Welcome to our Creator spotlight!

Continuing our series of Space Engineers Creator Spotlights with Dread Mechanic.

“My journey in Space Engineers began about 5 years ago on my old Xbox One. One day while I was looking for some tutorials, I came across Black Armors mech videos and suddenly my whole perspective on the game was changed.

I spent a lot of time building my own mechs and working around the console limitations at the time then after about 2 years I eventually moved to PC. Once I had access to scripts I discovered I could start doing all sorts of interesting things with moving parts and I started uploading videos of my ideas to YouTube.

After my content started getting a bit of attention I noticed one of the regular themes in the comments was “I wish this was available on consoles”. It wasn’t long before Event Controllers turned up and I discovered I could replicate a lot of the scripts I was using.

And with changes made in the Contact Update it’s even easier to make mechs without using scripts, so now it’s my mission to develop vanilla mech technology that can be used on any platform.”

	Armored Core Mk 03 Angel Wings The Armored Core Mk 03 is an advanced combat mech that can be manually controlled, AI controlled or a remote operated. It’s control systems are 100% vanilla and use no scripts. Instead they use a complex series of Event Controllers, Timers, Sensors and various other blocks to control the mech.
	Ghost In The Shell: HAW-206 Mk 08 The HAW-206 is an 8th generation combat multiped “Think Tank”. It can be piloted manually, operated remotely or controlled by AI. It uses a series of Event Controllers & small Thrusters to trigger the forward & reverse walk cycles using keyboard or control pad inputs. It also uses a similar system including Gyroscopes and a Rotor to trigger the left & right turning.
	Kaiju Battle:Kiryu vs Mecha King Ghidorah This is my first Kaiju Battle World featuring Kiryu (aka Mechagodzilla) vs Mecha King Ghidorah. It has been designed with 1v1 multiplayer action in mind but you can still enjoy playing around solo.
	Tutorial \| Building Vanilla Mechs – Bipeds I will show you how to build vanilla mechs from the ground up. In this episode I will go through some of the different leg types and how to set up a basic walk cycle and manual control system.
	RTX 440 Mk 01 The RTX-440 Guntank Mk 01 is an advanced combat mech that can be manually controlled, AI controlled or a remote operated. Its control systems are 100% vanilla and use no scripts. Instead they use a complex series of Event Controllers, Timers, Sensors and various other blocks to control the mech.
