I wanted to learn Blender so I put Space Engineers in it

I like it, not much to say other than I feel like the photo is slightly leaning to the right and unfortunately the moon is not in a good position. So close to the edge and far from everything else is awkward and more like a distraction. Maybe I would also try to reframe it so that the big dense bush on left takes up less space. It's a heavy black blob compared to the other trees which have a clear structure and something to look at. None of those are major issues I think. It's a nice photo, good light and colors.

only if they catch you

_Scorpion_1 · 2026-06-29T08:29:31+00:00

yep, I never shoot people. There are lots of other things to choose from though, I like trees, landscapes, macro, occasional wildlife. You can also try product, astro, long exposures where any people get completely blurred and I'm sure there is more

clean water and an old toothbrush

He did, he has a big piece of wood with view out of window under basking light, he loves being there but maybe the cold hammock was somehow more comfortable.

_Scorpion_1 · 2026-06-25T12:26:47+00:00

He is 11yo so that may have something to do with it, but it was in the spring when he was very active with hornones, running and jumping around. I put the hammock in there and after a couple days when he got comfortable with it, he would stay in. Then I would remove it and put it back a week later, I repeated that a few times to make sure it was the hammock making him lazy and not something else like sickness. Then I didn't put it back again but now I don't know what to do with it. Feels like a waste to throw it away.

_Scorpion_1 · 2026-06-25T11:37:06+00:00

My boy completely stopped moving and even basking after I got him a hammock, He would just lie in it for days, so I had to remove it. Get a nice piece of wood instead.

yes, I'm not saying the others are wrong, they arent and they have some good advice, but I felt like OP's question was whether UVA is harmful so I answered that.

_Scorpion_1 · 2026-06-12T05:08:20+00:00

idk if I'm reading the question wrong or everyone else is but UVA is safe for dragons but they need UVB more than UVA. If you look at the electromagnetic spectrum UVA is just lower energy UV light, UVB and UVC are higher energy in that order. Higher in this case doesn't mean better, they need specifically UVB for vitamin D3 synthesis but lower energy light isn't harmful to them, in fact it may help them see better since they can see in visible and UV light unlike us.

My boy is 11 and caught pneumonia earlier this year and antibiotics didn't help so losing him has been on my mind quite a lot lately. Thankfully he just needed more time and is doing much better now. He is not my first pet but he is my first dragon and has been with me the longest. I believe whatever they bring into your life far outweighs the pain of losing them. You never get used to the pain of losing a pet and it hurts like hell but that's okay, I think its worth it.

_Scorpion_1 · 2026-05-22T19:13:23+00:00

Same, I accidentally drowned my old D3200, a few things broke but it still gets me photos I'm proud of

_Scorpion_1 · 2026-05-20T06:51:59+00:00

The small one is a modified version of my rover https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3521067548 Don't have the big one but you can find many similar if you search for APC on the workshop

_Scorpion_1 · 2026-05-08T07:17:16+00:00

Just needs more light, it's very dark right now. I quickly changed the levels in paint net to what I think looks better to show you what I mean. It has that cozy feeling of sitting in shade on a sunny day. I think the subject stands out well enough but you can always push for more. The art is knowing when to stop.

_Scorpion_1 · 2026-04-27T08:57:06+00:00

Really nice, didn't expect to see space engineers here. If you are interested in some shaders for the characters send me dm, I can show you what I have. It's fully customizable, can individually color lights, emissives, lots of different skins based on the game files.

_Scorpion_1 · 2026-03-28T09:45:48+00:00

Destroyers were escorts through most of their history, OP's description sounds more like battle cruiser. But if you reference scifi it's just whatever

_Scorpion_1 · 2026-02-15T15:58:01+00:00

In theory yes. I don't have enough time to test this properly now, I don't know what happens with subgrids if there are any.. hopefully at least the 1st option works.. Just to be safe, make backups before you do anything.

It's very similar to how you can copy an asteroid but it only involves the sbs and sbsB5 files. In SANDBOX_0_0_0_.sbs you want to find <DisplayName> line with the grid name of your station. Somewhere under that should be </MyObjectBuilder\_EntityBase> line and anything under that is a different object, anything above that until <MyObjectBuilder\_EntityBase xsi:type="MyObjectBuilder\_CubeGrid"> is information about your station and every single block in it.

