DESTROYING an ENTIRE PLANET in Space Engineers 🤯

just over a year ago I started this channel by building a death star and then blowing things up with it 25 000 subscribers later or more like 28 000 subscribers later it's finally time to fulfill the death star's purpose and finally destroy a planet but it's not going to be that simple is it so before we could even think of beginning this Herculean task we must first ask ourselves how Welcome To Mars This younger brother if you've watched my video on the top model of the Year you'll know that Minnie Mars has a tendency to whisper things to people in its vicinity see it's doing it now so in order to silence the voices many Mars will be the target of my aggression planets and space engineers are made up of voxels so in order to consider a planet destroyed we will need to remove all of the voxels from it so in order to do this we'll need to find methods of destroying voxels so we'll Begin by testing all of the weapons in the game to work out which is the most useful for this task so it'll be a simple test I will fire each of the weapons of the planet to see which of them does damage to the terrain let's start with the Gatling gun as you can see there's no damage to the terrain whatsoever next is the rocket launcher which as you can see does a tiny bit of damage to the ground so if you move slightly across and get the auto Cannon equipped you can see that the auto Cannon doesn't do any damage next up is the assault Cannon which also doesn't appear to do any damage next we have the artillery which as you can see also doesn't do any damage and finally we have the Royal gun which also doesn't do anything so rocket launchers are the only base game weapons that damage voxels but they don't really do a lot of damage but stop I know what you're typing in the comments but zero you forgot about Warheads yes I know way to spoil the next part of the video so here you can see the hole at the missile shot and then if we get our Warheads we go to its terminal arm and detonate you can see that this is um definitely a lot more destructive Warheads do way more damage than missiles making them the best candidate so far however if we want to destroy an entire planet we need to start thinking a lot bigger so crashing a ship immediately causes a large amount of damage and Apollo is only a small ship sure this crater isn't as wide as the Creator by the Warhead but it's definitely much deeper so what if you crash something bigger like I don't know to bring It full circle home one foreign than using a warhead but it's not exactly a focus destruction method to set we need something a bit more efficient and precise than crashing a ship repeatedly into a planet fortunately for us gaps on my Discord created something exactly for this purpose a bunker buster whilst these are very effective at getting deep into the planet's surface they still will take a very long time to destroy an entire planet using these if only there was something much more destructive it's only fitting right using the Death Star to destroy a planet but zero I hear you cry railguns don't do voxel damage how is this Death Star going to work simple [Music] mods specifically a mod I made a year ago when I originally created my death star what railguns do explosive damage rather simple name I think they do way more damage than a warhead they do way more consistent damage than crashing a ship and a much wider area of damage than the bunker Buster oh and we can go much bigger than the Death Star as well with Star Killer base Starkiller base has just under 400 railguns which is way more than the Death Star so we get this thing into position and then give it about five minutes there you have it now that's a lot of damage we finally have our weapon for destroying a planet oh and I forgot to mention I upgraded my mods real guns are now rapid fire which is gonna make this a lot more effective so it took way less time than I expected but I've reached through the other side of the planet but it was going to take a lot more shots to do that so you can see there's the way through let's just jump through and see what happens so as we start to get to the other side we should start to slow down because gravity's pulling us back and I guess now we go back again and you've seen people fly between planets before but you've never seen someone fly through a planet before you still haven't there you go let's do it properly this time you can see there's where I crashed last time and there you go right through the planet look at that that's the first time for everything right enough messing around let's finish the job let's get Starkiller base to destroy this entire planet I'm kind of curious to see what will happen when the entire planet is removed so let's get on with it and find out even with all this destructive power it's still going to take a while to destroy this planet mainly because it takes a while to register the destruction of the voxels if you look in the top left you can see the Sim speed until that Sim speed gets back to one the destruction has not happened so whilst I'm waiting for this destruction to happen why don't you take the time to like this video And subscribe to this channel this video was created to celebrate us hitting 25 000 subscribers so I guess that means we need ideas for our next Milestone so if you have any suggestions let me know with a comment below also something something become a supporter something something Link in the description anyway I will join you when I finish doing some more damage to the planet so in editing this I realized that this montage is much longer than I expected so I thought I would check up on you guys so how's it going building anything cool playing any fun games let me know each of these rogon shots are very laggy it takes around 30 seconds before the voxels are actually removed from the planet but I am doing something that was never intended to be done by the game so I'm not surprised that there's issues with it just be glad you're watching the edited version of it just like to take a second out of my destruction of the planet to show you that I have successfully sawn planet in half which is um quite a lot of damage I just fly back out you can see there is now a gap in the center of Mars very impressive I know this actually didn't take that long it's only taken about 20 minutes or so to do this which is much less time than I thought it was going to take I'm not sure exactly how long it takes between shots but it seems to be getting faster but I don't know if that's because I'm destroying less voxels once I've gone out of the middle of the planet anyway let's get back to the task at hand so this is it we only have this small section of Mars left before we fire the final shot something interesting to know the sun doesn't seem to shine on the inside of the voxels it only seems to go to a certain distance you see it like cuts off here I guess this is an engine thing where they don't want you to be lighting inside of planets but if you actually get close it actually does work it's specifically when you're in space doesn't like them which is interesting anyway enough of that it's gone with the show actually happened really quick oh no you can see on the Sim speed on the top left um until that gets back to one is currently processing all the voxel changes so any second now it gets rid of a chunk there you go what I tend to do now is I line up Starkiller with an area that overlaps like here so you see it all here in front and behind this calculator is aligned and added by fire it should hit the front and the back and then give it a couple of seconds and there'll be a pop and they'll disappear there you go let's finish this off so there's a bit over here aim for the middle of it let's start gonna do its thing this shouldn't take as long because the less voxels it has to remove the less time it takes there you go so second to last section I reckon I'm going to aim here so I can hit both bits and Fire there you go and final shot I know there's a little bit of voxels everywhere I'll clean this up afterwards there yeah that's most of it done let me just clear up the rest of it and I'll be back and there we go the entirety of a planet destroyed as you can see here whilst every single box of the planet has been destroyed the game still thinks there's the planet there for starters the atmosphere of Mars is still there giving that blue and red Hue you can see and there's also still gravity that pulls me down to a non-existent surface interestingly if you're at the center of where the planet would be there's zero gravity which is kind of how it works in real life except for the fact you'd probably be crushed to death by the extreme amount of pressure at these depths anyway as there's an atmosphere atmospheric thrusters still work as you can see here I'm fully capable of flying this atmospheric minor around where the planet would once have been and here I have an ion ship which as you can see here when I fly into the atmosphere the thrusters turn off interestingly though although this does make sense of how they work when the gravity of the planet goes below 0.5 when you fly into it gravity generators then start working which means I can then use my gravity drive inside of the planet to escape if you're not aware gravity generators only typically work in space as a don't function within gravity and if you want to know more about how the gravity Drive works I've made multiple videos about it which you can see in the top right here but enough about gravity generators let's move on so is there anything else you want me to test I'm guessing it just works like a planet it just doesn't have any planet to it if that makes sense but if you let me know maybe we'll make a follow-up video where we go over it anyway I've done what I set out to do so don't forget to like and sorry what was that what do you mean they haven't destroyed a real planet that took four and a half hours Minnie Mouse is too small uh too small for what it's still a planet fine fine you want me to destroy a planet here I'll destroy a planet look there you go are you happy now a special thanks to my supporters the Wildcat splurgeberger QWERTY the pro Gregor ather key Summit tarantula fudge Pascal Roland red sky and
