Cheating is getting worse

[Kane]

I just saw a group from china place 4 mg turret blueprints even though we had no resources, dismantle them to generate money and start building the base over and over, essentially giving infinite resources making most of the the game pointless.

Yeah seen it happen a few time in ARC missions.

Report them. Press Z and get the list of players and use the report icon for each one. Devs will ban them after they confirm the violation. Make it so their cheating fun is short lived where ever they go.

It's an exploit. I know roughly how it's done, and it's not something that can be easily fixed without completely eliminating all base part refunds. Fortunately, it's not something you figure out easily, so it's not very widespread.

Also had a game in ARC mission where we just started and you could see that ore is rising up for several k. In ~10 secs we had over 50k.

Some people meant it´s a bug, but it was a player which used a trainer. -> cheater


Edit: ..and yes, EAC is crap to "secure" a game from cheaters.

According to some uninformed people, cheating is a non-issue as they are very rare.

Developers' inaction has worsened the issue, leading to player dissatisfaction and declining player counts, which are at an all-time low at the moment (1000 players).

Last night, I'm pretty sure someone (chinese? there were a couple in the game) was spawning in tons of Mortar bugs. The only mutations were regarding drones, so I'm not sure how like six or seven mortar bugs spawned in in the same place. Crazy.

[Ragnarr Loðbrók]

played 45 hours and haven't seen a single cheater yet, i wonder if this is a "regional" thing.

[Wizurd_Merlin]

Its a co-op game, cheating seems pointless in a game like this. If people want to waste there real life money on some crappy hacks for a early access game with less then 1500 players, who care's means nothing.

It's gotten pretty ridiculous. I see them flying around and stuff but I can't do anything about it. Then you join another game and it's the same thing. Reading these replies seem to indicate that people don't care. I suspect they don't care because they are doing it as well.

Yeah, those dudes with Chinese letter in their names can teleport and cheat the ore to infinite.

Yeah, and the worst part is ZERO communication from devs that they acknowledge this. As a consequence, the game has fewer players every day.

How about creating a forum post and getting people who play the game to add you on steam.

I just want to hear from the devs if that is the only way they envision their game being played. Doesn`t seem like it since they didn`t introduce private servers, only public ones.

if you treat cheaters/exploitations/hackers as a non-issue, you are part of the problem. nobody in any game in any region wants a cake-walk for a game and if you do just go play minecraft

Not everyone is a hero.
