POWER YOUR IMAGINATION

Deleting objects that do not have an owner or don't have a Grid Core block
(There is no other type of object removal)

Cleaning on server takes place 5 minutes before restart

Check video: Rebels Tips - Grid Core

GRID CORE (GC) contains:

• 72 GC Compo T1 – require: 1 Iron ingot
• 96 GC Compo T2 – require: 0,1 Aluminium and copper ingots
• 168 GC Compo T3 – require: 0,01 Palladium and platinum ingots

Server will delete 1 component every 1 hour (24 per day), it means that fully builded Grid Core will protect your grid from deleting for 14 days (contain 336 components which is equal to 336 hours which is equal to 14 days)

T2 and T3 components require rarer ingots so beginners have to refill Grid Cores at least every 72 hours (72 T1 components), but they can easily extend this time to 7 days by obtaining aluminium and copper to build T2 GC Components.

Component consumption starts with highest tier inside Grid Core, which means Grid Core filled up to 14 days will start to consume T3 components first.

• Grid Core - it is also the block responsible for blocks limits
  - Tool Points: 24
  - Weapon Points: 125
  - Programmable Points: 1
  - Projector Points: 1
• How to make them?
  - Survival kit - Assembler
  
• Deleting objects without an owner
  - Grid must have at least one block with a Computer Component
• Does the Grid Core block have to be turned on?
  - No.
• Should the Grid Core block be 100% built?
  - No, it needs to be welded up to at least 1%.
• Pistons and rotors, do they need a separate Grid Core?
  - No, you only need one Grid Core on main grid, same applies to the wheels.
• Does the Grid Core need power?
  - No.
• Does the grid core provide offline protection?
  - No.

To keep your grid, you must have a Grid Core block on it!
(object must have +20 blocks)

Grid Core does not prevent rule:
Objects and player information inactive on server +21 days are deleted.

How it works? - It is very easy!

Being on the server, enter "vote" in chat window
cast your vote and write "!reward"

You will get:

All blocks named Rebels will lose RC per hour (the same as Grid Core)
- this means that they will not be permanent.

Refinery, Assembler – has 840 RC and they will lose 5 RC per hour so fully filled can stay for 7 days

Drills, Welder, Grinder – has 72 RC under level of functionality and 96 RC above

– small tools blocks looses 1 RC per hour
– large tools blocks looses 2 RC per hour
– Giant Drill block looses 5 RC per hour
– assemblers/refineries looses 5 RC per hour

Fully builded blocks provides 7 days of work for assemblers and refineries, without a need of adding more rebel components. 
All Rebel tools provide 4 days worktime in functional state, 3 days under functional.

– Server destroys block to non-functional state (red line)

IMPORTANT !
– Grinding all rebel components UNDER functional line will turn them to scrap (same way as power cells in batteries).
– Don't worry that other blocks with Rebels components will lose components, this feature only applies to Rebels blocks.

Grid Core Limiter / Point Limits:

Every grid with a Grid Core has the ability to use Tool and Weapon blocks. To keep the amount of these blocks reasonable they are limited. 

The reason for these limits is because certain blocks have a negative impact to SimSpeed.

Tool Points - 24 (Drills/Welders/Grinders) - After exceeding the limit, they are damaged.

• Large/Small Vanilla         – 1 Point
• Large/Small MK                 – 1 Points
• Large/Small ADV/Rebel  – 1 Points
• Large Giant Drill                 – 24 Points

Weapon Points - ? (All weapons) - After exceeding the limit, they turn off.

• ? – 1 Point

Programmable Points - 1 (Programmable block) - After exceeding the limit, they turn off.

• Programmable block        – 1 Point

Projector Points - 1 (Projector block) - After exceeding the limit, they turn off.

• Projector                                – 1 Point

Adding more Grid Cores or connecting grids together will NOT increase your point limits!

It is not allowed to have more limited blocks than what the point limits allow on a single grid.
Example:
Allowed: 25x large weapon turrets makes 125 weapon points. (within the limit)
Not allowed: 26x large weapon turrets make 130 weapon points. (over the limit)

When you have a grid that is breaking the rules, expect unwanted attention from an admin!

Progression Key Fragments
- First key fragments can be found in Unknown Signals.
- Fragments for subsequent tasks obtain after completing the challenge.

Ore Map Randomizer

To add variety to the gameplay and take advantage of the exploration element in the game, we have added a system of procedural map randomization for ores on planets.

On the first day of the month, the server draws a new map and changes ore position on the planets.
The system uses pre-prepared and hand-drawn maps to avoid overlapping and creating many single but poor deposits.

• On the first day of the month ore will change position.

Use the !oremap command to check the date of the next ore map draw

Bank Locker
It's a Safe locker at the trading station, in which you can store your most valuable raw materials.
To access your own bank locker, just buy a key at a trade station and weld the block to a functional state.

This is a new element of survival stats
You can harvest seeds and meat on planets.
Seeds and peat can be mined from grass covered voxel`s.
Head over to the Hydroponics block and start planting the seeds.
Harvested crops and meat can be cooked in to various meals in the kitchen or cook bot block.

Food:

• Seeds - You will find them on planets that have voxel covered with grass.
• Peat - You will find it under the grass voxel.
  
• Meat - Can be obtained from looting animal carcass.
  
• Potatoes and Chocolate - Only available at NPC stations.
• Cooking - Vegetables and fruits can be processed into nutritious dishes.
  Each dish has different statistics.

Food blocks:

• Hydroponic Planters
• Hydroponic Rack
• Hydroponic Corridor
• Cook bot
• Kitchen
• Bar Counter
• Bar Counter Corner

Sleep:

• Cryo chamber and bed renew the dream, but when you sit in the bathroom, you can also rest a bit.

