Space Engineers Trailer 2014

 

[Orion]

Kevlar and I made a wall of 200 grinders because we were tired of the AI ships we captured just sitting around our base like it was some kind of futuristic space redneck lawn. The grinder wall is a laggy piece of ****, but we filled several large cargo containers on our station in just a few minutes.

 

[Rhade]

Pretty big issues with ownership/factions/resets, which I see they've attempted to fix but I haven't played since that patch. However, I don't see any patch notes regarding the biggest problem, being how weapons randomly choose to not work at different times. Emptied a massive amount of bullets into stationary targets, they stared at me, I logged off and haven't logged back on since.

At the moment, the game is fun but it requires too much of a time investment to have some of the features as broken as they are.

The devs are definitely putting out content at a nice pace, however.

Grinder walls, are one of the best things in, survival mode. Do you look for the hidden warhead blocks first, or just repair after grinding?

 

[Orion]

The only ships we've captured with traps are Military Transports, and I know where the single warhead trap is on that. It's quite easy to get to.

Update 01.045

Camera block has been added - now you can see what is happening on different locations. Camera rotation and controlling ships through cameras will be added in the coming weeks. Additional workshop tags for mods have been introduced to make the orientation on workshop easier. It is also possible to make better production building mods. Now you can specify what blueprints are available to production building. It's possible to make production chains and production building tiers. As an example there's a new block 'Arc Furnace’, it is specialized building for iron ore refinement. It refines faster than refinery, it's more efficient and cheaper, but cannot refine anything other than iron ore. In addition to these new changes, we have redesigned the easy start 2 map, and rebalanced the cargo ships, adding new space engineers tech to them both. We have also made it possible to create a hostile identity in your world whilst in creative, this will allow people to make maps for others to play through, with the challenge of hostile ships and stations. Finally, render interpolation has been added as well that will make the game experience smoother. It is currently disabled by default since it is not completed 100%, but it can be turned on in video options.









Features
- Camera block
- Workshop tags for mods
- better production building Modding
- ‘Arc Furnace’ (refinery)
- Easy start 2 redesign
- Cargo ship redesigns
- Add enemy identity

Fixes
- improved rendering performance of solar panels
- improved rendering performance of refinery and assembler
- fixed hacked block getting shot by own turrets
- fixed connector’s issue not being able to collect all items
- fixed ship info screen labels
- fixed issue that player cannot remove blocks from cockpit hot-bars 2, 3 and 4

Summary
The sensor block has been added; you can configure what happens when something enters or leaves from the sensor’s field - the configuration is similar to the button panel. It's also possible to set a filter, so it will trigger events only for small ships, large ships, floating objects or characters. In the future we will add an option to allow filtering based on friend/foe status. Also, flashing options have been added for lights; you can create navigation lights and runways - multiple lights can be synced. Warhead has now timer and also can be detonated remotely through the terminal.

- sensor block
- flashing lights
- warhead terminal controls

Fixes
- added multiplayer lag/slowdown compensation (helps with rubber banding)
- added possibility for name change during dedicated server setup

- fixed unlocked connectors allowing item transfer
- fixed rocket launcher not remembering option to use conveyor system
- fixed crash when locking connectors

- fixed gravity generator model bug
- fixed landing gear attached to pistons could not be unlocked

*Known Issues*
- changing the field of the sensor or loading the game will activate the sensor. This will be changed in the future updates.
- you can't assign the same sensor action for both entering and exiting the sensor's field

How in the goddamn **** do I secure a ship I'm building to the ground so that it won't float off into space the first time I brush into it?

 

[QuailLover]

If you have a landing gear, you can lock it to a surface.
