Space Engineers 2 could greatly benefit from a “Smart Connect Mode”, where specific blocks can automatically connect to each other when placed nearby – allowing for smooth, non-modular designs and more immersive constructions.
--
Connect Mode Toggle: Players can activate a special build mode where blocks like Storage Units, Conveyors, or Armor Blocks will seamlessly merge at the edges.Single Conveyor Node Logic: Instead of manually aligning conveyor ports, a “smart conveyor block” could automatically link to others if in range, simplifying large ship or base builds.Scalable Thrusters: A new type of thruster that can be scaled up in build mode (e.g. 2×2×4) without placing individual parts. This would be perfect for capital ships and megabases.Soft Edge Blocks: Decorative or functional blocks with rounded or adaptive corners that smooth into the shape of nearby armor, reducing harsh transitions. Manual Override: Players who prefer traditional modularity can disable connect mode with a keybind. or its off by default idk---
This Could lead to
Cleaner, more cinematic designs (especially for large builds). Less visual repetition, less like “LEGO blocks”. Saves developer time long-term by reducing the need for many scaled block variants.
