      Hi. I used to play starmade on a macbook pro. It had a lot more screen space(17 inch). Now I have a surface pro. it is much smaller but windows has been running most programs more smoothly.

      help with activators and making one way trigger

      so I have an odd little idea I am trying to get to work, but could only get about half way. I have 2 'fins' docked to my ship.

      Has anyone addressed shadows for translucent blocks?

      So before posting I googled "why do starmade glass blocks have shadows" and didn't get any matches so i am going to assume no one has pointed it out.

      can you change the speed of the \ key rotate?

      I really love using \ to spin around my builds. Only it is way too fast. I have assumed there was some setting to change it to be slower , or something to click, but I haven't been able to find it. I was wondering if anyone knew how to slow it down, or another way to get a good view of your build.

Maybe it is lazy, but I would like an option to take my whole ship and POOF right into a blueprint, in my...
