The Weekend is creeping up on us soon! Please submit all your update requests for this Sundays update schedule ASAP! Thanks to all those in the server growing this community!

Update Updates complete! mods installed and New server map! Our apologies for the delay, we wanted to make sure everything was as functional as possible for this update. URL: https://brighthaven.fragbox.host/ Please Connect with ONLY 1.20.6+ thanks!

Server Maintenance Starting in 30mins We wil lbe doing a full server update including all mods. We will also be adding a live map for everyone to use. Dear Extraordinary Survivalists v1.20.6, a stable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager. We suggest to urgently update all game servers to this latest version, as all game versions of the last 6 years are affected. It allows a player to create arbitrary blocks and items, including command blocks which can run arbitrary server commands under admin privileges. This release should both fix the creation of arbitrary items as well as the ability to use command blocks as a survival player. Only the servers need to update. The game clients can remain on 1.20.5. To clairfy: This vulnerability only affected server commands, not the underlying server console / shell. Game updates Tweak: Don't print audit logs to console, but to debug window only Fixed: Gameserver privilege escalation vulnerability on multiplayer servers Fixed: Large underground ruin having one of the creative blocks in it Fixed: Updated Harmony to 2.3.5 which should fix issue when using Harmony mods on linux systems using GLIBC 2.41 and newer

New updates coming Sunday. Server may be offline for about an hour for backups and testing!

Server is live! see OP!! WElcome to the community good things coming in phase 2

EXCITING UPDATE! Were almost done! sorry for the wait. We wanted to make sure that almost ALL of the mods weve chosen are error free and are maximally functional.. the team and I are pleaed to say that weve rewritten many of the mods to fix the incompatibilities, and update older non functioning mods. This will be the end of phase one of the server config and we are happily putting together phase two after the soft opening of the server. Thankfully the soft opening looks to be this weekend if all bugs get smashed.. And a few broken textures to address as well.. We will be posting the server address and pw in our discord first. please make sure to verify and if you cnnot join PM me right away!

ill fix that dont know why that was happening, the discord bot wasnt sending the verification message .. should be fixed i manually verified everyone! thanks for coming on board..

Good to go come join and make sure you verify!

Discord is up just trying to fix the verification bot. and associate the correct channels with te in game bot should be open in an hour or so.

UPDATE Terraforming almost complete. As you can see we have been ahrd at work with the community server spawn. We're almost done with building and will be moving onto fleshing out some new lore for the NPC and traders. Ill be working on the nighttime lighting next .. maybe placing strategic fireflies and oil lamps to give some mood to the night time streets.

UPDATE City is coming along nicely! Should be wrappin up with building soon! Discord will be available in 24 hours

The Inn is finally complete! took a little longer than anticipated. but we will finish the town in a short while stay tuned!

Port forwarding is still happening on all these 3rd party services its just less transparent. Typically many programs us UPNP for this. however manually port forwarding is not at all a difficult process.. You should use https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ to test if you have forwarded the port properly and your router/model is accepting incoming requests. Many routers may use a different term for port forwarding. Such as NAt forwarding. or port mapping or gaming applications or port triggering ( not the same but sometime in the same setting) Instead of blaming developers or a community for the difficulty of a standard process that is essential to theentire internet, it would be simpler to jsut say "hey can anyone help me with port forwarding on my (insert router name) and there would be plenty of people here willing to help you. Your OP doesent help your prospects on finding the help you actually need. Rather youll find the exact opposite response from what is essentially a great community.

Castle Build Castle is coming along nicely

UPDATE City is coming along nice... just getting some of the main buildings in place. then we will build some roads and fill in the smaller buildings without interiors.

There are too many configs and reboots going on for it to be playable just yet. You cant throw mods in and expect everything to work. things need to be balanced and gameplay must be tested first before we open to the public.. Give us some time to iron out some bugs frist.. last thing we want is to have a large player base and have to do multiple reboots while youre playing. Hope to see you there! If you would like to help out and start building the capictal city please reach out and we will add you to the team!

UPDATE Mods are in! im gonna spend the next day or so going through the configs and make sure theres nothing game breaking.. Then we can focus on building our little town with as many buildings as we can build in a short time, a few paths maybe. Mods installed.. as many as i could! no but seriously most of the decorative non game braking mods i could find. almost every fun sucking fix i could find and a few accessibility mods for those who arent as dextrous as the rest of us.

my ping is decent to the server im west coast usa and get a ping of 170ms thats perfectly fine for vintage story no name we have for it yet.. still putting it together .. its online already we ahve to start installing mods... SLOWLY lol las time I installed too many at once and it shit the bed lol

OK Community Server is up and running i was able to get some time away from adulting. Now to go over the mods list. As an open community what mods would you like to see the most? Im a fan of all the advanced foods and crafting mods. as well as better moulds easier knapping, and increasing the abundance of some materials. Im also a fan of having as many tree types and wood types as possible to add variety to the game. better beekeeping is a must as it give a much needed boost to an overlooked mechanic. what else>?

looks like we will ahve to start this puppy up lol Ill start the server this week its a bit busy with IRL work should be ready for dev by the weekend. Ill post up an update when its ready for devs to jump in and we can discuss next steps such as a discord etc hit me up on Discord anytime ill get back to you when i can #Pr0fesseur Im open to your opinions on the most public friendly plugins and addons.. just place your ideas here in order of priority. If you ahve a preferred task you would like ie builder/ admin/ developer please let me know here.. cheers look forward to seeing this community grow

My servers in EU its the best spot for most games

I own the dedicated hardware at a COLO.. thats precisely what i was going to suggest is have an actual city center .. rent out land so new players join thers not leveling struggle as theres an immediate market for them to explore and the ability to set up shp or join another "tribe"
