blocks

Block HP of a capsule is 50, but wood is only 15HP and weighs thrice as much. What are capsules made of??? Anyway - players have been filling ships with capsules as a super light-weight damage absorber. And who can blame them - those things are optimal filler, from a numbers perspective...

Hello All, I would like to know if there's a reason for an "Inner Corner" shape not be available in game. I aways run into trouble when connecting two inclined walls, like this... In this case I have only two options, leave as it is or make a third inclined wall, which in some cases is not...

I started a thread a while ago, in which I missed a key point due to having no substantial experience in the survival gameplay area of StarMade (thread: Question: the ultimate fate of outdated blocks and blueprints?). I learned that when players try to spawn or shipyard-produce structures from...

It would seem that many, newcomers or not, would misuse or underuse the motherboard, circuit/charged circuit, and hull/armor blocks. This has minutes ago become a huge disappointment to me and I will write a simple guide to use these. Like any guide there will be people who post "Oh, I already...

Blocks that are damaged would be visible with the new highlight mechanics. Add a checkbox for it next to light mode and remove mode. If <25% of a block's HP is gone, it will be green If <50% of a block's HP is gone, it will be yellow If 50%+ of a block's HP is gone, it will be red What do you...

My main concern has little to do with systems, but I was recently informed by a fellow player that the current compatibility of blueprints that rely on legacy systems is only temporary, and we won't be able to spawn such blueprints down the road(?). The only thing I read about outdated block...

I don't know how often this topic has come up, I didn't see anything similar in the post list, and the related posts don't show anything similar either, so here goes. I have a cube of Black adv armor, it masses .25 (.25 I dunno what units). I have a wedge of Black adv armor, it occupies 1/2 the...

I was laying down some storage-room cargo storage last night, and I got to thinking back on the cargo update. It was pretty revolutionary. I don't think anyone had made a suggestion for that kind of cargo handling. It was really nice. Plus, I have seen a shortage of suggestions on the forum...

There are a few, very generic decoration blocks that could be useful. Naturally, they should be drawn as compatible as possible with wedges and slabs in mind. Wedge with a grid pattern on the hypotenuse side. (No text, or even text-like glyphs. Just generic "buttons" in a grid pattern. Good for...

Suggestion: Inter-Ship Remote logic block. The current "Inner Ship Remote" is an Intra Ship Remote and is fantastic, but I think we really need an "Outer Ship Remote" for sending Inter-Ship commands (ie commands between docked entities and nearby ships you control). Especially now with fleets...

Last year, I wonder about the possibility of the option of increasing the size of blocks. Here are the potential benefits and drawbacks of re-sizable blocks: +Reduced potential lag from exploring any planet. +Accelerates the designing of large projects +Reduces the amount of RAM needed to...

Is there a location somewhere that someone can point me at that has all the the power requirements/draw for all block types and/or system types? The info is a bit haphazard at the moment - some wiki pages have it some don't. Some numbers I've been able to find in threads here, some I haven't...

Hey there ! Do you remeber Star Wars ? Or Star Trek ? Those Movies/Comics/Books and Series where the different Faction mass produced all kinds of Ships? Yeah you heard right, i just said mass production. Many players think its a bad idea, because players could spam servers full with it. But...

Looking at a suggestion thread about regenerative hull blocks made me think about how nice it would be to have regenerating organic tissues... And bone for armor/bulkheads (slow regeneration; armor between hull & standard)... And chitin armor (V. Slow regen; armor between standard &...

Chairs. as much as i like sitting on any cube or wedge i want a dedicated chair/sofa block. for decoration or system linking. furniture items to bring the universe to "life" im not suggesting a replacement. only another option. something like the picture (in shape). any one would fit in this...

stairs and more shape blocks, as an alternative to Ramps and slopes. more wedge types

So I made a starmade server so me and my friend could screw around. The first time, it went fine. We then shut the server as we both went to dinner. When we opened it again, I could connect fine but my friend had problems. Almost every time he connected, he saw the spawn screen for 1-2 seconds...

Greetings fellow explorers, cosmonauts, Admirals, and pilots. While reading a few threads throughout the forum, I thought. What could be used to rebuild player base, attract new players, build community relations, and make the game slightly more interesting? Well, one possible solution would be...

Edit 1: Changed a few words below with updated the ideas from comments about making it more compact into one block's menu Harmless to allies effects Allies really mean nothing. You cant even push/pull them with push/pull beams without making enemies if they leave hostile action on because you...

hello like the topic stated I like to propose these 2 highly reflective colors to the already existing range of colored blocks. reflecting a low resolution cube map and a star or binary stars if one or more are near.
