IDEA FOR NEW DLC (SERVER HARDWARE)
So I´ve built my own Server now using a Rack mounted case and a server rack. OF course i dont have the money to fill this rack completely so i really wish there was a DLC with Server hardware. You could for example create a new "Map" where you have one floor with Server Racks like in a Datacenter and one floor where the NOC engineers can build the Systems, monitor the machines and do all the stuff that you can do ingame anyways. Accept new inquiries and so on. I would love such a DLC and would pay for it cause this kind of Hardware is so expensive and probably never in my reach for my Home System.

PLS ADD THIS DLC :steamthumbsup:

Unfortunately the developers have told us back during early access that they had no intention of adding any sort of server hardware to the game. There has been no further update since their original statement for this topic. As of today they will not be adding server hardware to the game.

Additionally my own personal thoughts: This game is simulating a small mom`n`pop computer repair store. In real life no one that owns a server machine like this would ever take it to any off-site repair facility due to data security. They would never have any servers like you described in any small repair shop. In the DataCenter world they either pay a service contract and a service tech comes on-site to do the repairs, or they just get an entire replacement chassis and switch the drives over and boot it. Servers do not ever end up in repair sites like we see in this game. I think it would be very not realistic to see something like that in this game because it doesn't happen in real life.

Hey, regarding your personal thoughts. I understand that and thats not really the thing i had in Mind. I thought about them adding like a two story Map where one Flor is like a room full of empty racks and the one above or below that is like an office where you can play a NOC engineer and repair your own server hardware and manage recources. You need to connect all the wires to the computer if you add a new Server. manage switches and so on. I think that would be a great idea.

But if the dev team has already decided on Server Hardware thats unfortunate. I would love it if they added it. so if you wanna blow this post up by any way do that. maybe we can get them to add it anyways

That sounds less like a DLC expansion and more like an entirely new game "NOC Engineer" to me.

Theres already a server case, so I dont see whats that wrong, just add alot of HDD's and no RGB parts and not alot of pro parts and you are basically set.

There is a big difference in the "Server case" that is in the game and "Full rack-mounted server cases".

i should of said sort of

you spoke my mind. What i mean is rack mountable Stuff. Thats so much more than just having a tower case full of Hardrives. Especially because even 4U cases limit you in case of CPU cooler. I for example switched after 5 days of aircooling on my CPU cooler to an AIO cause even the biggest Air cooler that could fit wasnt able to get rid of the heat and it capped at 103°C so yeah. I like the challenge of Rack mounted pcs. Now i have 85°C as my highest

Unfortunately it's the "rack-mounted computer cases" that they most likely won't be putting in the game. That's the sort of server stuff they don't seem to want in the game.

thats what i dont understand. I think its a market gap. There are probably many people that would buy such a dlc cause they dont have the money to build such a pc themselfes

Your post is rather confusing. Almost no one uses rack-mounted computers at home. Those are almost 99.999% used only exclusively in datacenters. Datacenters do not buy or build them from little mom`n`pop computer repair shops like this game is simulating. They custom order them direct from HP/Dell/SuperMicro/Tyan/ETC. They're probably not in the game because it's rather unrealistic to even ask for. Those types of machines would almost never be in a small repair shop in real life for any reason.

thats i think where i disagree. Of course the majority uses consumer grade cases and hardware but what i also think is that many users of this game are computer nerds like me and would love to test out enterprise grade Hardware like dual cpu mainboards or switches and server racks. Of course this isnt something that a small computer repair shop would do in real life, but you would also not see a small computer repairshop have a big aorus robot in their shop thats 2 Stories high and can change color through a drone. I think there would be many interests by users of this game cause this game i think is for computer nerds and playing with things youcant afford or even get cause its only for enterprises is always fun.

Unfortunately it really doesn't matter what you want, what I want, or what anyone else wants. They already said no on the topic a long time ago and they haven't said anything else yet. So as far as we know they still do not want to put it in the game.

I vote in favor even if its just a 3175wx to compete with threadripper, that and the it pack could substitute - just a saying thats possible for substituting it:!
