space engineers atomatic lcd panel free sample
Everything you will ever need to know about your ship and station displayed in real time on LCD panels in any vanilla games. modded games and servers! Now with cockpit panels support!
Thank all of you for making amazing creations with this script, using it and helping each other use it. Its 2022 - it"s been 7 years already since I uploaded first Configurable Automatic LCDs script and you are all still using it (in "a bit" upgraded form). Its just amazing :)
Every captain wants to have displays that show some useful info. Make your bridge display damaged blocks in engineering, engine room, etc. Make big screen by joining multiple Wide LCDs! Show power output, batteries status, laser antenna connections and much more. Make your docking bay display which landing gears are occupied. Make screens for docking fighers when landing gear is ready to dock so they can nicely see it from cockpit! Make one LCD per container to see its contents.. and much more!
Open your programmable block, click Edit, click Browse Workshop, select Automatic LCDs 2, click OK, Check code, Remember & Exit. Done. Your script is now updated.
If you have problem with some command then read the guide section for that command and make sure you use it correctly. Try to use it on separate LCD by itself so it"s easier for you to see the issue and definitely try some examples!
Visual Script Builder allows you to create Space Engineers scripts with a user interface. You don"t need to know anything about programming. Just enter the name of the block you want to control and choose what to do with it. Chain logic statements together to create complex behaviors.
A large number of Space Engineers players are unable to utilize programming. The scripting documentation is poor, and the in-game editor doesn"t provide any help. Many people are unfamiliar with coding, and C# in Space Engineers doesn"t make for a simple beginner language. There are scripts available on the Steam Workshop, but those rarely work for custom applications.
I developed this tool to let anyone capable of playing Space Engineers write their own custom scripts. I tried to make it as feature-rich as possible while still being easy to use.
In Visual Script Builder, everything is driven by logic chunks. One logic chunk can either check a condition (e.g. If Light X is ON), or apply an action (e.g. Turn Light Y ON). You can insert logic chunks and remove logic chunks at any point in the script. There is no limit to the number of logic chunks you can use. Each logic chunk consists of the logic type, the in-game Space Engineers block it applies to, and the in-game block"s data.
When writing the text you want displayed on an LCD panel, you can use any variables that you created in your script by surrounding them with brackets. For example, if you saved a variable called totalpower, you could display its value on an LCD panel by writing [totalpower]. This can be combined with any other text, or any other variables. Total Power: [totalpower] would display Total Power: 3.00MW. See additional information about using LCD panels below.
Don"t worry about highlighting and copying, just click the button to copy your entire script to the clipboard and paste it into the editor in Space Engineers.
As you can see, our variable (here named variableName) is followed by a question mark (?), the text to display when true (trueText), a colon (:), and the text to display when false (falseText). For use on the LCD panel, we must enclose this whole string in brackets. In a more realistic scenario, we might want to display ON when our Reactor is on, and OFF when our Reactor is off. We can create a boolean variable called reactorOn for the Reactor"s On/Off state by typing a new variable name (reactorOn) into the Save As box for the OnOff property of the Reactor. For this property, true means the reactor is on. To get the text to display correctly, we can type the following into an LCD panel.
As of Update 1.0.3, it"s also possible to do calculations right inside the text of the LCD panel. This allows you to display your power percentage. Mathematically, power percentage is:
The Block Name box is where you enter the name of the Space Engineers block you want to work with. If this is left blank, the default value will be used for the chosen block type. Leave this blank.
That"s it! You"re now ready to try the script out. Click the Copy Script To Clipboard button, and paste the code into a Programmable Block in Space Engineers. Running the code will toggle on/off an Interior Light with the name "Interior Light".
In Space Engineers, create a Programmable Block. Go into the Programmable Block"s menu and click Edit. Delete everything in the editor and paste in your script. CTRL-C and CTRL-V work in the editor. Click Check Code to check the code for errors, then click Remember & Exit to save. Be careful, as using ALT-TAB to switch out of Space Engineers will revert your script to the last saved script. It is easy to lose your changes.
To run the script, open the Programmable Block"s menu and click Run. You can also assign this action to your toolbar in a ship, or to a button panel by dragging the Programmable Block to the bar and choosing Run with default argument.
