Dear Factorio team,

first at all, i want to tell you all how i like this game. Space age is a nice thing and it makes a lot of fun.

But now, i have to ask you something,
i have made a multiplayer map with my friends as a PvP scenario. We don't play against each other, but we play on the same map, in freedom, and everyone has his own start area, base and tech.
But as soon as we are going to another planet, all teams are starting on the same position. Thats a pity because on nauvis, everyone has his own starting area as well.
On vulcanus is no starting point at all. When you are going down to the planet surface, the complete area is occupied by the worms.
Is there a way that you could change the PvP mode? That every team has its own starting point on every planet? That would be great.

Thanks so far,

Tombombalin

Thanks for the report. In the next release (2.0.21), each team should have their own safe starting area (no turrets and not walled in). Can you confirm if this fixed your issue?

thank you very much for wanting to change that.
Yes, we always played without walls and towers.
When the patch is out I will definitely try it out and give feedback

It worked. I downloaded patch 2.20.21 as an experiment. Each team has its own spawn area on a new planet. Unfortunately, you have to restart the save game and cannot use a save game from the previous patch. Thanks anyway. It worked.
