Game Chat
Land of Catastrophe
Game chat on the Land of Catastrophe server is connected to the IRC channel #exile hosted by IRCNOW. This is facilitated by the minetest IRC Mod. The mod is known by the nick EX in the #exile IRC channel. There is a bridge setup to Discord and Matrix networks.
Exile Development Servers
The Exile development servers all connect to the #exile-biomes channel hosted on the IRCNOW network. Each of the servers is known as EX# where # is the last digit of the port number used to connect to the server. This enables cross talk between the development servers as a side effect.
