Installation

  • Prerequisites
  • Setup
    • 1. Find and Edit the Programmable Block script
    • 2. Select Mother Autopilot System From Scripts
    • 3. Confirm Mother Autopilot System is Loaded
    • 4. Verify that Mother Autopilot System is Running

Prerequisites

Mother Autopilot System 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 MAPS, your grid must have:

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

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

Setup

1. Find and Edit the Programmable Block script

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

Edit Programmable Block

2. Select Mother Autopilot System From Scripts

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

View Code Editor

Tips

Hit the 🔄 button above the search to refresh your list.

Select Script

3. Confirm Mother Autopilot System is Loaded

Mother Autopilot System 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.

Verify Script has been loaded

4. Verify that Mother Autopilot System is Running

Mother Autopilot System should boot automatically when the script is loaded, otherwise running the boot command, or pressing the Recompile button will ensure Mother completes the boot process.I recommend you rename your Programmable Block to make it easier to identify - this will help later.

Verify Mother Autopilot System is running

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