Creator Spotlight: MTGraves

14/03/2025

Welcome to our Creator spotlight!

Continuing our series of Space Engineers Creator Spotlights with MTGraves.

“I found my way to Space Engineers back in 2017 after stumbling onto a Youtube video showcasing the game. I started modding Space Engineers in early 2021 after losing my job thanks to Covid. I found myself with a lot of free time on my hands and decided that I wanted to contribute to the gaming community. I had modding experience with other games, but I had zero experience with 3D modeling.

So, with that free time, I taught myself Blender, joined the KEEN discord and have been creating Space Engineers content ever since. My approach to modding has been to create content for both PC and console players to enjoy, but most of all, it has been to provide content that’s easy to use and looks professional.

I created my first 2 mods -Naval Prop Pack- & -Rebel Thrusters- because at the time, I felt that there just weren’t a lot of options for exterior ship decorations nor small grid thrusters. Since then, my thoughts behind creating mods have been “I’d like to have this,” player requests like my recent -MKII Artillery Turret-, or just for fun like my -Astro Droid Pack-.

My time modding Space Engineers has provided me with new skills and a new passion in 3D modeling, so I’d like to say thanks to the loads of community members that have helped me along the way and thank you to the Devs for providing a platform where I could be creative.”

Nite Owl Naval Theme Prop Pack

This is mostly a décor pack offering a variety of Naval inspired Antennas, Radar Domes, Scanners, and Communication Dishes.

Also included are a few Thruster blocks that I wanted to use in my own builds so I added them in this pack.

Artillery MKII Turret -Goliath-

This mod item was commissioned by Fade-Sevar who requested a heavy WWII style turret that looked like an upgrade to the existing artillery turret.

NiteOwl Astro Droids

This asset mod adds some familiar Droids as Small Grid Repair system, utilizing the vanilla ship welder system to make basic repairs on the go!

Currently the base/ seat for the Droids match the shape of the small grid fighter cockpit, a second design is in the works.

Nite Owl Rebel Thruster Pack

A thruster pack to help fight the oppressive hand of any Empire!

The models are not completely accurate to SW versions, this due to a few reasons one being to make them fit SE aesthetics and builds better.

NiteOwl Imperial Thruster Pack

A thruster pack made for you to show off the power of your empire!

The models are not completely accurate to SW versions, this due to a few reasons one being to make them fit SE aesthetics, easier to use in builds, and game engine restrictions.
