Yeah I agree....I usually get maybe a couple hundred zirconium and I am done with it....It would be nice if it could be used for other things. I still like the idea of engines and power sources using zirconium. It does not have to be faster than the max amount of engines used for current engines on the ships actually....but it would be maybe a cool idea if zirconium/ylandium engine combos could perhaps use less space......for example steam engines and ylandium engines produce the same speed.....maybe a zirconium/ylandium engine combo could produce the same speed with less engines?. I know 4 engines reaches max speed on steam ships.....so let's entertain the idea of a zirc/ylandium engines reaching the same speed only using 2 engines......it could also be used for smaller charging stations, better batteries.....etc....Just tossing out ideas

After @ocnoglittle showed how effective the forum votes are in one day and comparing them to Discord, Reddit, etc....I dunno. I will agree with her when she says it represents a smaller portion of the community...maybe there is some way in the game menu to automatically link into the forums......I know they tried this before, but it ended up opening default browsers and depending on the default browser used for the internet , took up more RAM than expected in many cases.....I know when it worked I hated using it because it would open up Chrome, and that meant I'd have to wait at least 10 to 30 minutes for chrome to open......since then I upgraded my RAM to 16 GB, but not everybody has that.....most people have 6 to 8 and multitasking in that manner causes major problems waiting for computers to respond....cellphones as well......maybe if they could have a direct forum in the game???...not quite as extensive as the forums here, but a place to report errors, bugs, make a few suggestions and have votes??? Not a place to post pics, movies, promote other websites,..etc.....just an in game smaller forum??? I dunno just a suggestion....A simple text forum in game where you could vote for things and make a few suggestions and reports with the last output logs for them to analyze? (if that's even possible.....if not maybe an email address where we can attach the logs and pics and examples f the errors.....that's a tough one to think about adding within the game, the output logs I mean) I also like this idea of a fast post of changelogs within the game @zarwil suggests.....All of these ideas could be incorporated into social.....or even better just have a separate menu option underneath the play with friends option.....I mean separate part of the menu to click...so it doesn't use the same social system.....just a different way to comment and chat with less mess.

I think maybe wait for the hotfix to see if it even applies after they do it...I mean I know they are already going to do more work on the prop pack.....colors might be fixed with the actual hotfix....I doubt though the helmet will be seen as an issue so maybe think of keeping that on the list

It's just odd....not a gamebreaker.....but knowing pigments were subtracted from your inventory....and these things show up in the inventory as correct colors....but when you equip them......well it's default colors.....so really no use in wasting pigments

I see white now...255 rgb matches with stone....so yeah pretty much fixed...but if you want to ask them about colors...maybe toss in the propeller pack question and the barbute helmet

Question 45....Ylands is in the Microsoft store....so maybe it would be better to ask if when it's coming to Xbox?

You can scrap question 30....they fixed it

Wow! You got a huge list! Ocnog if anybody ever calls you disorganized...I'll slap em

I guess this confuses me mostly because DayZ has one of the best chat systems I have ever seen in a game.....and Ylands just fails terribly with the chat system.....I mean I know Bohemia knows how to do it right.....so why choose to do it wrong on another game? I will make another addendum.....I will stop posting this here because none of this conversation has anything to do any more with Rob's place.....which for anybody reading this.....it's fantastic.....check it out if you get a chance Flintlock Rob is amazing:)

As an addendum....I will add this fact.....I have met the best people and most helpful communities playing this game.......but not actually in the game......I can sometimes chat with people in the game but I have a lot more conversations with them when I shut the game down So there is a huge community that plays.....but most of them chat on the forums, discord, twitch, twitter, facebook, etc just because it's one bazillion times easier to chat on those forums...heck I can even use my microphone if I want on some.......which brings me to another Bohemia strange issue .....DAYZ has proximity voice chat....Ylands has bumfuggled type /w to talk to a friend.....I mean it's too much work .......Ten times easier to just type hi....or in the case of DayZ......just say it.....ylands though....um nope....you gotta hit enter, scroll your mouse over to the chat screen, left click it, then type /g to say hello to everyone.....and hope you spelled that right because you got confused going through 40 steps to say hi

It used to be very direct....there were no "saved messages"......you say hi to a room of people and they saw you saying hello.....now it's bumfuggled.....type /g and your message and hope to god you typed that /g or you have wasted typing 1 thousand letters because well Ylands did not recognize your command???.....that's anti social in a nutshell....Don't get me wrong.....it's nice idea to view old messages.....but with this system.....good luck actually seeing them....if you do see them you are in the rare 10 percent.....the rest of us have to shut down the game with task manager and pray to god our computers do not crash.

