	=== Which ports does OpenClonk use? ===		=== Which ports does OpenClonk use? ===

	OpenClonk uses ~~the same~~ ports ~~as Clonk Rage. From the FAQ on clonk~~.~~de:~~		By default, OpenClonk uses port 11112 TCP and port 11113 UDP for game connections. For best speed it is recommended to forward both of these ports through your router or firewall.

	~~By default, Clonk uses~~ port ~~11112~~ TCP ~~and port 11113 UDP for game connections. For best speed it~~ is ~~recommended to forward both of these ports through your router or firewall~~.		For directly joining an IP address (without internet server) port 11111 TCP is required incoming on the host.

	For ~~directly joining an IP address (without~~ internet server) port ~~11111~~ TCP ~~is required incoming on the host~~.		Automatic game discovery in LAN works through port 11114 UDP. If necessary, these ports can be adjusted in the options dialog. For other functions the game will connect to the internet and league server league.openclonk.org on port 80 TCP and port 11115 for UDP hole punching.

	~~Automatic game discovery in LAN works through port 11114 UDP. If necessary, these~~ ports ~~can be adjusted in the options dialog. For other functions the game will connect to the internet and league server clonk.de on port 84 and port 11115~~ for ~~additional hole punching~~.		These are the same ports as for Clonk Rage.

	No. OpenClonk is played with keyboard and mouse as the whole game is designed to utilize the advantages of mouse control. This adds a completely new set of gameplay possibilities to the game that would never have been possible in the shareware Clonk titles. However, gamepad controls are supported in the game and they work quite well considering that a gamepad doesn't have a pointing device.
