All of you are so close in votes that it only seems fair to award all of you. Please contact me with a cosmetic item you would like (add me on steam) if you're inclined. I will contact you eventually, regardless.

New month of voting starts tonight at midnight. You can vote once per day, resetting at midnight Eastern time. Votes help the server's visibility to bring in newcomers. 5 votes will also earn you a dino recolor! (see admin or ask around if you aren't sure what that is.)

Upon further inspection, there may have been an overlapping problem with two different things looking for mod updates. It seems to have been falsely reading that the mods were out of date, and trying to reacquire them.

I am trying to fix it. Please bear with us. :)

The problem is that if mod updates were entirely disabled, and a mod updates, if you personally download said mod update then you cannot connect to the server until the server updates. If an admin isn't available, then it could cause connection problems.

Thank you for your patience!

Seems to be something that happened between v245.0 and v245.1. All unconscious player bodies are now "standing up" wherever they were ragdolled. If your body was sunken into your foundations, you will likely die to crush/physics damage when you log in, or have fallen through the world and drowned.

I am not sure if the body is recoverable yet, but you may be able to use the corpse finder to retrieve it. (Only if you die upon login)

This is hopefully a one-time issue with the patch/hotfix. Very, very new issue. If you log on, I highly recommend you loot your tribemates to store their gear. I have personally visited a handful of bases and stored some players' gear on their fabricators or smithys.

A rollback wouldn't help, sadly, because it will either just happen again, or a lot of players aren't online and won't be able to recover their items. I cannot personally see dead bodies or locate them either.

Last major bug they introduced (and may even still be in), for the record, was that every patch/hotfix was deleting all rocket propelled grenades on every server. So the devs have some kinks to work out. :(
