LCD Panels Deserve More Than Just On/Off Control

Dear Keen Software House,

I'd like to share some feedback regarding the Text Panels (LCDs) in Space Engineers. While they are a great tool for displaying information, I feel their potential is severely limited — especially on official servers where Programmable Blocks are disabled.

Currently, without access to scripting, players can only turn LCD panels on or off using Timer Blocks or Event Triggers. There is no way to change the displayed text dynamically based on in-game events or player input. This makes LCDs almost useless for meaningful communication, status tracking, or interactive systems in multiplayer survival.

They end up being used mostly for static messages or funny pictures — a real shame, considering how much more they could offer. Timer Blocks and Event Monitor Blocks are powerful, but their interaction with LCDs is extremely limited. Being able to set custom text via logic blocks (without coding) would open up so many creative and functional possibilities.

I kindly ask you to consider adding non-programmable ways to update LCD content — for example, through Timer Block actions like "Set Text to..." or via direct block interactions. This would greatly enhance the gameplay experience, especially on official servers.

Thank you for your hard work and dedication to the community!

Best regards,

Misha
