   Most flexible Metaverse out there...

   Most of the 3D world experiences limit what a user can build and do. This is not so with Vircadia. The Apache license makes this 3D application the most flexible tool for building custom and interactive worlds. Vircadia is truly free, open and relatively easy to use. There are several developers who are working and improving this platform daily! Free content ensures that new users have access to materials for building their world without having to worry about learning difficult 3D applications. I highly recommend Vircadia and believe this will be the next big server technology on the world wide web.

   🏁 Competitors: VRChat, Facebook Spaces, Facebook Horizon, Second Life, vTime XR, Metaverse, Sansar, OpenSimSim

   👍 Pros:    Spacial audio|Apache license|Inworld creation tools|Multiple platforms|Vr ready|Free content

   👎 Cons:    In development

• Rimworld wiki down

  Hey is it just me or is the rimworld wiki down atm I was trying to check out the hydroponics stuff on it and all it does is tell me there is a rimworldwiki.com host error and I checked if the servers were down and it said they were for everyone. Was wondering if anyone knows when they will be back up? Source: 11 months ago

• I’m just starting out, any tips?

  Play on an easy difficulty for now, stock up food for winter, get power, experiment with basically everything (bedrooms, clothing, weapons, base layout) and decide what you think works best. Don't feel like you have to take on bad colonists, sometimes they're not worth the food. Pyromaniacs are almost universally hated around here. If you're really into the roleplay part, connect with your colonists - just follow... Source: 12 months ago

• What dlc should I get

  There is rimworldwiki.com for details. As just that ... Biotech certainly added most content and major drama with pregnancy and children but other DLCs are also not bad and may fit your taste better. Source: over 1 year ago

• Tips for a new player like me?

  The in-game tutorial will get you started. After that, check out the wiki: https://rimworldwiki.com/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Vircadia: 2023.2.X “Selene” Release

  Vircadia is an open source (Apache 2.0) metaverse ecosystem consisting of a high performance real-time server architecture (C++), web SDK (TS), and web client (TS). Source: 6 months ago

• FLAC 1.3.4

  Not pre-baked. I work on https://vircadia.com/ -- it has to give every user their own audio mix to account for their 3D position. This means codec costs add up fast. You can't just encode once and stream the same thing to a dozen people. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• FLAC 1.3.4

  Both, primarily the first. Low latency is definitely a requirement, but no issues with Opus on that account. > I haven't looked into how expensive it is to encode in terms of CPU time, so I assume maybe you're taking about a bottleneck in terms of the number of simultaneous streams you can support on a single CPU? Yup! I work on https://vircadia.com/ -- we have to compress audio in real time and every user gets... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• When the Stagnation Goes Virtual

  Second Life improved avatars by quite a lot in fairly recent times. There's also alternatives to it, eg, check out the project I work on: https://vircadia.com/ It's a sort of spiritual successor to Second Life, since it was started by the same guy -- Philip Rosedale -- after he left SL. It didn't quite work, so the commercial project died and got picked up by open source forks, which is what I work on. It's less... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• When the Stagnation Goes Virtual

  To me it's useful/entertaining in the ways forums and chats are, plus some additional features on top of that. Eg, you can talk to people, but in addition to that you have a collaborative 3D environment with positional audio where you can script, make games or do other stuff. Recently a group using our project put up a Christmas Carol VR play, and the results were most impressive. https://vircadia.com/ -- it's an... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
