While classical music tends to be my go to in my day-to-day, I found that I could not really listen to it in creative. So I turn to a smattering of techno, rap/hip hop, Bassnectar and related material, and possibly even other video game music.

Today (or last night rather) I finally ventured beyond Akua's atmosphere and decided to check out a nearby planet, which turned out to be the Omicron Moon.

Saw a little base and decided to investigate. What I didn't expect was for 4 turrets and at least as many drones to destroy my poor little SV, leaving me stranded on the Moon.

I decided...

I've posted on this subject in the past... a long-distance past lol. However, I do still wonder if HV's and SV's under AI control could ever be a thing. I can see the issues an AI might have navigating terrain in an HV might pose, however, an SV needn't care about such things. We already have CV's flying around on planets, but they're, well, a little quirky aren't they?

I've loved seeing PV's battle it out in a certain game-start - likely my favourite vanilla...

We found a workable solution for uploading images on our forum
From now on you dont use the "Upload a File" button for this anymore



But you use the new "Remote Upload Images"



You add your prictures there with "Add Images" after you done this you press the "Upload" button

Over late, perhaps a month, I'm not sure, I've noticed that my screen will suddenly change focus like I've been sprayed in the eye with an icy mist, I think I was on a cold planet when I first noticed it happening, so I guess I just figured it was a 'feature' (I have a habit of things going haywire in games I play so I tend to ignore most of them)
However, I've recently noticed it happening...

So, I found a crashed Goblin. Great. I landed next to it and Saved. Popping down a Core, I started looting the POI's cargo, several high-end components. Nice!

I go to reclaim a block with the Multi Tool and BOOM the entire POI explodes, nothing left. SI issue. I reload, turn SI off, and place a Core down again. I go to loot and.... it's loads of really basic stuff, no high-end components at all.

I didn't think a POI's cargo could change this way... I mean, a reload...

Like many I suspect, when my main weapon - usually an AR - runs out of ammo, I'll want to switch to a side-arm to finish off an attacker. Now, while this usually is faster than reloading the main weapon, I do find the switch over often getting stuck.

Basically, the current clip runs out on the AR, before the automatic reload triggers, I tap the key / scroll the mouse wheel to select my secondary weapon - usually the pistol. However, despite switching before the...

Drone Bays. I don't really use them. I want to use them, but they're too late game due to their build requirements - Aluminium being the key blocker for me traditionally.

Picture this: Fairly early-game, new base build, starting planet just has the basic resources. Couple of Minigun Turrets and a few Sentries protecting the base. Even at this early-game stage where a Minigun Drone patrolling around my base would be great for suppressing hostile critters it's...

I remember landing on this planet in a Zirax territory. I build a base and while I am building the Zirax launched an all out attack the likes of which I had never seen and haven't seen since.
The troop carriers landed and dropped off hundreds of Zirax soldiers, I had my cap ship near by and proceeded to battle these lil aliens and they damn near took my cap ship out. Funnest NPC battle I ever had, bombers...

I'm making a big ol' spacebase, ring type, and I want it to rotate... slowly, I'm wondering if there's a mechanic already in place to do this, or would putting 4 perhaps 8 very weak engines around it and a leaver/switch to set them all going at the same time so it rotates around it's center, it would only be on whilst occupied, the rotation would look cool from inside.

i have got some free time
i would like to write a bunch of block shape coordinates

recently i have suggested to have A, and V shape blocks (because currently most block shapes are promoting even placement only, not odd)

i have even suggested 1 x 3 x 1 slopes, and their respective transitions

i would like to write all the related coordinates by hand, or by software, and then share it so you can add textures, material definitions, and other stuff to it

however i am not familiar...

For those of you that love to build Space Stations but nearly always have to scale back on your original vision simply because there isn't blocks of the shape or curves not meeting or whatever.

Well I'm wondering about a 'Space station builders pack' DLC with larger set pieces in some cases 'much larger' of a few different designs that can be matched up to existing blocks, so we can make those big doughnut stations and those big Mushroom ones from Star Trek, and allowing...
