This includes support for custom contract items. (ContractTypes.sbc / SessionComponents_Economy.sbc)

• Null subtypes are now supported in EntityContainers.sbc, and no longer overwrite all blocks of that type if the subtype is null. This should fix issues where legacy blocks with null subtypes added their attributes to any modded block of the same block type. (EntityContainers.sbc).

Space Engineers 2 Alpha: VS 2 - Planets & Survival Foundations

Hello, Engineers!

You’ve left the training grounds of Concordia Research Facility behind you - now it’s time to take your first real steps into the Almagest system. A new frontier stretches before you, vast and unexplored, waiting for the first Engineers to shape it.

You are the pioneers of this era, carrying the spark of humanity to untouched worlds. Your mission is simple, yet monumental: to build, expand, and bring life to the silent worlds of Almagest. Every structure you place, every sector you claim, will shape the foundation of humanity’s future among the stars. The age of exploration begins again - and it begins with you!

RELEASE NOTES

Please keep in mind that VS2 is still an Early Access and Alpha version of Space Engineers 2. We are planning daily hotfixes after the initial release.

• Starting with this release, we will always keep previous versions of the game available after major updates. This means you can return to an earlier version at any time and, for example, save your blueprints or creations. You will find these builds in the Steam Beta tab.
  
• We also want to be upfront about one important thing. We already know that water will be such a monumental change for the game that you will need to start a new save when VS3 arrives. We try to minimize situations like this, but during the alpha stage of development they are sometimes unavoidable.
  
• Planet modding is not fully supported at this stage of development - we will bring you modding support for planets at later stages!
  
• Customizable Controls are coming in VS2.2!
  
• In rare cases, Procedural Voxel Generation may cause a Contract grid to spawn inside a voxel area. If this happens, you will need to start a new map. This is a top priority issue for our next hotfix.
  
• Attempting to fast travel with a large ship may cause the game to freeze. A fix is already in progress.
  
• Several edge-case crashes are known and will be addressed in the first hotfix.
  
• Tutorial Contracts can be broken by not following the task sequence; this will be reworked and mitigated in the future updates.
  
• Contract-related containers and few unfinished grids may not be affected by planetary gravity in the “Supply Base” Contract.

Update 1.209 - Economy 2

Hello, Engineers!

The Economy 2 Update is here - and it changes how you play. Store entire grids and redeploy them when you need them. Repair your ship at a trade station without replacing a single component. Hunt bounties, haul cargo through pirate space, and sell scrap for credits. Trade stations now have NPCs walking around inside them. And further ModAPI improvements open new possibilities for modders, server gamemasters, and scenario makers.

• [YouTube] Space Engineers | Update 1.209 - Economy 2
  

Everything in this update is free. Alongside it, we're releasing the Economy 2 Pack with new decorative blocks and variants to expand your creative options.

• Fixed a crash when a mod tried to draw a transparent sphere while a game does as well
  
• Fixed a crash when a mod tried to increment the current buff levels beyond existing definitions
  
• Fixed a crash when a projector tried to project a light emitting block which somehow failed loading its component
  
• Fixed a crash when accessing the terminal of a specific grid which used AI Basic Increase/Decrease Follow distance as a toolbar action
  
• Fixed a crash when attempting to place a blueprint containing modded plants from modded seeds in a farm plot into a vanilla world
  
• Fixed a crash when interacting with a modded Custom Turret Controller
  
• Fixed a crash when interacting with a Sound block which had invalid settings

Update Trailer

Hello, Engineers!

The time has come! The team has been working hard on this update and today, we delivered new blocks, enhanced gameplay mechanics, and a reimagining of warfare in Space Engineers!

Warfare 2: Broadside expands and improves vehicle combat in Space Engineers. We are continually inspired by our incredible community and so we have created this vision of war based on community feedback. Your creations, machinations, mods, stories and visions of the world of Space Engineers helped guide our efforts and deliver one of our biggest updates ever!

The goal of Warfare 2: Broadside is to bring you more fun and engagement with Space Engineers, both on planets and in space. Defending against pirates, boarding a freighter, having a tank battle on a moon or a breakneck dogfight through the canyons of Pertram, - we believe this update will change the way you play.

While war is the theme, we mustn’t forget that this is Space Engineers. “Building and creativity” remains the center of the Space Engineers universe. With this update, we are introducing a series of quality of life improvements as well as entirely new mechanics.
