Dev FAQ Friday #2!
Hey Smallfolk! As we continue up to content update #1 it's important to keep you in the loop! We see a lot of questions pop-up here and there, so we're continuing with our weekly dev FAQ!
What are the plans for fast travel? Things are coming very soon to help with faster mobility. Short term, we're intending to add very quick ways to get around, although not instantaneous travel. This is an area we'll definitely be looking into further once other priority features are added and we hit a map-size that necessitates fast-travel.
Dedicated servers when? And I don't mean official servers but being able to rent a server if that makes any sense.. 😂 This is being worked on and we hope to have news in the coming months, it's a huge endeavor and one that really needs a lot of time and expertise.
Will there be dedicated servers for pvp? "There are plans to introduce dedicated server support at a later date.
Players will have the option to make them PvP or not. "
Will we get gear that will allow us to fly instead of glide? New armours are planned for most of the content updates leading up to and beyond the full game launch. Some of these will come with new movement abilities. We need to be mindful of player progression and development, once you can fly, what comes next? Faster flying? Even faster flying? Warp-like teleportation? There become fewer options the faster we power-creep.
"Are you planning to add a feature where you can use resources stored in a container for
workbenches in the same room? It's a pain constantly gathering and sorting resources from containers" Improvements to item storage and sorting are being considered as are changes to how the crafting system works
