Keen Software House has released the highly anticipated Economy 2 update for Space Engineers, now available across all platforms. This free update introduces the largest economy overhaul in the game's history, transforming NPC trade stations into active hubs, adding a Services Terminal for grid storage, repair, and salvage, and revamping the economy interface. Players can now store and redeploy entire ships or vehicles, repair damaged grids, and sell unwanted grids for Space Credits. The update also expands contracts and mission types, including Courier, Search, PvE Bounty, Hauling, Salvage, Item Recovery, and Grid Recovery, while removing Escort contracts and rebalancing payouts for better rewards. Seventeen new station prefabs and 43 updated ship prefabs have been added, along with animated NPCs in trade stations to enhance immersion. Other additions include large-grid Structural Blocks, improved Safe Zones, expanded controller customization, and inventory improvements. Space Enginee
