@animeloverzxy3 Just load it up.. There is nothing wrong with the world or the scripting used it wont hurt anything... You will be running it local.. Whips converter does still work as I use it but I have it directly downloaded to my rig. I use it quite abit... Oh @shadow trace could you send me the files you used so I may have a back please and thank you...

The images are not done with mods, they are just text on a standard lcd screen, There are no mods needed for this world to work.

The images where converted from pixels to font characters via a 3rd party app then pasted into the LCD screens as normal text. When the font is set to mono-space from the drop down menu, the characters act like pixels giving you a low-res image with out mods.

This is the app I used:
Whips image to LCD converter: https://forum.keenswh.com/threads/tool-whips-image-to-lcd-converter.7393443/

FYI: This map is very old and may not work as intended due to changes made to the game over the years.

I have no clue, I just don't trust scripts and don't know how to use them either, but still want to be able to experience this world as it was intended

I can send you the psd files if you want, is there a peculiar one you want?
animeloverzxy3 11 May @ 12:22am 
is there any way to be able to see the signage without getting scripts? or mods from outside the workshop?

I said I was never going to do this one.. But since request have came in for the last couple of years..

I am now updating this.. This will take some time..
This is a cool build.

Props to the author's on this one it is a classic.
So here I am requesting permission to take this over and update it.
Thank you all and much respect.

A shame this old chestnut was never updated.

You should update this station and make the city airtight.
Dan.Drummer 25 Sep, 2022 @ 1:53pm 
Ahoy Shadow, could you upload your pictures from the farside station somewhere else? Unfortunately, the link in the steam workshop is no longer valid, best regards *wave*

For some reason this mod file keeps downloading as a .bin file, so I can't use it in offline.
Captain Redbeard 29 Apr, 2022 @ 3:59am 
much appreciated ;)
Me and some guys are currently working on getting a dedicated server going that runs it. I'll send you the details if you like
shadow trace  [author] 28 Apr, 2022 @ 12:15pm 
@Captain Redbeard, I will have to check it out and get back to you, I've added a link to the scenario above in the description for you.
Captain Redbeard 25 Apr, 2022 @ 9:25am 
This is a really awesome build. I've fallen in love with it. It's rare for a build to hold up so well, even in the latest version of Space Engineers.

I've actually used this station as a battleground in a scenario I've built using the Visual Scripting Tool. It's called Battle for Farside Station, which uses some of the workshop's most popular collections. Would love to hear your thoughts on it.

sggutarist21, any particular one's?
I'm building a LCD skin pack at the moment so I can add them into the mod, if i haven't already
sggutarist21 11 Feb, 2022 @ 10:00am 
hey shadow trace. the link to the images dosent appear to work anymore. Id love to use them for other projects! Thanks!

so great !

Dang it ..thank you for the info.. that size of asteroid would have been perfect for the rather large ship hangar I need..
Again thank you.
shadow trace  [author] 3 Nov, 2021 @ 1:09pm 
The spawn menu has change since we did this.
Unfortunately I don't think it's possible to create an asteroid like that any more, I might be wrong.
shadow trace  [author] 3 Nov, 2021 @ 12:34pm 
@ATF_Coldblooded Carebear,
It was from the spawn menu, an asteroid seed, Millatornn went through 100's before finding the right one.
ATF_Coldblooded Carebear || 2 Nov, 2021 @ 8:43pm 
@shadow trace can I ask you a question?
Was the asteroid pregenerated using the spawn menu or a it’s a workshop created one…?? If it’s a workshop one can you tell me where I can find it?
shadow trace  [author] 26 Jul, 2021 @ 1:02am 
Thanks TenTech, The game has developed a lot since this was built ,
TenTech 25 Jul, 2021 @ 5:22am 
New Game, then Workshop. It's a world file, not a blueprint, so you can't just paste it into an exiting save.

