@boundmore

no tier 4 sovereign world possible in AU region?

A private world will orbit a world of the same level or the nearest alternative. For example, Level 7 Exoworlds orbit Level 6 worlds.

@AeneaGames

Can the owner not set it as their home beacon either?

The issue is that if the world lapses, and the player has no friends, no locations, and no alternative beacons - then they can’t recover themselves into the universe without a new system.

@boundmore

I can’t do it via testing without somehow applying for a private world?

Private Worlds on Testing are free to try and will be removed once the update is released Live.

@Bonez307

Does this only apply to the time before a control is placed, or do we just not get block drops from sovereign worlds?

Only whilst you’re selecting colours.

@Tagris

Will the new planets have resources? Can we create ‘diamond tier’ planets, or are rented worlds only for low tier resources (iron/copper)

All planets have resources. And you can select any of the permanent resources profile. (ie not exoworld profiles.)

@Gorillastomp

I do not understand this part, so we aren’t able to make our own custom palette ?

You can make a custom palette from the colours already available in the private + public worlds.

@PrincessMaude

Any idea of the price those planets will be once they are available?
And how it’s going to work for the PS4 players once it all goes live?

Details of pricing and setup will be shared in the future.

@RedY3

World they are assigned to? What does this mean?

All worlds have a place in the universe, and private worlds will be attached to and only visible from 1 public world. Private worlds basically need a connection point.

@james can you just reroll random colors on a planet repeatedly until you get the new color you want? Or is the initial set of random colors done just once? and the only thing you can change is to select existing colors on other planets?

[majorvex]

So our private world will orbit the planet that we place the Sovereign planet control on?

[RedY3]

Thanks for the clarification.

@james

• They may only place Beacons and World Controls, and there will be no Meteorites or Creatures, and no Block drops will be provided.
• After placing the World Control they will be asked to set up the Worlds block-colours

@majorvex I think you place the world control on the sovereign world.

@Simoyd

It sounds like they’re spawned random and you can manually change it at least once. Like you state by selecting from existing colors.

What I’m gathering is that new colors can only be given on the original, random spawn. A “reroll” would be cool but I personally doubt it since you know people would roll until they force something new.

It’s also not clear if you can change them manually again after the initial time, i.e. once block drops have been enabled.

[boundmore]

how will plots work on sovereign worlds?
do we have to share our plots between public and sovereign worlds?

to be true I would love to have separate bulk of “sovereign plots” to be used on private worlds only; could be added alongside normal plots, whenever they are purchased)

or is plotting on private worlds totally free? (just using a plotter like on public, but without using up character’s plots)

[Drelkag]

This is pretty much how I wanted private worlds to be implemented. Give groups a huge space to work on but don’t allow it to break the economy.

[LunaiHunter]

i want it to be released but still bugs to be fixed.

I feel like that will cause drama between the guy who bought a planet and got a new color her likes compared to the other guy tho bought a planet and didn’t get a color they like.

[Clexarews]

Other guy should have waited.

@Simoyd

Agreed. Hopefully you can change as colors are released, but it sounds like it has to regenerate the world it might be super inconvenient.

TBH I’m not expecting it.

@Clexarews

Other guy should have waited

Yeah but then we have a waiting circle where people don’t generate colors until the color they want is generated …

Hopefully we have enough people that are OK with existing colors to get some new ones generated.

@james once a new color is random generated is it available for use/reuse on other worlds, or is it only enabled after someone sets it into a world palette?

I ask because this would create some social pressure where your new planet offers a new color but it’s not part of the palette you actually want - while you know it’s something that another player is hoping for, or just want to help in adding new colors to the palette selection list.

[LunaiHunter]

i want my private planet to have pretty river valleys and icy mountains.

[BabyCookie]

Is there a setting were planet is Public but Warp only (no portal)

[Bones]

Simply speechless with a lot of potential awe
