the lore behind the alpha and beta to explain the wipes is this......we are still on the arkship and we are in a VR simulation while in our cyropods.  Alpha might even have weekly wipes. This isn't an early access game. This is also a single shard persistent world we will be living in. To not have wipes would cause so many issues. So while it might seem annoying that you might "lose" your creations you shouldn't go in to a test phase thinking what you are doing will be in the final game. Even how the game plays is up for change in a full release.

jokes on you im dead

Yes, you can claim safe zone tiles but there is a tax on them that goes up the more tiles in the safe zone are claimed. There will also be well over 1000 tiles in the safezone. 
 
The main advantage of building in the safe zone is that your stuff is safe and it's a central location in the game world. 
 
It will likely be mostly parking lots, markets and warehouses 

refer to the AMA, pt 2:
 
 
IIRC jc said in some interview too, that they want to put a fee on each of those tiles per month (with ingame money - very expensive) to prevent people from just taking the best spots and not using them.
 
EDIT: oh it was in AMA pt 3 lol

If you are asking if you can build in the ark ship bubble, then the answer is yes. If you are asking can we take control of those tiles inside the bubble, the answer is yes as far as I remember, still have to find a territory control unit to do that.

Hi everyone,
 
Please keep in mind a few things when it come to expectations for the game access at the end of September:
- you are not going to have a full game from day 1. This will be a version "work in progress" and very far from being feature complete.
- Everything mentioned in the Lore may not be represented in the game as a game feature. It's the case for any game. Dual Universe is no exception.
 
Now regarding Tree Harvesting:
- The crafting system isn't complete yet and trees won't be harvestable in the game version you will get at the end of September. 
- Trees are not made of voxels. They are 3D meshes.
- Currently, for practical purpose: when all voxels connected to a tree are removed, the tree disappear.
- Trees should be harvestable once the crafting system will be complete.
 
Best Regards,
Nyzaltar.

 

So basically you're against the reasonable choice of NQ to avoid feature creep (as in some other games ....) - wrong opinion though, but that's fine if you feel that way.
 
They're not releasing a not-finished game - they release a finished game and make sure every mechanic in this game works properly. THEN they work on ADDITIONAL mechanics (like stargates, bounty hunting, FTL travel,...) to expand the game. In a persistent, player run sandbox you have to make sure your basic mechanics work properly and go from there.
Besides: those additional mechanics will be delivered via PATCHES and NOT DLCs - those are different things.
So to me this sounds reasonable - not sure why you're against that.
 
And the subscription drama again:
PC Gaming is a hobby as every other hobby there is. If you're not able to spend money on it (or you don't want to) then don't do it. 10-14€ per month isn't that much money either for us lucky people who live in first world countries. If you feel like you lose money every month because you don't play and spend such a little amount of money each month, you clearly have other problems in life.
I smoke and spend 100€ per month on that - I wouldn't do it when I didn't have the money for it.
I do go climbing in the mountains too so I need to get there by car, need equipment, drinks, chalk, .... That costs money too but I'm happy to pay it because I have a great time doing it.

I suggest reading the devblog on the RDMS. Access can be controlled to a degree but nothing is really going to stop someone from joining an org for the sole purpose of being a spy and thief if that is the way they want to play. That is the beauty of emergent game play, the game in a way will mimic a real world. If you are unsure about joining an organization then I suggest joining different discords of the ones that catch your attention and getting to know the people in them first.
 
In short there won't be much as far as a game mechanic that stops this from happening outside the RDMS and how we as players use it. It is up to each org to police themselves while preventing and stopping this from happening within.

:dance_party: glad to know their shareholders have faith in them too

but, that's how markets work. 


Sure, NQ can add later on a way to grow trees back by XYZ gameplay mechanics (cross finger for agriculture bringing such thing with it ), but truth it, naturally grown trees wil lbe worth FAR more than growing your own.

And let's be honest,. deforestation brings out the Greenpeace Extremist I always wanted to be, but never gave much of a damn for the Amazon to actually care becoming one.


I mean, DU is an MMORPG. I will RP as the guy hunting lumberjacks.

Ill cut you and leave your body at the end of time

Also for those interested, there is a very highly acclaimed book written by the same people that made the language itself, called "Programming in Lua". The latest edition is the 4th edition. You can also find the last versions for much cheaper.
 
WARNING: Do not search for a pdf version of the book. There is a pdf version available for free, but of course it is illegal. Again, do NOT search for the pdf version of the 4th edition, or you will find the free illegal version.

I think this would be some what difficult to implement. I believe the day night cycles are not going to be super long. Also I would assume that depending on the planet and location in space the time of day may not matter to much in regards to if its day or night in game.

lol I tried to explain DU to my roommate once.....didn't go well

Don't expect anything like this on release. NQ has said at one point that they have to for go wheels and tread because of the strain it would put on the game. so to avoid crashing they wont have. I assume its similar with mech legs. thought doesn't mean down the road they cant have

lol I tried to explain DU to my roommate once.....didn't go well

Luckily my lady has not banned me from it yet, but she gets this look when I start going on about it that tells me I should stop ....

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF TOM.....wait nvm. welcome to the DU forums  join us in discord sometime

I read what you wrote

Lol!
