Hello, Engineers!

We’re excited to introduce Apex Survival, the next major evolution of Space Engineers. This free update brings new survival mechanics to the game, adding food, farming, environmental hazards, meaningful death and a brand-new buff system.

Everything is optional and fully configurable – you can fine-tune the experience to suit your playstyle. Whether you want a hardcore survival challenge where venturing outside a grid is a constant threat, or a relaxed farming loop while building your perfect base, Apex Survival lets you decide how to play.

The Apex Survival Pack includes new decorative blocks accompanying this update – perfect for bringing your bases to life. Add lush greenery, detailed grow spaces, and new design variants to create habitats that feel vibrant and lived-in.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3858380/Space_Engineers__Apex_Survival_Pack/


We’re bringing you all the important gameplay changes for free in our Apex Survival Update.

You don’t need to start a brand-new world to experience the new features (including the new Space encounters) – they can all be enabled on your old saves.




Food is now a core survival mechanic in Apex Survival, enabled by default in all new survival worlds (and off by default in creative mode). A new food bar has been added to the HUD when enabled, giving you another vital resource to manage.

Food consumption is customizable with a new world setting:

  • Disabled – Food system is off
  • Slow – 3 hours from full to empty
  • Moderate (Default) – 1.5 hours
  • Fast – 45 minutes
Let your food bar run dry, and you’ll take damage until death. Drop below 20% food and you’ll face debuffs – losing 1% movement speed per missing percent, and eventually losing the ability to sprint entirely.


🥕 Food Items & Ingredients
Apex Survival introduces 9 new food items that act as ingredients for crafting Meal Packs. While many of these can be eaten raw in a pinch, their nutritional value is limited – combining them into prepared meals is the key to efficient survival. Planning your food supply and crafting recipes will give you a big advantage when living off the land.


🌿 Foraging, Hunting, and Obtaining Food Items
Food in Apex Survival comes from a variety of sources. Algae is your most basic and accessible food source, harvested using the Algae Farm block. It's not glamorous, but it gets the job done, making it ideal for early survival in any environment.

Other ingredients can be found through foraging, hunting, and exploration:

  • New forageable bushes spawn across Pertam, Earthlike and Alien planets. Earthlike is the richest in vegetation, while Pertam is sparse and Alien is rich in edible mushrooms.
  • These can be harvested by hand or via Collector blocks, and they will respawn over time if cleanup conditions are met.
  • Wolves now drop Mammal Meat, and Sabiroids drop Insect Meat.
  • NPCs and Encounters may contain lootable food items, especially in kitchen areas.
  • Unknown Signals often hold seeds, and NPC Trade Stations sell both seeds and food supplies.


🌱 Harvesting Seeds
To start farming, you’ll need seeds - and that’s where the Food Processor comes in. Inside its production menu, you’ll find a "Harvesting" category that allows you to convert Fruit, Grain, Mushroom, and Vegetable items into Seed or Spore Packs. These can then be placed in Farm Plots to begin growing your own renewable food sources.


🌾 Farming
Farming in Apex Survival is split between two key blocks: the Algae Farm and the Farm Plot.

Algae Farms are low-maintenance, sunlight-driven blocks that generate Algae over time. They don’t require special components or upkeep, but their output depends entirely on sun exposure. They’re a great early-game food source and work well in most situations.

Farm Plots are more complex but also far more rewarding. These blocks require active maintenance and care to function efficiently. They come with an internal water tank that must be filled via an attached Irrigation System - a block that processes ice into water for your crops. No water means dead crops.


Farm Plots grow Fruit, Grain, Mushrooms, and Vegetables, each with unique growth speeds, water consumption, and yields. Crops have health values and are sensitive to environmental factors:

  • Running out of water causes gradual health loss.
  • Exposure to vacuum or extreme temperatures kills crops in seconds.
  • Damaging the plot kills the crop.
  • Grinding the plot removes the crop.
  • Crops below 100% health can still be harvested, but with reduced yield.
Each crop passes through multiple growth stages, and once fully grown, water consumption drops by 90%, allowing you to leave crops as decorative elements with minimal upkeep.

Farming interactions:

  • Manual Harvest: Use the management screen to collect crops directly into your inventory.
  • Automated Harvest: Use a Collector on a subgrid placed near the plot to harvest automatically into your grid’s inventory. (Same-grid collection is not supported.)


