Made it up to them (Space Engineers server is GO)!

Since this post is more game-related (with some minimal drama), it seemed better fitting to post it here instead of the General blog.

So let’s get this going. As I said, I made it up to them by taking the time to get a server going yesterday. With what happened with Klaus the day before, I just felt it was
right. And also, I got to speak with my BF (finally). I was exactly right that he’s been busy at work, and he also has Space Engineers! This is awesome. Invited him to the group, so he can join us (hopefully in the same timeframe).

So, going back to the game, the day before I had them vote on what settings they wanted for the server. Most of them wanted more storage and faster processing (Kovo being the only one that didn’t really care, only that it was set to Survival).
I used their votes and did my best to make the game as fair as possible, then tried to launch the server. It worked, but I was confused. This looks nothing like what Vale did when he was hosting. Not to mention the following..
-When Vale was hosting, I bound my keys which unbinded the defaults. With myself hosting, for some reason that’s not happening. Looked up ways to get around it, and it seems there’s no way to unbind. The FUCK?!
-Why am I in a faction? How do I leave it and create my own?
Phoenix Phire (one of the three that was part of this) helped me out with the second thing by telling me how to do a new faction. And after I got everyone in and we eventually met eachother at the EarthLike start base (and had a few perverted jokes with grinders and drills), Kovo after I convinced him to look up a video on how to do survival, told me to look at the same video.
Sure enough, it answered the thing for the first question. You got to use the ‘Star System’ one for doing a custom world. And I learned quite a lot from this. One of the reasons I don’t really care for the game is I never actually played it in Survival, and had no idea where to even start. But now I do (thanks to that video Kovo linked).. and it takes a long time of mining and processing rocks just to make a Survival Kit (and power for it) that everyone can use to respawn and meet up. Though, I didn’t know I also needed to make a temp base for it (didn’t get that far in the video).
Plus it took me longer, as I stupidly grinded away my drop pod thinking there would be an easier way to find Kovo and the others… there wasn’t. But hey, trial and error, right?

I’m glad Kovo’s here. He’s teaching us some valuable info. Because if it was just
myself, Phoenix and Ren… I’m pretty sure we would be like chickens with their heads cut off. lol
