Summary

Hello, Engineers!

The next Major (1.199) release for Space Engineers is upon us. Heavy Industry Introduces a whole new vision of industry in Space Engineers! A reimagining of industrial might, from lunar mining site to factory floor; smelting, refining, and mass production never looked so good.

This massive update is one of our biggest! Including DLC, Heavy Industry adds nearly 100 new blocks and block variants to Space Engineers! We hope you enjoy exploring Heavy Industry as much as we did creating it.

Heavy Industry Pack


Space Engineers “Heavy Industry” pack includes Large Magnetic plate, Beam Blocks, Industrial conveyor pipes, Cylindrical Column, Vertical button panel, Large Hydrogen Tank Reskin, Large Cargo Container Reskin, Industrial Refinery, Industrial Assembler, Industrial Hydrogen Thrusters and Hazard pattern armor skin.

This content is not “pay to win” and the owner of the package has no advantage against other players. If you decide not to purchase the Heavy Industry pack, but you want to play with friends or other players who did buy Heavy Industry pack, you will still be able to join a multiplayer game or server with them and participate.

  • Fixed Passage 3 Wall blocks mount points preventing them from being placed on the thicker side
  • Fixed turrets producing hit markers when not being actively controlled by players
  • Hot-fixed an issue preventing clients from joining servers. This issue is caused by servers running a very large number of mods. This issue prevents clients from joining servers by not counting mod dependencies toward the listed mod count. We have created a fix address this issue on heavily modded servers. If you have this issue, please take the following steps.
    • 1) Make a mod on the workshop. This can be an empty mod with no function.
    • 2) Add all (or part) of your server mod list as dependencies to this mod.
    • 3) Use this mod on your DS in place of the mods you added as dependencies.
    • Players will not be able to use the advanced mod filter and will not see what mods your server needs in server details. They will, however, be able to join. If you still have this issue even after taking the above steps, check that your server description is not too long. Server descriptions should be 200 characters or less. We may add this limit to the server description field in the future.
