Sigma Draconis Expanse 2 by Sigma Draconis Games
The official creative building world for the Draconis Expanse 2 server.



Expanded Systems by Blacktrooper093
Expanded Systems adds three additional planetary systems and three new planets to the starting system; these are gradually revealed via SOS signals after every 10 hours of playtime.








Hopeless Encounters by hopelessassassin1993
75 encounter rules. Convoys, patrols, derelicts, colonies, pirate camps and warden fleet actions, placed against where you are and what you have found. Thirty-six of them are linked by story flags: clear a pirate relay and the reprisal turns up later.



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. New ore maps for all planets and moons, and much more!



Exploration Fortification by MAMPF(GER)
Honestly, Vanilla never really made me want to visit every planet, but now it’s a must — and it actually feels like real progression. Every planet has new ores, and you need all of them. They all come with their own dangers, which naturally creates different tech tiers and progression paths.



Plushie Heist - Escape Room by AeQuArTz
Welcome to the Plushie Heist Escape Room!
Your objective is simple: retrieve the Engineer Plushie and escape.
Getting it done? Not so simple.



The 'Computer' by Tridonian
This is the combination of several Timer Block projects. The result is a machine that can take number input from its Keypad, show the input in base 10 on the screen using projectors while simultaneously converting it to binary to be processed.



Water World Salvage by Druknar
Salvage playstyle with mostly aquatic wrecks.








Laser Weapons Pack by Harbinger Ace

Ground Truth - Environmental Instrumentation by UnSayableStorm
Sensor blocks that tell you what is actually happening around you. Radiation, weather,
atmosphere, life.
No tech tree, no research, no unlocks. Build them, read them, wire them to whatever you
want to happen next.



TTC Tactical Holographic Projector by Hatt
The THP-01 projects a live tactical hologram of your own ship or station directly onto the bridge.
Track hostile contacts around the vessel. Watch their distance and relative movement. Monitor compartment integrity, identify damaged weapons and thrusters, display your current velocity vector and receive directional proximity warnings - all through a single holographic interface.



Missile Guidance Block by Burnt Eggs
This is a fixed and updated version of Alysius's Missile Guidance Block. The Automation Update broke it, so I used Dorimanx's fix and added some new stuff while I was at it.








Survival Symmetry by Oxnard
Mirror block placement, painting, welding, and grinding while still paying normal Survival costs. Drag-build lines and planes, save symmetry planes to grids, and use the same features in Single Player or multiplayer.



Mech Control Script by Command_Storm
Our Mech Control Script (MCS) makes mech building in Space Engineers easy and fun, no matter what your level of experience is!



SEpedia by kiskufiskur
SEpedia is an in-game encyclopedia for Space Engineers. It automatically catalogs content from the current world – including enabled mods – and makes it easy to search, browse, and explore.



Celestial Cartographer by Raguel
Celestial Cartographer turns planetary travel into an exploration and surveying loop instead of revealing every useful fact the moment a world exists in the save.
An unfamiliar planet begins as a destination. Approach it and learn the extent of its gravity well. Enter its atmosphere and begin recording density, oxygen, weather, and environmental conditions. Search the surface, identify wildlife and vegetation, survey geology and mineral deposits, and leave expedition notes for whoever comes next.



System Manager by fl4shb4ck
Build, explore, organize, and maintain a planetary system from inside Space Engineers.
System Manager works in existing worlds. It recognizes loaded vanilla, scenario, modded, and supported Real Solar Systems bodies. Every player receives an interactive system map, while authorized administrators gain protected construction and maintenance tools.



Grid Info - App Suite by Loitrem
A suite of apps that display information about your grid.



iQueue - Smart Production & Inventory by fl4shb4ck
iQueue is a lightweight production and inventory automation mod built around vanilla Space Engineers blocks and terminal controls. No Programmable Blocks. No external client. No plugin dependency. Set stock targets. Sort cargo automatically. Control exactly what your refineries are allowed to process.



Logic Breadboard by Bot 1
Inspired by the breadboard system in From the Depths, it brings a visual, block-based logic layer to your grids: combine the boolean and floating-point values your blocks expose, then drive the variables of other blocks on the same construct - no C# required.



