i experienced something similar to this but my game didnt crash. instead the template that I loaded required completely different blocks (most of which are the defunct blocks) and it corrupted the entity that I placed it on. The entity had various graphical issues like blocks would be invisible but still tangible and interactable. reloading my game caused the entity to then glitch out even more so with entire chunks of it missing. tab+f6 didnt do anything.

had a good laugh at this. good to know you guys can make jokes will still bug testing XD

someone suggested that a [Sector] value which would display the current sector also be added. would that be possible?

a bit odd but im all for improvements to build mode

Just to clarify it appears that this suggestion wants better symmetry planes. Something that I think we definitely need.

Yes this need to happen however im curious as to how this would work for measuring specific amounts. Say for instance you wanted to make a fullness meter with logic. if im reading this post right then it would potentially require a massive amount of logic just for something like a 10 level fullness meter (each level representing 10%).

in all inevitability station blocks will at some point be placeable on ships so why not i guess. However i do feel that it has to be balanced in a way that it prevents trolling. i can already envision some one going around dropping hundreds of small self sustaining interdictor ships to completely lock down an entire system.

after reading the post again i figured that the three dockers is unnecessary. however the ship part one is something that could work. think of this as a partial suggestion.

I am unable to decide with this one, yes it can be useful, but I am not sure if using a separate raildocker is the best solution.

Not to go off topic but this brings up an issue that i've been thinking about for some time. what happens when we, members of the council, come up with an idea for a suggestion?

Understandable. However i feel that it's a nessecary game play element. Especially for new players. We can take steps to encourage the building of shipyards with some nerfs to blueprint spawning such as having a build time that's slower than a shipyard. But ultimately I think that blueprint spawningis how we're gonna eventually be able to sell completed ships at player shops

Slow build times doesn't address the fact that you can still store a huge number of blocks without any mass. I would much rather see the ability to hire NPC shipyards to construct a ship or buying ships from NPCs for early players.

This can easily be solved by forcing blueprints to have the same mass/volume as all the items they contain.

I am voting no because I feel that the ability to spawn from blueprints and to use blueprints to store items bypassing cargo requirements be removed from the game entirely. Blueprint spawning makes shipyards unnecessary. With massive cargo stores, instant spawning and no need for a specific structure there is never any actually need to build a shipyard over simply using blueprints.

If a player has multiple blueprints in their inventory, which one is shown? Or are all shown in a sort of tree like structure?