Farming Tips

  • Water Is Life: The Farm Plot has an internal water tank. It must be filled via an Irrigation System, which processes ice into usable water. Without water, crops quickly lose health and may die.
  • Power Matters: The Farm Plot consumes 20 watts of power. Turning it off disables the light and water intake – but crops will still grow and consume water. Only damage or disabling the block will kill the crop instantly.
  • The built-in light on the Farm Plot is for ambiance only and has no gameplay impact. Turning off the block disables the light and stops water from refilling, but crops will still grow as normal.
  • Growth & Harvest: Each crop type has a full lifecycle with health, growth stages, and a recovery rate. Once mature, they can be harvested manually or automatically using collectors (on subgrids only). If a crop’s health drops to zero, it will perish.
  • Mod-Friendly Design: The Farm Plot supports a wide array of customization for mods, including multiple seed types, growth models, recovery rates, and water needs. Modders can define custom behavior and visuals per crop type – even requiring more seeds for larger plot types.


🥩 Meal Pack Crafting
Survival in Apex isn't just about finding food - it's about making it count. The Survival Kit can craft the most basic ration: Kelp Crisp, made solely from algae. It’s low-effort, low-impact, and great in a pinch.

For more advanced meals, you’ll need the Food Processor. This block serves as a more advanced crafting hub for all food items. In addition to cooking raw Mammal and Insect Meat, making them safe to eat, it offers a wide variety of Meal Pack recipes that use multiple ingredients. The more complex the recipe, the better the food’s nutritional value and the longer it will sustain you.

And good news, everyone: Food never spoils - so you can stock up and prepare in advance for longer journeys or hostile environments.


🎁 Looted/Easter Egg Food Items
We’ve also added rare, loot-only consumables that can’t be crafted in the Food Processor and are only found through exploration, encounters, or looting NPCs. But beware - not everything you scavenge is safe. Some of these "delicacies" might come with unexpected (or unpleasant) side effects.

Are you hungry enough to take the risk? You never know - it might just be worth it…





Apex Survival introduces new mechanics that can make staying alive more rewarding – and dying more costly.

New World Option: Reduced Stats on Respawn
To raise the stakes, the new Reduced Stats on Respawn world option starts you at just 20% across all vitals (health, food, energy, oxygen, and hydrogen) when you respawn outside of a starter craft. It’s no longer just a quick reset – death has become something to avoid.

New World Option: Survival Buffs
With the new Survival Buff system, your character gains powerful bonuses for surviving the dangers of the frontier. Every 45 minutes spent alive grants a level, which gives you significant advantages at maximum level. But beware: dying resets all progress. Survival ensures your hard-earned buffs.

You can check your active buffs at any time with Shift+B, or rebind this in your game options.






Space is no longer just cold and empty – now it’s dangerous, too. Apex Survival adds environmental hazards like weather, radiation, and updated meteor storms that directly affect your survival and your builds.

Radiation
Radiation introduces a persistent environmental threat that challenges players to build smart, stay shielded, and monitor their surroundings.

How Radiation Works:

  • Radiation accumulates when near a source and decreases when no longer exposed.
  • Safe spaces include sealed/pressurized environments, airtight cockpits, and cryopods.
  • At values above 75 radiation, characters begin to take damage.
  • At 100 radiation, damage increases significantly.
  • The character’s radiation level is shown on the HUD.
  • Note: Playing with Radiation requires Airtightness to also be enabled in the world’s settings.
Solar Radiation

  • The sun becomes a radiation emitter.
  • This type of radiation is disabled by default. We view this radiation source as a “Hardcore” player’s setting. There is a dropdown in world settings which modifies the intensity of solar radiation, allowing it to be configured to the player’s desired level of difficulty.
  • Exposure depends on whether the character is in direct sunlight.
  • The atmosphere on Earth-Like, Alien, Titan, and Triton provide full protection.
  • Mars and Pertam provide reduced protection, not enough to prevent exposure over time.
  • The Moon and Europa offer no protection at all.