Splitstream Framework by MAMPF(GER)
Jump as a fleet. One ship carries the jump drive, the others come along: in formation, on the same vector, without a drive of their own.
The name says what happens: the fleet splits the carrier's jump and rides its stream.



Projector+ API by Master-Control-Program
A lightweight script extender that gives Programmable Blocks direct access to Projector and Console Block functions.



Quick Booster mod by ERR0R
Adds a small-grid thrusters that inspired by the QB of Armored Core series.
These thrusters deliver a powerful short burst when you give direct movement input, followed by a brief cooldown.



QuickBoost Double-Tap Controller by yuking2315
This script provides directional Double-Tap Quick-Boost control for custom MOD thrusters containing "Pulse Quick Thruster" in their block name in Space Engineers. It detects directional double-taps (W, A, S, D, Space, C) from the active cockpit.



ZERO's Ownership Console
ZERO's Ownership Console adds an Ownership Console block for capturing large ships and bases.



Bio Security Pad by Melmakflitzer
This specialized datapad acts as a biometric data vault for your DNA. When you die, the pad saves your current biological stats with split-second precision. As soon as you loot your death backpack and retrieve the pad, your DNA is fully restored!



LODESTAR - The All-In-One Mining, Cargo & Flight Autopilot by MurrayMucker
A lode is an ore vein. A lodestar is the star you navigate by. This script is both.



Haka's Automated Rovers by hakanaikioku
This lets you automate your rovers, setting up paths similar to the recorder AI block.



JSBotSpawner by JejeServeur
Spawn configurable NPC bots from a single block : 7 factions, from simple room-walking NPCs to a full autonomous Weld/Grind Assistant.



Work From Home - Remote Bodies by fl4shb4ck
Work From Home - Remote Bodies turns vanilla cryo chambers into a network of remote bodies.
Secure your real inventory inside a Control Pod, select any registered Avatar Pod, and project yourself across your world as an empty-handed Avatar. Explore distant bases, answer emergencies, or walk into dangerous territory without carrying your host loadout with you.



AQD - LCD Color Profiles by enenra
This mod adds an interface to all blocks with LCD panels, allowing you to save and load color profiles for your LCD's Text and Background Colors (in Image & Text mode), and Foreground and Background Colors (in App mode). You can also select multiple such blocks and apply color profiles to all of them.

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!

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.

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

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)


https://store.steampowered.com/app/1167910/Space_Engineers__Decorative_Pack_2/




The Prosperity Pack adds over 50 new blocks - Sloped Cockpits, Bulky Hydrogen Tanks, Steep and Solid Stairs, Battery Banks, Square Railings, Decorative Server Racks, Cable Runs, Round and Square Lights. These are cosmetic and decorative blocks that don't affect gameplay balance.

If you enjoy Space Engineers and want to support its continued development, this is a great way to do it - and you'll get a lot of new building options in return.




Sloped Cockpit (2 blocks, S grid + 2 blocks, L grid) - A sleek, modern cockpit for both grid sizes, with open and closed variants to match your build, your role, and your style.




Bulky Hydrogen Tank (1 block, S grid + 1 block, L grid) - The bulky frame of this hydrogen tank houses four large fuel storage cylinders, giving industrial builds a fuller, heftier look.




Steep Stairs (6 blocks, L grid) - Steep, narrow stairs built for tight spaces, giving compact builds a clean way to move vertically when every block counts.




Solid Stairs (8 blocks, L grid) - Sleek solid stairs for clean, vertical transitions. Available in multiple variants with railed and railless options to fit more builds and interior styles.




Battery Bank (1 blocks, S grid + 2 block, L grid) - A compact battery bank made from smaller power modules, saving space while providing reliable power for smaller builds.




Square Railings (13 blocks, L grid) - A sturdy safety railing with a solid frame, perfect for adding structure, protection, and visual variety to walkways and platforms.




Decorative Server Racks (3 blocks, L grid) - Decorative server racks packed with hardware and details, perfect for building command rooms, data centers, and high-tech interiors.




Cable Run (7 blocks, L grid) - Thick industrial frames packed with large cables, perfect for exposed parts or technical detail to corridors, machinery rooms, and workspaces.




Round & Square Lights (2 blocks, L grid + 2 block, S grid) - Round and Square light fixtures with large, visible emitters. Perfect for illuminating interiors, adding strong visible light sources to runways or landing pads, and keeping your builds bright.

