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! 🤩







Scriptilyx by ChaosVROne
Scriptilyx is built for beginners who want to create Space Engineers programmable block scripts without having to write code from scratch.

You build scripts visually using nodes, connect them together, generate the script, and paste it into Space Engineers Programmable block.








Voltea System by Sorry_an_Error_has_Occurred
A system designed for a friend.








Orbital NPC Spawns by cptnoname
Orbital NPC Spawns (ONS) solves a classic Space Engineers problem: when you are moving at hundreds or thousands of m/s, vanilla and modded NPC grids often spawn completely motionless, immediately disappearing behind you or lithobraking into planetary surfaces.



Taming the Giant - Orbiting Khora by Sarekh
This is a lore driven survival scenario placed in an earlier, more limited and primitive time of the Akhinnae Empire. You do not build, you scrap and repurpose, you finish missions to gain access to more material to establish a first outpost on the moon in orbit of the system’s gas giant.



Toya's Economy Additions
This is a very simple mod that just adds all my builds (even unreleased ones!) to the economy stations ingame.








Humanoid's Retro Command Module
A simple mod that adds Apollo-styled Command Pod cockpit for small grids.



Humanoid's Retractable Solar Panels
This mod adds a retractable 1x1x5 solar panel for small grids.



Hermes Program (Thruster-Drive Mod Pack) by TheRebornAce
Welcome to my next biggest modpack in the series introducing thrusters and drive systems! This mod includes large and powerful thruster blocks to help propel your largest ships with ease.



Gas Storage Expansion 2 by Lynx
Hydrogen tanks for leaner fuel builds.
Compact cylinders, tall stacks, big spheres, plus armored and structural braced variants.



JC SCAVENGER - Autonomous Salvage Drone Platform by JCataclisma
Think of it as a much smarter evolution of the vanilla Programmable Block, acting like a fully autonomous, mobile version of the famous NanoBot... except YOU design and build the robot.



Rad-Purge Medical Station by Eugen
This mod turns the vanilla decorative Medical Station into a functional radiation cleansing unit.



Breaching Charge by JejeServeur
An obstacle, a nuisance, a pirate? Have fun turning it into Swiss cheese!



TractorBeam by JejeServeur
Catch grids like the Empire or simply move grids - the choice is yours.



Personal Helper Drone by JejeServeur
Need help with building, recycling, and mining? Use your new personal assistance drone.



TTC Mining Barrel Charge by Hatt
TTC Mining Barrel Charge is a large-grid mining explosive designed to harvest ore from voxel explosions.
Place the charge against an ore deposit, arm it, and detonate it. The block scans the surrounding voxel material before detonation and spawns floating ore based on the destroyed ore content.



Tiered Modular Power Extension by Kylo
Expand Modular Powercore Batteries with denser Powercore modules and a full T0–T4 fast-charging frame progression. Build higher-tier charging matrices to increase frame input from the standard rate up to 6x.









ARPANET Email Terminal by Tridonian
This is a Terminal that can write and send Emails to other versions of this blueprint connected to it's network. No scripts or mods are used.
Made using over 6000 Timer Blocks to make dozens of interconnected programs.



Ship Insurance by OB
Ship Insurance adds server-authoritative grid insurance, paid repairs, and ship recovery to the Economy 2 Services Terminal.
Insure a ship through the terminal and the mod records a clean snapshot of its complete mechanically connected grid group.



Handheld Hacker Grid Takeover by Loitrem
Equip your chosen hacker tool from your inventory and use the Primary Action key while aiming at an enemy block (functional blocks only) to deploy a portable hacker. Once deployed, the device will begin decrypting the grid’s security. Once the process is complete, the ownership of your target is overridden to you.



Airstrikes by Critz
Call in real fire support from the terminal. Air Strike Command adds 10 deployable strike types to Space Engineers — craft a token at the assembler, hold it in your hand, and drop ordinance on any GPS coordinate with a single chat command.



HMS.U235 - Realistic Reactors by The Screw-Up Team
Vanilla reactors in Space Engineers are… a box that makes power. Flip the switch, collect the watts.
HMS.U235 fixes that. Now you'll learn why so many people are afraid of nuclear reactors. ☢️



Recolor Suite - Gradient Ship Painter by mcluvin51
Repaint an entire ship with a live, adjustable gradient, re-texture it with real DLC/vanilla skins, or both - without touching a single block by hand.



Vanilla Paint by Tridonian
No scripts or mods used. (6000 Event Controllers, 2000 Timer Blocks, 1500 Light Panels as Pixels, 144,000 PCU)
It has 8 color options, 2 brush sizes, and can completely be controlled with mouse and keyboard inputs with only hotkey 1 being needed to start controlling the curser.



Sorted Cargo Container by Tony
Self-sorting cargo for your whole base. Switch on Sorted Cargo on any cargo container, tell it what to hold, and it pulls those items to itself off the conveyor network. Opt-in per container; anything you never touch stays exactly like vanilla.



Service Terminal Framework by OB
Service Terminal Framework turns the Economy 2 Services Terminal into a shared access point for vanilla services and services added by other mods.



Vanilla To WC Converter by Nerd e1
Adding this mod to a save game will attempt to convert any vanilla-based block weapons within all mods to a WeaponCore-compatible format, allowing you to combine them with WeaponCore weapon mods. It currently is not compatible with Vanilla+ weapons.



EconomyCore by Yūrei.dll
EconomyCore is a server-authoritative bridge from the Space Engineers ModAPI to Programmable Blocks. It exposes discovered NPC station metadata, proximity-gated market observations, the NPC market reachable through the PB's docked connector, and guarded buy/sell request paths; trading decisions remain in PB scripts.



