This video will show you what is in my opinion the most efficient way to start out in Space Engineers survival. This method is very useful when starting on survival servers where it is pretty much a race to be the first one with good production capabilities. Unfortunately, cause my internet is absolute poop at the moment, this wasn't recorded on a server, but the method shown is still the same. I hope this helps you to become a better player at SE PVP.

Thanks to /T\ Yondu Udonta for his guide on fast survival starts which inspired this video (and for him complaining about my stupid hand digging in the last tutorial I made)
