The 2019 Halloween event has arrived on the HappyDiggers Ark servers. This event
Event details (generally event multipliers multiply our server multipliers further):
- Increased rates to 2X Breeding (mating interval, egg hatch speed, and maturation)
- Increased rates to 2X Player XP
- Increased rates to 2X Harvesting
- Added Event-themed wild dino spawns
- Added randomly spawning gravestones and pumpkin patches
- Added candy corn themed supply drops
- Modified existing environment (trees) to be event themed
- Modified existing moon to be event themed (blood moon)
Because of issues with the servers lately, I'm planning on keeping this event live for quite a while. Possibly rolling into the possible thanksgiving event next month.
Server news, updates, and person updates:
I've moved into a very heavy work schedule that started a few weeks ago. As a result I have very little time to work on server related stuff during the week. I've been getting about 5 hours of sleep during the weekdays and I can't afford to spend any of that time troubleshooting stuff that breaks.
This means I can only work on big ticket issues on weekends, but I also need to spend time with my family and get regular life stuff done like errands and such. I will do my best to keep the Ark servers online and updated, but understand that when big changes happen game side it may take a while for it to get fixed/updated on the server's side. Starbound is generally low maintenance, so I expect it will remain running with few problems.
Valguero and Extinction are back up and playable, but Crystal Isles is still having a lot of problems.
The IP associated with the Ark servers has also updated from the ISP, so you'll have to re-enter the dynamic IP to sync your steam server favorites: ark.happydiggers.net:#####
You can also use the quick server connect options in the HappyDiggers.net server tab
