This explains Space Engineers 2 the mechanics of building from scratch and which includes many things I've not seen explained before - e.g. ship weight v engine thrust. Thanks so much for this!

Remove components by grinding in creative mode is like the teacher solving the math the samme method his students do instead of pulling his trick. Peak education, the standard everyone take for granted but essential for the one who actually doing the teaching

Thank you, this is very useful information for newcomers to the game like me. It's strange that the engine descriptions don't include their stats.

Yeah sure, you don't need down thrust, until... you get flipped over... Don't ask me how I know...

So the biggest headache I have is the symmetry mode. The whole process seems convoluted, not explained at all and pretty confusing. The key commands are not intuitive and it can be pretty unclear if anything changes when hitting the respective keys. Additionally, having multiple axis offsets really compounds all the issues. Could you consider making a short video really fleshing out the symmetry mode?

First hauler/miner... the cargo container is pretty worthless. You'd have to add so many small thrusters to be able to carry the max... or even HALF the max... that it would be cheaper and easier to just wait til you can get big thrusters reliably, and do it then. And carrying anything LESS than half what the container can hold... is just wasting the whole thing.

A drill, cockpit, connector, and your backpack, hold enough for an immediate miner/hauler if you find compressors. If you find turbine blades for big atmo thrusters, that's fine, but really, your first cargo hauler should never have a container. It's just not worth it at all. Shouldn't even be considered optional.