If you want your script to be run constantly (for example, waiting for a door to open and triggering the lights to turn on) you can use the Frequency dropdown in the Script Settings menu. It will automatically run your script every 1, 10, or 100 ticks. There are 60 ticks per second in-game. This feature was introduced in version 1.0.8, but can cause issues when trying to use Arguments in the Programmable Block. With older versions, or to avoid issues with Arguments, you have to use a timer block. Create a Timer block and set the Trigger Delay to 1 second. Click Setup Actions, and drag your Programmable Block to the first space on the bar. Again, use Run with default argument. Then drag your Timer block to the next space on the bar and choose Start. Now start the Timer block, and your script will be executed every second.
You write scripts using the C# language and the SE API (Application Programmable Interface) which can perform any functionality or access any data normally retrieved through the control panel of a block.
Space Engineers runs scripts only if Experimental mode is enabled. And each saved game runs scripts only if its World Settings allow in-game scripts. On Xbox, Scripts are disallowed by Microsoft.
In order to start using a block, a local reference to the object must be intialised from the GridTerminalSystem. For example, to intialise an LCD Panel with the name "LCD Panel 1":
Unlike the normal LCD, an IMyTextSurfaceProvider requires a number to indicate which screen to use. In the block terminal, you can see a list of screens. (For example, a programmable block has 2: Large Display and Keyboard.) The topmost screen is 0, and the second screen is 1. In many cockpits, there are more LCDs, but the list always starts at 0.
The time has come! The team has been working hard on this update and today, we delivered new blocks, enhanced gameplay mechanics, and a reimagining of warfare in Space Engineers!
Warfare 2: Broadside expands and improves vehicle combat in Space Engineers. We are continually inspired by our incredible community and so we have created this vision of war based on community feedback. Your creations, machinations, mods, stories and visions of the world of Space Engineers helped guide our efforts and deliver one of our biggest updates ever!
The goal of Warfare 2: Broadside is to bring you more fun and engagement with Space Engineers, both on planets and in space. Defending against pirates, boarding a freighter, having a tank battle on a moon or a breakneck dogfight through the canyons of Pertram, - we believe this update will change the way you play.
While war is the theme, we mustn’t forget that this is Space Engineers. “Building and creativity” remains the center of the Space Engineers universe. With this update, we are introducing a series of quality of life improvements as well as entirely new mechanics.
Space Engineers is a voxel-based sandbox game, developed and published by Czech independent developer Keen Software House. In 2013, the initial developmental release of the game joined the Steam early access program. During the following years of active development, Space Engineers sold over one million units. In total as of 2019 the game has sold over 3.5 million copiessource code was officially available and maintained by KSH to assist the modding community.Beta and was later officially released on February 28, 2019.
Gameplay of Space Engineers begins with the player selecting or joining a world with specific settings, such as the number of asteroids (an "empty world" can also be picked) and the available starting equipment. When creating or editing a world, several advanced options are available to change how the player will interact with the world, and how the worlds will appear. This includes changing the speed with which several tools and machines will work, the size of the player"s inventory, and whether procedural generation will be used (effectively making the world infinite). Upon confirming the world settings, a loading screen appears while the world is generated. This screen consists of a random in-game screenshot as a backdrop, the game"s logo, an animated loading icon, and a randomly selected message at the center. The message may be either a helpful gameplay hint, or one of many quotations concerning space, science, and/or engineering. Many of these quotes are from notable scientists such as Isaac Newton, Galileo Galilei, Albert Einstein, as well as authors such as Arthur C. Clarke.
Once in-game, the player is given control of a single astronaut (referred to as a "Space Engineer") and a set of tools comprising a drill, a welder, and a grinder (if spawn with tools is on). Construction begins by choosing any block from the Engineer"s inventory, and placing it anywhere in open space to create a new voxel grid. Additional blocks can then be added to this grid to create a structure.
aesthetic purpose. Armor blocks, the most basic and common of all blocks, can be realistically damaged and deformed through collisions or the use of weapons.keypads, which can be used to view and manipulate the status of other specific blocks attached to the structure. To be functionally connected however, and to transport materials, blocks called "conveyors" must be used to connect the desired machines. "Functional" blocks require power, which can be provided by solar panels or nuclear reactors attached to the same structure. While reactors must be supplied with uranium, and produce large amounts of power while active, solar panels will continually produce a low output of power when there is line-of-sight to the sun. Once being produced, power is automatically distributed throughout the entire structure and can also be stored in batteries.
