UPDATE:

Hello, Engineers!

We’ve got some exciting new features coming to Space Engineers, and we thought some of you might like to get your hands -and welders/grinders- on them before they’re added to the game during our next major update.

We’re excited to announce that there will be a public test on Thursday, July 11th, 9 am to Friday, July 12th, 3 pm (UTC), 2019. We might also extend the test over the weekend if things are going smoothly. ːsteamhappyː

Instructions on how to access the public test:

1. Select the game from your library, right click and select properties.
A dialog box with a number of tabs will appear, you’re looking for one that says "publictest".
2. You will see 2 things now, a drop down menu and a text box to enter a beta access code. Enter the password provided here and choose playtest branch from the drop down menu.

We are planning to have 7 servers for this public test; the number of servers will depend on how many engineers suit up for this test.

If you’re not able to participate in this public test it’s all good because we’re planning to have another one soon.

Thanks for reading and have fun!

Hello, Engineers!
It’s time for another major update. We have been very busy since the release of Space Engineers from Early Access. We continued working on the game improvements and in this update we focused on a new feature: Build Planner, and one new block: Small Cryo Pod and on customizable game elements, such as skins, emotes and armor skins.
The Build Planner feature allows players to create a list of blocks or components, which can be automatically transferred into their inventory. It significantly simplifies the gameplay and we are sure that you will appreciate it.

We were blown away by the submissions we received for the Space Engineers Video Competition, so we thought we’d create this compilation to celebrate our community’s passion and talent.
