The NEXT Space Engineers Server Theme - Preview & Discussion
Added 2020-03-02 13:02:40 +0000 UTCHi everyone,
I hope you are all well. Today I wanted to talk about the next theme for the Supporter Space Engineers Server, which I am hoping to roll out in early April (TBD). The theme of this server is something I have been teasing/discussing for a few weeks now and it's also something you have asked and spoken to me about before.
- THE COLONY LOST Space Engineers Dedicated Server
Yep, I hope you're all excited, because I totally am!
This server is still in the heavy design phase, as I and my Moderator Team are currently designing, prototyping and testing out mods and features that we want to implement into this server.
New Mods, new NPC actions and tons of great events. Hopefully, we can really engage with this server, as come the launch, I am changing the way I operate my Space Engineers Server Network for 2020. Part of that is the Supporter Server.
My dream of this server is having NPC factions like RWI, team up with players to fight events with the Green Drones. Essentially tying right in with what we are doing in the actual YouTube series of Space Engineers - Colony LOST.
With regards to mods for the Space Engineers - Colony LOST server, we'll be using the ones from the series with some changes. The Atlas Superlaser will be present, but only usable by NPC Admin Factions (The Green Drones). This is just to make sure you don't blow yourselves up, though I can foresee an opportunity to release this later...
The Mods List (WIP)
- Mexpex Warfare Industries
- Engineers Defence Kit
- Reworked Armour Ramps Mod
- Colony LOST Cinematic Universe Pack (Skins and custom elements)
- Atlantis Skybox
- Rotary Airlocks
- Defense Shields
- WeponCore (WIP - If ready in time!)
- Letters Mod (Name your ships)
This mod list is still a HEAVY WIP, and I fully expect it to change over the course of the month as we prepare the server for a launch expected in April. WeaponCore is a big maybe, depending on if it's multiplayer version is ready in time for the server release, as I would love to include it.
Your suggestions for mods are always welcome, so please do suggest anything via the comments on this post. Key thing to remember, we're trying to base and fit things around the theme of "Colony LOST", so therefore Star Wars mods don't really fit.
=====================================================================
Hopefully you're all looking forward to this server itteration. I'll ofcourse be sharing some more detais as we head towards the "estimated" release date of April 2020.
Remember your feedback is wanted and ALWAYS appreciated. Hopefully, we can make this a real kickass Dedicated Space Engineers server that allows you to experience the inner workings of the Colony Universe. Fight alongside RWI in the war against the GDA, and maybe team up with some iconic individuals!
- Jack

2020-04-04 23:17:15 +0000 UTCThanks, Phyre, we'll look into this one!
2020-03-31 12:59:53 +0000 UTCAdding it to my list! :)
2020-03-31 12:59:28 +0000 UTCso not a mod idea but i think it would be a good idea to ether limit the safe zone block per player for the next server as i have seen a lot of ppl over using them and that also takes away from the fact that this is a pvp server
2020-03-29 22:00:28 +0000 UTCI would like to suggest this mod, the MA Spotlight Pack. It adds a whole bunch of new spotlights, including angled ones, that also have a much greater range (some can shine up to 500m). I use this mod to light wide areas and also on large ships that need to see more than a little distance when flying in the dark, inside asteroids, on dark planetary surfaces, etc. My aim with this mod so that people do not have to spam tons of lights to light up an area, hopefully greatly reducing the number needed. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1881158066

2020-03-29 18:50:02 +0000 UTChere is another mod that might be nice to have-Large Grid Hangar Doors IR-https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1965090900
2020-03-28 18:05:27 +0000 UTCGood suggestion! Though it does not look like it is compatible with WeaponCore for the. moment :O
2020-03-28 17:30:30 +0000 UTCwhat about this wep. mod? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1705288123&searchtext=ravenbolt
2020-03-25 22:05:29 +0000 UTChttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1605982958 I reccomend the Conveyor Maintenance Shaft mod. its basically hallways and Doors that have Conveyor functionality, allowing you to place doors for better access through conveyor areas where you would normally have to add additional Conveyors to go around hallways. Also https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=410678202 which adds conveyors with built in vents reducing how many conveyors as well.
2020-03-17 22:28:16 +0000 UTCThanks for the suggestion! I'll add this to our list of things to look into :)
2020-03-16 22:14:55 +0000 UTCcould we get a tiered jump drive mod by chance on kinda like this one-> https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1565828704
2020-03-16 17:56:50 +0000 UTCWill consider this one and let you know when the final list comes out. Though personally i like the normal mod as it's more stand-out.
2020-03-16 12:05:06 +0000 UTCWe'll be keeping that one for sure! :D
2020-03-16 12:04:12 +0000 UTCAlso it would be nice if we could continue to use the Norca Engineer Hud we've been using on the Expanse Server. :)