Remember! While Drinking and Eating, your astronaut will open a helmet

Tool Sets Commands
You have access to a simple chat commands that will instantly deliver a toolkit to your inventory.
The cost of buying depends on the tier of tools
Example: Exchange 1x Token for a Tool set tier 1

• !tools 1 
• !tools 2
• !tools 3
• !tools 4

You must have in your personal inventory: Token

Jackpot Command
Pay and Win!

Using simple commands you can feel a little gambler's thrill.
There are some really valuable and unique resources and tools to be won!

Use the "!jackpot" command and try your luck 😉

• !jackpot sc - you pay with Space Credits
• !jackpot rc - you pay with Rebel Credits

You must have in your personal inventory: Space Credit or Rebel Credit

Autotransfer/Pull/Push
Hand tools will now automatically send and pull components to the nearest cargo (range limited depending on the tool rank)

In Grinder:
• Press [Shift] to use Push.

Upgrader Tool
Take the welder in your hand and walk to the block:
• Press [Ctrl+MMB] to Upgrade one block.
• Press [Ctrl+Alt+MMB] to Downgrade one block.
• Press [Ctrl+Alt+Shift+MMB] to Upgrade/Downgrade all block.

• If blocks have inventory, cannot be upgrade.
  
• There must be a container nearby for the auto tool to work
  
• Remember: this system is not experimental and still needs many improvements.

Request restore object:forum.rebels-games.com

• Grids are restored if they were destroyed by game / multiplayer bugs or when you are a victim of Clang!
• Information we need: Grid name and timeframe it was still in one piece on the server.
• Grids that crashed / vanished should be reported as soon as possible.
  Grids will be restored when one of the admins is available.
  Time limit is 48 hours.
• An admin can refuse to restore your grid if the object has no individual name or the specified timeframe is not precise.
• Grids will be restored without subgrids.
• Grids stolen / destroyed by other players will not be restored.
• Grids deleted by lack of grid core will not be restored.
• Grids that are often crashing will be considered as bugged and will be not restored.
• Objects with more than one subgrids are considered as clang altairs; will not be restored.
  Sub grids are grids connected to the main grid through rotor, piston, hinge or connector.
  Use them at your own risk.

These rules can be bend by an admin if they have a good reason to do so.
Keep in mind that this is a good will decision.

• Base Manager for Rebels Games Server
• What does it do and what should i know?- It collect all items from containers on the same grid like the programable block
  - It moves items to containers based on a container [TAG]
  - Show on LCD overview of all your stuff (not released yet)
  - Cleanup will be done every 3 minutes
  - You can follow the current status on the programable block lcd screen

• How to use?
  - Add one or more TAGs to the container name where u want to get your stuff in
  - You can add the same TAG to as many containers you want, if one is full, the next will get filledLink: Steam Work Shop

  Remember: still in development!

• Build By:
  • Each object has information about who built it.
  • Builtby defines PCU.
  
• Server clears the player's ID information (inactive 21 days)
  • ID is the same number used to define the builby.

Blocks without a builtby will be deleted!

• If two players build one grid and one is inactive, only the inactive player's blocks will disappear.
  

To make tools, use the Basic Assembler or Survival Kit.

There are several types of lags

• Lag caused by rendering
  If it loads a new sector for you, you will feel "lag" rendering on your computer.
  The screen freezes in place and this may take a while.
  - High graphics settings often cause this problem.

• Lag caused by packet loss
  Your character has been stopped and pulled back (rubber banding).
  Very often occurs to players who at the same time download something from the web, or use the Internet on several levels (high use).
  This can also be caused by the server (ddos).
  The server is still vulnerable to attacks despite implemented firewall and network control.
  Keep in mind that the server has a symmetrical network 1Gb/s.

The Safe Zone has a lot of settings. But if you are not careful, the enemy can breach it.

• If you allow building, enemy players will be able to grind your blocks down.

To be perfectly safe, turn off all settings except shooting and have no blocks sticking out for optimal safety.

Remember to correctly configure the safe zone

The server, by design, upholds the tradition of "Never Wipe"
- Our team is making every effort to ensure that this does not change.

The first servers under the Rebels Games banner appeared in 2015.

The first server was called "Lost in Space"
- It was shut down in 2017 after a joint decision to treat its development as a basis for expanding another project.

Another "Omega" server was unveiled in 2018 and operated continuously until 24/02/2022
- He focused on refining the balance and adding a massive amount of blocks.

The latest project is called HEX and builds entirely on previous projects, with a major focus on PVP expansion.

To decrease the strain on the server from Programmable Blocks, we have implemented a plugin that slows down the running script.

• The heavier the running script, the more it slows down.
• This will have a direct impact on the usability of certain scripts.

While holding the block, use mouse scroll up or down to switch between multiple tiers of that block.

Use chat command:

• !grids list

Easiest way to eliminate problem (most problems).

• Disconnect from server.
• Turn off the game.
• Delete contents of folder in %appdata%\SpaceEngineers\ShaderCache2
• Reset Steam.
• Connect with server again.

If it does not help

• Delete contents of folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\244850
• Check the consistency of files in steam.

On the server we have the NANO (Build and Repair System) for easy welding of blocks.
• Works only on a static grid.

You might have noticed the priority system for welding blocks is not working. The reason for this, is because it was used to easily grind enemy blocks, so we deactivated this function.

Welding

• Block priority System deactivated

Grinding

• Block priority System deactivated.
• 1 fixed color for grinding blocks:
  360° - 100% - 100% (full red)

Log file is in: %appdata%\SpaceEngineers\SpaceEngineers.log

In the folder shown below you will find Space Engineers video's, remove the ones "KSH.wmv" you don't want to see and make SE start up faster!
