Modding blocks is the process of sculpting a 3D model, texturing it, and injecting it into Space Engineers. With the introduction of the Modding API, a groundwork has been laid to even more customization of the Engineer experience.
There is currently no one-stop shop for all the information on modding. Information can be found here on the official wiki and the official modding section of the forums.
Tools
Here are the recommended tools to start modding blocks in Space Engineers:
- Blender (For creating 3D models)
- Havok "Content Tools for Game Artists and Designers" (Official distribution of this tool has stopped. Please refer to this forum to find a Dropbox with the tool)
- SpaceEngineersModSDK (For all of your other small tools)
- Paint.NET