Projector+ API by Master-Control-Program
Projector+ API is a lightweight script extender that gives Programmable Blocks direct access to projector functions.



Working Knowledge by Nurphed
A salvage-first progression overhaul for Space Engineers survival.
Working Knowledge gives veteran Space Engineers players a new survival progression experience.



Resource Radar by Loitrem
Allows you to transform standard ship monitors and LCD panels into active, radar consoles. Scan your surroundings for valuable ore deposits, harvestable crops, temporary containers, and nearby grids and track them in real-time right from your dashboard! Scans 120 degrees in front of cockpit.



S.E.A.N Project by Wellington6012
Designed to bring a little more life and personality to your Space Engineers experience, S.E.A.N is a personal suit assistant providing useful, situationally aware audible warnings as you explore, build and survive.
Rather than simply telling you that something is low, S.E.A.N considers what that warning means for the environment you're operating in.



Unified Flight OS by Tel_Arin
Unified Flight OS is a complete autopilot, navigation, HUD, and flight control script for Space Engineers. Built for zero lag and maximum reliability, it handles everything from heavy carriers and combat warships to small fighters and planetary landers.



Bees Space Net by Queen Bee
Basically the Internet (non encrypted) for Space Engineers
Design your own websites!



Simple Autopilot by Loitrem
Add your cockpit to your hotbar and add whatever actions you want. Then just turn them on and off as needed.



Broad - Auto Refinery Base Manager by reyツ
Broad watches your refinery base so you don't have to.



Smart Cargo Filters by ogrimdooh
Take control of your logistics by adding configurable filters directly to Cargo Containers.
Instead of relying on multiple Conveyor Sorters, each cargo container can now decide exactly which items it accepts using customizable filtering rules.



LOS LCD Script by mentalis
This script allows real-time monitoring from any LCD on your grid.
It utilizes a custom touch interface to let you customize everything right from the cockpit or a local panel.



Rotor Displacement Legs Script by Cheezy Proot :3
Changes displacement in a sinewave pattern when forward or backwards is triggered on a specified seat, effectively makes a vertical + forward/backward facing rotor combination work as a mech leg.
You can stack rotors to make them go quite fast!



(Script) "LCC-1" Light Combat Crawler by Toya
...is a Scripted and thus smoother version of the normal LCC-1, which only runs on Timer Blocks. This version is also a lot smarter.



Fleet Control - Escort by Tel_Arin
Put the fleet leader in fleet:stand mode move your escorts around the drones they need to follow and go back to the leader and use the fleet:reg_all argument to register the position of all follower escorts.



Acquisitions Todo LCD App by The Klang Is Good
This mod adds a LCD app which shows a summary of items needed to complete all accepted acquisition contracts.



Scriptless Thrust-Vectoring by John Long
Completely vanilla thrust-vectoring!
No Mods, no scripts, no gimmicks.

Hello, Engineers!

Apparently, the Factorum have not shown us everything they have been hiding.

New rumors are spreading through the void: strange signals and valuable Prototech waiting for any engineer bold enough to go after it. Of course, that means some of you are already plotting the fastest way in - and the most explosive way out.

A new Factorum Global Encounter has been added into your worlds. Track it down, break through their defenses, and see what secrets you can bring back in one piece. As always, getting your hands on it will not be as simple as grinding down a few blocks and flying home.

Hello, Engineers!

The Prosperity Update makes Space Engineers feel more alive, useful, and rewarding: better economy services, safer grid recovery, and more ways to build the kind of base, station, or ship that feels great.

Explore a new Factorum encounter and hunt down the new Prototech O2/H2 Generator, track missing ships with the new Ping Grid button, and enjoy improvements to Projector, Contracts, the Services Terminal and economy systems.
We’ve also added a small grid Flat Collector - a handy new block for all the farmers among you.
Everything in this update is free. Alongside it, we're releasing the Prosperity Pack with new decorative blocks and variants to expand your creative options.

If you own Space Engineers, everything below is yours - no extra purchase needed.

New Factorum Encounter
Apparently, the Factorum have not shown us everything they have been hiding. New rumors are spreading through the void: strange signals and valuable Prototech waiting for any engineer bold enough to go after it. Of course, that means some of you are already plotting the fastest way in - and the most explosive way out.

A new Factorum Global Encounter has been added into your worlds. Track it down, break through their defenses, and see what secrets you can bring back in one piece. As always, getting your hands on it will not be as simple as grinding down a few blocks and flying home.


Services Terminal & Economy Improvements
Economy 2 added new ways to store, repair, recover, and salvage grids. With this update, we focused on making those systems clearer, safer, and more predictable in normal gameplay.

Services Terminals now give you better feedback about what is happening with your stored grids. If a grid cannot be stored or deployed yet, the terminal should do a better job explaining why - for example, if the grid is moving, recently damaged, or otherwise not ready. This should make grid storage feel less like a black box and more like a proper station service.

We’ve also improved how grid retrieval works. Server owners can now control whether stored grids can be pulled from very distant locations, and retrieval timing can take distance into account. For players, this means Economy 2 servers can be tuned for different playstyles - from convenient ship storage to more grounded logistics where location matters.


Precision deployment is getting a useful improvement too. You can now set the Precision Mode marker to your current character position, making it much easier to bring a stored grid back exactly where you need it. Less guessing, less nudging, fewer “almost perfect” deployments.

Repair, salvage, and storage rules have also been tightened up. Grids with hostile blocks attached are now handled more carefully, helping prevent cases where players could bypass hacking or ownership rules through station services. Modders and scenario creators also get more flexibility, including new options for enabling repair and salvage services on player-made grids.

