The Jukebox is a decorative block from the "Decorative Blocks Pack #2" DLC. This block has an interface from which players can play music from a selection of songs included in the game.

Usage[]
The physical interface has three buttons, previous song, play/pause, next song, and a built-in display that shows messages or the name of song playing. Players aim at the buttons and LMB-click or press 'F' to push the selected button.
Construction[]
If you have the DLC and have Progression enabled, you need to build other blocks first to unlock It: Basic Assembler -> Interior Light -> Corner LCD -> Sound Block -> Jukebox.
This very affordable block is 1x1x1 blocks in size and only exists for large grids. The block needs power to work.
Adding Songs to the Playlist[]
After building, the display shows the message: "No tracks available. Select tracks to play in Terminal screen." So before (non-owner) players can play music, the owner has to select songs.
- Aim at the display and press 'K' to open the control panel.
- Choose a Volume between 0-100%.
- Choose a Range between 0-500 metres how far away the sound should be audible.
- Repeat the following for each song that you want to include in the selection:
- Select a song from the list (or a loop).
- (For loops only:) Set a Loop Time between 1-59 secs or 1-30 mins. This slider is only available after you have selected a loop.
- Click Add to Selection.
- Close the Terminal.
This is now the selection of songs that can be played by pressing the buttons on the Jukebox in game.
Removing Songs From the Playlist[]
To delete added songs from the selection:
- Aim at the display and press 'K' to open the control panel of the Jukebox.
- Scroll down to the Selected Sounds list.
- Select a song, and click Remove Selected.
- Close the Terminal.
Removing a song does not delete it from the game, it just does not include it in the selection anymore.
Available songs[]
- Main article: Music
You can add songs to the playlist from the original sound track, the Sounds of Space Engineers 2021 contest, and the Sounds of Space Engineers 2023 contest.
The song list also contains the Sound Block's short spoken alerts ("Lights on!", "Enemy detected!", and similar) and loops (sirens and droning noises) that you can select, but they don't make much sense for use in a Jukebox.
Related Blocks[]
The Inset Entertainment Corner is a DLC block with similar functionality.
The non-DLC Sound Block can play the same songs and you can set up a button panel to start and stop playing the Sound Blocks. But Sound Blocks do not keep a list of selected songs (only one song per Sound block) and they have no built-in play/pause button.
