PSA: Hacking and cheating is not ok...

Here I was working on herbivore food and some other neat things to improve the quality of the game and add more content and getting reports from testers that people are cheating and using speed hacking.

Not only does this cause server stability problems but it also ruins the gameplay experience for everyone on the server and waste development time. So I am stopping everything I'm working right now to finish VAC intergration, and setup steam publisher bans, so these cheaters get banned from all multiplayer servers. (including their own that they host) It will be easier next time for anyone else being added to the ban list. (Edit from Dondi: Apparently people think "I am a chill dude" and am "okay with it if it's a one time thing" or "the server was empty." Understand this, all hackers will be purged by DeathlyRage, regardless of the reason why, the length, or if you were just trying to get to your friends and hang out because they're terminally ill and dying but playing the Isle was their dream. Hack and you're out. No warning, no excuses. The account will be purged. Your body will be burned. We will salt the lands and end your lineage. There will be a celebration. Possibly cake... not sure on that one yet. No, there will definitely be cake after hack bans.)
