New players: do you think you would have had a better experience starting near active players?

Yeah I agree, that’s why I proposed my alternate idea to let experienced players warp to noobs if they want to be a guide instead

Personally I’d like to just see my contract bulletin board to come into existence and then an option like that where people can have a board where they can post helpful content that people can access across the worlds. Allow people to provide help and stuff via that mechanism. Kind of a player driven FAQ board.

When you start the game you do the whole sanctum warp thingy (where you pick up the warp augment and the totem), but you are only given one planet to warp to per region – a new dev created planet that has a tutorial in it. They do all the basic stuff (this is how you walk, find food, place blocks, craft items, use a furnace, etc) and then bam a cinematic starts once the last tutorial mission is completed.

There have been posts about people wanting new player only starter planets that people have to move off at one point. I think it would have helped some but the time it takes to revamp like this isn’t probably going to help with the bigger problems we have in the game.

Honestly, I love this idea!
But that would be a lot of work for the devs. 4 tutorial planets? Why not just 1 and then they’re sent to a t1 or 2 in their region.

Yeah I was just thinking about lag or region issues. It could be the same layout. Just hosted in the various regions. Or a local side planet, before jumping to the main servers.
