Space Engineers tooling

These plugins ran alongside the GameHub web stack on a Space Engineers server operated mid-2024 – Mar 2026 (server now stopped). This page summarizes what the public repos contain—not current live game hosting.

Problem

Server operators needed in-game and Torch-side tools: inspect/delete grid blocks with ownership checks (SE_Grid_Manager README), and manage events, encounters, factions, stations, and custom spawning (SE_Event_Handler README).

SE_Grid_Manager — features at HEAD

• Torch + dedicated server plugins; client experience via Workshop/local scripted mod (Data/Scripts/SEGridManagerClient).
• Secure ModAPI messages for get-blocks, get-grids, block-delete.
• Optional Torch HTTP REST listener for external tools (README / PluginConfig).
• Git history on local clone: 2025.05–2026.04, 34 commits, 99 .cs files (~12.5k lines).

SE_Event_Handler — features at HEAD

• Client, Dedicated, and Torch plugin projects (README).
• Documented capabilities: event/encounter/faction/station management, custom spawning, Torch admin GUI.
• Harmony patches under Shared/Patches (e.g. MyPhysics.LoadData, MyLcdSurfaceComponent.UpdateVisibility, MyPlayerCollection.SendDirtyBlockLimits).
• Git history on local clone: 2025.04–2026.04, 49 commits, 54 .cs files (~5.0k lines).

Other public SE_* repos (Neura list)

Neura public non-fork list also includes SE_mod (upgrade/prime block mods; local git 2024.09–2025.11) and SE_Code_Tester. This case study focuses on Grid Manager and Event Handler; all four count toward the public SE_* metric.

Relation to GameHub

GameHub (game_hub_nest / gamehub-next) provided the HTTP/UI layer for the same SE server period. Plugin sources audited here do not hard-code api.snowmuffingame.com; Grid Manager’s HTTP API is configured locally on the game host (e.g. localhost:8080).