Planetary Radiation

  • Europa is now a source of radiation, exposing the character to higher amounts the closer they get to the surface.
Weather-Based Radiation

  • Certain weather conditions are now radioactive:
  • Electric Storms on Pertam
  • Toxic Haze on the Alien planet
  • Rain has a cleansing effect, gradually reducing radiation buildup.
Block-Based Radiation

  • Damaged reactors now leak radiation. The closer the character is to the damaged reactor, the higher their exposure level.
  • Unlike other sources, this radiation is powerful and can leak through grids and structures - there is no cover, and it can be very dangerous if left unattended.
  • Reactor size directly impacts the amount of radiation gained per second, and also dictates the size of the contaminated area.
  • Only Nuclear Reactor blocks are impacted, the Prototech Fusion Reactor does not emit radiation when damaged.
Radiation Countermeasures

  • A new consumable has been added: Anti-Radiation MedKit
  • Grants 10 minutes of immunity from all radiation sources.
  • Gradually clears accumulated radiation over 30 seconds.
  • This item can not be crafted, and can only be looted from encounters and NPC storage.


Weather Hazards
All weather effects have been updated with new values and improved visuals. Some extreme weather types are now directly hazardous to characters, dealing damage over time when exposed. Grids are not affected, and shelter will fully protect characters from these effects.

  • Sandstorms can be encountered on Mars, Titan, Pertam, Earthlike and Alien planets.
  • Hailstorms can be encountered on Mars, Titan, Triton, Earthlike and Alien planets.
  • Caustic Rain and Toxic Haze can be encountered on the Alien Planet.
  • Electric Storms can be encountered on Pertam.


Meteors
Meteors have been reworked to feel more natural and immersive. Meteors can still damage players and grids, they’re no longer a primary threat – instead, they bring excitement to otherwise quiet corners of the universe.

  • Meteors no longer target grids directly. Instead, they spawn near the player and pass through the area, adding atmospheric flair rather than devastation.
  • A new event system ensures that meteor showers don’t stack in multiplayer – no more getting hit repeatedly just because you’re near other players.
  • Meteors no longer deform voxels or leave craters on impact.
  • Planets like Earthlike and Alien have thick atmospheres that block meteors entirely, making them safe zones.





Apex Survival brings a fresh batch of content to space with 30 brand-new Space Encounters. These new encounters offer a wide range of gameplay – from curious exploration opportunities and light storytelling to unexpected dangers that will challenge your survival instincts. All legacy encounters have been removed, ensuring every encounter you discover feels new and purpose-built for the current game experience.

These random Encounters remain a space-exclusive feature and spawn only at predefined locations determined by your world seed. The system itself hasn't changed, but to improve clarity, the world setting formerly known as “Encounter Density” has been renamed to “Random Encounter Density.” This setting still controls how frequently these encounters appear in your world.


Reorganized World Settings
The world settings menu has been streamlined and reorganized into clear, intuitive categories. Settings are now grouped based on their function, making it easier to find and adjust the options that matter most for your gameplay style.

Additionally, tooltips for all world settings have been revised for clarity - giving you better insight into how each setting affects your survival experience.





We’ve substantially increased the drop rates for all skins on Steam from Unknown Signals until September 22. Strong Unknown Signals, which have a chance to drop the rarest skins, are especially rewarding during this period. We’ve also reduced the cooldown between possible skin drops, so you’ll have more chances to earn cosmetic rewards as you play.

Happy hunting, Engineers!






The next 208 update will bring a welcome focus on bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements. We’re also researching the much-requested joystick support, and we still have a few surprises up our sleeve.

Over the past updates, we've reworked nearly every aspect of PvE: Prototech, Factorum global encounters and planetary encounters in Contact, Cargo Ships and Unknown Signals in Fieldwork, and now Hazards and Space Encounters in Apex Survival. The last major piece of that PvE puzzle? Economy stations and missions in the 209 update.

We can’t wait to show you what’s next.










Algae Farm (1 block, L grid) - The Algae Farm passively produces a very small amount of the algae item for use in crafting rations. When in sunlight this block produces items, which are deposited directly into its own inventory. Efficiency is dependent upon how direct the sun exposure is on the block.




Farm Plot (1 block, L grid) - An open planter bed with soil at the center. Perfect for cultivating a wide range of crops.




Irrigation System (1 block, L grid) - This block consumes ice and distributes water to all connected planter beds.




Food Processor (1 block, L grid) - An advanced food preparation and packaging system capable of crafting a wide range of meal packs and harvesting seeds and spores for gardening.







We are always looking for ways to improve, and that includes adding value to prior releases. During this update, we are adding new content to Fieldwork Pack.

