Pirate Trouble & Tank Armor | Prototech Explorers Ep.14 (Space Engineers Survival)

In Episode 14 of Prototech Explorers, we start the day with some good old-fashioned wreck looting—tearing down derelict ships to boost our growing stockpile. But it’s not long before we set out again, and this time we run headfirst into a heavily defended pirate base. After a brutal fight to dismantle its defenses, we come out on top and make some much-needed upgrades: heavy armor over our hydrogen tanks to prevent explosive surprises, and extra thrusters to help our now-heavier rover tackle Pertam’s brutal hills. 🧠 Tips & Tricks for Episode 14 Wrecks are perfect for farming advanced components—keep grinders on hand. Pirate bases pack a punch—approach with cover and keep mobile. Protect fuel systems (like hydrogen tanks) with heavy armor—it can save your run. Add extra thrusters as your rover gains weight—especially for hill climbs. Balance your upgrades with power draw—more thrusters = more demand.