Player stores also have a new option to opt out of Item Search. This gives shop owners more control over how their listings appear, especially if they want to run a more private store, keep certain offers local, or avoid cluttering global search results. Your store can still exist and function normally - it just does not have to advertise every listing to everyone through Item Search.

We’ve also improved some of the wording around Store Blocks and Market Search, making listings and search behavior easier to understand.

Overall, these changes should make Economy 2 feel more reliable in day-to-day play - whether you are storing a hauler, recovering a damaged ship, running a server, or building a custom scenario.


Projector Functionality Improvements
We’ve cleaned up several projector controls and UI behaviors. Movement and rotation directions should feel more consistent, sliders should behave more predictably, and projector settings that were previously locked at various stages can now be manipulated at any time.. The goal is simple: less fighting the interface, more building the grid you actually wanted to build - especially when working with complex blueprints or finishing repairs after a rough encounter.

Ping Button for Lost Grids
Lost your ship again? It happens. Space is big, GPS management is a lifestyle, and sometimes your favorite grid ends up somewhere you definitely meant to remember.

The new Ping Grid button helps with that. From the Info screen, you can now generate a GPS point for one of your grids, making it much easier to track down ships, rovers, stations, and other creations you may have misplaced during your adventures.

The GPS point marks the grid’s current location and stays available until you remove it, so you can find your way back later. It’s a simple improvement, but for anyone who has ever lost a mining ship, scout rover, or “temporary” construction platform - this one should save some headaches.


Modernized Space Respawn Ship
The Space Respawn Ship has been modernized and rebuilt with survival in mind. Important systems are easier to see at a glance, so new and returning engineers can better understand what the ship has, what it needs, and how to keep it flying. It should serve as a better starting point - giving you exactly what you need to start your adventure out in 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 June! 🤩







semaptools.com by Zer0limit
Interactive maps that lets you chart, receive and paste gps points from in game and vise versa. 2D, 3D and solar system map available. It also has a thruster calculator, Jump calculator, Resource Processing Calculator and Crafting calculator. Upload your blueprint or manually insert your grids stats and it's all tested for you.








Planet Prithvi Ghara by Jeckle
"The Old Growth of Pertam"








Conway's 'Game of Life' by Tridonian
A recreation of John Conway's Game of Life cell simulation made entirely from timer blocks and light panels. No mods or scrips were used.



Orbital NPC Spawns by cptnoname
Orbital NPC Spawns fixes a Space Engineers gap: at hundreds or thousands of m/s, vanilla and modded NPC grids often spawn motionless, lithobrake, or disappear behind you. ONS intercepts eligible dynamic spawns at creation, assigns a plausible pass-by or drift, disables dampeners briefly, then returns control to MES/vanilla AI.



Minecraft In SpaceEngineers by James
Don't take this too seriously, I was just trying to push the limits and see what the programmable blocks could be capable of.



MES Mobile Merchants V2 by Space Ace
A rewritten MES mod based on the original MES Mobile Merchants mod.
Special thanks to Gaz, for creating the original mod and ShootingManGold, for helping me immensely with ship behavior setup!



Mecha Respawn Pack by Lost-Crays
Start your survival journey inside a fully operational mech instead of a traditional respawn pod.



Economy 236 Stations by Empada
This is a save where I modified the Sandbox.sbc to have 236 economy stations. it has also 17 factions besides the 4 that always spawn. (SPRT, SPID, FCTM,UNKW).
The factions are separated per planets: Earth/Moon, Mars/Europa, Alien/Titan, Pertam/Triton.



Volsung Industries: Hostile Takeover - Economy Integration by Substicious
Volsung Industries has officially expanded its operational footprint. The economy sector now belongs to us.
Our premium fleet roster is now integrated directly into existing commercial Economy Stations across the system.








Monorail Tracks by biter_please
Monorail tracks, S-Bends, Arcs with different bank degrees and appropriate transitions to each bank, Ramps, and more!



Maglev Reinvented by Lorenzo Béné
Maglev Reinvented adds a draw-your-own-track maglev system to Space Engineers.
Instead of placing fixed rail blocks piece by piece, you build a rail network using nodes, then generate maglev guide rails between them. The idea is to give players a flexible transport system that feels more like designing infrastructure than placing a normal vehicle.



Small Grid Prototech Assembler by KevMeUp
Small Grid Prototech Refinery. Intended for small grid playthroughs.
Also allows crafting of normal (full) assembler items.



Resource Node Miner by KevMeUp
Mining units you can place over any ore patch to generate ore over time without damaging voxels.
This version is heavily balanced to fit well into a standard survival game, will scale automatically with your world settings, and should be easy to understand and use.



Turret Pack V2 by Silentor
Adds 6 large-grid auto turrets, each 3×3×3, effective range 800 m, using vanilla ammunition.



Energy Defense Shield V2 by Silentor
Shield control module: after takeover, protects grids in the Mechanical connection group — consumes power to maintain the shield and absorb damage. Terminal sliders set capacity and recharge rate; pilot HUD while driving. One block each for large and small grid.



Hacking Computer by JejeServeur
This block will allow you to "hack" a grid (ship or station).



Grid Scanner by JejeServeur
Here is a block that will allow you to scan an NPC's grid remotely and see its inventory.



Autonomous Mining Drill by JejeServeur
Find your ore vein and mine it with your autonomous laser mining drill.



Pipes Junctions by Igi_PL
A full cube to give more options for attaching blocks from the AQD - Conveyored Pipes mod by enenra.