Those who already own Fieldwork Pack will get this content for free, as part of the update.




Corridor Round Door Inv. (1 block, L grid) - Mirrored version of Round Passage Door.







Similar to our previous major releases, we hope you will take this opportunity to support the continued development of Space Engineers. This DLC pack consists of cosmetic items that enrich your game visually. None of the features in this package provide any advantage to players who purchase this DLC.

The price of the Apex Survival Pack is $4.99 USD or your regional equivalent. Show your continued support for Space Engineers and check out the Apex Survival Pack.




Welder Type II (1 block, L grid + 1 block, S grid) - A production-line inspired welder that adds a bold, mechanical aesthetic to your engineering projects.




Grinder Type II (1 block, L grid + 1 block, S grid) - Let your salvage rig tear down grids in style with this heavy industrial grinder!




Drill Type II (1 block, L grid + 1 block, S grid) - A bucket-scoop style drill built for heavy duty excavation operations.




Half Oxygen Farm (1 block, L grid) - Designed for both functionality and style, this Oxygen Farm can provide breathable air while also serving as a decorative wallpiece.




Half Algae Farm (1 block, L grid) - Dual glass water reservoirs which house large masses of alien kelp that can be harvested and processed into foodstuffs.




Inset Terrarium Desert (1 block, L grid) - A small slice of Pertam, carried with you on your adventures. Houses multiple insect species which are well suited for harsh environments.




Inset Terrarium Forest (1 block, L grid) - A self-contained habitat reminiscent of lush forest regions on an Earthlike planet, filled with diverse and vibrant forms of life.




Inset Planter (1 block, L grid) - A decorative planter bed fastened to a slow spinning circular frame, perfect for compact spaces and low gravity environments.




Survival Kit Type II (1 block, L grid + 1 block, S grid) - The key part of surviving harsh alien worlds is having the right equipment at your disposal. This vertically oriented Survival Kit is all you need to establish a foothold in a new, dangerous region.




Ore Detector Type II (1 block, L grid + 1 block, S grid) - Scan the surface of alien worlds in style!




Storage Bin Set (3 blocks, L grid) - Flexible fabric containers for bulk goods, arranged in loose stacks or firmly strapped to pallets for transport.




Conduit Set (11 blocks, L grid) - Twisting runs of electrical conduits, perfect for adding visual complexity and an industrial aesthetic to your builds.




Warning Signs (3 blocks, L grid + 3 blocks, S grid) - Don’t be caught off guard, just beyond that door there’s radiation, extreme temperatures, and…Mmmm, Seared Sabiroid!

Hello, Engineers!

Do you think you’ve already seen everything the void has to offer?

In Apex Survival update, space encounters are getting a complete overhaul. We’ve rebuilt them from the ground up using all the new blocks and features available today – plus a few debuting in this update, like actions triggered by an offensive AI controller.

Pirates lurking in the darkness, remnants of unlucky entrepreneurs, wreckage and salvage ripe for the taking, and engineers in need of a hand – you’ll find it all out there. Be prepared and stay sharp, because you won’t know exactly what you’re dealing with until you’re right in the middle of it.

You know what they say about gazing into the void...

Our favorite pastime is browsing through the workshop - we are in love with all the creations our players are constantly sharing. 💫

We can't wait every month to spotlight mods and blueprints that catch our eye and have the potential to make your time in Space Engineers more interesting and unique.

Here is our spotlight for the month of August! 🤩

Image Credit: Clang City




Eli Dang's Holo Hud by 0-Fenix-0
This is an open source updated branch of Polygon Cherub's original Eli Dang's Holo Hud =D

I've made quite a few changes (Including Active vs Passive radar), and many optimizations.



LK - Combat: Revitalised
LK - Combat: Revitalised is a mod designed to address numerous issues with Space Engineers' Combat mechanics and balancing, giving it a complete overhaul in the process whilst remaining true to Vanilla where possible.



Stargate: Lantean and Goa'uld Interiors by aczel2
Stargate: Lantean and Goa'uld Interiors mod. Corridor elements, doors, consoles, hieroglyphs and much more!

Goa'uld and Lantean consoles require Tech Crystal, which can be crafted in the Assembler.



Bitmap Research Outpost by maraz
This world is a demonstration of the Space Engineers Bitmap Animation Builder, which allows players to create custom bitmap graphics as well as bitmap animations of arbitrary length, and show them on any display on any block.

