Those crazy Space Engineers are now at their 18th update which sees all-new features like custom colours for blocks, configurable ranges on gravity generators, multiplayer syncs of ship systems and more.
There are also fixes and even a few ”minor performance optimizations” thrown in. New game worlds now start with a construction deck, and small ship cockpits get two entrances.
Memory usage has been reduced when placing blocks too, and slowdowns on systems caused by timer frequency has been addressed. Space Engineers is now at build 01.018.021.
Space Engineers is available on Steam Early Access for £11.99.
