FAQ

Q: It says: *"Cannot place. You would exceed regulations..." * ...but I want to build more ! Why won't it work?

A: This can be a number of things I will cover in separate answers below:(edited)

1. You have exceeded your block limitations, you can check by hitting 'k' and going to the info tab. If it says 10000/10000 you need to ask an admin to be assigned more blocks.

2. You have exceeeded your grid limitations, you check the same way as number 1. You are probably trying to build something that is administratively prohibited on the server, but there are some exception see #roles  for more information.

3. You have exceeded a specific block limitation type, and you can check the same way as number 1. You will need to read through each line to see which block type you are exceeding the allowed amount.

Programmable blocks are the most strictly managed block.

Production blocks are more strictly managed due to the resources they take up.

Other blocks may also be prohibited for performance reasons, some less strictly than others.

If your block does not take a lot of resources and you have a good reason for having it increased, request from an admin it and it will be increased for everyone.

Q: I'm trying to connect to a connector, or just disconnected and now my ship won't move.

A: Your ship is glitched, it needs to be removed and placed back into the world by an admin. Request admin help.

Q: Why is my respawn ship dissapearing? A: This is normal, see #protips for how to save it.

Q: I'm trying to build an underground/in asteroid base and now I can't weld or grind. A: This happens, and is super annoying. There is a workaround in #protips to fix the problem.
