Dedicated Servers

[Ssaph]

is there a way to make dedicated servers in this phase of the game?
if not, will it be on the roadmap?
*(I have not been able to find any of this info

**Im a content creator, really into survival-basebuilding games. (Like ark and conan exiles). I would love to play this game with friends and viewers (eventually)

This is a 1-4 player co-op game. What servers?
Why would four people need a dedicated server?

So you can pick it and continue where you left off if the main player with the save isn't on. What an idiot.

Are you talking about paying for servers that keep the game actually running?
A thirty dollar game, that costs $50/m to keep on a server vs just running the game. If that is your plan then I'm pretty sure I'm not the idiot in the picture.

Back to a dedicated by the month server running the game. You and the party would be dead, and your gear in cute little dead teen backpacks. Well, they would all die of thirst or starvation. Nobody lasts a day without eating and drinking.

I play in co-op, but I have my own game running on my system. Works pretty well. I'm not bored and when their busy lives give a weekend afternoon we all play. You know. Like co-op.

If you are actually serious, find a way to share the host's save file. Should be workable, somehow. That wouldn't take a dedicated server, would not suck money every month, and you could share the solution here and many will appreciate your genius.

I'd even give your a commendation. Not the really expensive one, come on. You called me an idiot because you don't like how the game was designed.

well as mentioned above, I would like to be able to have the game running so my friends can play if im not around.

there are plenty of games around that have the option to "pause" the game if noone is on, so thats not the issue.

hense my question if there was a possibility for a server on this game

I believe they are thinking about it. Don't know if they are going to add it or not. Just looking into it.
It on the feature board https://grounded.obsidian.net/feature-board

Total Necro, but Dedicated servers are a "must have" feature on Survival games. Doesn't mater if it's 2-4p, or 20p. It's not an option for me.

So, a number of players host our OWN servers, either local, or on a dedicated host machine using SteamCMD on LAN. Then you open ports needed to play with friends. Other than power and internet, we don't "pay per month," not that most hardcore gamers would take issue with this, either, if that's your choice.

For ARK, Conan, Rust, Valheim, 7 Days, Emperyon, Eco, PortalKnights, Zomboid, Starbound, Terraria, etc, I've used a dedicated server separate from my game box for 4p or less. Dedicated server software in SteamCSM is the gold standard method for Survival hosting.

Name checks out.

If only you had waited until July 31, 22. I wouldn't have played this game for a whole year and I would agree with your "necro" but you missed, so a half-necro is all you get.

Move on.

Honestly, they should just do what Icarus does and add the ability for any individual to host. so if the original person isn't online than any of the other 3 can host that instance for the time until the next time. that would remove the need for dedicated servers and still add the flexibility of a revolving host.

It is not an unreasonable request to ask for dedicated servers for a survival type game. The vast Majority of games in this genre allow for dedicated servers.

it is fun game, and I am able to play multi players with friends even as it is setup, but there are times where if it was a dedicated server, some friends could be on a bit more and work on base building while others are away.

I agree that there should be dedicated servers, along with the ability to play with more than 4 players (its honestly fine if people overlap characters, standard coop can still be limited like that for more of a "story" playthrough) but dedicated servers would be cool for more of just the sandbox playstyle, build a base, fight creatures and maybe some PvP

[Iceweazel]

Because this is Xbox Live I HIGHLY doubt this will EVER get dedicated servers, which is rather too bad. It's not a terrible game. Bit short last time I checked it out. (before this weekends free 2 play time. I'm sure to browse around and see what was added over the weekend) But I'm with others on this, it needs a dedicated server.

No dedicated server? no $ from me and my friends. /shrug. See my past posts on this over the past 2 years on this.
