Tools
Tools are usable items with the ability to interact with the environment in different ways:
| Name | Icon | Mass (kg) | Volume (l) | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tools | 64px | ||||
| Welder (Ship) |  |
Components
All components in Space Engineers are based on either the Large Block or Small Block. Large Blocks are 2.5 meters square and small blocks are .5 meters square.[1] Each components size is one or more blocks. The following blocks and tools are available in the current Alpha build of Space Engineers.
Large Ship / Station
| Name | Icon | Mass (kg) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Block | 64px | ||
| Conveyor |  |
524 | A multi-directional conveyor block that can transfer items between other blocks from all sides |
| Hydrogen Tank |  |
||
| O2 | 64px | 2,587 | A functional structure for processing Ice into breathable Oxygen and Hydrogen. |
| Small Hydrogen Tank |  |
0 | A smaller Hydrogen Tank block used to store and distribute Hydrogen. |
| Vending Machine |  |

Selected Component Details
Thrusters
Thrusters for both small and large ships require reactor energy and apply two different kinds of thrust. A thruster applies its maximum thrust while stabilizing and only 2/3 of the maximum thrust when the pilot uses W, A, S, D, or any other means of maneuvering. This means a ship will stabilize faster if the pilot does not activate any maneuvering controls.
Small Ships
| Small Ship Thruster Characteristics[2] | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Force (N) | Power (MW) | Mass (Kg) | ||
| Small Thruster | Max | 18,165 | 0.05 | 93 |
| Maneuvering | 12,000 | 0.0336 | ||
| Large Thruster | Max | 218,250 | 0.6 | 721 |
| Maneuvering | 144,400 | 0.4 | ||
Large Ships
| Large Ship Thruster Characteristics[2] | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Force (N) | Power (GW) | Mass (Kg) | ||
| Small Thruster | Max | 150,660 | 1 | 3384 |
| Maneuvering | 100,000 | 0.56 | ||
| Large Thruster | Max | 1,815,000 | 10 | 43212 |
| Maneuvering | 1,200,000 | 6.72 | ||
Landing Gear
Landing gears allow a ship to latch onto another object. They are particularly useful when docking small ships on larger carrier ships. However, when the larger ship maneuvers (especially in pitch and yaw) there is a common issue where the smaller ship's landing gear will break due to a collision error.
- In order to avoid this issue, ensure that the landing gear is not in direct contact with the metal of the carrier ship. Instead, slowly move toward the ship and attach them the instant the indicator turns yellow. This will leave some space in between the two ships, and keep the collision error from occurring.
