MyDU has reinvigorated my interest in the game, however, I am missing some of my favorite ships. There was a creator on DU creators that created ships i used constantly. I have linked some of the ships below, unfortunatley the seller no longer has a shop in game, does anyone happen to have a blueprint for the ships from this seller that can be exported?

Good day everyone,

So I caved and bought MyDU. Attempting to get the underground mining back and seem to be to dumb to figure it out. I am wondering if anyone has any proper links or video's or the time to help me out.

Thank you in advance!

I played DU back in 2020 around November IIRC, and I fell deeply in love with it. I still have memories of building my first ship back in the Haven moon and flying to Earth on it, it was in the middle of the night, before I attempted the flight I rescued a guy that was stranded on Haven and he wanted a ride to earth, then I set the course and got out of the moon while on VC with the guy, I played Space oddity from bowie as I started the flight and I can't describe the feeling, looking at the planet getting closer and closer, as I was trying to slow down since I was going way too fast, I still remember "the feeling" even to this day, no other space game has given me that feeling of "being" in the space, to this day I'm 100% sure that's the closest thing that an astronaut feels while on the space.

I "landed" close to a market, and while I almost burned the entire ship, we did survive, I joined the guild of the guy, we started to build stuff and I tried to build a facility, then It took me a while to learn the mechanics of the Ore mining, I had a lot of fun, honestly I think I spent at least 200 or 300 hours back then.

Now, it's been 4 years since that, and I'm thinking about going back to the game, but the last time I tried to play it on 2022 it was .. weird, like it was the same game but lacked many things.

My question is, is it worth? what is the current state of the game? I remember PVP sucked cause BORG cubes were the Meta, and flying on crowded planets was horrible because of "invisible" small space elevators that raised to the sky and you could hit without notice. But even then, I've played different games like NMS, Empyrion, Space Engineers, and besides the last two no other game has given me that Feeling I had back then.

I am concerned that NQ is going to go bankrupt soon, is this an online-only service? Meaning once I buy it do I still have to authenticate through their servers to play locally?

Private hardware PCs? Cloud?

Considering recommended hardware specs are

OS: Windows 10 64 bit/Linux Processor: Intel Core i7 7700 (3.6 GHz) / AMD Ryzen 7 1700 (3.00 GHZ) Memory: 16 GB RAM Graphics: AMD RX 580 (8 GB) / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 (8 GB) DirectX: Version 11 Network: Broadband Internet connection Storage: 40 GB available space Additional Notes: To run Dual Universe, you will need a CPU with AVX instructions and a SSD is recommended.

Whats a good way to run this? Cheers

So, what sort of mods are people planning to make? I've not really looked at what is and isn't possible, but can you create your own classes of objects, like a type of shield or engine or container? How about adding NPCs, spawning and controlling movement of cores with their attached voxels and elements?

Is there the potential for making themed servers for example?

I think that NQ lost their opportunity with the main multiplayer experience, but this direction really lets me think that there could be a future for the game, at least for a while longer.

Hi, firstly I will say that I think releasing what is essentially Minecraft in Space as a standalone system that you can run your own servers on is the right thing to do. I think it's the only way that the game will actually survive, and have the potential to grow - through its community.

Anyway, with a very quick look through the backoffice interface and other details, I've got a couple of questions for anybody who's still reading this reddit:

1. What sort of mods are people thinking of doing?

2. Is there any way to get access to the object data and change things, such as the time a scanner takes to run, or the rating for a shield etc. - is there a way to actually add new items to the game?

Just curious if its possible to just rent a private server for me and a few friends, rather than faff around setting one up my self.

It seems like it should be, but no one seems to be offering the service yet, does anyone know any decent hosting services?

I have downloaded the server components. Ran 'start DU' batch file (on windows). I have docker installed and running. Docker says the containers are running and I can see logging coming up on the consoles (rabbitmq, mongo, etc).

When I log in, I use localhost as the server (no ports). I have tried user admin and password admin. A little bit of gap in the PDF in the Quickstart for Windows sectuib. It says ouble-click on Start DU icon on your desktop to launch the server, and connect to it with the MyDU client, putting localhost in the server URL field, and the credentials you gave to the installer, using “admin” as login. but I was not prompted for any credentials during the install.