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!

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.



WFS - Weld From Storage by Aeyos
Stop running back to storage. WFS watches your tagged containers and automatically pulls exactly the components you need the moment your welder stalls - so you never break your flow.



Remote Supply Systems by Loitrem
Allows you to weld, grind, drill, and place blocks using the inventory of your grid within 1-500 (200 meters default) meters of a Modded focal block called "RSW Focal Block For Hand Welder". This block can be found under Loitrem in the G menu.



Jetpack Equipment by PepperJack and Uzar
Overhauls jetpack flight with realistic physics, tiered equipment progression, heat management, capacitor power, and consumable armor plates. Carry the right gear or you're grounded.



Night-Vision Mode by JMC17
Lightweight night vision. When toggled on, it adds two client-side only lights with shadows and glare disabled.
Those lights are added on the player's camera, so they will be visible even while using remote vehicles.



Arthur's Lcd Mod
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.



Instant Backpack Retrieval by NerdorbitLP
Approach the backpack or a temporary container, look at it so you get it highlighted, press middle mouse button and all the items from your backpack get transferred into yours immediately, if you have enough space in your inventory.



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
NEXUS Jump Assist is an onboard Jump Drive assistant for Space Engineers with an interactive cockpit menu.
The script sets jump distance, manages a list of GPS points, aligns the ship toward a target, starts an optional autopilot and scans the space ahead with cameras.



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
A three-tier fork of the classic Build and Repair System with hard-coded per-subtype balance.



Drakikosa's Production FX Controller v4
A fully customizable industrial automation and FX controller for Space Engineers.
This script automatically monitors refineries and assemblers and triggers timer blocks based on their production state.



CAMP | Construction & Assembly Material Processor by Gutter & ΔŦØΜ
CAMP is a powerful area-based construction system that automatically welds, grinds, and manages materials within a configurable work zone. Think of it as your personal nanite drone swarm - but better optimized for multiplayer!



Basic Tools Elite (Vanilla+ QoL) by Miloi
Upgrade your starting tools to elite-level performance without changing gameplay balance too much.
This lightweight mod improves all default basic hand tools by giving them elite-style stats.



Online Space Engineers Blueprint Resource Calculator by FennonautsPublishing
An up-to-date browser-based blueprint resource calculator with subgrid support and local blueprint processing.



Vehicle Sound Overhaul by Bomb
This is complete rewrite of a SE sound systems for ground vehicles
API adds realistic engine sounds for cars, rovers and tanks.
System if fully configurable per grid (each grid can have its own unique sound).



CO V6 F1 by CHKNFRYRMN
This mod contains the sounds from the Formula One 1.6L V6.

Stability

• Fixed a crash in Player created Courier contracts as it was searching for old definition "Deliver" instead of the new "Deliver_LowRisk"
  
• Fixed a crash in NPC pathfinding, NPCs will now rather stop navigating instead of crashing the game
  
• Fixed a crash in Device initialisation seemingly stemming from specific driver issues
  
• Fixed a crash in blueprint processing when it contained modded components from a missing mod
  
• Fixed a crash where the Voice chat over the Antenna system was not thread-safe

• Fixed an issue where the QuickStart options were using the pre-209 versions of Economy stations

UI

• Fixed an issue where the Toolbar Config Screen (G-screen) was using the wrong (Core Systems Pack) mini icons for the Economy 2 Pack DLC blocks
  
• Fixed an issue where the banners were not downloading in the Main and Pause Menu

Art

• Fixed an issue where the LG Half Bed Open block was not interactable due to a missing highlight dummy
  
• Fixed an issue where the SG Angled Door A block had the old style of highlight due to misnamed dummy

Removed

• Removed player-made and Eco station dispensers as possible targets from Economy Overview > Item Search

Thank you for helping us make the game better!

I was one of admins and lead mod developer.

Here you can get total of 37 new blocks for combat.



Ranged Welder by KevMeUp
Welder that welds much further in front. Makes it much easier to reach blocks inside your ship.

Unique welding animation makes it easier (and fun) to target your blocks from a far.



Ore Compactor by KevMeUp

Compactor will automatically shrink ore down 100:1. Expander will automatically expand it to normal ores.