Animations can also be broadcast to friendly grids using a transmitter and receiver system.



Fieldwork Colorable Experiments by Aikagi
Back with another small mod after years on hiatus. The Feildwork dlc inspired so much mischief in me that I had to dust off the old skills and try my hand at modding again.

All those bubbly liquids had me screaming "science!" like Bill Nye.



Concrete Mixer by JejeServeur
Add a Concrete Mixer to make your concrete bags.

Inspired by the series "Ares at War Co-op with ‪CaptainShack‬" by Splitsie.



Hacking Computer - Meketreve Flavor
This is an enhanced version of the popular Hacking Computer mod that adds significant improvements for NPC block handling.



Voxel Checker by Echthros
Helper tool that lists the defined voxels for each mod to help keep track of how many new voxels are being defined.



Prototech Armor by Witold
This is a mod that adds a new type of armor to the game.

It is a little more durable than heavy armor, lighter by about 50% and quite expensive.



CMDBob's Weapons and Turrets Remastered
Remaster of the legendary mod by CMDbob!

Now updated and fixed to work in modern Space Engineers!



PolyTech Encounters-MES by STUV
A functional Space Invaders Arcade Cabinet.

Controls: use A and D to move. Space to shoot.



Escape Room by AeQuArTz
Your objective is to escape using the Railgun Turret. However, the Railgun is in a state of disrepair, misaligned, uncharged, and unloaded. You will acquire what you need from the surrounding rooms to prepare the Railgun, but much of it is stuck behind puzzles and codes.



Cyber Train - Earth Railway System by hanels
Bi-rail wailway system is one of my most advanced systems.

There are no active mods. Only one script for cruise control.



Grid Planets - Builder's Set by Riebeck
Silly little project of mine, main gimmick is a grid planet that's all ready to edit and work on, and includes a working atmosphere and rings.

Also includes a Mini Earthlike for reference of what's possible.





We also have a Creator Spotlight series of articles on our Community Hub!




Creator Spotlight: Colonial Republic Navy
‘Hydra’ Class Corvette, ‘Kelpie’ Class Destroyer, and more!



Creator Spotlight: Lemon
APC-277 Keranos, LC-276 Barbatos, AC – 264 Monarch, and more!!

Works on Space Engineers Update 1.207 are in full swing. Here’s a sneak peek of what happens to your crops in space when you forget to close the doors. Pro tip: vacuum is not great for vegetables!


And where do you get seeds for your farm plots? A wild bush appears!

Forage the surfaces of planets like Earthlike, Pertam, or Alien to find harvestable plants and mushrooms.

Our favorite pastime is browsing through the workshop - we are in love with all the creations our players are constantly sharing. 💫

We can't wait every month to spotlight mods and blueprints that catch our eye and have the potential to make your time in Space Engineers more interesting and unique.

Here is our spotlight for the month of July! 🤩




Fracture Warheads: ZedexPlayz
This mod works as a regular warhead however upon detonation, the warhead deletes nearby grids and spawns them as fragments from their position which they are then scattered.

Fragments thresholds and their sizes are configurable allowing you to edit, add or remove thresholds along with processing settings.



Heat Management System by The Screw-Up Team
Batteries too chill? Thrusters running a fever? Vents just blowing hot air?

This mod brings a whole new layer of engineering challenge to your grids: HEAT!



Midnight Shield Systems by Nerd e1
We here at Midnight Corporation are pleased to announce our latest in defense technologies - shields! Don't question how they work, we don't know either.

Trusted by both navies and civilians, our shielding will weather enough fire for you to run away or shoot back. Your choice!



Kratos Program by TheRebornAce
My largest weapon mod pack! Arm your ships with a variety of naval weaponry with multiple ammo type options for selected weapons.

Full build stages included and survival ready.



Grid Growth Core by Silentor
This is a grid upgrade system mod designed for Space Engineers.

By installing the Growth Core block, your ships and stations can dynamically level up and grow stronger over time or through combat, adding RPG elements to your gameplay.



Wormhole Drilling by Silentor
This redesigned version offers slow but steady resource acquisition through spatial distortion technology.



Cosmic Radiation by cptnoname
While we wait to see what Keen cooks up for 1.207, this cosmic radiation system for Space Engineers integrates seamlessly with Eat.Sleep.Drink.Repeat! (EDSR) and Eat.Sleep.Drink.Repeat.Advanced! (EDSRA).