Small Grid Balanced Jump Drive by KevMeUp
Small Grid Jump Drive Balanced perfectly with Vanilla.
Used the exact same ratio between Prototech large and small to decide the ratio between normal large and small.



HD LCD Displays by PingoPete
Increases render/texture resolution of all vanilla-block LCD panel displays by double.








The Research Mod by PepperJack
Pepco TechPrints turns building in Space Engineers into a progression you actually earn. By default you can build almost nothing - instead you unlock blocks by collecting TechPrints: schematic datapads you create by scanning the blocks you find in the world.



Robotic Arm Controller by Tony Plays
Controls sequences of pistons, rotors, and hinges - plus optional welders, projectors, and spotlights - via named positions and automated sequences. Designed for multi-step robotic arm routines that need to run unattended and survive world reloads mid-sequence.



Malware's Docking Aid
Turns any LCD on your ship into a live docking aid. Pitch, yaw and roll (the three rotation axes from the pilot's frame: nose up/down, nose left/right, and banking) chevrons show you which stick to push, and which way. Same rule on every mount - forward, aft, side, top, bottom - no mental gymnastics.



Majority Takeover by KevMeUp
This mod will hack the rest of the grid once you become the majority owner of it (51% ownership).
This way you can Take Over the grid without having to reach that last event controller or battery you can't find.



Quick Salvage Route Plotter by Loitrem
Tired of backtracking across the solar system to finish your salvage contracts?
Quick Salvage Route Plotter is a lightweight, navigation tool designed specifically for salvage contracts. It acts as an automated route plotter that hooks straight into your character's GPS interface to instantly plot the absolute shortest travel route for multiple waypoints.



G-LOC Companion by IcyShadow
Adds high-G blackout pressure, temporary control loss, recovery effects, and cockpit-focused flight feedback for extreme maneuvers, crashes, and high-speed atmospheric testing.



Radar Ranging Framework by BlueBirrb
A mod and a framework for modders who want create Radars and RWR sensors.



Storage Monitoring by Prasodym
A configurable LCD monitoring script for Space Engineers that displays resources directly on in-game LCD panels using sprites and item icons.



GOOSE - Inventory Manager by TDuke Skyloafer
Goose is a script that quickly and quietly keeps your grid's inventory in order. You tag containers with the categories of items they should hold, and Goose handles the rest: moving loose items into place, keeping stock containers topped up, and feeding the blocks that consume resources. Set it up once and forget about it.



SKP Radar by Youshedo
SKP Radar is a do-it-all radar and weapons script for a Programmable Block. Drop it in, name a few screens, and it turns your ship into a tactical command station. It pulls in everything your grid can detect — sensors, cameras, turrets, and WeaponCore — and shows it all on whatever LCDs you choose.



NEXUS AirLock by BATERCOOL
It fully controls doors, lighting, and ventilation, and displays information on screens in the style of my NEXUS scripts.



NEXUS - missile printer control by BATERCOOL
NEXUS Missile Printer is an automatic missile printing controller for Space Engineers.
The script automatically manages missile components on the ship and fully welds the missiles.



Applied Logistics by Экстерминатор
Applied Logistics is an alpha Space Engineers mod that adds a logistics terminal for connected same-grid inventories.



Survival Kit Power Cells by KevMeUp
Enables Power Cell crafting at Survival Kits, giving engineers another practical production option while still requiring large-port transfers.



Eat In Cockpit by KevMeUp
Adds a Cockpit (or any seat/bed type) Action you can drag onto your bar that will attempt to eat the first food item in your inventory.
Since this is a normal cockpit action you can add this to timers or event controllers so you could eat automatically.



Timer Block Logic Gate Samples by Tridonian
A sample board of timer blocks set up to recreate commonly used logic gates in computer circuits.
I've learned a lot about these in my previous projects and my hope is that anyone interested could learn and use these circuits for projects of their own.



If it Fits, It Ships by PhonicSpider
It has come to the attention of the Ronin Empire Board of Directors - and by extension, His Imperial Fiscal Majesty, CEO-Emperor Roninco the Third - that large conveyor infrastructure represents an unacceptable drain on corporate profit margins!

The Factorum is back! The upcoming Prosperity Update features a brand-new Factorum Encounter... but this one comes with a twist!

Brute force alone won’t win this fight. Be careful, pay attention, and adapt - if you want the Prototech inside, you’ll need to think like an Engineer.


1.210 also features many new blocks as well as a bunch of quality of life improvements and bug fixes. We can’t wait to see how you’ll use these new blocks to improve your existing builds, and how they may inspire you to build something new.

See you Soon™, Engineers!

Space Engineers 1 is not slowing down!

You can expect update 210: Prosperity to be released in July/August 2026 as a thematic companion to Economy 2, focused on further improving the economy, contracts, and station service systems we introduced recently. But that’s not all… there are a few surprises in there too.


After that, we are already planning Space Engineers major update 211: Warfare 3 for Q4 2026. I will share more details when we are ready, but I wanted to make one thing clear: Space Engineers 1 is still very much alive!

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 May! 🤩




The Economy 2 update opened up custom textures for HUD modding, and these new community-made HUDs show just how much is possible now!




Doktor'd HUDS - Bars n Things by Herr Doktor
This is my first (and mostly complete) attempt at a new HUD design. I wanted to get it out there for critique and find any issues. This hasn't been changed at all for Controller, so it's only viable for Mouse/Keyboard right now.



Doktor'd Huds - 1st Person HUD by Herr Doktor
This one is for the RP'ers, so it should make like a dozen or so people happy at least.








Space Engineers Blueprint - Shop Prefab Maker by SEWithKev
Turn a blueprint into a ready-to-drop Economy Shop API mod, with everything running directly in your browser.