Ships can be deliberately moved and rotated by external forces and a player as long as they are powered and have at least one gyroscope, thruster, and cockpit. To be able to move in any direction and then be able to stop effectively via inertia dampeners, thrusters must be placed on the structure facing up, down, forward, backward, left, and right. More gyroscopes on a ship will increase the ship"s ability to rotate in space, but in order for the inertial dampeners to be more effective, more thrusters must be added in each direction in which dampening is required.
Astronauts floating in space are able to move forward, backward, upwards, downwards, left, or right without restriction by using a jetpack. They are also able to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. Astronauts and structures can also enable or disable inertial dampeners, which automatically attempt to reduce speed to zero when force is not being applied, and the required thrusters are installed.
If the player disables their jetpack within a gravitational field (either on the surface of a planet or a structure/asteroid with a gravity generator), movement is restricted to a plane perpendicular to the direction of the net gravity field(s). Vertical viewing angle is also restricted between −90 and 90 degrees, as in most first-person shooters. Ships and structures are unaffected by gravity generators unless equipped with at least one Artificial Mass block. If the player falls off a structure while within a gravity field, they will fall into space until out of range of the gravity generator, at which point the player"s jetpack will automatically enable itself. However, if the player touches their feet to an asteroid or structure with no gravity present, their "mag-boots" will enable them to walk across its surface and even around edges; though jumping will disconnect the player from the surface, and they cannot traverse the 90-degree angle between a floor and wall.
Asteroids and planets consist of terrain voxels, which substantially differ from blocks, and although possible to destroy by the player, cannot be created by them unless in creative mode. Celestial objects are currently fixed in space and cannot move, however, rocks/minerals that have been mined are subject to gravity and will react accordingly. Asteroids also do not currently have gravity associated with them, and can come in several basic forms including spherical, torus, and rod-shapes, as well other variations or combinations of these.
In survival mode, players need to mine, collect, and refine various chemical elements from asteroids and planets in order to craft tools, weapons, and blocks as well as produce electricity. Resources can be mined manually using a hand drill, or by using ships with the necessary equipment. Components are produced by assembling them from raw materials; however, they can also be harvested by salvaging cargo ships. To avoid death, players must monitor their health, energy and oxygen levels. Damage can be inflicted on the player by collisions, weapons, contact with thrusters, meteor showers, or by running out of space suit energy. Collisions at higher speeds result in more damage. As the acceleration value of gravity generators stacks, damage from falling can be much more dangerous when multiple gravity generators are active. A player"s health and energy can be restored using a Medical Room block, and energy can also be replenished by sitting in the cockpit of any powered structure. The development of survival mode began at the end of summer of 2013.
In the survival mode of the game, all actions, including survival itself due to the power requirements of the space-suit"s life-support system, depend on the gathering and refining of certain minerals. These minerals can be found on asteroids or planets, plundered from randomly spawned ships, or recovered from unknown signals. Raw materials are mined from deposits of ore on asteroids, and are then placed (or sent using a conveyor system) into a basic refinery or refinery in order to refine them to be used in assemblers. The refined materials are formed into various components in the assembler which can then be used in the construction of ships or stations.
Inventories in Space Engineers are very flexible and work in a whole-ship manner rather than in an individual one. All inventories connected to a ship can be viewed from any access panel on the same ship, however inventories must be connected via conveyors and conveyor tubes in order for items to be transferred among them. Inventories of refineries and assemblers will automatically request items to refine from connected inventories when they get low, and will send items into an available inventory when it fills up. The conveyor sorter allows inventories to be automatically removed and sorted from and into certain inventories. Instead of a common slot system, Space Engineers uses a volumetric system, measured in litres, with every item having a certain amount of volume and every inventory a certain capacity that it cannot exceed.
Planets in Space Engineers were released on November 12, 2015, after being in development since February 2015. There are several types of planets, themed after Earth, the Moon, Mars, Titan, Europa, and an "alien" planet.NPCs, and the Earth-like planet features wolves, hostile dog-like NPCs.
