Our favorite pastime is browsing through the workshop - we are in love with all the creations our players are constantly sharing. 💫

We can't wait every month to spotlight mods and blueprints that catch our eye and have the potential to make your time in Space Engineers more interesting and unique.

Here is our spotlight for the month of February! 🤩

Dyson Swarm by MasterKill666

Dyson Swarm is a late-game, lightweight, Dyson-sphere-inspired power system for Space Engineers.
Instead of simulating thousands of physical objects, this mod uses a scalable swarm model: craft Solar Sails, launch them toward the sun, and generate massive amounts of clean energy through Dyson Receivers - all while remaining server-friendly and performant.

Humanoid's Gimballed Jet Thruster

This mod adds 3 blocks for small grid - 2 sizes of jet engines and an air intake.
Jet thrusters consume both oxygen and hydrogen and can only function while in atmosphere. Oxygen consumption is quite high, so you have to place an intake because oxygen tanks would run dry pretty quickly.

ArmourEssentials by Jeckle

Welcome to Armour Essentals! I'm Jeckle, and I created this mod to fill various niches and gaps present with tank combat in Space Engineers.

Decorative SN by ORusso

I am new to the Space Engineers modding world, but using the 3D software knowledge I already had, I managed to create this first set of decorative blocks.
All blocks were made with care, focusing on visual quality, organization, and optimization.

Battlestar Galactica: Colonial Interior by aczel2

Battlestar Galactica: Colonial Interior - Colonia corridor elements from the time of the First Cylon War, CIC console, Dradis Console, Ftl console, and more!

Alkaline Missile Weapons Pack by Acidosis

This pack adds a variety of missile turrets and almost two dozen missiles, taking full advantage of the Vanilla+ framework. Dumb missiles, homing missiles, proximity fuses, shrapnel shells, armor piercing explosives, splitting missiles, railgun drone-likes, and even nuclear payloads.

240mm Vanguard Turret by Harbinger Ace

Unleash a torrent of fire with the Vanguard, a 240mm weapon system built for ship-to-ship combat. Chambering two separate ammo types - penetrative armor-piercing and powerful high-explosive shells - the Vanguard is ready for any mission, any time.

Immersive Cargo by 4peace

This mod adds specialized, open-style cargo containers with visible contents, letting you instantly see what’s stored and how much directly on the block, and easy access to the inventory.

JSDarkMatter by JejeServeur

Is Dark Matter useful? With these blocks now, yes.
Generator, Refinery and Reactor.

Federal Industrial - Excavation by Frosty

Need a big hole dug or even a small mountian removed? We've got you covered!
Latest from the Federal Industrial team, Heavy Excavation.

HangarField by JejeServeur

Tired of losing your oxygen ?
Here's a set of blocks to pressurize your hangars.

JSDoors With Force Field by JejeServeur

Adds a force field version of all vanilla doors.

Imperial Light Panel by JejeServeur

Is your Star Destroyer lacking decorations?
Here's a set of light panels for your corridors and hangars.

Terra-Remake by MauseLoch9000

Original Mod by Duke of Lorraine.
This is Terra Remake, overhauled and updated for 2026. It includes Biome dependant APEX-Survival additions, 3D-Clouds, a remade Atmosphere with beautiful sunsets, custom Ice-Voxels and of course wolfes.

RCSP Encounters by ShootingManGold

This MES encounter mod brings Venom's RCSP creations into your world using Modular Encounter Systems. It features space cargo ships, planetary ships, and boss encounters for players and friends to encounter. This mod mainly focuses on planetary fighter combat with the Langley Helicarriers spawning flights of fighters to engage.

Henry's Hardasses: The Final Exam by CosmicDonut

Henry's Hardasses. The premiere engineer for hire outfit in the known Galaxy. They have a reputation for getting the job done when no one else can.
Upon completion of this scenario, you will become a member of the HHAS (Henry's Hardasses), and eligible for future scenarios!

Scientific Progress by Echthros

"Scientific Progress" is a progression-type mod that creates a set of goals on each planet and in the world overall to create a sense of proper play progression.
Block unlocks, player buffs, block buffs, and monetary rewards are all tied to the gathering of "science" on planets through several methods. Send probes deep into the atmosphere of a gas giant, skim the surface of a star, and trawl through exotic biomes in search of the most valuable scientific data!

