Dedicated servers?

[HumanGenome]

Is there a plan to release with dedicated servers? That would be great!

EDIT: Found out. Survival Servers is hosting it here

Will RtM have dedicated servers?
There are no dedicated servers at this time. The team is still investigating them for a future update. Multiplayer saves are hosted by 1 player who can invite others to their game using a passcode.

HI this is correct we are exploring how to do this but it does not feel like we can deliver it in time for the Steam launch, so this would have to come afterwards. Mostly this is so we can do it right, and with quality, and take time to work with external partners and set it up so it works great for all players.

Dedicated servers are something I'd like to see in the game too. Is it certain that you will add dedicated servers some day in the near future, or is it still a maybe?

Glad I checked, had the game in my basket. shame it looks like it would be good, but so tired of adhoc multiplayer and the nightmares that causes if you cant all be online at a set time each week.

You should just do it the way Grounded does it. Shared save files. If one person loads the game and its only them, then they are in the game. If someone else loads the game, they get connected and are playing online. You don't need a server running 24/7.

Personally I prefer a server.
Keeps the load off the client machines, allows for central back up and maintence.
Grounded method is better than nothing but its not ideal

+1 for dedicated. Friends an I only advance through the game together but sometimes you just want to go in and build something in the base, sort through chests, etc. Very convenient to have it ready to do so without depending on the host leaving his/her PC turned on.
