Mother OS (Ingame Script)

Static Badge Static Badge

Mother OS is available as an ingame script for Programmable Blocks in Space Engineers. It interoperates seamlessly with Timer Blocks and Event Controllers to augment existing automations. Start by installing Mother OS here.

Terminal
; Set the color of a light
light/color AirlockLight red;

; Rotate a hinge group to an angle with a speed
hinge/rotate MainLandingGearHinges 45 --speed=2;

; Open a hangar door remotely
@Mothership door/open MainHangarDoor; 

Players can use this simple command syntax to take their automation to the next level.

Tips

Using Mother OS does not require any programming/coding experience.

Demo

Check out the Nova Blade Mk1 (Steam Workshop) - designed as a demonstration aircraft for the synergy of Mother OS, Mother GUI and Mother Autopilot System (MAPS), all built using the Mother Core framework for programmable block scripts in Space Engineers.

Features


  • Secure Intergrid Communication - Grids share positions and easy easily send commands remotely to each other. Send commands to other grids easily with remote commands.

  • Expanded Automation - Mother OS simplifies interacting with the mechanical systems on your grid, and monitors them for changes. See the Cheatsheet.

  • Copy Automations with Ease - Easily port your automations from one grid to another by copying Custom Data text.

  • Styled and Automatic Displays - Print styled text to screens with screen/print, or swap Automatic LCDs 2 views with a single command.

  • Conditional Logic - React to the state of your blocks with when rules and if steps, such as "Batteries" low or grid altitude < 100. See Conditional Logic.
