Hello, Engineers!

Since our Warfare 3 reveal, we’ve received a lot of questions, many along the same lines: How will all of this actually work?

We sat down with Space Engineers Lead Designer Ryan Keel to pick his brain - this week, we’re talking about a completely new functional block - Separation Charge.


Let’s talk about some of the surprises we haven’t revealed to the community yet. For example – the Separation Charge.
I can’t wait to see what players make with the Separation Charge. This block has huge potential for both combat and non-combat applications.

This block can destroy itself on command, with a controlled explosion that doesn’t damage anything it’s touching, but before it destroys itself it fires a series of actions. So whatever you set up will be triggered, then it will destroy itself. It’s great for breakaway torpedoes, and lets you build these types of setups without the need of a subgrid like a hinge or a rotor – and it uses a fraction of the PCU, while still allowing fuel and items to pass through its conveyor.



The really powerful part is the action sequence, which will make this such a cool block for so many applications. It could be a missile, a mine, splitting a grid off of a projector, multi-stage rocket systems – I think our players will really surprise us with what they create – and I can’t wait to see it.

All of this and more is coming in the free game update, and you can wishlist the Warfare 3 Pack on Steam right now!




Autocannon Turret Type II (1x S)

Hello, Engineers!

Since our Warfare 3 reveal, we’ve received a lot of questions, many along the same lines: How will all of this actually work?

We sat down with Space Engineers Lead Designer Ryan Keel to pick his brain - this week, we’re talking about new EMP weapons!


You mentioned EMP weaponry in our Warfare 3 announcement – can you tell us more about how it will work?
The Prototech Microwave Emitter will be available for both large and small grids. It works almost like a specialized warhead – once activated, it charges for roughly 2-3 minutes before releasing a burst of radiation and EMP from the center of the explosion.

The emitter burns itself out when it fires, although it can be repaired and used again. Grids caught in the EMP will lose power for around 4-12 seconds. Once power returns, they receive 10 seconds of EMP immunity to prevent stun locking, with that immunity clearly displayed on the HUD.


There is also a counterplay. If you power down your grid before the discharge hits, you can avoid the EMP effect completely. That creates some really interesting decisions when you know an emitter is about to go off.

It is also the first Prototech block designed without requiring a frame. We want it to be expensive, but not so expensive that players are discouraged from using it in their own weapons. Torpedoes, mines, and other custom delivery systems are exactly the kind of things we hope Engineers will experiment with.

Some of my favorite moments from our playtests have come from using it at exactly the right time – stopping someone from jumping away, disabling guided weapons and watching them spin off on completely unpredictable trajectories, or deliberately powering down to survive an EMP before dropping mines and creating an opening for a devastating counterattack.


It is a very strategic weapon, but not necessarily an easy one to use well. That is exactly what I like about it. It rewards timing, creativity, and clever engineering, and I think players are going to find possibilities for it that we have not even considered yet.

All of this and more is coming in the free game update, and you can wishlist the Warfare 3 Pack on Steam right now!

Deep Wild Space Content by Marsianin
A dedicated pre-made world, "Deep Wild Space," has been created to ensure maximum immersion and a hardcore experience.



Asteroid Arcade Script by nukeguard
This is a PB script, you just add to a programming block and then put down 4 sound blocks and one LCD(any)block. It's preferable to play on a larger LCD than a small half block screen on small grid, the 3x3 works well.



War in the Mediterranean MES by Villanor
This is an Modular Encounters System mod containing Italian and French WW2 planes and ships. It is intended for use with the WitM planet where static ports spawn and NPC traffic occurs.



Planetside Salvage by GyverX
More wrecks to crack, wherever you land. A standalone data mod that seeds real, worthwhile salvage across every planet you visit — no scripts, no plugin, no dependencies. Drop it in and go.



Threshold Dynamics Spawn Roulette by UnSayableStorm
The stock respawn pods are fine. They are also the same three pods you have spawned in a hundred times, and none of them has an opinion about anything.
Threshold Dynamics Spawn Ship Collection replaces all of them with eight vehicles that do. Every one is survivable. Every one has a problem you will find out about later.








Realistic Tank Tracks by MAMPF(GER)
Not a texture. Not a band stretched over a wheel. A running gear.
Every other track mod paints a strip over a rolling wheel and hopes you don't look too closely. This one throws the wheel away. The track is what touches the ground — it carries the hull, it puts the power down, it drags you around on the spot, and when a shell takes out a road wheel, it sags.



