I'm thinking that server hosts should have access to a setting prior to launching a server where they can determine how far players can communicate. For example, servers with a more creative aspect might want to have a 'Global Chat' so all players can see what's being said regardless of geographic location. Explore servers might want to reduce chat to within a certain 'audible range' but would enable the use of the 'coconut radio' for long distance...

Great video, I'm more of a nomad myself! The first thing I make is a Knife then start crafting a Bow and Arrows. Then hunt some Bears for some warm clothing. (With the exception of a Wolf Helmet! ?) I don't usually cut down a tree until I decide to build something!

Yes I believe it is exactly the same issue. A good place to look at for issue reproduction would be on the generated structures which feature books on the shelves. You'll notice that the books stored within the shelves cannot be looted. Hope this helps!

1) The initial nomadic lifestyle of living off the land. 2) That chance-find of some rare material or object. 3) The pioneer atmosphere of the game!

Hey guys! After living the secluded life of a hermit in the cabin from my pervious post. My friends and I decided to 'upgrade' our little winter colony. I've been recently inspired by the architecture and atmosphere of Bethesda's Dishonored Franchise. So I've attempted to recreate that as I've begun modernising my Yland port. I have even created a humble little steam boat. Tramways: Every Dunwall city needs them! Harbour side during a clear sky...

Hey there guys! I've been hard at work developing my project. I'm pleased to say that The Hound Pits Pub is more or less finished including a complete lighting system and furnishings. I've also added a number of external decorations like wires, pipes etc to complete the Dishonored atmosphere. Check it out. Behold the Pub in all it's glory! Notice the overhead lights and cables. Inside shot of the bar. I've used smaller lamps than before to create the...

Regarding the removal of paid decorations I feel that this is a good move. I bought a pack of Jewellery Boxes. Unfortunately, being the perfectionist/hoarder that I am, I refused to add them into my builds due to their scarcity. Not many Game Devs out there are willing to admit mistakes in the direction of their games much less than actually refunding the fan base. It's good to see Ylands evolving with integrity. ?

Here's another update on The Hound Pits Pub. I decided to do a little of the interior tonight. I've freestyled the design a little. But I think I've captured the essence of it. Every online community needs a pub! Now if only we had beer.... Taken from the front door of the building. The service here is awful! Note my attempt at the stain-glass window ceiling behind the bar. A view of the other side of the bar. Now obviously there's a lot of work to do. But hopefully...

I'd definitely buy into having Capes, robes, hoods etc. Maybe they could be introduced with similar physics to flags. A wind blown cape would look heroic! ?

Thanks Ane! I've tried various Dishonored-style builds on minecraft but I absolutely Love Ylands. The ability to place items freely on shelves, tables etc is really one of the biggest selling points for old Minecrafters like me. Im trying to build something resembling The Hound Pits pub next. If I get it right I will make it avaliable for download in the future EDIT Here's my progress so far. Here's the original taken from the game to compare. Link to Dishonored...

A brilliant feature, and certainly will improve quality of life. Will players be able to upload compositions as well as download? A review feature would be a nice touch too.

Hi there guys! I've been playing Ylands since the Steam release and I must say, I've found my new 'free-time drainer'. I definitely think Ylands has the potential to become the natural successor to Minecraft. A bold statement I'm sure you'll agree but Ylands has something special. Where else can you build a little slice of heaven and then furnish it to perfection? Here's a few screen shots of my little slice of heaven. I built my home near to the spawn so I can...

The cottage really comes into it's own when built in arctic biomes. My usual tactic when playing online is to grab all the materials I need, then set sail for an arctic desert. The roof design looks good when it's nearly buried in the encroaching snow. That and it looks cozy in a blizzard!
