Space Engineers: Gameplay

The ship cockpit HUD, the toolbar screen and the build menu from the first Space Engineers game, in Russian, for quick lookup while playing. The game letters its Russian in a face with handwritten shapes, so the switcher at the top shows every line in print, italic or cursive. Tap the button to hear it.

Ship Cockpit

Space Engineers ship cockpit parked on a grassy planet, with the prompts Нажмите F, чтобы покинуть and Нажмите K, чтобы открыть панель управления корабля in the centre, the red ЭКСПЕРИМЕНТАЛЬНЫЙ РЕЖИМ banner top right, and the Russian HUD along the bottom

Cockpit Prompts

Нажми́те F, что́бы поки́нуть
Press F to leave (the seat)
  • нажми́те · Вы/plural imperative of нажа́ть (pf., "to press").
  • поки́нуть · Infinitive (pf., "to leave, to abandon"), after что́бы ("in order to");
    It normally takes a direct object. The game's own string is Нажмите {0}, чтобы покинуть {1}, where {1} is the name of the seat, and on this screen that slot came through blank, so the line ends on the verb.
  • Key names stay in Latin letters on the Russian HUD, and the key is shown in yellow.
Нажми́те K, что́бы откры́ть пане́ль управле́ния корабля́
Press K to open the ship control panel
  • откры́ть · Infinitive (pf., "to open"), after что́бы ("in order to").
  • ACC пане́ль · Dictionary пане́ль (fem., "panel");
    Direct object of откры́ть, accusative singular, which for a feminine noun in -ь is the same form as the nominative.
  • GEN управле́ния · Dictionary управле́ние (neut., "control, management");
    Genitive singular, modifying пане́ль: "panel of control", a control panel.
  • GEN корабля́ · Dictionary кора́бль (masc., "ship");
    Genitive singular, modifying управле́ния: "control of the ship". The stress leaves the stem for the ending in every form after the nominative.

Status & Warnings

Эксперимента́льный режи́м
Experimental mode (the red banner, top right)
  • NOM режи́м · Dictionary режи́м (masc., "mode");
    Head noun, nominative because it is a label.
  • NOM эксперимента́льный ("experimental") · Masculine singular, agrees with режи́м.
  • The banner is printed in capitals, ЭКСПЕРИМЕНТАЛЬНЫЙ РЕЖИМ. It is one of the game's red warning headings, alongside ПРОИЗВОДИТЕЛЬНОСТЬ ("performance") and СЦЕНА СЛИШКОМ СЛОЖНА ("the scene is too complex"), and Shift+F1, printed under it, opens the warnings.
Гаси́тели вы́ключены
Dampeners off (shortened to ВЫКЛ on the HUD, beside the Z key)
  • NOM Гаси́тели · Dictionary гаси́тель (masc., "damper, dampener"), from гаси́ть ("to put out, to damp");
    Nominative plural, the subject. The game's full name for them is гаси́тели ине́рции, "inertia dampeners".
  • вы́ключены · Short passive participle of вы́ключить (pf., "to switch off"), plural to agree with гаси́тели;
    ВЫКЛ is the game's one short form for "off" whatever it describes (вы́ключено, вы́ключены and so on), so beside гаси́тели it is read as the plural.
Иску́сственная гравита́ция
Artificial gravity (shortened to Иск. грав. on the HUD, reading 0.00g)
  • NOM гравита́ция · Dictionary гравита́ция (fem., "gravity");
    Nominative, a label. грав. on the HUD is short for it.
  • NOM иску́сственная ("artificial") · Feminine singular, agrees with гравита́ция;
    Иск. on the HUD is short for it. The game spells the full phrase out in its info panel, Иску́сственная гравита́ция.
  • Artificial gravity comes from the ship's gravity generator blocks rather than the planet, so 0.00g here means none of it is acting on you.
Натура́льная гравита́ция
Natural gravity (shortened to Нат.Грав. on the HUD, reading 1.00g)
  • NOM натура́льная ("natural") · Feminine singular, agrees with гравита́ция;
    Нат. on the HUD is short for it. The game spells the full phrase out in its own event text, Натура́льная гравита́ция.
  • This is the planet's own pull, and 1.00g is one Earth gravity. The game's English calls the same reading P-Gravity, for planetary, and its info panel says Планета́рная гравита́ция.
Кислоро́д: высо́кий
Oxygen: high (shown as O₂ Высок. at the bottom of the HUD)
  • NOM Кислоро́д · Dictionary кислоро́д (masc., "oxygen");
    The HUD writes it as the chemical symbol O₂, and the game's info panel spells the same reading out as Кислоро́д.
  • NOM высо́кий ("high") · Высок. on the HUD is short for it;
    The game never writes the ending out, so this page reads it as masculine, agreeing with кислоро́д. The other levels it can show are Низк. (ни́зкий, "low") and Нет ("none").
  • It is the oxygen in the air around you, not the reserve in your suit, which is the O₂ bar on the left.
Тепло́
Warm (the temperature reading, bottom right)
  • тепло́ · Predicative adverb, "it is warm";
    Russian states a temperature impersonally, with no subject at all: тепло́, хо́лодно ("it's cold"). Other readings the game can show include Комфо́ртно ("comfortable") and Жара́ ("heat").
Два́дцать два часа́
22 hours (shortened to 22 ч. beside the battery icon)
  • GEN часа́ · Dictionary час (masc., "hour");
    Genitive singular, because a number ending in два, три or четы́ре takes the genitive singular. After those three numbers it is stressed on the ending, часа́, while the ordinary genitive is ча́са.
  • два́дцать два · "Twenty-two";
    ч. on the HUD is short for the counting form of час, so it changes with the number: 21 час, 22 часа́, 25 часо́в.
  • How long the ship's stored power lasts at the current draw.

Controls & Toolbar

Переключи́ть HUD
Cycle the HUD, Tab (shortened to Перекл.HUD on screen)
  • переключи́ть · Infinitive (pf., "to switch, to toggle"), used bare as the label for a control;
    Перекл. on screen is short for it. The game's string key is CycleHUD, and Tab steps the HUD through its layouts.
  • HUD stays in Latin letters in the Russian game. Players usually just say it as a word, худ.
Настро́ить пане́ль инструме́нтов
Customize toolbar, G (opens the screen on the Toolbar tab)
  • настро́ить · Infinitive (pf., "to set up, to configure"), used bare as a control label.
  • ACC пане́ль · Dictionary пане́ль (fem., "panel");
    Direct object of настро́ить, accusative singular.
  • GEN инструме́нтов · Dictionary инструме́нт (masc., "tool");
    Genitive plural, modifying пане́ль. Пане́ль инструме́нтов, literally "panel of tools", is the ordinary Russian word for a toolbar.
Цвет
Colour, P (the paint colour label at the right of the toolbar)
  • NOM Цвет · Dictionary цвет (masc., "colour");
    Nominative, a bare label. The game's string key is PaintColor: the colour new blocks are painted.
Включено́
On (shortened to Вкл under toolbar slot 3)
  • включено́ · Short passive participle of включи́ть (pf., "to switch on"), neuter singular, the default form for a state label;
    Вкл on the toolbar is short for it.
Вы́ключено
Off (shortened to Выкл under toolbar slots 1 and 9)
  • вы́ключено · Short passive participle of вы́ключить (pf., "to switch off"), neuter singular;
    Выкл on the toolbar is short for it. A perfective verb with the prefix вы- always stresses the prefix, which is why it is вы́ключено but включено́.
