HUD Compass! - Space Engineers
20This is the HUD Compass mod for Space Engineers! Don't need to explain it but I will anyway for those sweet, sweet key words that YouTube wants in order for people to find this video, I'm actually amazed by how many views my channels so my bad description and tags must be doing something right.
It adds a compass to the top of your screen, it's fixed to your cross hair rather than you, pretty nifty right?

"Why Do I Need A Compass?
Not long ago a compass was a not really all that useful, but then the multiplayer patch dropped and suddenly you have a lot of people in one place, and they need coordinating. This is pretty easy in space, you just say what your looking at and everyone looks around until they find it, there isn’t all that much stuff there to get confused by. But on a planet, there is quite a bit of stuff, just saying “The same way as the mountain” or “Towards the lake over there” is sure to get a least a few people confused, especially if they are some distance from you and therefore seeing different scenery. Now this is where the compass comes in! With a compass you can just say which direction your looking, and then everyone knows where your looking. Simple ;)
How It Works:
This compass works by figuring out which direction your character is looking and doing a bunch of math to find the direction relative to the planet that you are facing. It then shoves that on your HUD using Text HUD API. Its important to note that it calculates from your character, therefore the direction your crosshair is pointing is what the compass is telling you. So, it won’t work looking about with ALT or in spectator camera. Its also a bit hard to read if you’re on an angle or upside-down, because it assumes your aligned with gravity."
