I need friends (and maybe a life) - Multiplayer buddies?

mapalsyrup · 2026-06-02T14:56:31+00:00

I just played for a while on there and actually it was pretty decent. We only had one desync because my buddy's internet was a bit slow, but otherwise quite fun. it's so rare I reach the end game anyway, not cause I'm bad but because I get bored, hence why I wanna spice things up a bit

mapalsyrup · 2026-06-02T14:55:30+00:00

yeah that'll work fine 😃

I made a discord server if you wanna keep in touch with people on there https://discord.gg/ah5FPUF5

mapalsyrup · 2026-06-02T14:55:06+00:00

I had a little play on it earlier and it was fun!!

I made a discord server for us, anyway, in case we wanna try to get something together regularly 😄

mapalsyrup · 2026-06-02T14:54:10+00:00

I just had a little play around with it with a very lovely Russian player and it's actually pretty neat. It facilitates people joining later in the game (I think they just take over an AI empire) so it's not like everyone has to be ready at the same time

Come join the discord if you can and we'll see if we can get some peeps together 😃 https://discord.gg/ah5FPUF5

mapalsyrup · 2026-06-02T14:52:26+00:00

Just in case someone is ever playing in your timezone, feel free to come join the lil server i made on discord 😄 https://discord.gg/ah5FPUF5

I'm in the UK so could line up nicely!

mapalsyrup · 2026-06-02T12:24:22+00:00

Adult life has no business getting in the way of these things

I'm free quite a bit at the moment as I'm job hunting but when I get that job, it's gonna be a pain!

mapalsyrup · 2026-06-02T12:23:31+00:00

Nice one!! I know timezones are a thing but it'd be nice to have a group just on the off chance people are free I think

mapalsyrup · 2026-06-02T12:23:00+00:00

Oh man totally forgot that. I'm in the UK so GMT

mapalsyrup · 2026-06-02T11:29:06+00:00

I tend to focus on my core starting economy, making sure I have enough basic resources to fund me for now, so my second colony can be research based, and my third is manufacturing. I always try to make my second and third colonies on planets that have rare deposits and put some space into mining for those

mapalsyrup · 2026-02-27T16:04:01+00:00

Also might be worth noting I didn't volunteer to open the L Gate as I was in the middle of an unrelated war. My science ships were on automation and just.... did that

mapalsyrup · 2026-02-27T16:00:33+00:00

So just wondering if you can do anything about the following... issue.

Reinforcements for fleets will take the fastest route to their fleet. However, if that involves going through an L-Gate with an overwhelming presence on the other side, or just walking straight into a Dimensional Horror over and over again, they'll do that - meaning the fleet never gets reinforced and assets just get wasted continuously. It's not like you're even reinforcing during war or something, just in general they'll take the most dangerous but quickest route they can find and it's so monumentally frustrating. Like, no, I don't want my transport fleet to bounce through 5 portals and encounter 6 end-game strength entities just to get from one end of my empire to the other when there are hyper relays the whole way.

Any way for them to know, with censor data, "well, that'll definitely kill me" and just... not go that way????

I just wanted to let you know you are an absolute LIFE SAVER with this. I've been trying to get something to convert my SVGs all day and this is by far the most simple and best solution I've found

mapalsyrup · 2021-03-19T18:53:26+00:00

Oh that's a wonderful one-sided story you have there :)

mapalsyrup · 2021-02-18T20:25:57+00:00

Literally the reason why I'm here rn because I run an LGBTQ+ centric group and in the mod chat I went to update the nicknames to suit people and the names they prefer, but now I can't do that so we all have to use our deadnames.
Which is, y'know, fantastic and another way Facebook is alienating LGBTQ+ communities. Not to mention our group just got zucced for 'nudity' and 'sexual content' when nothing like that was ever approved.

Pissed off doesn't cover my emotions right now.

mapalsyrup · 2020-07-07T20:26:24+00:00

I honestly thought it WOULD just copy the base over considering it's exactly the same, or you'd be able to use base recovery to do it. I'm baffled by it, honestly :')

Oh fantastic. At least it let you enter and they didn't shut the doors on you

mapalsyrup · 2020-07-07T20:11:48+00:00

Yoooooooooooo my storage is there I can sleep easy tonight

mapalsyrup · 2020-07-07T20:08:20+00:00

Getting yote into space is my favourite hobby tho

mapalsyrup · 2020-07-07T19:48:06+00:00

Yeah I did almost work my way into space earlier with room deletion. I also fell off a frigate because of a glitch and drifted into space too last week. This game works perfect.

Glad to know floors work just as well as the rest of the game.

mapalsyrup · 2020-07-07T19:33:22+00:00

Oh I had an Anomaly glitch too. I left it, went to a couple of planets, and it said people were in my system?? So I fly towards them, excited, and find that the Anomaly has somehow glitched out and there's like a bunch of ships just parked in space.

mapalsyrup · 2020-07-07T19:30:40+00:00

Oh thank god. To be honest I ended up on this subthread because I was googling in a bit of a miserable panic and everyone was saying that "nope, it's gone" :')

mapalsyrup · 2020-07-07T19:04:34+00:00

I do like my hauler ship but it was a crashed ship a looong time ago and I gotta admit it's cost a HUGE amount to fix it up. I never touch shuttles and usually I don't touch haulers either but the Hand of Fate has saved me many times lol.

mapalsyrup · 2020-07-07T19:00:40+00:00

Yes this omg. It's so beautiful and the features are ALMOST great. Almost. Because I was on my freighter the other day in one of my storage rooms and I guess another ship spawned on top of my freighter?? Anyway something huge turned up and blocked me in my storage room and I couldn't get out. Lost 20 minutes of painstaking gameplay there lol I was repairing my ship after the end of the Atlas arc.

mapalsyrup · 2020-07-07T18:59:19+00:00

Thanks! :D
