Ben (Lead Dev) pushed a hotfix for that multiplayer issue. Should be clear now. Let me know though.

itry posted:Do you guys have any multiplayer stress tests lined up? We've done internal stress tests and synthetic tests where we boot several copies of the game and spawn in a poo poo pile of NPCs. We want to iron out some more stuff and maybe get the NAT punch through working before we start an actual big rear end stress test with real people. Other things need to happen like the world wrapping around instead of being infinite like minecraft. The OG lead dev who left the company loved minecraft so much that he based the whole thing around it despite Rho protestations. But, yeah, no wrap around doesn't translate well in 2d.

Yeah a wrap around seems more fitting and could result in more interesting and unique planets (or ecumenopoleis).

What about... Vertical wraparound? You dig far enough down and you start mining clouds and then falling from the sky. e: vvv .random fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Apr 8, 2021 |

the game map should be a hypercube

Infinite 2d map where you have a base to return to sounds... not-good idea,to be honest. Not looking forward to walking back 50 minutes to empty inventory and then treking forward another 50 to Keep finding new stuff.

I'm not going to lie, I'm not a giant fan of it myself but as far as consensus is concerned I'm outnumbered on this one.

Part of the reason building helevators and underground highways in terraria is satisfying is that you know the destination is known distance away (and that you will be using them to go to the same area on a later date thanks to hardmode world transition) but building for example a road or a railway to an infinite planet with only 2 axis... yea. I Honestly feel that Starbound had the right idea with circular worlds; and If you give each world 2 or 3 Z- levels you still have humongoys maps with the added benefit of accessing the different Z spaces from multiple locations allowing faster exploration with ”home” still remaining accessible distance away. This ofc depending on travel modes and overall game area; if there is only one world where the whole content needs to fit versus multiple worlds and space travel.

A world with a known size also lets you judge the number of NPC's that should be around. Less things to worry about with finite space.

It's super preliminary now, and while I don't disagree with opinions here -- I'm into seeing what the lead dev has in mind. It might come out cool. If not, we pivot and make poo poo circular, etc.

This might have been answered already but is there a way to play multiplayer??? *nudges you uncomfortably hard in the arm while maintaining eye contact the entire time*

Yup. Just port forward: 9999 and you can host the game no problem.

I've also never played this kind of game so I don't know if that's a total n00b question or something. Also I don't know what a port is. Also I don't want it to be forward with me.

Server Browser is coming in by way of the next build. As is you will need to directly connect with someone else.

My copy gets stuck at "spawning player" and never goes any further submitted bug report, look forward to it working. Edit: now over 13 minutes and the spinning triangle next to "spawning player..." has slowed to about to .5 rpm Edit 2: apparently this is only a problem with hard mode. Tried the default difficulty and it loaded in about 2 seconds. _____! fucked around with this message at 22:02 on Apr 10, 2021 |

I hosed around with this thing for like an hour. Dug a big fuckin hole covered with concrete, that's my super secret base. I got Buddy, Daisy, Jax, Paws, Jax and Tiny Toes. That's right, double Jax. The first thing on my wish list is a ladder. It would be nice to be able to move up and down without jumping on platforms. The second thing is to minimize the colonist list.
