That's because there is so much gray area, you can still get sued even though you're not breaking the written law. And platforms like youtube will block content, even when it follows fair use.

I wanted a game like DU ever since I started playing Space Engineers, and found a link to the E3 video in the SE forums. I also played Eve for many years and was looking for the "next step" in single shard mmo evolution. I don't really have any goals other than to have fun, and figure it out as I go.

I was never trained in Eve, just listen to the FC and get thrown into the fire, that's good training. 😁

You should be able to tell if you're a kickstarter pledger if you log into Kickstarter and look on the DU page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1949863330/dual-universe-civilization-building-sci-fi-mmorpg

Well it all sounds good to me. (the FAQ)

I like the triangle kind, I made something similar in Space Engineers: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=689564049

Subnautica is a good single player game.

Welcomes. I'm also sys admin 😎

Hello. There are some Youtube videos that may help you get started, though they may be a little outdated now: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRPE8HHvv1EYu8YwqNgOD8w Otherwise we can answer in the pre-alpha forum, or when this post gets moved there.

Yeah a lot of the tech in DU is based on nanotech, nanites or whatever you want to call it, so there's no need for ancient artifacts like grinders, welders, drills etc.

Hello and welcomes fellow space gamer

For now I like the idea of manual repairs, except it might be a good idea to have a more automated repair process on a base, maybe a factory unit could repair, or a separate repair unit that uses cargo to source the needed materials.

That wouldn't prevent manual copying though, just place a core and build a copy. Tedious but people could do it, especially with small/simple constructs. That's why it would be nice to see who the original designer is in the market before you buy it.
