Welcome to the Alamo Hardcore Survival Server Group!

Updates:

This is where the coordination for all Server Iterations, sub-Steam Groups, and announcements for Winners of each Iteration.Are you ready to put your Space Engineers survival mettle to the test versus other players? How about harnessing your time and skills to work in a game towards an actual mission, or purpose?First of all, I want to make this very clear: This server has no mod that adds/removes/adjusts how the vanilla SE 1x1x1 mining/construction/weapons/refining/assembling/welding/grinding mechanics work. I don’t want players being discouraged to join a competitive server because of some block that a mod introduced that they aren’t familiar with, rendering them at a disadvantage to other players who are familiar to that block.With that said, there are only 2 mods active: 1st one is a custom respawn pod that spawns on the earthlike planet to provide an alternative start. The 2nd mod is a script that slowly shrinks the safe area, (similar to games like PUBG and Fortnite), but instead of the game only lasting around 30minutes or so, it lasts a month. If grids and players don’t move into the safe area, they take damage over time until they’re dead or their ship disintegrates. The last player or faction standing with a functional MedRoom wins. I worked out the final known bugs to this “Sphere” mod last night.Why shrink the play area over the course of a month? There a few reasons why we are doing month-long iterations that restrict play area:1) By shrinking the play area over time it gives players a better opportunity to experience PVP after they’ve had some time to build up a little bit.2) Server iterations that last a long time are a lot harder to maintain in terms of Sim speed.3) Players might lose interest after a long time of playing on a server with no set iteration end date. Also, with all they’ve built, they won’t have the opportunity to actually use their combat vessels that they proudly constructed in survival for what they were meant for due to unscheduled server iteration resets because of sim speed issues.4) Most importantly, it gives the game purpose.But why stop at a competitive, purposeful, Space Engineers server that is positioned to run smoothly and that unlocks this game’s potential?Well, maybe in the future we could make every other iteration a paid entry and the winner gets paid actual money? The future of this server depends on a healthy population of players playing in it, and that population could be the deciding factor to determine if monetary winnings are worth it or not.5/02/2018 - Iteration 1 is now online!
