[Savage]

Hi guys,i'm trying to connect with a friend that has a playstation 5 and i just bought the game on steam.. is that possible? How can i do this ?
Thankx in advance!

Hi, yes it is doable but we have to use a second PC to run the SE Dedicated server set on compatibility mode.

Keep in mind Xbox and playstation have memory limited so they can play with no more than 3 different planets in the world, so the SE Dedic must be set on compatibility mode for crossplay.

Here is the Official Guide for the Dedic :

Aah ,daang.. i don't have a second one but i forgot there is servers in game lol, we can choose one good to play.

Thank you again and Happy New Year to you and your family.

Happy New Year to you, too!

Note

You surely don't know me so I must specify :

-> I am not a SE Dev but forum Moderator community helper/game tester and I help the SE community since 2013 because it's my Favorite Sandbox game on Steam.

-> I collect the most talked about every months to send to the SE team and they gave me the [Dev] Tag so I can be admin of the Workshop to help more.

I collect the most talked about every months to report to them so my Favorite Sandbox game can become better.

Can you tell me only a last thing? I'm playing with my friend but i can't respawn together with him,how can i set gps to do this ? We did only one time but was luck lol , i respawned in his little pod ,was amazing.. xD

[Dan2D3D]

We have to set our Survival Kit or Medic Room block on "share with all" or "Share with Faction", this way our friends and/or Faction members will see that Medic room in the Respawn screen and be able to respawn at.

Keep in mind the following :

Auto-Respawn ON = We respawn automatically at the closest Medic Room or Survival Kit when the character is killed.

Auto-Respawn OFF = We can use Medic Rooms or Survival Kits as "teleport" system.

We can take control of where we want to spawn, a good trick to build the Respawn station at a easy Biome first and avoid lightning problems on start.

-> Hit F5 while in the First respawn ship to respawn at another area.

+

- If that F5 trick is not working, happens when playing with "Auto-respawn" enabled and/or "Auto-save" enabled :

1 - Turn OFF the Survival Kit on the Drop Pod (so you will not auto respawn there).
2 - Hit the backspace key to "kill" your character and open the Respawn screen.
3 - Select the same Drop Pod to land at another area.

4 - Redo the above till you land at a Easy Biome or Rich ore spot of the game.

That option is available in the 'advanced world settings' of a local game as 'autorespawn' but it is forced on the server side and annoyingly is not an option you can see or select for when looking at servers, it can only be identified on the client by requesting respawn or invoking player death. It is or was revealed in a detailed steam query response, as it was one of the things shown by my web based server detail report script that still needs updating ;_;

On a public server it's better to be safe and one of you create a faction which the other then joins, and set medbay to share with faction, because if its open to all there is the chance of forgetting to reset it and then have strangers spawning there.

[Dan2D3D]

Go into Control Panel of your Respawn ship, the one you selected in the Respawn screen, select the Survival Kit and set it on "Share with all" on the right side.

Sharing your Survival Kit will add it into the Respawn screen, this way your friend will see it and be able to respawn exactly where your are.

OR

Create your Faction first and set the Survival Kit on "Share with Faction", this way only the Faction members will see your Survival Kit in the Respawn screen.

[Dan2D3D]

Oh! IF you set your Survival Kit on "Share with Faction" because you created your Faction

=

Your friend will have to join your Faction first, turn OFF his Survival Kit block and kill his character (backspace key) to return to the Respawn screen and see your shared Survival Kit.

Have a look at this Premade world I have shared in my Workshop, you can see my Favorite world advanced settings in the image slide show and see the auto-respawn option in the last image.

You may use it, the host is saved at the easiest Biome of the Earth Planet where all ores can be found close to each other and ore detector block is not needed :

EDIT
You will have to set it on "Friends mode" to play MP.

The stock default planet lander pod has a 'timer block' included in it's build. That can be configured to switch on the survival kit after a delay, so that it becomes available for use again providing the battery still has charge and the pod has not been auto-deleted by the server because its owner was no longer connected to the server.

You're forgetting the topic here, Dan, he is limited to playing on a multiplayer server because his friend is on a game console version, and he has a PC :)

[Dan2D3D]

Oh! I forgot that part, thanks for specifying, Rox

@Savage, just use my Workshop world to see my Favorite world settings.

On public server = Only the admin can change the world advanced settings.



EDIT

Conclusion = Share your Survival Kit
