How To Limit the Maximum Number of Active Grids per Player in Space Engineers

Note:

While vanilla Space Engineers does not have a single configuration line specifically named “Max Ships,” administrators effectively limit the number of active grids a player can own by enforcing strict Block Limits and PCU (Performance Cost Unit) Limits on a Per-Player basis.

7. Enforce Per-Player Limits

Scroll through the text file or use Ctrl + F to locate the following three variables. You will need to adjust all three to properly limit how much a single player can build.

Enable the Limits Find <BlockLimitsEnabled>. Ensure it is set to restrict individuals by changing it to: <BlockLimitsEnabled>PER_PLAYER</BlockLimitsEnabled>

Lower the Block Limit Find <MaxBlocksPerPlayer>. The vanilla default is usually around 100,000. Lower this drastically so players are forced to grind down old grids if they want to build new ones. <MaxBlocksPerPlayer>15000</MaxBlocksPerPlayer>

Lower the PCU Limit Find <TotalPCU>. This determines the performance budget. Lowering this will stop players from mass-producing weaponized drones or heavily script-reliant grids. <TotalPCU>25000</TotalPCU>
