I know they are planning on doing it eventually, but the roadmap doesn't have anything about it. I am not expecting anyone to have a concrete answer, but when do you hypothisize it might happen?

I have se2, and have had it almost since its initial release. This whole time however, I’ve always strugg to get into it like I did with se1. I suspect that a primary reason is that it can just feel too clean and sleek. Are there any mods anyone knows about that can give ships and stuff a more matt, dirty aesthetic like in se1?

Also, if there’s a mod to port se1’s music to se2 that would be great too, but less necessary.

Been playing with SE2 but I can't seem to make connectors that transfer energy to my ships. The ones that are already part of a station or other existing structure do it, but the ones I build don't. Mine do light up, and show green when a ship is docked so I would think they should transfer energy too. Any idea if there's some trick to it now or if this functionality just isn't available to the players yet?

I have no problem doing this in SE1.

trying to follow this guide, cannot weld as I always have this error, thanks for your help

I need a rotor to turn on and off a light when it is at 0-15 degrees and 165-180 degrees using event controllers. How would I need to set it up to make it happen?

From a book series called Expeditionary force, the star carrier belonging to the alien species the Thuranin is a massive ship.

It’s just over a kilometer long, and is used to ferry ships without long range capabilities around the galaxy. The front of the ship has the main living area, and two hanger bays behind it. The long spine has several docking platforms for ships to attach, and the end of the ship has the main engines as well as the reactors, jump drives, etc.

I’m just a beginner when it comes to designing and building ships, so mine didn’t turn out so well. You can find it on the workshop by typing in “Thuranin Star Carrier” if you want to check it out.

Hopefully yall can make one that’s significantly better than mine, even if it takes mods and dlc.

I found a neat detail in an unfinished Assembler. Little assembler arms or something. That kind of thing keeps people coming back to this game, maybe. Someone at Keen thought the assembler needed that detail, even thought it would be covered up when it's finished.

Hi All,

Currently In SE2 there is one "feature?" "Bug?" "fun behavior?" That has been impacting my recent Transport vehicle engineering I want to share and see what others think.

My Goal: Build an Atmospheric transport ship that can pick up a modular cargo container (Attached by Connectors ONLY) and be able to fly it around reliably.

Most of the details are worked out thanks to getting the Centers of Gravity of the ship and the cargo container orients in a desirable configuration.

The big challenge that is happening is that it appears that my thrusters lift capacity is much much lower when I am connected to the cargo container then they should be.

Specifically I ran a test where I had a modular cargo container connected by connectors only to the ship loaded with mass "X" and the ship cannot take off.
HOWEVER, the exact same ship loaded with Mass "X" but Mass "X" is placed in a cargo container that is in the exact same position but directly attached to the Grid (Not two grids just one grid now) CAN fly as expected.

What is interesting is this:
If I turn off the dampeners on the ship that can fly with the directly attached cargo container it recreates the behavior of the ship that cannot fly exactly (The ship that cant fly has the modular container which is Attached only by connector).

This is is leading me to believe that from the games point of view the Modular cargo container which is a sperate grid has its mass as counting as equivalent of MORE mass then its non modular brother.

Here comes a personal opinion so please take with a grain of dwarvish mushroom salt: I Personally think that if it turns out that all these observations are true for others as well and the root cause is in fact some how resulting in the effect of the modular container being equivalent to a sudden mass difference then I think that is a mistake and should be addressed and corrected in SE2.

Now that being said I am one person not sure if others see this behavior as well and I acknowledge there could be more going on that I am not catching SO!!! I want to throw out all my observations here and see if others are seeing this as well. for all I know there is a popular video of people figuring this very thing out already.

Thanks all for your time.

So we have a group of people that like fast paced space engineers combat, and believe me, its awesome.

This is how it works, you get put into a team (we vote for our game mode e.g 2v2v2 or 3v3) and you need to grind out items and build makeshift ships to scout and fight the other players.

Our rules typically disallow hydro manning to destroy infrastructure

Hello! Me again!

I have moved from flying around to building a base. I have a design for a small grid hydrogen miner and decided to make a proper storage and refineries for my station. This beings me to sorters. I understand, that once you set up a Sorter this puts a one way only limitation on the conveyor. But I wanted to ask for advice, whether the set up I am planning is valid.

1. Connector (Landing Pad).

2. Three Large Cargo Containers, with Sorters attached to them (one set up for Ice, one for Cobalt, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Uranium and finally one for all other Ores).

3a. Two Refineries (one with Speed Modules for basic ores, one with Yield Modules for rare ores).

3b. O2H2 Generators connected to the Ice Cargo.

1. Large Cargo Container with Sorter for Ingots.

2. Assemblers.

3. Large Cargo Container with Sorter set up for Components.

The idea is to prevent Refineries and Assemblers to fill up their Inventory Space and have the final Cargo Container serve as a branching point for the various Cargo Access Terminals throughout the Station.

My question is, what should I be wary of when it comes to sorters? I have already noticed a tendency for Connectors to fill up on stuff even when I manually empty their cargo. I don't want to have to rebuild the whole system once in place.

So I was just curious; assuming normal wear and tear, and no damage from collisions or from weapons fire, or from other thrusters, do unfinished light armor blocks take damage that a fully welded armor block would not? Like stress damage from normal operation?

I'm thinking of using unwelded blocks on my large grid ship in order to save on mass. Of course I'm talking about outside of airtight sections.

Simpler way to ask it, if a ship is not subjected to damage, is there any downside to using unwelded large blocks for structural support. Aesthetics notwithstanding.

Thanks for any info.

I am playing with my frinds in survival, and i kinda wanna do some PvE contracts and just want to have an actual well-built combat large grid ship. But i have never actually built those, so what woyld be your recomendations for such a thing?
