      Making Mining interesting

      It seems mining will be more varied in the future, but if the core mechanics won't be changed, it still won't be a lot more interesting. Careful hand mining as a new game mechanic seems to be on point, but hardly enough on its own. Similar games often struggle with this issue. Even Minecraft...

      StarMade Devblog - Endgame Document Pt. 3

      Sounds good, but even I find really hard to collect ideas on the forum for my upcoming games, because for every unique idea there are dozens of "debates". Every now and then I come back to read about the updates, the new suggestions and the reactions. I hardly ever comment, because I don't want...

      Renewable Resources from Planets: Core Drilling and Plant Farming

      Why would you ruin the planet if you can mine the resources close to the surface a billion times before they vanish? The mantle extractors wouldn't prevent ruining the planet, only the complete removal of resources from a planet would prevent ruining it. With mantle extractors the resources...

      Renewable Resources from Planets: Core Drilling and Plant Farming

      Great idea, but I don't see why do you need to mine the core itself. If the concept is to make the mining procedure longer to motivate the building of drills and mining machines, why would we need a pseudo-resource when we already have everything we need. Players are abandoning planets, because...

      StarMade - Devblog May 8th 2017

      I would like to see that too, like a shipwreck scenario, but honestly it would be a little strange to have a universe full of Space Robinsons, and I think we already saw a lot of games like that. What about starting on an improved trade station, that has plenty of opportunities for new...

      Paint, modules and another editting tools

      I prefer the Robocraft paint gun. If you have that color you can repaint any block to that color. It makes writing or drawing on the hull simple and fun.

      Yesss, spotlights for asteroid miner ships! Or at least illuminating salvage beams.

      Weapon/Shield/Power Tiers - Fighters Make a Comeback

      As far as I know right know you can't do anything like that. I tried as well. The blockBehaviorConfig.xml have everything what you need for that, but you can't add new blocks. The problem is that every block has its own unique tag, instead of just the block categories, even if their inner tags...

      Display module networks

      First step: faction news on displays The first time I made a public faction I immediately posted some news for some role-play. To make it more appealing for the visitors of my faction home, my first idea was to put these news on displays, but sadly I had to do all of these manually. We already...

      StarMade dev update: why spherical planets don't fit in a block world

      Yes, the ground wouldn\'t be flat, it would be a 45 degree mess in every direction, but you already solved this problem with the ship cores. You can land on a planet with a flat ship, no matter what is its \"direction\". So if you want to build a station on the surface of a planet, don\'t join...
