You still need a workbench.

Are we able to play on the testing server? I might have set it up before when seeing a post about it, but for some reason I don’t remember.

Getting it ready before we move the testing version to the live (main) version. So any help finding these bugs so we can squash them is very much appreciated. :slight_smile:

I seen this few days ago and it happen again today (but it could be a problem from my computer) sometimes when i’m swimming forward i couldn’t move the camera to the left side with the keyboard. It works normally for the right side or when i stop moving forward.

Not sure it could be reproduce and as i said it’s maybe due to my computer.

edit : sorry i just saw i’m on the wrong topic

I do not know if this is intended.

I connected my machines with pipes, but only the 2 closest machine get spark, so i have to tear down and rearrange my machine-park when i want to use another.

The piping has to lead directly to each machine. It can’t pass through other machines at the moment at least. Try running the pipes behind or under the machines.

You can now craft warp conduit with rocks and timber and then once you’ve created a warp you should be able to travel back home to your saved locations