Industrial Motion - Linear Motor by pitufocabeza
A rail-mounted linear drive for large grids. You build a rail out of rail blocks, put a motor anywhere on it, and a carriage travels the length of the track you actually built.



Window Frame Be Gone! by CHKNFRYRMN

HoloView 3D by fl4shb4ck
Turn vanilla cameras into live holographic and screen-based displays.



StarWatch by MurrayMucker
The console room for your LODESTAR mining fleet. Run it on a base or carrier Programmable Block: it listens to your drones, draws them across a wall of screens, sends them orders, reacts to trouble on its own, and drives your hangar doors, alarms and lighting while it does.



Inspector Clang: finds what's wrong with your ship by yrst
Your ship drifts with nobody at the controls. Half the turrets never got any ammo. The refinery stopped an hour ago and you only noticed now. Inspector Clang looks your ship over and tells you what's wrong, where exactly, and what to do about it.



Switchboard by MurrayMucker
One LCD becomes a menu that runs commands on every other Programmable Block on your ship.



Drill Efficiency by Xandrak
Adds drill efficiency to all drills. This mod exist to rebalance the Prototech drill, to make it still superiour to modded drills. 70% means 30% ore lose.



CineCam - Auto Camera Director by lirika

Hello, Engineers!

Since our Warfare 3 reveal, we’ve received a lot of questions, many along the same lines: How will all of this actually work?

We sat down with Space Engineers Lead Designer Ryan Keel to pick his brain - this week, we’re talking new automation events and a conveyor surprise!

Are there any new automation events related to combat?
Yes! We've added a new Event Controller event that can detect missile lock-on and allow you to set up automated responses to incoming fire. This should allow players to easily create systems that react to incoming seeking missiles and torpedoes.


That could mean quickly deploying countermeasure flares, switching target priorities to aim at incoming missiles, or even sounding an alarm. We're sure you'll put this to good use and create some awesome defensive systems with it.



I spotted some unusually long blocks while browsing the update - any reveals or spoilers you’d like to share?
Oh yeah, we always strive to add items to every update that have broader applications. While Warfare 3 is focused on delivering new combat mechanics, we're not neglecting players who aren't interested in combat, or who just want more tools to create with.

One of those items, amongst several very exciting new additions, is longer Conveyor Tubes! The standard Conveyor Tube, Reinforced Conveyor Tube, and Heavy Industry DLC Conveyor Pipes are all receiving additional variants that are 3 times longer. This allows builds to have significantly longer stretches of pipes at a fraction of the PCU cost.

This follows the same goals we had when adding Structural Platforms to the game. We know you all enjoy that set, and the response to those blocks helped push us towards adding more options like this in Warfare 3. Our whole team is excited to see what you create and how you incorporate these into your designs!


Colorful Icons
This is an exciting one for a lot of people. Colorful Icons have been at the top of the feedback tickets on our support site for a long time. It’s a big task - and one we couldn’t do without dedicating a fair amount of resources to it. Our game has over 1,700 items that use icons - from blocks and components to tools and consumables... It’s a lot to adjust, and we wanted to do it right.


Alongside what we wanted for the base game, one of our biggest goals was to give our modding community a tool they could use to match the lighting, composition, and overall style of our new icons. We wanted to give them the ability to update their mods quickly and with as little hassle as possible, helping their creations stay visually consistent with the vanilla game. This tool will be available inside our ModSDK when Warfare 3 launches. I’m very happy with what’s come out of this endeavor, and I can’t wait to see some of our favorite community additions updated in full color.


Overall, this change adds some much needed clarity to all our menus. Thank you all for being patient, commenting, and voting on the Support Site - your voice made this possible!

All of this and more is coming in the free game update, and you can wishlist the Warfare 3 Pack on Steam right now!




Warhead Type II (1x L, 1x S)
Clean, squared-off, and ready to detonate, this powerful explosive fits neatly into missiles, torpedoes, and compact weapon systems.




Decorative Intake Blocks (7x L, 7x S)
Add vents, grilles, and industrial detail to any surface with decorative intake blocks - ready for your greebling!

Hello, Engineers!

Since our Warfare 3 reveal, we’ve received a lot of questions, many along the same lines: How will all of this actually work?

