there is the option to start a game in space though is there not? or maybe just download the BP for the old starter ship and put yourself in space with admin spawn ship and way ya go....play the game the way you want it

It went from having a starter ship that had enough materials to go back into space with a bit of ice, and there was only one type of assembler. I don't want to have to mine ores on a planet to start out :P

@sonicrules1234 what changed??
sonicrules1234  [author] 6 Apr, 2021 @ 8:40am 
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I haven't really been able to enjoy Space Engineers since they changed the way you start out.

Yea I have no idea but it's an awesome mod and I have worked around the ISY issues to accommodate it on the server because I hate continuously mining uranium

The way this mod works is by telling the game that they are reactors. I'm not sure why it's sending plant food to refineries, because plant food is marked as components. Although I'm pretty sure that with inventory managers there are ways to exclude items from going into different inventories.

This mod is awesome and love how it has changed my server....however I have a few little issues. ISY inventory sees this mods reactors as normal so tries to place uranium in them bit cant and also it has no idea what to do with plant food so it tries to send it to a refinery constantly.

Ultimately everything still works it just stalls the isy script pretty bad when your producing food for the plants and if you try to use isy reactor balance feature

not to shabby

thanks. Also, why not utilize Lithium next?

Specs:
+25% more en than nuclear
+600% longer duration for energy.

Shouldn't it be called "Biofuel combustion engine" or just "combustion engine" itself since it seems odd to "react" fuels in a reactor?
sonicrules1234  [author] 13 Jan, 2018 @ 11:13am 
Ok, added small grid versions too. I just wish I had better textures.
Hanadon 12 Jan, 2018 @ 2:01pm 
Yo, great job, but you should make a small version as well!

Ditto... :) Don't give up! The SE community needs new things to show us what KEEN should be doing! :P
sonicrules1234  [author] 9 Jul, 2017 @ 8:15pm 
Yeah, I can't wait till keen comes out with that windmill.

VERY nice. I have been looking for 'alternitive' power mods. This one looks good.

The only mention I have is that a biofuel reactor would not be on par with a large reactor.
the 50MW range seems to be more appropreate for the nature of the fuel being generated.
1/6 the power of a large reactor, but much stronger than a small reactor.

Just a friendly mention.

ah ok yeah i though you made a smaller version,
sonicrules1234  [author] 6 Jul, 2017 @ 8:09am 
Ok, picture added for the small grid blocks.
sonicrules1234  [author] 6 Jul, 2017 @ 7:15am 
The small block biofuel farm is the exact same size and model, just converted to work with small grids :P
NixFaux 5 Jul, 2017 @ 7:20pm 
ohh nice is there any pictures?
sonicrules1234  [author] 4 Jul, 2017 @ 9:03am 
Update: I've added small grid blocks now.
NixFaux 3 Jul, 2017 @ 4:51pm 
Soundslike an intresting build , if you want to talk more about the bot etc.. im usually on this http://aminoapps.com/c/space-engineers-amino and reply back faster

I'm feeling like making a new fighter ship. I don't really like looking for uranium, usually I just use liquid hydrogen froom Visentinel's mod, so I'm gonna make the small block versions today. I'm looking for a small block version of the oxygen farm, but I'm gonna see if I can use the same model and just change the xml a bit to make it hopefully work with small grids.
NixFaux 2 Jul, 2017 @ 2:48pm 
So is this an alage based Biofuel ... lol jk however it is a use for stone and it generates some power ill mess around with it.
sonicrules1234  [author] 2 Jul, 2017 @ 5:45am 
Yeah, I wanted it to be like that too. The biofuel farm does take power, so you could think of it like having an internal light :P
NixFaux 2 Jul, 2017 @ 4:14am 
Ah ok just thought it would be simpler if the sun on the O2 generator , generated biofuel would cut out a step but if theres a barrier that prevents a block to have 2 functions thats understand able.
sonicrules1234  [author] 1 Jul, 2017 @ 6:14pm 
The reason has to do with the way the mod works. I have the biofuel farm set up as a refinery that refines plant food into biofuel. I don't think it can be a refinery and an oxygen farm or solar panel at the same time.

Just curious why no sunlight?
