Levitator Mod

v1.05

Levitator Mod is a robust mod development framework focused on balancing gameplay and improving the metagame.

FEATURE SUMARY

- Prevents players from exploting Medical Rooms as a means of teleportation
- Fixes the game bug which allows users to spawn infinite resources by welding projections of blueprints which contain inventory
- Removes the camera view overlay that makes it difficult to see through remote cameras
- By popular demand, the respawn policy can now be disabled and enabled by typing "/rmmod NHBC" or "/insmod NHBC", respectively, in chat if you are a server admin. This way, you can enjoy the other fixes without altering the spawn rules.


SAY NO TO SUICIDE

Space Engineers is a game about space travel, not a UFO suicide cult. As such, Levitator Mod introduces the concept of a "Home Medical Room" so that players cannot use death as a mode of transportation. You may spawn in the planetary lander as before. However, if you wish to spawn on foot, you can only spawn at your home medical room. To change your home medical room, you must travel to your desired home and issue the "/home" command from chat. This way, you cannot travel from earth to the moon simply by offing yourself. This serves to emphasize the importance of these existing ingame features which are not as significant or interesting without the challenge posed by the need to engage in real travel:

- Remote blocks and autopilot
- Jump drives
- Satellite and antenna networks to relay control to remote drones

Now, there is an actual motivation to build stuff and make use of the great features that are in the game, but which were previously defeated by a permissive spawn policy.

This mod is intended to be used with this one, but they can be used separately: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=581068440

FUTURE GOALS

Upcoming areas of research in the area of modding !!SCIENCE!! will consist of efforts to develop radar mechanics to compensate for the vast size of the SE environment. This will serve to emphasize PvP and will add an element of excitement and danger.