ESAPI - KevMeUp Shop Grid Collection by KevMeUp
A collection of KevMeUp workshop blueprints that make sense in vanilla survival economy shops.



ESAPI - CosmicDonut Shipyards by CosmicDonut
I have tried to be "tasteful" about where you can buy these grids. The largest selections are in the Trader and Pirate stations.



Economy Projector Scaffolding by KevMeUp
Since Economy 2 Repair doesn't interact with projections, I made this mod to ensure you could place missing blocks that could then be repaired at the station.



Small Grid Services Terminal by KevMeUp
A small-grid version of the Services Terminal block using the Broadcast Controller model.



AQD - Custom Advertisements by enenra and Digi
The new vanilla advertisement screens only work on economy stations and effectively cannot be used by players. This mod adds a "Custom Advertisements" LCD App, which allows any player to make their own advertisement screen that yields a GPS when interacted with. This is done by reading the Custom Data of the billboard LCD blocks, where players can define the content and GPS point.



Terminal Services Player Teleport by KevMeUp
Travel between Services Terminals using a teleport overlay built directly into the vanilla Services Terminal system. Makes it easy meet up with friends or move your grids around.



Economy Station GPS - Instant Unlock by KevMeUp
Type /allstations in chat to add any missing station GPS markers.



Economy - Disable Space Contracts by KevMeUp
Removes space-only contracts, greatly increasing planet contract chances.
Good for planet only play throughs.



Economy - Same Planet Salvage Contracts by KevMeUp
This mod keeps Planet Salvage missions on the same planet (or moon). The contract likelihood is turned up slightly for non-builders/pirates.



Economy Only Licenses - Default License Pack by itar
This mod provides the default vanilla Space Engineers license setup: license items, store definitions, blueprints, and the Economy Only Licenses config used by the framework.



Scarce Resources - Economy 2 Fork by Seff
Fork of Scarce Resources, basically copying over the ore mapping for planets and asteroids and nothing else. Generated from new Economy 2 planet file to ensure compatibility with new stations.



Economy Respawn Point by itar
This mod is designed for economy-focused survival worlds where respawning should have a cost instead of being completely free. When a player respawns near one of the included Economy Respawn Point blocks, the mod charges them credits.








Skyblock Scenario by KevMeUp
Start in space, with no asteroids or planets. Use a Solar Ore Generator or scrap to survive!
Like Skyblock, this playthrough lets you create your world from "nothing".



Economy Only Scenario by itar
This is a prepared start world for an Economy Only style Space Engineers playthrough.
Instead of using the normal survival loop where you quickly become fully self-sufficient, this world is built around making the economy system matter for the entire game.



CATZ - Expanse Weapon Fleet by Leo_Magkat
CATZ is a PvE encounter mod for MODULAR ENCOUNTER SYSTEMS that adds dangerous hostile encounters to your game world. Inspired by high-tech military fleets and the atmosphere of The Expanse, CATZ introduces heavily armed feline raiders roaming the depths of space.



Spider Ecology (MES) by JB2B
Spider Ecology changes creature spawning across planets to make wildlife feel more location-specific, dangerous, and atmospheric.
Instead of every world feeling the same, each planet now has its own creature profile. Some worlds are relatively safe, some are hunting grounds, and Alien becomes a true hive world.



TWM NPC Encounters by Commando_Kain
Adds NPC factions, ships, drones, vehicles, installations, and event encounters using the Modular Encounters Systems framework.



RCSP Ground Assault - by ShootingManGold
Deploys RCSP dropships that bring troopers or ground vehicles to engage players and grids.



Iron-Blooded Crown by Umbrella Man and Tankerus
A Modular Encounters Systems pack with new stations, rovers, drones, buildings, and vehicles.



NovaLife Services MES Economy Only Faction and Respawn Point by itar
Adds MES-spawned service stations for Economy Only survival starts, with respawn support, starter supplies, and rotating licenses.



Pong by Tridonian
A fully vanilla computational Pong build using timer blocks as hardware and LCD screens as pixels.








Life'tech-Farming by Kuvat
The Life'Tech Solutions company just found out new ways to use aglae in a supporting manner!
With this mod you are able to find new algae types in Ice from different planets (Ice and alien planets ice). With those new algae new technologies get unlocks to farm oxygen and hydrogen. Additionally, now organics can be fermented to get biogas and use it to produce electricity.



Apex Survival Additions by DarkArkAngel
A mod which adds a variety of blocks meant to expand on the Apex Survival update and DLC. This mod adds ways to produce synthetic meats, new consumables and food items, automatically grow crops, and also new kitchen and endgame blocks.



Voxel Warhead by KevMeUp
Warheads that allow you to destroy voxels without hurting the salvage. Advanced Settings also allow Restoring voxel.
They are intended for salvage playthroughs on planets. The small versions can be made with survival kit comps. Neither require explosives. So that you can jump in and make them in the field.



Consolidation Pyros by Foltast and Dercaixr
One of the main challenges faced by the Ontosh Shipyards - the main military yards for OPC - was the increased demand for reactor power. Existing reactors were simply unable to produce the necessary amount of energy. Ontosh Shipyards then turned to Galven Energy Corporation for help.



ONA Dampening Shields by Shogun
Dampening Shields adds distributed, charge-based shield generators for Space Engineers.
Instead of a single bubble generator, every shield generator stores its own charge. Incoming damage is dampened, partially absorbed by nearby charged generators, and partially leaked into the ship as direct damage and distributed system stress.



NiteOwl Echo Base WC Turrets by MTGraves
Pack was published with the intent to provide a Weapon Core option for Servers and players that want to use these turrets but play with Weapon Core Framework.



