goddammit, what the fuck. I spent an hour building a large mining rig and when I finally get around to placing fucking gyros, it crashes.
and of course, i have autosave off because it's annoying as [I]fuck.[/I]

fuck, did it again! I think it stems from me trying to use shift+control to make large areas of stuff and some of it is in an invalid position

there aren't dedicated servers yet, so the only way to host 24/7* is by having it sit on someones computer all the time
*except for crashes and whatnot related to doing it this way.

once we get dedicated servers, it'll be [I]glorious[/I]
[editline]16th March 2014[/editline]
also where/how do you get custom space backgrounds
i started a save with some friends, this is lots of fun
we all work together to do stuff, looks cool to see a few little lights going on around a huge wireframe
I try to repair blocks damage (the look not the actual parts) in multiplayer but the blocks arent changing for me but they are repairing for the host is there any reason for this?

Synchronization issues are aplenty in the current build. Try re-logging.
Is anyone even interested in tomorrow's livestream?
I'll play with ya's, just let me know when.

[QUOTE=Pigbear;44257256]so uh guys, have you all forgotten that I have a Facepunch Space Engineers group? [url]http://steamcommunity.com/groups/FacepunchSpaceEngineers[/url]
Anyone that wants can be put where they are hosting a server, just ask me.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=RocketRacer;44259118]Is anyone even interested in tomorrow's livestream?[/QUOTE]
I might be able to join you as well, but it depends on when it starts.
[QUOTE=Marzipas;44256904]so how are you supposed to survive in the Crashed Ship scenario? There aren't any refineries or any shit like that so as far as I can tell there is no way to build anything.[/QUOTE]
Dissasemble a reactor or two (the ahip has 3) a ramp (for small steel tubes for the assembler) and temporarily partially dissasemble the cockpit for the displays, builds the assembler and refinery, dissassemble some of the spare computer parts you have, make displays, fix the cockpit
I feel mature because the whole time I've been playing this game, not once have I ever thought about making a penis spaceship
I guess I'll make a dick ship
I'm hosting right now if anyone wants to add me and join, or just look for WickerSurvival, it's public

which gamemode?
I present the Groundhog, a mobile refinery, salvaging, and storage ship. A little rusty and dented as it's quite old.

Interior is quite bland. Being an ex-military ship, it was all about functionality.

How does a spaceship in a vacuum get rusted?
[QUOTE=Zenreon117;44260568]How does a spaceship in a vacuum get rusted?[/QUOTE]
It was one of the guinea pigs used during the failed "Portable Atmosphere" Project.
Or maybe they used rusted metal to build it. Because budget cuts.
[QUOTE=Minelayer;44260582]It was one of the guinea pigs used during the failed "Portable Atmosphere" Project.

or maybe it used to be stored in a space station with oxygen, where it eventually rusted? or on a planet?
I can envision an SS13 style descent into madness over the course of multiplayer survival scenarios that start with complex structures that need maintenance. :v:
once mp gets more stable we should have a ss13 construction project
[QUOTE=Zenreon117;44260568]How does a spaceship in a vacuum get rusted?[/QUOTE]
ask the minmatar and the reavers. they started black and rust color schemes with pointy things all over them.
also because fuck you that's why.
got a server up called "no tears, only space engineers"
currently building a space station on an asteroid. the entire crater im in is currently grav'd, and imana need help building it completely. any help from you guys would be just like, way super, and stuff.
steam name is "bob4life10"

And have a game master stationed a distance away with an array of gravity weapons so they can randomly hurl equivilants of micro and macro meteorites at the station.

My mining mothership. It's cramped, and there's barely half a meter to either side of the docked gunship, which can also be used to ferry materials or men. It's got a spacious interior for its size:

I'm really proud of this thing. The tumor hanging off the side in the first shot is the actual mining ship, which I just discovered actually fits in the operations bay.

The mothership is also fully set up with an engineering compartment, bunks for the crew and a bridge.

Here's my lttle shipyard for all the ideas for stuff the first row are my dedicated cargo ships, the second row are my lifters, designed to rescue stranded crafts, pick up blocks that have been cut off big ships, and also as cariers for my multi role modules im working on, the modules being either 3x6x6, 6x6x9 or 9x6x12 in small block size, that come in various configurations, to be people carriers, medical modules, emergency power modules, detachable clusters of storage and the like.

space station is coming along nicely. main anchor module is half'ish complete, the grav gen generates gravity all along the crater, steady supply of pretty much everything under the sun, and theres a constant stream of rescue ships that can be salvaged.
[QUOTE=NoDachi;44260706]once mp gets more stable we should have a ss13 construction project[/QUOTE]
I actually tried making boxstation, but lost the save when the game crashed and ragedeleted the rest. It was too huge an endeavour for one person, but it could be done pretty well.
For some reason my assembler is glitched, when my resources are done being refined they don't automatically transfer to the assemblers inventory, instead all my ingots are building up in the refinerys inventory and my assembler cant draw any of the ingots into its own inventory. I've tried manually taking stacks of refined resources, drag & dropping them into the assemblers inventory but it won't let me.
So my save is pretty much borked because I can't use any of my resources to build anything.

Oh jesus. I'd fucking go ape if shit actually decayed, considering all my ships a giant fucking megastructures.
Also, I've finally figured out how to make giant ships work again since stacking thrusters no longer works. Cover the [i]entire fucking ship in thrusters[/i].
