this game is fun, but i tell you all new players. please take your time build and dont rush your builds and if you do not know how to make things work, well just dont worry about that first, just build the shell first like in away you do in minecraft, then add the important stuff later, after you get done with what you would wanted, then add power or the core to give your ship power so you no your ship has power, the lights will come online. also never start Survival mode first start creative mode to laren how to make things work well you build and just play with what you make and just test things out how you want it, to work. dont be scared of trying things out, you could say your builds and save them as blueprint's or save world, if you f up or you save by accident or have auto save on, just go to your world and go to back up save's then click any back up save's and click the save file and you will load in your world on that last save... okay now for mods dont worry about that yet until you get a hand of the game just baby step's mods are nice but not the important than learning how to make your firt build's also in the settings when making a new world there are options somthing like minecraft dose, when you get there turn off damage blocks as off for now just to get hang of the game, for real so you could have better experience also, comes to bit more advace theres some youtube videos will show you on how to do thing's or ask the community for help also there is SE discord its most likely get help there.. its the best i could explan it to new players

I tried to play this game. It looks cool, but I keep experiencing crashes and lag. I have a high-end PC, so that's definitely not the issue. Yeah, don't buy it.

Space Engineers is still a good game, but it's hard not to feel like Keen has spent the last few years turning it into a DLC machine. A lot of the DLC content could have easily been part of the base game instead of being split up and sold separately.

What's even harder to understand is that Space Engineers 2 has been out for a while now, and there really hasn't been much to show for it. Updates have been slow, major features are still missing, and progress feels incredibly sluggish. Meanwhile, they keep pumping out more DLC for Space Engineers 1.

I get that development takes time, but when players are being asked to buy into a sequel, you'd expect a steady stream of meaningful updates and new gameplay systems. Instead, it feels like SE2 is barely moving while the focus remains on selling more content for the original game.

The frustrating part is that the core gameplay is fantastic. That's why people are critical. Most of us want to see the game succeed, but it's hard to stay excited when years go by with limited progress and a constant flow of DLC. At some point players start wondering whether the priority is building great games or just finding the next thing to sell.
