New Game Worlds Adrift

Mister White — Thu, 14 Feb 2019 00:19:34 +0000

Hi Folks

It had been a long time of being inactive with Space Engineers
I do stil enjoy sandbox games and i would like to continue with another game
I realy value the enjoyment we had with space engineers in the past
And i believe the community is what these games make great and sometimes nostagial.

This group and its Discords channel had been mainly being used for one game only and i wil be making some changes to make it suitable for other games aswel.
I do like to get in touch again even if some of you play completly different games

Whenever i find a awsome sandbox games i always look for others to play with
This is how this group got created, and so i would like to expand again on that thought.
Recently ive been very active with a game called Worlds Adrift
And i wil be looking for people to play with and use this group as a hub for that game.

With Friendly regards
Dennis

New Map for Server

Mild — Tue, 20 Feb 2018 00:09:19 +0000

Due to Issues noted Previously

We would like to create a new map without planets, as there are many issues assosiated with them.

We will be creating a poll Text Channel on the Discord Server ( https://discord.gg/xRh2WM ).
With a list of Questions with Yes/No options.

The options with the highest votes will be implemented.

Any ideas are welcome.

We wish to offer the best Experience, with the least amount of issues possible. We are still learning about what will work.

Thank you for your patients.

Server on maintenance

Mister White — Mon, 19 Feb 2018 10:01:53 +0000

Hi

I wanted to give a special heads up on the current state.
As you might have read we are having some performance issue and also the auto-update system isnt functional as intended.
And together with the server rolling back for no reason.

I have decided to taken our Survival World Offline.
I made a backup of the save so dont worry everything wil be restored.

At this moment i would like to let you know the server is stil online, but i loaded a different map for testing.

I copy/pasted everybodies stuff into a map without planets.
Meteors are on and cargo ships.
I did this because i want to monitor what happens the grids are the issue, when they get destroyed by meteors or get shot by enemy drones for example.

Feel free to have some fun, u can contact a GM to get your creations copy/pasted into the world.

In the mean time i can use our Survival Map on my local server from home for testing. and fixing.
I also need to contact our host to resolve the rollback and back-up issue's

So please be pacient with us, i realy want the server to perform at its best and make it enjoyable for everybody.

Server Performance

Mister White — Sat, 17 Feb 2018 22:10:03 +0000

Let me give it to you straight.

I have recieved lots of more complaints about the server performance.
I have tested some things and still am testing as I write this message.

And I made the following conclusion:
The player created grids are the issue
Adviced action: remove the player-grids

Of course, cleaning the server of player-grids is too drastic.
So I'm asking everybody to spread this message.

Lets make it our first Server-Rule!
Here it goes:

Server-Rule-1: Turn off all blocks except med-bay/cryo system before u logg off

Please check this topic for all information and updates regarding these issue's:

Server Migration

Mister White — Tue, 06 Feb 2018 10:07:46 +0000

Hello Space Engineers

I have monitored the traffic on our server for the past few months sinds we started and decided to downgrade the slots for the time being.

Also the server wil be migrated from Germany to London for better Ping connection.

This migration process wil not lose any DATA
The Ip-adres however wil change, so the old one wil no longer work after the migration and I wil post the new ip-adress somewhere everybody can find it!

The reason for the server migration is for better ping and reduce costs.
I can always add more slots if we have more active players on our server.

Secondly , we started playing Unturned last weekend and I really enjoy playing that, so im adding a second server for Unturned aswell.
If you have never heard about Unturned or played it , come and give it a try with us =)

See you in-game!

Lets try some mods again but now, one at a time!

Mister White — Mon, 29 Jan 2018 10:41:12 +0000

Alright I think most performance issue's are gone after removing the mods.

Lets try adding mods one at a time.

We can start with a very useful mining mods:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=681276386
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1242936603

Enjoy!

Ps. i have also posted the mods on the active mods topic
don't forget to use the discussions tab to post YOUR mod suggestions and requests.

Perhaps we can setup a weekly voting on which mods to add =)

And.....removed a bunch of mods

Mister White — Thu, 18 Jan 2018 11:05:56 +0000

As some of you might have noticed.
We have got some damaged creations because we added mods that add NPC encounters.

We want to enhance the PvE gameplay on the server, so there is more to do then just gather resources and build.

Mildmassacre removed them again last night because they seem to bring the servers sim-speed down and if a mod causes too much lag it is not worth keeping in our opinion.

Ofcourse we are open for new suggestions and mods to try out.
Post your mod suggestions here: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/FuturamaSpaceProgram/discussions/1/1620599015861500881/

And post your issue's about the server here:
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/FuturamaSpaceProgram/discussions/1/2549465882923285314/

Please be patient with us as we have to discover what works and what fails to work.
Sometimes issue can occurs instantly and sometimes it can take over a week or more for use to discover the issue.
So to get the server just the way we want we gonna have to do many try-outs

In the end we are playing together so everybody can post their idea's and suggestions in the discussion section of the steam group and we can share shape our plans together for the server.

Good luck!

Added a whole bunch of mods!

Mister White — Sat, 13 Jan 2018 09:03:07 +0000

Hey guys , I've added a lot of mods today and couple days before.
some work, other give glitches.

The mods I have added are only enhancement for the PvE experience, with a focus on exploration.

Exploration is the element that keeps us entertained long after we finished building our ships.

If u encounter anything weird, post a screenshot or the grid name if u can find that in-game.

special the grid name can help me investigate the issue.

Join the game and find out!

Server back online - but with last minute changes

Mister White — Wed, 10 Jan 2018 21:34:24 +0000

Server is back online, now with mods!
Also a couple of changes decided on last minute

Welding and grinding speeds set to x3 multiplier instead of realistic
mods enabled (2 mods excluded because they are too hard for starters
And also a new map.

So join the new game, find and join our factions and lets build a small camp where everybody can play cooperative to survive the hostiles!
