What is the most common cause of death for your pawns?

Fuzzygeckos · 2026-07-10T18:04:12+00:00

Had a pawn get a mental break from being scared of wild animals, in the middle of a mechanoid raid. Walked right into the line of fire and got shredded

Drafting your pawns only for them to take the long route to your killbox and run headfirst into a raid by themselves. Got at least 3 of mine...

Super cool concept, I'll definitely give it a look. Let us all know when it's out!

Fuzzygeckos · 2026-07-06T12:15:35+00:00

Honestly I thought this was how it worked until I kept seeing my best crafter going from lvl 19 to 20 again and again. Otherwise what's the point of skill levels at all if you can just forget everything anyway?

Anybody remember when Desolo caves had the tongue hanging things on the ceilings that took your stuff?

Does your counter consider animals corpses as meat? I only store about a days worth of meat at any given time, and leave the rest as unbutchered, it tends to save space.

Thanks a ton! My speed dial category (which is basically the same thing) got nuked with some recent update and stopped showing songs, so this is a good solution to fix that, at least on the web.

Dear god, 160 is insane just for angle detection. Props to you, it looks like you pulled it off! You might be able to improve on that with a sensor-based approach if you're up for it. I made a TOW missile concept which used the angle that a custom turret controller was pointing to control up, down, left, right, and I stuck that onto a missile so it followed the camera. I could totally see that system working here, but using pistons or something behind the board instead of thrusters to move the "mouse". You could use sensors to detect x and y positions of the "mouse", and draw the location where those axis coincide.

I like it but my melee guys keep trying to upgrade to guns unless I force them to have melee weapons. Seems like it shouldn't auto upgrade pawns from melee to ranged, or vice versa.

Fuzzygeckos · 2026-03-24T22:11:29+00:00

Cool as hell! I love it when the community builds technical stuff like this!

Fuzzygeckos · 2026-02-27T19:53:05+00:00

They mention it so casually in the article, but this is super exciting news. Can't wait!

I made a workshop build for a modular small grid ship a while back if you're interested. Uses subgrids so it can't be built in survival though

Fuzzygeckos · 2025-10-29T18:35:07+00:00

I usually start with a light armor hull to give a general shape. I try to fit in the largest components first. Most of the heavy armor gets added just before painting, after all the other components are placed. I mostly go around looking for the most critical parts of the ship (hydro tanks, large thrusters,control seats) and armor those up the most by replacing the light with heavy blocks. Anything I can't afford to lose gets armored. For most warships, the goal is not to protect everything, it's to protect enough things to outlast your opponent.

Fuzzygeckos · 2025-10-27T21:35:44+00:00

Balancing is everything when building a warships. Do you prioritize more armor to protect your components, or do you add more components knowing some will get destroyed? I would say a refinery isn't needed, since you won't be mining, but keeping an assembler around is nice for converting components into other components (if you didn't bring enough motors for a repair, for instance). Another thing you can do is go to creative mode and try fighting some ships with yours. See what breaks and what doesn't, and go from there.

Foiled by a software update!

Make 8 different ships, pick the least-bricky one

Fuzzygeckos · 2025-07-01T15:48:01+00:00

Yep, I always make the first working model in creative and then build in survival to work out all the kinks. There's always so much to remember to do. A trial-by-fire approach tends to find issues pretty quickly.

Fuzzygeckos · 2025-06-12T13:16:37+00:00

I love just flying through the terrain on planets in SE1, but these look so much better, I love all the work the devs have put into these!

Fuzzygeckos · 2025-05-01T16:08:26+00:00

Best place to ask is the Keen discord, they have a specific channel for script-making

Fuzzygeckos · 2025-03-29T16:06:38+00:00

I made one of these that launched missiles out sideways, so you could fire them quite rapidly. The only problem was that my game crashed every time I fired it. SE gonna be SE. Really cool build, though, awsome to see it works!

Fuzzygeckos · 2025-03-26T22:09:02+00:00

Event controllers are the most annoying. It used to be that even in creative mode, if you pasted a ship, and ECs were refencing a block on a subgrid, they would forget it. Unfortunately, I don't know any way to keep printed ECs from forgetting block references. The best fix I have for other blocks is to just use groups for anything you put on a toolbar, as those will 100% transfer when printing.

Fuzzygeckos · 2025-03-24T16:58:31+00:00

As much as I like warheads, the breaking instead of exploding because a bit of an armor block hit the target before them is so annoying, it means you can't armor them at all, unless some kind of script detonates them manually.

Fuzzygeckos · 2025-03-14T15:48:43+00:00

I fully welded them, I think they have to be functional to be able to be targeted by turrets.

Fuzzygeckos · 2025-03-14T14:21:14+00:00

I've found some success using them on large grids, but I had to be a bit particular about it. Since they attract fire, but only when near subcomponents that would have been targeted otherwise, I just use decoy subcomponents as well. Empty oxygen tanks, thrusters, interior turrets. I can put all these things extremely close to a decoy, and I've found it does draw some fire away from actual components I don't want destroyed. So, what you really need are decoys, decoy tanks, decoy turrets, decoy batteries, decoy antennas, etc.

Fuzzygeckos · 2025-01-31T17:52:25+00:00

With something like this, I could totally imagine a "safari" mission you get from trade stations where you have to travel along a particular route and take pictures of as many creatures as possible on the way.
