Space Engineers is a voxel-based sandbox game set in space and on planets, developed and published by Czech independent developer Keen Software House. In 2013, the initial developmental release of the game joined the Steam early access program. During the following years of active development, Space Engineers sold over one million units. In total as of 2019 the game has sold over 3.5 million copies In May 2015, for approximately a year and a half, the game's source code was officially available and maintained by KSH to assist the modding community. On December 15, 2016, the game entered Beta and was later officially released on February 28, 2019.
The game is a sandbox game about engineering, construction, exploration and survival in space and on planets. Players build space ships, space stations, planetary outposts of various sizes and uses, pilot ships and travel through space to explore planets and gather resources to survive.

How about a mod that laces a planet with subterranean warheads just waiting to go off, and your shot triggers them to daisy chain explosions?

[@SkillfulLupus]

you should build a space station where the planet used to be partially to see what happens but just because it'd be cool, or if you enjoy torturing yourself, make a grid where mini mars used to be as a weird cyberplanet

6:26 the planet being chopped in half like this is super cool. I'd like to see a mod planet that just comes in two halves like this, if that's possible. 8:42 Just the atmosphere and gravity well would also be fun to play with.

[@zwenkwiel816]

yeah would be cool to just build stuff in between the two halves with gravity going in all weird directions.

[@DWal32]

last time I checked, planets are made using basically textures, and can only have 2d surface level features get painted on. You cannot create an *actual* planet that's been cut in half.

[@victor_creator]

@@DWal32 Maybe you could get a similar effect by making a really, really deep canyon?

[@tassiedevil3]

​@@victor_creatorThat may actually be possible, just grab pertnam and it's crater, it'll have a few bridges but it would still be in half.

[@malkrie1444]

As someone who used to work on a planet for a server and is a little familiar with this, you can certainly do this. However, there are two main issues. First, since SE uses cubic interpolation between values on the heightmaps, extreme differences in height will cause "death spikes" as I like to call them, which can only be removed via gentle height reduction over longer distances (think like blurring the heightmap along that range). Second, you cannot fully separate the two halves of the planet, as there has to be at least one point where all the voxels converge. To be honest this is all in theory but the results of my testing and development would suggest it is possible. Also fun fact there is a way to make specific voxel materials invincible.

[@Zenas521]

Well, keeping with the Star Wars theme, you can now build Cloud City Base where the planet once was.

[@Zer0sLegion]

Yeah, i've created the perfect gas giant for it

[@feeblemind]

gotta give keen props on this engine. it takes a minute but the fact it will register and delete all those voxels and not crash is pretty impressive.

[@Anuwabu]

I always thought a 'planet' that was just an empty round atmosphere dotted with floating islands (just asteroids with grass and trees on the topside) would've been the coolest custom planet ever. And you've nearly made it by 7:40

[@thenoobyoufckinghate9814]

The way I use to destroy plants was I'd fill a crate with X999999 explosives and throw a warhead at it, but I haven't played in years so I don't know if it still works. Another way was the only Doom Vortex created by W4stedspace.

[@Zer0sLegion]

I don't think that's how it works 😂

[@TheEngineeringTactician]

Yeah, they removed the vanilla nukes... though it turns out just dropping pistol mags on the ground is more effective than doing the same thing with explosives.

[@mirroredchaos]

it makes sense that realistically the death star/star killer would not be able to one shot planets, but would instead require a lot of time and resources to get the job done.

Using artificial gravity rings, it could become a good place for a space station, with an "artificial" atmosphere around the station and launch rings to provide a starting boost to ships leaving the atmosphere. I kinda want to make a Dyson sphere around an empty ball of atmosphere now...

[@KnightRadiant-ip9qw]

You should do some sort of battleship or even just fighter battle on the inside of the planet when the entire middle is blown out!
