RivaCom · Monday at 2:19 PM

Hello, Engineers!

The Fieldwork Update[www.spaceengineersgame.com] is here! We’ve improved PvE Encounters, including a full rework of Cargo Ship and Unknown Signal encounters. This update also adds the new Prototech Fusion Reactor, a Small Oxygen Tank, and a Large Grid Small Connector - along with a wide range of quality of life fixes and improvements.

The Fieldwork Pack includes new decorative blocks with visuals ideal for building secret bunkers, mad scientist labs, mobile research outposts, and more. Perfect for engineers working off the grid.

Encounters Modding Guide: https://www.spaceengineersgame.com/modding-guides/encounter-modding-guide

All the Cargo Ship encounters and all Unknown Signals have been overhauled. You do not need to start a new world to experience them.

Cargo Ships Overhaul
NPC Cargo Ships have been completely revamped and updated for a fresh new experience. These grids now make use of modern weapon systems, AI blocks, and communicate using Broadcast Controllers. They’re designed to sit between the simpler Unknown Signal encounters and the more dangerous Factorum threats - offering a mid-tier challenge and rewards.

The factions are randomly generated when you create a world. These include traders, builders, miners, military groups, pirate factions, and two special global factions: The Factorum and Unknown. This system hasn’t changed in this update - but the ships they use have. Cargo ships now use the same faction-based system and colors. This means ships will inherit the colors of the faction they belong to, adding more visual variety. Pirate factions are an exception - instead of their usual black color, they now use random paint schemes to reflect their scavenger nature, suggesting they steal parts and ships from other factions rather than build their own.

Cargo ships can now call for reinforcements via their antennas if your reputation with that faction is negative. Some ships may appear lightly defended at first, but once you go hostile, they’ll dispatch additional drones to respond. Each faction type has individual behaviors and 2 to 4 unique drone variants, adding more tactical depth and variety to these encounters.

Trade Factions: Least hostile. Tend to flee on sight. Lightly armed.
Mining Factions: Tolerate nearby players but may become hostile if approached. Often flee rather than fight.
Builder Factions: Behave similarly to mining factions.
Military Factions: Do not like being approached. Will pursue players who get too close.
Pirate Factions: Hostile on sight. Will engage whenever possible. Some larger ships can launch salvage-seeking drones.
Unknown Faction: Rare and unique spawns.

Unknown Signals Overhaul
New grids for all Unknown Signals. Like Cargo Ships, these grids now take advantage of modern blocks and we also made adjustments to their loot.

Strong Unknown Signals Overhaul
Strong Unknown Signals are now composed entirely of Large Grid blocks. Their location is visible to all players on the server, and they have a chance to contain high-end loot and salvage - making them valuable targets worth cooperating to take down... or competing over.

Improvements to Planetary Encounter Spawning
We’ve made improvements to the spawn system for Planetary Encounters which should make these encounters spawn more reliably and frequently, ensuring players regularly have content to explore on the surface of planets.

Starting today and running through May 30, we’ve substantially increased the drop rates for all skins on Steam from Unknown Signals. Strong Unknown Signals, which have a chance to drop the rarest skins, are especially rewarding during this period. We’ve also reduced the cooldown between possible skin drops, so you’ll have more chances to earn cosmetic rewards as you play.

Happy hunting, Engineers!

Survival Mode. We’re expanding the survival experience with new gameplay systems in our next update. Environmental hazards will affect how you explore and build, while managing food supplies and maintaining farm plots will become key to staying alive in the frontier of space.

All of these features will be optional and configurable when creating your world, so you can tailor survival to fit your playstyle - whether you're looking for a hardcore challenge or a more relaxed experience. We’re looking forward to sharing more soon!

Prototech Fusion Reactor (1 block, L grid) - A highly efficient power generator which utilizes hydrogen as a fuel source. It can provide large amounts of power to grids. Challenge the Factorum to obtain one for yourself!

Small Oxygen Tank (1 block, S grid) - A compact oxygen tank perfect for exploring low oxygen environments.

Large Grid Small Connector (1 block, L grid) - This block serves as an adapter which allows Small Grids utilizing the Small Connector to dock directly to Large Grids.

Refill Station (2 blocks, L grid + 1 block, S grid) - This block allows engineers to quickly refill their suit’s oxygen, hydrogen, and energy. Any player can refill from these stations, regardless of faction standing or ownership.

We are always looking for ways to improve, and that includes adding value to prior releases. During this update, we are adding new content to Contact Pack.

Those who already own Contact Pack will get this content for free, as part of the update.

Additional Bridge Blocks (7 blocks, L grid) - Additional blocks featuring reinforced windows, designed to be combined into the ideal bridge for a large grid ship.

Similar to our previous major releases, we hope you will take this opportunity to support the continued development of Space Engineers. This DLC pack consists of cosmetic items that enrich your game visually. None of the features in this package provide any advantage to players who purchase this DLC.

The price of the Fieldwork Pack is $4.99 USD or your regional equivalent. Show your continued support for Space Engineers and check out the Fieldwork Pack.
