So we see that your "Ruborio" account indeed had the DLC and now it doesn't seem to be connected to Steam ID. Are you using a different account now that we could give the DLC and coyns back to?

That's very strange indeed. Let us have a look at this issue.

Hey! Sorry for the late response, could you send me your game logs? We'll have a look and see what's happening to you guys!

Looking great!!!!

Hey there, Ylanders! While polishing and reworks are in full motion and 1.8 is coming along very nicely, we want to show off another new feature! Speaking of showing off, we want you to be able to show off too, which is why we are bringing Achievements! Achievements are a form of in-game milestones, which you can obtain by completing certain tasks. It can be a matter of exploration, crafting, fighting or anything else really. These Achievements will only be a part of Exploration and we hope that PC players will be happy to hear that these will be connected to Steam so you can earn in-game and Steam Achievements at the same time! To keep things interesting, there will be two kinds of Achievements in terms of how much information you get about the tasks you need to perform. One type will tell you what you'll need to do to receive this particular Achievement, while allowing you to track progress on that Achievement. And to not ruin the surprise, several Achievements will be hidden until you've completed them! And to make showing off your Achievements easy, you will find Titles alongside some of them! Titles will be displayed next to your nickname in messages, menus and of course, in the game! There will be plenty of them to choose from, even though not all Achievements will come with a Title. That's it for this week, everyone! Stay classy, Ylanders!

Hi there! Please let me know your nickname in the game and we will get it back for you. So sorry this happened!

Hey! This should now be fixed! Let me know if you're still having issues!

Hi there, fellow Ylanders! With the Competition already announced it‘s time to get back to talking about some of the improvements you can expect with update 1.8. We‘ve already said in the past that in this update we are putting a lot of effort into implementing things that you asked us to add, fix or improve. We had a lot of streams where we discussed various ideas you came up and now it‘s time to show that we value the time you spent with us. Let me now mention two more things you can expect in 1.8. You complained about confusing workstations and the fact that you have to switch between tabs (or they switch confusingly on their own) while using these workstations. This has been fixed and while we were at it, we made the workstation crafting more intuitive and responsive. Oh, and before you ask - yes, you will be able to craft things in stacks, so it would be possible to craft many more of them at once! Another issue that many players complained about are items that are available in the Editor but can‘t be crafted in Exploration. Well, while we can‘t make everything craftable right away, I think you will find some interesting items that you will be able to craft from 1.8 onwards. That‘s all for now and as always - stay healthy and classy!

Hey! Unfortunately not, you would have to come up with a way to direct the players to the spot you want them in

Ready to start creating? Read on! We're created a few guidelines that can help you realize your vision and not make us have to change anything in your Mystery Yland for it to be added into the Exploration mode. For those unlucky few who haven't visited our Mystery Ylands yet, it can contain unusual terrain, dungeon, puzzle, combat pretty much anything you can come up with. Think about it as creating something that you yourself would love to encounter in the game. Be mindful about what the players can collect and take home from your Mystery Ylands. Try to strike a balance of a meaningful reward without drowning the player in loot. General design limitations: Mystery Ylands maps should contain only one small to medium sized yland. Mystery Yland must be playable both on PC and on mobile - do not base the gameplay on terrain modification and don't use scripted terrain modification events. Universal scenarios may be extended in size using the Enable Terrain Streaming option in Game Settings. Typically, Mystery Ylands are scenarios of size 15x3x15 (including the ocean). With this setting on, the memory indicator will take into consideration the whole scene in editor. This number does not reflect the memory load in-game, as the scene is drawn only partially. For best practices on optimization, see here. The terrain can be created in the editor as you see fit, however leave enough water around so other players can reach the yland on their ships. The map must be set to multiplayer game (Game settings - Local single player game - OFF) Other design limitations: Avoid using particles and colors with glow on items, that can be carried away from the Mystery Yland. We reserve the right to have these items removed from the scenario. Rewards granted for completion of the Mystery Yland may be discussed with us in a later stage of the competition. Avoid changing parameters (damage, resistances, price...) of items, that can be carried away from the Mystery Yland, beyond a reasonable scope. We reserve the right to have these items removed from the scenario. Testing of the Mystery Yland: You can upload the scenario to workshop for testing purposes as long as it remains hidden from the general player base. The testing scenario needs to be removed from the workshop prior to it's upload to the competition cloud storage. Putting editor created maps into Exploration unfortunately comes with some disadvantages scripting-wise. Here is a couple of things that you should avoid while creating Mystery Ylands so it works as you intended once it is added on the Exploration map: Player, objects in his inventory and objects on his ship lose their internal identification once player leaves the Mystery Yland or when player disconnects from the game. This means that you shouldn't reference specific IDs of these or identify them with Entity Labels or Entity Storages. All of these change when player leaves the Mystery Yland. Example: Locked door requires specific object to be placed somewhere and that opens a door forward. If the player would take the object into his inventory, left the Mystery Yland and came back, the script would no longer recognize the object and player would not be able to progress. Example 2: An attached entity storage/label to a player would lose it's information once the player left the yland or disconnected from the game. Avoid scripts that change the player character. Player can leave the Mystery Yland and the effect would remain active on his character even on other Exploration maps. Example: Giving player immunity to fall damage so he can survive a long fall. It is important to keep in mind that entities spawn into the world after game logics. Example: Do not reference an entity in Global Storage in an On Game Start event. Game logics and their effects on entities and players are limited in scope to the yland only. Example: Skills granted by a Skill Game logic will not persist on a player once he leaves the yland.

Hey! We've updated the guidelines so as per the new guidelines, this would unfortunately not be allowed.

Hey! Could you guys check to see if this is still an issue? And if so, could you please let me know which items are misaligned? Thank you!

We'll definitely keep this in mind! Blueprints do need a rework!

The progress is amazing!!! Keep it up, I know we're all super excited to come explore!!

Oh wow! That is looking great and very funny ! Can't wait to see more progress!

Hey! We can definitely have a look at exploration point use, will keep you posted! ? Thank you for the suggestion!