With the exception of player production of Anti-Radiation injections, it also works in Vanilla.



GFA - Mining Guild Faction (MES) by enenra
The Mining Guild is an organization operating in large parts of the galaxy, and a major collaborator of the Galactic Empire.

In exchange for providing raw materials at heavily discounted prices, the Guild was able to avoid direct integration into the imperial apparatus - for now.



JSElevatorShip by JejeServeur
A brand-new elevator block allows your ship/rover to move up and down WITHOUT using a piston/rotor/hinge + sub-grid system.

Available in several variants from 1 to 9 blocks.



Tom&Nameless ScFi Turret Pack
ScFi 30mm CIWS Turret, 5"/38 Mark12, Nameless Tech No.8 RailGun Turret, and more!



LandingComputer by El Sheranius
This Mod adds a Display App to the Game. This Display then will look for Connectors on the Grid and from this Connectors outgoing it will looks for other Connectors not on the Grid.

The closest pair will be used to show two markers and the relative Position to each other.



Corridor Round Cryo And Medical by TheSlaveOne
Corridor Round Cryo and Medical - Medical 2x1x1 5 conveyor ports, Cryo in 6 conveyor ports.



These Frickin Transition Blocks by Kitten Saffia
I looked and looked and looked and maybe I'm blind but I could not for the life of me find these types of blocks in vanilla SE or any armour mods.

So I went and made my own.



CustomTurretController by El Sheranius
Script for Setting up Custom Turret Controller and check them if everything looks right.

What do you need? Beside a Programmable Block with this script, you need a Custom Turret Controller and an Advanced Rotor.



Canyon Race - Time Trial by ÆGIR
Get ready to defy gravity and push your piloting skills to the limit in the Canyon Race Time Trial!

This is the very world the AEC (Aegir Builds & Beats and Engineered Coffee) used for our official race event, meticulously crafted with 42 challenging rings and a unique, breathtaking angelic finish ring, all brilliantly designed by Ammorok.



TIE Fighter, Interceptor & Bomber Collection by Alec R.
"For every TIE Fighter you shoot down, a thousand more will take it's place."

Hello, Engineers!

The upcoming 1.207 update for Space Engineers brings many new gameplay elements to survival mode. One of our core goals is to change how players view their character. We want players to feel invested in their character’s well-being and continued survival.

Alongside other new systems which support this goal, we’re introducing environmental hazards that directly threaten that renewed sense of care - putting your engineer in serious danger.

One of the first hazards you’re likely to encounter on your journey comes in the form of overhauled weather events. These have been adjusted both visually and functionally. Sandstorms are no longer a temporary visual backdrop – they’re a dynamic and dangerous situation that must be planned for, endured, and overcome. Grids may become safe havens as these storms batter and choke the region.

Surviving the storm is just the beginning, more dangers lurk just over the horizon.

Here is our spotlight for the month of June! 🤩




Uprising Weapon Pack by 50 COW
50+ HIgh quality weapons models each with their own playstyle.

Cannons, Railguns, guided missiles, Energy weapons, and more!



ProtoHacks+ by REV4666
This mod adds a set of unique blocks that require Prototech components to build.

It also increases the chance and quantity of Prototech components dropped from vanilla spawns.



Soteria Effort - Countermeasures Weapon Pack by TheRebornAce
My first and very small Vanilla+ weapon mod pack.

This is purely a defensive mod pack and provides no additional destructive power advantage.



Tritanite Induction Powerplants by ZedexPlayz
This mod introduces a set of custom-designed reactor blocks tailored for survival mode, complete with build stages and LOD support.



Self-Maintenance Unit by Silentor
This is a high-performance automatic welding and construction system, similar to , but with lower performance consumption.



Advanced Mining Charges by ZedexPlayz
I developed this mod to provide a destructive means of mining for my personal survival worlds that spawns ore where the voxel is destroyed.



NiteOwl Sci-Fi Comms Pack by MTGraves
Pack offers all blocks in both Large Grid and Small Grid as well as in functional radio blocks and décor blocks to avoid HUD icon clutter.



Energy Defense Shield by Silentor
The shield is controlled by a control block that consumes power - only one control block can function on a single grid.

