Oh goodie. At least I learned my lesson about leaving my ship unattended in multiplayer now with the loss of most of my food, rather than later with things of real value. I'd hoped that we were all above that.

Don't join parties with people you don't know/don't trust. I don't think they can get on your ship if you're not in their party. Otherwise, stash your good stuff on a planet somewhere. Much safer. Although it is my opinion that the ship's locker should be completely inaccessible to anyone else. Chests, and crates and stuff simply left out, sure, those can be open, but the ship's locker is nicely sized and would be capable of handling all your preciouses you'd need to carry with you on a regular basis.

I too am here to request the server IP. I'd like to start a new character with folks and see how multiplayer is.

3GB is hardly large. Its pretty average, if not below average, for games these days.

The B12 community has a disproportionately large amount of people with extremely old computers and very low-end internet. When I played some game with a group of B12ers last year, a large minority of people playing were on 56k modems.

Dude, I am pretty sure you cannot log in into steam with 56k modems. Its updates itself would take half a day, and it updates pretty frequently.
Also they would never be able to download or even find a server with speeds below 512kb. It takes a lot of traffic to play Starbound.

I hope my connection will be able to handle it... I rarely get anything over 250 kb/s. I *pay* for 3 MB/s, but naturally that's not what I get, thank you very much O2 Telefonica bastards.

...I get 1.5MB/s (that's MegaBytes/second) on my tablet's internal 3G modem. I mean, I understand that 3G isn't the cheapest option around, and not present everywhere, but damn. I pay less for it than I do for my 10MBit landline.

It has nothing to do with my modem. It's my ISP, and in this country, there are very few options. There's only one company that does cable (rather than the DSL I have), but it's not available anywhere unless you pay them to set up the infrastructure (which is ridiculously expensive).

Eh, I got past my hoarding stage, and now I keep all ores and bars that I need on my body. I just trash everything I don't need, and toss cool furniture in my ship. If someone is that determined to steal that soda machine from me, then wow. Just wow. Luckily, I haven't had that happen yet playing on our servers.

Personally I'd prefer it if there were permissions options on containers.

That aside, I played for a long time on Forsaken's Terraria server, and I never had a single incident of someone grabbing stuff from my storage. The really messed up part is that I think most of us are fairly generous in these games and wouldn't have a problem sharing around if people would just ask. I mean, geez, I'd expect this sort of thing if I randomly joined a pub server (and would have been prepared for it), but everyone on there is one of us.

Two questions: One, has anyone actually planned or set up a RP server? I see a lot of potential for that sort of thing in this game. Two, Forsaken, can I have your server IP?

[freeformschooler]

Here to also request IP. Haven't done multiplayer yet.

I know Werty suggested the idea. I'd be in for it as well if we had a server. The game does seem to have a fair amount of potential for that.

[jhxmt]

Also to request your server IP, Forsaken, if I may. 

[Twi]

So today I learned that you can place the Piles of Books you tend to find in villages. They act like sand.

This is awesome.

[RexMundi]

May I get the server ip to join?

[freeformschooler]

Wait... is weather on a per-planet basis? It seems this current planet only has two types of weather: rain and... well...

That would be cold. You're freezing.

And weather is somewhat random.

Also, rain falls anywhere the game thinks there is no ceiling, i.e. in particularly deep dungeons. I think that's a bug.

You're making a big assumption that everyone is playing Starbound online. The people I've met on here with 56k modems tend to update Steam, then go into offline mode and disconnect from the internet.

Is forsaken's server down for everyone, did I kill it with my broken warp drive?
