GPU 99.99 Maxed during game [Nvidia GTX 970]
During my first time ever playing Space Engineers, Under the advise of my Twitch stream chat, I was told that the First Jump scenario would be a great place to start.
This scripted campaign would give me the basics of the game and I should have a fair understanding on some of the controls.
I did! It was fun and everything started to go south in the 3rd scenario when the sound wasn't always there and I had to go back to the audio setting and 'adjust' the slider and then the audio came back. [I had to do this about 3 or 4 times]
After shooting missiles at both the good guys and bad guys, I was given a rover on a planet and had to do something....
I say , "something" as I wasn't able to complete the 4th scenario, I had lost all audio and my GTX 970 was maxed. [first time a game did this]
Since, no one from the company showed up in my twitch stream [today 10/18] to advise me on where to locate: these world/save files or images depicting the issue along with any log file(s). I am going to assume that this will be an ongoing back and forth bug report. The best I can do , since I am not familiar with your product, is to share a video from my Twitch stream where I had the issue.
Hope this helps

I have the same bug
Upon some suggestions, I picked Medium for everything.. and picked the custom start with the blue lander on an Alien planet. GPU is no longer maxed, not only 81%.
CPU: Intel Core i7 6700K 4.00 GHz
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR3-2400 Memory
OS: Microsoft(R) Windows 10 PRO 64-bit
Video: DUAL EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Super Clocked ACX 2.0 4GB GDDR5 SLI
I currently am not running SLI
I hope this gets addressed. This tweet says, "be sure to include: world/save files, images/video depicting the issue and a log file. We'll help you asap! Cheers,"

My friends and I have the same issue.
I have a GTX970M and an intel i7 6700HQ Base speed 2.60GHz. My friends have similar gaming laptops with slightly different but capable specs. After the survival update installed we were all excited to jump in and see what was new, I loaded the game and watched the new intro video and noticed immediately that my fans were screaming as I was sitting on the main menu. I checked task manager and space engineers was using almost 100% of my GPU and close to 80% CPU. I confirmed that it was using the correct video card, I checked that nothing else was running, I tried decreasing the graphics to the lowest possible and I tried restarting the game and the laptop, nothing worked. For the entirety of our session the fans were on maximum. The other players all reported the same issues.
The game was still playable most of the time with some network lag every now and then. However, a few times the game itself started struggling and there was input lag. I know it can't just be my laptop, it (and all my friends laptops) ran space engineers perfectly the night before (just before SE was updated) on the same server. Other than that good update. Praise Ladders.
[PS it would have been nice for some sort of warning that block inventory size settings had changed before we loaded the server up and lost almost all our components :( ]

with Shift-f11 you can see you actual FPS output.
If you run a 60hz monitor and get more than 60 FPS then you should activate v-synch from main menu screen graphic option to lower the FPS to the refresh rate of the monitor.
My gpu was running always 100% until I activated Vsynch, after it was runnig monre around 60% GPU use except for peak.
If you run a 120hz monitor then v-synch option is probably less helping you.
The fact is the game just use all the GPU to output the max fps it can.
