Worlds Adrift Dev Tracker

Speed is a calculation of weight, combined engine power, and a set value modifier. There is no coded cap (I believe that was confirmed on a dev's stream once), but there will be a natural limit due to a combination of maximum weight and maximum amount of engines with max power that fit within that weight.

It's worth remembering as well that engine weight contributes to the weight which slows you down, so adding more engines won't always give a huge bonus. It really depends on your ship but in many cases, more than 6-8 engines just become a waste of resources and weight that could be better spent on defences.

If you see a few brown chests close together, it often implies that's where the gold chest will spawn. One of the more common drops from the gold chest is actually a chest item, so many players will simply place it and drop any duplicate schematics they have in there for the next player to use. Likewise, some players are hoarders and will take those duplicates even if they don't need them - which is why they're still frequently empty ;)

Our new moderators have now been chosen! Please congratulate theopenbox and tenaciousleee on being the new moderators for the subreddit!

I'm afraid there were just too many applications for me to reply to everyone individually, but we appreciate the huge response we got. Trust in that all five active Worlds Adrift moderators read every application we got and it was a tough decision, but we're confident our choices will serve the community well.

The lovely Korean spam is an ongoing issue we're battling at the moment. It comes in waves and today was an especially big one, and I was at work so couldn't handle it, and I believe most other mods were busy too. One of the CS staff swung the hammer and resolved it pretty quickly once I passed it on though (as a result of your post here, so thanks for that :P)

That being said, the official forum is Bossa's call and they pick the mods for that not us, so this offer is only for Reddit I'm afraid ;)

Honestly, I was initially sceptical, I figured you would have submitted an application once I posted that we are accepting them - but the fact you decided to back off for the very thing that made me sceptical suggests you know what a community wants from its leadership.

As such, feel free to submit an application if you so wish and it will be considered amongst the rest :)

To my knowledge this is just an old wives tale and horns don't scare them away. As you said if anything, it should attract them - but honestly from what I've seen they just ignore the horns entirely.

Hey, guys!

It has been pointed out that it's not good reddiquette for game developers to moderate the Reddit of their own game. This Reddit is currently owned by official moderators (not employed by Bossa, but hand-picked by them), but we agree that it should really be community-ran, and as such we are looking for a few good members to hand over to.

If you would be interested in taking over moderation of this subreddit, drop me a PM and tell me why you think you'd be a good choice. How long you've been active in the community would be a plus too.

Once we've selected a few moderators Bossa staff will be removed as moderators. We (the current moderators) will co-moderate alongside the new mods for a few weeks until we're comfortable they have the games best interest at heart and they know what they're doing. From that point, we will officially hand over to them to run the subreddit - whether they keep us as moderators too is totally up to them. We want this t...

Hey, subreddit moderator here :) I am not employed by Bossa, but I am an official moderator on the official/steam forums as well as here. Fenix and Templar3lf are in the same situation as myself.

Now, I won't lie - I am far from a "Redditor" - until I was a moderator elsewhere I didn't even have a Reddit account. This Reddit was originally created by SmashT, who handed it over to Bossa, who then handed it on to us mods.

And honestly, I agree - this should be run by more active Redditors (as none of us are hugely active over here, and that's a bad thing)

SO, I'll be putting up a post shortly to see who is interested in taking on a Reddit moderator role. We will then select an initial few, and co-moderate alongside them. Once we feel comfortable that they are the right fit, we will hand off to them fully and this Reddit will be completely community-ran, as it should be. From there, they can decide whether to appoint more moderators or not.

(For the rec...

Maintenance is usually an hour - but could be a little longer due to patching the bug

Nope, just confirmed with Luke that ship frame damage is disabled unless it is a derelict. Whether that means a ship sinking into the ground or just Unregistered I don't know, I would assume the former but couldn't say either way.

EDIT: Herb just confirmed it's only ships sinking into terrain which can be salvaged now, as intended.

Honestly by the time you finish testing, it should have been fixed :)

We're having a late maintenance - a latenance if you will. It'll start in about 30 mins (19:00 BST / 20:00 CEST / 14:00 EDT / 11:00 PDT) and will update the game to fix the issues with ship frames.

Its called "Temple of the Silvanian Knights" - made by me :D Currently my only island in-game. I really should make more, this one took me about 35 hours though.

Maintenance will be delayed today to apply an update to the game. It will happen at around 14:30 BST / 15:30 CEST / 09:30 EDT / 06:30 PDT . It should last the same time as usual (around an hour). Patch notes in a bit!
