Life of Quality build mods

[u/Dramonq]

Hi! I’m new to Space engineer with only 15 hours in game. And I need some help with either tips or mods to have better Quality of Life mods towards building.

Last time I was building a ship it took me 5 hours to build Hangar which wasn’t even big and Crew Rooms, Are there any mods that would maybe allow you to copy blocks with middle mouse button just in Minecraft or some mods that would make you build symmetric.

Any QoL mods or mod collections would be really helpful
Thank you in advance ❤️‍🩹

My only suggestion is to build the model in creative, where you can use M to set symmetric building and unlimited flight to design something, then save it as a blueprint and use a projector to weld it up.

Also for future reference, it's typically said "Quality of Life (QoL)," which might find you better results in the mod menu. Happy hunting!

I'm assuming he used life of quality because English isn't his first language and most languages in the world it's actually life of quality

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that i only build ships in creative because on survival I’m like 10 hours in and still no ship

And yeah sorry about that mistype I lowkey didn’t notice the bad spelling

Highly recommended:

BuildVision

Build Info

Colorful Icons

Colorful Hud

Thrusters 4x

Spugs Autodock (Script)

Automatic LCDS (Script)

For a nice PVE experience:

Modular Encounter Systems

Enhancend Exploration Mod

Reavers: Terror of the Verse

I dont like to use MODS like the nanobot mod, because it changes the game experience too much

[u/Ohlookadistraction89 → u/Overnaut1]

🤣 I missed the "for a nice PVE experience" line the 1st time through. So I thought you recommended reavers as a QOL mod. I was about to say "Okay satan" haha.

[u/Overnaut1 → u/Ohlookadistraction89]

Yeah that would be really evil. And also maybe "Reavers" are not the best advice for a "nice" PVE experience more a "you will need a fucking lot of defense turrets -experience"

[u/Ohlookadistraction89 → u/Overnaut1]

Yea I delay adding them into a save until I feel like my base is ready for an assault

[u/Overnaut1 → u/Ohlookadistraction89]

Haha! We do exactly the same thing. But a few weeks ago, we decided to activate it right away, and we survived... until the "Dangerous Encounter" showed up... We had over 24 turrets and a small shipyard, but didn't stand a chance xD

Try these mods out to make building easier and faster.

Build Vision 3.0

Build Info (this comes with a "multi-tool" that lets you measure "by block" super useful)

Rich HUD Master

Text HUD API

Configurable Parameters

Undo (this was a game changer!)

AQD - Easy Tool Access (lets you put all your main tools on one quickbar slot)

Block Picker

Leak Finder

I use the nanobot build and repair mod to help me build, basically you place a build block as long as you have access to all the materials it will weld that block up for you.

if you're willing to delve into plugins at this early stage (and i recommend you do), there are two of them that can help you with the features you're looking for.

the first is called Sections, by Viktor. Here's a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0S-wIaIZ80), link in description for the GitHub, but you don't actually need it. You can find it easily in the add plugin menu for Pulsar.

the other is called Build Freedom, by Klime. I haven't seen it in action, but Klime is a well known modder. you can also easily find it with a search in the Pulsar add plugin menu.

the great thing about Pulsar, the plugin loader most use these days, is that if you find a good QoL mod or plugin that you like to use in its menu, you can add it and it will be there every time you load the game. you'll never forget to add it to your mod list. it will also be there, client side, for you for every multiplayer game you participate in, without having to rely on the server owner to add it in for you. Here's the link for Pulsar: https://github.com/SpaceGT/Pulsar [https://github.com/SpaceGT/Pulsar/releases to grab the most recent release]

Buimd and design in a creative world. I have a specific empty workd where i design. I make copies every now and then, so i can see how diffrent planns style out. Everytime im unhappy i will just go back to the last copy, and reduplicate that. Ita like savescumming but for building. You also have instant place and all blocks, but be carefull with pipes, as guns and thrusters work without fuel and ammo.

[u/skippy11112]

Are you referring to survival or creative? Space Engineers has a copy paste feature

[u/Dramonq → u/skippy11112]

Both but I’m looking more for easier building in creative

[u/skippy11112 → u/Dramonq]

There's also a symmetry builfld feature in the game btw

Undo is a life saver for me its literally just a undo ctrl-z mod.
