    A likely story. :p

    Honestly fixing it isn't really worth the effort... instead all use of the obsolete blocks should instead eventually go extinct & no longer be a something that happens anymore someday.

    That oughta make for some pretty Carnage. :D

    For the Topic: Doh! Boss Funinator had to Reset the Server... I have to escape the Hell Hole of Omicron-R again. >_<

    Whether it's worth fixing depends on how many of the old blueprints they want to update. I understand a number of their POIs still use obsolete blocks. There may come a point where it's necessary to update them. In any case it sure would make updating really old blueprints a lot easier. :)

    Today I made futuristic version of concrete delivery truck. It works similar to our today's equivalents, mixture of cement is poured into the wooden mold, after the concrete dry, you can remove planks and you have a solid wall.

    As usually with my designs, some internal features are incorporated. Few pictures from under construction phase and the final product.

    What I like about it the most, is bottom cabin placement, which give pilot very good view on working area beneath the ship.

    Kind of annoyed at new HWS rules being retroactively imposed on existing structures right now instead of just waiting for 6.0 wipe. They are now requiring everyone to shrink all existing structures down to class 4 or they will delete them. Redid my space station and 1 of my ships, now having to multitool 9 decks of service tunnels because rounded blocks cost too many tris. :(

    Hi all, first post. Used to play Space Engineers. Dev's ruined it. E is so much better so far. Today I dug an underground cave for an underground base, with built in hanger. You can place blocks ANYWHERE. OMG after Space Engineers this is LITERALLY like moving from North Korea to South Korea. Or at least from North Carolina to South Carolina. But better.

    Oh, weird thing happened. Building an SV I started deleting stuff on the back. So it fell over and is now laying ON ITS REAR END, pointing straight up and I think its wedged in under the hanger door! I can't for the life of me move it without taking the ship apart. I know I could just do a blueprint but that would be cheating. I'm adding weight to the front end but it looks pretty stuck. Friggin hilarious to see though I am easily entertained.

    Finally, I'm thinking of building an SV that acts like a lift/platform that can let me get at blocks underneath. Does anyone have a better idea? I was thinking of using miniguns as the platform because their turrets move. Though I could see a potential problem when the drones attack. So I'll have to turn that off in the control panel.

    Why not look for another server that doesn't have those restrictions in place? There has got to be a few out there.

    If you're ok with playing with a small amount of players then you should give this guy's Server a try. He doesn't have many people on his server but the ships and bases he builds on his server are massive. So I doubt he has many restrictions if any. His space station alone is built close to the size limit of the game and he didn't use a Base core he used a CV core so the Station as big as it can fly. lol
    You have to send him a message to get access to his server. His community is pretty friendly
    Here is his Steam community page if you would like to join his server.

    Here is one of his daily Empyrion videos that releases every morning.

    Thanks to Tyrax . You now have the name of two Servers that doesn't have those type of restrictions that you can switch to if you want. ;) This game has a great community.

    Well... posted a vid of the aftermath of my salvage op of that missile silo.

    Also, a coworker last night pestered me about why I won't buy No Man's Sky, citing how graphically superior it is. What shut him up? I asked him if he can build his own ships in the game (building my own equipment is a big selling point for me). He shut up about the subject after that.

    If NMS and Empyrion had a baby, I'd risk prison to have my way with it.

    As of the time of this Post, when I logged onto the Server there were over 20 Players on it, which then moments later ended up including me myself. :p

    Yep, I asked Funinator about the Size Class thing when the change that'd move the Size Classes to 10 Tiers was Incoming & he said something like "There will be no Size Class Restriction. My Server is a total Badass & will handle it.". I wish I could remember the exact Quote of the Response... my Memory swears to me that it made the RL me grin when I heard it. :D

    Gameplay > Graphics. :)

    Woah, dude... that's NOT clean thinking... :eek: (& if ya were kidding when ya said that, ya need to Flag it as such properly, this is the Internet, where Voice Tone & Body Language & such have no home...)

    The best response from a Server Admin " My Server is total Badass and will handle it" . That is what i want to hear from a Admin . ;)
    Sounds like a great server for Single players who want to play MP>

    Well I'm interested in seeing where Empyrion ends up because we're talking about a game NMS that is further a long in development than Empyrion is. Empyrion is no where near finish with the game AI and it's still in Alpha. So there will be more improvements . Empyrion in Beta might look better than NMS does.

    The Starter Planets & all else with "-R" in their Name Auto-Reset at 10 am every Monday. Also take note that it's been made an intentional challenge getting the Neodymium to escape Starter Worlds with, attempting trade with other Players for a ride off or the Neo to get yourself off is a legit option. There's also a fair few PvE Worlds available for choice for making one's home as well, & PvP is totally optional. :) (When roaming PvP Space, like for example nipping in while in transit between 2 other PvE Worlds, caution vs other Players is advised though.)

    I landed my CV on Skillion and I'm really enjoying the look of this planet. A very SCI FI look. Screenshot (347).png

    Finally found some crystals for my Warp drive. So I guess i'm not stuck here. lol
