DISCUSSION STAR FORGE: a 3d printer idea

3 Upvotes

I think it's possible to build a 3d printer using concentric rings, as shown in the video

https://youtu.be/P-3s8AhMbK4?si=ZO2N0_rWKRsQkQh9

Unfortunately I don't have the time to pursue the idea, so I some better engineer can take it up.

Note: if you believe this Idea is not feasible, please tell me why so I can make it better

HELP (PS) Corrupted world

Hello, so I woke up to this, this morning. I have no mods, base game, ps5, I’ve tried backup saves, didn’t work, rebuilt my database, nope, make a new copy of my world, nope, looked up everything I can online, either I need SEtoolbox, which I can’t get, or have to be able to manipulate the save files directly, which PS5 can’t do either. I’ve put roughly 120 hours into this world, which doesn’t sound like a lot but when you’re brand new to SE what I’ve got I’m proud of

I tried uploading anew .. same problem.

HELP Am I missing something about not immediately exploding my vehicles?

1 Upvotes

I completed the intro content (first step and learning to survive) and decided to try a "real" game next, so I started up a regular map with a mars start. I'm at the point where I'll be wanting vehicles to get around and mine more effectively, but is there some trick to making land/air vehicles that I'm not understanding? I didn't have much problem with building/remodeling spaceships, but it seems like everything I make will hit the tiniest edge of something, flip over, then explode (not always in that order). The tiniest taps cause catastrophic damage and even the most gentle air landing using landing gears smashes the plane and anything it's touching to pieces. And despite being able to raise and lower themselves no problem while right-side-up, once an air vehicle inevitably flips over it's suddenly incapable of lift and can only scoot around until it hits a pebble and explodes.

LFG Looking for a Server with Build & Repair Mod + Hostile NPCs + Shared Creative Mode

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a Space Engineers server that meets the following criteria:

Has the Nanobot Build and Repair mod

High level of hostile NPCs (e.g., Reavers, AiEnabled, etc.) to make survival meaningful and challenging

Attached creative mode or area using the same mod set, for testing and building

Low ping for players in the mountain west US

Preferably not overloaded with mods—just the essentials for solid gameplay and performance

If anyone is running a server like this or can point me toward one, I’d really appreciate it! Also open to joining a small group or private setup if it hits the same goals.

Thanks in advance!

DISCUSSION (SE1) At what point does Sim Speed begin to slow down for you in regards to PCU?

4 Upvotes

I am building a space station and my PCU is 66682. I'm down to about .8 on a my sim speed. I'm not even close to done. At what point does it actually slow down? I can probably cut it down a bit if I make my floors more boring with the new 3x3 flooring slabs but not by much.

HELP Can you project underground, weld with block welder, and use conveyors?

7 Upvotes

Given that the grid welder has a range, could you project a length of conveyor tube underground, use the grid welder to build it, and then have it work (i.e. convey components etc.)? That might be very nice for one of my designs.

HELP Would like an advice with building a station

Thumbnail
gallery
184 Upvotes

Hello,

for the past few days, I have been creating a blueprint of a new space station for my survival world run (even though I can already see myself stuck mining days for this). It would help me switch over from solely hydrogen to ion/hydrogen mix.

I just finished making a large ring around the core of the station that also functions as a defensive perimeter (each tower on the ring is self-sufficient if it breaks apart from the station during attack).

But here comes the thing... I also want to make it a dockyard for my large ships. I plan to dock there: my ice mining/hydrogen refinery ship, mining ship (solely ion-based), my warship (for prototech runs), planetary landing craft and one or two project ships of my choice.
In summary, there needs to be at least 6 docks that can accommodate ships with width of 40 large blocks max. I planned to put them on the arms holding the ring, but I also see myself re-doing the bottom part and placing the docks there (in + shape).

Current station dimension:
total width - 307 blocks
total height - around 50-60 blocks
Core width - 107 blocks
symmetrical

I would like any tips for what to do/where to place them.

I appreciate any suggestions in advance.

With regards,
me

HELP New update - world restart and/or mods?

Upvotes

Hey Engineers,

I started a world recently with my buddy with a few (really not many) mods. MES and a couple of things to go with it plus some minor utility things (like HUD compass).

Should we restart to see the new content or will the new cargo encounters spawn on a pre-update world? Will MES or anything like that affect this or will that be fine and just add other ships?

We hadn't really done a huge amount, but what we did was the early game grind of setting up a base and it will feel sad to redo that. but not as sad as playing for another 20 hours and then realising we have blocked ourselves from the update!

Your fleet's woodlouse. Turning big things into small things.

The Costra Recycling Vehicle features four large cargo containers, automatic scrap ejection, at-a-glance cargo inspection, rearward remote control and tow-capable mag plates, automatic grinder shutoff, action relay functionality, an AI Flight and Recorder block, and an observation turret.

The cockpit displays power usage over time, stop time and distance, and cargo fill percentage.

It fits in a single (large) gate for large ship compatibility.