So I ran the batch file admin-create-user.bat bob1 bob1 pwd123 and tried logging in with that account. (I did see this error during the batch run configuring log system from /config/dual.yaml console: Error)

I also ran maintenance-mode-off.sh.

All logins give me the error Server is in maintence(Error refusing player, stack is not ready)

What am I missing for setup?

The announcement said Aug 19th and I was just checking the website. I do not see myDu available yet. If it is can someone post a link? or if not, any ideas exactly when?

I have to say I am actually excited about this update.

With myDU coming out Monday, I wonder if any of the more prolific DU-Creators.org builders will publish schematics online for import into private servers. While I doubt I’d pay more than a few dollars IRL for them, I would definitely consider it for some of my favorite designers… TobiwanKenobi……..

We have details for the myDU release.

Noveans!

 
We are pleased to announce that the much anticipated myDU - where you can host your own Dual Universe server will be released on Monday, August 19th, 2024. (Please watch for news on the forum as well as Discord as to when it will be available to purchase and download.)
 
We know that there have been many questions and discussions about myDU, so we wanted to give everyone a bit of a head start and to help start preparing for it. Start your engines, unlock the myDU experience and get those voxels ready. 
 
Here is a list of the most popular questions that we’ve been seeing so far:
 
When will myDU be available?

Monday, August 19th, 2024.

 
How much will myDU cost?

A one time myDU purchase cost is required, which will then allow you to play subscription free. (The MMO server hosted by Novaquark requires a subscription to play.) Here is a list of the cost in various currencies:

EUR 29.99

GBP 24.99
CAD 42.99
AUD 44.99
USD 34.99
 
Can I exchange subscription time to purchase myDU?

Yes, if you have more than 3 months of subscription time in your account, you can convert those 3 months for a copy of myDU. 

 
Can I purchase myDU on Steam?

At this time the myDU client will only be available for purchase on the official  website, and it will require you to create an account.

 
What are the system requirements for myDU?

The myDU client requirements are the same as the MMO version of the client. A decent gaming rig will be enough to run the server locally for a handful of players at the same time. For bigger instances, our best estimate is that the server will hold between 10 and 25 connected players per core depending on what they do in-game.

 
How difficult will it be to host my own myDU for a small group of friends?

The myDU server stack can run on both Linux and Windows. An installer is provided for Windows that will give you a locally playable server with no technical knowledge required. Making that server accessible to others is fully documented but requires a bit of technical know-how. Owning a domain-name and using it to secure your stack using the provided scripts is highly recommended should you wish to make it accessible over the internet. Additionally, the server requires Docker to run, which you can obtain on Windows by installing the free Docker Desktop program.

 
I would like to continue playing on the official MMO Dual Universe server, is that an option?

Both myDU and the MMO server are different ways you can play. You can play on a myDU server, the MMO server or both!

 
If I run into any difficulty installing/running myDU, where can I get help?

Our community has a wealth of knowledge on the technology, we encourage everyone to ask on the official Discord or forum. 

 
Will I be able to export my core blueprints from the MMO server to myDU?

Yes. You can export core blueprints in your inventory from the MMO server right now at this address: https://meshexporter.dualuniverse.game/. Please note that some restrictions to protect creators apply. You will then be able to import those blueprints through the backoffice of your myDU server.

 
Will I be able to export my blueprints from myDU to the MMO server?

No, this will not be possible for a multitude of reasons, the primary reasons being that exports can be modified, elements can be made to overlap, and other aspects of the game can be tweaked which prohibits them from being introduced onto the MMO server. 

 
Will myDU allow mods or modding?

Some limited modding capability has been introduced on the server side, allowing the server owners to create their own plugins that run server side. Creation of these mods will require knowledge of C#, and not Lua.

 
Are all the planets available in myDU?

Yes, all current planets that are on the MMO server will be available. We will also be bundling the fixture files for the old pre-mining unit planets, for those who want the previous mining experience. However, implementing will require some work to be done on server setup, and some documentation will be included for this. Doing this however, is at your own risk.

