Suggested it ?

We'd have to add a separate space for gloves in the inventory, but maybe we can make some tops, that contain gloves ? I'll suggest it.

Specifically parts of the Editor that you find hard to read?

So we tried and failed to replicate it. Do you still have the scenario, where it happened? We could go by the undo history to replicate it much easier ? But you'd have to have the option selected beforehand. If no, could you tick it and send us the map when it happens again?

I like the second idea a lot and I'll discuss it with the Devs. Will be a long term project though if it gets approved ?

Well, I'll be damned, it is happening everywhere. Nice catch. Programmers are aware of it now ?‍♂️

Whaaat? ? Oh man, gotta ask QA immediately if this is happening elsewhere too

Well thank you ? We're glad you're enjoying the update so far and all the optimizations that went into it, though we plan to improve many more aspects in the coming updates.

Probably not in the way it used to be because of Mobile limitations but we are working on ways to at least 'regenerate' water, that has been dug up.

We were also told in December soon ? Unfortunately when relying on third parties, stuff always gets complicated. But there's continuous work being put into this from us and from Nitrado too and we really hope we're close. Regarding your server, from our side you still have it, so if you can't see it, it's probably a bug and we're looking into it today.

Summer is fast approaching (or departing, depending on your location) - so we would like to invite you for an unforgettable seaside adventure, in our latest update: Update 1.3 Watery Waters. Dive deep into the sea of content we have stuffed this update with, ranging from deep-sea exploration to Editor improvements, additions and overall fixes. Whether you are a die-hard exploration fan or a renowned Creator - there is something for everyone in this update. So grab your swimsuits and snorkels - let's dive in! Update 1.3 - Watery Water - major features Brave the depths: strap on the new scuba gear and explore the many random encounters we have sprinkled the sea floors with. Discover wreckages of old cargo ships (and alien saucers), monuments from a bygone era or a secret botanical facility. Renewable resources: for those brave enough to conquer the depths, these new encounters provide a source of renewable resources - eliminating the late-game resource deficit. Water is your playground: use the new water volume tool in the Editor to create your very own puddles or lakes. My other horse is an ostrich: almost every existing creature can now be tamed, ridden and some even harvested. Not only these beautiful new beasts of burden are marvellous to look at, some of them can be "persuaded" to part with their home-grown, organic milk & wool. The world is your tapestry: mould the land to your liking with our brand new terraforming tools - making it easier than ever to sculpt the landscape. You're basic: you don't have to be remarkable to get recognized. Unlock your true building potential with our new basic shapes - available in the Editor. V for Visual: Visual Scripting received a visually pleasing visual overhaul Just the tip of the iceberg: we've also added a host of other new features, improvements and bug fixes to the game - please refer to the changelog for a detailed list or just discover them while playing the game! So there you have it Ylanders! It certainly is pretty exciting and we can't wait, what you'll think of our new Watery world ? There are still many improvements in the works, but we have to keep something for future updates ? So have fun and stay classy Ylanders! Changelog: https://ylands.com/community/topic/27925-13-watery-water/

As I understand it, we are now waiting for their final version (after some fixes on their side) and then we'll test it, but it shouldn't take longer than 1.4. ?

It's now on F9. All changes should be in controls settings.

Hey there Ylanders! We are putting the finishing touches to Update 1.3 and are looking forward to our other updates and what we’d like to do for the rest of this year. Apart from bringing you cool new features and improvements, we also want to concentrate on some serious polishing and fixing. And in this, we need your help. So, in the coming weeks, some of our Dev Diaries are going to be focused on your suggestions and concerns. And this week we’d really like to hear, what you have to say about the games UI. For instance, what do you think about the Main Menu? The way games are organized in the games section? Or what do you find needlessly complicated or time-consuming in the Editor’s UI? Are there too many buttons to press to get to an essential tool, that you’d like to have more readily available? And what about in-game? Anything you’d change on the HUD or in the Inventory section? And anything else that bothers you concerning UI in Ylands? We will go through all your answers and in a week, we’ll make a poll here and on our Social Media to find out, what bothers you the most so we can concentrate on that when we polish up the UI. We will take your feedback (all of it, not just the most voted on) and act on it where we can and where it is possible. It will affect the future of the game and future updates. Now don’t worry, if this isn’t the subject you’d want to talk about, we’ll be going through many more aspects of the game in the coming months getting your view on it and how it could be improved, but If you have a pressing problem or a suggestion, always feel free to write about it in our Suggestion section of the forums, which we check regularly and from which we take great inspiration. And that’s it for now, so stay classy but most importantly stay safe Ylanders.

It definitely wasn't our intention to make the terrain tool less powerful and in fact we find it much better than before (switching to a 2D paintbrush, more variation with intensity, direction locking etc.) but that is definitely also down to preference. But do write to me (you can DM or on Discord) your major problems with it and we'll look into it, if that's something we can improve.

We are testing their version to find out, if it is all running correctly and if yes, then then it is up to Nitrado, when they want to start offering Ylands servers ?

You're right, nice catch ? Will edit it. Cheers ?

We're working into it and hopefully will be part of an early hotfix.

That's beautiful ? Do you have a sunny one too? ?

Hey there Ylanders! Welcome to the second issue of the Explorer's Gazette ? The supreme edition (with interactable links!!!): https://data.bistudio.com/ylands/explorers_gazette/Explorers_Gazetter_Vol3_May20.pdf

Hey there Ylanders! So Update Watery Water is coming ever closer and yet we haven’t talked about the water too much yet. Well that’s about to change! We have some really cool new features coming into 1.3 that’ll let you really explore your creativity with our liquid friend. So first thing’s first, there is a new tool next to the terraforming tools, which will let you add water blocks. Now, these you can then extend and expand to your heart's desire, as long as they’re not too close to the sea (we don’t want that saltwater mixing up with the freshwater ?). Now this water works the same as seawater, you can swim in it, float in it, even put ships in it! You can also envelop the water in a specific type of terrain, so it makes a kind of pool, which is pretty neat, and also it will make sure there isn’t a box of water floating somewhere in space. And while we are still working on possibilities to make water flow (since mobile devices still aren’t powerful enough to render anything like that), the water now makes countless possibilities...well possible, like the pictures below ? I can already see Ship Parkour, where you have to sail and jump from one “Water Tile” to the next ? Finally, there is also a possibility now in the Editor to regenerate water, so while you are in the Editor and digging near the sea, you can simply press this button and the sea will regenerate to compensate for the loss of land. We are also working on this happening in the game in real-time, but that will be for another update sometime down the line. And that’s it for now Ylanders, so until next time, stay classy and safe!

Not currently but we can look into it ? Could be interesting ?

You can make pools, but not quite sure what you mean by water features. Fountains won't be possible, but still water yes.
