Conceptually limited resources are cool, but they are too rare then. A good system needs to last long enough to justify setting up shop.

If you want an example of the technical feasibility of rounding look no further than Landmark (running on the voxelfarm engine). That engine is a full-time job for a team in its own right though, and it would look very weird in starmade without heavy customization. But it wouldn't require a...

This is one area Space Engineers got it better. Shape and color are choices while constructing, not crafting, and have proportional strength and material cost to their volume. I won't say they should go out and copy, but it's one of the first mods I'm going to make when we get the API if you...

I want to make it very clear I am in no way knocking Starmade. I have found it to be an exceptionally well made game for what it is and am satisfied with the artistic style. But it is not significantly computationally intensive to add shaping to voxel games, although it is devilishly...

Eventually, I'd love to see a player "fit" with more suit variation, weapons, etc. The ship core itself I'm not fond of at all tbh, it could eventually be replaced with bridges and cockpits.

And here I am believing the opposite, diagonals shouldn't count as connected at all.

I think we should go the other way. Proportional health, mass, and material cost to their volume.

I think this falls under the category of let us create cosmetic block variations. Which I hope happens eventually.

RBG light blocks (possibly with a material cost of all colors combined) with a text value input would be amazing and balanced as an "advanced light" block.

Mildly off-topic: this reminds me, there really needs to be a "continuous activation" logic block. On topic: that doesn't really help the problem that the movement is staggered. I understand the goal is base functionality first, but we are literally talking about the wheel here. Rails is...

A no logic infinite degree (360 self repeating) rotation rail block. Everyone is making spinny bits with the 90 degree turns and logic, which is both jerky and overcomplicated. Seems like a low cost high value addition. Bearing pivots (turrets that are not locked in place without input) would...

Awesome.

You want to make planets valuable through a resource pump. I disagree strongly. In fact, I believe the far simpler solution is just have resources less regenerative, not more.

"Planet-goo" won't promote conflict, it will simply turn the game into haves and have-nots.

Weapon grouping in general needs a total rework. It gets too wonky too fast.
