Space Engineers Utilities (SEUT) for Blender

SEUT is an addon for Blender that does a lot of things the Space Engineers game requires to be done a specific way automatically. It's an extremely helpful addon tool we should all be using to create blocks and animations.

Dude, this NEEDS to be pinned.
This is a massive help for someone like me that's just starting to get their feet wet with modding.

@Jack Schitt - You sir are a boon to this community, many thanks.

This is apparently what's hidden behind Discord's account wall. Dan2D3D posted it for us originally in another topic. I copied it and added some formatting. I'm planning to improve the OP text with other direct links in the near future.

The links have been updated to also include other very useful links relevant to modding this game other community members have shared somewhere I had access to to copy and include. The more I find or am informed of the more I'll add.

This info should be public for everyone to learn from.
Not locked / hidden behind requiring an account somewhere.

Whoever created this site and SEUT:
https://semref.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/tutorials/overview
Did a wonderful thing for anyone interested in modding Space Engineers.
It's rare to find these links via search because (for unknown reasons) the author of that site left things that act like magnets for search engines out of the code for the site.

Hi, the best would be to add it to the SE Guides link on top of the forum.

I can Pin it to the Workshop forum if it's Ok with you ?