Atmospheric flight is possible even on worlds with oxygen-deprived atmospheres. In order to leave a planet, the player will need to use hydrogen engines with sufficient fuel or build a hybrid spacecraft with atmospheric engines (for liftoff) and ion engines (upper atmosphere to space).
Hybrid surface-to-orbit craft are considerably heavier than their space-only counterparts, but can be built compact enough to fit inside a standard hangar.
Each probe also possesses a button, which when pressed has a chance to reward the player with a collectible skin, similar to a loot box. The skin can be for the player character"s helmet, suit, boots, or tools, and can be traded or sold on the Steam Market. Each skin can be obtained for free in-game, with the exception of three sets: the Veteran Set, which was awarded to players who had owned the game before and played between August and September 2017; the Medieval Set, which is awarded to players who also own Medieval Engineers; and the Golden Set, which is awarded to players who purchase the Space Engineers Deluxe Edition.
Space Engineers was developed and published by the indie video game developer Keen Software House based in the Czech Republic. Implemented as a voxel-based sandbox game set in an asteroid field in space, built on their own game engine, VRAGE 2.
The pre-release alpha build was released on October 23, 2013 on Steam, featuring a single-player "creative" mode. On February 24, 2014, the company announced that Space Engineers had sold over 250,000 copies in four months.Space Engineers have been achieved: survival mode and multiplayer.

I"m currently writing some ingame scripts in space engineers (vanilla) to show certain data on ingame LCD panels. Besides text I also want to display some diagrams. Unfortunately space engineers LCD panels do not provide monospaced font what makes it quite difficult to generate ASCII art diagrams.
After many requests, we have decided to release our internal Replay Tool that we use to create our trailers. It allows you to record the movement and actions of multiple characters in the same world. You can use your video recording software of choice to capture these moments for cinematic purposes! It’s also super useful for epic screenshot creation. The tool allows you to be the director of your own Space Engineers film where you can carefully position and time different engineers with their own specific roles. We are extremely excited to see what the community will create with this!
Important: because it’s an internal tool, it has a very basic user interface and required advanced users to be used. We believe this is OK, because most video creators who would want to use it to create epic cinematic Space Engineers videos are advanced users.
There are now Steam trading cards to collect for Space Engineers! Collect a full set of cards to earn items that help you customize your Steam profile including backgrounds and badges.
There are fourteen new decorative blocks for people who want to buy them and support the development of Space Engineers, which are available on the Space Engineers Steam Store page. Within the package you will get following new blocks:
Beds can preserve characters’ inventory and toolbar while they"re offline and keeps them alive as long as there is oxygen available. Is considered to be the same as the Cryo Chamber Block, except oxygen is used from the environment. Space Engineers don’t work from nine to five, they work whenever they’re needed: day or night, during peace and war. But when it’s time to call it a day, every engineer looks forward to resting in these beds.
Kitchens are purely decorative. The kitchens in Space Engineers come well-equipped and include stunning visual details. Space Engineers overcome challenges everyday when they’re working on new planets or among the stars.
Planters are purely decorative, but they make outer space a bit warmer by housing life in a special glass container. Build your own garden on the space station. Planters not only help to liven up spaces, but the flora housed inside these capsules also remind many engineers of the homes they’ve left behind in order to explore the universe.
Couchescan be used as seats, so take your time to relax and take a break. You don’t need to always run, fly or work, you can enjoy your cozy room and enjoy the view. The last thing anyone would ever call a Space Engineer is ‘couch potato’, but who wouldn’t like to relax after a hard day’s work on this comfy furniture?
Armory and Armory Lockers can be used to decorate interiors and store weapons, ammunition, tools and bottles; both are small storages (400L), where you can keep your equipment. Space Engineers use lockers in order to ensure that keepsakes from home, toiletries and other items are kept safe.
Toiletscan be used as a seat. The latest and greatest interstellar lavatory technology has made many earth dwellers jealous of the facilities enjoyed by Space Engineers.
Toilet Seat that can be used as a seat and is fit for the creator of the legendary Red Ship; most engineers don’t want to get up after ‘taking care of business’.
Industrial Cockpits are used to control your ships. This industrial cockpit in both small and large grid versions will make your creations look much better. Offering unmatched visibility, the industrial cockpit enables engineers to experience stunning vistas while traversing landscapes and space.
