Daniel Lohne 1 Posted December 18, 2017 Me and my 3 friends want to play on a private server that is always online. Is it possible to rent/host a passworded dedicated server that doesn't require that whoever hosts the server has to be online in order for it to work? How? Also, is it possible to recycle or delete items? They create lag after a while. Any fix for the invisibility bug where you need to relog in order to see the Things/trees you just placed or chopped Down, and buildings you just built? We need to relog quite often to fix it.

-Shojiki- 5 Posted December 19, 2017 I don't think dedicated servers are currently in a usable state, if at all.. This, as well as the bugs you mentioned, are being worked on by the devs as we speak, from what i've read... Not sure what the plans are for clean up of items though. I generally tidy up after myself when harvesting to reduce any performance issues caused by litter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lmcvann 4 Posted December 19, 2017 Apparently the dedicated server software isn't working since steam release. We got past this by setting up a new steam account, buying another copy of the game and running it on a spare PC. we use this account to host the game and leave it running 24/7. The host character dies from starvation but this doesn't matter as its just for hosting the game. This way anyone can log in whenever they want. Not the best solution but it works for now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does it still bug out (invisible objects etc)? Edited December 19, 2017 by -Shojiki- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lmcvann 4 Posted December 19, 2017 The ships can be an issue, all land building seems fine. we do get a few strange bugs, one i have right now is that i starve to death when i log out but the others dont so unsure why that is. we managed a good stretch with the ships working well so got most of the main one built during that time find it best to reboot the main host a few times a day too to clear the memory but as the host is dead and at spawn spot it seems to run quite well hope they hurry with the dedi server software i think its the most important thing they can put out there to keep the initial interest of the game high 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It works like Rust if you know that game, except there your food dont tick Down in Rust when you are offline.

RedEagle_P1. 905 Posted December 19, 2017 Dedicated server renting cannot be a thing atm since maps corrupt after about 50 hours of playtime (all user data combined). The host would need to reset the servers often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We can create private dedicated servers, now? Or at least passworded servers that dont require the host to be online? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
