Happy New Year + Update Time :D (2020)
🕑 Added 2020-01-05 17:09:44 +0000 UTCHi Everyone,
Happy New Year! 2020 is off to a great start for myself and I hope for all of you as well. I've got some things to share for what I'm going to be doing in January 2020 onwards and i would like your feedback on somethings, first, let's chat about the Space Engineers Supporter Server.
We've been running "The Expanse" theme now for over 2 months and I think it's time we make some changes to how things are going down.
- Supporter Server Updates
I'm looking to make some changes to the Supporter Server, therefore I welcome any feedback you currently have with how it is running. EVENT wise, I can say that 3 are currently being planned and developed by myself and the Discord admin team, however, I would love to know if you guy has any personal events you would like to run if so, get in touch with Dr. Craz via Discord!
Let's talk mods! BUILD and REPAIR will be added very soon, it took a little longer as we had to be confident it would work properly, but we're 95% sure it will be fine. Again, if this mod critically reduces simulation speed it will be removed. Any other mod suggestions are welcome, please link them for me in the comments on this post.
This Monday, the 6th of January, we will see some downtime as we edit the server settings to ensure it is running at top performance. We'll let you know of any changes we implement. Ideally, this will be a bi-weekly thing, where we can update based off of feedback :D
- YouTube Content
I spoke about my planned changes to upcoming YouTube content in this general video, you can find it HERE, to save me retyping it all and boring everyone ;)
Colony LOST returns on January 10th and more BTS content will be finding its way over to yourselves, so be on the lookout for that one. I'm also planning to launch a small Supporter-exclusive behind the scenes series into how i make Colony LOST and other related machinima material like Planet Wars and such. That is in progress, but taking a while longer atm.
- New Supporter Monthly Chill & Chat!
Coming in just under a week, I am starting a brand new MONTHLY Supporter event.
Introducing the Monthly Discord Chat / Q&A / Chill and Chat, basically, come hang out with me for an hour and we'll talk about whatever you want.
The first session is on JANUARY 12th @ 20:00 GMT via the Supporter Discord Lounge :)
It would be great if you could come out and join me for the evening, in the future, the times will change and dates a bit more as we go through the months. ATM, it depends on my crazy work schedule :)
Plenty of other stuff on the horizon, like new servers!
I mentioned a while back, and providing all goes to plan *when* the server software is out, we'll be setting up an exclusive Supporter - Astroneer server! - Depending on how well the server tech works when we get our hands out, but I'm eager to add that to my current roster!
Alright all, that's everything for today! Make a note of the dates mentioned above and I'll see you there!

not a super big mod but one that would be nice to have is the light block improvements-easy control panel access as it can be a paid to change the lighting from a door or seat as not always do you know if you are changing the right one here is a link to it https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=603906728, another one the is more for looks is the small cryo gone large https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1789872411
We could put it to a vote if players wanted that, but currently, I've' not hard much about it. The skybox is there to add some extra level of challenge to the game :)
Please, pick another skybox. It is was to dark in space.
Block limits have been slightly adjusted :)
I'm fairly happy with things here. Id possibly echo what Phyrefox said about refineries and assemblers but its only because then i can fill the symmetry holes on my space station not cos i actually need them. I'm looking forward to new events and changes. I was wondering if any of the coming events will start to split the players in terms of alliances? A lot of that makes the expanse is the play off between the 3 major powers. i don't think i'm alone in wanting to pick a side and pursue an goal/agenda. Also i'm hoping there may be some scope with coming events to have to use different vehicle types we have had some space battles which are great and i'm looking forward to more. but i really loved the base infiltration. Some more content requiring us to get out of the massive ships would be very welcome. and give us a reason to develop land based and atmospheric builds.

Would it be possible to even up some of the odd restricted block numbers? the odd number refineries, assemblers, pdcs are kind of annoying. Also please let us have more than one projector for repair purposes. :o Mod suggestions...
