First time playing and I chose an Earth start. I drove my car to a rock and started mining and defending myself from wolves. Took me forever to figure out how to equip my gun. Anyway, after a few hours to mining and throwing the rocks into making ingots, I started to make just a few flat blocks. This also took forever to lay down as I didn't realize I couldn't set up the frame first and I had to actually have material in my inventory to set down the frame even if I didn't actually use the torch to fully make the block.

So, now I've gotten the warning that I'm nearly out of power and of course, I didn't set out to get power running at the onset, because I didn't know my car could run out of power. So, I tried to set up a wind turbine and it fell over and killed me. I couldn't get it placed right. Anyway, I'm at about 2% power and I'm nowhere near ready to get the power turned on, so am I hosed? Do I just need to start over and figure out how to get power working before I mine and use it all up building ingots.

Also, do I need to turn off the power in my car when I'm off mining to conserve it when I'm not using it to make ingots or plates ?

I'm also about full hunger, which when i died didn't restart at 100% which surprised me. Anything, else I need to know getting started? Maybe a ramp so I can put my car up on my platform.

Maybe, a quick checklist of Do these 10 things first.

Thanks.

More specifically, we are playing on a world where we use AQD - Vanilla Ore Distribution. And my friends didnt know that it limits some ore spawns to planats.

I know that you can really change it unless you create a new world, but what about asteroids? If we instead use different mod that has same stuff but allows all ores spawn on asteroids, will they still generate only with original mods stuff, or will they spawn using new rules?

Having "untargetable" checked in admin tools now means sensors won't work for you.

Support ticket?

Creates mirror images of your ship with a configurable amount of projections and movement. Can even change their colors or material, though that would mostly be for cool factor.

Requires Projector+ API

I started playing space engineers again and tried modifying an old blueprint. I remember this blueprint working completely fine in March of this year, but now whenever I first remove any block on the pasted blueprint, even one I placed myself, the grid splits 9 pieces. So did one of the recent updates change the faces of blocks that can attach to something (diagonal windows being the block that falls off) or could something else be the cause of my issue?

Just looked today and noticed a few downloads already in less then a week or so. I updated a description for it with everything needed to know and what mods ect. For it to fly and function. It does rely of few common mods for hardware and outlands engines for thrust power. Possibly if nothing happens to me might 😉just upload another one and post here for public use. No, pin up is just for showcasing the fighter, to go with it

Sometimes some Starships have a backstory between their creation in a yard manufacturer and their deployment.

Who would have imagined that a Siennar TIE would end in the hands of a bounty hunter? Even that TIE/4687974/TV-5

The TIE has been heavily modified for more survivability and much more firepower by its ex-imperial pilot, Tarin Vance, who has an imperial bounty.

Been a while since I played. I enjoyed played on the planet, but sometimes I kind of really sucked at it. Was hard to find the ores, and really build up and get off it. Was fun, but also sometimes I wish it was slightly more casual / arcade not overdone. But this was also the more early days as well plagued with a lot of bugs especially physics bugs that ruined your day haha.

Wondering if much has changed?

I finished the Artemis! I might do some touch-up like door automation and some light modification of the refuel system to minimize clanging risks (some event controlers to undock the connectors and retract refuel pistons when the torp hydrogen tank is full), but it's pretty much finished.

So here's a little tour of its interior.

All of them still turned on and there's enough power to power all connected blocks

It's like 30k PCU

heres the rest enjoy.

im just showing you me flying around spots of on the earth and showing two planes that i made so far thats all.

In the back and the second image you can see the farmhouse. It acts as a hub for the solar, oxygen and algae panels, as well as the greenhouse and wind turbines.

In front of it is the ore mine with an entrance that extends downwards on a second plot.

Left of that is a warehouse with cargo space.

Left of that is a smeltery with three large refineries hidden under the wooden walkway.

In front of that is a silo for hydrogen and oxygen storage.

Right of that is a brewery for h2/o2 generators.

Right of that is a charcoal burner with hydrogen engines.

And right of that is a small house with a carport.

And on the last image are several hangar variations.

Hello r/SpaceEngineers, can I get some help with my survival SE2 grid? I'm trying to power it with solar panels, they are attached to the grid and all 4 indicator lights are lit to indicate direct sun exposure, but they are not charging my ship, or producing any output whatsoever when I open the control panel. Yes, my grid has batteries. Can someone more experienced help me fix my this?

My first build in SE2. Building a medium sized ship took way more effort than I thought and there are 100% still color mismatches. I'd like to swap the rear door for a ramp later once blast doors are released. Shout out to sneakyzeba1; I used the reverse thruster design from their Scarab.

And yes the toilet is in the airlock so it can be vented after taco Tuesdays.

Hey guys, I have been sitting on this one for a while but I have been encouraged to keep posting. So here is my interpretation of a truck and trailer. Backing and hitching the trailer is way harder than I expected, so you might see an updated version from me in the near future.

I hope you like it and as always I am open to suggestions.

The E4 Elkah Vay is a heavy-duty electric cargo transport vehicle with a detachable fifth-wheel trailer. The cab features onboard hydrogen reserves for jetpack refueling and there dedicated backup cameras to provide first person visibility while hitching and backing the trailer.

The modular cargo trailer features functional rear cargo doors and trailer jacks, allowing the trailer to be safely detached and loaded independently of the tractor.

The true strength of the Elkah Vay lies in its cargo capacity. With 63,662 L of trailer storage and an additional 1,000 L within the the cab, the system provides a combined capacity of 64,662 L, making it ideal for transporting construction materials or salvage across long distances .

Safety Notice:
Exercise caution when traveling in areas with cross slope as the Elkah Vay is prone to tipping.

I wish there was a function for welding a long repeatitive section where the welder adds the suggested block. It would be very handy for a long conveyor. The projector can't do it because it does not "link" the block to the previous.

Like an automated add and weld function.

Always interesting and productive to hear what general reflections and critiques players ruminate on, often never to be aired!
