    All the various plants you find. Take the time and read their descriptions. I did a hard staret on omicron last week and almost every plant I picked up cured something. I think one of them even cured parasite.

    Would it be possible to tweak the symmetry plane to be visually less obtrusive, a bit more transparent perhaps?

    Edit: Oh and another thing, I wish I could place a spotlight behind glass without it dimming the light, but I guess it's more realistic as it is.

    1. Make symmetry work for texturing and paint
    2. Make a copy/paste system.
    3. Put block rotation on the scroll wheel when holding blocks. Rather than having to flip the plane. Just have it auto rotate to all planes
    4. Allow 2 planes of symmetry.

    3.Note: Make this an OPTION. Do not make a forced change for everyone who likes the way it is.
    4.Note: Why not allow all 3? :)

    People will still make them with or without the helper planes. Adding in limiting restrictions that do not stop people from doing what they will do... just hurts everyone else who wants to be able to create things easier.

    Only if it'll be balanced and a luxurious alternative to fixing stuff by hand (or with partial restore through a facility), not something to displace it altogether. I absolutely can understand and agree that some less manual repair options should be available (especially when it comes to replacing non-cube hull blocks - a time consuming pain) but I will be very disappointed if complete dependance on automatic and full ship restoration will be just another regular thing in the game. Some suggestions regarding preventing that while still having an useful option I've already posted elsewhere.

    With regards to ship repairs, how about something like a service station that you can build on a CV or base? It could be quite a large item which could fit in a hanger and automatically repairs ships, but it takes time depending on the amount of damage and also requires resources. As for a CV repair module, you could have something placed in the CV which you put resources into and automatically repairs the ship in time?

    I know it's probably a similar solution to what others have said, but I honestly think it could be a good idea, especially for ships with components hidden away by blocks. Plus it gives you the opportunity to add a sweet hanger for repairs. :D

    Give us a way to elevate a vehicle so we can work on the underside and not have to use weird workarounds.

    Yes! I've played a couple of games that give us jacks, which I have found to be insanely useful. Also can be used to make crude elevators.

    At one point you could raise an HV while it is powered on, then hop out and work the underside. Now, it slams back down when you get out of the cockpit =p boooo.

    For SV, luckily you can raise it while powered on, and it will stay there for a bit of time after you get out.

    So, what about UNPOWERED (build in progress) stuff??? Definitely! Would be awesome to have a 'jack block' that you place in a BA/CV under your SV/HV build, and it lets you 'raise' by up to 1 block height.

    Ya mean 1 CV/BA block Height, not 1 SV/HV Block Height, right?

    Hello, this games is very nice, i like this type of game (minecraft, space engineer). You can inspire of space engineer because the system of build the differents factory is top : the box of stockage is connected at the factory, and you can developpe divers mecanisme for create a truck drill or space vessel drill.....
    I understand this a alpha, but with this addons the gameplay is more good.
    I have stop play space ingineer because the developpement on the planete is not good. You have make a nice job on this . But if you not add divers mod or possibility of connection on the divers factory , the game play go not interesting in the time.

    I'll second this. Painting large structures takes forever.

    I'd also like to see the ability to copy/paste structures and connect them to existing items. Being able to duplicate structures would help in building more complex structures.

    Would like to see some computer console textures. That way I can add them to my SVs. Would like to see more textures in general.

    Would also like a single block size bathroom vanity decoration. Also an antenna decoration that fits on SVs/HVs.

    New blocks: Stair railing that fits vertical, diagonal blocks. Extra wide automatic doors(double doors). Placing two single doors next to each other and having them both open and clip through each other just doesn't look right.

    Fireplace decoration
    More decoration/textures for hoses/piping and the like.

    More curved blocks to make it easier to build domed structures.

    Structural Integrity needs work. It seems far too unforgiving at the moment. Building arches and similar structures to transfer point load doesn't seem to be taken into account at all.

    SI is in its first Draft & will need a LOT of work, the Devs already know this & are working on it. With that said:

    I wouldn't say no to more Textures too, & while trying to Texture stuff like Solid Cube Hull Blocks next to stuff like Ramp Top Blocks's 'Bottom Facing' & such & seeing Textures refuse to align with their same Texture on this Adjacent Block, it's occurred to me to wish that Texture Facings on Individual Sides of Blocks could be Rotated similar to how ya can Rotate the Symbol Orientations so we can Align our Texture Orientations better.

    Being able to rotate textures like that is a brilliant idea.