 
Will there be meganodes? 

With the above mentioned old pre-mining unit planets, there should indeed be underground meganodes.

 
Will the PvP/Safe zones be adjustable? 

Yes, through the backoffice you will be able to adjust the zones.

 
What kind of dev tools will be available in myDU?

For server owners, you will have access to the backoffice, it has a lot of administrative features, it's what GMs use. It can manipulate inventories, trigger game features on/off, edit talent effects, item properties, teleport/delete stuff, import/export ships and blueprints.

 
Will all in-game items be available even those not available on the MMO server?  

Some items which are not available on the MMO server, will be available on myDU, most of these are old items, which are either deprecated or placeholders. While some of these will likely still function, there may be one or two that might cause issues when used in specific ways. We suggest taking care when using them, but did not want to deprive you all from having access to them.

 
We'll have more information for you on Monday! If you have any additional questions about myDU please let us know here or on Discord. 
 
These are exciting times Noveans, get ready for myDU!dualuniverse.game

I think we all knew there would be cost involved, but is it worth it? I'm very surprised how fast they've pushed this through... Thoughts everyone?

Anyone planning to host a large server with the old mining mechanics?

https://massivelyop.com/2024/07/29/dual-universe-unveils-a-standalone-version-that-lets-players-host-their-own-fully-customized-private-servers/

It would have made more sense to me to have a small single sharded server instead of an empty world on my computer. This game combined space engineers, satisfactory, and Eve and they took out Eve. I do understand this is the next best thing to closing down but I feel like downsizing and appealing to the remaining audience would have made more sense.

I don't even know why I'm posting this here because it's basically just grifters on this sub lol but I learn nothing and continue to do it. Haha

Anyways ..

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Well this is certainly one way to change things up a bit.

https://board.dualthegame.com/index.php?/topic/26641-great-news-for-you-noveans/

I am looking forward to this as it means I can get some friends onto a private non-PVP server for some casual building and PVE.

Thoughts?

I played for a few months when it first came out, but it’s dropped off the radar - so is the game dead?

In addition to building with voxels, PvP or the economy and industry options, you can also wonderfully shape the environment as a teraformer.

I've wanted to get into lua scripting for a long while, and when I saw the way the elevator worked in the alien-site space mission, I thought I could activate a small vertical booster via a programming station or the like. It doesn't seem to follow any rails, just a button connected to a booster.

But after fussing with all manner of remote controller, ECU, and programming boards I just can't figure out how to turn a thing on and have another thing move as well. The moment a core is moved or if another core's remote control is activated, the previous core's ECU session immediately closes. So it seems like only one core can ever be doing anything interesting at a time.

Basically, is possible to have, say, two elevators active at once? Or are all engines hard coded to only activate under direct, manual intervention from a user?

I know people love to complain, but I think DU did a few things that were very special and a breath of fresh air in the game market.

1. Seamless Universe - the ability to go from planet to planet through the atmosphere and then land on the ground is an amazing achievement. All in a single shared universe in multiplayer? Amazing.
2. Physics - The fact that you actually have to design and fly your ship in (mostly) full Newtonian physics is so cool. Sometimes my favorite thing was just designing a ship and then figuring out how to get it to space while carrying different loads.
3. Voxels - The voxel engine where anybody can make anything is so flexible. Probably one of the best building systems in any game.

What do you think?

Ok. This must be simple and I'm not seeing it. So if I were to try single ship Pve.

• Connect to the remote then jump in the seat but this big stupid gunner screen is blocking and I can't fly?

I think I need to know the hotkeys for reloading and targeting. And just not jump in the gunner seat?

​

Lots of video's out there...but I'm not sure if they explain the above. I'm using Wt-HUD FYi.

I've played Space Engineers (4khrs) and thousands into Satisfactory, Star citizen, and a bunch others and I can say that even with the small pop in in love with this game. I baked almost five years ago but I never really played because of bugs but I'll say now it's fun and I love it and what community is actually logged in is super helpful, I'm having a great time!
