@Harpoon Hanna Hopefully the pure damage helps simplify everything for you @handofthesly Ah! I was missing the Armor Resistance Percentage formula which made me get a messed up Damage Dealt formula . Thanks for re-sharing!

Okay I have an update regarding this... First, you can use "Pure" damage type to bypass the resistance calculations. I highly recommend this, so you can just take the exact HP you want from a player. Second, you need some extra damage thrown in there. If the player lands around zero, they won't die. I add 0.5 to each hit so it should end up -2 below after four landed attacks. Third, the "On Do Damage" event occurs after default damage has been dealt. That Amount variable in the event gives you that value, but if it's not Pure damage, then you'll need to adjust to get the true value and include in your calculations of additional damage. On Attack event would be better, but this triggers prior to landing the damage. I suspect it would not be useful as it probably ignores blocking/dodging. Fourth, I'm not really sure what the calculations for dealing with player resistance is vs damage taken. @handofthesly would know. From my testing it looked to be: Pure/Actual Damage = Incoming Damage * (100 - resistance*1.5) <--- I'm super unsure about this, but I tested with LEGIONNAIRE ARMOR and it worked. Fifth, Get Resistance looks like it's working. You can use the equipment enum to loop through and get your total resist. Here's what I came up with: Best of luck, you'll probably need to adjust the resistance calculations since I didn't do a thorough test to discover it. Keep in mind you want to apply the calculation to Amount to get the real amount, and you'll have to reverse the calculation for handling additional damage (since it will be applied after you call Cause Damage - essentially you want to cancel out the equation - again this is why using "Pure" damage type when calling Cause Damage is recommended by me).

That obsolete on Get Resistance is troubling for sure. I can't find that documented in the tile wiki or the scripting typedocs. What values is it returning, anything or nothing? If it's still returning correct values, then the obsolete might be a caution the script will need updating after a future release. I can run some tests in several hours after work, to see if I can't get a four hit kill on player from any attach regardless of player's armor and to look for an alternative to Get Resistance (I haven't found one in any of the docs so far).

I only have 500-so hours in the game, but also been around since the early days. Glad to see you came back to give it another try 😀 In terms of swinging to much the other way from resources being everywhere, I also agree. I'm hopeful it's just part of the natural process of settling in to find a sweet balanced spot for the devs and players. I think it'd be great to increase resource abundance in caves as a good compromise. It's already higher than surface rates, but the deeper you go or more mutants there are should scale the resource reward IMO. I also hope to see some of the things you mentioned: Backpacks - Yes yes yes please! Organized building blocks could definitely still be improved and favoriting/pinning crafting recipes would be so helpful! An improvement to combat is coming, but I too hope for more. Like if it played like Zelda or something and combat from mounts would be great! Storing on mounts is in talks, but they're not sure about the implementation (see here for more details https://ylands.com/community/topic/32278-community-corner-4/?tab=comments#comment-112690) Some tips since you've been away for a while: Resources like coal are shown on the world map screen when you hover over regions. Click and hold to pick up same items within a radius of your character. Improved axes/picks or different tools like saws can reduce clicking or increase resource return. I used to jump into creative or the editor (you can filter entities that have crafting recipes) to check for items I didn't have. Still do to when testing some things out (ex: the new resource packages and if breaking them would return all the resources). I believe the reason the devs have avoided showing all recipes in adventure/exploration mode is to not overwhelm new players. I highly recommend building in those modes since you don't like the hunger. The editor is more flexible and blueprints are super easy now. I know it has a learning curve, but definitely worth spending some time in. I also know the editor is less immersive, but I feel those tools are best left out of adventure mode anyway. For stackable items you can quickly destroy items from your inventory's inspector (the eye icon). Not so much the case if you make or find a bunch of non-stackable items - needs some work still. For now keep the bark for making charcoal and gunpowder. Just make sure the bark is more top left than other wood stuff you plan to keep. Crafting/workstations pull from left to right and top to bottom. There is a dyeing stand for early painting, but a paintbrush would be good. Workaround for now: Click on a building block in the crafting menu, then click inspect (eye icon again). Hold CTRL when you click "craft" in that inspect window to take a number of those blocks into your inventory. You can split and dye stacks of those blocks as needed prior to placing them.

You need a good cogwheel found in one of the buildings on the island.

