Some question 'bout the game

[full crescent]

• Is there a matchmaking or just server browser?
• Is there seasonal vault reset like tarkov?
• Are all items from the game craftable and tradeable by players?
• Can the automation build vertically? Example the transport belt or pipe. Wait..
• is there a liquid in automation?

[ashen abyss]

• Just server browser, matchmaking would be a bit of a strange concept
• Wipes will be a thing yes & major content updates
• Yes
• Currently looking into options to make a transport belt go directly upwards, this will come yep
• There is, but no liquid pipes, but theirs things like refineries, pumpjacks & water purifiers etc but they rely on containers

Will there be pipes?

Satisfactory pipe flashbacks

No good memories

Hehehehe

Yeah its certainly very likely honestly 😉

@ashen abyss I have to ask about the wipe thing. Now I know playing with other people is optional which is good because I'm not really a PVP type person, but games like Rust have server wipes. Will that be for people playing alone and what does that include? I know in Rust your base gets wiped too. That isn't going to happen with solo or PVP right?

[barren grove]

if ur in a solo server it will never wipe unless you directly delete ur own world/map. In public servers im sure there'll be some long running servers with monthly wipes or maybe never?

You can also invite friends to ur own world and never delete it so it always have the same things in it. But in terms of PvP Servers (public ones) it depends on them, maybe they have full server wipes, or base wipes, or loot wipes, or nothing ever but it will really depend on the community server

@barren grove Okay cool thanks. New to trying games with server wipes and maybe actuallywanting to try PVP for once.. I like being able to invite friends. With Scum in your own server you can change things a bit with an .ini file I believe it is. Will the game offer something like that?

[barren grove]

Yeah very similar, but in fact you will be able to change everything right in the UI as you create the server. Right now we only have basic options to modify the server, but on full release maybe earlier we will get advanced tab and you can modify almost everything in the game in the server UI settings for ur own solo server/friends server.

And last playtest the pvp was really fun, its different you should defo try it out

I signed up for the playtest yesterday. I'm not always excited for games, even though I greatly appreciate the hard work that goes into them, but I'm pretty excited for this game. The building in general is different all together, that was my main frustration with Green Hell. The frames. With Scum it was the micro nutrients and the hunting. Both are really good games but ai like what this game seems to offer so far. Is there a specific place on this Discord where you give information on what will be part of the Playlist and the full release of the game when it first releases?
