Current version: 1.2b

This mod adds a number of blocks to the game which previously were only available in large grid versions. They all have full custom models in the standard Space Engineers style and their output has been balanced to levels that correspond to their size in comparison to their large grid counterparts.

8 Small Grid Blocks
More blocks might be added in the future but as always I'll be carefully considering which blocks to add and try to keep the number as low as possible.
- Small Grid Basic Assembler
- Small Grid Basic Refinery
- Small Grid Jumpdrive
- Small Grid Gravity Generator
- Small Grid Bed
- Compact Passenger Seat
- Compact Pilot Seat

- The Small Connector is currently able to connect to the normal size connectors. We hope to change this in the future with a custom script to prevent them from connecting.
- Note that there might be compatibility issues with any other mod adding small grid versions of the above blocks. The mod order in your savegame will determine which takes precendence and thus appears as a pair with each of their large grid equivalents but all of them should be listed if you use the search in the G menu.
- I've included compatibility with AQD - Vanilla Tech Tree, so it should integrate seamlessly.

- AryxErin - Comissioned to create most of the models for this mod, and did once again an amazing job. You should definitely check out her other mods!
