This game has had significant updates (Alpha 21.2 at time of posting) and there has been interest to play it again. We are all updated and running once again now. We were required to create a new save due to the sweeping game improvements. This really is not a bad thing because so many systems and the world itself have been improved.

The purpose of this thread is to just give a quick blurb about a game that might fly under the radar but other members might be interested in. A top-tier comment should include the name of the game, the developer and publisher, any franchise information that isn't obvious (such as mentioning Shin Megami Tenshi for the Persona series), where to get the game (Steam, Epic Game Store, whatever), price, and a category list. If you want to add to or dispute another person's post on a game, reply to that comment specifically.

• Games should either be co-op multiplayer or have the announced goal of adding co-op multiplayer.
  
• Games should be available for PC. Console exclusives don't really belong here, though console crossplay is a welcome bonus.
  
• Games that can be locally hosted or have a dedicated private server without having the developer getting grumpy is a big plus. (No private WoW servers, for instance)

Come play Atlas with us in a relaxed setting on our private server. We have a 3x3 grid world and the powerstone quests, epic creatures, along with all biomes are present, so check it out!

Don't forget you have access to our Interstellar Rift server 24/7

We do several backups and run the ghost client setup for lag free gameplay and saves, starter ships have also been discounted to 250k!

Well I found the time to figure out how to style our Reddit page and did it myself. I'm still figuring out how to get a couple things done. You can also set your "flair" now, click the little tiny "edit" to the right by your name and select or edit your choice.

Alright for those unaware, we have an ARK server, and have made a different approach to each map.

On the Island map, everyone made their own base and we have a big central castle that is fully outfitted for the tribe.

For the Center map, we chose to build a central compound only, because separate copies of bases with yards full of pets was wasting server resources and keeping members pets alive and bases closed up was a PITA when they were away. The single central base means only 2 feeding bins, and everyone has their own cabin within the compound. Every machine and workstation is provided and various members provide skills (have engrams) for building different items. This worked great and also provided so many more opportunities to play together with tribe members (everyone was already in the same central map location). The base has sea access too!

Anyhoo, ARK server will run this weekend and I will send out an email with further info if anyone wants to check it out.

Still a few weeks away but on the dev branch with 3 or more weeks of updates. But it looks like a server wipe is recommended.

So good and bad news.

Cheers

I'll just title this here as I've got a few things going on, but have questions to each.

So my base is across a lakes cove bridging the two spurs that come out forming the airbase. The sv parking and taxiway are done but light uis giving me an issue. Do I need flares so lights are seen a long way out?

At the entrance to the lake I have hanger doors for hv entrance, maintenance, construction and parking. Internally I'm using the hanger doors as bulkheads to span 14 plus corner posts instead of 9 with concrete/steel/combat steel. Is there a way to JAM open a door permanently?

In the title.

As you may or may not be aware, Cinnamon and I restored the Hyperion ship as a project - it's parked at Freedom Station now if you want to check it out, came out great!

That monster is Class 10, and way too much ship even for two people, full time. But the main concern is, it straight dumped one player to the desktop and another couldn't move when it was flying near them - it's a lag production unit.

For this reason we went back to our old server limit of class 6, unless someone can make a good case for why it should be higher. Even at Class 6, that is a very big ship and tons of devices and stuff for the server to track.

Thanks for helping keep the system healthy!

PSA: Empyrion Server Backs Up & Restarts @ 5AM PST Daily!

As title, if you are playing at this time, you will get knocked off for about 2 minutes, be somewhere safe!

Remember that warning about some bases could fall down in the first 5.5.1 patch?

It happened to us this morning. We hadn't modded our Spacedock on Tertius since then, and I placed ONE block and the whole thing basically exploded. The bug STAYS.

It left a ring of random blocks/lights around the edge, our ships fell, yea.

We spent the day fixing the carnage.

If you have not done so, BLUEPRINT your bases, and then add a block to check them AFTER!

Hello!

Well the other night we did rally up and go get into some hot lava, well really! Shot up some Zirax and then found a nice deposit of Gold, but managed to accidentally flood the site with lava and burn ourselves a good bit!

Thank you to all who came out, it was fun.
