Yup, started up the survival mode and had a tootle around the original map.

The blue ship away from the platform has no power and you have to grab uranium rods and cut your way into the reactor room to power it up.

Also your suit thruster power will run out if you do not get back into the pilot seat.

Mining ore is a little bit of a pain as where there is no gravity it goes flying off.

Doesn't look like dedicated servers are available yet but should be in the near future.

Yeah the mining is a bit of a pain, me and Gotex had to build a platform and a gravity unit so that it fell to the floor, even then in can be tricky :(

Keep us posted when they do, I know we have a few people playing this at the moment.

Bit of a shame but we could always run a server off someones machine at the lan for a bit of a chuckle and experiment. Not tried survival yet as using the jet pack was hard enough to get the hang of :woot2:

Hmm judging by the comments it's not very stable, worth waiting or seeing if we can get a server up?

BrotherTobious

The question is will updates wipe our builds and how willing are people gamble?

I'd rather wait and start building when we know we're not going to loose everything with a server update.

Whatever's gone wrong it's not my fault.
