yes we are in a sharedgame. How can we prevent having our character reset if we die? it seems very random as most of the time we don't get a complete reset just respawn at the nearest Yland. But the offline death that followed with a complete character reset was the straw that broke the camels back. Thanks

I was given a link to this post from my recent post because of problems my wife and I have been facing that has been making us want to quit the game until they are fixed. All the things I'm going to list are from a MP sharedgame explore private non PVP world only two people play on. 1. Dying while offline. This should not be possible in a non PVP server. especially if caused by "starving to death"? as this seems like the only explanation i've seen others die from while offline... This is bad enough as it is without any way of knowing why, how and what caused it and or any information given on how to prevent it. This all in a non PVP private world with only two people. (A little google searching shows this is a known issue for nearly a year...) 2. Complete character reset away from where you actually died. The dying offline is bad by itself and is a major problem but now couple these two things = Game breaker for us. If we're adventuring around and we die from a fall or an animal attack or even starving to death from lack of food, we end up spawning at the island we died at or closest to. I've died so many times away from the original spawn yland and never got spawned back at the original spawn. I've seen this as known by players since 2017 or longer? 3. Free placed items causing ship to not move. A dresser was freeplaced onto our ship to store all my stuff that was laying at the bottom of the ocean from my random offline death and this dresser caused the ship to be unmovable. we literally had to remove everything from the ship to figure out what item was keeping our boat from moving. And the only reason we figure out to try that was from a youtube video with the same problem from almost a year ago. This is a known issue and a year later still an issue? SMH These issues have been around a long time and when coupled together make out to be a giant game breaker because they aren't preventable and or even self inflicted. Dying offline in a non pvp server AND Character reset has me all together wanting to uninstall the game. if death = great punishment meaning character wipe because you failed at surviving in the game then I get that and I'll play within those rules of the game but then there needs to be a way to prevent this from happening when needing to leave the game while away from original spawn. I'm all for "realistic" survival but seeing how if I die from a bear at a yland across the map from my spawn I've always spawned locally not reset.

If I make a non "Sharedgame" it saves the world and I can access it but I can't do anything with Sharedgames....

Did this ever get answered because I can't find any topic on this and I'm currently not able to edit or find a way to save my Sharedgame so I can edit the world in editor... As it is now the sharedgames don't even show up in the Editor.

What do I do if my Explore games don't show up in editor?

I couldn't find anything on this or maybe I was searching the wrong things. My ship got stuck in my harbor and while digging it out the water levels dropped and made it more stuck than it was to begin with... How to raise the water level back to before digging out my ship? I apologize if this has been disgusted and some how I missed the topic but I thank you in advance for helping.

playing multiplayer with my wife. we found a way to raise the water back up but it is very time consuming. You have to be at waters edge with the shovel that levels the ground. you have to be two levels higher than the water and use that item on the waters edge and it slowly brings the water back to level, it seems one square at a time... a bucket needs to be added in which we can grab water from somewhere and fill in other spots or the water mechanic needs to be tweaked a little so that it flows into spots dug instead of air pockets being formed when dug out from deeper water.

First let me preface this with I'm new my wife and I just got the game last Friday and absolutely love it! The main problem we're having is identifying items to build with. We're playing survival mode and trying to construct things like a boat or a house but can't properly identify any of the wood blocks. I feel like I'm missing something. The wooden blocks all have the same names, even after building all of them at least once. We thought making them would name them differently, but that didn't work. We watched videos on the game from a year ago and see lots of different names for blocks that are just now called "Wooden Block" and when mouse hovering over them they moved and showed a more accurate view of the block before building it. Now most of the wooden blocks look very similar and or we can't determine their actual shape what so ever. Is there a setting we're missing? or is it because we are playing in survival mode? or is it that the game was reverted from 2017 to where it is today? Thanks in advanced

ahh okay just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Thank you for letting me know that is how the game is in its current state.

That actually doesn't help at all because what you described doesn't seem to be something I see in our games? You mean once you've used material to make an item you then can rotate it and see its angles... Can that be done before wasting materials on items before making something you aren't sure is the item you need? When we left click on any block in the crafting menu it does not give us a 3D image that we can rotate or look at from different angles and when searching "Wooden Block" we get countless different shapes and sizes with no other description to help determine what size and dimension the blocks are aside from some looking square and others looking elongated. Print screens provided to show what I'm seeing. Some of the videos I watched had quite a few different names for some of these blocks but now all of them are just "Wooden Blocks"? that does not seem easier to search for the block you need if you need something specific sized and yet can't tell unless you build it what size it actually is or if its a triangle shaped or square. Some of these you can build and the picture / sprite indicates its square then it turns out to be multi angled block >_< Am I missing something or is this how it is right now?
