Welcome to our Creator spotlight!

Continuing our series of Space Engineers Creator Spotlights with Linlinliu.

“Back in late 2023, after watching Melody’s mech videos, I decided to buy Space Engineers. I still vividly remember thinking, “If a sandbox game lets you build mechs like that, it can probably do everything I want. After a long newbie phase, I used the Python NPC movement framework I’d made for Minecraft as a base to create the first version of my “Smooth Control” script in July 2024, which I used to power a boxing robot.

A few days later, I built my first flying mech, and over the next months, I experimented with various vector aircraft and mechs using the script. 

By late 2024, I redesigned the flying mech’s look to match “Baiying”(a mech from an unreleased game) they were so similar it took just one night. With BLACKY’s suggestion, I added a BIG Cannon as its main weapon.

In early 2025, I built a life size Baiying mecha, but the vanilla rotors lacked enough torque for stable multi axis arms, so I started considering modded mechs.

I then tried making TR-6, a single block mod mech, but progress was slow as making game mods was new to me. On January 27th, I bought Space Engineers 2. Within five minutes, I saw its modded mech potential far exceeded my expectations, yet I knew I couldn’t pull it off then. Discouraged, I took a long break playing Minecraft.

I returned to Space Engineers in July, building the STRC Spider Mech inspired by Beiling Heavy Industry’s spider tank and testing new tech on its unreleased version. I’d planned to upgrade Baiying for the September survival update – but Squawks’ small mobile suit changed my mind. I made my own, painted in the Earth Federation colors, the rival of Zeon. 

And now, I’m adding an AI combat function to my script, allowing the mech to fight independently without a pilot.

This enables any player to engage in mech PvE battles with it in single player mode!”

	STRC-Mecha[117]-T (Spider Type Recon) This 60 ton standard sized reconnaissance mech is a mobile unit designed for complex terrains. Its mechanical leg structure allows it to resist rollovers, adjust automatically to slopes, and make short jumps, giving it good adaptability to rough landscapes. The omni-wheels at the end of each leg enable omnidirectional movement, aiding in tactical repositioning.

	Mobile Platform It can jump!
	5-D1 Unique Suspension System.
	Paladin Tank (From Titanfall 2) This is a tank I built a long time ago,It doesn’t have any flashy special features. ​The prototype was found in the multiplayer maps of Titanfall 2, it was a pale blue blueprint projection.
