We are happy to share good news with you today! Our official Community Servers are now assigned, and you can already explore the galaxy together with other players! The verified servers are clearly marked with a blue checkmark and are accessible to everyone without a password. The servers are provided free of charge in cooperation with 4NetPlayers and are managed by selected administrators.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the numerous applications! Unfortunately, we could not assign a server to everyone, so some applications are still on the waiting list if a server becomes available again in the future.
We will continue to work closely with both 4NetPlayers and the server administrators to ensure that you get the best performance from the servers.
We would also like to inform you that our friends from Stray Fawn Studio are releasing their game Nimbatus - The Space Drone Constructor! Today at 18pm CEST it will leave Early Access! :) For the launch there is a discount of 25% for everyone until 21.05.2020 9am PST! Take a look, because for all who love space games, it's definitely worth it!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/383840/Nimbatus__The_Space_Drone_Constructor/
Concerning an update, we would also like to inform you that we are working on it with determination. Unfortunately, we can’t give you an exact date yet. We ask you for a little patience and understanding. In any case we will keep you always up to date! :)

I have found the 8 stones and activated them.
There was an adventurer inside the sector.
I killed some Xsotans that came out of the new wormhole, the adventurer survived.
I enter the wormhole, going to the other side of the barrier, but the quest did not update.
I have no idea how the quest should proceed, since this is my first playthrough.
Thank you for reporting, we will check this :)

I have spent about 10 hours now trying and testing out boarding and I have come to the conclusion that it is useless!!
Here is why
Even if you fully crew a captured station it will not repair overtime !!!!! ( they get this stupid little Icon)
Also, every tic in the boarding prosses has a chance to destroy cargo!!!!
so 90% of the time it is FAR FAR more profitable to just destroy the station!!!!
Why you ask
because if you destroy you get to salvage it witches gives you 10X more resources (if you deconstruct the station at 90% hp you get around 1% of the resources!!)
If you destroy it you get ALL the cargo sure you have to unbrand it but in boarding, you can easily lose over 50% if not 100%
when you have just enough boarders.
Honestly its a crap mechanic !!!!
Same with capturing ship!
they will NOT repair over time (they get the same crap Icon) and you have to manually buy a repair chip
so you are better of just building a new ship
at a repair doc.
( yes I am fully aware that Captured ships retain their npc buff I once got a ship with a 28X damage boost but that's a bug, not an intended feature and should have been fixed already)
There are no advantages to boarding what so ever!!! In fact, you lose a lot of time and expensive crew.
For the time and effort, it takes to board this a serious flaw in the game!!
Please fix!
Thank you for reporting this and share your opinion with us. We check this :)

Hello guys.
What're you doing while staying at home during COVID-19?
I need ideas from you to do new thing during this boring time.
I am working at home office and playing computer or console in free time :D
-
Is it possible to get a password protected official server for a closed community?
unfortunately not, the servers should be accessible for everyone. :)
-
Hey there, I tried to reproduce it, but I cant. I play on the beta version and everything seems working fine. Could you make send us a screenshot or something? :)
-
Thank you for reaching out, we check this :)
-
Hey :) Sorry for this question, but need to know it, have you reinstall the game completely?

We are happy to announce that official community servers are coming! Due to the current Covid-19 situation, we are all encouraged to stay at home and we want to help you through this time. We have already made all the necessary arrangements and are currently working on the final touches to get the servers live.
After consulting with many server hosts, we have found out, that it works best if each community plays according to their own ideas. That's why we provide you with the servers for free and you can administrate and lead them the way you want! We only set some ground rules to ensure that everyone is treated fairly. You can decide how you run the servers, which community you want to build, how often the server will be wiped, and so on.
How is this going to work?
We have organized servers for you via 4NetPlayers, which we will provide to you for free. There will be several servers and it is important for us to work closely with you together, to get the best possible experience for you and to achieve improvements! The servers will be marked separately so that you can clearly see which ones are official and verified.
If you are interested in administrating a server, send us a quick application with the following content to server@boxelware.de :
- Your name
- A link to your Steam profile (must be public)
And please answer the following questions in your application:
- Are you already hosting a server or do you have experience in game server administration?
- How long have you been playing Avorion?
- Do you already have a community? If so, how big is it?
- How many administrators would manage the server?
- Please tell us, which kind of server you would like to have. For example, PvP or PvE?
- Why would you like to administrate a server, what is your motivation?
Please note that you must be a member of our official Discord Server, so please let us know your Discord ID in the email.
Here is the link to our Discord:
Short Q&A
Will there be a charge for the servers?
- No, the servers are provided by us free of charge. We host them, you can use them.
Where will the servers be located?
- We will provide servers in the EU and the US.
Will we be able to mod our servers?
- For now they will be unmodded.
Will it be PvP or PvE servers?
- Both will be available, we have not yet determined the exact distribution.
What are the rules?
- In order to provide a good experience for a broad majority of players, there will be some ground rules set by us. Server admins are free to extend the rules, as long as they don’t revoke ours.
We are looking forward to hearing from you and we hope that we can assign the first servers soon! :)

