Welcome Colonists!
After a brief delay, that was totally outside of our control (we get to blame Windows update, hardware failure, and all hardware stores being closed for Christmas) - we are finally live!
So restart Steam to make sure you have the new SE update (over 1GB) - and lets get playing.
We recommend that you play the game on our main official server - it should be able to handle all of the players at once. But if you like - can can also click on Create Server button in the main menu, to either create your own singleplayer game, or host a public server.
Official server will be online in 5 hours or so!
Keep in mind - you have to play the game in English, localization is a total WIP.
Also for now - while entire solar system is there and explorable (using Ferry network) or by flying a space ship, survival type of gameplay is only possible on Beta Prairie atm. So we hope to see everyone surviving, and fighting in Beta Prarie.
Also for the first playthrough, we highly recommend you start the game with a tutorial (Outlander scenario) - it also shows some mid to late game content, that will take you hours and hours of survival gameplay on Beta Prairie to see.
Also - unless it`s something absolutely game breaking - no need to post bug reports just yet, we have a list of 300 or so bugs that we hope to get through over the next couple of weeks, at that point we`ll start asking players for bugs and feedback.
So yeah - lets get it started, and we`r hoping this pre-EA launch goes better than Atlas. That already is a milestone...:)
