    Im a long player, but having a break for an year. I could have faked i dont know the game and you could have invited me and pay trip to there 😁 im jealous

    next time JC next time 

    But indeed, a new player see things in a different way and can also see things that we long-time players haven't.

    Like zarwill said, would be nice to make outside lamps light up only at night. It could be linked to a special generator, then activate it for all the lamps connected to it.

    For indoor, again, like zarwill said, a sensor that you enter the bedroom and light ON.

    A timer would be nice, this maybe could also be used for the outside lamps idea.

    Also, a dimmer if it ever be possible (maybe somone might dont know, basically a dimmer is a device to control the lamp intensity)

    Also, i think it time to have a normal switch like a button for the energy (those switchs we have at home to light the lamps) instead of only a energy lever. A lever looks cool for factory builds etc, but for a modern house it looks ugly honestly. I know i can fake a button in editor, but this is for exploration only, right?

    Can I alter the appearance of the player other than clothing? Can I make the player's avatar into little blonde haired Pip, the cabin boy?

    Can I change the player's name to Pip?

    You should be able to change your character appearance in your profile. If im not mistaken, in thw main screen when you run the game, in the upper left corner you will see a head icon. That is your character and clicking on it should open the profile at where you can change the appearance. You will also be able to change your name there. Keep in mind that you can only change your name ONCE. If you already have changed your name, you can't change it anymore unless you ask the developers team to help you out.

    If you need screenshots where to find tour profilebi can post it there.

    Hope it helps you :)

    have fun

    Whooooa, i always thought about making a RTS. Back in the days, there was not many "support" to make it happen. But with the "recent" updates i know it can be done.

    Sadly i took a break for like 1 year and i dont really have the will to make it.

     

    I'm glad someone turned it a real thing. 

    Only you @Igor Q. 😁

    Well, i guess the changes makes sense to me. Altough "Exploration" explains it itself because when you explore in survival games it is also an adventure, imo.  But I guess you took the right considerations to change the label. So, i guess we have to agree with that. And that's fine, I see no problem at all for older players (but this is just me saying 😉)

    Anyway, speaking about letting new players to have more freedom without the DLC, i know you already have something in mind, but i want to give my feedback/idea.

    Thus, maybe you can let players not only have a starter yland (which they already have) but also maybe they can travel to all other biomes with 1 small yland. So, very small ylands, and with very small amount of resources. The purpose is letting them know what they can expect if they buy the pack. 

    Each biome yland can also have a Hermit that explains why the lack of all resources, why not that many recipes, etc etc.

    Well, I'd say old players don't really care about the label change, we are just waiting the new update 🤩

    Whoa, @Igor Q. , is this for real? I will download them all before you regret of it ? jist wait some more hours for me to get back home eh eh eh

    You know everyone was/is amazed by your work, and your stuff is 100% sure a good look and something to study, earn knowledge from your all crazy stuff. Every people that is inside scripting MUST take a look at your work.

    You stated: in the hopes that someone else may find them useful

    Are you kidding? Hopes? they are totally useful.

    Man, you just made my christmas.

    A big thanks and happy christmas to you and yours ?

    Oooh, you made a good point. Maybe it is for that purpose?

    I already knew it would take some years for them to come up with a "finished game", and they are doing it.

    I hope they don't stop for the next few years. We, community and developer team... this game can go even more very crazy ? (i wonder what I have missed in editor)

    (Just to clarify, i did stop play ylands not because of the game itself, but just because of my own  life)

    Hmm interesting!

    Well, this for bow seems suitable for single player games. Does this new thing means, for single.player games, builders will be able to overwhelm a map? Or that is just concerning the speed of the system to interpret code (scripting)?

    Probably team already have spoken about this a little more. So, is there any future plan to improve it more?

    Not really sure what this is "really really" about, but everything can be improved ?

    Actually I'm taking a long breake from ylands, so that when i come back at 1.8, new magic and spark can happen ?

    Hell ya ?

    hmmm, awesome. Interesting... interesting ?

    I'have been thinking making a treasure hunt party where people search for chests (or whatever) abd get huge ammounts of resources/items. Tho, i will need to request my Locust viking family to help me.

    The map marks you are talking about seems a lot useful for that purpose ?

    [ EDITED ]

    compositions, are good as it is now, i cannot think of any better way to do it.

    Then, blueprints... oof...

    First, to make a blueprint is not user friendly. Its hard for us to help new people even using videos. The share process is also not user friendly, like everything, because we need to go to windows folders and deal with copy&paste (basically).

    Other thing is it can only be taken with DLC owners, which i agree because blueprints is a major "tool" we can implement in our maps. As said before, we can make blueprints for whoever doesn't own the DLC, but its not user friendly. We know we have the workshop to upload blueprints, but they would be available for everyone, which some players dont't want to.. just share with close friends.

    another thing is, from what I've heard, it hard or even imppssible to line up different blueprints. The bigger the blueprint is, the most time we need to wait it to load up, so, players thought about split the big blueprint and make several small... but they don't line up).

    anyway, ecen only DLC users can make blueprints, it would be easier if we had an option "save as blueprint" likewise to saving a composition.

    Another thing is concerning what type of items can be taken into a blueprint, but I guess that would require a lot work from the team.

    Well, i guess @spiritchaser28 will be a great person to help with ideas, im just stating what Ive heard and some from my own experience

    it happens the same with computers. Low spec computers will also run slow, a lot of lag or it will not run at all. Im surprised they achieved ylands for mobiles, and how the game state is actually, its not even possible to make it work for low specs. Its technically impossible.

    My last mobile was not compatible with ylands, but the new one is a little better and runs ylands very good.

    i fear you will have to get new mobiles. Anyway, whoever played on computer like you and me, you will not like playing on mobile, in my opinion. Its a total different gameplay experience
