SERVER NEWS

The Galaxy Atlas is a live map of the VoidRift galaxy. Find it under Atlas in the top menu, or at voidrift.space/atlas. It is still a work in progress, so expect rough edges and changes while we build it out. What the map shows: - Faction territory, with each faction's core area drawn more solid than its outer area. - Gate links between sectors, and where each gate leads. - Station sectors, with hints about what is there (shipyards, repair docks, equipment docks, and more) when you zoom in. - The material zones, from iron at the rim in to Avorion at the center, plus the barrier ring. - Click any sector for details. You can also search for a faction by name or jump straight to a coordinate, and the layers panel lets you turn parts of the map on and off. Players and the leaderboard: - The leaderboard can be sorted by credits, any of the seven materials, number of ships, or highest ship omicron. - Pick a player to see their credits, materials, start sector, ships, and stations, and jump to them on the map. Highest ship omicron fills in as players fly their ships. - Player start sectors, ships, and stations show on the map in each player's own color. This data updates about once a minute. - Everything on the leaderboard is public, so anyone with the link can see it. The server is PvE, so we are showing it openly. Full galaxy or revealed only: a switch at the top of the side panel changes the map between the full galaxy and only the sectors players have actually discovered. Newly discovered sectors can take 7 to 10 minutes to appear in that view. The map is built for the current galaxy, so after a wipe it will be rebuilt.

We have officially wiped the server and started over with a new galaxy. The server password has been removed, so open testing starts now. Open Multiplayer in Avorion, find "[US] VoidRift" in the server browser, and join. No password is needed. Everything from earlier test galaxies is gone, including ships, stations, and resources. The server is still in testing, so expect bugs and more wipes along the way. If you find something broken, tell us by emailing coderift@voidrift.space. VoidRift is a new server and still a work in progress. Frequent wipes may be needed to resolve issues as they come up.

The public test server has moved to a brand new galaxy built around the Cosmic Series. The Cosmic mods add wars between NPC factions, famines and subspace storms, a news board, new weapons and ship systems, and an endgame crisis that begins after the Wormhole Guardian is defeated. The mod list on the Mods page has the details. It now has 85 Workshop mods. What this means for you: this is a fresh galaxy, so ships, stations and progress from the first test galaxy do not carry over. The first connection downloads the new mods, so give it a few minutes and do not quit while it works. If the server list shows an old entry after a restart, refresh the list and try again. One mod was removed to make room: Galaxy Map QoL does not work with the Cosmic Series. This is still a test. Some of these mods have never been played together before, so expect rough edges, and tell us what you find by emailing coderift@voidrift.space. VoidRift is a new server and still a work in progress. Frequent wipes may be needed to resolve issues as they come up.

By joining, you understand that VoidRift is a work in progress and that you will be helping us test it. Expect bugs, restarts, and wipes. We really appreciate your help. How to join: open Multiplayer in Avorion, find "[US] VoidRift" in the server browser. No password is needed. The first connection downloads the server's mods and can take a few minutes. What we are looking for: anything that feels broken, unbalanced, or confusing. Tell us what you find by emailing coderift@voidrift.space. Early reports are the most useful, and they are how we will decide what to change before a stable launch. VoidRift is a new server and still a work in progress. Frequent wipes may be needed to resolve issues as they come up. Once the server is stable, wipes are expected every 3 to 6 months.

VoidRift is a new server and still a work in progress. Frequent wipes may be needed to resolve issues as they come up. Once the server is stable, wipes are expected every 3 to 6 months. What this means for you: the server runs a large pack of Workshop mods, and some of them have never been played together before. We will be tuning settings, fixing conflicts, and testing things like PvP in the core while players are on. Some of those fixes can only be applied cleanly on a fresh galaxy, which is why early wipes are likely. Every wipe is announced here first. Thank you for helping us test.

Restarts: the server restarts every day at 4:00 AM and 4:00 PM ET. The 4:00 AM restart also reboots the host machine, so it can take up to 10 minutes. Chat warnings go out 30, 15, 5 and 1 minute before each restart, and everything is saved first. Wipes: there is no fixed season length. A wipe resets all ships, stations, and resources, and it can happen at any time. The current target is Jan 1, 2027, but that is a plan and not a promise.

Whenever a wipe is scheduled it is announced here first.

VoidRift is a community Avorion server built around exploration, ship-building, and combat. It runs 85 Steam Workshop mods: new campaigns and missions, tougher bosses, extra weapons and ship systems, and overhauls of the galaxy, stations, and visuals. The server is in public testing while the settings are tuned. A few of the current settings: 20 player slots, Expert difficulty, 50% collision damage, a limit of 10 stations per sector, and every player starting in a different sector. VoidRift is a PvE server: player-versus-player damage is turned off everywhere. The full rules are on the Rules page, and the date of the stable launch will be posted here.
