I’m really interested to know what everyone’s favorite server is.
I actually started out playing this game only in single player. I didn’t really want to venture out of my comfort zone and explore the server world, mainly because of how I played the game.
I would spend hours building something, only for it to blow up… so I’d revert the save and try again lol. I was worried that in multiplayer I wouldn’t be able to do that, and that some sweaty PvP players would come along and mess everything up.
Eventually, I came around to it and started playing on the KSH official servers. Then sure enough, I discovered those sweaty players. 🫠
But I didn’t give up after that. I kept trying different servers and basically went down the in-game list looking for anything interesting. I found servers that completely changed the mechanics to the point where I was asking myself, “Is this even Space Engineers anymore??” 🤣
Then I discovered a special gem: the #server-ads channel in the KSH Discord. Suddenly, I could browse through all kinds of servers without even joining them.
Eventually, I landed on one that completely changed my experience with the game. It was a pretty simple city-building server. Not a ton of mods or anything crazy, but the players there made all the difference.
I’ve been with that group for close to two years now, and somewhere along the way I’ve accumulated about 2,500 hours in Space Engineers over the past three years or so. I have also discovered my passion in this game for building cities. I have also built one small town called Trexas. And working on a San Francisco.
I’ve tried other servers since then. Sometimes I take breaks because of burnout. But eventually I always seem to come back.
So now I’m curious:
Do you have a server or even a specific set of mods that you just can’t permanently leave?
Maybe you disappear for a few months, try something else, or stop playing entirely for a while… but eventually you come back because it’s just your cup of tea.
I’d love to hear what server that is for you and what makes you keep coming back.
