The main thing I noticed is that light blocks stopped emitting light from one of the surfaces had another block within 2m of it. That doesn't happen with shadows off. Also, my base in the middle of space is really, really dark with shadows on, not so much with shadows off (and right now, it's...

The shop doesn't purchase at a lower price because as the benevolent capitalists they are, who have chosen to buy and sell at the same price, they are committed to staying out of the market. :p I wouldn't limit offers to 50-200% of the price in the block config, I would limit them based on the...

Yeah, I've noticed that lights behave weirdly in shadows. I turned shadows off because of it.

My suggestion would not use up any more block IDs either, since the light would be a texture block within a normal block.

Or, make undeathinators on a ship have a countdown before respawning a player.

Kind of, but not really. Using 1024 block IDs (10 bits) plus 16 metadata IDs (4 bits) is no different than using 16384 block IDs (14 bits). Both take up the same amount of space. Yes, you would 'save' item IDs, but you wouldn't save any data per block over just increasing the data space used to...

YES! No matter how storage gets changed, this really should happen. The window is just so small and hard to navigate when dealing with a shop or a full plex storage.

A trading system would be great. I outlined an idea for one in a comment on this thread.

It does sound like a good idea, however, I think one of the reasons that drift was put in place is to prevent server lag from tons of objects flying around with no one in them. Adding it as a toggle option could help eliminate that though; it could be made to automatically turn off when some...

I would like to see something like this too. I think it would be really nice to have forward thrust be controlable in an up and down fashion, like a rocket in KSP. So you could lock the thrust at anywhere between 0-100%

While it seems like a good idea to have multiple thruster and power generator blocks, I don't see them ever being used. The reason being, pretty much every ship contains multiple power blocks and thrusters. If you can get the same amount of thrust from 1 expensive block instead of 10 cheaper...

Yes, I know there is paint. Sorry, I should have expanded on that. What I meant was, with the removal of the old factories, you can't use the recipes for painting a hull that you can buy from the shop, so therefor there is no way to use paint. Thanks @Matt_Bradock, that's exactly what I was...

No thread for the newest update, I'm hoping this is the right place to post this. I noticed in the most recent (0.1617) update, the original factories have been removed. I guess that was to be expected, but this has left a few holes in crafting: Turning corners/wedges/etc back into standard...

I believe the rocks @Proxima_Centauri was referring to are the terrain blocks from planets, like "Ice planet rock", "Red Rock", etc. Currently those aren't in use for crafting.

Yeah, as I noted, the Purple and grey/black light were probably new. The other colors already exited (although now that you mention it, I think orange is new as well. Not sure, I stick to white lights for the most part). Also, this suggestion wasn't really related to new light colors, but being...

That does not solve the issue of selecting storage from the drop down menu in the inventory tab though, which is really helpful when in build mode. Since the factories show up there too, they get mixed in, and you can't tell the difference in the list!

I like the trading idea. I would add to it to have a trading "hub" at each NPC shop (or a new NPC building called a Trading Hub). The hubs would all share the same inventory, as from a RP standpoint it would be the Trading Guild's job to shuttle items between the stations. You could put items...

I know this is an old thread, but I think this is still needed, especially for factories. I'm not sure what the new storage system will look like when it is implemented, but I am pretty sure it won't affect factories, so it still would be nice to have labels for them in the drop-down on a...

A good option to make ships still easy to build is to have all blocks from all storage systems on a ship be available in one place while in build mode, and to also have available in a separate tab all the blocks available in the storage system of station or ship the ship is docked to. I think...

Not quite; the new update is for 8 new colors of glass, not lights. The rods are new though, and I think the grey & purple are new colors. (I'm assuming you are referring to this tweet). It also doesn't solve the border issue. If you want to have a red wall with a white light on it, you can't...
