The big brother to the cutter I posted a few days ago. And I’d love some advice on how to make it look better.
Help me identify what mod it's from? Sorry for bad quality.
I have been recently using laser antennas in comms satellites to control bases from across planets. So I want to know. How do all of you (if at all) use laser antennas?
Hi all, I’m starting to jump into playing on a multiplayer server (probably the Keen Servers) after years of only playing solo. Any tips to having a good experience? I really don’t want to invest time into a base to have it all blown up when im offline for example. Any tips tricks or strategies will be very helpful! (PS does the cryo pod doing anything) thanks!
Hey. I have a bit over 800 hours but I'm only just beginning to delve into survival. I've built the outline of my base with everything connected up, just not entirely sure on the sorters.
I know a sorter set to drain all will pull everything through and fill every available container on the other side. My question can be illustrated in the image.
The sorter on the right is draining everything from whatever it's connected into the cargo. On the other side is another cargo block, but there's a sorter that has drain all off. Will the left cargo also get filled, or will the sorter stop things from being sent through? I know a sorter with drain all off will still send things due to a pull request (say a welder), but will it block the right sorter from filling the left cargo?
Sorry if the question is worded poorly, and thanks for answering.
I built a mining rig but whenever the arm touch the rock it turns back if I turn up the torque will that it? Also it wobbles a lot when it’s on will that break the arm?
How do I make a screen showing my ammo count or one option seems to be "ammo report"
So I wanted to try put a pvp server for the first time and I'm trying to design a good pvp rover that's small and good for early game. Are pvp rovers even viable and does anyone have any tips or a good mindset to build pvp rovers?
New to space engineers and I’m building a rotating mining drill does it matter if I put the rotor on the bottom of the piston or on top? Whatever’s on the bottom is connected to a large cargo I’d prefer to have the rotor on the bottom tho
Are they any good? Have you used them for cross play?
So I think I understood how to designe a Ok looking ship but would like to also use more rovers do to them beeing, in my opinion, overshadowed by all the space ships and early atmo-flyers. If you, my fellow engineers know any tips on how to even start making good looking rovers it would be awesome if you could share your wisdom on this witchcraft of wheeled vehicles
Nuff said
Hi everyone!
I'm looking to join a faction on a Space Engineers server. Here’s a bit about me:
If you think I’d be a good fit for your faction or if you want more info, feel free to DM me on Discord! Looking forward to hearing from you.
I'm trying to make a full fleet and I want to start out with my capital ship, but I have no clue how to make it look good. It's supposed to be around 150 blocks long and that my only starting point. Any help and tips would be appreciated.
So I have a transport rover, and a miner.
I want to take all ores from the miner, and put them into the rover, so I can take multiple loads back to base.
Why isn't it moving them across?
Hey, I have no modding experience or the willpower to make one, but I have an idea for those of you out there to make jump drives better.
Okay so the idea is having a block and when it is armed, and then destroyed it opens a wormhole, the more that are destroyed in the vicinity the bigger and longer the wormhole stays open, a ship can only travel through the wormhole if it is smaller than the wormhole. You would put them on missiles.
Inspiration is satisfactory (game) ending.
I built a big hangar eithout thinging on that this size will be not supported by the airtight hangar doors. Any advice how to solve the doors? I eas thinging on adding pistons, but I'm unsure if that could work.
Apologies for the bad quality, I didn’t take this video to post originally but someone asked for it :) (it was taken to send to a friend through text)
One final thing I want to add, this was based off the real life CAT 992 loader, it uses a script to obviously control the pistons with keystrokes but also uses AWG’s flat rotors and hinges mod (I’m personally using his convenient weapon pack since I was making tanks in this world too) and RB’s pistons mod
Sorry if this is the wrong flair, I’m not sure what flair would fit better than this.
Is there a good way to make a projectile that is propelled by a warhead explosion, or even better, is it possible to make an explosion engine?
Any problems about it, give me a message, or comment
