would be neat if we could talk to the npc at our started island to claim the barrier generator.

yeah this sucks man we can't use the demo hammer

around 5 a.m. PCT there was a server shut down and I was kicked from my game. When I continued my progress on 1.5 at 6 a.m. my progress was set back about an hours worth of play time but the weird thing is that my map stayed the same for where I had just explored. Even though my ship hadn't existed yet at that save time. Doesn't bother me too much but it was a bug so yeah. When I went back to the area I had explored, everything was depleted as if I had already done it. But my inventory and character were set back. Ship vanished too.

Currently playing 1.5 new exploration. I deleted my progress and started over. Made a new character and started in a new biome. My Protective Barrier Generator didn't spawn in my inventory so now I don't know how I can get my hands on one. Could I possibly make the game online mode and have a friend join and drop theirs for me to use? Hopefully I don't have to restart as I've progressed really far =/

My pleasure. I understand and thought about stability too. Maybe some sort of decaying system linked to the already existing "withered" plants to create a life cycle for plants. Example: Plant lives for a while (7-14 days) then begins to wither, releasing 1 seed on the floor in a 3x3 area around it, therefore creating a newly generated plant, which would in turn change the environment just a bit, giving it that lively feel. Or simply some sort of cap for limiting the amount of spawned entities in a loaded area with such a feature in place. Either way I'm really glad the focus is on exploration and actually excited to play it and see where it goes. ?

I have played Ylands off and on since about a year ago just to check in with it. I like where exploration is headed by becoming more expansive. I think exploration is the best part about Ylands. I just wish there was world regeneration to keep old habitats still lively. Like small grass would continue to randomly spawn or small tree sapplings would randomly sprout, or certain flowers would spread across fields over time, or npcs/animals would randomly populate. I believe this would increase replay value of exploration because it would make the world feel more lively and keep players like me more interested in their home island. The reason I suggest this is because I believe increasing exploration's replay value and lifespan is just as important as brand new content.

Traveled with raft for a bit. Traveled home. Now I am cursed and unable to eat (I'm not ready yet). Is there a hotfix that was planned for this and will I have to make a new game or will it fix it in my current save?

Title* would be fun to have like 20+ people to a server at a time. I think it would help keep us players dedicated to certain exploration servers especially when they have to be remade for every major update.

I can make x4 small 1x1x1 wooden blocks with only x1wood log. Then I can drop all 4 of the 1x1x1 blocks and deconstruct each of them with my hammer to give me 1 wooden log each. Just thought I would share that I found this out, not sure if intended. ?‍♂️

Cool, good to hear there's plans for improvement. It would make sailing and ship building that much more awesome. ?

I think it would be fair to have ships act like protective barriers at least in the sense that you can use a demolition hammer to remove specific objects; considering you can't repair anything. I understand that the protective part might not be the best in case people want to build a boat together but I think demo hammer functionality on a boat would be a big QOL addition and fairly easy to implement. It seems fair at least until a repair option is released.

I just ran into the same issue as well. It would be great to have a little repair hammer or just use the demo hammer to repair as well and just use a percentage of the original materials of the structure.
