Some names are clever and funny, but yes, its the hate speech ones and also the historically offensive ones that need to be culled. Also the ones that copy-cat a famous identity.

Ditto! I have heard there are hacks ...and such but i have no proof .. but where there's smoke there's fire.... or vaping!

Most likely someone is using an exploit to get inside. Sometimes you need double doors ... the solid type. It also pays to lock the containers inside the shed as well ..its a pain, and you need a lot of keys, but then, with some of the types playing MP, you can trust no one. Recently i have had people arriving when i am offline and removing vegetation ie flax cotton etc. ..mot just some but all of the plants !. Unfortunately its the nature of some low-life... and on a dedicated server like P1 Pve, if they do a file search and discover the thief ... they get banned.

Approaching the Honey Chicken base in the " Frying Chicken" ...note the docking guides. Also the significant lights/objects etc ... Red=port or left, Green = starboard or right. The illuminated tower is the first thing visible when approaching the island!

First of all ...i am building the ship offshore, in deep water and well away from any land built structure. I am trying to build a deck attached to the front of the ship ..but the panels ..blocks etc will NOT align ...one or two place correctly then others will not align with them with the "not enough space" message or with an unsightly gap. The ship is anchored and has NOT been moved once the keel has been placed I have deconstructed the entire ship three times, and tried an different angle to the shoreline.... ( the ship is in deep water well away form the shore ..or other structures But still the same issue....... I tried to place 4 panels horizontally together 3 align, one will not ..see the screenshot. When i placed the masts on the ship ..two either side of the keel on a platform..... they would not align parallel to the keel center line, and again slightly offset from the others placed on the other side of the keel. Its impossible to place panels and decking symmetrically on the keel ... the end results look like a Salvador Dali painting!... logs and screen shots attached ( deep sigh....) output_log.txt output_log_clean.txt

Whodunnit? A suspicious hanging......Was it suicide...? Local detectives investigating ... they suspect a mysterious "first person" did it

Its near impossible to build a ship in MP . The blocks reuse to align ..and the result is the "not enough space" message or the blocks just will not link . It looks like the ship grid is different size to the blocks. Maybe its time for a serious rethink and rebuild of the basic buggy ships hull. screenshots of my frustration attached

well pigs do fly ...

Yeeeeeeee Haaawwww! Ylands version of "Dr Strangelove..."

Been busy replanting flora... some other player devastated an entire forest and left umpteen stumps and seeds behind... so i tidied up ... looks like i planted this tree seed upside down!

i ran into that a couple of times as well ... but after a enforced re-log ( read... crash! ) it corrected itself. happened wiht sleeping bags and beds...

I have seen panthers on top of trees ..and also a bear floating offshore.... and tree climbing pigs .... hmmmm ..also encountered 4 horses in a rather compromising foursome!

its getting worse? might pay to log out until its fixed...its just not fun at the moment.

@Indomitus .... the ship grid and pier grid issue caused me to waste about 4 hours after the .11 release. There was no way i could get the building blocks to align...and it only after i finished the ship and was able to move it that i discovered some of the pier blocks were attached to the ship My latest attempt at a ship build also had the ship move as i added things ..despite the anchor down and as a result the deck panels are out of alignment by about 2 degrees! It is a nighmare to try and build anything now.... we NEED 1st person back.

Hmmm released controls .... whoops? where is my ship ...why am i swimming in mid air... is it due to gas from eating too much meat and fish? lets see i parked my ship here....it took repeated clicks in and out using esc before i could escape that anim and land ,,,,, but where is my ship? do i need to relog aagin? Relogged ...ah yes .. there's the ship. Pity i have had to relog 6 times in the last 2 hours ..and its NOT the server...its due to glitches with water, and the ship controls. Hmmm peak performance? should be repeated re-logging Whats the use of supercharging the engine when we do not have attached working wheels ?

and again ..... grrr couldn't log out or do anything ... got stuck on the exit "hamster wheel" and needed to use task manager to quit... All i did was " release controls" on helm to feed... screenshot and logs attached. have fun! ..i am not! output_log.txt output_log_clean.txt

additional screenshots : missing water... and then the screenshot when releasing helm and everything except your bald head disappears...and then when it comes back ... ship, and surrounding land missing features..

The current p1 pve server has had very few troubles regarding griefers... unfortunately we do get thieves...who will plunder any unsecured storage area. I came back after a 24 hour hiatus ( rl shopping to replenish the rl food supplies etc) and the only issues i encountered was someone emptied all the outdoor unsecured storage items .... where i had a few items to help new starters. Why someone wanted 8 flint lighters. 8 shovels 8 axes and 8 spades is anyone's guess.. and judging by the numbers standing around lost at spawn, it seems to be the effort of one person...with a collectors fetish. ( psssst none were signed or in their original unopened wrapping... ) And tonight a guy paddled up to my place on a raft ... ignored my greeting and tried to make off with my boat ... alas! it was in a PB area and he could not break the helm and anchor locks.. - so he tried to make off with the other ship alongside..but he couldn't find the helm! ( it was on a floating panel above the ship ... hahaha ) ... so in the end he j umped overboard and logged out.... i suspect he will be shark protein before he relogs .. But otherwise, as far as community goes, the P! servers are great places to meet creative people. We need more moderated servers like these.

Ok you have heard about ": drop bears" in Australia ... Ylands has " drop leopards..."

with the closure of the pve servers..and the new goldrush games that no one seems to understand how to play ...or want, p1 is now full of bodies trying to get in for a creative stress free game ..instead they just give up on the spawn island on P1 and the lag builds up with the bodies. Despite the performance enhancements ...which are good ... the game still starts to drag after a while . One day, and its as bad as before the update!

more screenshots to illustrate the issue

issue with adding dirt to waters edge ...might be related to turning water off..but cannot add dirt under water... check out screenshots

try adding dirt to shallow water.... it sometimes does not work! It only "sticks" to dirt thats on the surface.

last night ( before i was forced to log out due to a very noisy and dangerous thunderstorm arrived) i experienced some strange behavior when my avatar "woke up" ... i was a bald head on an olive green screen for about 3 seconds... a similar thing occurred when i released the controls of my boat ..and when my body appeared...i was in the water ...at the front of my ship! another time it jumped from the stern to the bow.. Today i will do some more testing in "adding dirt" when leveling..if you are adding it to shallow water, it behaves strangely ...it only attaches to land above the water,,,,and forms a layer like it is floating on top.

@Aleš Ulm :50% leading up to the release, the others since the release. Yes .. theres a lot of new things that we have to get used to, but theres also some other things ..like the issue with adding dirt etc.. sorry i have to be brief we getting a bad thunderstorm here and i have to log out..