There are notes around the island, 5 of them. One is the mayor's note by a safe talking about a code. The other 4 notes will relate to a number. This will give you 4 numbers to decode and try combinations to unlock the safe (the note in the safe will help you unlock the control room).

@anna_svecova I've seen confusion on this before. The notification when trying to build on an assembled ship is, "construction mode is required". I think it would be more clear if the notification was something like, "disassemble ship is required to build; see the helm". ApexReaper has a video where they mistook the building plans as "construction mode". See the video linked below (I've added the timestamp to the link when this happens).

Unfortunately I don't recall where the sixth volcano is located. My map was deleted when I reset my progress. As for the Ylandium Wrench: It is a relic key and the recipe needs to be learned from ylandium relic underwater random encounters found on Arctic maps (make sure it's not a mystery yland map).

I think this is a great idea! Very classy putting the medieval windows on their table in the screenshot 😛 Would this mean clearing out caves might also give exploration points, or is this just in reference to the dungeons? I'm curious to hear more about what the team comes up with! Thanks and awesome work ❤️

Great build! I saw this on discord earlier and wish you good luck completing furnishing her and happy sailing! You can blueprint off-grid builds in adventure/exploration mode. More so, if you're feeling in the sharing-mood then you can make a Creator Blueprint of anything from the editor and publish to the Ylands workshop. These used to show up in create.ylands.com like this (https://create.ylands.com/asset_detail/16586) but right now the browsing feature doesn't work online in a browser. Fear not though, from the editor under "blueprints > downloaded" there is a "get creator blueprints" option which still allows players to browse/search for published Creator Blueprints. From there, players can make a copy Game Blueprints and build in adventure/exploration mode.

Would like to second this so we can reveal crafting particular to or own gameplay. Maybe bump up the Exploration point reward by 1 or 2 points and use those to unlock from the tech-tree 🤔

Not sure if this fully applies to Ylands from the Windows store, as I've only played it through Steam, but I know from other Windows store apps the EXE and related files are usually located here: "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Packages\<company.appname_id>" The folder is restricted to only Trusted Installer so you'll have to change the advanced security settings to give yourself permission to read/write in Packages. I'd imagine Ylands might save somewhere else other than the install folder, but again I'm not particularly sure in this case. Hope this helps a bit. Maybe at a dev of community manager for better details than what I can guess.

The team is on a team retreat until Monday. I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think the game gives a set time for exploration demo or works as long as you're on the "starting yland". If one of your friends is missing the exploration DLC, it's not purchased via steam store. You're friend can get it in the Yland's in-game store. Hope this helps.

Needing the compass equipped while on land. It would be nice if it was enabled just having it in your inventory.

In 1.9 you can craft raw fish meat from small fish and a knife (any knife or maybe any sharp edge - not sure). That can be cooked.

Check out this post: Spoilers are further down, but the first few comments mention a missing paper with code. Maybe you can compare with OP to see if you're missing one of the notes/numbers. I ran into the same issue, mistaking one note for a new number and missing the other note with the actual number to complete the code. It took a lot of searching and I can't recall which note(s) were so difficult to find, but I did eventually find all of them and get the code figured out. Best of luck.

Nice! You got some Select the sandstone chunk in your inventory. Click the eye icon to inspect the item and select break. It should give you 5 sand per chunk. Source: https://ylands.fandom.com/wiki/Breaking_Items

I believe you can get sandstone chunks from caves in the arid biom, then break those in your inventory to get sand. I can't think of another way on mobile, other than maybe an NPC merchant.

Not sure if terrain can be edited on Mystery Ylands (never tried it myself), but if it can, maybe you can dig under the volcano and up towards the "kill zone" to drop the items down to your friend. Other than that, I think they're lost. I noticed you mentioned in another post for the control room, your friend might have a needed item for the island. If you can't recover their stuff, you can reset Mystery Ylands. It will cost you exploration points again, but would let you and your friend get unstuck. If your friend's items can't be recovered, I know myself and others on the forum have extra sets of rare items and hoards of resources. If you'd like I or someone else could join up with you temporarily and help craft/give back what was lost. On that note: if resetting the Mystery Yland is prohibitively expensive, I can rerun the island on my end and report back or share the required item needed to fix the control room. Just let me know (feel free to message me directly if you'd like to do any of that). Best of luck and I hope you can get your friend's stuff back and complete the island.