Ranged Grinder by KevMeUp
Ranged Grinder for Large and Small Grid. Has animation to help you aim at larger distances.



Gravity Aligner Anchor by red777
The concept is very simple: a gravity aligner block, simple as that.



Scission Warheads by ZedexPlayz
This mod works by creating a cutting plane at a width of 10-metres based on the warheads orientation.



Inset Camera by Loitrem
Now with full and half block variants for large and small grid.



Conveyor Expansion by JaeSmash
New selection of large conveyors that use the junction model so they are airtight but you don't have to put caps on all the unused ports.



Federal Industrial - Lightning Rods by Frosty
Want clean, green, renewable energy but find solar panels and wind turbines too boring.
Want some zing to your energy generation, then try Federal Industrial Lightning Rods today.



Apex Meat Farm by SultonMRP
Adds two blocks for producing Insect and Mammal meat over time.



GFA - Aurebesh Emissive Letters by enenra
The mod contains a complete set of large grid letters, numbers and symbols (equivalent to the vanilla set) of emissive aurebesh characters in a style similar to neon lights.



Grated Catwalks And Stairs With Lights by Loitrem
A complete set of grated catwalks and stairs with lights, plus extra corner pieces.








SE Realistic Rocketry by Kozmik
This mod aims to create a more realistic spaceflight experience in SE by rebalancing almost every aspect of propulsion and energy production.
Would you like to build staged rockets because they are the best way to get to orbit? Are you bored of flying bricks and would like to build airplanes because that is the best way of being airborne? Do you want more challenge in building ships?



3D Volumetric Clouds by yellow51
This mod adds 3D (kinda, 3D in the sense they're physically there and you can go into them, through them, etc) volumetric clouds to planets in Space Engineers.
Each planet has different colored volumetric clouds, which all interact with sunrise, sunset, day and night times. Additionally they interact with weather too.



SafeSpeed - SE1 Safe Collision Speed by Lorenzo Béné
Inspired by the Space Engineers 2 safe speed behavior.
This mod prevents low-speed collision damage to blocks when the relative impact speed is under the configured limit. The default safe speed is 20 m/s.



Party System (BB) by BookBurner
Standalone version of the Party System from the NPC Provider mod.
Players can create parties, invite people into parties, see where they are.



SE-DOS OpSystem v3.0 by .DrHousexx
SE-DOS turns every LCD on your ship or station into a real-time information panel.
Add a single line to the LCD's Custom Data and SE-DOS automatically detects, configures and updates the screen for you.

Since the last venture into the agricultural equipment market in 2077, The Order corporation's R&D team has focused its efforts on developing a new operating system for starships, tailored for Data Displaying and Eye Tracking capabilities.



New Horizons - A.H., Connector Alignment, Radar by James
The new age of artificial horizons, radars, and connector alignment is here!
A lot of scripts nowadays serve one purpose, and one only, and mixing scripts together is a little tricker than it should be. Also, A lot of them don't have the features you'd need for a HUD-less survival gameplay, with no survival kit and no jetpack. I also decided that docking should involve fewer religious experiences.



Atlas Mapping System by The Screw-Up Team
Space Engineers has no map. Never did. Your friend kept complaining about it. So did mine.
This mod fixes that - and makes it dangerous.



CCN - SAMv2 Cargo Collection Network v4.0 by MurrayMucker
An addon script designed to work alongside SAM (Ship Automator Module) to fully automate ore collection using a fleet of SAM-powered drones.

Earthlike Safe Zone Discount
Provides discounts for safe zones within the earth gravity. This is a great way to encourage players to keep their shops near each other.
Fully configurable though, so you can choose your planets or make the discounts global.



LightBarrier RelativisticFlight by Ellips
Light Barrier: Relativistic Flight & Aerodynamics is a Space Engineers mod that makes high-speed flight more dangerous, controllable, and believable.



NEXUS Jump Drive Asist by BATERCOOL

ONA_SmartStorageDrain by Shogun
ONA SmartStorageDrain adds two small but very useful storage management features to Space Engineers:
Force Discharge for batteries
Force Empty for gas tanks



Vanilla Radar by JaeSmash
This mod marks grids on your HUD since you are flying in a futuristic spaceship and it probably does not rely on the pilots vision to identity targets. It is inspired by this mod WC Radar for weaponcore. I just really wanted this kind of functionality in the vanilla game.



Blueprint Analyzer by Tienn
Blueprint Analyser adds a Projector-based block that prints a build report for the loaded blueprint onto a selected LCD or text surface, and can queue blueprint component production in a selected assembler.



Tiered Build And Repair by Godimas

Hello, Engineers!

The Economy 2 Update is here - and it changes how you play. Store entire grids and redeploy them when you need them. Repair your ship at a trade station without replacing a single component. Hunt bounties, haul cargo through pirate space, and sell scrap for credits. Trade stations now have NPCs walking around inside them. And further ModAPI improvements open new possibilities for modders, server gamemasters, and scenario makers.
Everything in this update is free. Alongside it, we're releasing the Economy 2 Pack with new decorative blocks and variants to expand your creative options.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4502100/Space_Engineers__Economy_2_Pack/




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

Services Terminal: Grid Storage, Repair & Salvage
The Services Terminal block is one of the core new infrastructure features of the Economy 2 Update. Its purpose is to give players new ways to quickly store, repair, and sell grids. Repair and Salvage services are exclusive to the economy system, making trade stations useful hubs of activity, and not just of an optional side system.




Services Terminal (1 block, L grid)
Grid Storage
The Services Terminal lets you store entire grids and bring them back when you need them. Free up your PCU and unleash your creativity, store a specialized grid until an activity calls for its use, or clean up the crowded area around your busy base.

