How to use other factions?

[The Juiceman]

I have unlocked a lot of factions and have been looking everywhere and cannot find how to play as other factions and am sure i am missing something obvious. Can someone give me a heads up? Thanks.

Also this is probably related to my first question but i was wondering is it possible to copy the designs of the other faction ships without building them from scratch?

the playable factions other then the terrans you have to destory an at least 1k ship of

and there was like two other factions that i think could be toggled to playable via the factions file i think and not crash the game but i don't remember which ones

and then the mod factions by using whatever mod i'm playing as the salt myself

You create a new savefile

Thanks very much. I was also wondering, Is it possible to mix different parts from different factions?

Yes, but only in sandbox mode.

As far as I know it is not possible to copy ships from one faction to another.

One good reason for why is just that no two factions (not counting moded ones) use the same building blocks or weapons.

I have had luck copying ships from one faction to another. However, once imported in to a different faction, you can not edit those ships. But ... you can spawn them. And they may look a bit off.

I sort of discovered this by accident.

I imported a Terran ship in to a Crystalline game to see what would happen. I could not edit the ship ("encrypted blocks") but I could spawn it.

I'm not fully certain I entirely want to do that again ...

Thanks a lot everyone. That was a great help.
