Among the features and mechanics in Space Engineers 2 alpha, players can build using a unified grid system that allows them to connect all block types together (large, medium, and small), as well as a new 25cm block that opens the door for fresh ways to add details to their constructions. Moreover, while building, players can use the copy-and-paste system to replicate any design element in the world and use it elsewhere, streamlining the construction process and allowing for more creative options.

Space Engineers 2 New Features

  • Unified grid system plus new 25cm block
  • Modular Copy and Paste
  • Suit and Magboots
  • Undo and Redo building feature
  • Detailed block destruction
  • Paint Gun
  • Animated gyroscopes

While building and playing as engineers, players can also leverage the “undo and redo” feature to have more freedom when designing. Players can easily move a few steps back and start again or quickly move forward to restore what they did if they change their minds. Space Engineers 2 also features a detailed destruction mechanic, where players can shoot and tear down constructions, fracturing blocks into several pieces, with fire and smoke effects adding a touch of realism to the experience.

To bring even more realism, the game also features a paint gun that players can use to color every block, customizing the size and the number of blocks they can paint. Space Engineers 2 also features an animated gyroscope, offering a high level of detail with three different animation variants. The block also has some cool new details, like a grid at the bottom and a rotating ball in the center, giving it a visually appealing look.

Keen Software House promises an epic and exciting experience for Space Engineers 2 players with plenty of creative possibilities. Those who want access to Space Engineers 2 early access can do so now through the game’s Steam page.
