Season 2 and 3 require a lot more collaboration and working together than season 1 did. One of the things we use to help with that is a formation seating chart.
We learned from folks who have characters on earlier servers, season 2 requires keeping a very tight formation to stay heated up, and we all need to form up around the furnace in order to give us heat and protect the furnace during attacks.
This will help in Season 3 protecting the city, too.
The goal is to create "squads" of 9 players that will form their own square. Each squad will form up around a volunteer center block "Squad Leaders." Each squad should be balanced in power, and the squad leaders act as mentors for new players.
On Buster day each squad leader will teleport nearby in an area that has enough space to form up. They will send their coordinates to all of the players in their squad. Players will then teleport next to them!
We started alerting everyone to this change weeks ahead of season 2, and are doing a practice migration/form up a couple weeks before season 2.
Squads are set up around a single person in the center - the "squad leader" - and are pretty set. Once you have been assigned a squad, get into position quickly.
If someone is blocking you - do not just randomly place your base or you will be blocking someone else. Teleport nearby the hive and ask the person blocking you to move to their assigned place.
If you have any problems, reach out to your squad leader.
