BTW was the forest fire intended? The spider forest area was turned to nothing because of a blaze
Did I mean for a blaze to burn stuff down? No, but I was aware it could happen lol.

The blaze induced forest fire happened in my alpha test world too... That's the danger of going out to explore during the hot season, I suppose

I wrote about my adventures on the Alpha version of the OathBros/Caplex Build Team's map Space Expedition in my blog! (Discontinued)
For my experiences of the Beta versions of that same map, I started a YouTube series, which (due to prior knowledge from the Alpha) ended up being very fast paced and highly focused on showing off as much of the custom stuff as I can.
one final question: is it possible for us to get say looting/enchantments on our weapons or no?
yeah, everything is vanilla so anything that works in vanilla works here. All of the stuff I added is just extra alongside the normal vanilla mechanics and recipes. Only armor works differently because you need to keep wearing the biosuit.

I assume you mean the custom mob drops? Yes it does, however as the custom drops are considered "carried gear" looting is less powerful. It will increase your chance of getting the drops by 1% per level. This is significant for rare drops but not so much for common drops that are already 50% or higher. I hope this helps.
In other news, we have our first update!
When I learned that Akitori and some players were still running a version that had a few bugs I decided to give out an early update to fix the issues for those of you that are actively playing and want to install it early.
Welcome to Beta 1.0.2! This update contains 3 bugfixes that were reported and also contains my latest optimizations to the command center which should reduce lag on low-end computers. I hope you guys enjoy! This update contains no new features or areas. Those will come in the official update next weekend.
This download zipped folder on google drive contains a region file that will install the update into your in-progress games. Link Removed- improved lag, bugfixes
You can watch this video for an example of someone updating their save:
To update your world simply:
1. Open Your “Space Expedition” save folder
2. Open the “region” folder within your “Space Expedition” folder
3. Copy the region files in this folder into the region folder, click “replace” to overwrite any old versions.
That’s it! Your update is now complete. Simply log back into your game and you will be running the New Space Expedition update version! If it succeeded the game will print you a changelog and a message with a sound letting you know everything installed successfully.
Special Note: If you see a few repeated comments for items you are holding don’t worry, nothing is wrong. It takes the new system a half-second or so to copy your old one-time message settings back in so comments might be repeated right before this happens, but this doesn’t mean they are reset and after the update all your old comments and recipes will remain saved.

It does, to a degree. Currently, the custom loot tables aren't really loot tables but rather items the custom mobs have equipped. So if you kill, say, a fish, you'll only ever get one fish from it, never more than that, regardless of your Looting level. The same goes for every drop that is an equipped item of the mob dropping it. Most drops do have a drop chance lower than 100% though, and Looting will help increase the chance of those items dropping
EDIT: Damn you, Dan! I refreshed, pasted the reply, and then suddenly you still were faster

No all that should work fine. Your old friend can leave/resume anytime. The new friend will get a fresh game-start and the option to go through the walking tour at the beginning by himself. Keep in mind that things like player upgrades (from living in the world) only get awarded as the seasons change so the new player will start with 0 ability upgrades and your old friend might fall behind you if he isn't there for a few seasons. So they might run/swim a little slower or have less health or attack speed. Things like that.
btw, did you update your map from the update this Sunday? jw

Also i just remembered this bug: I found fish scales first instead of leather, and it only gave me 2 points of armor...and i couldn't craft the leather any more xD
I managed to fix it because of my slight knowledge of scoreboard objectives (literally added 1 to the armor thing and it worked the next time i killed myself or updated my armor)
You can use fish scales more than twice if you skip some of the leather upgrades. In fact, you can just upgrade your armor 4 times in a row with just fish scales without ever having found a single piece of leather Nothing in the game counts how often you have crafted a certain upgrade, item or module; the only relevant limits are your current armor points.

Yep, what Lezandria said. The way it actually works (and this is explained in the recipe book for the armor upgrades better) is each armor increasing item only can increase you to a certain level. They do not need to be used in any particular order but, since leather is the lowest-tier upgrade item, if you have already gotten 2 armor points from another source (like fish scales) you can't use leather anymore. I did it this way to add some flexibility to the way players upgraded so this is "working as intended" for now.
In other news, the first official update (the other one was unplanned ) is coming this saturday as promised! The current plan for the update is this list of small additions to the game, feel free to comment on the choices:
Fix a few small misspells and things I noticed from videos/comments so far
Adding a challenge list book to the map
New areas will be added: a mesa asteroid and part of a stone asteroid chain we've been working on. They will contain new ruins/custom areas
Checking the time of day will now say "morning","afternoon","evening","night",and "sunrise" along with the ticks
A few creatures will get new abilities added: squid ink and bumblebee poison are currently planned
Dragon eggs and turtle shells will have a new recipe in the recycler and can be recycled
Item retriever will be added
Fire extiguisher will be added
Chainsaw may be added (depending on time)
Sand storms will trigger the spawning of unique mobs making them more valuable

haha, of course it was intended. You saw the biosuit comment didn't you?
Like most creatures currently in the map they are added to the random spawning during the seasons. They can spawn rarely anywhere in the Fall and last into other months (though they will only spawn in fall). They have some unique end drops that hopefully you were lucky enough to get from them!

Wanted to ask this cause i just remembered.
Say me and my friends are playing this map. Then my friend leaves for like a day or two irl and i still play.
Would my friend suffer any consequences upon returning?
Secondary Question: Lets say i want to invite a new friend to the map.
Would it glitch out or what?
No all that should work fine. Your old friend can leave/resume anytime. The new friend will get a fresh game-start and the option to go through the walking tour at the beginning by himself.

I wanted to ask, where do shulkers spawn? I found like 3 near a oasis, but i wonder if that was intended.
haha, of course it was intended. You saw the biosuit comment didn't you?

SO the new update was added to my realms.
Outside of seeing snails i don't see much change but a lot less lag, thank ya.
Also noticed that health appears under names now. I think you meant hp? IDk
Funny story: I invited two of my friends over to this map.
One of them proceeds to walk away and i don't even know where on earth he goes till i follow his path.
We found the freaking witch of doom after my friend logged off, and i managed to kill it and its shulker box thing in the ceiling.
Episode 3 of my series is out!

Founds the source, it has something to do with the bed, not sure why...
