Summary: Survival - Changes to the guest experience v2.0! Survival - Kits! Medieval Engineers - New dedicated server Space Engineers - Cleanup and backups Survival - Changes to the guest experience v2.0! We are going to try something different: let guests build in mining again! This will allow new players a trial version of survival, after which they can take the tutorial to build in our protected worlds (pvp, pve). Also, if guests have enough time online (still undecided), they will be automatically promoted to "new". Survival - Kits! We are adding various kits to the server to make things like starting a new farm just a little easier for new players, as well as some fun things for veteran players. This is still WIP, but may be in testing over the weekend. When we make official decisions on what kits to have, this thread will be bumped with the changes. These will not be crazy pvp kits! Medieval Engineers - New dedicated servers Added new dedicated servers for Medieval Engineers (Creative & Survival). Links on the front page. For now the servers are setup for the community only at first. Eventually I will open them up. Right now they are servers 2 and 3 ever posted on the medieval engineers server list so that should get us a lot of traffic once we open it up to the public. Open to suggestions on what mods people want for Medieval Engineers. Space Engineers - Cleanup and backups Did a bunch of cleanup which should help the performance of the survival server. Also made improvements to the backup process so less data is being backed up (backing up the addons was being done and it made the backups too big / slow). Speaking of backups, also have backups covering the ME server as well.
Kits! Round 1 of kits to be tested, type /kit to show the ones you have access to, then /kit <name> to get it. Any items that won't fit in your inventory are dropped on the ground, so be careful.
