If you like the main menu....you are gonna LOVE the workstation menu now. No more tabs and bulk crafting!

Nope it's just a blue pic with a white exclamation point

@Igor Q. Adam Snellgrove no longer works with Bohemia. I don't think he will see your tag. I have seen him occasionally on discord though so he may still stop by the forums here once in a while to keep in touch.

In a way it has been resolved. They did away with barriers. Now you can adjust in multiplayer settings what players are allowed and not allowed to do. No real need for the barriers in exploration now....I still think barriers should be an option for multiplayer editor made maps though.... or more control over who has what privileges by name (instead of just friends and non friends). When they made the system, it works a lot better BUT....the only flaw for me was I ended up purging my friends list to only people I trusted. All casual acquaintances were removed because I didn't know if I could trust them with my stuff.

Waiting for the day the devs make monsters jump, climb trees and fly and swim.....then it's going to be a nice challenge.

One of my personal favorite pets I like to look at is the firefly. I suppose it's because of the steampunk aesthetic. ...but I can imagine some different possibilities of interacting with it. Perhaps it could give the light as well when you wind it up...Being a fan of steampunk, I think more clockwork pets would be cool also.

Back to the idea of bonuses with pets...they could also have penalties associated with them....For instance the boar could give a slight damage bonus but could also make you hungry faster. A turtle could give you a toughness bonus but decrease your speed....etc.

Uh @Yo HasLEGO

Ooh I like the idea of a wisp or a fairy pet that emits a little light.

That why I suggest the idea of buying pets with exploration points....then you can simply earn them as you explore....(I have an extra 832 exploration points burning a hole in my pocket LOL)

I like the idea of spending exploration points on pets. I also want the steampunk robot pet to return. I do like the idea Jarda mentioned above with walking pets. One thing I would like to see is them serve some function other than cosmetic. Perhaps they could attack when you attack and do a little damage? Or maybe give a boost to certain resistances? Or a slight speed bonus, damage bonus, etc......using @Yo HasLEGO's example of a penguin pet....it could give a cold resistance bonus.

@Nikki Severin Does this mean we will be able to tame mutants and keep them now? Currently they vanish in the mornings.

I think they were referring to take the animals off the map to another map. Can't swim them over to other maps in exploration. You can only leave the map in a claimed vehicle....so far

Yay!! I can finally bring my goat. Is the car summoning going to be included?

I personally cannot wait for 1.8 I know they have been talking about implementing bigger maps, and they mentioned doing a multiplayer re-vamp. Better blueprints and more craftable items. As well as lighting fixes, no rain in ships, and several other things we all have been asking for. The suspense waiting is killin' me LOL because I am sure there's a lot more things going into the game. This has been a long wait for an update, but I feel they took their time getting multiple things people requested done...and the long time it has taken is a good thing. To me it means they have been working a ton on the game to give us a ton of things to enjoy.

I like the way you think, but I suppose a more complex question that comes along with this line of thinking is "how would they regulate it?" I love games like Skyrim and Fallout, and the modding community there has done some fantastic things....there's also a ton of adult themed mods however and because there isn't much regulation those games are rated as an adult themed games. I know Bohemia is pretty forward thinking and they probably have some sort of plan to allow some mods in the future, but the trick of it would probably involve some sort of permissions to use the mods from Bohemia itself. I know they want to keep the game kid friendly, so that requires regulations and rules they have to follow to keep that rating. I think also they ultimately want to have the game be stable (without glitches) before they even consider allowing player made modifications that affect overall gameplay. That being said, I know they have been working pretty hard to give players a ton of options when it comes to gameplay, and maybe those sorts of modifications you mention could be integrated into the actual game by the developers in the future, but that may be quite a ways in the future when they are satisfied with the overall stability and user experience of the entire game. The good news here is one thing I have noticed about the developers is they truly listen to the players ideas and lately they have been fantastic at fixing glitches and integrating players ideas into the actual overall gameplay.

If we are going to talk about energy elements in the game. A timer would be nice, but I think a dimmer switch for lights and a thermostat for heater output would be some things that need fixing first. Energy needs an overhaul....maybe after 1.9?

Are you certain it is one of the 3 share games he is allowed to have? Or is it a peer to peer server? (Meaning he did not set it up as a share game that other people can host) Easiest way to tell is to look at the regional map the game is located in. By the islands name there are little symbols. One will say peer to peer and one will say share game if you hover over the icons. Rented servers have another symbol that is used. When he leaves the game, it should kick you out and you should be able to go right back into it as the host unless it is one of those 2 reasons. If it prompts you for the password then he must give you the password. The only other possible thing I can think of is he set the game up as "hidden" in multiplayer settings. That would hide it from people he has shared with.

I'll send you a message with a link that vaguely explains things.

It's not just you. They mentioned they were working on a fix that involved linking accounts and data loss. Not sure if that is the issue or if this is the issue... Several platforms experienced issues on Sept 30th when the DST root certificates expired. This is a security feature needed to access the internet. Millions of people currently still do not have access to certain features of the internet, especially people using older devices Androids, PCs, Apple products, etc. For about a day Ylands was completely down due to this and they figured out a fix....but the social is still not fixed and I'm not certain if they are still working on it and will get back to it Monday or if they are just going to include a fix in the update they have planned. Social needed a revamp anyhow...maybe this is the perfect excuse to make it better than before.

I can't log in. Does this have to do with this fix?

I think this is for a different game? Not sure what this topic is about. Why the links to download video apps?

This is an older creation, but I decided to make a fun video about it. Enjoy

Yeah it does that for me too. I just want to go back to what I was looking at and I sometimes have to go back 5 or 6 times to other entities that I don't want to see

I have been holding back on asking any questions until I see 1.8 I think there are going to be so many changes with the next update some of my questions may be answered with it when it comes....and that may bring a new line of questions after it comes out.
