      new planets

      Pretty sure they act as gas giants from time to time. You can pass strait thru them. Only they sometimes change their minds mid way and then the planet plate kills you...

      unable to revert to stable

      The list of starting blocks is in the file yourstarmadefolder\GameConfig.xml From the StarMade Launcher under the Build Type menu lower left corner select a new folder to install StarMade into. Select the Release version and under Build Version select v0.199.654a (latest) You may have to copy...

      Have StarMade auto import .sment files on startup.

      Very nice that the game can do this if you rename the .sment to a .zip. But also a little strange. StarMade must use a zip library to deal with archives. This libary must not understand what a .sment is. The game should be able to change the extension of any .sment file it finds in the...

      META, What is it?

      META only exists because there are parts of StarMade that can not be changed by the end user. As such there is a fixed way in which some play or build styles are superior to others. If server or single players had total control on how the game deals with power, shields and weapons. Then the...

      If you could add/change/remove one thing in Starmade, what would it be?

      Do they fear it? StarMade does not need to be open source to offer flexibility. It does not become less or more StarMade even if someone turns it into a desktop space fish aquarium simulator. You still have to buy the base game from Schine to use it.

      If you could add/change/remove one thing in Starmade, what would it be?

      Currently the basic concept of power is hard coded into the game you can not change it. Same with shields and many other things. I would not hard code them. It would just be an example of how it could work.

      If you could add/change/remove one thing in Starmade, what would it be?

      I would look at StarMade as a platform to expand upon by others. I would want StarMade to have endless possibilities. To see how far my players could take it. To be amazed by what the players of my game would do with it. I would add very little content but offer maximum flexibility and tools...

      Have StarMade auto import .sment files on startup.

      You add a templates folder to your StarMade installation. yourstarmadefolder\templates Drop the .smtpl files in there. The folder does not exists in the default StarMade installation. Only when you save a template is it made. It should just be there by default with a little howto.txt file to...

      Prerelease v0.200.250

      It will not make the game better. That to is an empty excuse to kill off all discussion and just command everyone to shut up and accept or walk away. What ever change comes because it will be better after the change. Schema for President and the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. People...

      Prerelease v0.200.250

      Back in early 2015 we had another power update. It lowered the amount of power being generated by power modules. It also at the same time raised the power use of weapon modules. Result pretty much nothing designed up to that point could function anymore. I warned before they did this that if...

      Have StarMade auto import .sment files on startup.

      So you are a new player and want to use some awsome ship or station from the dock. Only to find that you have to download them as a .sment file or even a .rar or .zip compressed .sment file. How to turn that into a blueprint you can use ingame? You use the Ships Catalog but man that is complex...

      Not Garbage Resource Mechanics

      Ehm who is saying kill logic? We just want an EXTRA more simple option to fill blueprints or complete ship yard designs from raw ore. Just like spawn with credits is a server option. Totally agree so no worries logic away as usual. Just don't fret if some extra more simpler ways exists for...

      Not Garbage Resource Mechanics

      You can get pretty crazy with it... Full logic from basic ore to end product one punch every block in the game pooper. Shamelessly stolen offcourse before anyone asks since I never ever build anything with logic. Ores are pretty well added to StarMade if you only get them from Asteroids. Every...

      StarMade's Future Development?

      Expect massive exploits of one shoting the astronaut. If you truly have to pilot the ship as an astronaut. At least in my borg cube the dude sits in the middle of the ship. Mk VI Torpedo This is still a minor issue. Apart from the usual suspects nobody uses this. On servers that have admin...

      What makes a good mechanic?

      It is not about power. It is the fact that an update and this one just happends to be power. Turns all user creations into trash. For a build game a six year old build game that is just plain r e t a r d e d. That is really declaring all out war on your player base. Anything and everything...

      The thoughts of a two hour player

      Yes but SmilingDemon already answered that part. I forgot that StarMade also has Shipyards. If you have a Blueprint or have made a design in a Shipyard then they are perfect for repairing a damaged ship. The Shipyard will unbuild your damaged ship and then rebuild it as layed out in the...

      The thoughts of a two hour player

      Never take out your new toy for a spin without making a Blueprint! If you play on a Multi Player server then make them to your local PC since you never know when the server might crash and then you loose your design. Other players also love to shoot people so Blueprint and Blueprint often. Heat...

      Prerelease v0.200.250

      Schema added a fix years ago. But like so many things leaves the default setting "open" In the file GameConfig.xml There is a way to limit the number of blocks or mass for ships, stations and planets. That is not a crude fix. It is called commen sence and is the way to say up yours to 500K...

      Bug Pre-Release v0.200.251 - HP Triggers(Reactors) missing

      Added the map used the other folders were empty. It is just a fresh map. You talk of rails so my first toughed was the Advanced Spawn Shop with the rails at 2 2 2. For some reason the server.cfg setting for removing the rails from an advanced shops does not seem to work in the 0.200 builds...
