Well, my carefully assembled exporer ship got blasted apart. Was on the ground exploring and saw it moving! Respawned back to the ship, which makes bullets go away (?). Hung on the keel as I tried to craft, he eventually set off explosives, killed the lift and the ship crashed on the ledge of an island. Was going about recovery when poo poo started blowing up. Shelling from a big metal ship.

So, how do you low jack poo poo in this game?

Edit: I've also applied for SDFG membership

This actually looks pretty interesting, kind of a more open Guns of Icarus-esque game.

How's it coming along in the beta?

Many good things in the stream today which was a preview of 6.0 alpha. Check discord for specifics. New alpha invites will come with this as well. ETA soonish likely 3/1 from what was said about it being in the final stages for bug fixing.

Far as I know, alliances don't actually do anything ingame yet. Alpha 5 also had a funny bug where the interface told every single player they were in our alliance.

Alliance leadership was passed on to me just now - anyone wanting to join that, I can accept your invite.

https://www.worldsadrift.com/alliances/slam-whales/

It uses their official forums instead of Steam, so post your account name here or on Discord.

Alpha 6 is out! https://www.worldsadrift.com/blog/worlds-adrift-6-0-live-full-patch-notes/

:siren: Respawns :siren:
Player respawns now have timers, random respawn is 2 per day and keeps you within the current zone, and you lose your personal reviver when respawning at any island. Don't use these up before joining a group!

Changes
They added progression to worldgen. The world is split by weatherwalls into four biomes with different rewards. There is a sandstorm now.
They added upgrades and new restrictions to shipbuilding.
They replaced health regen with a cooking system. Harvest trees and animals for the new food.
You can climb everything except buggy poo poo like stairs and certain ship parts. Press Q to grab a nearby surface and WASD to move around.
You can combine different quality resources.
You need to restart the client every few hours to get rid of island loading lag.
I'm hearing that falling damage is more severe.
Junk left on islands will decay.

I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that
The bugfixes look great. They pretty much addressed all the major issues.

So they added the climbing from breath of the wild.

Hard to tell if thats good. Can be irritating but that and the respawn timer makes pvp feel more meaningful.

When you first login the loading is very minimal. So at least it seems they will someday be able to solve that. You also don't get thrown around nearly as much on the ships. So all good stuff so far.

First balance patch https://www.worldsadrift.com/forums/topic/alpha-6-balance-changes-7th-april/

Good
– Faster metal respawn
– Metal nodes increased and yields doubled
– Reduced screen shake

Bad
– More islands have respawners

I haven't had a chance to log in yet. How common were the respawners this time?

I'm away for a few days and unable to check but before the patch there seemed to be a reasonable number of spawners - they just forgot or didn't consider tying them to islands with abundant resources, so players were ending up stranded.
