Our colleague Gerd Fankhaenel, Space Engineers 2 Design Lead, shares new details about the upcoming Colonization feature:

• The VS2 Update will introduce the base colonization systems and the first Almagest sectors (with more to come later!)
  
• Players will begin their journey as early explorers, completing engineering contracts to repair and build structures that form the foundation for future settlers
  
• In these early stages of development, players can use a fast travel network of “jump lanes” between space stations to move quickly through the Almagest system - but you can also fly freely anywhere without any loading screens
  
• A new map will track colonization progress, display resource distribution, and feature a fog of war to encourage exploration and discovery

Our favorite pastime is browsing through the workshop - we are in love with all the creations our players are constantly sharing.

We can't wait every month to spotlight mods and blueprints that catch our eye and have the potential to make your time in Space Engineers more interesting and unique.

Here is our spotlight for the month of October!

Mother OS by Agentluke

Mother is a general purpose operating system for Space Engineers grids, available as an in-game script. It exposes an intuitive command line interface (CLI), flexible flight control & planning, and an intergrid communication system to massively expand what you can do with your grid(s).

VS2 – Planets & Survival Foundations

One of the small but important things we’re working on is improving how the game communicates with you. For example, we’re adding an onscreen indication of what you mined or grinded - and the exact amounts.



It’s a simple change, but it makes a big difference. The idea is the same as with the Unlock screens I showed in the last dev diary – moments that announce your progression and milestones. These kinds of cues help make the world feel more responsive.



We’re continuing to apply this lesson across the board – better communication from game systems towards the player. The goal is to make sure the game always lets you know what’s happening, without you having to guess or check logs and inventory screens.



VS2 will also introduce the base systems for random encounters. At first, these will be non-dynamic and non-AI – simple handcrafted damaged ships, smaller stations and
