Ok boys and girls . I think I ' ve figured out how to disable the dust . It ' s a bit fiddly but it ' s worth it . 1 . Find the Particles . sbc file located in the '. SpaceEngineersContentData ' folder . Make a backup copy of this file ! 2 . Open the file in Notepad it ' s in XML fomat . 3 . Do the following ' Find ' searches in exactly this order SmokeDrillDust ParticleGeneration Namedust Version 2 ValueBooltrueValueBool 4 . Change ' true ' into ' false ' 15 . Save the file . And the mining dust is gone . Edit Just to clarify , at step 3 do each search separately . First search for ' SmokeDrillDust ' then ' ParticleGen . ' etc . You need to do this to make sure you ' re changing the correct ValueBool to false . <| sep |> Masato Shimon added lyrics to Meco Merando ' s disco version of Star Wars ThemeCantina Band .