2020-03-16 00:26:57 +0000 UTCI would like to suggest an alternative to the ancient Darth Biomech letters mod that we've been using remakes/revivals of since the beginning of time. the BalCorp Letters mod ( https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1700265063 ) Gives letters a flat, less "welded on" look that makes it look more like something actually painted on the hull as well as coming in not only 1x1 small/large grid size, but 2x2 and 3x3 blocks as well for use on larger grids where larger print would be useful. :) Also the font itself is nicer and contains more letters, symbols and other things that the old letters mod does not have.

2020-03-15 20:13:50 +0000 UTCif possible tiered ship tools https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=776706275&searchtext=tiered and better stone https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=406244471&searchtext=better+stone better stone just adds RL ores, instead of the just having the pure ones we have Northwind weapons and Mwi Homing weaponary

2020-03-12 16:47:41 +0000 UTCHey Joseph, Reactors are a yes I think! Not sure about engines just yet, but I’ll let you know soon!
2020-03-11 18:09:26 +0000 UTCI'd like this kept from the current server: Deuterium Fusion Reactors https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1259182705 I'd also like to see the return of this one: Tiered Engine Overhaul https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1545345896
2020-03-11 18:08:49 +0000 UTCI would like to recommend Digi's Buildinfo mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=514062285 its been around for years and is reliable like much of what Digi makes; it shows a lot of normally hidden or obscure details about various blocks when you're going to place them and I've found it to be tremendously helpful when building in both creative and survival over the years, so much so that is one of my 'base mods' that I never start a new world without. :D (this mod has 1 dependency, Text Hud API https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=758597413 )

2020-03-10 18:19:50 +0000 UTCDoes this mod work with UncleSte's Armour Ramp Mod Pack?
2020-03-10 16:52:29 +0000 UTCOne planet would be cool, but i think we'll go for a nice solar system
2020-03-10 16:51:57 +0000 UTChttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1563002391
2020-03-10 15:17:47 +0000 UTCwhat about for interior doors i used these a while ago and there a pretty nice design
2020-03-10 15:17:43 +0000 UTCthat would make the shield super op
2020-03-08 22:39:57 +0000 UTCWhat about the deuterium mod as it was quite good for making bigger ships?
2020-03-08 14:47:59 +0000 UTCone planet only? Lost in a one planet system!
2020-03-08 05:10:30 +0000 UTCA mod I'd like to see on the new server itteration is the ARC (Armor Ramp Compendium) which will both improve the designs we can make, but it can also improve the block count, so we can build larger ships with fewer blocks, helping to facillitate that "capital ship" feel of the capital ships https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1581994759&searchtext=armor+ramp+compendium
2020-03-07 10:15:10 +0000 UTCModular encounter spawner framework and it's associated plugins adds a lot of life and strife to otherwise empty nothingness between players. +1
PhyreFox
2020-03-02 16:05:32 +0000 UTCthat would be a cool one if they add it i like some of the guns in that pack
2020-03-02 16:00:37 +0000 UTCis this a possebility https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=429053416&searchtext=Oki Also i think we'd need this one aswell ammo management https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1423362131
2020-03-02 15:57:56 +0000 UTCthere are 2 mods i can think of i would like to see as it would help out with the block limits and one if for looks 1)Scarce Tiered Ship Tools-https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1594335972 2)Small Cryo Gone Large (Does not replace Vanilla Cryopod)-https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1789872411it would also be nice to see more npc's if the map size is kept the same as that would help bring some life to the server so could be worth using some of the Modular Encounters Collection- https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=888460730
2020-03-02 13:35:44 +0000 UTCCould you link me the mod you mean please? :)
2020-03-02 13:28:41 +0000 UTCI'm thinking since we are not going to use tiered thrusters maybe we can use s modular thrusters they have ion and hydrogen vairents as well to make the ships look more sleek with the thrusters
2020-03-02 13:27:42 +0000 UTCI most definitely second the paint gun mod. Here's a link to the mod. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=500818376
