Unfortunately, we are currently experiencing severe problems with the web site. This is due to a large increase in traffic over the last few days, which is beyond the capacity of our current web hosting solution. We are in the process of migrating to new servers, which will hopefully remedy this situation. This will hopefully be finished before the end of this week. We are sorry for any inconvenience and humbly ask for your patience for a few more days.

No. They are stationary, but will attack if you get close to them.

MasterTechnologies @ Masterspace Update 2.1

There is a bug in v2.1 which breaks the production of electronic components. I have uploaded v2.1a to fix this bug.

If you downloaded the setup file before this time, you should either redownload the setup file or apply the fix yourself as described here: Master-space.com.

There is currently no Linux version of Masterspace, although one may be released in the future depending on the success of the game.

This is probably caused by a corrupt spaceship blueprint in the database, which may cause the game to crash. Please try to move/remove any custom blueprints from the "Masterspace\Database\Spaceships" folder.

Also, please make sure that you are running the latest version of the game (v2.0).

Most probably your video card is not compatible with the game. Please note that integrated graphic adapters such as Intel HD Graphics are not officially supported.

The approximate system requirements are presented at Master-space.com

Thank you for your feedback.

You should be able to run the game on a GT520M, but it may be too slow to run the game at a decent speed.

The approximate system requirements are presented at Master-space.com where it is stated that Intel HD Graphics is not supported. It is unfortunate that you missed this info and I will think about how I could expose this issue more clearly.

The free version of Masterspace demonstrates most of the features in the game. However, spaceship and building construction is limited and multiplayer is disabled.

The full version of Masterspace may be purchased for $10 here: Master-space.com.

Masterspace is using OGRE to render voxel volumes provided by Polyvox (http://www.volumesoffun.com/polyvox-about/).

This seems very strange. On my system with a Q6600 processor it takes no more than a few minutes to generate the standard universe. The loading bar is supposed to restart for each step in the world generation and there are 4 planets in total in the standard world. The first step takes ~34 seconds on my system.

There are some basic combat in the game already and you may damage most things by using any of the tools in the game. You may also produce a laser gun for ranged combat or construct defensive turrets (which may also be mounted on spaceships).

There is a range of different hostile mobs in the game that will attack you on sight, but most of them inhabit planets other than the starting planet.

I would be happy to accept any submission of mobs to be included in the game, provided that they are of a reasonably high quality.

However, I do not know what I can offer in terms of a mob development toolkit as the majority of the work is done in a conventional 3D modeling application. If you are interested in trying out some modeling, I would recommend Blender, which is free and have a compatible exporter to the Ogre mesh format (which is used in Masterspace).

CurrentPlayer:GetInventory(): AddLocalItems("Inventory_WoodBoards",1000)

Unfortunately a lot of people are having problems downloading the game and get the following error message:

This seems to be a problem with server capacity and we are working to provide more download mirrors. If you experience this error, please try to download again at a later time. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

The water is dynamic. However, the flow speed is relatively low due to high system requirements. I will post a video of the water simulation soon.
