Creative mode

[Yorkie]

I'm trying to be, erm, creatvie and build my first CV to spawn into my SP game, rather than fiddle around building in SP.

However when I load up creative I don't have the building blocks as I was expecting, can anyone point me in the right direction on how to aquire them.

Also, any must need to know tips for building a CV...

Press "H" in creative to access the raw material

The arrow on the starter block is kinda important. It points to the "front" of the ship. But once you have started you can remove that starter core and put a new one in where ever you want. But the "front" wont change.

Item Menu - H key was covered

but here are some more helpfull tips

Tildi key (~) to bring up the command console
gm - for god mode (so u can fly thru walls, trust me this can be usefull getting in/out of creations)
time xxxx - to set the time (great to reset to morning so ur not working in the dark)
di - to bring up the debug info (needed for getting ids easily)
destroy <id> - used to remove extra entire vehicles/bases or any other game items in the way

the only other command i can think of of the top of my head is replaceblocks, ill refer u to here for that one
https://empyrion.gamepedia.com/Replace_Blocks_Command
btw thats a decent resource website but it may be outdated on some things with all the v8 changes

one other thing, if your making this cv to use on a server, i would suggest making sure you try it in single player and make sure the Block Limit setting is checked or be very carefull
in creative you can add things to a bp that are not allowed by default (like too many guns)
i actually do a lot of my building in sp, with 'im - enable Item menu' and 'sbp - enable spawn blueprints' commands there isnt much u can not do in sp anyway

FYI: You can't spawn plants in a survival game so make sure no plants are in the CV's "garden". Also Plants do not grown in Creative, so you'll have to spawn your CV into a survival game to test it. Use the command: sbp and you can spawn any blueprint into a survival game for testing.

Also you need this command: im now H will open the item menu so you can get seedlings to plant in the CV (for testing).
