Major outage, The Phase update
2024-12-05T23:00:00Z
Unfortunately, we had a major internet outage this week from Tuesday morning until today. We are deeply sorry for this, especially right after the release of “THE PHASE”. This is just something that we cannot control.
I continued to finish up most of the minor issues and polish for THE PHASE during that time. Local access has its pros 
With the server now back online and in a stable state we have started work on 1.1
We will reveal more about that soon!
The Phase launch
2024-11-29T23:00:00Z
“THE PHASE”
We have finally opened the doors of this project to the public. The main server is now live at phase.comsicare.com accessible via Java 1.21.1-1.21.3 clients and Bedrock clients of the latest version.
We still have some work ahead of us, as we haven’t finished the full experience quite yet. However the core features are finally done and we are happy to launch the server which is mostly missing some QOL stuff.
If you are curios about what is going on on the server, feel free to visit the webmap powered by Bluemap.
We are monitoring the launch and if everything goes smoothly we will return to finishing our envisioned 1.0 state. We are expecting a couple patches in the coming days.
As always for detailed info look at the changelog section in the server sheet.
The stage-server has entered the next development phase and therefore is whitelisted again. We will let you know once the next patch is open for testing on the stage-server.
The Phases final phase
2024-11-21T14:44:00Z
“The Phase”
Our continued development on our “The Phase” project is entering the final stage. We have finalized the feature set and are mostly fixing bugs, oversights and balancing out the economy.
We are aiming for a release date by the end of next week, 2024-11-30T13:00:00Z.
Detailed change notes and our dev blog can be found here.
Expanding our service infrastructure
We are currently waiting on a new host system to arrive. In preparation for that we have revisited our “service bucket list”, a list of things we would like to host. We have started experimenting and testing with these services again to eventually deploy them once the new system arrives.
If you have any recommendations, feel free to discuss those with us in the discord.
“The Phase” stage server, More Cleanup
2024-11-13T16:13:00Z
We have continued to cleanup our servers behind the scenes. We have already freed up hundreds of gigabytes of disk space and a lot of RAM utilization which should result in healthier and more performant servers in the long run. We have also decided to make this cleanup a routine.
While doing so, we have once more found unreleased files of deprecated servers. They have also been added to new archive.
Once we have finalized our workflow for releasing server files we will publish a post in our knowledge base section.
Which brings me to my next point, the knowledge base section. Some of you might remember the old wiki, which unfortunately died because of corruption earlier this summer.
We have been working on retrieving as much content as possible from old backups and snapshots. While its unlikely that we retrieve everything, we still have many valuable wiki entries.
We have started to add these entries to their new home. For that we have created the knowledge base category. This will be the new home for our wiki like posts.
“The Phase”
We have just published our stage server!
You can find all changes and updates in the “The Phase” Server sheet.
You can find all relevant information about the stage server in its post.
We wanted to get this out there to get some people on board to test the stuff we have been working on. We mainly want feedback but I also know that you little rats will try everything to exploit the living hell out of these new features. So we might catch some bugs and exploits as well.
Nextcloud
We have prepared and scheduled an update for our Nextcloud instance. This will result in a short downtime.
The update has been scheduled for November 18, 2024 7:00 AM→November 18, 2024 1:00 PM
Satisfactory back online, “ThePhase” News, Cleanup
2024-11-11T15:09:00Z
We have started work on some structural changes on our internal infrastructure. This should not affect the users of the network directly.
As a result of these changes, we have started doing some housekeeping and organized and cleaned many of our instances. While doing so we found some “lost” saves of the following servers that we have started publishing today;
- 2021 Factorio Community Server
- Stoneblock 3
- The first Space Engineers War Event
As part of changing some internal processes, I have also overhauled the way we provide server files. From now on all published server files will be available in a global archive on our Nextcloud. You don’t need to register there to download the files. The archive can be found here.
As of writing this, I am still moving files from the old share to the new one. This will take some time.
Satisfactory
I am delighted to tell you that my war with our Satisfactory Instances has finally concluded and all Satisfactory Servers are back online and no data was lost.
“The Phase”
Development of our new project has finally entered the next stage! We have pretty much finalized our feature selection and we will now focus on setting up all the necessary systems.
You can find detailed blogs about our development progress in the respective subcategory which we finally opened to the public.
“The Phase”
In there you can also find more information about our test server that we just launched. It will be invite only for now. Mainly, we are trying to gather some feedback from you guys about certain features we are working on.
Seeing how progress is coming along, we have also adjusted our expected launch date forward.
MC Project updates, Satisfactory issues persist
2024-11-08T19:03:00Z
Satisfactory
Unfortunately, we have not been able to fix our issue on the original instances so far. We have resorted to just moving them to a new instance. Since that takes some time and we don’t have much time at the moment we are unsure when this will be completed.
As always we will keep you posted.
“The minecraft phase” project
We are pleased to announce that the project is coming along pretty well. So far we are still committing to December 1. as a release date.
We are currently working on polishing the experience. Therefore we have opened a invite only test server.
You can find more detailed information about the project itself, how to participate in the test server and goals over in its subcategory.
Factorio
We have released our first Space Age server!
Unfortunately due to the lack of good server management mods as of Factorio 2.0 we are keeping it invite only for the moment. You can learn more over in its subcategory.
Minecraft ATMToTheSky 9
- Fixed a connectivity issue caused by misconfiguration proxy
- Updated the server to version 1.1.2
- Fixed some utterly unbalanced Create configs
- Reduced minimum possible tick intervals for SFM in order to combat lag
- Fixed some weird configs causing server crashes
- Made most spark commands available for everyone to make performance more transparent
Satisfactory issue notice, game server updates
2024-11-01T18:00:00Z
Satisfactory
Unfortunately there are some issues with our Satisfactory servers. Since we released the servers the day that Satisfactory 1.0 came out, we had to do some wacky stuff to get the AMP template working. This seems to have caused some issues with the servers now as they are unable to update.
We are working on it and we will update you as soon as the issues has been resolved.
Our new project “The minecraft phase”
In our group there is this ancient tradition, that every winter we have our “minecraft phase”.
We want to make this into a proper project this time that is not just a phase! Therefore we have started preparations on a new 1.21.x survival server.
This project is still in a very early stage and therefore we cannot give you much information yet.
We will keep you updated! We are currently planning a release around 2024-11-30T23:00:00Z.
Minecraft Stoneblock 3
The Stoneblock 3 server has been discontinued.
Factorio
Preparation for the release of space age and our server have started. We will inform you once the server is ready.
Minecraft ATMToTheSky 9
- The server has been updated to Version 1.1.1
Minecraft ATM 9
- The server has been updated to Version 0.3.3a
- Some configs have been adjusted
Minecraft 1.21.1 Survival
This server has been discontinued and will close later this year with the launch of our new project.
Space Engineers Community Servers
We have discontinued our Space Engineers community servers as the brand new update has released and we want a fresh start. Due to many other projects being worked on at the moment progress on getting the new servers up and running is slow.
As always, we will keep you posted. The save files for the current servers will be released. For more info on that refer to the Space Engineers subsection.
