Or rather how easy it is, ever since they integrated mods into the steam workshop and since that patch, literally every one uses mods now. They can even be posted to the workshop so you can export your ships for others to play with and import theirs! And if it's in survival, you can 3D print it via the projector block and welders. The ability to save a ship to your clipboard and paste it an any creative world you'd like. And big updates like dedicated servers, remote control, factions, and creative mode asteroids, all about a month apart.
Usually two or three weeks of little stuff like pistons, blueprints, and cameras with bug fixes sprinkled in.
If there is a legitimate use of early access title, Keen Software House has earned it. Provided they are not huge mass content updates like 1.1, they have a nice pace and respond to feed back, and squash bugs relatively quickly. You can set a cargo container (SE chest) to either share with all, share with faction, or no share if you don't people touching your stuff, be wary grinding it down below the blue line in build mode resets the owner, so they can "hack" your blocks, though it takes longer to grind down a owned block than a normal one. This is what it could be looking like in the future.Įssentially ownership of (computerized) blocks, making them in/accessible to who you define. Remote control fighters, auto mining ships, big hangar doors and pop out turrets, (as seen in trailer) there are are all sorts of contraptions you can build! Y ou can even build functional 3d printers!Īlso now with programmable blocks that allow you to do in game scripting with C#!īig new announcements made. But if that isn't enough, there are mechanical parts such as pistons, rotors, gyroscopes, sensors, landing gear, thusters, gravity generators, gravity cubes, welders, grinders, drills, an assortment of turrets, conveyor tubes, docking ports, wheels, and more. Blocks themselves are cool, especially in the multiple shapes they come to make angled geometries. (as seen 0:18-0:21 of the trailer.) There are options to speed thing up if you do not want to go full out creative. You have to mone asteroids, refine the ore, manufacture the processed ore into componets, and use them to build your blocks by hand welding them. There is a "survival" mode, formerly called realistic mode. Like most other voxel sandboxes it is essentially a big tub of space legos, and I love it. I would not say I'm totally amazed, but SE is a pleasant surprise compered to other titles with block based building mechanics or ones with "Early Access!" slapped on. Who would not shut up about it, so I got it on a steam sale to see what the commotion is about. It is in alpha/active development, receiving weekly updates every thursday. Space Engineers is a voxel-based space sandbox game.