Hi
I have a problem i cant install one system on ship. The story is, that i died with some systems installed. And the restored a ship by a ticket, but the all installed systems gone, i tired to find them around the wreckage but there wasnt any. Then i tired to install the new one, but it tells me that similar is already installed. WTF!?
Hey there, could you please tell me if you are able to use the upgrades even if you don't see them in your ship?
-
Hello,
sorry for my bad english :)
I want to play at home on windows pc and on work on macbook pro.
can i use my saves from my windows pc and save this on my macbook pro and use it ?
i have started a single player offline game and spend over 30h or need to start new and make a online game ?
actually it should work to copy the safe folder. but we can't guarantee it because there are two different operating systems :) But you can try :)
-
It has been almost a year and I still can't upload to the workshop because I use family share!
I want to do a new youtube series on Avorion because it's been released but it really sucks that I still can't upload my designs to my LordMaddog steam account.
:( :'(
Hey dear, maybe you can ask someone from our community in discord to uploud it for you? We have a lot of great ship builders there, i am sure someone would help you out :)

--Possibly contains spoilers, do not read if you dont want to know anything.--
Seems kind of pointless to give you feedback when nothing ever becomes of it, but here's the results of my time and effort after playing the 1.0 release, from beginning to end, from a big fan who wanted this game to improve but has given up. 1.0 is my last playthrough.
1. Weapon ranges and balance are broken. We've been telling you for years but you just dont seem to get the point no matter how much we drill it and show it to you. When most enemies and even things like the Wormhole Guardian have an attack range of 5km...it makes no sense that our weapons (most effective being Rail and lightning...AGAIN) can attack from 30km. (rail and lightning having insane range as well as the dps). Years have gone by and it's still the same problem.
Example of the imbalance:
On my 1.0 playthrough the strongest Machine gun i found was a 3 slot machine gun at 2.2k dps.
3 Slots, 2.2kdps, 4.5km range. Roughly 733dps per slot. Remember that.
I can blow up a station or get the parts cheaply by buying them, and instantly craft a railgun that has 25k dps, 5 slots, and has 30.5km range, and has anti-matter (double damage against hull. And also craft lightning guns exactly the same but with energy rounds (double damage to shields)
5 slots, 25kfps, doubled to 50kdps with ammo type, 30.5km range. Roughly 10,000 dps per slot. Do you begin to see the shear ludicrous scale of the imbalance yet? We've been telling them for years. Under these conditions, equipping the machine gun is statistically senseless.
2. Broken Cat and mouse chasing AI. The Ai chases itself many 100's of km's away from the center of the sector, the problem is worst in early game where in many situations, youre chasing an enemy incredible distances to finish it off, often this can put you so far away from the center of the sector, that elements of the UI literally break and de-render.
3. Economy has been destroyed by the recent changes. Pirating from cargo ships and fighting off the sectors defenders used to be a vital element of the gameplay that was fun. But now thats all gone, as cargo ships dont spawn once 'Turmoil' has enabled, and there's no point attacking cargo ships when destroying stations which eventually rebuild themselves means you get all the loot and materials you need super-fast, in a way that is not really fun or challenging.
4. Unbareable lag when attempting to play multiplayer, due to the games total disrespect to bandwidth consumption, and absolutely no willpower on the developers side to address the issue. This has lead to most multiplayer servers forever shutting down or keeping population caps super low and just continueing to play knowing that the unplayable lag is just part of the experience. With confirmations from the dev team that there are no plans to do anything about it, entire Avorion Discord groups i was apart of have shut down. We we're hoping to get servers up and running again but you basically shot them down.
