How hard can it be to start with nothing but the tools on your belt and no dollars in your bank account? Economy Only, No Piracy, only privateering.
I've long wanted to try an Economy only playthrough in Space Engineers and with all the extra NPC stuff out there in vanilla, now seemed like a good time. I'm going to avoid attacking any neutrals and will only take stuff from the bad guys.
Here's the start setup:
Steam: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3374380124
Non-Steam: mod.io/g/spaceengineers/m/bankrupt-economy-station-start
If you enjoyed this, let me know of other little challenges (builds or survival) you'd like to see as I had a lot of fun with this one :)
I have two other channels that I post content to regularly
youtube.com/zebramonkeys - my cooperative channel with Capac
youtube.com/flipsie - my experimental and Twitch stream backup channel
