Xbox vs PC?

[primeinsurrection]

I started this game on PC. I lost a password to an account and lost another account due to a steam bug. Then I got it on Xbox. I havnt played PC version in a few years.
I was wondering the differences, particularly the block limits, if they are the same.

XBox is much more limited in scope and scale from what I know, you have less planets (I think 5 max to the 9 on PC), less mods (steam and Modio vs Modio) and less block amounts. But thats expected since consoles can't really be scaled and upgraded like PCs, there have been a lot of issues with PC versions recently too due to XBox compatibility crossplay.

Thanks. I guess I have to get it on PC too. Is this still owned by Keen? Are they still pretty active in debugging and development?

Hi, it's about the same, well Xbox is limited to no more than 3 planets in, it can support more than 3 but they must be the same 3.

I don't have a Xbox but some asked me to share a absurdly huge Mothership so I published it on Mod.io and they told me they were able to load in creative / experimental mode (all in) with a good Perfo.

+ Also, Mods are now available on Mod.io, it's very new so just a few SE Modders have started sharing over there, we should see more in the future...

Keen are still working on it, they do bug fixes and are are still creating DLC, warfare 1 came out a few months back focusing on new player weapons with expectations on warfare 2 being new ship weapons and such though asking whether they are any good is like opening a whole hornets nest on steam

Thank you. It looks like you all are still here and PC is obviously the way to go.
I will stay away from mods until you guys approve or release them.
I play realistic speeds with no starting ships so it takes so long to start that I cant afford to get any bugs.

Yea people will always find something to complain about. This game already has so much, I cant even imagine adding more components and mods.

I never seen this 'Miner Wars.' So..... is Space Engineers the real game and Miner Wars for people who dont have the patience to play Space Engineers? Like that game that tried to rip yall off like 10 years ago?

It's the very first game Marek made, tho I have tried I don't like and don't play that game so I could not say much about it, SE is my Fav space Sandbox on Steam :)

You are new on the SE forums and don't know me so I must specify this :

I am not a SE Dev but Moderator community helper, game tester and they gave me the [dev] Tag after helping the community and the Devs for years so I can have admin rights to help on the Workshop.
(Steam Moderator role can't be admin)

I also collect all the most talked about every months on the new created forum discussions to add to my monthly report to the SE Team.

I do this since 2015 + test the game since 2013 and I help the SE community because SE is my Fav Sandbox game on Steam.

Miners wars is the first Keen game where they're lied about what it will have, then they abbonanded it.
Then they had a Multiplayer variant of it wich they abbonanded too.
Then there is Space Engineers.
And then there is Medieval Engineers wich got the Miners wars treatment.

In short, we are just really lucky that SE is like it is.

Well dev or not you got my answers.
I know right! Space Engineers is by far the best game ever made. Yea we need breaks cause on realistic it gets slow and boring but that is required for anything to be realistic and to truly enjoy the reward of what you built. Its like future minecraft and the world doesnt get it yet. I cant wait til this is on mega servers and a MMO.