5. Reputation building with factions is too slow and boring. There are not enough 'actual quests' offered to you in each sector and even if you do them, the reputation is usually hardly worth the time. Waiting around for pirate/xsotan attacks is even more a waste of computer time and home electricity. Best thing to do is blow up stations, earn quick credits, and buy your reputation up...which is broken. Again, (and obvious) major imbalances here. Through Steam and other snippets of information i muster, i get the impression there is little to no testing going on. You have to play your own game, people like me who provide the feedback are becoming more reluctant to come forward and do so due to the depression that nothing becomes of it.
6. Scrolling through the different types of blocks was quicker and better. Now having to manually select them or drag them onto a limited bar of 10 parts has really slowed down my build speed and dramatically increased the amount of mouseclicks i have to make and do to build. Same with enabling/disabling the mirroring UI, is an extra pointless click among many that slows down our creativity and makes it just that little more tedious.
I leave you with this, and i expect much of the same, hardly any changes, and probably people on the forum never making their mind up or fighting over ideologies of how it could or should be (love you guys for sticking around by the way, and showing the passion that is needed here, but we have the same conversations over and over and nothing ever happens). Without fixes, without a key decision maker, with the problems that never get addressed and there being no willpower to fix them...this is as far as i can go. It was fun, until about 9 months ago when the bandwidth issues began shutting the multiplayer servers down. I held on as much as i could because i saw massive potential in Avorion but i cant withstand anymore of this. I wish i could rollback using Steams ability to install older versions, but sadly you deleted the older versions from the list.
Hello, I am glad that we can exchange again :)
Me and the whole team understand the problems you described. We can also understand that some things in the game annoy you because they don't match your expectations. First of all, I am very sorry that this is the case. We try our best to give everyone a good gaming experience. As in a previous post by you on the same topic, I ask you to understand that we cannot solve all problems overnight. :-\ We have already announced through steam that there will be an update in which we will consider and implement players' wishes. :) We also mentioned that we are definitely not done with Avorion yet.
We are still fixing the bugs in the game. So I ask you and the rest of the community for patience. :) Unfortunately we can't promise that we can or will fulfill all wishes. Often it is the case that one player likes certain features and the other does not. Also unfortunately, I cannot understand why you think that we do not pay attention or listen to our community. Because we collect all your suggestions and wishes and we also react to the feedback of the community. Please understand that we are a small team, so it takes some time until we can implement things. I assure you that we will not let you down and continue to work on improvements.
As offered last time, you can write me a pm in which we discuss this topic together. I hope that I could help you with this and wish you a nice day. :) !

No problem. The community gives me enough reasons to try it. Many thanks for that. I purchased the game for me and my son a few days ago. Well, what can I say... we love it! At least I'm missing a little bit of detail from Space Engineers. But there is more real life in the game and you are not as alone as in SE. You always have a goal in sight and discover new things all the time. We haven't regretted it so far. Please keep up the good work!
Oh love to hear that! :) We will do our best! :)

Forum needs a light theme for people like me who can't read dark theme text. Thanks, also, the new updates with nicer proc gen ships is really cool, liking all the new updates. Need to leave now, dark theme is giving me a headache and my eyes are squinting badly.
We will check this :) Thank you!