You already know about guided missiles & torpedoes, and flare counter-meassures.


We sat down with Space Engineers Lead Designer Ryan Keel to pick his brain - this week, we’re talking Jump Detection!

How will Jump Detection work?
Jump Detection is an optional world setting that can reveal where large, heavy grids emerge after using a Jump Drive. The heavier the grid and the farther it travels, the stronger its jump signature becomes - allowing nearby players to pick up a temporary GPS marker at its destination.

This opens up new opportunities to hunt down and intercept other players. The feature can be disabled in the world settings, and its thresholds and values are easily accessible and customizable through modding.

We're excited about the gameplay opportunities and interactions this new feature can bring to multiplayer and PvP servers.



All of this and more is coming in the free game update, and you can wishlist the Warfare 3 Pack on Steam right now!

Hello, Engineers!

Since our Warfare 3 reveal, we’ve received a lot of questions, many along the same lines: How will all of this actually work?

We sat down with Space Engineers Lead Designer Ryan Keel to pick his brain - this week, we’re talking Missiles vs. Torpedoes, Ammo Switching, and Targeting Subsystems.


What is the difference between Missiles and Torpedoes?






Do Torpedoes require their own launcher block?
Yes, Torpedo Launchers.

Torpedo Launchers are available for both large and small grids. They’re bulky weapons that take up a fair amount of space, so fitting them into a ship usually takes some planning around the rest of the grid’s layout and infrastructure.

Small-grid launchers do not have conveyor access and must be loaded manually, while large-grid variants can be connected to the conveyor system.

Because torpedoes can seek out locked targets after launch, the launcher itself does not always need to be pointed directly at the enemy. This makes placement a little more flexible than other weapon types, and gives you more options when working them into larger ship designs.


How will ammo switching work, and what types of ammunition can we expect?
Weapons that support multiple ammunition types now let you choose exactly what you want loaded. You can select an ammo type from the weapon’s control panel, cycle through available options from the toolbar, or leave it set to Any and let the weapon pull from whatever compatible ammunition is available.

Changing the selected ammo type does not immediately replace ammunition that is already loaded. The weapon will continue using its current ammunition until it is fired or reloaded, but these new actions let you forcibly unload it and begin loading your newly selected type.
This makes it much easier to switch between specialized ammunition on the fly, especially for weapons like torpedo launchers where different ammo types may be better suited to different targets.

How will self-guided missiles & torpedoes work? Will it be possible to target specific ship subsystems?
These ammunition types require a target lock before they can be fired, and your current target is passed directly to the projectile’s guidance system.

Each launcher can also be set to target a specific subsystem. By default, guided weapons will seek any applicable subsystem, but you can narrow their focus to things like weapons, propulsion, or power.

All of this and more is coming in the free game update, and you can wishlist the Warfare 3 Pack on Steam right now!




Artillery Turret Type II (1x L)

Give your warship some serious presence with an artillery turret built for heavy engagements and distant targets.





Jump Seat (3xL, 1xS)

Fold it down and strap in. This compact passenger seat is perfect for dropships, tight interiors, and utility craft.

Hello, Engineers!

Warfare 3 is one of the most significant combat updates we have ever made for Space Engineers.
Guided missiles and heavy torpedoes. Countermeasure flares. EMP weaponry capable of knocking entire grids offline. Jump Detection that can turn an escape into a pursuit. Warfare 3 is not just adding more firepower - it is changing how battles are fought, defended, and engineered!

All of this and more is coming in the free game update, and you can wishlist the Warfare 3 Pack on Steam right now!


https://store.steampowered.com/app/5070970/Space_Engineers__Warfare_3_Pack/
Guided Missiles & Torpedoes
Guided missiles and heavy seeking torpedoes are joining the arsenal, bringing exciting new options for long-range combat. Fast moving missiles can pursue targets with precision, while larger torpedo systems sacrifice speed for raw destructive power. A variety of ammunition types, coupled with new weapon reloading mechanics, will allow you to swap tactics and munitions mid-fight.

These new weapons use predictive guidance and can be used to strike specific subsystems... but beware of enemy point-defense and countermeasure systems. Powerful as they are, guided weapons aren’t the only combat systems getting an upgrade in Warfare 3.