Armor Panels Expanded by Demented, Kahned

Half Windows by dxcgff
Vanilla windows: halved and refined.



BroBot by Gutter
Well, this was surely an educational adventure. I've spent years on this on and off and just recently decided it was time to finish it.

AQD - Easy Tool Access by enenra
This mod adds a new character tool to the game - the Tool/Weapon Access wheel.
Equip it to a hotbar slot, press and hold the slot to bring up the wheel, and use your mouse to select a tool. Let go of the hotbar slot key to equip the tool. This allows for lightning-quick switching between tools and weapons.



Basic Anti-Radiation Medkit (Craftable) by shiftyshadow
This mod adds the ability to craft Basic Anti-Radiation Medkits in an Assembler. These kits offer 30% radiation reduction, and radiation immunity for 6 minutes.
Normal Anti-Radiation Medkits remain unchanged with 100% reduction and 10 minute immunity.



IK CRANE OS by BATERCOOL
IK Crane OS is a high-performance Inverse Kinematics solution for multi-segment cranes. Instead of managing individual rotors, you control the end-point of the crane using standard movement keys, while the script calculates all joint angles automatically. Smooth, reliable, and designed for precision engineering.



Prototech Aerodynamics Research by Cmuk
PAR replaces Space Engineers' built-in atmospheric flight model with a proper aerodynamic simulation. Wings generate lift from their shape and angle of attack. Fuselages produce drag from their cross-section. Control surfaces work through camber change. No scripts, no terminal configuration, no programmable blocks - just build and fly.



Ares at War Live Navigation by blockloop
A live planet map rendered directly on any standard LCD panel — no custom blocks, no Programmable Block required for display. Mount it on a wall, a cockpit, a rover dashboard, anywhere.
Your position is tracked in real time with a configurable chevron icon that rotates to match your heading.



MPX Brain System Defense by dj.johnmagus
MPX Brain is the central command system for the MPX Defense Network. It monitors your base turrets, detects threats, raises alerts, broadcasts launch/return orders to your drones, and displays live defense data across multiple LCDs.
This script is made for players who want a cleaner and more cinematic base-defense system with automated drone support.



MPX Drone Brain by dj.johnmagus
MPX Guard Drone Brain is the drone-side script for the MPX Defense Network. It allows defense drones to launch automatically, engage threats, return safely, dock back to base, recharge, and report their status to the MPX Brain command system.
This script is designed for automated base-defense drones using Space Engineers AI blocks and recorder paths.



MPX MISSILE CORE script by dj.johnmagus
MPX Missile Core is the main base-side control script for the MPX Missile Defense System.
It watches for enemy targets using any detector block you place inside the MPX DETECTION group, then automatically activates base alerts, tracks the enemy on a radar LCD, broadcasts live target GPS, and launches connected interceptor missiles from your missile bays.



MPX MISSILE script by dj.johnmagus
MPX Missile is the individual missile-side control script for the MPX Missile Defense System.



Dominion Protocol Fire Control System by HellSentSaint
This is my attempt at bringing a feature like weaponcores turrets to vanilla. Under the turrets console near the bottom you will find a button named focus fire and if you select it all turrets will focus on the center of the screen - and you can click to fire the gun.



SpaceGPT by Heft
Bring your Space Engineers universe to life like never before! SpaceGPT transforms the cold, empty void into a vibrant, living galaxy populated by intelligent, LLM-driven NPCs.
Powered by the Player2 app, this mod replaces generic encounters with characters who have real personalities, unique backgrounds, and contextual awareness.



Prospector 4.0 - Automated Asteroid Survey Script by Hamonous
Automated asteroid survey script for use with the Radio Detection and Ranging (Radar) mod.
Scans your radar output, groups nearby asteroids into clusters, autopilots to each one, waits for you to tag the ores, and logs GPS waypoints you can paste straight into your GPS tab. Tracks everywhere you've been so you never re-survey the same rocks.



Jump Drive Distance Control by BATERCOOL
An easy-to-use script that solves the problem of setting jump distance.
The only thing you'll need to do is add the "Jump" button to your toolbar.



Imperium Visual Engine by SkyeKippen
- Multi-Screen Display support, Customizable Identification Tag
- Caching of blocks on startup
- Dynamic columns, Adjustable per-panel font size
