This is the second video in a tutorial series to guide new and old players alike through Space Engineers survival from the very beginning and through to the point where ridiculous builds seem plausible.

This video shows how to build a mining ship that's balanced for the early game. Not too expensive to build, easy to fly and as forgiving as possible to new pilots.

If you would like the blueprint of the mining ship you can find it here:

If you would like to play this exact start I've published them on both the steam workshop and mod.io and will have a short guide up on how to use them soon

If you have any tutorial topics you'd like me to cover in the coming videos please let me know in the comments. If you've got burning questions about how to do something, ask here and I'll do my best to answer.

I have made an older series that aside from the lack of food is still accurate which you can follow along with here while waiting for the latest series to catch up    • Beginning Survival - Space Engineers Survi...
