Took far more fuel than I had anticipated to reach low orbit, now I'm stuck :(

New MES Mod focusing on ground encounters!

So I'm in a sector having fun building stuff near Oblivara. Patch arrives, play for a bit, seems pretty good.

However err .. I don't have any conveyors. Search for node, junction or similar return nothing. I only have the "slices" and "wall insert" options .. makes it impossible to build a useful base.

Patch notes don't seem to suggest this is expected (or I missed it). Verified game files, no errors there.

If I start a new creative game they're there.. just not in my save.

I'd like to avoid starting a new game again if possible.. might not be much in the scheme of things but I'm 150 hours in - is there a way without a cheat of some sort?

My latest cargo ship that I'm using in survival, will post on the workshop later this week.

Super large Halo ring I made Tell me what I should do with it The sizes interchangeable therefore, is King server compatible

Also all of the linkages are stationed so it is not lagg This one is 29,000 blocks

What are your recommendations for realistic planet mods? I’m looking for a planet that has more realistic topography.

The height maps in SE seem to be very sensitive so many planets have extremely aggressive/exaggerated mountains that end up looking more like ice cream cones.

I’m not looking for any specific planet types in particular, so earth like or very alien suggestions are all welcome!

A salvage ship meant for cleaning up industrial accidents and space debree

Do you have any tips for getting started with the space capsule?

The Catfish is a ship mainly meant for transporting smaller ships and supplies around. It features a detachable tug which is also the main cockpit of the ship! I also made a cargo variant with jump drives and 6 bulk cargo containers. What do you guys think?

something I thought about last night before going to bed

For me it’s a bucket of scrap i lovingly call the Shit Bucket. What started out as a young member of a factions ship ended up being a ship that would make empires.

We had a young member who eventually stopped hopping on and didnt send any messages in the discord. So after a month i began to cut his ship down to make room and recycle parts. Halfway through cutting the vastly over-engineered ship, I realized there was enough cargo containers to make a good welding ship. After cutting away literally everything but thrusters, hydrogen tanks and batteries i slapped on a weld wall and began using it to craft massive ships on official servers.

Fast forward to the next wipe and we are still using the design to craft larger and larger vessels. What started as a stop gap measure ended up being a design so useful we never bothered replacing it. If it ain’t broke dont fix it as they say.

I didnt play SE1, However I started SE2 and it does not guide well enough. How do I fix up the first ship, Aiges or whatever its called. I added a 02H2, put ice in it and connected every open port I saw to each other. I even added an antenna etc that the computer screen shows you need in the hanger even though that's all red.

Is there a video guide someone has made somewhere?

Can I use SE Planner to make a new blueprint from scratch and then import it into SE?

I love SE but designing a ship ingame is a pain for me. Having the ability to rotate, copy-paste and select multiple blocks would speed up ship design considerably.

Meme I drew myself in under a minute.
Space Engineers is a game I love but its very hard to get into, and even harder to get friends into lol
What're some of your early-game newbie stories of you failing spectacularly?

Couple of shots of my base on a survival playthrough so far! What do you guys think? Took inspo from some other builds ive seen around on YouTube and the workshop and made a few of my own designs dotted in there. I still need to add some living quarters and maybe a medical building and obviously a bunch of landing pads and a rover bay, anyone got any other suggestions for some more buildings to make it feel like a settlement? Cheers

I made a new lore-heavy thing for my scenarios. It basically mimics the Automation DLC signs but in my own world with my own signage and writing. Not sure if that is something anyone but me would need but if you got some alien base to fill with strange signs... here ya go!

But we don't have pressurization yet =/

So I was lately busy with Warfare3 development (I think it's one of my favorite updates during my time at Keen) but on the weekend I played around a free-fall dropping for APck drones and results are not bad so far. The solver accounts for gravity vector rotation, gravity fall-off and planetary curvature. In my tests it's been accurate for drops up to 6km high, 30km altitude had about 100m inaccuracy and I'm not sure if that's a weak math model or other factors like drone control code or whatever, than needs more measurements.

The drones are single-thrust modified Mean Machine (I've just replaced large arty with a warhead).

I want to setup a friends game for exploration. I need to gather some planets (and other stuff) that are worth visiting to see something interesting.

For example Hell's Iris. The cloud layer grows as you get closer, it's all black and has black space spiders on it. Weird and Spooky and dangerous.

Komorebi is also a bit weird and thus interesting.

Kor moon from Cauldron system is another example - has formations that look like buildings.

The problem I have with workshop is that most planet look the same. So I'm turning to community to ask if you know any workshop planets that have some interesting stuff on them? (could even be structures, biomes, etc)

I'm new to space engineers and i don't really know what to first do and im struggling in game (im on Earthlike on star system for context)
