Inactive Hosts

9 votes

There are way too many inactive/afk hosts in public lobbies and the kick timer isn't long enough. People are impatient, unfortunately, and they leave too often and too fast.

There should be a feature that allows players, who are ready, to vote to kick the inactive host and promotes the next player to the host position. Too much time is wasted waiting in lobbies with inactive hosts and way too many lobbies have them.

I just came on here to suggest the very same thing, that is if all players are ready except the afk host, then there should be a feature allowing the rest of the players to kick the inactive host. I love Colonist, but I'm quite tired of all the rooms with an inactive host when all other players are ready, it makes it a hassle to find a game sometimes.