I'm coming from space engineers and stumpled across Avorion today the first time. I downloaded the demo and played a little bit. Since it's some time since the demo release and the actual version on steam, I would like to ask if there is a newer version which I could test before I buy it. I only will to be sure that the game is something for me and my son, since I have to buy it 2 times.
Hey :) Current we are not planning to update the demo version. Sorry :(
-
wtf is this bullshit!! i cant disable updates in steam and now i cant play on the server i spent over 100hours because it hasnt the same version! FIX THIS !!! I'ts ruining my gaming experience for avorion. It shouldnt be possible to create a situation that you are banned out of your server simply because of this updating mechanism..where did you buy it from ? from microsoft... ? THINK !!!!! Program avorion to always adapt to the server and not the other way around.! Make iit possible to determine wether you can update or not. ofcourse it will be fixed..but my weekend is ruined now because of this..hate this bullshit
Hey, as the others wrote, you should ask the server admin to update the game. Or maybe you can turn off the automatic steam updates for the future?
Click LIBRARY on the menu bar.
Right click on the game for which you want to stop auto-updates.
Click UPDATES from the top menu.
Open the dropdown menu under Automatic updates.
Select Only update this game when I launch it.
Click CLOSE.

I was just wondering, are there any plans for games in the works after avorion is finished, or is that top secret :-X? I know there is still a lot of balancing and a few DLCs to come (yay!) but didn't know if there was any cool stuffs in the future for the group?
We have plans but.. pssschhht! 8) Dont tell anyone 8) Right now Avorion is our priority. As you mentioned here already, the bugs are very important, and as we wrote in the steam anouncement, we want to make an update with stuff that you guys wished for. :)
-
Good Morning, just read some of your answers to this topic. Lots of them should be in the suggestion topic, how you think about this? :) Cause there we can find all the amazing ideas and they dont get lost! :)
-
Playing Avorion i'm having some lags caused by simulation load and low fps. But the game runs good on old versions.
If you have this kind of problem, pls, tell to everyone here.
Hey there :) Could you send us some screenshots so we can check the issue?
This would help:
Press ingame F3, screenshot us the profiling
Send us your Ping, (Press F1)
Turn on your performance graphs -> Graph settings, scroll down, checkmark Frametime Graphs -> see graphs on the right corner of your game
Press F10 ingame, a special log file will be created, you find it in your Avorion folder, its called "client-profile.json"
If you could send us this, it would help to find out whats wrong :)
Thank you!

My healing fighters only have heal target- return and collect fighters command which I believe is intentional.
However if I select myself and click on the repair button they do not do anything. They repair other ships fine.
Thanks!
Hey there :) We fixed this issue. Thank you for reporting! :)

I'm not sure if this has been reported yet, or is working as intended, but I noticed when using the x and y plane mirroring and placing both the square and edge emblem/name blocks on my existing ships (*Neulance Armada*) The blocks that were not directly placed would sometimes keep the same orientation as the "primary" block which was placed. This made the text/emblem on the opposite side of the mirror not be shown as it was facing towards the interior.
Also, sometimes it would mirror the correct way, and have the text/emblem face on the outer hull of the ship, but it would be upside down. I can understand why the text/emblem would be flipped for the y-plane mirroring, but think it would still make since to have it pointing "up" when building and mirroring.
I'm not at my personal PC at the moment so I can't provide screenshots, but I'm sure it is repeatable for others.
Hey TESL4, we saw that and are already fixing the issue :)
-
Action in the sector begins immediately after jump, but the player is unable to react until client loads the sector. This leads to cases when you jump into a sector, get ambushed by pirates, and helplessly peer on loading screen for 5-10 seconds, just to see your ship already being torn to pieces.
Also, "Press Space to continue" option is completely and totally useless and even harmful, because it leads the player to believe his ship is safe until player is ready to continue. This can be disabled, I know, but it's still a great source of WTFs per hour.
I believe player ships should not be added to the sector at all until player screen loads to the state where player can perform actions. I'm not talking about making ship invincible, but instead just load the sector, and when loading screen in through (or player have pressed "Space" button) ship is added to the sector via warp-in mechanics, like with the NPS ships.
Shouldn't be that hard to implement, huh?..
Hey there, thank you very much for your report. We will check this and take care of it. :)
-
Another error is that some words are not displayed in the Japanese font used by AVORION.
For example, there are hiragana and katakana called "Ze (ぜ)".
"Ze（ぜ）" in the translated PO.FILE is displayed.
Only the name of the ship is in error.
I'm Japanese, but I'm not an engineer.
I can only report errors. I'm sorry. :'(
Thank you very much for the screenshots ! :) They help a lot. We will take care of this issue as soon as possible.

Hey there, we are already on it! :) Was reported through bug reporting and we fix this. :)
