Getting started

• There is an ingame tutorial that will start when you first join the game
• Check out the New Player Guide
• Feel free to ask questions in the Alpha Discord/Forums

Community guidelines

• Please behave responsibly and act kindly one endo to another
• Keep any Kingdom/Empire/other banter to a civil degree, no flamewars or over-the-top roleplaying during Alpha! We are building the universe together at this point.
• Please remember that we may revoke your Steam key at any time for any reason
• Obvious reasons for revoking the Steam key are cheating or other unwanted behavior

Rules and legal

• Check out General rules for rules and other information

Important takeaways

• Having access to the Alpha does not give access to the actual game when it enters Early Access, so you will have to pay for the game eventually
• Some elements of your character may transit from Alpha to the final game (like blueprints). However nothing is decided yet.
• We may have to do a "server wipe" once or multiple times during the Alpha

Reporting bugs

• Use the in-game feedback tool (F1) to send bug reports
• Check out #alpha-new-players channel in Discord!
