will you make an updated version for the survival/economy update?
Mikaufoxy 3 Jun, 2018 @ 12:22pm 
Shows up in the mods list, but not on the blueprints list.

Needs a parachute for planet start.

Thank you for making this mod because I have enjoyed it for over a year now. The truth is it inspired me to make my own version for planets.

seems to not work anymore

I am looking for a similar shape to this one but had a conveyor on the side it was built around the arc furnace it was in a very dark map that was just for survival but I can't find it because my game crash can't remember the actual shape of it but was very similar to this one if anyone knows where I can find this ship

Could have a minimal planetside lifeboat with the new thusters instead of the ion ones
Nuttyrat 14 Nov, 2015 @ 2:31pm 
I've been trying to convince TobyZ28 to work on the ship but he's pretty busy outside of SE. Hopefully he will have some time to come back and look at the ship again!

So I tried this ship out and noticed that the oxygen bottles included in the start supplies were empty. Anyone know if this is intentional? I had to scramble to make an oxygen generator to fill them which was fun I'll admit but unexpected.
Koder 23 Oct, 2015 @ 2:34pm 
I'd recommend one hydrogen bottle, I recently tested it with my respawn ship and it gives you enough time to find a bit of ice.
Mecha-B 22 Oct, 2015 @ 11:34pm 
Are you planning to add hydrogen bottles into the start supplies since jetpacks now require it for fuel?
Sarxis 3 Oct, 2015 @ 9:15pm 
Love it!

Just the right challenge for a harsh survival environment like space. :)

Astroids rained down for days destorying my solar panel and leaving me with just 10 min of battery power left to achieve the unthinkable. Behold the creation you have spawned.

Hi Carmon, I'll see what I can do :).
Drake 13 Apr, 2015 @ 7:46pm 
:pilot:This is a great boat, i use it on my public server "The Jaded Core" thow its abitt aquward because the solar panel never shutting down on abandoned bases, (i used to delete powered down bases) was wondering if you could make a version with a generator instead of the panel? thanks!
TK 5 Apr, 2015 @ 7:02am 
Thanks, Toby. Just wanted to check. I use this ship on every survival map I start. Some others and myself think this is the perfect amount of challenge. The other version was a little more aesthetically appealing but this works just as well. Keep up the good work.
Biblitz  [author] 5 Apr, 2015 @ 6:06am 
Theyre all yellow for now until i can pop some colors on the rest ;) Had to remake it due to the oxygen patch recently, thought i'd minimilize it even more! :)
Reknot 5 Apr, 2015 @ 5:48am 
New thumbnail?
Is that a Mico-Minimal Space Life boat? xD
Was just an observation. =) Cheers.
TK 4 Apr, 2015 @ 3:02pm 
Oxygen is perfect. Thanks, Toby! Anyone else having them listed as different colors but all spawning the same color?
Biblitz  [author] 2 Apr, 2015 @ 8:12pm 
The O2 buggyness was due to a XML mistake on my end ;) All fixed now. I strongly suggest ditching ur current lifeboat and spawning a new one!
Nuttyrat 2 Apr, 2015 @ 7:07pm 
O2 bottles seem to be pretty buggy ... screws up the inventory something fierce. I don't think its a ship issue though, more a game bug. Specifically i either can't pick up a bottle or another inventory item .. and sometimes the inventory item changes from one thing to another (i picked up the reactor rods, and they became construction components).

Anyone else come across anything like that ?
Reknot 2 Apr, 2015 @ 6:39pm 
Owh it's doable. I just started a new world 4 hours ago. Did some modifications on the ship right at spawn. Then hunt down ice. =) It's all good. All in the spirit of a hard start-
Biblitz  [author] 2 Apr, 2015 @ 5:54pm 
Added 4 oxygen bottles to the ship. Wanting some feedback on if this is even do-able - feedback appreciated!
Biblitz  [author] 2 Apr, 2015 @ 2:05pm 
Yea working on the oxygen tanks today ;)
Reknot 2 Apr, 2015 @ 2:04pm 
yeah, Respawn ships are all good. Still _sometimes_ on Asteroids scenario I spawn in the big yellow ship when starting a new game. Still, This will be a intressting start with the new Oxygen Update. xD
Biblitz  [author] 2 Apr, 2015 @ 12:14pm 
Hi All, found the problem. Please refresh the mod and see if it works :) Thanks for the feedback. Theres also a new bonus for you guys, new ship colors :D
Reknot 2 Apr, 2015 @ 11:42am 
Yeh, for some reason this ship doesnt replace my ships at all. I _Can_ replace it by unpacking the file by hand. And replace when the world is made. But just making it active in a new world is a nogo for me. :-\
TK 2 Apr, 2015 @ 7:17am 
Thanks, Toby. It might just be an issue on my end but it only seems to be happening with this mod even when loaded by itself. I'll go through my worlds again. Every time I start a new one and add the mod it does the same thing. I love this mod, thanks again for making it. I'll update these comments if I can find the issue.
Biblitz  [author] 2 Apr, 2015 @ 1:19am 
Hmm odd, i don't seem to be having this issue at all (started a new map in the last week). This mod only replaces spawn ships so there shouldn't be any odd game crashes. I'll check it out to see if i can replicate...
TK 1 Apr, 2015 @ 11:15pm 
Thanks so much Toby, but is anyone else having trouble since the update? It's the only mod that seems not to be working after all my testing. I spawn outside of the ship unable to move and if I hit 'v' the game crashes. Anyone else?
Biblitz  [author] 25 Mar, 2015 @ 7:28pm 
Updated to replace ALL respawn ships with this! Enjoy :)
TK 25 Mar, 2015 @ 1:56pm 
I'd also like to know if you could make this mod so that the MSL replaces all of the respawn ships or causes the others to be blank/unselectable. That would be perfect. Thanks for the great mod. This is one of the best starter ships for a bit of a challenge.

