What are your favourite mods for Space Engineers? Let me know!

[jemoyy]

There is also a cool mod for hardcore players called "Realistic Thrusters", with this mod thrusters generate thrust not at the center of mass like in vanilla, but at the position of the thruster, so you would have to balance your aircraft and thrusters before you would be able to fly. I always combine this mod with an aerodynamic physics mod to make it feel more realistic to fly an aircraft :-)

[therealbahamut]

Improvised engineering: shoulda taken that cue from Skyrim long ago.
Button pad: WTF HOW THAT IS SO COOL
Eli's holo hud and FSD supercruise: Frontier Development would like a word with you!

[JHamby]

I'm the creator of Deflector Shields, thank you so much for featuring Deflector Shields. I'm truly honored.

[mrmirchiTheCodGuy]

The steam workshop search algorithm is so bad, and I can almost never find good mods, so thanks for these videos!

[wldchrstphr]

Deflector Shields is my favorite shield mod. While the Energy Shields mod is more popular, it is less balanced, and becomes an overpowered ramming weapon, or makes ships completely untouchable. With the recent updates, Deflector Shields is far better, and works well with weaponcore mods.

The Consolidated Armament mods are the best weapon mods, and they also have a non-weaponcore version of their guns.

[wailfulcrab]

My favourite mod is Tether Mod, that allow you to connect 2 grids with a rope-like tether (from another mod, Harpoon) and allow for power transfer. You can use it to create cool power lines between bases or charge your rovers more easily. Unfortunately it never worked in multiplayer.

14:00 that hud is just Elite Dangerous lol

[Spoon]

The Space Engineers modding community is such a sleeper group. Like some of these mods are genuinely *so good.*
As someone with (very limited) programming knowledge, it blows my mind that someone could *mod in*, even basic aerodynamics, to SE *as a hobby.* (There's also hydrodynamics too lmao)
There's been goated mods for *A LONG TIME* too, like since 2015 iirc. (I cannot believe I've been playing this game that long and still suck at building)

[righty]

I'm glad you enjoyed the easy-to-pronounce™ name from my mod
I'd also love to see a tank battle like the one you did when testing out the aerodynamic mod, that'd be awesome!

[tackytrooper]

I never knew the water mod could change texture. Seems like a great way to do Iron Lung-themed playthroughs.

[TubeTAG]

I'm impressed at your restraint. You showed shealth tech, shields, hyper drives... But not a single energy weapon mod!

[minersubmarine]

Eli’s holo hud would be awesome as a variant for the projector table

[pavelsvacha]

Deflector shields is probably my favorite mod as it makes Energy shields more convenient and i hate repairing ships.

[Kidozy]

Eli Dang's Holo hud is straight out of Elite: Dangerous

[Themanmatt]

Button Pad is one of my absolute favorites. I typically build small grids but large sized, and buttons become very important for function and asthetics.. using this cuts down the amount of button space needed and its AMAZING! Shout out to the creator for adding controller buttons for me when I asked just after the mod released! Only when "playing", I still use keyboard and mouse for building of course, but it's so easy to use, looks very sleek, and I love being able to see what the button will do without needing extra screens, it's a godsend! I also love using the water mod, I find building large boats that work properly and can be tossed about without any thrusters etc to stabilize, means you better build it correctly so it doesn't tip over in rough seas and storms. Very tricky but when you have a small grid ship roughly the size of a battleship or large yacht float with numerous levels, smaller craft aboard etc and always rights itself.. very satisfying. Maybe I will post some of my builds some time if there is any interest? It is hard to find any good boats for the current water mod, most seem to be from when it used tanks for floatation vs pressurizing interior.

13:45 it is actually inspired by elite dangerous but the fact it was translated into space engineers so easily is too cool 😅

[soldeer]

Rotary airlocks, full block air vents, build vision v3 and air leak

[TrueWhiteKnight]

i have been actively using all of these mods for a while now except the FSD Supercruise and the Overclocking Control System which until a few moments ago i had no idea existed, but now they are part of my permanent collection. thanks Zer0

A couple classic mods I enjoy and am happy still works are the scaffolding mod and the mining chutes mod. The scaffolding mod is exactly what you'd think, just adds a bunch of blocks used for scaffolding that look really good, and work really well. The mining chutes mod lets you build trenches that ores can roll through. It's an interesting mod that adds an option for ore collection for things like hand drill mining a hill side or if you turn off auto collection for your drills and you need to let the stones collect. It also includes a roll cage you can get into and ride the chutes