When retrieving a stored grid, you can deploy it into the general area or place it more precisely by using Precision Mode controls. These controls give you better control over where your ship appears and makes it easier to handle tighter parking spaces or more organized hangars.


Grid Storage can also be used in more flexible ways depending on how the terminal is set up. An "Anyone Can Use" option allows other players to interact with the storage system at trade stations or allied bases, and a per-grid "Share with Faction" option lets you share specific stored grids with your faction members.

By default, retrieving a grid can take some time, but new world settings can let you dial in these times to make it behave exactly how you want.When retrieval timers are enabled, you can expedite the redeployment process by paying Space Credits. This block is loaded with optional settings, allowing admins the ability to configure to their liking - including whether or not items are allowed to remain inside stored grids, giving server owners and scenario creators fine control over how the system can be used.


Grid Repair
The Grid Repair Service lets you bring a damaged grid to an NPC Trade Station and pay Space Credits to quickly restore damaged systems. It is a fast and convenient way to get ships and vehicles back into working shape without handling every missing component and damaged block manually - making it a practical recovery option after combat, accidents, or long expeditions. To use this service, you must be the majority owner of the grid.


Grid Salvage
Grid Salvage lets you bring a grid to an NPC Trade Station and sell it as scrap for Space Credits through the Services Terminal. It is a quick and convenient way to turn damaged, outdated, or unwanted ships and vehicles into useful credits instead of taking them apart by hand. To use this service, you must be the majority owner of the grid. If the grid still contains items, you will get a warning before completing the sale, as those items will not be recoverable after the transaction is complete.


Revamped Economy Systems
The Economy 2 Update brings a major overhaul to the economy systems in Space Engineers, making trading, station visits, and market information much easier to understand and use. With the new Economy Overview, Item Search, Store Block improvements, and expanded modding support, economy gameplay now feels more connected, more readable, and more responsive to player activity.

Economy Overview
The old Contracts screen has been repurposed into the new Economy Overview, giving you a better view of important store and contract information in one place. It is designed to make price changes, item availability, and the overall state of the economy much easier to interact with while playing.

When interacting with NPC-owned Store Blocks and Contract Blocks, you can now also see the time remaining until the next economy update, making it easier to understand when stores will restock and when new contracts will become available. The default time between Store Block restocks and Contract Block refreshes has also been reduced, helping the economy feel more active and responsive. This timing can also be configured on Dedicated Servers.


Item Search
A new Item Search tab has been added to Store Blocks and the Economy Overview, making it much easier to find the items you need. You can remotely search listings from NPC and player-built stores, compare prices, and browse the market without having to travel from station to station.

Searching shows all matching listings, not just the best one, and lets you compare price, amount, distance, faction, and time until restock in one place. It can also include player-built stores in search results, giving you a much better view of the wider economy and making trading with other players far more practical.


Store Block Improvements
Store Blocks have also received several important improvements. Players can now trade Hydrogen, Oxygen, and modded gases between each other through player-built Store Blocks, opening up new opportunities for player-to-player logistics, refueling services, and trade networks.

The maximum number of listings per Store Block has also been increased from 30 to 50. In addition, NPC station prices have been rebalanced so player-built stores can more easily compete in multiplayer worlds.

Economy ModAPI
Economy 2 Update also greatly expands modding support for the economy system, opening new possibilities for modders, server gamemasters, and scenario makers.

With more features exposed through the ModAPI and more SBC files open for editing, creators can build player-made contracts and contract variants, rebalance and reshape trade, and create more dynamic economies around factions, stations, and player-driven markets. It also opens up more advanced control for custom worlds and scenarios, including planet subtype blacklists for trade station and contract spawns, along with a Regenerate Station Locations admin option for scenario makers and server operators.


Contracts
Contracts in Economy 2 Update have been significantly expanded and rebalanced to make them feel more rewarding, more varied, and more enjoyable to play. This update adds several new contract types, improves payouts and contract flow, and gives players more reasons to engage with stations as part of their regular gameplay loop instead of treating contracts as a simple credit grind.

Escort Contracts have also been removed, with their role now replaced by more interesting and engaging alternatives.

Courier Contracts
Courier Contracts focus on delivering packages between stations, but they are no longer just simple point-to-point jobs. They now come with different risk levels, with more dangerous deliveries offering better rewards and the possibility of pirate interference along the way.

Search Contracts
Search Contracts send you out to locate missing grids and return them to their owners. Once you find the target, the contract updates to guide you back to the delivery location, and your reward depends on the condition of the grid you bring home - giving you a good reason to recover it intact.

PvE Bounty Contracts
PvE Bounty Contracts add a new combat-focused mission type built around hunting down enemy NPC grids. These contracts give players a more direct way to take on hostile targets for rewards, and help fill the role of more action-oriented station jobs.

Hauling Contracts
Hauling Contracts task you with transporting heavy cargo containers between stations. These jobs place more emphasis on the kind of ship you bring, with container size, value, and risk affecting the reward. Damage, destruction, or tampering with the cargo can reduce your payout or fail the contract entirely, making hauling feel more like a true logistics job.

Salvage Contracts
Salvage Contracts send you to damaged or abandoned grids in search of valuable mission items. You are free to tear into the wreck, recover what you can, and keep the salvage - but the contract itself is completed by finding the target item and returning it to the station. This creates a nice mix of exploration, scavenging, and profit.

Item Recovery Contracts
Item Recovery Contracts come from exploring existing encounters in the world. Special items hidden in cargo ships, random encounters, and other points of interest can be delivered to an interested station for payment and increased reputation.

