Not if I just crash into the nearest planet if 02

Hi, you may use Spaceman Spiff's LCD blueprints, just build the one you need so the one that is close to where you play, I am sure there is GPS with Uranium and ice in the list :

Spaceman should have shared that solution ;)

wait a minute....ChemPlay, aren't you the one who also posted about building on the darkside of the moon and not having power? if so (and even if not) reload the game in creative mode and spawn in what you need. Then go back into survival and putter around untill you're able to stand on your own. Alternatively, you could continue reloading your survival worlds and learn from any mistakes made previously.

Not every asteroids have ice deposits. Look for a blue asteroid, that's pure ice you should be able to see from 20-50km away. Enough to last your needs for a very long time. Usually there's one pure ice asteroid within every 50-100km in space. This mod could help cut down your time in searching,

You don't need to reload in creative mode if you're playing SP survival. Simply go to the Admin Tools using {Alt}-{F10} and check the box entitled "Enable creative mode tools" (first choice). Now you can spawn in everything that you can do in creative mode.

I did post it but my progress was so slow that I deleted the world. Also I don't want to cheat.

Well if looking for ice best bet can be to make a run for the moon itself if around the Earthlike planet, there is plenty of ice there and the gravity should be fine for even ion thrusters.

Otherwise its generally a matter of luck, finding an all ice asteroid out in space is a numbers game but when you do its best to mark it for future use or even dropping a station on it that automates ice production, though that is more for after you find one.

So yeah try the moon if close by, otherwise getting to a planet is another solution.

Just go to a Rich ore spot if you don`t want to "cheat".

Do you know where they are?

no

The best in space = Go explore the huge flat terrain of the Earth Moon, look for yellow'sh spots on the soil.

[Dan2D3D]

Start exploring the huge flat terrain from the "dark side" edge close to ice Pole, the best spot starts with Platinum next to the ice pole where the flat terrain begins :

But first I thought you were in need because you said -> "please help I need H2"
and why I shared a fast solution so to copy/paste the GPS coords in from Spaceman Spiff ;)

+
I can tell you will not need the GPS coords at some point, because you will know where to search ;)

It's not hard to find ice. But you have to be methodical about it. I put a GPS marker on every asteroid I explore that lists the ores I found on it. I cruise to each new asteroid with my backwards thrusters OFF so that I don't waste energy. You might have to explore 20 asteroids to find what you need. But it's there.

In the vanilla space start, you're using ion thrusters, so the only thing you're needing ice for is oxygen and maybe some hydrogen for the jetpack. If you're starting on a planet and going to space, you should be taking plenty of hydrogen and some oxygen with you.

I had forgotten about that! I used to go about it through the trash settings I think it is. I got tired of that so I decided to just reload in creative.
