Companies are being filtered by "last activity" by default and I assume any activity (a post in your company's forums, etc) will bump it unless readers changed their filtering option.

I believe it was built by players.

Winner will be chosen by best-effort, you don't need to be an artist to win!

You realize HOW MUCH effort I putted into mine, right? That piece will be worth millions if not billions in a decade from now, I guarantee you! And that will become the most lucrative 2½ minutes of my life; mark my words.

Sorry @MrBeTrayed, you have no chance against mine.

what is the command to make yourself admin?

 

Most likely the same as ARK:

I've collected that this game was actually a piece of ARK DownLoadable Content (DLC) that has been ported into its own independant game.

@Teach made a very interesting post about this:

I am patient, i just do not understand why we cannot have the app_ID openned for everyones instead of just 2 renters when we know the officials are not hosted in NA even if the name say it. We get very bad pings from NA on the officials.

Yeah, based on their address, the NA servers appears to be hosted in Germany at the moment. This is most likely temporarily, and they will hopefully be moved at some point.

Why is there a "hidden" Ark menu and Single Player? Well, Vanilla Ark had those features, so would the framework if they were directly porting ARK's valuable code to a new engine, rather than start from scratch. Why abandon years of work to start from scratch again?

Like someone once said; there is no need to reinvent the wheel. This also means they have more time and resource to invest into fixing the game, polishing content, exploring and expanding new game mechanisms, etc. rather than building the framework itself which is highly beneficial for us, the players.

Very well constructed post, thank you for Teach'ing us.

This is on their to-do list: https://www.playatlas.com/index.php?/announcement/6-early-access-launch/

I'm sure they are working very hard behind the scenes, we just have to be patient.

P.S. I'm not one of the people negatively reviewing the game. I have no doubts that the game is good. I want to play it. I'm not gonna negatively review it. But I want to be able to play within at least 2 hours, so I know what the game is like.. so if I want to refund it (doubt I will want to refund it but w/e), I at least can.

You could always contact Steam support, and they might refund you regardless if that is what you decide in the end. The 2 hours is basically just the timeframe in which the refund process is automated and doesn't need to be reviewed by an human but they often make exceptions.

Thats a useful article. Need to keep that saved!

People need to realise that the testing (Early Access) starts from the moment they click Play, not from when they get in game. This is all part of the early access stuff.

Yes, pretty much. I find it sad that people are bombarding the reviews on Steam based on issues that they literally acknowledged by purchasing a game tagged as Early Access. The scope and concept of the game has a lot of potential, and I'm excited to see where it goes!

Yep. And in the Early Access rules say, that you have to follow your schedule. Which Atlas didn't do because they delayed 3 times. Either way. I'm here to rant, not to make an useful post. Your good advice is highly appreciated but my salty brains aren't willing to listen to it. 

Gotta respect the honesty there.

Well, this is an Early Access launch. If you expected everything to run smooth instantly, then that must be your first one. If you cannot handle the current issues, or understand that the game is basically in very early alpha phase, then you should probably uninstall it and come back when it is officially released. Here, I invite you to review what an Early Access title is: https://store.steampowered.com/earlyaccessfaq/

You should be fine to run High based on the settings menu:

Amount of FPS you will get is hard to tell. Especially first day of an Early Access game.

Are there any possibility to hear Atlas' Soundtrack on the internet.

I've just installed it and the music was epic!

The following track was released few days ago:

For the entire soundtrack, this is the guy you want to follow:

I've noticed that when creating a new account on the website everyone is being given a "Role" known as First Mate. Is there a system where you get promoted with the ATLAS's website pirate Ranks? 

I believe this is an issue that will be fixed soon enough. If you read the Articles of Agreement, the "First Mates" are supposed to be the Moderators and Community Recruits of the community forums; not regular users.
