Description
These are completely self-building/repairing modular blueprints designed for optimal utility in survival using only vanilla blocks that work great with Digi’s Realistic Thrusters mod.

These blueprints have:
  • Only vanilla blocks.
  • Centralized and aligned centers of mass, cargo mass, thrust, artificial mass and connectors so that they work great with Digi’s Realistic Thrusters mod, gravity acceleration drives and when connected to other grids with rotors, landing gear, connectors, pistons or wheels.
  • A minimal amount of components which makes them cheap and low mass so as to give a high acceleration with minimal energy, gold and platinum spending.
  • Low mass and a centralized placement of heavy components such as gyros to ensure optimal gyroscope utilization for a high angular acceleration per massive gyroscope.
  • Integrated welders progressively building and supplying each other in a chain completely building (and repairing) the blueprint when started from a connected grid with a “dock” consisting of a connector, merger block, projector and welder.
  • No reliance on hand welding or welder ships so that you get fabulous building speeds with minimal effort!
  • No moving factory parts so that stuff won’t explode in your face!
  • One or more standardized connect/merge/build-port so that the blueprints can be detached and attached in a completely modular fashion.
  • The originating blocks of the blueprints placed in front of the standard projector placement so that only the forward offset of the projectors have to be increased when the blueprints are built or repaired.

The Self-Building blueprints are subdivided into:
  • Utility crafts are optimized for one environment/mode of locomotion and are used to transport and make use of add-ons and stations. Each utility craft has a projector that lets it build other blueprints from its main port and back or side ports to let it dock with additional stations or add-ons.
  • Add-ons are tools used by utility crafts and stations for specific tasks when needed such as drill heads and jump drives. Having these tools as add-ons frees up one ship for many different tasks saving you the cost of building multiple ships when only one is needed at a time. Add-ons are listed below.
  • Station modules have one distinct task such as storage or refining so that you only build what you need. These station modules can be moved about by the utility crafts when needed so the container for example could be used to transport goods in to space with the rocket. Alternatively when building the module the blueprint can overlap with the end of a station to make one rigid station without intermediate docking stations which is often preferable for base stations.
  • Ion warships are massive space ships moved with a few ion thrusters and an internal gravity acceleration drive. They are armed with rows of turrets built and repaired by an external skeleton of welders and have a well protected interior encased in heavy armor which at all points is repaired from the inside. All the essential and most expensive parts among which are the jump drive, cargo containers and gravity acceleration drive are in the well protected interior of the ships ensuring cost effective exchanges. Having multiple modes of locomotion, redundant and decentralized reactors/gyroscopes, superb armor and in-battle automatic repairing/rebuilding with the internal welders/projector give these ships high survivability.
  • Jet warships are massive air ships moved with a few small atmospheric thrusters and three internal large atmospheric thrusters. They are armed with rows of turrets built and repaired by an external skeleton of welders and have a well protected interior encased in light armor (except for three small holes for the thrust jets) which at the sides, front and back is repaired from the inside. All the essential and most expensive parts among which are the thrusters that keep the ships in the sky are in the well protected interior of the ships ensuring cost effective exchanges. Having redundant and decentralized reactors/gyroscopes, superb armor and in-battle automatic repairing/rebuilding with the internal welders/projector give these ships high survivability.
