Time to make a new server. I don't have the money to host one, so I am begging for it in this thread.
Let's get the Wurm fags to play an actually good game.

The big changes
>World generation has undergone a variety of changes and improvements. Many new parameters have been added to world generation, such as land/water balance, number of continents and islands, sizes of biomes, and number of water features such as rivers and lakes. All of these parameters may be tweaked within the world generator config file. As a result, worlds are much more varied with specific resources only being made available within specific biomes.
>I addition, we have reworked the world geology, by adding an assortment of rock types like Sandstone, Granite, Shale, and Limestone. Certain rock types appear only in specific biomes and at specific depths. These rocks all have different uses in recipes and can be made into unique looking mortared stones. Ores like Iron, Copper, and Gold are now located in specific host rocks which will encourage you to choose the place of your settlement wisely.
>Lakes have been added, and the river generator has been rewritten to have an improved look and feel to them.
>New plants
<Trees: Palms, Redwoods, Ceiba
<Grasslands: Big Bluestem, Switchgrass, Sunflower, Pumpkin
<Desert: Agave, Creosote (Updated Art)
<Forest: Ocean Spray, Trillium
<Taiga and Tundra: Lupine, Saxifrage. Peat Moss, Deer Lichen, Dwarf Willow, Arctic Willow
<Rainforest: Papaya, Taro, Orchid, Heliconia, Pineapple, Lattice Mushroom, Bolete Mushroom, Cookeina Mushroom, Filmy Fern, King Fern
>New animals (not gonna copy the pics, check the link)
5050c0 No.16161677
>New Skill system
<The skill system has been simplified and reworked to encourage active engagement. While specializations will still be based on the same time-gated model as before, you no longer need to choose between improving your current specialties and gaining new ones. Instead of having multiple skills under specialties that all need skillpoints to advance, we've rolled all those benefits into an action-based leveling system. For example, players who choose to take the hewing specialty will be able to hew logs with increasing efficiency and speed as they complete orders rather than being forced to wait on skillpoints to achieve maximum efficiency.
<The second major change is that the vast majority of recipes are now available without taking the related specialization at a drastically increased cost. This should allow players to experience parts of the game they would have previously been locked out of while still giving players an immediate and powerful benefit for choosing specializations.
<In addition to more generic benefits for a specialization, player will occasionally be able to choose specialization-specific talents upon leveling up. Talents for a given specialty are mutually exclusive: if you take one you lock yourself out of the other. Do you want to destroy the forest faster or do you want to be able to clean up the debris you leave behind easier? The goal is to encourage you to pick talents that benefit the way you want to play the game.
<Even with the new changes, don't neglect your diet or house! What used to be skillpoints/day has been changed to an experience multiplier that is applied in two places: the rate at which you gain new specialties and the rate at which those individual specialties level up.
>We have implemented banks to allow you to create additional bank accounts that you can share with other players. You can set who has access to the account and who is allowed to manage it, which will make playing together easier and also allows the world leader to grant other players access to the treasury. Everywhere where you need to pay with currency you can choose from which bank account you want to make the payment. Of course, you can also set into which bank account payments should go. And to make your life easier, we added the possibility to transfer money to different players and bank accounts just by clicking a button.
>Registrars enable you to create titles that you can grant to other players. Those titles can then be used in any authorization UIs and in the law system which allows you to easily group players or create titles for people that you want to work for the government.
>The AI of animals has been greatly improved and exposed for modding. Animals now eat, sleep, form packs and have species-specific behaviors. Beware though, as they became more intelligent and will now notice when your arrow hits just besides them. We have also implemented a headshot mechanic to make your life easier.
>In Update 8.0 several workbenches need to be supplied with water to function. In order to do so, you craft a pump and place it near a water source, connect it with pipes and deliver the water to the crafting table where it is converted into sewage. The sewage then needs to be taken care of – in the early game your only option is to release it into the environment, harming it. Later in the game you will get access to the water filter which allows you to clean the sewage and create compost blocks out of it which make a good ingredient for fertilizers.

I haven't played since the first couple servers so I'm not sure how much it's been polished and developed, but it'll probably be worth a buy when if it comes out of early access and doesn't have something like pic related added to it by then.
And yeah I remember it running like dogshit as well and becoming literally unplayable when you enter a town, forcing a restart. It's not unlikely for that kind of problem to remain in the game even after "release", which is why you shouldn't buy early access on principle.

I wish they changed the way you gained skill points so that the server doesn't get clogged up with unoptimized megalith towers filled with garbage. The food one works alright, maybe they could expand on that and remove the housing skill gains. Although I do admire the fact that building a house is something that people should care about, at the same time it just makes people fill it up with as much shit as possible without caring what it looks like.

Recipes aren't free, you just don't need to be specialized to get them. Also they cost a shit load now unless you are specialized.

It did right what wurm did wrong
It's basically an Ancap paradise, where everyone needs a whole fucking lot of things, but can only make a couple of them themselves, so it's all about the markets and whatnot.
The devs are so crazy about economy, that you can make your own fiat or backed currency, you can take and give loans and bonds and whatnot. The only ancap thing you can't do is be a 'sovereign citizen', since you are forced to abide by the server laws
The issue happens when only a person is doing a certain job, like lumberwork. Then the noose starts to grow and that person starts wanting all of our shekels for simple stuff. And that is what really make this game great, you actually feel like the game is not holding your hand and you either manage to negotiate, or specialize on that thing and start offering a decent price
On the new patch, the most someone can jew us is 5x, since everyone can craft almost everything, but takes 5x longer and cost 5x more resources. Some stuff like butchering still costs a spec point to unlock.
There is also the whole thing about pollution and the meteor that destroy the server in 30 days if you don't finish the death lazer by then, but that's just an extra

You can retaliate with laws and owning land since others can't build on your land without your permission. In 8ch servers if someone was seriously a dickbag that was only a detriment to the server, hostfag could deal with them.

>retards and fucking you over
They can't, private property is such a strong concept on this game, the only way to fuck someone over is by using it against them
You can claim 10 5x5 blocks, gaining 5 more claims when you read a new research scroll. I think the max is about 90~
So you could spend all your claims to surround someone's else claims, making them unable to expand. You need the hostfag to stop them if it's clearly malicious.
Of course, your claims don't even need to be adjacent, so you could just expand somewhere else, and although takes quite a long time, you can just move everything somewhere else if you really need to
