With the team deep in QA and bug testing we thought it would be a good idea to share some of what has gone on in the community over the past couple of weeks.
Discord
As previously announced, the Discord server (https://discord.gg/rokh) has selected channels reopened. Since the server was reopened we have also made some changes to the channel set up.
The channels currently available for use are:
- #game-and-help-chat - a place to discuss anything related to ROKH (combines the old #game-chat and #help channels into a single channel)
- #general-chat - a place for off-topic chat (within our community guidelines)
- #looking-for-players - schedule sessions with other colonists
- #bot-commands-only - a place to use the bot commands to prevent flooding other channels
- #screenshots-videos - share your screenshots and videos of ROKH (combines the old #screenshots and #youtube-clips channels, the latter of which was originally restricted to Content Creators)
Content Creators can also still use the following channels:
- #livestreams - advertise your upcoming livestreams
- #content-creators - keep in contact with other content creators
As mentioned above we have some bot commands which can be used within the server. Please try and restrict use of these to the #bot-commands-only channel. These are as follows:
- !rank - find out your rank and level based on Discord server activity
- !links - display links to game guides, patch notes and known issues
- !social - display links to social channels for ROKH
- !wiki - display a link to the ROKH wiki
- !rules - display the ROKH community guidelines
Community Creations
We have also seen some great screnshots still coming through on Steam and Discord.
Jamais203 submitted this shot of their base complete with full panoramic window on Discord.
Martin (Thilog) and rozon, also on Discord, have been hard at work on their base and have even got their first transmitter frame ready!
Belun spent some time making this impressive pyramid
Finally, after discovering that if you connect the pump 'backwards' compared to the input/output indicators rusty was able to successfully pressurise his habitat, but not before a couple of unfortunate 'incidents'
The last community creation I want to share is this video on YouTube by prozon where he breaks down the process he uses to reach cobalt tools in version 816:

And Finally...
Before I head off I wanted to share a couple of PSAs with you all.
Following some requests we have made version 819 (new crafting update) available again to users. This version is 'unsupported' meaning that there are no official servers and you are unable to rent a server for this build, however you can run a local game or a Linux dedicated server if you have the hardware to do so.
If you are interested in playing this version of the game please contact hello@rokhthegame.com and access will be arranged.
For running a local server I have put together a short guide using tips I have been given by members of the community which seem to work fairly reliable, big thanks to Rutger for his help and advice making it. The guide can be found here:http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1101402165
We are also still looking for players with any experience or interest in writing wikis, especially on the Gamepedia platform, to update and flesh out the wiki. If you are interested, please contact either myself or DoctorPelusa on the Discord server.
Hopefully this will be the first of many of these community spotlights. If you have any videos, screenshots or guides which you would like us to share please keep submitting them here on Steam, in the Discord server, by PM on Facebook or by email to hello@rokhthegame.com
Signing off for now,
