[td]Exploration Fortification by MAMPF(GER)
Honestly, Vanilla never really made me want to visit every planet, but now it’s a must — and it actually feels like real progression. Every planet has new ores, and you need all of them. They all come with their own dangers, which naturally creates different tech tiers and progression paths.[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]

[/td]
[td]Splitstream Framework by MAMPF(GER)
Jump as a fleet. One ship carries the jump drive, the others come along: in formation, on the same vector, without a drive of their own. The name says what happens: the fleet splits the carrier's jump and rides its stream.[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]
[/td]
[td]Projector+ API by Master-Control-Program
A lightweight script extender that gives Programmable Blocks direct access to Projector and Console Block functions.[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]

Greetings, Engineers!
This month, we’re taking a look at some of the work happening behind the scenes to make the world of Space Engineers feel more alive.
NPCs are an important part of that goal, and our team has been hard at work improving their ability to navigate complex environments while maintaining stability. In this month’s preview video, you’ll see NPCs pathfinding across grids that are actively moving and rotating in space, showcasing their ability to operate smoothly and correctly as conditions change around them. This is an exciting step toward bringing more dynamic encounters to your worlds.
Each day, as progress across various systems moves forward, we’re growing more and more excited about what our upcoming Warfare 3 update will bring to Space Engineers. We can’t wait to show you more as development continues!

Hello, Engineers!
Apparently, the Factorum have not shown us everything they have been hiding.
New rumors are spreading through the void: strange signals and valuable Prototech waiting for any engineer bold enough to go after it. Of course, that means some of you are already plotting the fastest way in - and the most explosive way out.
A new Factorum Global Encounter has been added into your worlds. Track it down, break through their defenses, and see what secrets you can bring back in one piece. As always, getting your hands on it will not be as simple as grinding down a few blocks and flying home.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4835530/Space_Engineers__Prosperity_Pack/
[previewyoutube=0IxXS_zL39w;full][/previewyoutube]
Hello, Engineers!
The Prosperity Update makes Space Engineers feel more alive, useful, and rewarding: better economy services, safer grid recovery, and more ways to build the kind of base, station, or ship that feels great.
Explore a new Factorum encounter and hunt down the new Prototech O2/H2 Generator, track missing ships with the new Ping Grid button, and enjoy improvements to Projector, Contracts, the Services Terminal and economy systems.
We’ve also added a small grid Flat Collector - a handy new block for all the farmers among you.
If you own Space Engineers, everything below is yours - no extra purchase needed.
Precision deployment is getting a useful improvement too. You can now set the Precision Mode marker to your current character position, making it much easier to bring a stored grid back exactly where you need it. Less guessing, less nudging, fewer “almost perfect” deployments.
Repair, salvage, and storage rules have also been tightened up. Grids with hostile blocks attached are now handled more carefully, helping prevent cases where players could bypass hacking or ownership rules through station services. Modders and scenario creators also get more flexibility, including new options for enabling repair and salvage services on player-made grids.
Player stores also have a new option to opt out of Item Search. This gives shop owners more control over how their listings appear, especially if they want to run a more private store, keep certain offers local, or avoid cluttering global search results. Your store can still exist and function normally - it just does not have to advertise every listing to everyone through Item Search.
We’ve also improved some of the wording around Store Blocks and Market Search, making listings and search behavior easier to understand.
Overall, these changes should make Economy 2 feel more reliable in day-to-day play - whether you are storing a hauler, recovering a damaged ship, running a server, or building a custom scenario.
Wheel Propulsion Overrides have been adjusted for consistency: forward now means forward and backward now means backward across all wheels. Existing builds using Propulsion Override may need adjustment, but new builds should be easier to configure for desired results.

Hello, Engineers!
Space Engineers 2 - VS2.3: “Drive, Automate & Detonate” is here, bringing the Wheels & Hinges, wind physics, and core automation tools (Timer, Sensor, Event Controller) to the game!
This update also expands exploration with new colonization stages and Endless Encounters, while introducing foundational Reworks to Survival progression and Ore Distribution.

➡️ Full Update Info: 
The Factorum is back! The upcoming Prosperity Update features a brand-new Factorum Encounter... but this one comes with a twist!
Brute force alone won’t win this fight. Be careful, pay attention, and adapt - if you want the Prototech inside, you’ll need to think like an Engineer.
[previewyoutube=4_IYATmDKCE;full][/previewyoutube]
1.210 also features many new blocks as well as a bunch of quality of life improvements and bug fixes. We can’t wait to see how you’ll use these new blocks to improve your existing builds, and how they may inspire you to build something new.
See you Soon™, Engineers!

After that, we are already planning Space Engineers major update 211: Warfare 3 for Q4 2026. I will share more details when we are ready, but I wanted to make one thing clear: Space Engineers 1 is still very much alive!
