Server update!

To begin, the server is getting some much needed love after the update which messed up all our spawn ships.
The update is 'ready' but I will not be posting it immediately. This is simply to let you know what's coming soon (actually soon, not keen soon)

We are adding some new mods with this server update that will enhance the PvE aspect of the server greatly.

First is the Modular Encounters Spawner, which allows the next two mods to work.
Air Traffic, which is more or less pirates in atmosphere.
Corruption PvE, which are some new more powerful pirate style ships that occupy space.

Quick note: these new 'Corruption' ships have weapons that can take down your shields and destroy your ship if you are not prepared, DO NOT ATTACK unless you are prepared and have a decent sized shield and weapon loadout. They will not go quietly.

Second thing we are adding is the Build Info mod to the server. Which assists you in finding air leaks and gives detailed information for blocks.

Lastly, we will be adding back the Auto Ore Collection Mod on request.


As for other relevant updates, I have updated the spawn ships to be hydrogen powered only.
They have been given a full tank of fuel so you shouldn't have any serious issues with moving around the world with them, as they are the exact same form factor as the ion powered version.


I've updated the world containing the server's mods on the workshop so you can easily download them without re-connected to the server repeatedly!

I've also updated the server's modlist collection on steam.

Secondary Announcement (please read above first)

Future updates are going to be slow. That is why I am doing this update now. I have no time frame because this is an extensive project I will need to focus on even if I get help working on them.

Hydro Survival has always been about the fuel, but when you see pirates or ships with Ions, it ruins the 'no ion' part of the server.
I am currently working on removing all ion powered ships, including pirates and the new Corruption ships, and replacing them with Hydrogen powered versions.

In addition to those ships, I will be primarily starting on the ion powered ships sold by the stations, since a lot of these ships are ion powered by default.
This will reduce the cost of the ships because Ions take much more resources than hydrogen thrusters do to build.
Although, you will have to account for hydrogen in the new ships. I will add full tanks, but the ships will need to be modified to allow this.

To help keep the server online I am also starting a monthly donation goal.
The goal is going to start at 30$, and I will let everyone know when we've reached the donation goal.
(We've reached it for this month already!)

The goal is small, but will help maintain the server and keep it from going offline in the future.

You will get donation incentives (below) to show appreciation for helping the server.

You can Donate Here to help the server: https://www.paypal.me/XeroCreator this is my personal link, but it does go to the server donations (paypal is weird)
