How To Enable In-Game Scripts on Your Space Engineers Server

Note:

Space Engineers’ Programmable Block allows players to run custom C# scripts from the Steam Workshop. These scripts can do some amazing automation like Isy’s Inventory Manager, automatic LCDs or complex drone pathing. Most servers disable in-game scripts by default in order to avoid lag due to poorly optimised code but enabling them is a massive quality of life upgrade for your players.

1. Log In to Your Panel

2. Select the ‘Files’ Tab

The Cybrancee panel dashboard with an arrow pointing to the Files tab.

3. Select the ‘config’ Folder

4. Select the ‘Saves’ Folder

5. Select the ‘World’ Folder

6. Inside the ‘World’ Folder, Select the ‘Sandbox_config.sbc‘ File

7. Enable the Scripts Setting

Scroll through the file or use Ctrl + F to find the <EnableIngameScripts> tag.

To allow players to use Programmable Blocks, carefully delete the word false and replace it with true so the line looks exactly like this:

<EnableIngameScripts>true</EnableIngameScripts>

If you ever need to turn them off due to performance issues, simply change the value back to false. Ensure all letters are lowercase and there are no extra spaces.
