Space Engineers – Update 01.021.024: Survival mode and New Game Scenarios

Space Engineers update 01.021.024 has been released today. Survival mode is now available. This is the first version of the Survival mode. This means that there are going to be many fixes and optimizations within the upcoming updates until it comes to a more complete state.
This video tutorial demonstrates the basic functions of the Survival mode – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5PgmvtRHZU