Console blocks project blueprints for downscaled ships and stations, as well as display pictograms or customizable text. They are fantastic functional LCD panels where you can project your creations and show them to your friends. The sleek and crystal clear picture offered by this console allows Space Engineers to display designs and other important information.
Keen Software House needs to stay profitable in order to continue development and support of Space Engineers, and to take risks, to invest into experiments that may not pay off in the short term, and to develop innovative concepts.
A:Actually, even this update isn’t paid. The major part of this update (LCD screens, Replay Tool, new music tracks, smaller improvements) is free for everyone. Only the smaller and not mandatory part is paid - Decorative Pack, which you can purchase here.
A: To support future development of Space Engineers and other leading-edge projects we plan to work on at Keen Software House. Players kept asking us for something they could buy to support the development of Space Engineers, and the Decorative Pack is a great option for them.
A: Right after Space Engineers left early access and all hot issues were resolved. Most of the work was done by the Art team, the rest of the developers is working on other long-term updates.
A: We want more people to play Space Engineers, which means we must lower the barrier of entry. When the Space Engineers community grows, everyone benefits from this - more content on Workshop, more mods, more new ideas, more people to play with. This means that all non-mandatory features should be optional, so only those who really want them can pay for them. That’s why we decreased the price of Space Engineers, and made the Decorative Pack an optional purchase.

February 28, 2019 is the day for all Space Engineers. Today, we are moving Space Engineers out of Early Access. Getting Space Engineers out of Early Access has been planned for a long time. We have worked on it basically since 2016/2017, when the game entered beta. It was our goal to release the game in the state we consider to fulfill our original vision, including all planned features and core game components. Moreover, the game includes a lot of things that were not planned at the beginning of development (solar panels, planets, rotors, pistons, wheels, and many more features).
Space Engineers was one of the first Early Access games on Steam and one of the few titles to be successfully released after several years of passionate development. We keep our promises!
Space Engineers has been in Early Access for 5+ years, and during this period we developed the game from a proof-of-concept to a feature complete space engineering sandbox. We sold more than 3 million copies and we have more than 200,000 monthly active players.
Because Space Engineers development was open, you were able to see what’s happening under the hood. Contrary to other products, where you see the final product, but don’t see how the project has been developed and changed over time, and what challenges the development team had to overcome.
With this update, we are also setting a new price for Space Engineers to $19.99. According to our analysis and tests, this price better suits the majority of Space Engineers fans. This change also brings all regional prices on Steam to match countries specifications and regional differences.

With today’s major update we are releasing a large overhaul to the physics in Space Engineers. The update is primarily focusing on pistons, rotors, landing gears, and grid deformations. These mechanics have been a top priority for the SE team during the last year - to have these things be as robust, stable, and intuitive as possible. The game’s physics are now more stable and creations shouldn"t break, explode or do uncontrollable things under normal conditions with default settings.
Hello, Engineers! We are getting extremely close to the next major release with the team reviewing the last few remaining details before we can let it loose on the community. We truly appreciate your patience with us as we prepare this update as we really want it to blow your minds!
Hello, Engineers! The team continues to mainly focus on the next major release but in today"s update we still have some nice improvements for you. Character backpacks, which could decrease the performance on highly populated servers, can now be removed from the world via the "Remove Floating Objects" function in the Space Master screen.
Hello, Engineers! Today’s update comes with an exciting new addition - the Skin Recycler! With this, you can recycle your unwanted or duplicate skins and upgrade them to a new Badger skin! The recycler will give you recycle tokens for your old skin pieces, which you can trade in for new items of your choice. All of this is done in the character customization screen.
Space Engineer"s fourth anniversary was this Sunday, and there"s been a lot of speculation and excitement about it. However, today"s update is not the anniversary update. We have been working very hard on the next major update which was originally scheduled to release today, but we decided to delay it for a few more weeks to give our team more time to perfect all the changes. This next update is seriously exciting, with some pretty huge changes. We want to make sure it"s as good as it can possibly be before we release it, so please stay patient and start up the major update hype train :)
Hello engineers! We’ve heard your feedback for the last few minor updates, and since so many of you are missing the weekly update videos, we’ve decided to post some new, different content! This week we have the first video in a series we’re calling Catchin’ Clang. In this series, everyone’s favorite developer, Rexxar, will give you a behind the scenes look at the process of finding and fixing bugs in Space Engineers!
