I wouldn't know. I am running it on a Windows Server.

I have setup a dedicated server ... but I cannot login to Backoffice - after entering the credentials nothing happens ... i.e. also windows does not ask me to "accept the certificate". (tried Edge and Chrome)

Well I don't have enough free time to now learn a 3D software and then do all that ... That is why I had sent it to a 3D printing studio.

I tried 3d printing one of my ships. The printing studio gave up, because apparently since the ships have interiors with intricate shapes and elements, the printers had a problem with that. So I gave up really. I was hoping to at least be able to 3d print my ships which I built for years, but nah ...

The tile tax was introduced in order to make it difficult for people to ackquire too many tiles, and in turn have too many resources that the (weak) servers have to manage. Since there is now probably hardly anyone left playing the tax makes no sense at all and should have been removed. But I guess, you actually need a DEV to do that, and there is no one left that works on DU anymore.

Your Haven base must be full with stuff by now, is there even any space left

What Mesh Exporter? EDIT: Ah, I see ... Yeah, that does indeed seem like they will be closing shop soon and are at least offering the constructs export, which is what many of us had asked since the pre-alpha days. Sad really.

I evven got a mail from NQ telling me that now "is the best time to come back to DU" and offering me 20% on subscription ... I am a Ruby Founder. I have a lifetime subscription

All I see is a whole lot of nothing, and a tiny rocket icon in the middle of nothing.

Oof .... I hade made a video on DU from my "What happened ..." Series about exactly this issue - that was 2 years ago .... At that time I was still a tiny bit hopeful that things might change ... not so much now. The same thing now happened to Starfield as well (among many, ahm, other things). Using AI and proc-gen will never produce engaging content or worlds, just a whole lot of nothing:

Actually, there is something to this. I am a Ruby Founder and have paid hundreds of euros backing this game. But I would have NEVER paid a subscription. I just never do that. I have never and will never pay a subscription for a game. Don't ask me why, no idea. But I would have indeed been willing to pay for custom skins and such.

I just logged in after a month or so, just to pay the taxes, lol. DU would need a total overhaul, as I have suggested in many of my videos ... but in order to do that, they would need funding, a lot of it. Which I guess they don't have. Maybe they should have made another Kickstarter campaign? But, with clear goals, good devs, etc. Since DU only has a few planets, it would not fall victim to the proc-gen shite which creates "a 1000 planets" with nothing to do on them .... so they would need to hand craft the existing planets, fill them with interesting locations, POIs, quests, aliens, mysteries, super unique loot to be found, --- imagine that. To do this, they would probably need some, say 50 million $ ... -- but, since that would make the game actually really really appealing, it would then probably attract many more players, as in thousands of them who would gladly keep paying the subscription - because DU would be a one-of-a-kind game -- one where you have the exploration potential of a good RPG, with good quests and lore, but also the power of voxel building.

What are you talking about? Each light bulb in my house weighs over 70 kg. I just changed the one in my office, the standard E27 light bulb - had to call my daughter to help me lift the damn thing, and then use titanium wires instead of copper to hold it.

Yeah, I remember quite a few of them. They have disappeared.

'tis a shite game.

I like your videos. And your accent. Especially when you say stuff like "look at that MANIAC!" Which, BTW, currently is the only interaction I have with DU.

I just log in to see if anyone has bought any of my blueprints (so that I can pay the stupid taxes) and log out again. And even that I just do less and less ...

Choo-Choo!!!!

You must be new here.

You say so because you have never been waterboarded .... I as a muslim though ...

Oh boy, when I suggested this almost 2 years ago in a series of videos, and then again 1 year ago on one of my main videos, I was so attacked for suggesting this, although I tried to convince people how completely stupid the current skill system is ... ah, who cares, nothing matters anyway.

No, I wouldn't. I could have 100s of alts right now. But I simply cannot do that. I cannot play as "more than one person" because I am just one person. That is kind of schizophrenic to me. When I play an RPG I try to build up, skill etc. my character, i.e. that ONE character I am playing as. Switching from one character to another in the same game world is for me completely detestable. Even when I used the VR those 2 times maybe I felt this. It was just wrong. I felt like I am cheating on myself.

Here, I just made a video RIGHT NOW, to show you that I am using Standard Gamma and also to show what happens when you dial up the gamma all way up, like what msoul did, just to make a bloody screenshot .... The audacity, really.

Just what on bloody earth is this?! Did you seriously just dial up the Gamma to ELEVEN, just to make this screenshot? With the standard Gamma (1.0) - because anything above 1.0 makes even the night into day and everything becomes white and washed out -- THIS IS HOW IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE: Now see: #1 -- The gigantic light is right next to that Exit Sign object - yet you cannot see the side of the object AT ALL - it is not at all illuminated although the bloody lamp is right smack next to it. #2 -- There is thick column right there in the back -- it is completely dark here and cannot be made out at all, althought we have TWO gigantic lamps right next to it. #3 -- You cannot make out the edges of that wall at all, although it is just 2 meters away from from two gigantic lamps. ---- Holy shit balls of steel .... just look at his "district teleporter" sign hahahahaha ... it is COMPLETELY WASHED OUT. You can literally SEE that the gamma is turned all the way up .... Unbelievable ...
