Gaming Space Engineers (now in BETA)

So ice is no longer necessary; oxygen can be produced through magic. Bases are going to start looking pretty ugly with those huge tube arrays.

 

[meson800]

Other than the magic of creating something from just sunlight (even plants need water+carbon dioxide), the oxygen farms seem a little OP.

Comparing it to solar panels, you need around 50 solar panels to add up to one reactor, but you can stay alive with only two oxygen farms?

 

[Dantassii]

They specifically say that they produce a SMALL amount of O2... using them to fill a room would take forever I suppose. So you still need Ice and O2 Generators to fill a room with O2 then you could use the O2 panels to maintain it. Of course if you have a lot of airlocks that hose O2 out into space instead of reclaiming it... you could be in some trouble.

I'm waiting for someone to create a 'deer in the headlight' photo using this and a spotlight and a VERY BIG ship moving at maximum speed....

I don't know how I feel about this. Seems they're just looking for unpaid labor. Modders will optimize the game, but Keen will reap the rewards.

They view themselves as industry leaders, but the game they made forgot to be a game. The only engagement in it is grinding until you have everything. Then it fails to be a game.

 

[Gerdih]

I dont know either, I hope this game ends up being a big thing, and I hope they have done the right decission there.

I am just gonna say: YAY! PLANETS!!!

I cant wait to see if we can have orbiting stations when those are in game

That's nice, but uh, did anyone else look at the PLANETS??
(Edit: yes they did)

Autopilots!!! YES!!!!!

 

[Quick_Nick]

I suppose you could now send supplies or a rescue ship to someone without having to go there yourself.
I'm sure there are more creative uses to be found.

I was thinking of self-deploying com relays. Antenna, two solar panels, a gyro, a battery, two timer blocks, a remote control unit, a programmable block, six thrusters... I think I have it nailed down. Time to build a prototype!

Just hope there are no asteroids in the way. The Autopilot just flies in a straight line to the waypoint.

Okay, a few more reverse thrusters and a proximity sensor set to detect asteroids.:thumbup:

 

[Dantassii]

Does anyone know if they have 'fixed' the 'shake apart' problem with large ships that started happening a few weeks ago? I've been afraid to get into my large mining ship since then and fly it about after I added another ring of HUMONGOUS mining drills. I've spent the last few weeks building on my station because I ended up with 72 MILLION iron ingots after my last mining run. I'm in survival mode.
