You'll have to buy at least one block from a shop anyway. If you use /give_all_items (name) (amount) it'll try to give you all items in ID order or something. It won't replace items currently in your inventory, tough. So if you just use it with an empty inventory, you'll get a bunch of rock and colored hull, but if you use it with, say, ship cores, shields, cloakers and weapon computers in your inventory, you'll get as much of those rocks and hulls as your inventory still permits, plus (amount) of what you already had in your inventory.

so is there a better way to make money because farming 4000 catus will be the worst.

Well, since admin commands aren't restricted in any way...

/give_credits (name) (amount)

What. What are you even. Why wouldn't they be restricted? Clearly something is set up wrong if they aren't. When I try /giveid on the server I play on:

[miauw62]

Huh.
A few pages back forsaken mentioned that admin commands weren't restricted, and now they are?

[Max White]

If there was a way to restrict the admin commands I would. Since I can't I suppose you may as well use them. Its just an alpha anyway, have fun.

Well now I feel like a bit of a dope for flying around looking for grey wedges.
Also, who ever is building that thing on our planet... That is awesome. Points to you.

Oh good, what I did worked. I didn't think it had worked since people were still saying they're unrestricted. :3

I didn't say I play on the bay12 server.

Edit: I just tried /give_credits and /giveid on the bay12 server, and got that same permission error, so I'd say you probably have it working. (Unless there are some other specific commands that aren't admin-only and should be for some reason, but I don't know anything about the other commands)

So a few more shots of -5, -7, -3, Magma Fleet Command homeworld.

Several more structures have popped up.


I finally got around to improving the defense, and it was needed. We have been under pirate bombardment often. Still, shooting them dwn in the big one there is really satisfying. Highly recommend it.


We have come across a strange, glowing artifact of unknown history. Our best scholars have been working hard on a translation, and we have come to conclude it says 'Praise the forsaken one!', what ever that means...


Due to these cultural developments, a citadel has begun construction. Like all things planet side, defenses were incorporated into the architecture, as well as a highly effective heating system for those cold, ice planet nights.


Near by is the local landing pad, or as the boys have taken to calling it 'Yo momma'. I don't funny understand the term, but I am assured it is a form of endearment.


Evidence of subterranean structures is starting to show, with connecting bridges spanning the chasms visible. Either there is more being built than the public has access to, or ice worms are great engineers.


The local power house, constructed with the finest rubber bands and glue, may it power our fair planet in the years to come! Also makes fr a great viewing platform.


The right wing of the fortress has been fitted for manufacture of various components from raw metals. Speaking to the foreman, he tells me these machines produce more carbon dioxide emissions than any other leading brand. PROGRESS!


The left wing has been turned into a museum of natural science, with interactive displays. For some reason the locals here place a very high value on understanding mineral formations and biome identification. Something about finding embark locations.

I finally decided I should make and finish a ship.  I also was trying to figure out a way to use AI ships that are docked and some way that not having them redock would be acceptable.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I present the Deneyer class minelayer.

14 spots for small autonomous mines. 8 small turret spots.
Just set mines to force undock and leave them out while flying straight.


My MK1 mine, 61 explosives and high speed and maneuverability.  Also a radar jammer because why not.

I haven't tested AI ships with the explosive blocks.

I think this same idea could be used to make smart torpedoes as well.  My mines wouldn't even need to be changed much.  I also thought of doing Starwars like mines and arm them with weapons instead of making them suicide.

[BigD145]

Nice Homeworld. Now we just need visitor docks so different factions can parlay.

Details coming together on the carrier. Might raise some of them above the skin. Lowering could prove problematic. Raise a rim and sink the core flush with the skin could work... The purple is where the observation tower will go.

We really need more AI settings for things like homing mines.

[DarkWolfXV]

Guys, I have made a revised version of Isanth-VI. I call it Isanth-VII. Check it out in the catalog. Its more firepower based than shield based, but i managed to fix that horrible power system and put a lot more shields&guns. Now it might actually be a dangerous opponent, considering they come in swarms.

EDIT: I see we cant mess with admin settings now. Forsaken, could you delete banshee and add Isanth-VII to the enemy pool? (Probably deleting Isanth-VI?) Banshee does nothing because AI doesn't use rockets so its kinda useless, and Isanth-VII is far more threatening that the original.

EDIT2: It seems I cant buy ships not only outside shops, but also near shops. Its like, I buy a ship, and I dont get it, and computer is like LOL TY FOR THE MONEY NUB BUT U DONT GET A SHIP xD.

I added the fix to the original post, and add the link to this reply. What happens is the file is named wrong when you save the blueprint, so it takes your money and you don't get a ship. But here is the link to fix it.

The two ships that was happening with for me both had extra .s in the filenames. I removed them (leaving the rest of the gibberish names) and afterwards they loaded properly. (The thread's theory seemed dubious, as none of the other ships were named anything like what the 'fix' suggested renaming them to, so I looked for a potential actual cause)

(Extra .s make sense, but who knows if the save-name parser would be confused by anything else abnormal.)

[Twi]

Ah, Starmade. You've been both awesome and horrible lately for me. First off, why does it eat stuff that you run into while your inventory is full instead of, you know, just leaving it there? I lost about half of my pirate lewt that way and resorted to admin commands in frustration afterwards. (on singleplayer, mind. x3)

Second, building ships without a plan is kind of silly. In fact, the building system in general is pretty awkward, especially when it comes to rotating things (corner hulls, I'm looking at you). And of course, rotating weapons and the SD Cockpit doesn't actually seem to do anything, which is equally annoying. No broadsides, no looking around. Turrets sort of alleviate this, but they work in very mysterious ways.

That said, I'm totally gonna build cool ships with this. Just as soon as it stops annoying me. :I

Do you need to defend a location from pirates, but don't have the power facilities or the space on your station for a battery of Greiger Manufacturing Brand^TM AM turrets?

Tried AI drones but you are tired of them flying off into the sunset after just a single sortie?

*After 10,000 years I'm free!  It's time to explore the universe!*

Well the engineers at Greiger Manufacturing ^TM have just the new design for you!

Meet the Wardog Sentry gun system! A simple low cost hull design with 2 light antimatter turrets attached!  Completely independent of your station's power system, that takes up no hull space!  And unlike the drone, the base has no AI to cause it to fly off into the sunset!