Oh....sorry.....I have shared maps with people and they have not gotten the actual share because they were simply offline ......when they got online....they never saw the share...so yeah.....it's like a dropped phonecall....when I could invite my friends that were online at least I could see they were there....and we can still see if they are online when the social tab actually works.....but good luck.....90 percent of the time you are looking at a loading screen and have to use CTRL Alt Delete, to exit the game.....and after you close the game using task manager.......well you don't feel very social......and certainly have missed all the messages and invites people may or may have not sent.

Eh again I will disagree....getting invited to a game to me was like a phone call.....it's very social....it's immediate.....joining a friends map 4 days after they share it with you is sort of anti social......chances are when you get there....your friend is not there

We can agree to disagree....I do agree that inviting a person to play was a bit like teleporting them......but I think it was more "social"...What I mean is....the game is more fun when you play with friends....the system now seems like they do not want you to play with friends at all.....the only way to get a person to play with you in explore atm is share a map and hope they come while you are there...it was a lot easier just to invite...at the very least you knew if your friends were too busy to play with you......now it's share a map....and hopefully 3 days from now your friend might see your invitation...and when they finally arrive a week later...the map is gone or has been deleted...or even worse It's been depleted of all resources and is just no fun to explore.

I can add it there....but I honestly don't have the output logs......I just assumed at first they ran off.....then after I couldn't summon them and searched the entire Island, I assumed maybe other animals attacked them....but I never see that sort of thing happen...so I dunno..just poof....animal pen is useless

@lady_whynot brings up a good issue also. I had 5 tamed goats attached to 5 separate animal pens....when I got back to the map.....they were just gone......couldn't summon them....all the pens remained....it was as if they never existed.

I'll just share the map with you next time I'm there Ocnog........the social tab system is a bit weird....and honestly I have had a lot better luck sharing the map and waiting for someone to show up than inviting......which seems to be gone now. But honestly that deserves a bug report.... Social is just "Anti social" now......ever since 1.4

Hmmmm maybe that could be it? But I gave you the password....and I didn't give YohasLego the password...so that doesn't make much sense

I may sound like I'm ranting....but hey...we would like coal and copper to be a little more.....common.....gold can remain rare....and zirconium.....well just find more things to make with it....when I first started playing this game I thought .....ok zirconium is stronger than iron and steel......but then I realized....I can't make one single zirconium...(or steel) block for my ships....I can do plenty of glass and wood though....so yeah .....I got zirconium but go ahead and break my glass ship with your flint knife....that sounds fair...

Well gold used to be somewhat useful when we had traders....the vendors sell a few things, but it's nice finding a trader like Morten, Andre and Ruth for basic resources like coal, glass, wood, iron, stone chunks and copper.....I used to trade ylandium dust....but even that is sort of rare now.....I just think the devs should make copper and coal more common....copper is rarer than coal, but it's not as rare as gold....it seems to be opposite in the game, but even now you can't find a trader to accept your gold....and vendors are fun....but I mean they got nothing I want....it's sorta nice to make a place feel more alive...but in the long run....I buy nothing from them.....maybe if they sold some copper and Ylandium dust and Iron Ingots I might be interested ......but nope....I don't want a pizza thanks And Zirconium.....lets talk about this. You can make a few good weapons, some white and brown armor with decent protection a decent scuba tank.....and well.....that's it....I mean if it's considered as a precious resource.....I think it could be more useful With coal and copper, yes it's more common than gold in real life.....but wow can't find any now....It's sort of pointless to build steam engines without the fuel....charcoal and wood pieces work, but dang......I don't want to chop down a forest just to make my ship move

I personally didn't have any issues. I know it takes a bit longer to load, but other than that....I mean....when I shared with YoHasLego, we didn't experience any issues.....maybe it was just the fact they had discord and twitch open as well? I know Ylands requires a huge amount of memory, and multitasking ain't the best thing to try to do when playing. I'll never open chrome again when I play LOL crash city

Naru was planning on streaming it....but something got messed up with the sharegame feature....I think maybe simply sharing the map can have a few issues if the sharer is not there Ocnog could not get in.

Hmmm....scratching my head now......I wonder if this has anything to do with the custom color changes they implemented. I know the propeller pack can show the colors in the icons, but wearing it does not display the colors you may have painted it,....I'm a huge fan of neutral colors.....so even though my propeller pack is black ..it still shows up on my back as vomit orange.....not sure who chose that terrible default color but I digress

Some things should remain unspoiled....I have had the pleasure of sharing this map with some friends and on video......but yeah....I ain't gonna chop down a single tree there or break out my hammer to build anything.

I had a slightly foggier view LOL But I agree I love this place
