Mother OS

Mother OS is an ingame script with a robust library of commands to control your grid. Your changes are updated automatically using the block's custom data property. Easily copy and paste complex routines, take them with you without needing mods, timer blocks, or event controllers. Mother OS makes it easy to wirelessly send commands to other grids.

Mother GUI

Mother GUI is an ingame script that turns text surfaces into interactive ship displays. Build navigable menus, show live mechanical views for ship systems, and switch screens with terminal commands or other Mother-powered automations.

Mother Autopilot System (MAPS)

MAPS in an ingame script that allows players to create dynamic flight plans using GPS waypoints and grid positions. As your ship navigates each waypoint, Mother can automatically execute commands at waypoints. Automated docking and atmospheric flight will come in a future update.

Mother Core

Mother Core is a programmable block script framework for creating custom Space Engineers ingame scripts. It uses C#6 and deployed using MDK2. Mother Core comes with rich intergrid communication, command sharing with other scripts built with Mother Core, and a robust system for adding new modular capability to your scripts. Mother OS and MAPS are built on top of Mother Core and cooperate automatically without any additional setup from the player.

About Agentluke

I have always been passionate about aviation and space. I studied Aerospace Engineering, and flew in fighter jets in the Air Force for over a decade. I have been writing software since university, and I have always been fascinated by the intersection of software and hardware.

I discovered Space Engineers several years ago after my brother had been playing it for some time. I was immediately hooked. Sandbox games and builders are my jam, and Space Engineers is an excellent space sandbox. I find the automation capabilties quite clunky and require a lot of menu navigation, but curiousity got the best of me as I explored what the programmable block could do!

I built Mother to make my ships operate more like intelligent spaceships, rather than just a collection of blocks flying through space. This project has been a labor of love for about 18 months. I hope you enjoy using Mother as much as I enjoyed building it.

Thanks

Malware has made done critical foundational work by building the MDK-SE API Index and MDK2. Without these tools, developing a framework of this complexity would not have been possible. Cheers mate 🍻
