Space Engineers News & Announcements

Engineers, prepare for liftoff! Today marks a monumental leap in the Space Engineers saga.

We are thrilled to announce Space Engineers 2, the revolutionary next chapter in space simulation gaming. This isn't just an update—it's a complete reimagining of the space engineering experience, built on new foundations to push the boundaries of what's possible in a sandbox universe.



Mark your calendars: The Space Engineers 2 alpha will launch on January 27, 2025. But you don't have to wait until then to join our journey, pre-orders are available now on our website.

You can pre-order either the Base Game or the Pioneer Edition, which includes the game's soundtrack and behind-the-scenes development materials.

On January 27, you'll have access to VS1: Creative Mode, our first vertical slice, featuring:

  • new 25cm unified grid system (no more small vs. large grids!)
  • new blueprint building (snap to grid, partial copy/paste, assign to toolbar)
  • grid undo/redo
  • enhanced creative mode with powerful building tools (new voxel hand, symmetry tools, line/plane building)
  • grid speeds up to ~300 m/s
  • safe speed system preventing damage under 20 m/s
  • new magboots with camera stabilization
  • new physics and dynamic fractures and debris for more realistic destruction
  • visual revolution thanks to ray tracing, global illumination, tessellated terrain, parallax mapping, sleek armor edges, and enhanced lighting
  • New VRAGE3 engine brings better performance and future optimization potential


Additional Vertical Slices will follow in the months after, each expanding the game's features and content. This development process will continue over the next few years until we achieve our full vision for Space Engineers 2.

We're taking a unique approach with our Vertical Slice strategy, allowing us to perfect core features before moving to the next set. By sharing early access and development insights, we can incorporate valuable community feedback along the way. We're committed to delivering a polished and playable experience with each Vertical Slice, unlocking new possibilities as we progress. Our focus is on providing you with meaningful content, not unfinished prototypes.

Commitment to Space Engineers 1

Our dedication to Space Engineers 1 remains as strong as ever.

For over 11 years, we've consistently delivered free updates, enhancing the game experience for our community. We're continuing active development - while the 1.205 Contact Update has just been released, the design team is already hard at work on the next update.

In 1.206, we're planning to introduce more PvE content and refresh some of the existing Cargo Ships.


Alongside the NPC Cargo Ship overhauls, there are a number of very exciting blocks and features headed your way. This month we showcased one of the more unique items on the list, coming as part of the free portion of the 1.206 update - a large grid variant of the Small Inset Connector.

This block serves as an adapter which allows small grids equipped with the Small Connector to directly connect to large grids, vastly improving the docking experience for grids which utilize them.



Space Engineers 1 and Space Engineers 2 will coexist, each offering unique experiences for players.

VRAGE™ is an in-house custom game engine developed by Keen Software House. We are currently in the research and development phase, exploring new features of our next VRAGE engine - VRAGE3.

For VRAGE3, we decided to implement a completely new Unified Grid System, which can combine any size of the block on the same grid. The grid has 25 centimeter (~10 inches) granularity and block sizes spanning from 25 centimeters, through 0.5 meter, 2.5 meter and on, with no upper bound.


Block shapes are handled with the same 25-centimeter precision. For instance, a 2.5-meter slope only occupies half of the cubic space, leaving the other half available for further construction.
The system adjusts snapping automatically based on the block size you choose, but you can manually fine-tune connections with the same 25-centimeter granularity.

To make rotations easier, when you hold the Ctrl key, rotation hints will appear at the block’s position, and you can rotate using the WSADQE keys while holding Ctrl. We've also added visual cues to help align blocks and show you which cells are being occupied or preventing placement, all with 25-centimeter accuracy.

The new Render Material System supports parallax mapping, which adds texture depth and generates subtle rounded bevels on armor edges and between blocks of different colors. Popular features like line and wall building, copy & paste, and the ability to attach pasted blueprints to existing grids have all been retained.

We believe this will revolutionize the building in our upcoming games. We can not wait to see the works of art you create. And we are just scratching the surface with new features in VRAGE3 for building!

Hello, Engineers!

Prepare to engage like never before - our latest “Contact” Update is here!
With this release, we’re taking Space Engineers to new frontiers of challenge and discovery. For those of you craving thrilling PvE encounters and seeking to push the limits of your engineering prowess, this update is packed with everything you need.

"Contact" brings an array of PvE encounters designed to test your skills and strategies in high-stakes scenarios. But that’s not all! We’re introducing exclusive Prototech blocks - advanced technology you can only obtain through these intense encounters.

These blocks will add new dimensions to your endgame builds, giving you tools and capabilities that enhance your creativity and gameplay strategies. As always, we’re excited to see how you’ll use these new features to push the boundaries of what’s possible in Space Engineers.

We’re bringing you all the important gameplay changes for free. In the Contact DLC you can find additional cosmetic blocks and bring some love to your Small Grid builds.



FREE UPDATE
We’re bringing you all the important gameplay changes for free in our Contact Update.

PvE Encounters
To experience all new PvE Encounters as intended, you’ll need to start a new world. They are enabled by default for any new world you create. You can also customize their density and the global encounter cap - or disable them entirely in the world settings.
Planetary Encounters
Planetary Encounters bring new life to the planets of Space Engineers! These range from small research outposts to formidable pirate strongholds, each offering a wide variety of loot. Players can discover everything from story elements hidden in datapads to valuable Prototech components.


