Question on Hosting

Hey all, just wanted to ask whether the process for my friend to join me will be as simple as them entering my IP (shown in the server console) into the add new server button in game and connecting, or if there are any other steps I have to do because I am a bit confused about the whole port forwarding thing and whether its required or its just the client entering the host’s IP

Also how is the current state of the mod? I have heard reactors and water filters causing save problems but unsure whether they are still an issue

You have to get an app like Hamachi or Radmin VPN since port fowarding is kinda complicated and btw I recommend Radmin because its easier to use.

So for me i play with 2 other people over lan. We each have our own reactor usage, so if I put something in it, it just shows for me and not the other (they still have no power) so each one gotta put a reactor-rod in so everyone has power. No save problems what so ever (we do have 4 water filtration units) only „real“ problem for us is the unlocks of the items are wierd to say the least

We rewrote base system for the upcoming 1.8 version, should solve all of these problems with structures disapear/corruption

huh, their website said it had automatic port forwarding though?

ah thanks for the response, so what about thermal? I don’t see how the same own power usage would apply there. Same for solar too

great! when is the estimate release date?

Its better to play on a LAN Network using those apps for better syncing and besides i never tried the auto port fowarding and I heard that it doesn’t work for alot of people.

We do not offer estimates for releases or even guesses as the devs do this for free in their free time and putting timeframes on things makes it feel rushed.

We did add a solution for port forwarding that can deal with router that supports automatic port forwarding, works in most european countries. However a majority of UK/US routers doesn’t support them at all

alright I’ll see how the automatic port forwarding works later today since in the console it says the port has been opened on my router, thanks

oh my bad, didn’t want to convey that feeling of rushing the devs :confused:

Well im from europe but my router doesn’t support it lol thats why im using the Vpn Apps and it works just fine

Well I’m based in Australia, is that a place where these errors are reported? Also is the error from the host’s side where they aren’t able to automatically port forward or the clients being unable to connect?

weird that it doesnt support it because of region

currently in europe, and UPnP is on for me
