Maybe it's just me, but I find the swirly, unrealistically bright nebulae in the background when you're in space really detracts from the feeling of being in the great infinite void. It would be great to at least have an option to turn this off so that space looks more like it does in, for example, Elite Dangerous, or even actual space.

If you agree, please vote for my suggestion here. If not, that's fine too!

Have had space engineers for years however have only just picked it up following Splitsie starter tutorials - instead of following his space one I wanted to do something myself. So I made a space A10 and this is my first time in space in space engineers!

I was playing with mods like welder wall and subgrid projector plugin. Then this happened.

Sorry for low fps but the sim speed droped like instantly.

Has anyone experienced something simmilar before?

getting back into the game, and one thing i remember is that leaving planet was so easy i regularly did it with my jetpack. so i came here to ask if there's a mod that makes leaving the planet harder?

My battleship is large and I've already removed every component that has multiple edges except for a small few that are vital to the ship, currently my obj has 911k non-manifold edges and other problems. This basically just means that i can't print it, because a ton of problems occur when slicing, the biggest being the holes in the print.

I've tried fixing the manifold edges with software, but the outcome was always a way worse version of the battleship that was basically unrecognizable.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hello engineers, What would be the best way of making a hitch, every time that I think its fine I connect it to the rotor, trailer and my truck get launched into obliteration even though everything is set to 0 torque? any suggestions I want to make a mining and drone trailer that Is on a semi trailer so I can store it when not using. I am also wondering the best way to make sort of like a ball hitch style for a pickup truck. NO DLC NO MODS.

In SE1 you could disassemble components back into their basic ingredients using the disassemble mode in the assembler. In SE2 I can not find how to do this or any information on if it's even possible?

I am in the process of repairing/rebuilding a crashed Pilgrims Curiosity in 2026. It is completely different than any of the blueprints found in the Steam Workshop. I found that this uses at least 5 different DLCs. It will probably take me a million years to complete this because of the need for the ion engine parts which will require about a gazillion platinum ores.

As seen in the picture, this was buried in the ice on Titan. Short of grinding and replacing every block below ground level, I have done my best so far to remove the ice from the ship.

I recently did this with another unknown distress signal that turned out to be a large rover. The issue I had with that was that I could not get it to move. After grinding it down to nothing, I found that there was still ice hidden in some places.

For clarity, I am doing this in Survival mode.

First question is. How can I ensure that all ice has been removed without grinding and replacing all blocks below ground level? I have already gone around this ship with my miner with drills in terrain clearing mode, but that may not be enough.

Second question is. Has anyone successfully done this very thing with getting a crashed ship or rover to work after rebuilding it? What did you do to make that happen?

Third question is. Does anyone have a current blueprint for this that they can share? Not the original one from around 2018 or the "Project Legacy" one from 2024 as neither of those are like the one below as they don't have the DLC parts.

I know it would probably be a lot easier just to build this from scratch, but who wants to do things the easy way? :)

Due to server problems i just quit elite dangerus but there is an itch for me for space games . I already play nms so i was thinking adding space engineers to the list and was wondering if there are any server or mod that i can join to other people so i don't feel alone in the whole universe ? Also do you guys recommend se2 or is it still too early or not worth to buy since i already have se 1 .
