Space Engineers: Update Introduces New Mechanics for Simplified Automation

Redefining Automation with the Event Controller

Space Engineers: Automatons introduces a range of exciting new features that make automation easier than ever. At the heart of the update is the Event Controller, a powerful new tool that simplifies the creation of complex mechanized systems. With the Event Controller, airlocks, docking clamps, loading bays, and mecha controls are now easier to create, delivering new functionality that is both easy to understand and use.

Versatile AI Blocks for Complete Automation

The AI series of blocks is another exciting new addition to the update, offering a completely new way to automate every aspect of your Space Engineers experience. From flight control to combat maneuvers, these blocks are versatile and offer a range of possibilities. With the AI series of blocks, players can easily create a taxi service from a space station to a planetary surface, a guardian drone to patrol the perimeter, or a helper to follow them while mining or working.

Laying the Foundation for Future Upgrades

The Space Engineers: Automatons update also serves as a basis for continued exploration of the "NPC" concept, providing a foundation for future upgrades and improvements to the existing PvE content. This update empowers players to create a future full of automated and animated allies and enemies, bringing a new level of creativity to the game.

Embrace the Future of Automation in Space Engineers

The Space Engineers: Automatons update is an exciting new chapter in the Space Engineers universe, redefining the way players approach automation. With powerful new tools at their disposal, players can create a fully automated universe and explore endless possibilities. Get ready to define a new era in automation and embrace the future of Space Engineers.
