Installation

Pre-Requisites

Mother is available as a script for Programmable Blocks in Space Engineers. Simply subscribe in the Steam Workshop and it will be available to you in-game.

To run Mother, your grid must have:

1. A programmable block with the Mother OS script loaded; and
2. A Remote Control block.

If you're comfortable with adding scripts in Space Engineers, then you can jump ahead to the Command Line Interface (CLI).

Setup

1. Find and Edit the Programmable Block script

Mother is loaded into a Programmable Block by selecting the Edit button in the terminal.

2. Select Mother OS From Scripts

Mother will be available in the list of scripts to load if you have subscribed in the Steam Workshop. Select it and press Ok.

3. Confirm Mother is Loaded

Mother should be loaded into the Programmable Block. You will know this if you see the description at the top of the Code Editor. Press Ok to save the changes.

4. Verify that Mother is Running

Mother should boot automatically when the script is loaded. Immediately, you will notice that Mother is now running. I recommend you rename your Programmable Block to make it easier to identify - this will help later.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Mother into your grid. Now let's look at how you can use it to automate your grids.
