Hi Galactic Survivalists,
We just released the first patch that fixes several issues from Alpha 5.0 and incorporates some of your feedback. We are currently working on another small patch that will be released very soon.
We were very excited to hear that after the Alpha 5.0 release some of the servers out there had reached the limit of 128 (simultaneous) online players! When we implemented this limit a long time, we thought that it would be enough but we were wrong ;) You never cease to amaze us! We now increased the player limit to 256. Let's see when you break it...
We also prepared a short video about the main features that were introduced in Alpha 5.0:
