my base, ran out of fuel. But now I figured out how to land super easy , I use almost no fuel, till i'm 2 kms above my base. I coast all the way down with the dampeners off, making sure I overshoot my landing spot by quite a bit, I only need a couple minor adjustments on the way down. Final approach from hover, same thing, I tap the dampeners on and off then finish connecting using thrusters. Despite being heavier than yours and coming back home with 40k kg ice and 30k kgs platinum, I landed no problems at all. I'm adding a screenie of my little ship, the Spitton II, poor Spittoon I was destroyed, I know, nothing much but I like it, I guess it's noobie excitement hehe, again thank you for your video. i.imgur.com/vurv6Xs.jpg

Took your build and added a few things. Placed rear thrusters above and below the main, in addition to the 2 on the side you had. I also took the mats for a solar panel and slapped it in front of the battery when i got into 0g. You took off with 28k, but this thing flew with no problems loaded down with 120k worth of ice and mats for a refinery, survival kit, battery, and solar panel... wish I had brought more now. made it to space with 85% hydro. currently at 50% and heading towards my 3rd asteroid.

With the large small grid tank I ended up running out of ice, then out of battery power and died before I ever took off the ground, lol...

The problem I have with small hydrogen thrusters is that they burn more fuel per unit of thrust and weight more per unit of thrust then the large hydrogen thrusters. Of course design is much more difficult with large thrusters. Also, return to earth is easier with parachutes, definitely means you can get most of the way down without burning hydrogen, and worse case you come down somewhere in one piece and recover your ship after getting some ice.

Another tip, set controls to increase and decrease thrust on the large thruster. As the g force goes down decrease the thrust (it will consume less hydro for same acceleration) You can get to space using way less hydrogen. Still keep enough ice to recharge though, you still need it to get around in space, but at least you save it up. Good tip if you have a large load (taking materials to make your first station into space from a main base)

I’m not surprised you usually need the efficiency mod with that flying. Either turn off reverse thrust, or dampeners off the whole time. Never burn while at max speed. Never try to reach space at an angle. Straight up uses the least fuel. You’ll find you use less than half the fuel. You can get a 4,000,000kg ship to space, starting at 1g grav on less than half a large tank with no mods.

This isn't working for me. :( I initially built it in survival mode making a few changes, like adding the second H2O2 gen, the large cargo cont. (by mistake because in your video you say large when you added it, but medium later on and I noticed my container didn't look the same) and after a few attempts to release the lock it collapsed to the ground. I took out the extra parts and filled the gaps with conveyor frames, but that didn't help any, so I scrapped it all and tried again using the exact parts and sequences in your video, but it still wouldn't work. I switched to creative and followed it again and I still can't get it to fly. My hydrogen tank will not fill even a single ounce. not even in creative mode. Is there a setting I'm missing? So frustrated. I have an atmospheric ship that works for about 30 mins to mine as much Ice as I can carry, but this ship will not fly.

I tricked my system into letting me build over top of the connector, then let the ship's collector fall down onto it. You have to give the Base collector two small blocks of space from any object you want to place, so the fall is not really far enough to damage either of them. This base collector is recessed to be plate level to my deck. To power the cockpit and connector I put a temporary battery on the nose of the cockpit. once the ship was locked I was able to add all of the modules and this time the thrusters I added to the rear of the ship ignited. That was something I noticed on the last build, that the rear of the ship didn't seem powered even though the battery was was on the Cargo hold that they were attached to !?! Anyway, Off to bed now with two fully charged batteries and 11K Ice in the hold with the H2/O2 gen full as well. I have a busted hot water heater to deal with tomorrow, so I need my sleep. Thanks for the info. Oh, BTW I did use the large cargo container, so we'll see if the extra weight is going to be a problem.
