Hi there! I have uploaded another build to steam fixing the issue of the beating stick.
You now start with one, and I've been testing inventory saving by finding things and logging in and out, and it all seems to be working fine.
So you don't have to find anything to start hitting wood, ores, or players
Cleaned up some small terrain glitches, and keep note the terrain is currently temporary, in a couple / few weeks time we will have the procedural terrain system working, allowing much more exploration.
Expect another update or two this evening / tonight. I am looking into saving your buildings, and a variety of other bug listed in the bugs section.
Allow a but for the dedicated servers to be updated to this new build. I also believe I have the naming the servers issue fixed, so they will all have unique names soon, and you will be able to do so on your own servers too.
More soon, and thank you everyone for the great support so far! :)
