How does the map size in this game compare to Ark? Can you actually hide somewhere? No boats / sea creatures / flying right? Also the Conan universe has had some degree of magic. Have the devs made any mention of that? Is there a page I can go to see a roadmap or dev plans?

So the more powerful a mage is, the more decrepit and frail he is. They've also said it's going to be tied mainly to necromancy rather than flashy fireballs and poo poo.

I don't understand why there are so many "goon" servers. Kimsemus' is the official goon server though, right? Also, for server admins (unconfirmed): quote:If you are the server owner or admin, there is an option in your serversettings.ini for aggro range.. It appears to be default at 9000 cm APX 300 FT.. If you reduce this to 1000 cm apx 30 ft, you will notice if you are near dungeons, you will get less lag. Adjust accordingly on your sever for best performance.

lilspooky posted:How does the map size in this game compare to Ark? Can you actually hide somewhere? According to the internet, the base map size for Ark is 36kmē playable space, and 12kmē of ocean. Conan Exiles is 53kmē of playable area which includes water as it's all swimmable. No boats or flying, and the only sea creatures are very angry crocodiles on the beaches. Hiding? Depends on what you mean. If you want to hide while hunting, it's possible if you go far enough north, but that only cuts back on people roaming around. There's a few areas where you can get yourself down in a valley and be largely invisible to everyone, but those spots are on the extreme fringes of the map and that unfortunately means you're far from a water source, which is bad news. Hiding your 'base' is also maybe sorta possible if you build small and try to wedge into a nook somewhere, but you will be found sooner or later, and you need room to add crafting benches, so eventually the best you can do is to be 'off the beaten path', not hidden. The constant need for food and water isn't as bad as Ark but all food will spoil eventually, so you can't shut yourself in your base forever. Also, the safest places to build a base at the moment is on top of a mesa, some of the best spots will be visible for 3-4km away, so hiding isn't always in your best interest.

I wouldn't worry too much, Duster said a majority of the "real goon clan" is going to quit due to BMW destroying their dumb poo poo after they threatened us. They will soon have openings for goons who know what survival games are. p.s. Don't build like this and get angry when people break it.   On a serious note Kimsemus' server is the official goon server yes. I don't know why other goons keep buying poo poo servers. The official one has been up for 12 hours with no crashes and no lag until about an hour ago some weird desync poo poo started happening. Just needs a restart and everything will be golden. This is the best server I've played on by far. Others can't even stay up for more than an hour and it's constant rear end rubber banding.

Lmao there will be openings in the goon clan since BMW isn't taking on recruits. Idk they seem to hate the LGBTQ community. Maybe they are secretly Nazis. Usually goons rush new games then bounce after a day or two. The 12 or so goonies building that stairway might quit idk. I and Bear in the Woods rebuilt most of the base, only concerned about half the clan that spent a lot of time making a silly things might be mad that silly things is in a state of disrepair.

I think we're going to set a cron job to run a server restart script every 8 hours or so, and add a text warning if we can. The server control and config tools are still pretty buggy and rudimentary. But beyond that, we had about 50 people on at max last night (just goons), and the server wasn't rubber banding or doing anything weird beyond what happens because of the wonky early access bugs, so we're pretty pleased. Tonight we will take the password off and open it up to the public. There aren't a ton of 70 slot servers up, and I think ours is the only run that doesn't run like poo poo, so we should get pretty good traffic. There currently isn't an AFK timer, but I think we can config that as well to stop server squating beyond the server resets purging everyone out. People are free to run their own servers of course, but this one is running on a 64GB dedicated box on a main pipe, so I challenge anyone to run one with better performance, and as soon as mod support is added, we'll be adding mods that goons request. I don't think anyone can claim an "official" goon server, but as far as I am concerned, this one is the one. We managed to do what FunCom didn't let the community do: we coded their Windows only server files to run on a Linux box and will keep adding a lot of backend support and changes to improve and fix poo poo. It's an ongoing process, so there might be some bumps but we're pretty happy with the results so far. As far as the different clans, we'll try to increase the support for clans from 30 to 70 today, along with adjusting XP rates and poo poo further, and adding a longer day cycle. And changing the server display region from Europe to NA, since it's hosted in the US. But BMW as a "clan" in the game is more or less the core group I and others usually play with, we've taken on a bunch of new people though as well, and I strongly encourage other goons and friends to form clans as well, or stay with the "main" goon clan under Duster. It's just more fun this way. When pubbies flood the server I'm sure we will band together, but if a goon didn't knock out a pillar wrecking half of a base thing, a pubbie would have immediately because  don't build a skyfort predicated on one pillar in a survival game? My general rule no matter what happens though is Goons > not goons. I think BMW and any other goon clan will always rush to the aid of another when attacked by pubbies, but when there is no one to fight the wolves turn on each other.  We've added, and will also add, more voice channels on the BMW Discord (linked in the OP) for different groups to play on and can add server groups special for large groups as needed. There are also all the conan information channels with *useful info* as well. If people have questions though, feel free to PM me there with concerns or server issues, or anything that needs attention and we'll try to take a look at it. Would really like to thank Tempus Thales and others though who put so much work into getting the server running this weekend. We ran the math, and we feel like we can support 125+ player slots easily, but right now the game is hardlocked at 70. Remember: The server password will be taken off at around 8pm EST tonight, so pubbies will rush the server in short order. Prepare for hilarity.  You can find the server either in game or using the steam browser by searching "something dongful" Kimsemus fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Feb 6, 2017 |

Everyone knows that if at least one human sacrifice is not made to Yog the Holy Tree every day the sun won't rise. The purpose of the Holy Ladder of Babble is to make human sacrifice easier, this way we can march people off it instead of dirtying our hands bludgeoning them to death. If it was destroyed while I was away  it only took like two hours.

Stairs should be able to clip through pillars, so with four spaced out pillars you should be able to place ceiling tiles that you can link stairs to. If you start it off with a foundation grid on the bottom so that everything clicks into place it should work.

His reply was "The official channel is the Steam forums, but they are a steaming pile of poo poo filled with crazy nerds." I'm sure they've already received these suggestions before, but my biggest QoL issues with the game are not being able to see another players name until you're essentially humping them. Being able to see what clan they're in, and having your own clan mates names highlighted over a greater than normal rate would be nice. The second thing is respawn mechanics. I'd like to see something similar to Ark where sleeping bags(in this case, bedrolls) are automatically assigned to you when placed. Regular full beds do not need to be claimed and are available for unlimited use by all clan mates.
