Gaming Space Engineers (now in BETA)

Is it creative or survival

I tried both.

(with oxygen/ice world option enabled)

:facepalm:
I was in creative, and just spawned myself some ice. Didn't realize that there was an oxygen world option.

Thanks!

Yes, the Oxygen/Ice world option needs to be set to make it work, otherwise you won't even die in survival without wearing a helmet. :thumbup:

And I suppose I'll be adding a routine for locking doors between pressurized and unpressurized rooms to programmable blocks. I hope there is available script interface to get the vent parameters.

IMHO the best way would be to add a "mutual lock" list to the doors to make safe airlocks.

Oh great, now I need to rebuild ships and replace piston doors with airtight doors. :dry:

Luckily I only needed minor modifications to my initial plan for incorporating oxygen (Adding airlocks) and the hangar deck is still before CDR...

The first section of the mothership is done!

All settings to 1x in this game, survival mode, with oxygen.

I'm guessing there's a fair amount of piracy going on in that game.

Space Engineers Black Flag! :lol:

Actually more than we need airlock doors, we need docking connectors. Preferably native because connector mods will unleash a storm of compatibility issues.

I love this air thing so much.

Darth Biomech's docking ring is actually just remodelled merge blocks, so no compatability issues there beyond not being able to fit all other docking rings.

Native docking connectors used on included cargo ships would be great, though. Breach and clear!

Looks like somebody's been playing with the fog machine again...

Using a merge block turns your ship into a station if you dock it to one. But it looks fantastic!

ASTP anyone?

Seems like a nerf for survival, or at least makes it much harder for existing survival worlds

 

[orb]

Mining uranium when you first spawn in the world isn't that much important now as finding ice deposits.

 

[Izack]

Previous ship wasn't big enough, so the new approach is to build the interior first and the hull around it. We'll see how it goes.

Standard pattern room. There will be four of these: a medical room, a mess hall, a barracks, and another modular one.

Argh. I'm considering quitting a survival world, because of the 11 asteroids I've visited and catalogued, none have had any silicon or silver. The resources are almost always the same - huge amounts of magnesium and iron with additional uranium and cobalt. Several also had gold, and two had small amounts of platinum. None had nickel, silver, or silicon. What little I've managed to get has been from the one derelict in the world.

On that topic, how exactly are derelicts spawned? There was one near the centre of the map, and in all the time I've been exploring since not so much as a piece of vagrant junk has shown up on sensors.

I've restarted a total of 21 times, most of those restarts were due to not having 1 or more ores within 7km of my starting location. However, 5 of the restarts were due to updates that made it easier to just start over than trying to rebuild all my ships.