Global Encounters
Global Encounters introduce a new type of space-based PvE content. When one spawns, all players in the session will receive a GPS point labeled “Unidentified Signal”.

These aren’t your typical encounters - expect challenging end-game NPCs, unique environments, and high-end loot. They are the primary source for acquiring Prototech. Stay vigilant, as hostile players might be waiting to swoop in and steal the prize!


Prototech
In this update we’re adding a new type of Block - Prototech. 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 need to extract them intact and then add them to existing grids using merge blocks.

Prototech Components
Lucky explorers can find Prototech components 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.

Alternatively, if you’ve acquired a Prototech Assembler, you can manufacture new components from Prototech scrap. But keep in mind: the Prototech Frame component, which is essential for every Prototech block, cannot be manufactured!


Toolbar Actions
All Action Blocks now support multiple toolbars, enabling more complex sequences to be activated using a single block. Separate On and Off actions have been added to several blocks that previously lacked these options.

Additionally, a new "Set Value" action has been introduced for Pistons, Rotors, and Hinges, allowing for precise control and manipulation.



New “Set Value and Execute” actions
We’ve introduced new actions for Pistons, Rotors, and Hinges, allowing for easier and more precise control.

For example, with the new "Set and Move" action for Pistons, you can now create an action that extends the piston to a customizable length at a customizable velocity. Similar toolbar actions have been added for Rotors and Hinges as well.

These new actions simplify the engineering of complex mechanical contraptions, making them more intuitive and flexible!

What’s next
We have so much more to explore, and the journey is far from over!

With the foundation laid by Automatons, Signal, and Contact, we've established a strong PvE base that we're excited to expand upon in future updates. These updates will continue to build on the groundwork we've set, bringing new dimensions and challenges to your gameplay.

But that's not all - we're excited to see how the improved Grid AI and the new Encounter system will open up new possibilities for everyone. While we've designed these features to enhance gameplay, we know our community’s creativity will take them even further.
Alongside these additions, we’re committed to ongoing bug hunting, optimizations, and quality of life improvements to ensure the best possible experience for our players.

Stay tuned for what’s to come - there’s a lot on the horizon!

Here is our spotlight for the month of September! 🤩





(VALO) - Vortex Advanced Logistical Overhaul by Palpatine
New full convert mod with tons of stuff.

There are around 180 blocks in the core mod then later I'll be able to add in more unique custom blocks balanced around this system.



Khjin's Warfare Packs - Logistics
This pack is a part of my on-going mod series, KWP (Khjin's Warfare Pack).

Logistics will contain custom fuel tanks and conveyors and will be updated with more logistics items later on.



Tech Priest Player Character by Darth411
Become more than a Space Engineer;
Serve the Omnissiah as a Space EnginSeer!

Simply equip the skin at the medical room, and customize your bits with the suit mod!



Extending Ship Ramp by Chipstix213
Need an easy egress for boarding action? Find your ship landing gear makes it difficult to get back aboard?

No ship design is complete without this extending ramp, which can extend well beyond your wildest dreams.



Point Defence Turret by Stonelords
The PDT is state of the art anti missile weaponry - comes in both small and large grid and use their own point defence ammo.

Turrets is able to auto target only Missiles and meteors.



Artillery MKII Turret -Goliath- by MTGraves
This mod item was commissioned by Fade-Sevar who requested a heavy WWII style turret that looked like an upgrade to the existing artillery turret.



XL Greebling Blocks by _jo.nat_
- Greebling-related SE Interior and Truss Block shapes in 3x3x3 size!
- Build stages for every block!
- Block variant group matching interior and truss block shapes!
- Fully texture-able and colorable!



Mega Welder by AryxCami
Exactly what the title says, a massive 5x5x5 welder tool for ship construction and repair. 10 metre build radius.

Uses Animation Engine for a lovely jovely plasma beam effect. I don't advise standing anywhere near it whilst it's turned on!



Cross Barred Windows by Grebanton1234
I made this mod because I love the combination of placing a barred window with a 90 degree offset onto another barred window. My only problem with it is that it takes up 2 block spaces, so I made this.

The blocks are integrated into the progression and block variation groups.



Assault Weapons Pack - Expanded Ammos by jperk354
This is a submod for Harbringer Ace's excellent Assault Weapons Pack. This is made with his blessing and endorsement; all assets used from Base AWP are used with permission.



Frostnova Star System by Pitohui.DS
The Frostnova Star System from the mini series "Darkspot" adapted into a full system.

The Frostnova Star System is designed to be adaptive for whatever you want to it. Might it be a simple alternative starting system or a world ready for PvP, the choice is up to you.



Previously Owned Economy Ships by Stubkan
A compilation of classical well-used manufactured vessels being resold under the umbrella of Builder faction Economy trade stations. They are added alongside the usual Keen ships for sale.

The advantage of this trading mod is to eliminate the strain of building complicated or large vessels, subgrids or scripts. Also to expand on challenging survival gameplay.



Mars Colonial City by Wscwsc
The biggest city within the Isidis Basin. This map is made up of many new and old structures I have created put together to create a large and well detailed city.

Also, this map is intended for exploration as I added tons of small details that are easy to miss, and since there are many builds that would be useless in survival.

Space Engineers Official
Support Portal
Discord Community

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.

Current effects: Wing condensation, Transonic vapor cone, Contrails



Hydrogen Atmo + Gasses with masses by Abrahab

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

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.

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.

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.
