It takes surprisingly long to get a shitload of dedicated servers spread across the entire planet. We aren’t there just yet, but we are close. For example anyone who can break into a freestanding sealed 2×2 base and capture it on video can claim some sort of reward. We are almost at a point where we can start putting bounties on exploits. I would say makes them impossible, but I know how crafty you guys are at breaking into bases. The latest patch blocks coming out of crouch if there isn’t room, this should greatly reduce the number of exploits possible. As the standup process is unstoppable by the physics solver, players could get themselves into rocks and other objects by “teabagging” surfaces. One of the biggest ways people were glitching into objects was caused by us not checking if there is space for your head when you stand up. While this is a dick move, it’s not achieved by hacks. Some players figured out how to exploit this to push yourself through walls. When a player gets literally stuck between a rock and a hard place, the solver would end up pushing them through one of the objects. The main issue here is whenever 2 objects occupy the same space, the Physics solver does its best to separate by pushing things away from each other iteratively. People breaking into bases using exploits (not HAX!) has been fairly common and a tough one to fix.

I just released a patch that should iron out some of the biggest gamebreakers we’ve been seeing this week. Another insane week keeping the wheels on.