WeatherForecastMod by SilentAssassin

Weather Radar & Grid Protection - Enhance your survival immersion with a localized weather forecasting network. Predict incoming storms and protect your infrastructure by automatically folding solar arrays or braking turbines before the damage starts.

MultiSeating by yellow51

Have you ever wanted to take a seat on the couch next to your friends? Maybe watch a movie?...well now you can!

MSCDS by Xejijikot

Created to use wheels as tank suspension without using gyroscopes. Equipped with hydropneumatic suspension.
Allows to turn around on the spot without using gyroscopes!

Rotary Stabilizer by Temich_P

Rotary Stabilizer is a specialized script designed to keep your tools, drills, or platforms perfectly level relative to a planet's gravity. It uses advanced exponential smoothing to eliminate "jitter" and "shaking" common in heavy mechanical rigs.

Afterburners by Meta Calf

Adds a simple, cockpit-friendly afterburner toggle to ALL thrusters.
When enabled, thrusters get a boost of 400% of normal operating power (and consume more power accordingly). If you push the engines harder than their normal maximum, they can start to tear themselves apart!

SpawnKit - Start Items by Ryan477

Give every player the exact spawn inventory you want.
No vanilla files are overwritten. Everything is controlled by a simple config file per world/save.

Airtight Doors by Echthros

Modifies doors to not break airtightness when opened. Can be toggled on for "Doors", "AdvancedDoors", "SlidingDoors", and "HangarDoors" separately via Config.
For anyone that enjoys the oxygen mechanics, but doesn't want to have to constantly worry about accidentally venting.

Sleep in Beds by Meta Calf

When all online players are "asleep" (in a bed or cryo chamber), the server will fast-forward time.
The moment any player gets up, time goes back to normal.
Runs on the host / dedicated server (clients do not control time).

Character Resource Usage Configurator by yellow51

A simple mod that allows server side energy, hydrogen and oxygen multipliers to be configured. This way, you can run any character (modded or vanilla) without having to reupload a mod or make one to the workshop or anything tedious like that.

Space Engineers - The fastest way to space

Major Jon

may I have some testing and feedback on my new Aspen rover please?

Due to steams content verification system seemingly being frozen at the moment, I can't add any descriptions or pictures to the actual submission. I can tell you a little bit about my vision for it though. It is a 100% battery operated vanilla build (depending on your position with the use of the Wasteland DLC), with 1 ore detector, 4 gyros, 6 cry chambers, a survival kit, connector and 6 downward thrusters. The rear is still a work in progress as I am unable to settle on a design, and the downward thrust...

Space Engineers Update 209 Sneak Peek: New Contracts

24 Feb

We’re making great progress on the 1.209 update, adding lots of new content and features to the economy system, while simultaneously improving and expanding older elements. Over the past few weeks, contracts have been a major focus.

Many of the existing contract types are being refined to address pain points and improve their overall experience, while several brand-new contracts are being added into the mix. Our goal is to deliver an updated experience that features modernized NPC grids, dynamic situations, and objectives that encourage the use of specialized craft to get the job done.

Recovery Contracts: You never know what you might find in the void of space. The existing NPC and encounter systems now have a chance of becoming the starting point of your next big payday. Explore, discover, profit.

PvE Bounty Contracts: Jump right into the action - facing off against pirates, mercenaries, and hostiles who threaten your allies. Defeat them, keep the trade lanes secure, and earn credits for your prowess.

Hauling Contracts: Containers packed with vital supplies are ready to move. Can your ship handle the additional weight and still make the delivery window?

Salvage Contracts: Valuable items have been lost in the aftermath of a disastrous event. Track them down, return them to their rightful owner, and you’ll be generously rewarded. The client only cares about their treasures, anything else you manage to extract is yours to keep.

Whatever your playstyle is, 1.209 is sure to breathe new life into your Space Engineers experience. We can’t wait to get it into your hands!

Unknown Signals:You did not find any special item.

Anyone else noticing the 'special item' drop rate changed? It *used* to be that you'd get something each time until some daily limit, which now I guess is four. I'm finding now that the drop is random in that it's taking me 8 or 9 hour game sessions to reach that limit, while being careful to get each and every unknown signal quickly. Add to that, if you reach your daily limit they don't seem to start dropping 'special items' again until that time the next day. (ie, not 24 hours after the 4th-most-recen...
