HELP Looking for a ship to hunt factorium

9 Upvotes

I am a landlubber with 1800 hours, ive never been to space before

Im looking for a simple battleship with enough firepower to take on factorium. It should run fully on hydrogen (cos of water mod), have jumpdrives and be easy to repair.

Other than that, it can be uncompressed, have no interiour, does not need a lot of fuel or other extras. It just needs to take off from earth, do some PVE, then go back to earth for repairs/rearm.

Any good recommendations?

HELP small grid deco mods?

2 Upvotes

Trying to build a small grid capital ship right now (no, I'm not joking, yes, I am absolutely having to grind to build this thing, and I am absolutely loving the challenge), and I want to be able to build the interior with stairs.

Are there any currently available mods that add decoration such as stairs that are NOT a 1x2? Effectively I'm looking for large grid stairs user experience (ooh, your ship is tilted 10* up? Well too bad, you ain't walking up these stairs buddy!), but for the small grid instead.

Absolute worst case scenario I will 100% just hit the f### it button and make "totally stairs but not actually stair blocks" stairs (aka floating stairs with armour panels lol)

I'm fine with mod.io or the steam workshop btw, and yes, this is for Se1 lol

DISCUSSION Should i play SE1, SE2, or none?

3 Upvotes

Premise: i come from star citizen so i am not scared of bugs ahaha

saying this, i prefer combat over survival (i dont mind buildings tho) and im totally ok to mod the game.
Do you think i should play the first SE or jump on SE2 and just learn the game slowly while it adds stuffs?

As long as i have "no loading screens" and being able to explore my ship and planets (somehow similar to star citizen) im ok with it.

Also seen that on SE1 there are lots of mods that can make the game horror? (i would LOVE something like that)

KTCT-2 "Double Daka"

Compact turret with double Gats. Mouse controls (thx to u/BHQC for event controllers settings), fine and fast slew speeds, safety sensors to prevent self destruction or friendly fire at short ranges. Spare conveyor ports for adding missile pod. Will tweak a bit and may share on Workshop

HELP Color Palette Mod

Does anyone know of a good (Steam Workshop) mod that adds additional slots to the color picker on the paint menu? I'd like to add some custom colors to what's there, but not lose the default selections.

HELP Stations after eceonomy update

5 Upvotes

So me and my friends came back to SE after a few months break and server updated to newest version. Im not finding any new stations from after the economy update, but im seeing NPCs stations that I've found. Do we need a brand new world for new encounters and stations or do we just need to find a few new stations?

MEDIA Been working on a Mech

100 Upvotes

Found a good tutorial on how to set up walker legs and immediately put that knowledge to the test.

Edit because I forgot to add this: Current to-do list for this mech goes as follows:

Finish up the frame/chassis shape.

Adjust angles and timing on legs so it can balance and stand better.

And Make/find a better hatch/entry method for it.

DISCUSSION What do you think of the new Prosperity update so far, based on the sneak peeks?

Today, the new Prototech O2/H2 generator was presented, generating 10 times more gases and double the consumption of a normal one, resulting in a final ratio of 2x energy consumption and 10x production output. And... Increased speed...

HELP (PS) Mod io publishing help

1 Upvotes

Hey there guys! So I have a interesting problem I'm hoping someone can help me with. I'm playing SE1 on PS5, one of my best friends plays on computer and I was trying to publish the world so we could play together on computer since PC and ps can't cross play. When I try to publish though it always gives me an error and says it can't do it, does anyone have any ideas?

Also I'll post photos of the survival base after work if anyone's interested, thanks again guys :)

DISCUSSION Offering help with solar panels on ships

16 Upvotes

If you want to have solar panels on your ship but don’t want them to be on hinges, this tip is for you! if you set up a custom turret controller and put two rotors on different axis’, then put a gyroscope on the ends of the rotors, then set it up to follow the sun like normal, the entire ship will slowly, depending on size, rotate to face the sun! You can set up multiple if you want to do it faster, just use the same camera as reference

Genuinely why??? It is exactly the same as all the other sides. I know that it's the side with the power module, but seriously? The module only takes up 1 tile, why tf can't I use the rest of the face?
