    If you're going to add the generator in the editor, it's probably best to add it as a broken generator, then repair it.  In a local SP game, any new "blank" PB will simply assign to the player that picks it up.  In an online MP game, however, they don't assign when picked up.  The only way to force it to assign in MP is for that player to repair it from a broken generator.

    You can only repair it if it is yours. As in, it spawns in your inventory. That's why you have to delete your character.  You can't just pick up random barriers and have them work for you.

    I highly doubt it.  I expect Nitrado will get the server files from BI, which they clearly have since they are renting servers.

    The files are no longer available for end users to download.  Given that these files never made it out of beta and were always buggy I doubt the files we as users had access to are even the same as what BI is using for renting servers.

    They clearly haven't since it has been said that they aren't ready,  and I can not load my game and get it working.

    And to your second point, I think you are right because they have always worked.


  3. Maybe if the destroy/break option was not hidden. 

    The personal inventory is ridiculously small. Clothing that is being worn and items in the hotbar should not tale uo inventory space. 

    We need a toolbelt that holds all weapon and tools and only takes up one slot.

    As someone who just found about this game yesterday.

    Reading the Steam Reviews, and other various sources.

    Seems to me, from my personal perspective, that they decided to remove the dedicated servers based on greed.
    Now, the actual reason, may be different.

    But they should be doing a better job of communicating it, if that's the case.

    And maybe let us know if they plan on bringing it back?

    Welcome to the forum and the game. The devs explained that they made the decision because of performance issues. The BI rented servers really do a fabulous job handling the game. Other servers have had issues. 

    It is worth noting here because not everyone reads the whole forum, that Nitrado will be an option. They are not online for YLands yet, but will be supported soon.

    It is also worth noting that you can self host for free.

    Sharegames are also free for three players, although from my experiment this weekend they still don't work as advertised. Or maybe I don't understand how they are supposed to work. 

    And I'm not sure that those who use a server in their home or job won't be able to host for free. What the devs said is they won't be supported. But they have never been supported in my experience. I am not sure that means they won't work.

    In addition, Editor scenarios don't have the map (M) functionality, which is a pretty significant shortcoming.

    This is disappointing.  Especially if you are using the sandbox map, the island is much larger (though not as large as in the past) and having the map with the markers on it would be useful.  If that isn't possible, how about a craftable compass that would be in the compass slot full time once you crafted it?


  6. The problem comes to those who are trying to monetize, I think.  If you are trying to make money, you don't want to be paying out for each server.  I do question the amount as well. But Red is in Canada, so maybe that is accurate for CA dollars.  When I look at the P1 stuff, they have like 6 or so games going.  So that does add up.  But again, monetization is the goal. 

    I checked the numbers for US dollars, and it was $50 for three months of the high performance BI servers, which is less than $17 per month, for 8 slots. 

    Nitrado, for 10 slots, was $13 I think.  That was monthly, I think it's closer to $10 per month for a year.  

     For the basic player, there is no real change, other than the changes that came with full release.
