Pretty much invite only. Everyone puts passwords on their games because it only takes one jerk to run in and break and steal everything in a matter of minutes.
You'll want to use the LFG subforum to find other people, and/or add people on your friends list/discord if you want to play with others.
Thanks for the answer. Hopefully the devs can possibly do something about this kind of toxic behaviour?
I'll give it try, the atmosphere and the gameplay are looking pretty good to me.
Have a great rest of 2022!
This game is not being developed as a "random-join" multiplayer game.... It's a SOLO or "coop with friends" (people you know or trust) kind of game.
The game is not a PVP game either, and "friendly fire" is toggled off by default... IF players wish to participate in pvp (friendly fire), every person would have to toggle on their friendly fire button individually... The reason I mention this is because it means that allowing "randoms" to join your world could potentially go very bad, very quickly... They could start destroying other players bases, stealing their items and the "victim" would have no way to injure or defend against the offender... and that's just the LEAST harmful thing a bad guy could do...
Theres things much worse such as being able to use console commands and spawning (example) Level 100 mobs to rampage through players bases, and killing such a monster would instantly crash the server due to the overwhelming amount of loot suddenly dropped by a mob like that, and it would KEEP crashing until that world is rolled back to previous save, etc.
Don't hope too much for there to be any "fixing it" by the devs as that's not the type of game they are creating, and likely not going to spend time and money programming "anti-grief" measures.
