perfect, now I can lose in SE too

Well i only have ONE of the DLCs, Heavy Industry.

The DLC's aren't required but are extremely helpful thanks to using the barred window as the chessboard floor and the vertical button panels. Both can be replaced but will likely result in a larger and worse looking product :/

why does it need the DLC??? why can't i just use it without the DLCs?

..Yeah good luck fitting a Large Grid onto a Small Grid board.

I've no idea if that's even possible but I'll be more impressed if that is so.

@Ogre it should be possible with minor adjustment. You'd only have to build a board out of the console blocks (the table projectors), make separate input system and modify a few parts of the code that take care of the projectors offseting and rotation. I'll very likely make an explanation of how the script works on my youtube channel, so if you're interested stay in touch.

@p3st|cIdE I'm sorry as I just remembered the floor of the chessboard uses DLC blocks. The chess figures will still be displayed but will probably be dim/hard to see. To counter this you'd have to retract the buttons via pistons and build a new floor out of some "press-through" blocks.

The fact we now have chess in SE, only gets funnier for me personally, as I have two ships called the Rook and Bishop.

I don't think I can place them on the board :/


Seriously though, stellar job. This is one hell of a feat.

How? This is crazy! I had no idea something like this was possible in SE, incredible!

Yes I love chess!!!

you had me with the machine guns

tyvm for the information

Hey everyone, thanks for the positive comments! @p3st|cIdE To my knowledge the DLC's are used only for the button panels and the 'Wood' block texture. I believe you can totally play this game without DLC's, however to use the game to it's full potential you would need to setup your own buttons (as replacement for the DLC ones) and have them run the programmable block with correct arguments. To get the arguments list I suggest you paste the script into a notepad on your pc, than with ctrl+f search for the main() function, and scroll to the bottom of it. These arguments have pretty intuitive names and I'm confident you'll find them and get a grasp on what they do.

too bad it requires all the DLC; what would happen if you try to use it without all those?

how did this go so under the radar, this is insane

Incredible...

This is an impressive achievement. I'm afraid I can't fully appreciate how impressive it really is.

It's interesting!
