I wonder if you could run the server 24/7 on your PC and play the game through your xbox thingy?

I seriously doubt the devs have any intent to run servers for people, especially considering the 10 client limit in the game.

Its running my PC 24/7 that I want to avoid. That game Grounded has some way of sharing gameworlds doesn't it? Its an indie game that went from early access to full release, but they've been able to implement some kind of world share system without having to run your pc on 24/7.
I have no idea about some other games systems.
There are a lot of factors when it comes to sharing world data.
The biggest issue that comes to mind is what happens if two people decide to build in the same place? Unless they are logging in to some shared service of some kind there is a chance of things being destroyed if they overlap when the save data is put back together.

For all I know that other game devs are hosting worlds ... in that case the game is dead when the devs pull the plug in the future.

So just saying another game does it means nothing.