Hello, Engineers! Today"s minor release comes with a sizeable batch of general improvements. The team has been working hard on both fixes and features of upcoming updates and are looking forward to seeing in the hands of our players. Issues fixed in this week"s update include the dampeners HUD icon showing the incorrect state, controls being inverted when two players pilot a single grid and inventory scrolling not working properly. Additionally there"s more sound improvements. For example, you will notice a new sound when walking with activated magnetic boots and footstep sounds should now be in sync with animation.
Hello, Engineers! This week"s minor release comes with some important general improvements. Issues fixed include a number of audio issues like wheel sounds playing even when a vehicle is not moving and choking sounds being heard by all players. Also, the Doppler Effect should now be heard correctly through your sound device of choice. Additionally, there’s some modding improvements; mods can now use WAV format audio instead of WXM.
Behind the scenes, the team is busy working towards some exciting major updates for the game as we approach the fourth year anniversary of Space Engineers. Stay tuned...
Hello, Engineers! This week"s minor release brings you a significant round of fixes and improvements. Numerous fixes for the UI are included in the update and downloading mods should no longer fail when loading into a new world. Direct connect now allows DNS as well as IP address to join multiplayer games. Also, headphone users will be happy to hear that we fixed the volume of hangar door sound effects!
Hello, Engineers! This weeks update brings you more fixes and improvements. There should be fewer multiplayer crashes, issues with block groups in control panel should be fixed and Remote Control functions: Take Control and Sharing now work correctly.
Hello, Engineers! This week’s major update brings a huge amount of improvements to the game as well as a couple of new armor blocks. The first thing you will notice when starting up the game is the changes to the main menu user interface. A lot of improvements were made as we focused on enhancing readability and usability of our interface, while removing several inconsistencies and making the screens more visually appealing. We have also added additional tooltips, reorganized the contents of several screens and added a screenshot preview to the “Load Game” menu, to help you find the right save more easily.
Hello, Engineers! While we are fully focused on next major update, in this week"s minor we are bringing bunch of fixes likes not spawning containers, small advance rotor head clipping through rotor body. This update is bringing a lot of crash fixes with various UI cases, resource distribution, copy and pasting of drones in MP and others. Perhaps the most noteworthy fix this update is concerning the visual bug for moving grids that was encountered by RYZEN and I7 users.

Hello, Engineers! This week"s minor release is primarily focusing on the Chinese translation of the game, but also on other minor fixes such as parachute fixes, container spawning, block fixes and many others.
During 5 month period, We have been working on Chinese translation for Space Engineers with the great help from Chinese community! Now we are happy to announce, that we have finished the translation and releasing it today.
Hello, Engineers! With today"s major release we are bringing you some amazing additions to the game! From now on, you will be able to personalize your engineer with a broad range of new items! We are introducing 33 customizable skin sets for your engineer, your tools and your weapons. It’s time to show off! On top of that, another brand-new block makes its debut in Space Engineers: A reloadable parachute block for both small and large grid!
Hello, Engineers! This week’s minor release is primarily focused on memory optimizations and fixing memory leaks although it does contain some more general improvements for the game as well. We are getting extremely close to our next major update with the team finalizing and testing the features that will be present in that release so stay tuned. Going back to today’s update, our programmers were able to track down various memory leaks, some of which we know have been very problematic for players recently but we appreciate your patience while these were being resolved. On top of this, they were also able to optimize memory usage in certain areas of the game during their search for leaks. But be sure to let us know if you experience any more memory leaks on your worlds and servers. Some of the other issues fixed include rotor displacement settings not working on static grids, air vents consuming power even when disabled and the rocket launcher block’s shoot toggle not functioning. Additionally, we resolved an explosive situation where it was possible to add a rotor head even if it’s spawn position was obstructed.
Just as a reminder, we have a Discord server set-up for the discussion of anything related to Keen Software House. This is a great place for you to share creations and ideas, but also to just hang out with fellow engineers.
