Making utility attachments for small ships, i have to say i hate how you're arbitrarily limited to the way you can build things becauase of large and small faces on the cargo containers.

[QUOTE=RayvenQ;45101337]Making utility attachments for small ships, i have to say i hate how you're arbitrarily limited to the way you can build things becauase of large and small faces on the cargo containers.[/QUOTE] IIRC someone here said that you can connect small door components to the middle of a large door and it will still work. I never tried it though.

Podracing in space engineers: [img]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/468686875957897859/8162839632517C63BF003E942D8C299D6D55E926/[/img] Thats on the ringworld by CJay (not on workshop yet sorry). for that LastStandGamers pod race track, they did not know how to generate a model to drill out the track so they used something which was not intended for that and it was way smaller than the original because of that. (1:1 scale podracer in their podracer track.) [img_thumb]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/468686875956734433/7F8CBC8EDAD35652E876EF730045009EFE9BF7C2/[/img_thumb]

I really like all these fast updates, but I wish the devs would just hold off for a week or two, and make some big releases. What we have right now is loads of content, but none of it is very "advanced" or functional, like the turrets, and multiplayer. I wouldn't mind waiting a month or two of no updates to get working factions/improved multiplayer/3D ship building

I'd like to make controlling systems easier and faster. Like the ability to make control all the turrets at once instead of switching them all manually in the CP. Or switching around gravity generators to make a cannon that'a active when I want it to be

Being able to hotkey control groups or just individual stuff would be heavenly

But I'd really like an IFF system because I like to hunt ships using my missile turrets but when I get out to fix some damage, I end up blowing myself away by accident

also when you group similar components you should get all the relevant controls like if you group or select multiple lights, you can change the colour/brightness settings

[QUOTE=krail9;45106639]also when you group similar components you should get all the relevant controls like if you group or select multiple lights, you can change the colour/brightness settings[/QUOTE] You can already do that, though It stops working when other components are in the group, like a beacon in a gravity generator group, but you can still do it

I made a space swastika today. [editline]14th June 2014[/editline] You can fly small ships around inside it

Is there a guide that explains the conveyor system in its entirety? I'm making a ship with conveyors for the first time and I've been running into some odd problems. Also, SE seems to have updated but it refuses to launch in Steam - it says "Update Required" and I try moving it to the top of the queue, but when I do it just bumps it back down and I can't play because it gives me a "disk write error"

Missing the part where you get body slammed by the ship [editline]15th June 2014[/editline] I am stuck in Denver atm the drillpedo will now be delayed by weeks due to other obligations.

[QUOTE=RayvenQ;45101542]Nope, that doesn't work.[/QUOTE] I'm the one who said it. I think I saw that they "fixed" that in last week's update. Bah. Related: I really really hate that the door on the bottom of the collector is a small door. That fucks up so many of my design ideas. It's inconvenient as hell, and makes little sense.

My google search turned up something about "flushing" the steam cache (which is done through command prompt), or something like that. It worked for me. Hope that's useful to you.

So, I've tried installing some mods, but it wont work. I've tried using the BlockInstaller and doing it manually, both didn't work. Game starts up just fine, but the mods wont show up. What gives?

I made some SE fanart :smile: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Jp2C4cL.jpg[/IMG] [url=http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=271941611]Could you guys leave vote on this on steam? Many thanks.[/url]

With the surreal landscape I almost expected to see Cthuluh or something...

[QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;45130048]With the surreal landscape I almost expected to see Cthuluh or something...[/QUOTE] I was planning a smbc style bonus panel where the robot takes off old man's mask and it's Hitler.

Reminds me of BLAME! a little. Also reading Matter by Iain M. Banks at the moment and want to make a 'smart-hulk'. Basically lots of microships that form one large ship.

[QUOTE=roflcakes;45130383]Reminds me of BLAME! a little.[/QUOTE] The idea came to me 5 minutes after I turned off my PC after reading BLAME! for the first time. :v: That was the reason I used ink and messed it up a bit. Probably would have looked much better, [url=http://i.imgur.com/ikSHmzA.jpg]if I used my beloved pencils.[/url] [editline]dicks[/editline] Damnatus is asking me to tell the whole story: I started building a 'random huge ship without any purpose or unified form', and invited him. He said it feels like Megastructure from blame and made me read it. There. Are you happy now?

I am proud [URL="http://a.pomf.se/dgrgwr.png"]local space engineer is fucking invincible[/URL]

Marek just said "if things to right, next update will enable rotors to pass control through themselves" :v: no word on being able to copy them though, albeit he said that they're still on different grids also "means for inputting exact numbers" coming, maybe we'll finally have text input instead of damn sliders Pistons are a good possibility, they wanted it but got "carried away" (probably multiplayer taking their time) it will happen sometime, same for rails also Marek did not play portal 1 Then interviewer's server crashed :v:

is there a facepunch server? don't feel like rummaging through 292 pages to find it im looking to play this game with some cool people because playing a slow paced game like this alone gets kinda old but itd be great with a group

just look through the server browser there was one but it was having some performance issues, I don't know what the status of it is now

They need to add more ship blocks that have functions so there can be more ship designs. Like when they added the rotor there were hundreds of unique uses
