The first dialogue with the tutorial npc let's you skip the tutorial, or skip to open world.

There's no switch. The game starts with a tutorial, that transitions into the first campaign, which plays somewhat like a rogue-like. You lose the Falcon ship - you have to restart from scratch(FTL style).
But after beating the first campaign boss, the game transitions into a more open world setting, with a main spawn hub, where you(or any new player) can start fresh at any time. There's still a final boss(and with the latest update several Dreadnaughts bosses) present at that point but it's goal now is to destroy that main spawn hub. If it gets destroyed - it's pretty much GG. But there are ways to help defend it.
What most call MMO - is starting a server and skipping directly to the open world part. Where anyone can connect and start their own journey. Hence why it is used on the public server(s) that I know of.

Currently no, this would require me to run some server somewhere that would keep this public list.
For now anyone who wants to host a public server just posts about it on our discord.

Thanks for the support.
Any donations are good, but don't do it if you can spend it on something better in life :)

Progress is slow. Currently in the process of changing work places, and other irl things don't make it easier too, so... it is what it is.
But it's moving, even if slower than I want it to be.

This sounds very similar to issues you get when UDP packets are not coming through.

You must have the scrap on your character for this, not in the ship's cargo.

Should be fixed now.

Strange, nobody else encountered this issue before. Please try the newest release.

Better ask on Discord. More chances on getting help there.

All the good plot ideas are saved for the full release :)

Sadly no changes in this area so far. The page is almost ready though.

Well I know of several players that are playing on mac. So I'm not sure. But what is this M1 thing anyway?

Indeed saves are not compatible.

Also you would miss out on all the new content, if you would somehow make it work.

try java 11 or 13

This is now fixed, please redownload the game.

There's even a public MMO like server being hosted by one of the players. Details are on Discord.

Yes it's a bug related to using latest java versions.

I've added a bundled jre for the windows version, so that should be fixed there.

Linux version has a problem with it's bundled jre, which is what I'm currently fixing.

Thanks

In the final release client and server will be merged into one app.

Because the main intent of the game is to be a 4 plyer coop experience. With roguelike mechanics. Meaning - you die and restart.

So there's no need to host a dedicated server unless you are planning to run an MMO like mode on it.

Once the game is released and there are plans for an MMO mod, I will make it possible to run a dedicated server app without the client UI.

a0.8.21 is the latest one.

You can ask around about the CE version on our discord.

The steam page is currently in development. We already registered the game on steam but the page is empty atm.

All news and details are posted on our Discord.

Please check out our discord for help.

Currently NPCs are quite dumb, and can not be influenced directly.(This will be improved in the steam version of the game, check discord for details)
NPCs do go healing on their own, when their health drops low enough, if there is a powered med bay on the ship. Same thing for the O2.

We have a FAQ on our discord you might find a solution there. Or just ask the community there.

It sure is being worked on.
But I'm not planning any more updates for the free version(that you can download here on itch).
At least not any time soon

Currently we are working hard on the steam version of the game.
All communications and dev log updates are posted on our discord.

In the currently available public version of the game it is not possible to add new races.

It might be possible to do in the steam version of the game which is currently in active development.

If you have more questions or want faster answers you might want to try our discord.

Hi.

To be honest I have no idea how paypal handles different cards.

I can only suggest that if you don't manage to somehow solve it - save it for when we release on steam ;)

Well, current tutorial is temporary. And later on we plan to replace it.

NPCs don't respawn.

You can buy new ones from some slavers or from some trade stations.

There's a group on our Discord for finding players.
You might want  to check it out.

Hi.

I'm sorry but I don't have the time to help everyone out when there are some issues not directly caused by the game itself.

When people are having trouble related to their Java version or to some other OS related settings, I can't be there all the time to help them fix it.

This is the reason why I always divert everyone to our Discord channel, since there are more people and chances to find an answer to your question are a lot higher there.

True. There isn't.
:P
I have disabled it for now. Since it has bugs atm, and I'm currently busy working on other more important things in the game.
But, you never know, maybe one day ;)

Hi. Thanks for the bug report.
If you would like to get answers to your questions (and more), please ask them on our discord.

You can force any resolution through the GameData.dat file.
But there might be issues, since the game is oriented for 16:9 resolutions mostly

Hi.
Best if you ask this on our discord.
IIRC someone already did/tried to do this

Info about this is available on our Discord.

Better ask on Discord Modding channel
