My suggestion a Zombie survival mode for Space Engineers

Dear Keen Software House Team,

I would like to propose an official Zombie Expansion for Space Engineers.

The idea is to combine the game's incredible engineering and sandbox mechanics with a survival horror experience centered around a mysterious extraterrestrial infection. Rather than changing the core gameplay, this expansion would add a new optional way to play that emphasizes engineering under pressure, exploration, and cooperative survival.

Main Features

- Intelligent infected enemies with multiple variants.

- Abandoned colonies, research stations, and crashed ships to explore.

- Dynamic outbreak events that can spread across planets and stations.

- Quarantine zones secured by automated defenses and military forces.

- New building blocks such as blast doors, quarantine airlocks, decontamination rooms, emergency generators, and reinforced security systems.

- New equipment including flamethrowers, motion sensors, medical scanners, and anti-infection technology.

- Server settings allowing players to customize infection rates, horde sizes, difficulty, and survival mechanics.

Gameplay

Players receive distress signals from silent colonies and must investigate what happened. They salvage resources, rescue survivors, restore damaged infrastructure, and defend their bases against growing infected hordes. Every structure they build becomes part of their survival strategy.

Story

A deep-space mining expedition uncovers an ancient extraterrestrial organism trapped beneath an asteroid. After being transported to a research facility, the organism escapes containment and spreads rapidly through nearby colonies. Entire sectors fall under quarantine as engineers become humanity's last hope for survival.

Why It Fits Space Engineers

The engineering systems already present in Space Engineers are perfect for a survival-horror experience. Players would naturally use their creativity to design secure bases, automated defenses, evacuation vehicles, and self-sustaining colonies while facing an evolving threat.

Thank you for taking the time to consider this idea. I believe a Zombie Expansion could offer players a fresh, replayable experience while staying true to what makes Space Engineers unique.
