Its like waiting on the docks of New York for your cruise ship to arrive...and hoping its not the Titanic...

If you like pvp ... and want to survive attacks from other players or join with them to fight the AI players... try "Subsistence" ...great graphics, somewhat predictable maps, but can be brutal. Your ( or a mp team) have to survive the climate etc, gather resources, collect loot and build a base whilst avoiding predators ... and then you have to survive groups of AI hunters who eventually appear nearby and compete with gathering resources ... and they will attack and plunder your base if left unattended ..or respond with aggression should you decide to do the same to them. You can play sp, without the AI hunters.. or mp against other players AND the AI .. or band together to survive as a team to defend against the "hunters " ( and predators) who spawn nearby.. Avatars are similar, only identifiable by gender and names.. A great way to fill in time while waiting for other games to update....

Ditto here. ?

currently all the servers/ mp games are dead....everyone seems to have gone elsewhere for amusement while waiting. I will be honest... so have I, and found a few other games that have piqued my interest. The danger is others might do the same ...and never return...

Usually its around Thursday .. their time ...which is Friday where i lurk ... so i am hoping its around midday tomorrow my time ...if not, i will still be chewing the edge of my computer desk in desperation .....

? When seagulls come back ...will the air sharks fly around after them ?? and what about the ones that sometimes end up on land ?? I htink having animals on a boat will be one way of protecting the boat from thieves..... just park the boat where there's sharks .. they gather around and act as guards ....

Unlawful ? illegal? Whats the difference? ......... Unlawful, ...against the law, .. Ill- eagle ... a sick bird ? Waiting anxiously for the update.........

The shovel only flattens dirt / sand ...not areas containing stone/marble. You need to use the spade or a pick to dig stone and marble. It looks like you are on a stone area where you are digging...?

Coined by Dr Seuss in his Lorax story. These are people(? ) who arrive solely to see what they can destroy or disrupt then immediately go offline never to return. They do not want to become part of the game etc, they just "think" its clever to be an a$$#0!3, ... and its all they can do. Sadly, we have had another player leave our friendly server for a while because one such social misfit raided his base and took everything worthwhile. I am used to it now ... i expect to find my storage broken into and items stolen and replaced with grass, stones resin and wood pieces etc... and its always why i hide a predator in the foyer areas of my dwelling ? ..or fit a hidden Tesla coil somewhere! I have had some "idiot" clean out my help area stores and then either dump the contents at sea or bury them somewhere....... so that's why i don't make such areas anymore. All my doors/ships are locked...or have keys available, because if not, some pea-brain will make a key and lock it for you. I have even had to replace workstations that have been padlocked by these nit-wits ...not a big deal if they are under a barrier, just a waste of a few seconds of time. I am sure the biggest storage files on some servers are those that have the ID numbers of banned trolls and such. But then what else can you expect from people in the world these days? I used to play in a community band, and at every public performance there was always some half brain who tried to lob objects into the tuba players instrument ...and surprisingly the worst places to perform were in the campuses of universities where the future intelligentsia would act like spoiled pre schoolers... Unfortunately, its something us responsible, sensible and socially acceptable people will have to put up with ..?

I had a ship stolen ..unfortunately i parked it with part of the stern outside the barrier and they simply placed there a new helm and anchor, effectively removing mine under the barrier! They then sailed my ship out to sea and dismantled it, scattering bits on the ocean floor. Their idea of "lulz" My response wast to make another ship outside the barrier...but i didn't use a ships keel ...just made "cladding" to look like one ... hahah ..it was a dummy ship and yes...a tesla coil was connected to the anchor switch. In the following 4 days it fried 3 wannabee hijackers. The bodies had nothing on them when they dropped, they were all new arrivals. But then, i am there for the game and fun, i don't want to become like these "once-lers"?

Decided to post this as i have just been tossed out of my game for the 3rd time in 20 minutes ...nothing unusual with 0.7 , really, but i have time to report this: Un-choppable trees ..if you chop down a tree and then destroy the stump before chopping up the fallen tree, there is a 75% chance the fallen trunk becomes phantom and you cannot chop it up. A rejoin will fix it. Risky movement on a boat ..... if you are moving about on a boat deck while its moored, and building superstructure on it, if you dont take care and take tiny movements, you get tossed around the deck and even into the water, which is not pleasant if there are sharks interested in your building activities. climbing aboard your boat via the ladder.. sometimes (most times! ) you reach the top and stand on the deck ..treading water! ... a tap on the space key fixes it.

OOH PLEASE introduce this! Its needed ... i hate stepping over bodies on my doorstep or inside small open buildings/workshop areas ... some come in ...run around then they NEVER return. It can be a form of griefing..?

My Pc was first assembled in 2006 ! its still the " same " Pc ...( like the Maori axe ...has had 3 replacement heads and 5 replacement handles ..but still is the same axe ? ) When i first got it, it was " built" by my other half from rejects at a computer swap-meet. Other nerd gamers had upgraded and were selling at discount prices their superseded bits and we started off with a huge case ..that could accommodate a lot of stuff. The original cpu was an amd dual core ...bees knees for the day.! As a result , over the years in stages i have out in a new Motherboard, Intel i3 upgraded cpu ... added an external 2 Tb HD ...(inside the case!) beefier PS and a Nvidia 750 gtxi video card... plus other bits. Having all the room allowed for extra slots for things and also an additional fan for cooling. Getting to the stage though, where another upgrade will be needed .. but the $$$$'s have yet to be found... One day ?

reminds me of some guy who invited me out to dinner some years ago...

