⚠️ The issue with Space Engineers 2 ModSDK Tools not showing up in Steam libraries has been resolved!
Please check your Steam library – the tools should now be visible and ready to use!
Stability
- Fixed a crash when shooting at a Conveyor T-Junction 0.5 m
- Fixed a crash when trying to open a port of a modded block missing a Conveyor component
- Fixed crashes when viewing the detail screen of a Workshop item
Functional
- Fixed an issue where pressing ESC did not display a warning message when adding or removing mods from a saved game
- Fixed an issue where the Blueprint Details screen showed an old thumbnail after re-publishing
- Fixed an issue where replacing a published blueprint did not work
- Modding: Scripting and code APIs are not included yet, but they’ll be released later as development progresses.
- Color picker will be included in undo-redo for paint gun in a future update
- After entering a cockpit for the first time after starting the game, the character may peek through the cockpit – this will be fixed in an upcoming update.
- Keyboard and mouse controls are not customizable yet, but they will be!
- Toolbar block groups and sizes (block selection via R key) are a temporary mechanism and will be redesigned in a near update.
- We’re aware of incompatibility at launch of Space Engineers 2 on Intel Arc A-Series and Core Ultra Series 1 built-in Arc GPUs. We are working with Intel to enable the game experience and will provide relevant updates as development progresses.
- We are solving ship movement edge cases (jittering in slow speeds or too many gyros present)
- Performance
- Performance optimization is ongoing. For Alpha release, we’re targeting 16x Red Ship grids at 60 FPS on recommended hardware.
- Autosave may cause brief lags during gameplay.
- Performance optimizations of ship collisions and destruction are ongoing, so it won’t be lag-free at this moment. We will be continuously improving it in the following updates.
- PCU values per block may appear higher compared to Space Engineers 1, reflecting SE2’s increased detail and more precise performance measurements. While the current total PCU limit is set at 400,000 in VS1, we plan to raise this threshold in future updates as we implement scheduled optimization improvements.
- Space Engineers 2 Workshop: Displaying Steam Workshop Collections in-game is planned. We are working on better handling when Steam is offline.
- The current GUI (Graphical User Interface) and HUD (Heads-Up Display) are works in progress. Our team is prioritizing core functionality first. Once we’ve confirmed all features are working as intended, we’ll enhance the visual design and overall aesthetics.
- Some blocks are decorative-only for now (for example, the Assembler is present but cannot produce components)
- The inventory system will be implemented in a future update
- Fracture models will receive additional visual updates in future versions.
- The paint tool’s limited palette is temporary; future updates will include RGB/HSV color settings and custom palettes.
- Work on enhanced sound effects is ongoing
- The Alpha releases in English language, more localizations will follow
- Tutorials will be added closer to the end of development.
