I obviously cannot rule that out as weird bugs can always happen, but until now we haven't found a single word that didn't spawn all ores. Any worlds sent to us were just people not yet having found the ore they search for :)

Writing every second is going to be rough on an SSD, but fine for a leased one.

I've seen the caching of several queries in action, but it would make a lot more sense for the ones that I've noticed to be cached client-side as well, with the same cache expiration- it's going to cause the server the same order of magnitude of seek time to pull the cache from disk as to run a query from disk. and the same amount of I/O overhead to transmit it to the client.

That's no problem for current NVMe SSDs, and I personally use Datacenter ones for servers.

That is outdated, has been removed in 8.0, you do no longer get any free tools.

It surely also was earthwarming :)

Noted that down, but a) it's the wrong topic and b) we're not really putting focus on any future paid content while we are still in Early Access.

You can set the save frequency for the savegame in the configs, by default it's a minute. The database is written to continously, the more players, the more often. Pretty much every second. That's how databases works and why you cannot just 'kill' the game, that leading to a corrupted database. Big queries are cached and saved in specific non-changeable intervals.

Is there a reason there is no way to reset skills? I'd even be fine with it resulting in a full ownership/character wipe or whatever.

As it is at the moment if you pick a poor specialisation, or if a key person on a server leaves during mid - end game, the amount of time required to start to respecialise is ridiculou...

I removed the insulting post above and the one quoting it. Some of the mentioned inconsistencies are simply technical limitations that we plan to fix in the future, but are obviously of low priority or parts we did not yet do a balance pass on, as those are done in stages.

Neither of these reasons is a valid excuse to insult people.

Yes, we do plan a creative mode feature similar to Minecraft for the future.

None to Low, depending on your playstyle.
We recommend the default world size for that size of group.

No worries, this is an optional feature servers can use and we expect most servers to not to, it's for those people that really want that. None of the official servers will use that.
