@War Wolf
Hey I saw you did a stellar job of refitting Faraday Station. Is Cascade due for a refit as well?

Wolf does the Antares Ark fit within the station?

I could not find the gantry instructions. Can someone add screen shots. That would be super helpful. Would love to see a video of this in action too if someone has one.
Tried building a gantry but it was a flop as I didn't build it in place. Factory side is churning out resources though. I added Isy's which I like because of the autocrafting feature.

@ Thor
soooo.....well, to me at least, the shower block gives a little more industrial feel in the flooring, so a lot of my buildings ( mostly industrial ) have a lot of shower blocks, though unlike the toilet block which is 15 pcu, the shower is 1 pcu so its no worse then a standard block. Now as far as shower blocks being hidden in spots not seen, probably a few got missed in one of the reworks of an area while designing it.

Love the design, but seriously...what is your obsession with building floors and ceilings out of showers? (serious question, if you have a reason I'd like to know it) Expensive for a simple texture....which in some places you don't even use since it's hidden behind other pieces.

What is the name and where can I find the larger hanger doors you use?

I dissected all grid and saved separate blueprints, bit of a faff but it works. Changing a few things to use in survival, I’ll let you know when finished.

thanks

@ benjaminjohnson yes just replace the blueprints in one of the projectors with your own (some alignment may be required ) and you should be good to go, just be aware the max ship size this can build is 100 blocks long, & 33 blocks wide.

is there a way to build my own ships?

@ sparky the gantry is a separate grid, it needs to be build separately and slid into place, if using in survival. The gantry has multiple pistons on it so making it its own BP doesn't help. Best option there is to paste the gantry in creative mode and dissect it, its not very complex, just contains a few sub-grids.

Hia, dont seem to be able to project the Gantry in either survival or creative mode, do you have a separate file for this? Great design by the way and detail.

This is honestly one of the best things i have ever found on the workshop. You did so much with so little space.

I am in awe of this build. The size, the engineering of the projector gantry, and the sheer amount of detail is mind-blowing. I've seen some incredible things in this game, but when I saw that gantry in action my jaw fell open. Huge props, War Wolf.

About how long did it take you to design this, from the first idea to publishing the blueprint?

Does anyone have a video of this thing in action? I can't figure it out and I'm feeling pretty dumb right now lol.

Very well Done Shipyard just built a blue ship with it very good

Dose anyone know how to change the blueprint?

ALSO, if you ever come up with another shipyard, one not SO decorated and less intensive. I'd be very interested in printing one of them out as well. Highly impressed with the size of this current ship yard. It's able to print some rather large ships. I think if one is made with less "bloat" items, you could make it MUCH larger even. Until then, it's my new base of operations :P

12 hours atleast man. Spent ALL last night lol. Now i DO have the multigrid projector plugin, but that seems to not have fixed that issue either. Maybe you could upload a BP of that gantry, and link it within the description of this BP? Either way, you did a DANG good job on this and i give you much respect for sharing it with us.

@ Bovin Khan, OK that makes sense, the gantry is technically a sub-grid so it wont show up with a projector. As stated up in the description, that gantry has to be built separate and slid onto the rails.

Big props to you for building this thing in survival, that must have been a lot of work.

I had to paste it in via creative and it shows up then.

I'm on survival and i welded the station with a projector. The Gantry did not show up in the blue print at all tho. Nothing with welders at all showed up with the projector. I have no block limits at all.

@ Bovin Khan Take a peek at the third pic above, the gantry is the thing with all those red cargo containers on it, its connected to the station through locked connectors. The only reasons I can think of it not spawning is 1) Block/PCU limit being hit for the worlds settings 2) In survival, if the station is pasted in, it might spawn de-powered ( no fuel in the reactor ) so the connectors that hold the gantry are off.

Outside of that, I'm not sure why the gantry wouldn't spawn with the rest of the station.

So.... Where the hell is the Gantry? It does not show up with the blueprint and i can't find it anywhere...

I am amazed by this. You win Space Engineers.

Damn bro loving this. I moved over to the xbox to play with more friends and we'd love to see this build over there. Please make this and your others usable over there. I want you to get full credit.

Wow, this is seriously impressive!
Horribly high PCU cost, but dang if it isn't super cool, and well thought out!
I also find it funny that you have the Purina logo all over it!

Looks pretty damn amazing!

the shipyard is super a bit confusing to get your bearings in it i think there is a good ship

Wow, I really like this build! A year ago I built a shipyard of similar size with a huge glass welder wall on the "station" end, but that had much less decoration than yours.

Have you tried it with the Multigrid Projector plugin?

The plugin may make it 100% printable, plus you can build ships with rotor/hinge based PDCs from projections. Let me know if you run into issues, so I can fix them.

@ Thepopcornkid open one of the projectors in the menu, select the blueprint button and select a new blueprint, what ever blueprint you pick should now show up, though the alignment will probably be off, the projector control seat will have button guides on adjusting the alignment

How would I change the blueprints on the projectors?

Very great build!, I love how you use all the dlc and blend them together so well, even though it isn't an Alien build, it fits in that universe so well and that it would be great to have some of my ships in the dock. good luck on future builds!

interresting for small ships.

Is the sparks of the future dlc required

trying this as a crash landing. need to fix and lift it off planet

Quite the magnificent piece!

Love your interior design as always man. Many things to see and learn. Thanks for the good work and have fun playing <3
