Cant edit programmable block

[Sojolly]

For some reason i do not have an edit button when i open a programmable block. I have checked to make sure in-game scripts are enabled, and experimental mode is checked. I have been able to do this in the past and do not know what has happened to my game. So far, i have created a new game with no mods created a battery and programmable block to keep things simple, no edit button. I even selected the game to uninstall in steam and reinstalled it. Any ideas on what else i can try to get this important feature in the game working??

You probably do not have experimental mode enabled, that HAS to be on or you cannot edit or run scripts of any kind.
To enable it, simply enter your world settings and tick 'Enable Scripts' to turn it on.

I write scripts and this is my standard reply:

Need experimental mode active
Options - Game - Experimental Mode

Looks like you already enabled in-game scripts
Game Save - Advanced World Settings - In-game Scripts

If you are running a server, there's a server setting called "Enable Scripter" that needs to be false.

Sometimes the buttons on the programmable block get messed up.

Hi, it should work in Experimental mode with Script enabled but a member recently reported that he had to delete the CFG file to reset all to default, open the game, accept the Steam TOS and Mod.io TOS again + Enable Experimental + Scripts to fix.

Mod.io is not needed if you don't want to share your creations with Xbox players but that worked for him so worth to try.

How to delete the CFG file :

Hit the Windows key + R = opens the "Run" window to type in :
%appdata%\SpaceEngineers

> Goes to the SpaceEngineers folder
C: users / your username / appdata / roaming / spaceengineers

>> then *delete the ''SpaceEngineers.cfg'' file and try the game.

*delete = Doing so resets all SE options and controls to default.

[Dan2D3D]

Oh! And create a new NO Mods world after deleting the CFG file for your first test.

-> Do not use a old save for that first test

= Doing so will tell you if bugged in one specific save only.

One thing I've found is that even if "Enable Scripts" is on by default for creative worlds, it doesn't actually enable scripts for some reason. You have to turn that option off and on again to actually get it to stick.

Thanks for helping Dan2D3D. FYI, I only play in survival. Deleted the .cfg file and disabled plugin loader (thought that might have been an issue too). Then went to game options and enabled experimental mode (i got the standard red box warning of experimental mode in the upper right corner), created new game "star system" and enabled in-game scripts, disabled progression. Launched game, selected earth pod. Landed, enabled creative mode tools, made a programmable block on the pod. Voila edit button.

[Dan2D3D]

Cool! It should work fine now and without having the enable creative,

Note
Plugin users have reported that they have to remove all plugins from time to time, create a new world (all went well) and add back the plugins after, a "reset" like to fix.

Edit
Sorry corrections made.

Big edit: I posted a script here in the wrong thread.

Were you replying to someone else?

It'd help if you used a reference name, since that could be anybody in this thread.

If you meant me, I wrote a script to move bottles to help you. Use if if you want. I write scripts all the time.

[Sojolly]

Thanks ShadedMU for the script.

[ShadedMJ]

I apologize. I posted that to the wrong thread. I meant to put it here.

Nothing works for me... The edit button just does not show up.
Experimental Mode is on, In Game Scripts is checked, tried the cfg deleting fix.
Anyone got any clue?

The only thing that worked so far is :

Programmable block buttons not working

Suddenly I can push any of the buttons in the Edit part of the programmable block. The only thing I can do to exit the screen is to spam the X and Esc at the same time. Anyone encountered this before?

Solution :

I have solved the problem by holding LMB or RMB and just pressing the other mouse button.
