Why water?

[Magnitude]

I don't see the appeal of adding water and water mechanics to this game, its about space and spaceships. I don't mean it shouldn't be added, its a nice enough feature, but i'd rather have had aerodynamics and atmospheric drag (and heated re-entry ofc) instead. which to the unexperienced mind like me sounds about the same effort to program into the game.

There has been a lot of clamouring from the community since planets were added to have water.

While we have some impressive water mods, there are limitations of the game engine that prevents them from being anything more than a bolt on feature.

Drag and aerodynamics are imho actually easier to implement as on its own, it does nothing, where as water has voxel interactions.

Perhaps we will see aerodynamics as an option later on, although hopefully a toggleable one as it's not for everyone.

Planets have gravity, should we take that away as well?

I have to agree... Water seems nice and all but there were a LOT of other things this game could use instead of water. The ice was fine and doesn't lag. Water will just ad lag and load times. Hoping they add a feature to turn off water.

Just... why not.

Water has been a very popular community request since planets were added. Its been asked for again and again to make planets feel more natural and because well... Boats, Substantial, Underwater secret bases, etc.

The view that water isn't a top line feature is a fine opinion but it seems to have been over ruled by lots of clamoring from others over the years.

Maybe some kind of system is coming that makes use of it ?

I think the point is in the new version it will not lag if you are using the proper computer.

but with that said.
boats, hydroelectric, water caves, make rivers.
yeah.

OP, are you saying that you would rather have ice lakes for all of your water?

[AkagiVoid]

From The Depths but in Space Engineers 2 and its mar realistic dan FTD could ever be. >:3

FTD - U ram a ship into another ship U bounce off or take whole block/s with U. >w<
(Plus ships do not naturally sink when bouncy is lost and water looks fake as crap. XwX )

SE2 - U ram a ship into another ship, and dat ship either splits in half or take heavy dmg with destroyed and deformed blocks. >:3
(Ships will flood its self, naturally sink of bouncy is lost, and water looks n moves realisticly . >:3)

I think it would be a best thing for you to do
is to test your hypothesis with your life before SE2 goes Alpha:

Stop Drinking Water,
Stop Using Water for your Bath and any forms of Hygiene,
Stop Use Water in cooking for your Food,
Stop going to Beach and Swimming pool,
Stop Eating any Food with water contents on it.

For a 2 months, while having a jet pack on your back...

Make a thread here in SE2, Give us an input about your existence without water...
