Dedicated server options
Just my wish list of server admin options I would love

(1) Reset missions (or allow them to be repeatable) cause if a player completes it and other players missed out, no way they can do it
-This would also force the mission bases to reset

(2) Allow all players to pick landing spot (not just the first, and everyone else has to land in the same area) also allows you to pick a new spot when going to orbit and coming back

(3) Force map reset (resets all resource, trees etc but does not remove player structures
(or allow trees to grow back)

(4) When you go to pick a server to play on, have it remember what you picked last (and even save password)

(5) Change tamed pet to match the 'colour' of the player who tamed them

(6) Auto hide pets and markers from players who are not online

So with number (4) you can add to favourites and choose it to load last save game but depending on the server host site, a password is entered each time unless Admins are added to the Dedicated server list.

With your other options I completely agree! Especially number (2) but it feels like the game design around how Dedicated Servers work, its not setup for multiple drop in "spawn" points to be run at the same time?

Like with my Dedicated Server, I'm still considered the host even if someone else joined before me.

Already set the server

ShutdownIfNotJoinedFor=-1
ShutdownIfEmptyFor=-1

So the map file is always loaded (so no need for a player to go to the lobby and reload the map) (time is still paused when no one is on)

But I want players to have less clicks to get into the server and the current 'favourite' button helps a little but need more option there. Would be nice when the player load the game, and clicks Join, it remembers where you went last

Instead of having to click Dedicated servers, then Favourites, then the server and then join prospect, then password.

Why not have picking the Join button default to the last server, so you just pick Join Prospect
