POWER YOUR IMAGINATION

Grid Core responsible for grid limits and prevents grid deletion.
Each core has specially personalized limits
to maintain balance and equilibrium in the gameplay between players.
There are 3 types of Grid Core available to you
• Static - which gives enormous possibilities for station development.
• Civilian - for function ships and transport ships.
• Military - for combat and escort (we all know that only for combat).

To check the current grid point consumption
- go into the grid core block control panel

Table with point limits:
• Points Table link

Connecting grids using:
Piston, Rotor, Suspension, Connector, Landing Gear
- will result in selection of core with higher priority.

Note: Duplicating and merging core will not increase the limit.

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.

• How to make them?
- Survival kit - Assembler
• 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 +25 blocks)

Progression Key Fragments
- First key fragments can be found in Unknown Signals or buy on NPC trading station.
- Fragments for subsequent tasks obtain after completing the challenge.
- You need them to produce the keys.

Progression Key
- There are 3 different progression keys (Vanilla, MK, ADV)
- The keys can be produced in a assembler.

Progression Key Vanilla - Challenge: Catch me
- A simple challenge to catch a fleeing object.
- It is designed to teach the logic behind the challenges.
- Don't destroy it, for it carries the reward inside.
- Challenge is only available in space.
You can start the challenge by using the command: !unlock vanilla

Progression Key MK - Challenge: Quiz
- Mid-level challenge of answering questions.
- Providing all the correct answers will give you access to the MK tier and rewards.
- Challenge is only available in space.
You can start the challenge by using the command: !unlock mk

Progression Key ADV - Challenge: Labyrinth
- Difficult challenge of going through the labyrinth.
- A complicated multi-level labyrinth with logic puzzles.
- Be prepared, this task may take 30-50min.
- Passing the labyrinth will give you access to the ADV tier and rewards.
- Challenge is only available in space.
You can start the challenge by using the command: !unlock adv

Warning: Taking the challenge takes away 1x key.
- You must carry the required key in your personal inventory to start the challenge
- If you quit during the challenge the key is lost and recovery is not possible.
- Remember that if you make a mistake, the key will be lost and all the tasks must be done from the beginning.

Spacial blocks marked with a blue border that give additional bonuses.
They are not included in the Grid Core limits, so they have no limitations.
• Refinery
• Assembler
• Welder
• Grinder
• Drill

All blocks named Rebels will lose RC per hour (the same as Grid Core)
- Server destroys block to non-functional state (red line)

IMPORTANT !
Remember that you can't get back the rebel components you invested
(Grinding will turn them to scrap (same way as power cells in batteries)

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:

The player must have a free space in the personal inventory, otherwise he will not receive a reward.

TRADING ON SERVER

It's exchange of credits to ingots and the other way around.

How to make exchange?
The best way is to have small ship like for example digger that you have on screens (space to connect ship to the connector of trade station is limited).

Remember:
• Accept the alliance of the RG faction.
• Trader works like an assembler.

If you don't have credits, you are not able to trade with station.

TRADER

Connector on station.

Basic information panel in game

But only on grids he has the majority of ownership on.

The command wont work of there are active connections to connectors or landing gears, or if there are Players in a cockpit, cryopod or any other block players can sit on.
Like for example the toilet.

Ore Map Randomizer

To add variety to the gameplay and take advantage of the exploration element in the game, we have added many new ores and system of procedural map randomization for ores on planets.
• Ore Table link

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 time" command to check the date of the next ore map draw

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

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.

A simple TAG-based inventory sorter script which brings order to your mess.
it unfolds its full strength on Rebels-Games HEX, but also works on vanilla servers.

How to use:
Just put one or more [TAG] in the name of your container and the script will sort it.

Available Tags are:
[ORE] [COMP] [ING] [ICE] [BOTTLE] [TOOLS] [GUNS] [AMMO]
[MOD_ORE] [MOD_COMP] [MOD_ING] [FOOD] [MOD_AMMO] [PAD] [$$]

The script is using yielding, means it is artificially slowed down to sort only one
item type per second. You can follow the progress on the Programable Block LCD.

Description of Tags:
[ORE] -> Vanilla Ore
[COMP] -> Vanilla Components
[ING] -> Vanilla Ingots
[ICE] -> Frozen Water
[BOTTLE] -> Hydrogen/Oxygen Bottles
[TOOLS] -> Grinder, Welder, Drills
[GUNS] -> Items you can shoot with
[AMMO] -> Vanilla Ammunition
[MOD_ORE] -> Modded Ore
[MOD_COMP] -> Modded Components
[MOD_ING] -> Modded Ingots
[FOOD] -> Eat, Drink, Medicals, Alcohol etc...
[MOD_AMMO] -> Modded Ammunition

You must have in your personal inventory: Token

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.

Jackpot Command
Pay and Win!

Using simple commands you can feel a little gambler's thrill.

Hand Grinder:
• Press [RMB], to Push out components into cargo.

Hand Drill:
• Ore will be automatically transported into cargo.

There must be a container nearby for the auto tool to work

Remember: This system is not perfect and has some flaws.

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

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)

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 server under the Rebels Games banner appeared in 2015.

It 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.

Second server named "Omega" was unveiled in 2018 and operated continuously until 24/02/2022
- We 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.

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!

• C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SpaceEngineers\Content\Videos