Ha! he is showing up his neighbor! Of those beaut constructions, most were built just around the coastline from my dowdy but functional buildings.... guess i need to lift my game? Great builds there

Hmmm - you wood say that !

Sings... "I'am a lumberjack and i am OK , I got the logs ... just as you say .... " (apologies to Monty Python.,,) output_log.txt output_log_clean.txt

Any update on the possible resolution of this bug? ..i have re-logged 5 times...and still unable to build. Very frustrating !

i see two arrow shaped eyes pointing outwards, joined by a single eyebrow, a long thin nose and a smile with a sharp upward pointing fang.. Must be just me ... ?

perhaps we need better undies? hehe guys in shorts ...gals with crop tops and bikini bottoms.. perhaps have an options screen to chose them at log in..? Looking forward to fixed ships ..i hate getting tossed overboard every time i turn around

has visions of us gals in stilettos, lacy bra tops and frilly knickers wrestling bears ... :

The P1 PVE servers try to provide a non toxic, non violent and friendly gaming experience, with emphasis on exploration, co-operation and creativity. Unfortunately, most of these words are to big and complex for a lot to read and understand .. but to those that do, here is what you will find, and what to do if you decide to join in and want to become part of the community. You will arrive at a spawn point on a suitable starting island. There will be signage with instructions and directions. It will be in a predator free safe area, an illuminated. Do not try to take the lighting, its made un-pickable! There will be predators outside the safe area! Close by will be an area with some chests containing basic resources, and a place to sleep at night. Of course you will be surrounded by the lifeless bodies of the "Once-lers" ...those who log in , look around and then log out never to return. There "might be" available some dinghy's for you to use to escape to another island, .... "might be" is the main phrase, as it is not uncommon for some people to think its fun to take the boats offshore, abandon them then swim back to repeat what they think is funny. They soon discover when they abandon the boat, that there are effective shark patrols that cull these type of fools. A lot of the bodies at spawn are of those who found this out the hard way... What to do on arrival at the spawn point : look for and read the signs for tips etc Locate any help chests and take only what you need ... do not be a pratt and take the lot or fill them up with junk stuff. ----- Its possible that help chests will be empty or filled with things like sea shells grass, or sea urchins... .... Welcome to the reality that there are social misfits here as well as in the real world! Sleep when requested ... use <enter> /who to see who is online ..if they do not have a 0 .but 100 or 998 or such in their details, then these people have some form of admin rights... and if around, they will help and give advice. They can also ban/boot you if you are nasty and troublesome. Remember, if you come in to cause trouble, the admins can peruse server logs and you will get a perma ban from the server! Get your dinghy ready and stocked with food...( bananas corn or whatever) and look for seagoing birds and set out. There could be some help stations nearby with facilities to make a map or basic tools etc... use, but do not destroy. DO not rob other peoples stores, or if you see a place under construction, interfere with it or the owners belongings or materials etc. Please, do not build on spawn island. .it becomes laggy after a while and you will soon regret it , especially after other anti-social new arrivals do their best to wreck and steal everything that they can. Join discord and the chat channel .. and find out about restarts and hints as to where there are good places to build. Sometimes a group will gather as an "expedition" to explore caves etc or to build some facility, like a mooring pier ... join in! Unfortunately, after about 10 days, a map can become unstable and lagged, and everyone will need to restart over... so use your blueprint camera to save your favorite build for when that happens . Usually there is a discord discussion prior to any decision being made, and all active players alerted and given a time and date. If you have earned the communities respect as a trusted and creative player, when arriving at a new map you " might" get a spiffy set of neon clothing and a few extra items to help you start out, ie keys to an area where you can get maps, basic tools and stuff.. but you have to earn it But most of all, when you are on P1 PVE server ... Have fun! see you there!

Hi Baz... We are still at it ...maps last longer now, and better fps, but you are right ..there will always be asshats, and the ban lists are way longer than the list of sensible players With the only open servers being heavily moderated, and nearly all the other MP servers privately run, the playground for the asshats is shrinking. Guess they will have to go back to playing donkey kong or my little pony .... P1 PVE is surviving and thriving ... do drop in ...ignore the once-ler corpses around spawn... they will get dumped eventually, but they still pile up there like coke stuffed lemmings... you can hit us up on discord. - The hard core is still there

Ylander to weather forecaster: "I saw a crab climbing a tree ..what is that a sign of?" Weather forecaster" " That is a sign of rain..." Ylander...: " How much rain?" Weather forecaster..: " how far up the tree was the crab?"

Quick workaround to felling trees and removing stumps ...also stone lumps ... .... use a revolver! - 6 shots will fell a tree..another 4 to 6 will cause it to break into logs...... and 4 will remove the stump! Also 4 to 6 shots will turn a lump of rock into a pick-able stone. Not the best way to remove things, but more accurate and you can avoid hitting other things. Besides ...its also fun