Grid Recovery Contracts
Grid Recovery Contracts give you the chance to recover damaged or derelict grids you discover while exploring and return them to their home station for a reward. These contracts help connect exploration, encounters, and the economy system more naturally, giving players another reason to venture out into the void.


Factions Improvements
This release is also a major update to faction gameplay, making NPC factions easier to discover and more interesting to interact with. Trade stations now feel more alive.

Finding new stations and factions is now much more intuitive. Trade stations can display dynamic billboard advertisements that grant GPS locations when interacted with, datapads with station locations can now appear as loot, and some encounters can trigger contracts that guide you to new stations. Any reputation change now also makes that NPC faction visible to the player, helping the world feel more connected and easier to navigate.

Reputation has also been reworked to be more flexible and easier to recover from. A hostile reputation with an NPC faction no longer blocks access to their stores or contracts - instead, those factions will offer fewer contract types and worse prices until you improve your standing. Negative reputation no longer spreads to allied factions, and reputation is no longer lost or gained from interactions between player factions.

A new world option, Reputation Decay Over Time, slowly moves reputation back toward its default values during active play, giving players a reason for continued interaction with the contract system.. This helps keep faction relationships dynamic over time instead of locking them in permanently.


New Stations & Ship Prefabs
This release also gives Trade Stations a major refresh with 17 new prefabs for planetary, orbital, and deep space locations. These new stations are designed to feel more varied, intuitive to navigate, and more connected to the wider world, with a broader range of station types spread across different environments.

Trade Stations now also have unique names, helping each location and playthrough feel more distinct and memorable. This includes Meridius Station, added in honor of the creator of Modular Encounters Systems. Stations can now also be discovered in more natural ways through billboard advertisements that grant GPS locations, datapads found in loot, and encounter contracts that can guide you to new locations.


Space Pirate stations have also been expanded to better reflect their faction. Different faction types can now use their own station prefabs, helping Trade Stations feel more varied depending on whether you are visiting traders, miners, builders, military factions, or pirates.

All Trade Stations now sell Hydrogen, making them more useful as reliable refueling stops during longer journeys. Together with the new station layouts, improved ship sales, and better ways to discover new locations, this update makes stations feel much more like a connected part of everyday gameplay.


Ship Prefabs / Station Sales
The ship market has also been greatly expanded with 43 new and updated purchasable grids, including ships, rovers, drones, and missiles. This gives players a much wider range of ready-made options at Trade Stations, whether you want to jump straight into combat, pick up a useful utility vehicle, or buy a solid starting point for your next custom build.

These purchasable grids are meant to be practical foundations that players can easily adapt and make their own. Many are designed to support customization and expansion, giving you a better launching point for cargo hauling, combat, exploration, or logistics without needing to start completely from scratch. Drones, rovers and even missiles are now also part of station sales, giving players even more ready-to-use options straight from the market.


Animated Characters on Trade Stations
Trade Stations now feel more alive thanks to the addition of animated NPC characters that move through Trade Stations, emote and react to player presence.



This feature is the result of a lot of research and experimentation on character pathfinding on custom grids, and AI reactions to player presence. We were quite successful, and this is the first stage of that work that we are ready to release and share with you.

Structural Blocks
We are adding a new free set of Structural Blocks for large grids which includes several platforms, beams, and frames. These are perfect building foundations for stations, large hangars, and support structures. These blocks expand your building palette with heavier structural pieces that feel practical, versatile, and easy to build with.




Structural Blocks (7 block, L grid) - Structural Platform, Structural Platform Connector, Structural Platform Corner, Structural Frame, Diagonal Beam 3x3, Diagonal Beam 4x4, Diagonal Beam 5x5
Safe Zone Improvements
Safe Zones have also received a set of practical quality-of-life improvements. They now automatically pull inventory like other blocks, have reduced power requirements, and no longer use a separate filter for floating objects. Floating objects can now pass through Safe Zones and come to rest much faster inside them.


Additional Improvements
  • Additional Joystick & Controller Customization and expanded controller settings
  • Support for more flexible rebinding of Joystick Controls
  • Inventory improvements, including better sorter cooperation.
  • Added a variety of Mission Items

There are many additional improvements and fixes in the Economy 2 Update - you can explore everything included in the detailed Changelog.







A special package has arrived - apparently from a place called the “Almagest System”. Inside, you will find the Almagest Engineer Plushie, a small decorative gift for all Space Engineers 2 owners on Steam. It is a fun little crossover between our two universes, and a small thank you to everyone already supporting the future of Space Engineers.

If you own Space Engineers 2, you will receive the Almagest Engineer Plushie in Space Engineers on Steam as a free bonus small-grid block. Whether you place it in a crew quarters, station interior, or hidden somewhere aboard your favorite ship - it is a small reminder that even across distant systems, Engineers are never too far apart.

Hello Engineers!

We’re excited to bring you a brand-new themed community event: “Masters of Motion” – a video competition dedicated entirely to mechanical engineering in Space Engineers 1 & 2.

This time, it’s all about movement, function, and ingenuity. We want to see your most impressive creations using rotors, hinges, and pistons - but now in action.

Show us what your builds can do:

  • Massive rotating machinery in motion
  • Transforming vehicles and walkers
  • Complex piston-driven systems
  • Hinged mechanisms and deployable structures
  • Fully functional contraptions solving real engineering challenges

Whether cinematic, technical, or creative, we want to see your engineering come to life.

➡️ Full Details: https://2.spaceengineersgame.com/announcing-the-masters-of-motion-mechanical-engineering-video-competition/

Lights, camera, motion show us your engineering in action!