Hello, Engineers! This week’s update is minor release which of course means there’s a fresh batch of general improvements for you while the team works towards completing bigger objectives. As it wasn’t mentioned in the video a couple of weeks ago, it’s just worth highlighting the fact that we added a new cryopod interior in the major update which makes being inside one feel much more immersive now. The main issues fixed in today’s update include hangar doors injuring characters, trees sometimes being invisible for clients on dedicated servers and the model of interior turrets becoming twisted when welded. Additionally, disconnecting huge grids with merge blocks should no longer cause significant freezes to occur.
It’s been great reading everyone’s feedback from the last couple of weeks and to hear that many engineers have been experiencing greater performance on their worlds and servers. We’ve still got a lot of improvements and optimisations to come as well some surprises along the way. Please consider leaving us a review on Steam as a way to share your feedback with the team and the worldwide gaming community.

Hello, Engineers! We are extremely excited to announce that today we are releasing the next major update for the game which contains a huge batch of optimisations and improvements!
Hello, Engineers! We’ve got a minor update for you this week after last week’s major update, and the team have been busy processing various issues reported by the community on our forums. For example we’ve fixed problems with connectors and block placement on dedicated servers. Small grid rotor displacement settings should now be saved in blueprints too. Additionally, a number of crashes were also resolved. It’s been great to read everyone’s feedback and to hear that many players have seen big performance gains in their worlds. Please do continue to let us know your thoughts and experiences with these weekly updates. In today’s work in progress section We would like to talk about the render optimizations showcased earlier this week. We demonstrated how a world with 16 red ships would run at around 45FPS on a system running the current version of game. In comparison, the exact same scenario was then loaded on a prototype version with the render optimizations included and ran at around 60FPS! One of the improvements which helped to achieve this was making the GPU be no longer limited by the CPU. You can expect these
Hello, Engineers! Today’s release is a major one bringing you some of the biggest optimizations in the game’s history. For example, the 16 players and 16 red ships multiplayer scenario ran at a sim speed of 0.25 before optimizations and now it runs at 1.0! We achieved this by reducing blocks per frame updates, reducing world matrix calculations per frame, and by enabling multithreaded physics.
Hello, Engineers! Once again, we’ve got a minor update for you today with more crash fixes and a couple of improvements as the team battles with the last few remaining issues in the next major update.
Hello Engineers! There’s a batch of art and animation fixes in today’s minor update as the team moves ever closer to the next major update which will contain significant improvements to performance and multiplayer. Issues with model fixed this week include incorrect LODs on a number of blocks like the small grid merge block and small grid camera but also missing textures on blocks such as wheel suspension and the large ship welder. Moving on now to a couple of the notable animation issues that were fixed, using hand tools will no longer stretch the engineer’s arms and rifles should now aim where the crosshair is pointing.
Hello, Engineers! We’ve got a new round of crash fixes and general improvements in this week’s update as the team progresses behind the scenes on bigger tasks like optimisation, physics and of course multiplayer.
Hello, Engineers! This week’s minor update release contains more crash fixes and general improvements as the team continues work towards the next major release.
We are also happy to announce that we are releasing an updated 3D model obj exporter today that will work with the latest version of the game (CTRL+ALT+E). This will allow you to create 3D prints of your creations and upload them to sites like Sketchfab, opening up many new ways to share what you build in Space Engineers. You can even add a Sketchfab model to the Steam Workshop page of a creation, providing an interactive preview to other players before they use it in-game.
Hello, Engineers! This week’s update is another minor release that contains crash fixes and smaller improvements as the team continues work towards the next major release. Good news - we managed to improve AMD compatibility and fix flickering shadows issues.
Hello, Engineers! This week’s update is a minor release that contains some smaller improvements as the team starts work towards the next major release once again. You should notice that because the last update was major, we created the ability to rollback to the most updated version of the previous major update 1.179 via the BETAS tab in Steam.
Lastly, next Monday we will be streaming at 7PM CEST on the Keen Community Network over on Twitch. The first segment will be with Deepflame looking at Medieval Engineers and the game’s upcoming major release and then there will be a Q&A session with Marek and other members of the team here at KeenSWH.
Hello, Engineers! Today we have the game’s next major update for you. This means that we have more significant features in the update on top of a bunch of fixes and improvements.
