Sadly, there's one problem with that: Fire doesn't burn without oxygen. For the most part, the majority of planets don't have enough oxygen to support fire. It would only work on the starter planet (temperate one, not the arid one. No O2 on that one.) and maybe 1 or 2 others in an entire star system. Smoke on a spaceship? That's just asking for everyone to die of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Having fire on the temperate starter is the whole point. But the devs nixed it by inserting the a/c. Which blows immersion for me and others. Not having fire on an oxygen planet before being able to construct an a/c doesn't flow. We could sit here and go back and forth all night about this but what's done is done. It doesn't change the fact that I have already built a number of fireplaces that have no fire, having no idea what the devs were going to do. They turned out rather nice, too. I lost interest in building any way. At least for the time being. I'm hoping the anniversary release changes that, but, frankly, I doubt it.
Thermal Goggles (Player tool) An upgrade to the Nightvision Goggles. Functions the same way. Added bonus to using thermal goggles (aside from the snazzy red screen color) is that creatures and enemies glow brightly and are visible through walls (not terrain). Certain heat-emitting blocks also glow and are visible through walls, namely Generators, Fuel Tanks, Thrusters, Furnaces and Turrets. Does not function on Lava Planets. Makes it easier to fight enemies in grassy fields and forests as well as determine the number of enemies inside sealed rooms or where to target to take out a generator or fuel tank in a POI.
This doesn't really need its own thread so i'm sticking it here, even though it's a change to an existing block rather than a new one: Minigun Bullets for Minigun Turrets (HV) At present, Minigun bullets are everywhere: They're dropped by drones, found in POI boxes and looted from zirax. They're also only used by the handheld minigun and therefore pretty much useless. My suggestion is simple: Change the ammo for HV minigun turrets from 15mm rounds for minigun rounds. The reasoning behind it is simple; the HV minigun turrets' barrels are smaller than the fixed gatling guns (those use 15mm ammo), being roughly the same size as the player's handheld minigun. There's also the misleading name. Additionally, 15mm ammunition is typically used irl in high-powered anti-materiel rifles (anti-tank) and autocannons. Which doesn't fit the use of HV minigun turrets as effective anti-personel weapons, but basically useless against armor.

To go along with this, it also seems like the HV artillery turret could share ammo with the CV/BA cannon turret (30mm seems a little small for the size of the cannon turret barrel anyway).
HVs and CVs get multiturrets suitable for repair/deconstruction... and mounted mining lasers suitable for mining.... I'd like to see SVs get mounted multi-lasers, for repairing/deconstruction. It'd be nice to be able to make utility SVs to repair or break down structures in a small, agile SV that also would let it happen faster/wider area of effect than a lone turret. Plus, it'd help give SVs more of a role, something they're sort of lacking right now.
Given how the devs keep trying to make HVs attractive, evidently they disagree; SVs are quite versatile already. That said, given that I'd like to see the HV/SV division erased, I'm all for giving SVs deconstruction abilities.
SVs have no role *in orbit* I should have said... planetside, they're still kings of the skies, obviously, but in space, there's nothing an SV can do that a CV can't do better. It'd be nice to have a low-power, small-form-factor alternative. This would give SVs something to do in an orbital playfield that CVs can't do.
Well, it's not the SV's fault that it's not more useful; SVs would be a lot more useful in orbit if CVs didn't behave like overgrown SVs.
For the love of God can we please get more slope shapes! I have these two transitions for the 45-degree blocks: But there is no corner transition for these: The only thing we have is this half-block angle: We are missing the blocks that fit with these: And we are missing the slopes and corner slopes that go with these: Also, I could have sworn we used to have a narrow corner pillar block: I NEED THESE BLOCKS!
For the angled corner slope: It would require new blocks, not ones that fit with that one as they're slab-shaped on top. Placing a block on top would put it above the surface. For the narrow pillar block: We do have it. It's on the lower-left of the shape selection window. Next to the thin round pillar.
Yes! I still want that corner block to be added. Spoiler That narrow pillar block (beam) is still in the game. Spoiler
Yes, these are not the ones we need for a full corner, however we are missing this to go with them: That isn't it. I am talking about one that is in the corner, not centered, and the same width as the "wall" block. I edited the pictures again with thicker lines to show it:
How about you try it in the game and you will find out that it is not centered, it is a corner (beam).
Tarp (SV/HV/CV/BA) It's a tarp! Comes in the same shapes as windows. It's basically a pixel-thick window (pretty much opaque) with a cloth texture. Not airtight, light passes through it, preferrably not affected by structural integrity (can't support weight, but won't collapse). With it's own texture set like other armor, concrete and wood blocks would allow a variety of different designs and materials. Useful as sails on boat-ships (for those that make boats), curtains on base/CV windows, carpets/rugs on floors, banners, awnings, tarp over truss blocks would make a nice "tent" hangar for ships and hovers. Made from Plant Fibers (like the starting tent).
1 - I really want a Recycler device that takes any "component" and returns ingots, and if the component returns another lesser component, it just keeps reducing until ignots are all that are in the Out bin. That deconstructor is just all wishywashy and inconsistent in the way it behaves. 2 - Wishing for a nice device block (physical in the game) that acts as the blueprint factory. Not the virtual building in a single UI panel that comes out of thin air. Add to it, the device actually builds the item block by block visually either next to it, or in a pre-designated 'build zone' marked by another type of block.
