DSTbubba Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I've been trying to fully understand the difference between the game modes, particularly Survival and Endless, but the information seems to be either incomplete or out of date. Here are some contradictions/holes I've come across and am looking for comprehensive info: - Survival (apparently) does not regrow items, but I've re-picked berry bushes! - Dying in Endless causes you to lose your learned recipes? Anything else that fill-outs the info past this generic Wiki description would be awesome (the "forced to cooperate" statement is just weird and has nothing to do with the effects of the mode!): --- Endless mode is intended to be a more relaxed mode that doesn't force players to cooperate. It is similar to the Survival mode, except that the world never resets, and that Ghost players may additionally resurrect themselves at the spawn portal when they die, as many times as they wish. --- Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/136421-2021-updated-game-modes-faq-survival-endless-etc/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
maradyne Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 In Survival/Endless, when you die, you become a Ghost that can revive via revival structures/items. Endless has the Portal also serve as one of those structures. In Survival, if everyone is dead, the world will start a (pretty long) countdown timer, and if you don't revive in time, the world resets. Endless worlds will also respawn some natural resources that have been destroyed if they fall too low, like burned away Berry Bushes. Wilderness, if you die, you basically restart your player progress from scratch and pick a new character, but the world itself is preserved. That's the one where you lose recipes.

Awesome, the point about character re-start being unique to Wilderness is completely unmentioned elsewhere! Also, running a dedicated Docker server, we didn't see any kind of "countdown" when we both died, it was just, boom, re-set. What would be the point of a count-down if you are both dead? Lastly, there was talk that in Endless, ghosts didn't effect your sanity, is that correct? Thanks!

Does anyone know if it's possible to switch a server from/to Survival and Endless and not lose your progress? As far I can can see, it should work, but I thought I'd confirm...
