building

Today I present you with a contest. Build a hull around a logic-filled skeleton I built, and make it look great! This skeleton is the skeleton of a torpedo bomber. It has a bay door that opens and closes, and an extendable torpedo tube. Thanks for reading this, and if you participate, thanks...

I have always been able to make MaxPower reactors, have a good shield to shield recharge ratio, have had great weapon systems, even make good looking interiors, but there is always one thing i struggle with. Aesthetics. I can never make the hull of a ship look good. Its always boxy or plain, or...

Since we now have the cool feature that we can select what we are looking at i recomnd adding 2 hotkeys for "removing looking at" and "replacing looking at with selected block" It would significantly decrease building time.

Ok, so this idea is kind of simple. Basically, in the advanced build mode, have an option called "Freeform Building" that can be check on or off. What this does is enables you to build in the air, whether there is a block there or not. It'd work just like how placing the core of a "Create...

So, I've tried building on asteroid before and they're either too small, easy to knock around when docking, or just having issues with their mechanics. So this time I've built a rather large Sugil asteroid station with a fancy docking bay and a nice interior. Problem is, no matter how I...

We have all been there, your building something on a large scale and your making the weapon battery or some other giant thing and then you need to slowly link each group separately. I propose that paste checks if you have a controller block selected with c and tries to apply both the master of...

Hello all, I am new to Starmade and ran across a concern. I know it is possible to increase the maximum amount of blocks placeable by the player in advanced build mode. In my "server.cfg" file I have increase the "player_max_build_area" to a value of 150. My problem is that, while attempting...

You can select multiple options, if you have to think about whether to check an option, check it! I wish I could add options I didn't think of right now, but then the poll wouldn't be representative anymore. If you feel your reason isn't listed but unique and important, you can post...

Hello everyone! Here is where all the ships that I create in StarMade based off of my forum story will go. It won't fill up too fast, but it'll get bigger the more time I have to spend on building AND writing simultaneously. I won't ramble on too long now, I'll just show you what I have. More...

Hi. So this is kind of simple. The purpose would be to reduce lag and prevent people from getting kicked off a server when performing a large operation. Here's the problem. Right now when I try to place a larger section of blocks, maybe a 50x50x50 block, my game freezes for a long time and...

MAJOR EDIT: Thread title edit. SECOND ..THIRD MAJOR EDIT: People who have been good to me are treasured in my heart for their interest in my practical and much superior armor-clad vessels. Blocky is the new cool for me. All other arguments are invalid to me. Period. it is up to no discussion...

I often spend hours building massive ships my only let down is the amount of time it takes to place turrets, this then causes me to build larger turret destroying the looks of the ship (I do know that you can teleport into a ships core using tab f8). The way I see it there are two ways to solve...

Changing the docking cool down to be per docker instead of per core would allow for more flexibility when designing rail creations. Enabling rail to rail passes with minimal undocked time. (For example, creating a rail transfer machine that allows one docker to undock from one ship and almost...

It would be nice to be able to create doors and other permanently docked rail creations without the need for a ship core. It would only save a single block, but that can be vital in small ships. Also, it would be nice for the new combined core\docker, to be able to rotate without clearance at...

I dug through the forum history and saw a number of suggestions, but no Shine response. Are wedge lights planned for the future?

Sorry if this is a repeat, didn't see it in the forum yet. It would be very helpful is ctrl+v would link groups of similar, adjacent lights to switches and activators. (Identical to how modules can be connected to their computers.) The current implementation can become tedious and error prone...

GOOD DAY LADIES AND GENTLEMEN AND OTHERS! It is my honour to announce the upcoming opening of the OOB Megapolis Competition! Overview Welcome to the Megapolis Competition hosted by The Order of Bogatyrs! The challenge is one that not all will manage, but those that do will flourish in...

Well this is going to be really awkward, but I was building a ship in a shipyard and I closed the interior off so there was no exit or entrance to the ship. I didn't think it would be a problem, but I accidentally pressed "r" which threw me not only out of the ship core but out of the ship...

Hello! I Usually start small ships with a power reactor skeliton so i see the ship. I then put armor around it, and add systems and weapons last. I have never build anything big, or even medium. (Unless you count a borg cube as a ship :) ) And i want to ask the community, HOW THE HELL DO...
