Nice, best guide ever!
Tnanks!
Once your miners are hard at work, I'd definitely recommend applying this knowledge and getting auto-miners in as many sectors as you can. Each miner will pay for the next, and before you know it you'll be making money faster than you can spend it.
1-2 mils from doing fetch quests? Are you kidding, its so boring.
6:37 visible confusion 😮
Small tip for the Spiral-Scouting:
Ctrl + Right click sets "fly and wait" command to the position you selected. No extra right click menu needed.
Also works if you want a fleet to attack multiple enemy ships or stations: Ctrl + Rightclick automatically sets an attack order.
Finally straightforward and clear to understand guide to X4, though youtube thinks it is space engineers 😀
Does this work if i set a "fresh" miner to mimic a ship with an advanced or expert mining order?
These tutorials are really cool. You show exactly what people need to know to get started. So many menus are super overwhelming and while you will want to micro stuff you'll want to put a solid 10 hours in at least before messing with advanced settings unless you really know what you're doing.
Excellent tutorial. I've got about 40 hours in the game – but probably more than half that time the game was on "pause" while I tried to figure out how to do something, so this sort of tutorial is invaluable – the other thing that I haven't seen is a strategy guide. There are lots of tutorials like this one but nothing that suggests strategy options once you've got the basics down – I realise that this is something of a sandbox game but there must be some strategies that one can use. I don't really want to sit through some guy's play through for hours on end to get a clue.
Much appreciated thanks for the video
Sorry folks, here are the names of the bindings:
Throttle to zero = stop engines
Select stuff = select object
(Thanks to Voltkraken)
Also from the comments (Thanks to coldrogue):
Hold CTRL to place multiple waypoints
In the name of the Holy Trinity, stop with this abomination of giving a scout dozens of fly and wait commands to map a sector. My fingers hurt just from looking at that!
I highly recommend to simply use a few more scouts instead. I use 6-scout squads and give each one of them an explore command into a corner of the sector. They tend to map out the whole sector in 10-15 minutes. It also only requires 6 orders per sector, and prevents the suffering to your fingers. =D
If you later get to explaining the weapons and how they work (some of them are quite strange indeed) I am more than willing to fill you in on ALL the details for that.
well while on it you can helps the systems economic (where possible) and create some auto traders to buy and sell the first steps of the production chain aka siliconplates and refind metals .so you get good money and the shipyards for exemple enough hullparts from the hullpart factory in the system.
If I remember correctly completing the explore task can get the pilot experience, I'm not sure if setting waypoints does as well. I like to transfer my explorer pilots to mining ships after a while.
Oh I hate you a little :D, I played the old X1/2 and have so many good memories, X4 was a disappointment, but now i want back in, I am not sure i want to dish out almost 50 euros for the DLC for the improved version, which means i have to wait for some discounts.
Thanks for the vids. <3
These guides are super helpful, thanks!
As a newbie, I found this video very useful. Please do a few more for beginners!
Very nice, love it <3
The game looks really good. I watched your tutorial videos to get a first impression before I actually buy X4. It already looks very complex and despite your videos I will probably be totally lost for the time being. I actually "play" Star Citizen, but because of the server problems I'm looking for an alternative and X4 looks really good, if not better. Because X4 is currently on sale on Steam, I'll give it a try. My big question is: What about all the expansions that are offered for X4, is it worth buying them or should I play the base game first?
Do yo plei war tunder enimor?
When is that second part coming? Super useful guide, would love more.
These videos are great. When do you think the next one will be?
I lucked out and saw a ore station in reach (first playthough, idk if it's random or not), but I'm not seeing any revenue increase when they land and sell.
Recently started playing and your videos came up as a suggestion. Great videos and we need more!! lol Subscribed! 😁👍
I've been playing this for years on and off, but I learn something everytime I watch one of your vids. You earnt a sub from me.
Your videos made me buy the game.
I am looking forward to the next.
are you german?
There is a command for ships to scout regions. You access that via right-click to the region you want scouted OR clicking on the Jump Gate/Accelerator/Super Highway.
And the BEST Scout is, until you get to the Boron missions, the Paranid Pegasus Vandguard, you get it by the guys in violet on the map by riding the Highway to the 3-o´clock-position.
Once you met the Borons, buy the Irukandji for best Scout. Important detail: Difference between Vanguard and Sentinel is that the Vanguard has more speed while the Sentinel has more storage space and hit points. Though that only gets critical once you get to the finer details of the game.
does every captain in the fleet have to be the same rank or higher than the fleet commander in order to mimic advance and expert mining?
Medium preset contains useless software for mining ships
Another great vid! Thanks very much for the helpful tutorial!
1:50 how do you set a waypoint in the first place? I don't get that 'fly to and wait' option. I only get 'start guidance to position' and if I do a second location it gets rid of the first.
Great guide my only issue is I came from the previous guide where you showed us 1 mission paying 29k, then the next video you're like so by now you should have 2mil plus? Like dang big jump
Hi I was wondering if you could help. I followed your guide exactly however my miner just floats in the same spot doing nothing and will not mine anything. I tried changing between Ore and Ice as they both have a lot of stars for the region and set up resource probes in a net to cover the area however it still just sits there and does nothing. I tried moving him to a different area and I had the same issue. Any idea why my mining ship just wont mine?
Very good guide, really helpful for new players
