Sweet jesus, I wish I had this game. Goddamn my lack of !!MONEY!!

[Brotato]

Are there any official servers? If not, where can I find a decent private one to play on?

There aren't official servers, but there's a server browser. You can find one and drop in pretty easily.

I imagine that if you had !!MONEY!!, you soon wouldn't have any money at all.

Just picked up this game on sale, no idea what the hell I'm doing but I crashed one ship through another and it was awesome. Does Bay12 have a server?

I've figure out that, despite being on college internet connection, I'm technically capable of hosting a server.

So, for now, Bay 12 Server is up. This is just running on my laptop and there's no dedicated server function, so it's coming down when I go to bed/laptop gets hot/whatever. With any luck though, I'll keep using the same map later and we can build some really huge stuff (hardware permitting). Also, weapons are off to prevent lag, since firing rockets causes lag on every server I've been on.

Just look for Bay 12 Server in the public list.

Finally got the game, sweet jesus it's fun. I'm still working on the BUILDING bit, but flying and destroying the ships is understood. I've been loving smushing ships together.

Is anyone hosting a survival server?

I bought this today I find chasing after the small  crack rocks you mine is anoying so I'm working on a ship like a flat bed truck with a  massive grav generator to collect my space rocks for me.

[Mech#4]

The drills for ships suck the rocks into them and store the rock in a little container accessible on the drills side, but yes, mining with a gravity generator on makes it much less hassle. You can also hold down the pickup button and move the targeting crosshair over rocks to pickup as well rather than pressing it over and over.

Here's a channel I've found that might give people some ideas for constructing things.

[Brotato]

Is there a way to resupply generators and weapons from inside the ship? I think it's incredibly frustrating having to go to each individual generator just to add fuel.

[Fayrik]

Picked this game up a few days ago and it's been fun, so far!

Now that I (think) I've finally gotten the hang of it, I think this thread deserves a small bump to see if anyone else here fancies playing it multiplayer?
I can host, but only at certain times of the day.

I would go to the public servers, but I'd rather not get gunned down or run over the moment I spawn in.

[Mullet Master]

Just created a server, called it Bay 12. If anyone wants to play today feel free to hop on!

[Girlinhat]

Doesn't appear in the server list.
