    Looks like you damaged some entry of the grey hull.

    In case you only played around with the editor, and didn't do actual setting up.

    Place the attached file 'unzipped' as BlockConfig.xml in your:
    /StarMade/data/config
    directory.

    If you were actually changing content, and want to keep it, without loosing the other work:

    Use this (takes some time to load) and add the content of your
    /StarMade/data/config/BlockConfig.xml
    into the box on the right, and hit "Find Difference" it will show all changes you made in 'green' on that side.
    You can examine the differences and something that went wrong with the gray hull should jump in your eye. =)

    Is there a secret to using the block editor? I had that issue earlier when I tried creating a wedge version of the Varat Crystal.

    If you just upload a copy of your BlockTypes.properties file and your BlockConfig.xml I will try to have a look through them and spot where you went wrong :)

    Yes, dont use the block editor ;) Editing the raw files with notepad++ is by far superior to the in-built block editor.
    Take a look at:
    starmade\data\config\BlockTypes.properties (this contains ID names and the id's associated with the ID names)
    starmade\data\config\BlockConfig.xml (this contains all the block data that is used for each ID name)

    Hmm, then the block editor needs to be fixed soon. That's too good a feature to just leave broken like that...
