    After having lay dormant for years, the Windoom universe is back and ready for fresh blood!



    Think you are tough enough for us? Think you can take on our dreaded pirate boss?

    If so, then accept the following challenge: Enter the world of Windoom, build massive ships, form alliances and conquer new lands.



    Create Mega-Structures that reach far into space, and huge bases that bring forth awe and inspiration. Engage with new enemies and make your mark among the largest and oldest factions in the universe. Compete in PvP and reign supreme, rise from the ashes of previous defeats and strike back with twice the fury.

    The windoom universe is ideal for both builders and PvPers. We have a powerful server thats run 24/7, allowing for fights between titans to go as smoothly as your computer allows. We also support the builders with some custom blocks such as ice crystal and lava wedges and corners, as well as the fact there is no limit on ship sizes, unlike on some servers!

    Players have taken full advantage of this, with some people building ships as long as 2km! If you want a piece of this action here on windoom, then just enter the ip windoom.com:4242!

    Our dedicated community hub: http://starmade.windoom.com

    Some epic ships and bases on the server: (click here)

    =======================================================================[:]

    We offer you the following:

    - A powerful 32-slot 24/7 non-whitelisted server with authentication

    - A speed limit of 100 b/s and starting money count of 300,000

    -? A lot of freedom, our rules are not strict, simply don't be an asshat towards everybody

    -? Two blueprint slots per player, to allow you to pvp in the knowledge it is not make or break

    - AI enemies and stations, with more challenging AI-ships added over time, made by the community

    - A custom economy and block config that has been implemented, and will be tweaked based on user input

    - Regular events to keep things fresh and fun

    - A server perfectly fit to handle the biggest of battles without restricting enjoyment.

    - An awesome player-base where you are more than welcome to fight along side the giants of the windoom universe, or clash head on with them if you would prefer that ;)



    ?=======================================================================[:]

    Our simple rules:

    - Please be kind to your fellow players, no need for excessive cursing or immature behavior.

    - Respect the staff members, they are there to help you, not to ruin your game.

    - Do not build profane structures/ships/buildings/skins (we don't want dick-ships).

    - Stealing, salvaging and destruction is allowed anywhere and under any condition, even at spawn, though the spawn point and surrounding sectors will be protected. Please remain in your ship while building, or fly away from spawn and then build!



    =======================================================================[:]

    Like the sound of it?

    Then join us, conquer planets, build epic ships, construct massive space stations, have legendary wars between factions, and let all of us have a great time playing Starmade!



    CONNECT USING: windoom.com:4242

    (32 slots, no whitelist, authenticated, 24/7)

    Server down? Post here on this thread, or at the main server status thread!!



    =======================================================================[:]

    Other notes:

    - Yes flying into the sun is dangerous, it will eat your ship, I can tell :D

    - No, jumping out of your ship without braking is not recommended.

    - No, once again we don't approve the infamous penis-ship, it's not part of the whole "freedom" deal, so don't do it or you will be classified as "asshat" and be enforced accordingly ;)

    - The above also applies to skins.

    - Please speak English in global chat. This is not because we hate other languages, it is so everybody can understand eachother. There is /pm and /f for other languages, but global chat is meant for English only.

    Explanation for the new thread is so that all members of the Windoom staff can access it and edit whenever necessary, so no worries about that (another staff member is working on it now).

    Just mentioning this to prevent fuss.

    Windoom basically received a wipe and had a lot of features added/changed in the meantime, including the allowance of blueprints with block costs, and a fully custom fixed recipe system that works with bronze silver and gold for later tiers. A few extra blocks such as crystal wedges got added as well, giving windoom that unique edge!

    So now is a good time to play, don\'t miss it, it\'s the players that make the community after all. For additional news and changes, visit www.starmade.windoom.com

    Server was running fine as far as I was aware. I was on it from 11 am to 9pm and had no problems. Try again now and see if its working fine now :)

    To people who were wondering: back online now :)

    Seems that starmade servers still lock up from time to time, even after all the bugfixes.

    Some unfortunate crash issues going on, but I also took the time to learn about bash scripts and cronjobs and wrote various scripts for the server:

    -A script that will announce a specific message at specific intervals

    -A script that will detect a server freeze and shut it down so it can be restarted again

    -A script that will auto-schedule restarts every 6 hours, count-down starts 1 hour before the shutdown, seems sufficient.

    These should help a lot with making the server a better place to play on. We also have very frequent saves so it is unlikely that you will lose progress in case of a crash.

    After some feedback we decided to increase starting money to 300k, it was 25k at first.

    This should make it a little bit easier to start out, without disturbing goals like \"making enough money to buy a station\".

    From now on, authentication (via star-made.org, still free) is required to join Windoom Starmade.

    We do this so that players will be better secured from possible abuse, and so that we can easily ban accounts that do nothing else but harm, which will probably become more significant in the future.

    Thanks for playing on Windoom Starmade!

    Good day, gentlemen/women.

    How do I go about joining this server? I have tired of building things by myself in singleplayers.

    I have registered at the Windoom page you linked to, but I have found no application thread neither here or there. Can somebody please advise me?

    Regards,

    There is no application, you can simply just join :)

    To join a server, on the screen where you enter your username, you must uplink your starmade.org login, and then go down a bit, select multiplayer and enter windoom.com:4242 and then hit OK :)

    I look forward to seeing you around

    The exactly a fun server, for the sole reason of having a faction full of pricks hunting you down mindlessly for merely existing.

    Please elaborate?

    Also remember that players can use up to two nicknames per account, so if you have lots of trouble on one \"identity\", you could always use another one to go sorta \"undercover\", to avoid all the issues.

    Good server, has been having some troubles but has seemed to sort all the problems through. Runs an average as low as 1 in our troubles (long gone) and 15 yesterday, with 28 max. With a shutdown the server is back up in 15 seconds so we have maximum possible uptime. Sitting at rank 9 this is a wonderful server to play on.
