    Just got reminded of something I was used to work around...

    Cant toggle vents by switches, nor forcefields.
    Would be pretty cool!

    Oh... and more different sizes of forcefields...
    ...and larger ones too, please! (see my previous post, bottom, 1 page earlier)

    Yes, that section had to be that long - because of the gravity generator of the landing pad.
    That one has also a switch, in case one has a cv parked there with grow plots.
    The overlaping section is that bridge, and my team mate already breaks his legs very often at 0.7g on a planet, I dont want to confuse him with 2g in space - within the 'outside' "living area".

    That's something I wanted for a while.
    Two of my builds, the Janus medium and heavy carriers, have an open-air pressurized landing pad on the roof.
    I have wanted to turn off the O2 there using a motion sensor for a long time.

    I wouldn't mind a half-height variant of "Wall Edge Round".

    Some kind of computer block with an integration of ASTICs scripting mod. Would be nice. It should then allow to manage all your scripts for a grid and replace the lcds that are currently used for the scripting.

    We know how the boarding ramp lifts You up when You step on it and close it...
    I think we'll all love to have that, but vertical, like an elevator, different widths, and heights...
    Tried to find a picture or something, but don't know what to write and Google gives me BS...

    - Stealth Generator

    - Unique Blocks with better or varied stats, unique weapons, unique items, found in wrecks and enemy bases and stuff
    , game is kinda like freelancer, and freelancer had unique items, uniques like RPGs have

    - more variants that are only uncommon / rare drops lootable, cant craft them

    - flamethrower / plasma torch or something
    - "melee" weapons, ramming weapons, like the tree grinder but better, spikes, drills, saws
    - mines, traps that you place and blow up
    - bombs for on planet dropping
    - more ship weapon variants

    For a full-fledged design of structures, flat elements of zero thickness and various shapes are required or templates in the paint and texture menu

    A triangle version of Ramp Round Connector A and especially B would be VERY useful for transitioning between half-height ramp and ramp angle corners. B is almost like an asymmetric slanted version of Corner Half B, thus you might call them Ramp Half A and B and rename the existing Ramp Half A and B connectors to Ramp Cube Half A and B. Or, you could just call them Ramp Half Connector A and B and not change the others.

    Example: (https://imgur.com/a/NbeU1id and https://imgur.com/a/FuFORWz)

    Imagine those blocks, but with the round part clipped off and instead a triangular (ramp) shape.

    45 degree forcefield squares and maybe some corner types would be nice.

    Negative. It is missing, and it makes me sad.

    There is one block I always need but it doesn't exist, a Ramp C to Ramp C Medium connector both in left and right variants please. Ramp Connector B does not work as it connects perpendicular rather than parallel. Similar in shape to the Sliced Corner D but with one of the z=1m vertices lowered to 0m.

    Can you add offcenter variants of the current decorative fake plants? Like one off to the side, and one in a corner.

    • Need Ramp and Shutter door options. Most of the time i want a 1 x something
    but the only option is 1 x 1 so i have to use 6 to cover a line of devices instead of a single 1 x 6

    • Frameless window option for SV so seemless glass can be created

    Middle LCD Projector … The bright green color can easily be changed by using a different hex color value.
    Code:
    <align=center>
    <size=150><color=#00FF00>☢</color></size></align>

    Right LCD Projector … The extra lines are for vertical alignment.
    Code:
    <align=center>
    
    
    <size=150><sprite=18></size></align>
