    Hello, Antarans!

    Yes, it's here, the server has been updated. We are now running on Pleased Giraffe - Update 1!
    We aren't going to be performing the wipe right now as we're still waiting for our lore to be ready for publishing, and we're hoping that that isn't going to take us too terribly long. I know how frustrating it can be to play on a server that you know is going to wipe, but please bear with us as we think the end result will be worth it.

    As well, the official Antares Crafting Mod has been released! This mod is still early in design, but we do intend to add features to it over time. It will be our officially supported crafting mod, so if you have any issues with it you're free to get support from us. You can read more about this mod on it's mod page, linked below.
    Antares Crafting Mod | Official Chucklefish Forums!

    Lastly, we're lifting the ban on ILC. Since we weren't able to fully confirm whether or not it was truly the source of the issues we were experiencing, we don't really see a reason to keep it banned. We know that a lot of people enjoy using it, and so we've decided to officially allow it again. (But let's be honest, you all kept using it anyway. ;P)

    So, just to recap:
    • The server has been updated to the latest stable update.
    • ACM 1.0.0 has been released and is our officially support crafting mod.
    • ILC has been unbanned and may be used again without worry.
    That's it for this announcement, ladies and gents.
    Take care, and have fun!

    Yey. I did indeed use ILC. The sitting and protection mods are just too sweet to pass up. It's not just about being able to craft and spawn everything. Looking forward to playing on Antares yey

    I've been told that there are other mods that do those things on their own. They should be compatible with ACM. If I can get permission, or figure out how to code it myself without looking at examples, then I'll add those features to ACM. However, ACM isn't intended to be a roleplay tool, so it's sort of an odd idea to me to add a feature like sitting to it when stuff like that could really have it's own mod, but I see the appeal and how it'd make it easier to just lump it with ACM.

    I'd get them done in the next couple of days. That's not to say it'll take us only a couple of days to get the lore out, but you never know.

    Not yet. If you want to give ACM a shot, it'd be appreciated. Feedback is a wonderful thing <3

    ACM is beautiful, it works very well infact, I'd actually recommend it over ILC, it just needs invincibility, sitting abilities and noclip thrown in and this thing would be perfect.

    Thanks for the kind words, I'll start working on those features.
    You left out better categorization, though.

    I personally think the categorization is fine, but that might just be me and me alone.

    ACM 1.1.0 has been released and adds NoClip, Sitting Anywhere, and Invincibility.
    Much thanks to Reno and his Sitting Mod w/ Noclip, as if he hadn't made it publicly available and redistributable it would have taken much longer to get these features added.

    That's why we thought it was ILC mostly, though not every planet it was used on corrupted. Hardly vindictive evidence, but we wanted to be safe.

    It's not going to be a character wipe, just a world wipe. Your chars should be safe.
    Side note, I lost the ip to the server. Is there somewhere I can find it?
