De nieuwe update van Space Engineers staat volledig in het teken van de community

Als een indie-ontwikkelaar kan een goede community je maken of breken. En zoals steeds meer uitgevers ondervinden, kunnen zelfs de grotere spelers daar niet aan ontkomen.

Het team achter Space Engineers hoeft zich daar echter niet al te druk om te maken, daar zij wel luisteren naar wat hun playerbase te zeggen heeft. Ze luisteren zelfs zó goed, dat de nieuwe update voor het spel volledig om ze draait. Onder andere skins en nieuwe blokken waar de community om gevraagd heeft worden geïmplementeerd en zelfs de DLC's krijgen extra content. Dit betekent dus wel dat niet alles in onderstaande patch notes tot je beschikking is als je die niet hebt.