what is its workshop ID?
KAMI1765 22 Mar, 2015 @ 4:31am 
ein sehr harter start .. ich habe das schif erst mal mit der hauptsation gekoppelt und ne rafinarie gebaut dan immer material per hand von der rafinarie in das schiff um da was zu produzieren und wieder zurück und es baun . eigendlich ist das eine solar pannel zu schwach für ne basis aber mit der batterie kan man immer wieder etwas laden wärend man weck ist und recurcen abbaut.
und dann lauft auch alles.
mitlerweile habe ich ne eigenen reaktor ne medikal bay und ein kleines lager mit antene.
dan habe ich an diese start schiff ein rackten werfer angebaut.
mit gerade mal 8 racketen ein vorbeifliegendes schiff zerschoßen und die teile mit einen fahrwerk zu meiner basis geschleppt .
jetzt habe ich genug recurcen um sie komplet zum laufen zu bringen.
wolf4243 3 Mar, 2015 @ 8:49am 
Hey i like so much that i wander if it's possible to have it for all shuttles respawn ?
wolf4243 28 Feb, 2015 @ 12:29am 
Nice choice for not too easy beginning :-)
Biblitz  [author] 7 Feb, 2015 @ 11:30pm 
Thx for the positive feedback ;) Glad to hear this lil boat is making survival that much more fun for everyone!
bash 30 Jan, 2015 @ 12:49pm 
This ship (mode) should be in vanilla game really. After starting on "easy start", this is finally something with actual "survival" in this game. Great work!
kessusagi 17 Jan, 2015 @ 12:19pm 
This ship is a lot of fun for Armageddon. If you want to learn how to start from almost nothing this mod is for you. I have already built a large base starting with this mod on armageddon settings with no cargo ship spawns, so its possible if you want to learn about power and resources management.

Thanks for making this awesome little mod of pain.
ManofWar 16 Dec, 2014 @ 12:45pm 
This ship is ok, you can get a good start with it.
First you have to charge the battery a litle, doesnt have to be a lot.
Secont find a good place to place a station.
Third make a refinery, reactor and a passenger chair, you may have to grind down most of the ship to do that. Place the reactor and refiney door to door, that way all the nuclear fuel willl automatically be delivered there.
Mine some uranium with your handdrill, place it in the refinery.
Turn the refinery off in the control panel.
Recharge your health to full in what is left of the ship.
Grind down the solarpanel from the ship, do not drop anything. Place the solarpanel on the platform in the sun. Grind down the battery and place it on the platform. In the control panel have the battery recharge for a few sec. When the battery has recharged a litle take it of recharge and set the refinery to on, watch the uranium start to flow in to the reactor. The rest is just building yourself up.
Biblitz  [author] 12 Dec, 2014 @ 6:13pm 
There may be a warhead in the inventory that can be broken down and refined for a starter amount of uranimum :)
willcross06 4 Nov, 2014 @ 9:19am 
I can't figure out how to power a platform with this ship. I built a refinery and a power plant. I can't power the refinery because the small solar panel doesn't have enough solar cells to make a large station sized panel. If I can't power the refinery I can't refine uranium to start up my reactor or refine gold and silicon to make displays and other things I need?

What are some strategies you guys use to make a platform starting with this ship?
Orange Juice Goose 19 Sep, 2014 @ 11:40pm 
The true challenge
Biblitz  [author] 10 Sep, 2014 @ 8:14pm 
Glad everyone is liking this :) A few days after patch thursday I will likely put an updated version of this mod up to include several other ships for starting off.

Timster056, to use a mod follow these steps(first two minutes of the video):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50eEWdzGp6g
and search for this and any mods you'd like.

When you start your world with the the mod, select the first respawn ship option and you will spawn in this ship :).

how do i spwan it in
Darkaiser 9 Sep, 2014 @ 10:16pm 
I like it. It LOOKS ugly as sin...which it should. The Arc Furnace will be enough for Iron (your biggest resource at first) and if you're really patient just turn it into the sun and sit there to charge the battery. Hard-core start FTW.
gFleka 9 Sep, 2014 @ 12:08pm 
Very nice for those who like toughness :D
