Sadly I experience the same death and such last night but not the bug. It does not seem to be a 100% repeatable bug. If it happens again might be a good point to logoff and report it and wait for the devs to grab the data just so they can check it out themselves maybe debug it directly.

Ideas and suggestions / Character Name on Creation / Start.
August 19, 2018, 12:02:00 PM
I would like to offer the suggestion that when you start on a server you have a slight character start screen that you have now with what you can change but maybe also the ability to create a one time name.
Why? Well right now if I recall the Character is based on a Unique Name that you created with AtomicTorch. Now if you wanted to play a server and be more anon about it and not know your the great Bob Ross it be nice that your character name could reflect something else. The Master List (server) would still see you as Kane_Hart so if you did bad, etc admins can keep you banned, etc. But Characters will not know who you are and what your main user is.
Now I feel like this should be an optional feature via server settings. Meaning that you can force account name or have the option to make the character name.
Now if this entire thing not too hard this could give you an opportunity to create an actual character system as in character links to the user main account and when deleting and create a new character all the old properties, etc in the world would not work for that player anymore it would been locked to the ID that it had created. I'm a bit tired and blabbing on but I'm sure it makes sense to someone else out there

Ideas and suggestions / Character Wipe Ability / Option for players to start fresh.
August 19, 2018, 11:55:31 AM
Hello, I wanted to suggest a feature for a player to be able to wipe / start fresh with their characters.
Now sadly I have not had the opportunity yet to look at the back end so I'm not sure how their stored and this might cause some issues as I'm new to the game and don't know how everything works.
My suggestion is a simple nuke function somewhere in the game UI it can even for now be in say the Current Game Tab maybe a small button at the corner with Delete Character or Wipe Character. With a Extra Window the Pop's Up and Warns the User.
Now this might be challenging since I have no clue what the backend looks like and I have a sad feeling each account has a Unique ID but not random ID created when they join a server... If this the case then I recommend some sort of dump / backup of the current character data then removed from the database.
Because it's a Unique / none changing ID I would sadly leave structures and buildings alone as I would assume that would cause a lot of issues and I also assume it's backed in another file... But if it was not a HARD thing then what I would consider doing is giving it a NPC ID / Faction and let it because sort of an active ruin base, etc.
I really can't help much on the backend and idea's as I have no clue how it works once I get my hands on it in the next update or further down the road I can edit this and give better feedback.
WHY?
Well I'm not sure how long games can go on for but I'm sure you can easily run a no wipe server and the idea you build up and become big and play for months or weeks. Now if you screwed around a lot or want a fresh start it would be awesome. For example I wanted to learn the basics of the game then start fresh and start video's.
There is also maybe having a new name starting fresh maybe you were a jerk or had played with a bad group of people and there could be more for fresh start / name change (another thread).
