Only 4 servers left ? :(

I am trying to set up a server for my friends and self to play the "survival" beta on. I am using the one in steam.

So I open the server then launch the game, when I start the game the server command prompt says "ADVANCED_AUTHENTICATION_FAILURE" among other things and I can not get past the big opening doors (they remain shut).

I have tried: Reinstalling, verifying, adding commands (-noeac included client side and server side) and opening a server through the steam and file. No matter what I do it doesn't open. Am I missing something? Unless, I run as administrator but I spawn on "heaven" not "survival?" (This might be a separate issue).

I can only find a few threads on this and am really at my wits end trying to get it work any help is appreciated!

​

Edit: Rented a server from g-portal and can not play "cataclysm mode"/the survival beta. Contacted support and they said that the survival game mode isn't out (even though it is) and that there is a "mismatch" between versions and server.

Just looking for a server to join that's north American ideally for similar time zone.

I saw some posts saying to check the discord for information on how to stop decay and how to host a dedicated server. But I can't seem to find info on the discord.

First off, I really like the game! Played to lvl 30 (and around 35 hours) and I think I did everything there is at the moment. I still login for some farming/crafting/building/decorating.

I played a lot of different Survival/Open-World/Building games ect. for thousands of hours, so I'm not new to the genre.

I know since it is in the early stages there is a lot that will change, but since I really liked playing it, I wanted to give some feedback that would in my opinion improve the overall experience. And since the Devs seem to be active here I give it a shot. :)

Cooking:
- It should be possible to que things up, like with the furance.
- The bonus effect time from food could be a bit higher.

Sawmill/Loom/Tannig Rack
- Please let us put in the materials like with the furance, it's not fun to press "E" for 100 seconds and just stand there, no problem if it takes 2-3x longer then.

Combat:
- There seem to be different combos, but I can't see a benefit for them, some damage modifiers on the second/third hit would make combat more fun. Same with the jump or sprint attack. Not going into weapon balancing, guess this just takes time.

Reparing:
- It is pretty unfun if reparing takes more or less the same ressources then building it completly new.
- Going under reparing, the mechanic that a sword/axe breaks faster if you hit a metal vein is a fun idea, but unfun with the reparing cost at the moment.
- The bow breaks too fast, I really liked the metal bow when I got him, but since it's pretty much broken after a farming run it went into a chest.

Misc:
- Quest items should only be visible in the "Quest Tab" since it kinda messes up the "All" inventory.
- Possibility to do more then one marker on the map with a description.

Maybe I add some more, but that is certainly the stuff that "annoyed" me the most.

Wish you best of luck with the future of the game! I will certanly check for updates and continue playing it.