Bear in mind that the build is three years old, so some elements may not work as intended. Still a cool build, though.
HighPriorityToast 24 Jul, 2021 @ 6:58pm 
how do i load this, sorry this is kind of a stupid question
RandomGuy0400 19 Mar, 2021 @ 11:05am 
uhh, pretty sure that complaints department breaks some laws about the illegal use of Mass Accelerator Cannons... and the use of organic beings as projectiles... and improper disposal of corpses. also, your residential district seems to be un-pressurized... which in itself wouldn't be much of an issue, if any of the buildings had airlocks... how are customers supposed to eat at the cafe when taking of their helmet results in death? they cant take their food home, because the hotel isn't pressurized either! and don't even get me started on the 'club'...

all that said, i really like the design and backstory of this station, and it's still way better than the station we got as a world from the "sparks of the future" expansion...
I'd love to see this remastered with the new blocks, and maybe even a separate version that uses the dlcs.
α¯\_(ツ)_/¯Ω 11 Feb, 2021 @ 1:08pm 
come to me :D i give you admin and make u Marschal, i like the station too ... so good work so many idears ...
shadow trace  [author] 11 Feb, 2021 @ 11:51am 
I loaded it the other day too, it needs so much work,
α¯\_(ツ)_/¯Ω 11 Feb, 2021 @ 1:36am 
iv install this on my server, runs good - Clang of Liberty
Chloe widow 10 Jan, 2021 @ 8:58pm 
love this .x
TenTech 24 Jun, 2020 @ 12:54pm 
It would be interesting to see this remade with the coming update...
In a Haze 8 Sep, 2019 @ 7:50pm 
Will do, thanks!
shadow trace  [author] 8 Sep, 2019 @ 6:13am 
@OverThinker, no problems, give me a shout if you need any help,
In a Haze 8 Sep, 2019 @ 4:08am 
So I came up with a really cool PvP game mode that would work really well with this station. If I finalized it and advertised it (just to get people to play it, not for any kind of monetary gain if that even was a thing), would you be ok with that? I'd give credit for the world of course.

Agreed Stone
Snail 30 Aug, 2019 @ 1:14pm 
With the new economy update I hope this gets used for a life/rp server.
REAPER 28 May, 2019 @ 5:00am 
@Shadow Trace Agreed!
In a Haze 27 May, 2019 @ 12:43pm

shadow trace  [author] 27 May, 2019 @ 12:40pm 
LoL, some things are best left the way they are :)
In a Haze 27 May, 2019 @ 11:15am 
With the new deco pack, you can finally properly decorate every... single... room....
REAPER 17 May, 2019 @ 2:32am 
I cant even run this that well my slightly old PC keep spiking every few seconds, not sure if people with high specs also have this as it is one heck of a build/world but oh my....from what i seen this has to be easily in the top 5 best SE worlds ever made hands down! nice work feels like a real living city in space xD
Shuyuin 12 May, 2019 @ 5:44am 
I would have never thought that nor suggested it, but I will keep you in mind for my next "weddings, birthdays, funerals, bah mitzvahs or a special occasion that demands a clown", particularly if "cheeky innuendos" are required
Hugh Manatee 11 May, 2019 @ 7:51am 
@Shuyuin. Oh? Funny, you say? What? Do you think I'm a clown? I am here to amuse you? Well? Do you? Is that what you think? I ask because I'm available for weddings, birthdays, funerals, bah mitzvahs or a special occasion that demands a clown. My specialities are whimsical balloon manipulations and cheeky innuendos. You supply balloons. And, pay my bar tab. Don't ask why. It's a clown thing. Reasonable and unreasonable rates available.

Anyway, pleased I could help. Normally, I'm a bastard. You lucked out. =P
Shuyuin 11 May, 2019 @ 5:39am 
That was funny haha, thanks for the suggestion, I will give it a try!
Hugh Manatee 10 May, 2019 @ 9:26pm 
@shadow trace. Much obliged. Happy to help, especially for this d/l.

My mother always said I am as clever as I am handsome. Either this means I look like that dude who plays Thor or that dude from Notre-Dame with the congenital spine and a bell ringing fetish. Which one is my doppelganger? I hear you ask. No doubt a man who looks that dude who plays Capt America will be clever enough to figure out the correct one.

And, yes. You're correct. I only said congenital earlier because it has a genital in it. So. Sue me. =P
shadow trace  [author] 10 May, 2019 @ 6:14pm 
That's a good idea @byte me
Hugh Manatee 10 May, 2019 @ 5:07pm 
@Shuyuin. Perhaps this could work? Look for an asteroid with a huge cavern inside and place it in one. Then go spectator and use a voxel at its biggest setting and mine away any part of the asteroid that's in the way. Anyway, thought I'd suggest it. Hope it helps. This station remains my favourite SE workshop d/l by far. It's awesomely jaw-dropping. =P