Countermeasure Flares
Countermeasure Flares will serve as an important strategic defense against seeking weaponry. Deploy them at the right moment to distract incoming missiles and torpedoes, disrupt their guidance, and give your ship a critical opportunity to evade an attack.


EMP Weaponry
The Factorum has a devastating new weapon at its disposal. The new Prototech Microwave Emitter can unleash a powerful burst of radiation, temporarily disabling grids within range. Catch an enemy off guard, create a critical opening in their defenses, shut down a fleeing ship moments before it can jump to safety, or expose hostile boarding crews to a deadly dose of radiation. Used at the right time, this devastating new weapon can completely change the course of an engagement.

Jump Detection
We’re adding a major new PvP system: Jump Detection. This system gives players a new way to find large or heavy ships when they perform long-distance jumps, revealing their exit destination to nearby players, and making them susceptible to interception or pursuit.

Greetings, Engineers!

This month, we’re taking a look at some of the work happening behind the scenes to make the world of Space Engineers feel more alive.

NPCs are an important part of that goal, and our team has been hard at work improving their ability to navigate complex environments while maintaining stability. In this month’s preview video, you’ll see NPCs pathfinding across grids that are actively moving and rotating in space, showcasing their ability to operate smoothly and correctly as conditions change around them. This is an exciting step toward bringing more dynamic encounters to your worlds.

Each day, as progress across various systems moves forward, we’re growing more and more excited about what our upcoming Warfare 3 update will bring to Space Engineers. We can’t wait to show you more as development continues!

Hotfix 1.210.014 has been released!

Wheel Propulsion Override
Following player feedback, we found that the recent Wheel Propulsion Override change affected some existing mech builds.

We have reverted the change for now while we work on a more robust solution that improves the behavior without disrupting existing constructs.

Thank you for your feedback!




Functional
  • Fixed the "Fuel low!" Jetpack voice message triggering before bottles could refuel by allowing bottles to refuel sooner.
  • Fixed stations with subgrids becoming offset when attached or after world reload.
    • They no longer move further, but affected bases need to be restored from a 209 backup or repositioned using Scenario Edit tools in singleplayer (2xF11 and move the bases through translation).
    • Turn off damage in Alt+F10>Global permissions before attempting to move the base using the Scenario edit tools
  • Fixed Flat Collector side-conveyors not working due to incorrect dummy names.
  • Reverted the Wheel Propulsion Override change to restore consistent behavior for existing constructs with or without a control block.


Thank you for helping us make the game better!

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.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4835530/Space_Engineers__Prosperity_Pack/






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.



New Blocks



Prototech O2/H2 Generator (1 block, L grid) - The latest Factorum innovation is here! Refill fuel and oxygen up to 10x faster, using less power than a standard generator.

Passage 2 Frame (1 block, L grid) - A sleek, space-saving extension of the Passage 2 block. Use it to polish your interiors, create compact access points, or frame machinery and thrusters with style.


Additional Improvements
  • Added skins/suit variations to NPC characters on Trade Stations.
  • You can now find Story Datapads on Economy Stations
  • Laser Antenna UX Improvements
  • Wheel Indicators for better build orientation
  • DLC Badges for Purchased DLCs can now be used as Faction Icons
  • Improved lighting effects for Welder and Grinder particles (Softer light with lower flash intensity)
  • Rebalanced audio effects for many of the game’s louder sounds.
There are many additional improvements and fixes in the Prosperity Update - you can explore everything included in the detailed Changelog.


What’s Next
Our next Space Engineers update, Warfare 3, is shaping up to be a big one! We aim to deliver it to you in November/December 2026.

Expect new weapon types, new combat systems, and changes designed to make battles, PvP, and ship-to-ship engagements more dynamic. This time, your weapons may not be aimed only at other players... There are new threats on the horizon.

Check out our new Roadmap!







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 Decorative Pack #2.

Those who already own Decorative Pack 2 will get this content for free, as part of the update.




Triangular Grated Catwalks (2 blocks, L grid)

Wheel Propulsion Overrides have been adjusted for consistency: forward now means forward and backward now means backward across all wheels. Existing builds using Propulsion Override may need adjustment, but new builds should be easier to configure for desired results.




  • New flags in Services Terminal entity components allowing for player made variants. (EntityComponents.sbc)

Image Credit: PMC E-Frame with Light Mobile Assault Gear by Deathlok

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!
