Hey guys, I just got the game with its deluxe edition off of steam. When I try to create a world I get this fun little screen. I’ve tried everything to get around it to no avail. Haven’t been able to play it at all yet.
When I launch the game it asks if I want “space engineers” or “First release”. The second option works but the first (which is the newer game) gives me that screen. I’ve tried it with and without Wi-Fi so I’m a little stumped. If yall know anything please let me know, I can’t wait to play.
Hi everybody! Some of you may know me from my little ship creations that I've posted here on the subreddit, but did you know that a few years ago I also made a mod! It's a suit voice replacement mod and I recently updated it with some new voice line variations! If you're interested in this sort of thing, please do check it out! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2277303535
My reactor does not wna work, its all connected 1 big reactor 10 turbines, fuel in boxes but whenever i try to turn it on it goes back to OFF instant... any1 else has this problem ?
I've just made my base and allowed my O2/H2 generator to be connected to where my ice is stored, but this results in the generator always being pumped completely full so I can't put any tanks in there anymore. I've searched on here for a bit but couldn't really find an answer to it. Is there a way to do this without scripts and mods or is this not a feature in the game. If not, which mod or script should I get to fix this issue?
Been trying to get working ejection seats for my larger small grid bomber may for my fingers as well but I just can't seem to get them compact enough to work well in my designs any suggestions
I can't remember the name of it and after some seardhing, I'm unable to find it.
The mod makes reactors more complex. The idea was that the reactors put out heat and radiation (I think) and you had to make buildings to help with that like lead shielding and a cooling system, ect ect. Has anyone heard of this or know if the mod still exists?
Hi All. I bought SE back when the beta came out back in 2013, put around 500 hours into it and stopped playing just before planets came into the game.
I started playing again last week and I am hooked! I decided to give multiplayer a go and have been having fun on the Draconis and HEX server.
I keep seeing one server much more popular than the rest so I decided to give it a go, but for the life of me I cannot get in!
Clicking join does absolutley nothing. If I go to server info I will get "error downloading server settings"
I have tried literally everything I can think of, scoured this sub and even asked on the server's discord but I just cannot get the game to see the server.
Has anyone ever seen this behaivour? Any help would be amazing!
After many hours learning the survival aspects of Space Engineers, I'm taking on combat to deal with the latest update. I've put together something heavily armored and covered in artillery.
I think I had enough weapons but my armor, one full layer of heavy armored blocks, was taken apart pretty quickly in my first encounter.
I tried shooting a blast door backed by a heavy armor block and then another blast door with artillery. The shot vaporized the first blast door and significantly deformed the heavy armor. I tried two blast doors backed by a light armor block and that worked better.
What do you consider effective heavy armor? Are there any tricks to this?
every fucking world i make corrupts the next day for no apparent reason and i have no idea why, what am i doing wrong???? it doesnt matter how many backup saves i make or what i do, whenever i come back to the game the world will either refuse to load or straight up corrupt and i have no idea what to do.
I’ve been using Mega Voxels to ‘sketch’ out my builds conveniently, but I was wondering if there is another similar app or website that also includes slopes, rather than just blocks?
I cant stress this enough, I am IN LOVE with the factotum design!!! it's sleek, efficient and the gold trims are BEAUTIFUL.
This doesn't have the prototech blocks, yet, ill make another version of it with a railgun later.
Hope for some feed back :)
I was looking at the workshop and most of the ones I like are like 8 years old and haven’t been updated, I’m a pretty new player so I’m not sure how well they hold up, I also know there’s a hyper drive and wonder if it’s needed on such a ship or how easy it is to even install?
sariyachalk's recent post got me thinking...
Is it theoretically possible to have a mod, where your colony will self build, in return for you supplying it with materials? I haven't really thought about it much, but I think it would be cool to have some people build their own buildings and structures, in return for you supplying materials?
I'm not so big on combat, but I love gathering resources and seeing things build.
I guess there'd need to be some sort of algorithm for placement, and maybe a projector could project, and then something like build and repair nanobots to actually build the structures?
I think it would be interesting to see a bustling city grow automatically?
Hi engineers,
I always getting mind blown by detailed builds with complex and clever mechanisms (w/ rotors, hinges, pistons ...) - like custom landing gears, retractable solar panels or other stuff, ramps, suspensions etc
What are your favorite builders regarding that?
Looking for creators who don't prio performance in a battle or how practical it is.
Some of mine
Name | Profile / Channel | Example |
---|---|---|
Quantum Chief | YT @quantumchief | Custom Suspensions |
Kelevra Engineering | YT @KelevraEngineering | Titan Drilling Rover |
UnHinged Industries | YT @unhingedindustries | Awesome Ship |
Kenneth0508 | YT @Kennet0508 | Cargo Modules Concept |
GECO | Steam geco11 | Ship w/ sick features |
Boris | YT @borischung01 | Aeriel Corvette Combat |
Apologies | Steam Workshop | Vault Door / Nuke Factory (wtf) |
I'm missing a lot, what are you favorites?
Sad, that they don't get the attention on YT for example they deserve - like/subscribe is free :)
I didn't include mech's, because I prefer ships / rovers - but there are some super impressive builders out there too!
Me and my boy are playing together in a coop game. We wanna do contracts together at the same time and share the rep. Is there a way to this?
Thanks
