The Sound Block is a block that can play included sound files, for example, play an alarm when a sensor detects an enemy.

Usage

Use this block to play alerts, informational messages, or simply music. Each sound block can be set to play one song, there is no playlist.

A sound block is different from the Jukebox from the Decorative Pack 2 DLC in so far as the Sound Block does not have an in-world user interface for engineers to select songs. Without the DLC, you could build a Jukebox out of (for example) Button Panels that trigger several Sound Blocks that have the individual songs configured.

How play a sound

1. Choose a Volume between 0-100%.
2. Choose a Range between 0-500 metres how far away the sound should be audible.
3. Now select either a sound or a loop from the list.
4. Set a Loop Time between 1-59 secs or 1-30 mins. This slider is only available if you have selected a loop.

Available sounds or loops

Spoken alerts:

• "Lights on!"
• "Lights off!"
• "Warning! Enemy detected!"
• "Objective complete."

Loops:

• Alert 1 - a klaxon
• Alert 2 - beepbeepbeepbeep (could also be a reversing truck)
• Alert 3 - a speaking voice ("Military Alert"?)
• Drone Small/Medium/Large/Huge - an industrial droning noise

Music:

Main article: Music

• Original sound track
• Sounds of Space Engineers Competition.

Trivia

There a only few sounds included, but if you're on Steam, you can saerch for sound mods to amend the list: Sound Block Sounds by --Kaos-- or Klaxons and Other Sounds for Sound Block

Construction

The block requires power to work. It exists for large and small grid and takes up a 1x1x1 blocks space.