Hello, Engineers! Today’s patch is another minor release, bringing some more smaller improvements as the team continues work towards the next major release. This includes a significant fix for ship dampeners so now, ships with multiple types of thrusters will no longer slowly fall in planetary gravity. Additionally, we resolved an issue players were experiencing with ships not being affected by gravity at all which meant they would fly on planets as if they were in space.
Hello, Engineers! Today’s minor release comes with some improvements as the team works towards the next major release. This includes particle fixes for jump drives, character drills and character welders. Additionally, we resolved a number of crashes related to multiplayer.
Owners of the Deluxe version of the game will notice a new badge has appeared in the main menu screen. If you are interested in playing a retro version of Space Engineers from 2013, listening to the entire soundtrack and browsing concept art from the game, check out the Deluxe Edition on the Steam Store.

Lastly, next Monday we will be streaming at 7PM CET on the Keen Community Network over on Twitch. The first segment will be with Deepflame looking at Medieval Engineers and the game’s plans for the future and then there will be a Q&A session with Marek and lead artist Natiq, where among other topics, we will be discussing the art in Space Engineers.
Hello, Engineers! We are happy to announce that today we are releasing the first iteration of the new heads-up display. Firstly you will notice that the screen is much less cluttered now as lots of the informational text has been replaced with bars and icons. A notable feature is that the oxygen and hydrogen bars indicate how many bottles you have in your inventory that are capable of replenishing your personal supply. The HUD contains a new speedometer and inventory capacity bar which updates as you fill your character"s backpack, while the main toolbar has had numerous visual changes made to it while still retaining elements of the classic style.
Nearly every element of the user interface has been updated including the main menu, block screen, control panel and much more. You will notice new icons on all of these pages and screens too! Overall, the UI and HUD now looks much cleaner, higher quality and more immersive! Lastly, as mentioned in previous videos, the HUD is fully moddable so modders… go crazy!
Hello, Engineers! Today we are making changes to the release system to be simpler and involve the community more. The main change is that we are removing Develop branch from the game. There will be only one branch and updates will be tagged as Minor or Major. We will still patch the game every week with Minor updates, but Major updates will not be scheduled with strict dates in advance but rather will be released only when everything is completely tested, fixed and approved by a closed testing group to ensure the build is OK. Also we will leave the previous update as a separate rollback branch on steam - so you can always switch one update back.
Hello, Engineers! Today’s update contains numerous multiplayer improvements and LOD optimizations. Firstly, there should no longer be cases of missing planets, asteroids and grids when connected to multiplayer servers. We also added a loading wheel to indicate when anything from the server is being streamed to the client. This will definitely help players by letting them know that the surrounding environment is still loading when selecting a medbay in the respawn screen. Additionally, there were some other minor desync fixes made this week. For example, you should not see any HUD warnings from other connected players from now on.
Lastly, we have created a much more detailed guide for the cutscene editor which you can find on the forums. This is part of our ongoing efforts to produce more guides for the modding and scripting of Space Engineers.
Hello, Engineers! This week’s update comes with some improvements to the overall game while the team continues work behind the scenes on the new HUD, performance, physics and multiplayer among other things. So to start with, a significant number of blocks, all of which are larger than 1x1x1 in size, now have improved placement behaviour. This includes medical rooms, large hydrogen thrusters, refineries, and many more. A good example of these changes is that you will now be able to place a medical room on a single armour block, this was not possible before. There will also be additional blocks with conveyor ports that will try to align with other conveyor ports when being placed. Certain elements of ship construction should be slightly faster and more intuitive thanks to these changes!
In other news, there’s a group from Keen Software House at GDC 2017 this week including the producer of Space Engineers, the producer of Medieval Engineers and a red Space Engineer… This coming Friday, they’re organising a fan meet-up so if you’re going GDC and would like to join in, please contact Deepflame via the KeenSWH Discord: https://discord.gg/KeenSWH[1]
Hello, Engineers! To start with, let us explain what happened yesterday. We were planning on releasing the new HUD this week but due some technical complications and internal feedback, the team decided it was better to postpone this feature, giving us more time to improve and polish it before a first public release. At least now, you can rest easy knowing that it’s not too far away!
Hello, Engineers! This week’s update contains more improvements to the overall game and
