We last left off in part 1 talking about how chatty multiplayer dedicated servers can be, and how we’ve got this “hive” system that powers and scales out the realms without being so chatty. But we never got to the no-sleep part, did we?

When you log into Parchment, if you didn’t already have one, a worker bee spawns just for you. This “actor,” we will call it from here on out, persists after you sign out and helps answer questions about your civilization/empire/base when you’re not around.
