Jetpack Enemy Archetype
For all of you waiting for tougher opponents – in the next Space Engineers 2 update, the Renegades and Boatmen will get their hands on jetpack technology.
Of course, they did not leave the jetpacks exactly as they found them. The Renegades and Boatmen reverse-engineered and modified them, removing a few “unnecessary” safety features along the way.
Jetpack enemies will be much tougher than their ground-based counterparts, but the jetpack itself will also be their weak point. Put a few rounds into it and they may start regretting all those wires, tubes, and safety systems they left on the workbench.
More Ores Reworked
We are also continuing the ore visual rework. Chromium, Lead, and Magnesium are next, making them easier to recognize while exploring and mining.

Holiday Cheer Event
The holidays are coming, and this year we want to bring some of your creations directly into Space Engineers and Space Engineers 2.
Send us your best winter and Christmas-themed screenshots from either game at community@keenswh.com – snowy bases, festive ships, decorated stations, or anything else that captures the holiday spirit.
We’ll select our favorites and feature them in a special video on our YouTube channel during the holiday season, helping spread a little Christmas cheer across both games.
So get building, decorating, and screenshotting – we can’t wait to see what you create.
