Well, to be fair, it is useless. Right now. That's because it addresses a need we don't have yet:

When trade is necessary, we will need to be able to communicate long distance. That is why Jason has given us the radio now, in advance of the need. He is preparing us for what is ahead.

Q: "But trade isn't even necessary!"
Like I said, it's coming, so it will be necessary soon. Better to have the tool before the need it addresses. Nobody but Jason knows how trade will become necessary, but I like to think he has some kind of plan. I'm willing to bet that when you see what he does, you will say "that's why we need radio!"

Q: "How do we even know trade is going to be necessary?"
Because Jason said it himself, as you can see in the screenshot.

Q: "But trade doesn't even make sense unless there are lots of players but in different places on the same server!"
Precisely! That's why Jason spent the last update cycle on improving the server code, allowing him to put the entire player base on one server. This was always the intention for the game. The 15 extra servers only exist because the server code was not performing well enough to maintain the player base in one place.

Q: "Why give us something that we don't even need?"
Because it's better than giving us the need before the means to address it. Imagine if he implemented hunger before food. That wouldn't go down well at all.

Q: "But why not give us trade and radio at the same time?"
It took an entire update cycle to make the radio. Would you have preferred that he gave you nothing until it was all ready at once? That would make for a very dull stretch of no content update. Even now people are complaining about the lack of content in the latest server code update. You need to recognise that this game consists of code and content. For any meaningful amount of change, he can't do both at the same time. So he's given us some content, now he's optimised the server, hopefully we will get some more content soon.

Q: "But why not give us XYZ instead?"
Because of all the things that he is going to implement over the next year plus, he can only do one thing at a time. He has chosen to do things in this order, not any other. You're going to have to deal with that. You can't please all the people all the time. You can please some of the people some of the time. For this particular "some of the time", you are not "some of the people". There are still plenty of people who are happy with this update. I'm sure you will enjoy some of the updates in the future.

Q: "Well, I still think Jason is doing a bad job!"
And you're free to think that. You don't have to agree with what he does. You don't have to keep playing. Why not take a break and come back in a few months? It will practically be a different game by then.

bigserver1 is exhibiting symptoms consistent with running out of disk space.
server1 is also having some problems.

For now use the customer server settings and join a server other than bigserver1 or server1.

I hope you have a great day