I've experienced this as well with my ship. I resorted to making many keys to lock up mostly everything on my ship. I'll check it after work today to see if it's still a problem. If it is, I'll try to get it my in-use ship as a composition or blueprint and also submit it. EDIT/UPDATE: I check my ship again and it's not a problem for me anymore (using iron blocks and windows). It actually works out though for MP, since I welcome people aboard sometimes and it gives me peace of mind. Additionally, there is a player repositioning event when the ship doesn't have an anchor down and there are waves pushing it up and down: If anyone swims under the ship's keel and pushes against it, the game will (I think when the ship is in a downward motion) resolve the collision by pushing the player up to the nearest open space on the top deck of the ship's hull. This can put players inside what could/would be locked rooms inside the ship. So yeah, I'd recommend locking important things up on/inside your ship when in MP. My keychain is almost full though 😱

Did you try disabling your firewall and trying again? Some more information would be helpful. When do you get the login error message? What firewall are you using?

When do you see the error, is it during startup of the game? If you use a proxy and/or firewall, maybe try disabling them for a few minutes and test to see if you can connect. If it works, then a setting needs to change on one of those.

True, and now they have the tutorial built in. If maps come back, the player could pick up a existing map for the starter island. The tutorial could also give a note mentioning, "I was able to make paper and a pencil, now I can map out where I've been" to hint at the recipe progression required to build their own map.

I mostly agree with these thoughts. However, I feel a compromise for new players and those seeking more progression challenge is possible. I do think having a map at spawn is a bit too easy, but having a hidden progression path to obtaining a map and requiring the player to keep it on them/in their hot bar is a bit burdensome and unnecessary (think - they have know and then google how to create a map and create it - what's the point other than cost time and some resources - not something really earned just a time sink). Perhaps we could keep the map at spawn, islands stay perfectly mapped, but sea traversal is more fuzzy (like poor GPS signal resulting in "you covered somewhere along this 100 meter area but not a pinpoint position). This would let you keep a island to island directional relationship and what shipwrecks (in an area of sea) you've explored. Perhaps the player could create a ship compass/sextant which upgrades the map to give exact sea coordinates (not something you carry - just another object to add to the ship like helm/anchor). I completely agree, with the island level being revealed too early. Sometimes I have to stop myself from checking the map at first landfall, so I can enjoy exploring an island instead of just running off because it's low level. I also agree with lowering visibility to hide islands further away on large maps. Completely clear days with end-to-end map visibility should be 1 in 100 days chance. Not suggesting poor weather, just the addition of a rare extra clear day that lets you see islands across the maps, so the majority of the time sailing is the only way to ensure there's no hidden land somewhere. Right now it does seem too easy to just go island to island. Additionally, I'd like to add the following: When sailing to the edge of the map and going to a harsher biomes or if a seed gives higher level or large/unique islands, maybe add an event which puts the player(s) and their ship in a transitional all water map (no islands just a temporary challenge map). The player must sail across the water world to "complete" their journey to the next map. Chances for storms (rain or snow) could be higher, so just calm seas for the voyage are relatively rare. However, there could be an increase in shipwrecks/underwater discoveries (especially since more underwater biomes and discoveries are in a planned future release). The voyage can abandoned at any time to allow players to return to their previous map (say they run out of power and don't have a backup sail). The map would be long left to right and player must sail left to right to complete the trip. If they can't stay the course and end up too north or south, then the voyage is failed. Incentivizing larger ships and that upgraded navigation for sea travel mentioned earlier. That's my two cents, at least. I know it's a lot to add, but hopefully we can see more sea travel challenges without making the game harder to get into. Cheers and thanks for bringing this up @NoNoNumGum 😁

Hey, I had previously completed the tutorial prior to achievements. What I did was reset the starting yland, then when I sailed to it I got a prompt to start the tutorial. It teleported me off my ship, but the ship remains at the edge of the map, for me this was at the north. I followed the prompts on the first island there, completing the following Map markers: Torch to light the cave (lightbulb icon) Find the paper explaining multiplayer (three people icon) Lighting a fire/cooking (fire icon) Sleeping at the sleeping pad (crescent moon icon) Next it prompted if I would like to explore or to have them show me places to go. I opted to have them mark areas on the map. The markers grey out when complete, so if you're missing any it should be easy to spot. Hope this helps
