Space Credits (SC) are an in-game currency introduced with the Economy Update. The currency symbol is SC, and colloquially some also call them spacebucks. SC are the second of the currencies in space engineers, the other currency is PCU.

You can use Economy-related blocks, and use SC currency and SC bank accounts, independent of whether you have bought the Economy Deluxe Pack DLC.

Bank Accounts

Each Space Engineers has an individual bank account that you automatically connect to when interacting with Economy blocks. The main Economy blocks are the Store and Contracts Blocks, and there are also DLC blocks such as the ATM and the Vending Machine. Here you can check your account balance, and deposit or withdraw SC currency. If the player dies, the personal account remains unaffected.

Faction members additionally have a second, shared bank account that is managed through the Faction screen only. All faction members can deposit and withdraw money, so be careful whom you invite into the faction.

If you are a server admin (or you are the default admin of your singleplayer game), you can use the Admin Screen to check any player's account balance, and you can even increase or decrease the balances of individual players.

Physical Currency

A pile of physical space credits, the currency of Space Engineers

When you withdraw money, it turns into a stack of physical Space Credit items in your inventory. These items weigh <0.01kg and have a volume of 0.01L, which means you are practically not limited in how many you can carry.

You can:

• drop and pick up Space Credit items
• withdraw them from or deposit them into bank accounts
• conveyor or place them into inventories (such as  Beds).

Space Credits will be "garbage collected" if they remain floating objects, and the items can be destroyed in explosions or crashes.
