Space Engineers News & Announcements

Hello, Engineers!

We’re excited to announce the upcoming Contact Update for Space Engineers, arriving this October!

Building on the solid foundation laid by previous updates like Automatons and Signal, Contact brings new gameplay features, blocks and enhancements to expand the PvE experience even further. Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to Space Engineers, there’s plenty to look forward to in this update.

Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to the release!

Prototech Explained
In 1.205 we’re adding Prototech blocks. These are powerful, “end-game” blocks, found in new “Global Encounters”. Prototech is a powerful technology created by the secretive Factorum faction. They have gone to great lengths to ensure components cannot be reverse engineered!

This means you cannot simply grind these blocks down and take their components, like you can with ordinary blocks. Instead, you’ll have to extract them intact, and then add them onto existing grids using merge blocks.

Alternatively, if you’ve acquired a Prototech Assembler, you can manufacture new components from Prototech scrap. But take note: The Prototech Frame component, which is at the foundation of every Prototech block, cannot be manufactured!

Finally, lucky explorers can find Prototech components (including Prototech Frames) in the cargo storages in the various new NPC encounters. Collect enough of these, and you may be able to construct a new Prototech block without an Assembler.


Prototech Jump Drive
Prototech marks a major technological leap, giving The Factorum a clear advantage over the rest of humanity.

One such breakthrough is the miniaturization of jump technology. The Prototech Jump Drive is available for both large and small grids, allowing small grids to instantly travel vast distances without needing a carrier vessel.

Once freed from The Factorum, this block can upgrade your scout craft, extend the range of your shuttle, or transform your ship into the perfect ambush fighter. The choice is yours!


Space Engineers: Official Server Wipes
From Tuesday October 8, all official servers will undergo a full wipe and upgrades to ensure smooth performance and apply the latest changes. This means all progress on these servers will be reset.

Be sure to save your blueprints and get ready!

For more details about the downtime and when the servers will be back online, follow our official Discord for updates.

Thank you for your continued support!

Planet Komorebi by Major Jon
Long ago, Komorebi was a vibrant world, much like Earth. Now, only regions nourished by underground aquifers still sustain any vegetation.

As the world continues to dry out, a toxic jungle of strange alien organisms has begun to consume the planet's soil, spreading across vast areas.



40K Manufactorum by Darth411

The colours of the bars are customizable for those (Like me) who like to color code your grids.



iSurvival - Fish Farm by PepperJack
Works best with but doesn't require Water Mod and iSurvival - Core - Advanced to work.

Without the water mod you can use it anywhere; with the water mod the traps must be in the water.

Adds flight effects to aircraft.

Current effects: Wing condensation, Transonic vapor cone, Contrails



Hydrogen Atmo + Gasses with masses by Abrahab
This mod adds new versions of atmospheric thrusters and afterburners that require both atmospheric air and hydrogen from the ship to function.

Additionally, it implements realistic masses for the gases stored in tanks.

This mod uses Modular Encounters Systems to bring you a set of Klingon NPC encounters.

This mod requires a number of different mods to work and generally assumes that you are already using my other Star Trek modules.



REBF PvE Wave Defence - Endless Stage by Riaz
One command base to defend, eight hostile factories pouring out enemy fighters relentlessly.

How many can you take down before being overwhelmed?



Retractable Glass Hangar Door by aczel2

Buildable Trees and Bushes by wellington6012
I created this mod to enable the addition of trees and bushes to my builds for decoration purposes.

I’ve used the models from the base game data files and adapted them in such a way that they can be placed like any other block in the game.



Counter Strike de_dust2 in Space Engineers by AirTC
Weapons are found in containers near spawn points.

Prototech

In the upcoming 1.205 update we are adding a set of new Prototech blocks to Space Engineers. These blocks are unique and powerful “end-game” blocks that will be part of the free content in the 1.205 update.

In the video below you can see a little sneak-peek of one of these blocks. Stay tuned for more information regarding Prototech and PvE content!


Factorum

As the world shifted from the Military Industrial Complex to the Aerospace Industrial Complex, those who made their money in defense were at a crossroads.

Some adapted to the times. They turned their intercontinental missiles into space ships, their swords into plowshares.

Some retired. They decided there were fates worse than watching your billions become millions.

But some fought against change, against Modularity. They fought unimpeded by morality, consequences be damned. They created a unique Prototech. 

And they call themselves The Factorum.

Colossus - Black Hole by Infinite
Colossus is a black hole featuring a large accretion disk, relativistic jets, and an enterable event horizon.



Basic Defense Shield by 寂语不言丶
As long as the grid is powered, it can obtain a basic defense shield (but it does not consume power), so pirates will also get a shield.

This shield is determined by the number of blocks in the grid, that is, the larger your grid, the higher your shield value. However, it can be configured through the configuration file.



Consty's HandWeapon Pack
This mod contains Anti-Air Missile Launcher, 9mm Handgun, 9mm Submachine Gun, 5.56mm Burst Rifle, 7.62mm Marksman Rifle, Handheld 40mm Autocannon and more!



Highfleet Thrusters Pack by humanoid.mp4

Want to deploy fleets of drones from your aircraft carrier ship? This scripts for you!

This script automates the process of deploying and recalling combat drones based on enemy detection by an AI offensive block on your grid.

Extending the base code of dlK's no Pb Info LCD, I wrote a couple of info lcds that can be added to any LCD surface.



NiteOwl Echo Base Decorative Pack by MTGraves
NiteOwl & MonsterKing’s Echo Base Decorative Pack brings several additional items to your rebel base.

This pack adds several items like lights, arch ways, decorative consoles with terminal access, hanger decorations, and more to finish off the look of your rebel base interior along with the main base pack.

Now, it stands as a testament to resilience, survival, and the indomitable spirit of exploration.



Biometal Wars Scenario by Rezun

Hello, Engineers!

The new Signal update is here! “Signal” lays the foundation for a new era of Space Engineers. 2024 will be a year of exploration, battle, and survival. This update focuses on our framework for a new standard in player versus environment.

Signal adds new choices to your creative arsenal with new blocks, specifically created for this occasion. With this new set of blocks, your remote automation can act with an entirely new level of autonomy. Where the wildly popular “Automatons” update added remote mining operations, automated drones, welding assistants and so much more, “Signal” empowers these systems to communicate! Reactive updates, straight-to-chat, as well as complex systems communicating over multiple ships, stations, or any combination are now possible!

Get live chat updates from your remote satellite array, mining drone fleet, or automated defense sentinels in Signal!

Please join us in 2024 as we explore Space Engineers like never before. We can’t wait to see what you create!
