Gaming Artlav's Space Engineers Server

[Artlav]

How about an OF Space Engineers server (as talked about here http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?p=494408&postcount=268 )?
First take wasn't too good, perhaps second time the charm.
If there is enough interest and nothing breaks, i can keep it online indefinitely at no extra cost.

Server: 91.206.14.91
A link like that should work: steam://connect/91.206.14.91:27016
Group necessary: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/ofse
Name: OF Server East
ID: OFSE
Version: 01_066_015
10x on all sizes and speeds.
Infinite world.
Mods:
-Midspace's Exploration Ship Scans

So far there was some fooling around and ship pirating, then i went to sleep.
Let me know if you like it, or something isn't going to well.

Do we have any sort of factions yet? PvP might be cool if we have enough players.

 

[MaverickSawyer]

Negative. Just a general faction to allow everyone to share stuff.

Added a large dose of uranium ore to Big Red, and built a battery powered scout to hit up local rocks in search of ores or mystery objects.

As for mods, I highly recommend the following:
Sektan Signs 2
Midspace's Exploration Ship Scans (finds the derelict ships and stations much faster, but it takes some work and practice)
Armored Thrusters
Big Gate
Kolt command console pack
And some sort of small ship glass. There's a few out there.

Regarding mods for those not aware:
Once the person running the server has added mods to the world, anyone connecting to the server automatically downloads and enables the appropriate mods. No effort required on the part of clients.

Of course, The mod list should be chosen carefully and kept short. Otherwise people on slow connections will find themselves waiting a while to get in.

Valid point, though it should only affect their first login. And may even be smaller than the world download that happens at every login.

Will we find bigger asteroids on future? Or are they this size to prevent low FPS?

That depends on if the world was regenerated when it was set to infinite.

 

[Artlav]

Server cleaned up of floating debris and restarted.
I've added "Midspace's Exploration Ship Scans" mod as an experiment.
Let me know if it works or not.

As for mods, I highly recommend the following:

All your links lead to the signs mod, and search in Steam seems broken or laggy.

Not entirely sure - there weren't any size settings i can see.

It was, but that was before i posted the link here.

guys I have been mining. But I am unable to transfer ore to the big red from the mining ship. How I do it?

I am kind of docked to the 'docking port'? that leads to refinery.

Did you try dragging items you want to transfer to the other ship on the ship's inventory screen?

EDIT: The connector was turned off, issue solved.

Fixed the links issue.

 

[Gerdih]

is it possible to do something against losing all your inventory when disconnecting?

 

[Artlav]

Two problems encountered so far:
-Someone crashed someone else's ship. Need to know who.
-Inventory is lost on disconnect.

If anyone already knows the solutions, please tell.
Otherwise, will solve them in the coming days.

 

[Quick_Nick]

Make a private medbay and cargo. Nothing else you can do about multiplayer inventories.

Also, I am hunting for a ship. I know approximate coordinates but I lost the ship yesterday. It should have been stationary. Either it despawned or I think the antenna might have been destroyed. I would appreciate help in finding it (again, I'll provide approximate coordinates) though I don't really have a reward to offer.

 

[Artlav]

I see a ship a 1000 km away, owned by SolarLiner.
A Gerdih's Explorer, 800Km away.
"Heavy fighter" with blocks by Quick_Nick, 600Km away (644154, -9070, 69583)
And a C3PO's ship, 200Km away.

Which of these are expected?

 

[C3PO]

I didn't loose a ship. I repaired the wreck. Can it be just a part of the ship that's floating around? It did have a pistons and rotors, and I think they have parts that are defined as separate vessels.

 

[Artlav]

Server restarted, added some admin tools to keep track of things.

 

[C3PO]

Does anyone else have their ships starting to shake when they use landing gears?

Yeah, it looks like a piece that flew away - a few blocks. Two reactors, landing gear, connector, control, projector, 3 armor blocks.

That appears to be a known bug in the game.