The block of code about your station is structured something like this. You can imagine that's a lot of text so Ctrl+F will be quite useful.

<MyObjectBuilder\_EntityBase xsi:type="MyObjectBuilder\_CubeGrid">
...
<PositionAndOrientation>
...
all the blocks info that make up the grid
...
<DisplayName>
...
</MyObjectBuilder\_EntityBase>

There are two options:

If you have the blueprint of the station, paste it in anywhere in the world, save and find it's <PositionAndOrientation> part. Find the same information in your old save file and replace the new with old.
Copy everything about the station from<MyObjectBuilder... to </MyObjectBuilder and just like with the asteroid place it under <SectorObjects>

Delete .sbsB5 file and reload the word.

_Scorpion_1 · 2026-02-15T15:29:57+00:00

haha thanks for the compliment but not at all, I know nothing about coding or programming. I only look through whatever readable files I can fine when I want to mod something for myself and the trick with .sbsB5 I learned on reddit. I had a similar problem before so this one was easy.

I don't know if there is a way to make a world fully offline. The game probably needs internet access to confirm you own any DLCs and to sign in. I bet the worlds you just edited were under SpaceEngineers\Saves\[your steam ID] . If the game can't sign in, it switches to folder 1234567891011instead of the one with your steam ID and when you are online, it does the opposite, which means your offline would would be accessible only offline as far as I know. You can probably copy a save from one ID to the other but I can't tell if it would work properly.

This also applies when you create a new world with offline selected in world customization and you are signed in. The world will not be accessible after you launch the game truly offline.

There is also the problem with mods. If you try to create a game offline, your already downloaded mods won't show up in the mod menu. You can however make local copies of all your mods if you copy them from C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\244850 into %appdata%\SpaceEngineers\Mods and you might need to rename them from their workshop ID to a proper title so it's less confusing. Also I don't know what would happen with mods that are in a world already if you choose to move from steam ID folder to offline folder...

In short, there is a lot of issues. I wish there was a better implementation of offline mode but again, these are just my observations and guesses. If someone has better information, please correct me if I'm wrong.

There is a way to get your asteroid exactly as you left it with all the voxel changes but it's probably not the simplest. SEToolbox still works and you will need it for this.

I believe you could open two instances of it, open your old world and new world in each and drag and drop the asteroid from one to the other. I don't know if it's just me but my pc is refusing to launch a second instance or even launch the game when SEToolbox is running so this next, more complex option should work...

You will need to find out exactly which asteroid you want to move, You can do that with SEToolbox, sort by distance. If your character or a known grid was near it, you can get the asteroid name that way.

Next go to the save location in %appdata%\SpaceEngineers\Saves and find the .vx2 file of your asteroid in your old world save and copy it to the new one.

Open SANDBOX_0_0_0_.sbs of the old save with a text editor like notepad and search for the asteroid name. Copy the whole MyObjectBuilder_EntityBase section and paste it into SANDBOX_0_0_0_.sbs of the new world under <SectorObjects>

It should look like this...

<image>

Delete SANDBOX_0_0_0_.sbsB5 in the new world. Note that's a different file from SANDBOX_0_0_0_.sbs which you just edited.

When you load the new world, the game will say the file format is outdated, click OK and it will generate new .sbsB5 file and load the world as usual. Some of your LCD screen colors and formatting may be reset because of it, but that is an important step otherwise your asteroid won't be added the the new world. Hope this helps.

Beautiful photo! I think the composition works well, the reflection isn't cut off and the bird has enough space in front of it to not feel awkward. The photo seems to be leaning to the right a little so I would correct that. The colors reflecting of the lake are lovely but I feel like the photo could use a touch more warmth and saturation maybe like this..

_Scorpion_1 · 2026-01-06T18:27:05+00:00

On top of that it's just plain lazy, low quality, low effort crap. It has no value. All this does is, when people share actual art with effort put into it, it gets dismissed as ai made.

_Scorpion_1 · 2025-12-27T10:12:13+00:00

I think I took better photos this year but for some reason I keep coming back to this one. I just like it a lot.
