Official multiplayer test server is live

Wheatstead · published

Versions: Standard/Playtest 2.01.78, Demo 2.01.60

  • Multiplayer -> Official servers: sign in with Steam and pick an empty plot. Standard, Playtest and Demo editions can all join; up to 8 players online at the same time.

  • This is a test server (marked in the world name). It is reset about every 7 days; plots, buildings, items and characters are cleared. Single-player saves are unaffected.

  • New weapons: MG42, M240, Maxim, Type 89, sword and spear.

  • On death your entire backpack stays where you fell as a relic box; press F to retrieve it.

  • Sleeping is disabled in multiplayer worlds (beds only show a hint); single-player rules are unchanged.

  • Also: the exchange marker on the world map has been fixed, ESC no longer collapses the tutorial, large factories run smoother, and tutorial and official-server strings now ship in 13 more languages.

Known issue: Demo content is pruned, so some buildings and items may not appear in the official world.
