News and Updates related to TBU and TBU Servers
TBU Minecraft is back
10 years ago
The TBU Minecraft server is back online. I have downgraded it to a 10 slot server and converted it to run the current version of Tekkit.
Currently its not that much more to maintain the server with the existing Mumble server, and since there has been some interest in maintaining the server I decided to downgrade the server and convert it than cancel it.
If the server population ever increases I will raise the server’s slots as needed.
Have fun Building!

Space Engineers [1.067] – Voxel Hands and Terminal Weapon Control
10 years ago
Bit late on the update this week. I wanted to give Space Engineers plenty of time to do hotfixes. There was a bug on initial patch release that would delete stuff. If there are any issues I have backup the world, so it can be recovered to today if need be.
This updated adds Voxel Hands to creative, and the ability to control weapons through a terminal. They have also addressed some of the crashing issues that players have had with the game. I am assuming the issues with items deleting when they are not supposed to is due to trying to fix cargo ships not deleting.
Patch Notes
Features
– Voxel Hands (creative mode only)
– Add weapon actions to block toolbars (timers, sensors)
– Changed the key combination for exporting a model: CTRL+ALT+E
– Programmable block: improved code editor performance; code is now limited to 50.000 characters
Fixes
– fixed character instantly dying after respawn
– fixed crash in programming block when using tuples
– fixed crash with duplicate character ID
– fixed texture issues on timer block, suspension wheels
– fixed various text typos
– fixed gravity field slider showing incorrect values
Update 01.067.007
– extended limit for programmable block to 100 000 characters
– fixed mods execution before session init
– fixed things being deleted randomly in worlds
Space Engineers [1.066] – GPS and Text Screens
10 years ago
GPS, we all pretty much saw this one coming. This was a needed feature with unlimited space. They also added “Text Screens”. Basically a object you can store text one, but the item will not display the text unless you use the item. Hopefully they will have it display later on.
Also, due to the continual issue with landing gears, I added a Magnetic Plate mod. This will work for creating a landing deck for your ships. Just dont forget to turn the ships off when you park them so they dont fight the movement of the larger ship.
Patch Notes:
Features
– GPS – create, send, receive and manage GPS coordinates in the game
– text panel block
– mod sorting (filtering)
Fixes
– fixed cargo ships not despawning
– fixed API AddPlayerToFaction does not sync
– fixed Entities not InScene create a light source at origin
– fixed some existing button panels get detached
– fixed texture issues on wheel blocks
Update 01.066.015
– fixed exception when exporting files
– fixed issue when Gravity Generator SetValue works only once per script
– changed shortcut for exporting a model to: CTRL+ALT+E (previously CTRL+E)
– fixed world corruption and crash caused by audio
