Armor Panels Expanded by Demented, Kahned

I really love playing with Industrial Overhaul and I thought Armor Panels Expanded need a little tweak just to fit better into a Industrial Overhaul world and new components added by this mod, so I tweaked components needed to build armor panel blocks.

Half Windows by dxcgff

Vanilla windows: halved and refined.

This mod adds a new character tool to the game - the Tool/Weapon Access wheel.
Equip it to a hotbar slot, press and hold the slot to bring up the wheel, and use your mouse to select a tool. Let go of the hotbar slot key to equip the tool. This allows for lightning-quick switching between tools and weapons.

Instead of managing individual rotors, you control the end-point of the crane using standard movement keys, while the script calculates all joint angles automatically. Smooth, reliable, and designed for precision engineering.

Prototech Aerodynamics Research by Cmuk

PAR replaces Space Engineers' built-in atmospheric flight model with a proper aerodynamic simulation. Wings generate lift from their shape and angle of attack. Fuselages produce drag from their cross-section. Control surfaces work through camber change. No scripts, no terminal configuration, no programmable blocks - just build and fly.

Ares at War Live Navigation by blockloop

Your position is tracked in real time with a configurable chevron icon that rotates to match your heading.

MPX Brain is the central command system for the MPX Defense Network. It monitors your base turrets, detects threats, raises alerts, broadcasts launch/return orders to your drones, and displays live defense data across multiple LCDs.
This script is made for players who want a cleaner and more cinematic base-defense system with automated drone support.

MPX Drone Brain by dj.johnmagus

MPX Guard Drone Brain is the drone-side script for the MPX Defense Network. It allows defense drones to launch automatically, engage threats, return safely, dock back to base, recharge, and report their status to the MPX Brain command system.

MPX MISSILE CORE script by dj.johnmagus

MPX Missile Core is the main base-side control script for the MPX Missile Defense System.

MPX MISSILE script by dj.johnmagus

MPX Missile is the individual missile-side control script for the MPX Missile Defense System.

Dominion Protocol Fire Control System by HellSentSaint

This is my attempt at bringing a feature like weaponcores turrets to vanilla. Under the turrets console near the bottom you will find a button named focus fire and if you select it all turrets will focus on the center of the screen - and you can click to fire the gun.

Prospector 4.0 - Automated Asteroid Survey Script by Hamonous

Automated asteroid survey script for use with the Radio Detection and Ranging (Radar) mod.
Scans your radar output, groups nearby asteroids into clusters, autopilots to each one, waits for you to tag the ores, and logs GPS waypoints you can paste straight into your GPS tab. Tracks everywhere you've been so you never re-survey the same rocks.
