During my Admin Duty on the WASD Games Server i've encountered people trying to interfere with play by digging out Resource Veins before any Auto-Miners have been placed there, then Auto-Miner Users are forced to trial & error guess where to place them to find them. Auto-Miners work on Resource Veins even after they've been Manually Mined Out, but many still haven't learned about this & still get riled up over conflict over Auto-Miner Use vs Manual Mining.

Then it hit me... Those Resource...

Hey folks,

I've been looking for the Xenu Shipyards in orbit of Zeyhines for quite some times now (almost an hour), and still nothing. Been turning around the planet, went above and below. I'm at a loss...
Can somebody confirm it's even there since last update ? and give me a clue where to look for ? Space is big...
Thanks !

Hey folks!

With 5.0 we added a new set of "Civil Settlement POIs". We are curious how you like them and what is your primary use at the moment.

There has been mention of teleportation ideas floating around and I just wanted to give my take on this topic.

BA and CV Teleportation link

Create a new BA and CV block. The player can teleport between a base and a capital ship so long as they are in the same planet area. A player cannot teleport from a base on planet Akua to a CV orbiting Omicron.

Balance:
The player needs to create a base on the planet. they cant just warp in to a new planet...

The planet itself tends to be pretty spooky. I like the feel of it. My problems with the planet are that it is so hard to see the textures. Things are really pale and dark. The glowing plants are so cool. I would like to see more types of glowing plants and water plants as well. In general it just feels hard to see there. Too much fog makes it so that you cant look at any textures really. I would suggest taking a better look at this world and adjusting some values and giving it a little...

Please add the option to the Control panel to sort by various options, the most important being at the very least an auto alphabetical sort. It's very frustrating having to look through a long list of cargo boxes to find the group of same boxes.

Hello everyone,

I suggest to devide the techtree to some levels.

Basic level:
Would be in player's PDA, as we have now. There would be basic survival devices craftable at Survival and Large Constructors. Do not need anything except Unlock Points and player level for unlocking.

Advanced level:
This researches would be able in new device Tech Station (Power supply needed. Placeable at BA/CV). Here we would unlock a rare ores refining, Advanced...

Not a deal breaker but being a graphic designer I find using the exact same colors over and over a bit boring.

Their is so much potential with that tool, like the ability to enter in your own custom color codes. This could unlock endless creativity visually.

Even a basic circle color wheel selector that could take the place of 4 color squares. Adding the ability to save your color in an empty 'slot' on page 2 would be the topper of it.

If this has been suggested, my...

I have been trying to create a little city and it would be nice if both FIXED and RANDOM POI's could be used in the YAML. This would create a more dynamic playfield with resets and make for some very kewl playfields.

Have the fixed populate first, then have the random POI's placed.

Hoping to see an option in the future ....

Please do not add planes to the game as they are now. To compete with SV's you will have to nerf their game play. This is a big step back IMO. It's like telling the modern military to to stop using their jet fighters and go back to biplanes because they are more efficient. The way they are being implemented now there is little discretion in how they can be built and this hampers the games creative spirit. If you intend to implement them, then please look at a few suggestions.

I got some ideas on how to make the game hard

1- Water requirement to survive. Player needs to drink water.
2- Drone waves get harder over time. Larger amounts of drones come.
3- Large alien creatures that can destroy blocks including hover tank, and bases.
4- Alien vessels not just drones that can attack your base.
5- Alien Troops break into your base and make it theirs or try to anyways. If they succeed the player can take it back as a personal quest.
6- troop transport...

Thought I'd make a thread for folks to post their daily happenings. If mods would rather not have this thread, feel free to delete it/whatever



Today (or last night rather) I finally ventured beyond Akua's atmosphere and decided to check out a nearby planet, which turned out to be the Omicron Moon.

Saw a little base and decided to investigate. What I didn't expect was for 4 turrets and at least as many drones to destroy my poor little SV, leaving me stranded on the Moon.

I decided...

Would it be possible to get the functionality of allowing a HV/SV that's set to Private to dock with a CV that's set to Private if the owners are in the same faction?

Also, the Medic Station, weapon turrets, and mining turrets could use the ability to set an access code

I host mining/exploration expeditions for my faction members utilizing my CV, but I do not want unfettered access to my ship, so I have the CV set to Private with certain internal doors set to a code, along with needed...

Unsurprisingly I'm concerned with improving my spaceship design, but I welcome other stuff too.

I've done a bit better than space boxes, I might say advanced box designs. Boxes with some slopes or something. I've got one or two designs at most I really like. Other than that, I struggle to make my hill shapes visually interesting. I feel like the good ones I have are either copies or I blindly stumbled on them.

So I'm throwing my question out here to all, because I know there are some...