You can adjust the charge rate and shield capacity via sliders in the control terminal.



183mm Heavy Cannon by Harbinger Ace
A heavy cannon chambering depleted-uranium HESH-ish rounds. Designed for tank-destroyers and bunker-busting, but can really be used for anything.

Yes, that includes anti-infantry.

CHKN CO Dashboard by CHKNFRYRMN

NovaSpark Conveyor
Enhance your conveyor systems with the NovaSpark Conveyor mod!

This mod introduces specialized corner duct blocks designed to provide smooth, efficient routing for your conveyor networks.



Firstofficered's Extra Blocks Mod
This started out as simple transitional pieces for armor, allowing more options, but since I was seeing a lot of blocks that probably should've been in the game, yet weren't, I decided to add what I could think of.



Clang Kitchen by JejeServeur
This is a state-of-the-art integrated kitchen with a cozy and intimate interior.

Space Chiefs love it, everything at their fingertips for preparing delicious meals.

With the optional food settings coming in the 1.207 survival update, we’ll be adding a number of blocks to the game to support that system. Last month we gave you an early look at farming, this month it’s all about food prep and ration crafting!

The Food Processor is a small factory which allows you to prepare and combine the various food items you’ve grown or gathered and craft a wide variety of ration packs.

Now - who ordered the seared Sabiroid?

Hello, Engineers!

New major update for Space Engineers 2 has been released!

With Vertical Slice 1.5, we’re introducing the first phase of modding support for Space Engineers 2. This includes the release of the VRAGE3 Mod HUB (a tool for mod creation, management and publishing) and VRAGE3 Mod Editor (a tool for creating mod content). These are the same tools our designers and artists use to build Space Engineers 2.

You are now able to create, modify, and preview content with ease directly in the VRAGE3 engine using a visual, game-integrated workflow.



Porting Guidelines Between SE1 and SE2

With the release of modding support for Space Engineers 2, we want to clarify our stance on straight porting blocks between Space Engineers 1 and Space Engineers 2. Porting vanilla blocks from SE1 to SE2 is allowed. However, porting DLC content from SE1 to SE2 is not, and porting any SE2 content back to SE1 is also not allowed.
That said, this applies strictly to direct block ports. If you're creating your own blocks from scratch, inspired by designs from Space Engineers (including DLCs), that's totally fine – a pipe is a pipe is a pipe.


Celebratory Sale

This update marks a major milestone for our incredible modding community, a true cornerstone of Space Engineers. Their creativity, innovation, and dedication have helped shape the game in extraordinary ways, and we believe that’s something worth celebrating.

We’re deeply grateful for the passion and support of our players whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or just joined the journey.

To welcome new engineers and continue growing the community, we’re offering a 20% discount until July 1st. Jump in now and help shape the next chapter of Space Engineers 2.

Keen Software House Annual Meetup
Like many studios, we went remote during the COVID pandemic. What started as a necessity became a strength - we discovered that fully remote development works. Since then, we’ve welcomed more and more talented, creative engineers, artists, designers, programmers and dreamers from all over the world.



But once a year, we all come together in person at our HQ in the Oranžerie. It’s a tradition that’s become a vital part of our culture - a chance to reconnect, reflect, and recharge. No matter how many virtual meetings we have, nothing beats seeing your team face-to-face. Every meetup is a breath of fresh air, reminding us that this isn’t just a job - it’s a shared journey.


Over the years, we’ve grown not just in size and experience, but in connection. What started as colleagues working on a game has become something deeper: a global team of friends, united by a shared love for games, creativity, and of course - Space Engineers.



During the meetup, the Space Engineers 2 team surprised us with screenshots from our latest internal build - they were jaw dropping and I simply have to share them with you!





As the meetup came to an end, no one was in a hurry to leave. After a few days of talking, planning, laughing, and just being together, it was hard to say goodbye. We're already looking forward to the next one – and to everything we'll build together in the year ahead.

We’re working on a brand new advanced Survival Mode. This is not just a modification of the current survival system, but a separate experience designed for players looking for deeper gameplay.

Our next update will introduce new survival systems, including environmental hazards that change how you explore and build, and mechanics like food management and farming that will play a key role in staying alive on the frontier.


All of these features will be configurable when creating your world, so you can tailor survival to match your playstyle – whether you're after a hardcore challenge or something more laid-back. More details coming soon!
