vultures!....bring back he vultures! ...after 3 days of inactivity the vultures can clean them up

A thought... have a pve spawn area where new arrivals can land , gather resources and arm/equip .. then they can sail to other islands where its pvp anything goes. .......perhaps a group can arrive, equip up with weapons and form an army, then invade another island..

Such places already exist on some Pvte servers... but a public one ( or two ) would satisfy the need for those who enjoy this style of play . However it needs an "safe area" at spawn point so new arrivals...re-spawns etc can arrive, and not get slaughtered by smart a$$@S armed with guardian armor and rifles who will hang around there killing unarmed new arrivals as soon as they appear.

ok more ideas from the coffee infused brain.... Building blocks rhomboid shape .. for building walls etc at different angles. A basic ship hull that is a small rectangle... so you can add to it building shapes to its sides and ends to create different style boats.. ( barges, modern ships...) Larger windows.... and also varied glass shapes.. perhaps windscreens for ships and vehicles Different types of controls for ships ..ie a control panel that has anchor and steering combines in one unit Ability to plant grass etc that would over time change the soil color from brown to green.... ( fertilizers? ) More animals ... such as deer, or moose, elephants? Areas like swampland in tropical areas..... with crocodiles? Bridge building blocks... Icebergs drifting around polar regions.... ( don't call your ship "titanic..." ) Risk of being struck by lightning when outdoors in a storm .... More ores/minerals ... aluminium...Lead ....silver.... and uses for them in crafting A craftsman station ..where gold/silver/wood/hides etc can be crafted into decorations ..ie chalice, trophy's, furniture ..eg thrones ... curtains.. Curtains for inside windows that operate like the sleeping bag script .. they can be opened and closed. Signage that.s readable like " danger! " that's readable from a distance. Anyone else like to add to this?

is that "flattery" ..?

The Foobar team , alias BB, petemoss, honeychicken, Foobar and emo etc, have adopted a principle that when we visit an island , we do not plunder it entirely, ...we set up a small base station with shelter, some resources and a basic workstations for travelers to use . We avoid conflict with predators, only killing in defense.... leaving the rest for new comers to experience If you see us ..we are not the pvp type but will defend ...attack one and you will have to defend yourself against the group!. Co operate and be friendly .. its to everyone's benefit Should you find one of our little outposts, feel free to use the facilities, don't destroy, - after use, tidy up and replenish consumables when able to do so. Have fun!

Invaded by nuns! a school time nightmare revisited

Attendance is not compulsory. Be where you are happy. - Angels prefer heaven, the devil prefers hell. Before you cross that dividing line, firstly determine which side of the line you are standing on ....

Very nice! I arrived yesterday and have reclaimed a big area of shallow water and preparing to build ...don't quite know what, but it will not be my usual blueprint designs. The edge of my harbor is lined with glass panels and blue crystals behind the glass...easy to locate. With another new player, we jointly found a cave .. it was loaded with sulfur, saltpeter and gold all near the entrance! After a short battle with 2 mutants we had ylandium to share, and we didn't have to venture far inside the cave. Yes ... a fun time on a fun server! ..if you like the non griefing atmosphere, and meeting friendly people who like to help and build ... join us! BB posted the shameless plug... Seeya there...

All known and reported issues. Regarding "rollback" do you men mean lag /hesitating...? could be your server connection ... and also it is a known issue that with a change in 'weather" such as storms/rains FPS will drop dramatically. We either have to wait until BI developers overcome these issues ( they are working on them!) or We go back to school, learn programming/coding then volunteer to help the BI developers I prefer to wait - and drink coffee in the meantime

I never purchased any decorations... preferring to hold onto my coyns for possible future enhancements like customized avatars shapes/ faces etc to make us individuals look "unique" More female clothing would be appreciated...and not necessarily clothing that's medieval ..maybe more modern stuff but not too futuristic... ie better shoes and maybe dresses/skirts? ( and perhaps avatar breast enhancement for us gals...) The decision to refund spent coyns to those who purchased decorations is admirable... this is the first time i have seen this in a a game and it makes me want to stick with the game more. - BI cares about their player base! When modding comes available, i guess we could see an "economic base" develop with some players creating and trading/selling objects through a trading place. Perhaps there could be a special region in MP where sellers can set up their avatars as "npc traders with " stands/" to sell their suff? Any chance of a pet " bat" in future releases?

This game is still in early access. Its still being developed. There could be bugs and issues as it is still being developed...and improved -That was made clear to me when i obtained it... Just be patient, and accept the updates as the developers manage to fix them . I learned many, many, years ago that the world does not dance to my drumbeat. Patience, grasshopper Good things come to those that wait.....

you never, ever ask a woman her age or weight...... ( it wont be a correct reply.... same as with dress sizes....my sister would cut off the labels of dresses she wore as a teen and stitch them onto the larger sizes she wears today.. so if the label was visible it would look line she..( a size 20) was wearing a size 12... Now i would NEVER do that (coff coff) but then i am fortunate to have the typical Asian physique/size .. (size 12 ...eat your heart out! ) Age... lets say a good wine...

I often disagree with the voices in my head.... But you are correct, if everyone had the same opinion and never thought "outside of the box" ...we would be playing stone age versions of Ylands on a cave floor somewhere and grunting with excitement ......

On the public open servers you still get the "bang-bang your dead" immature types' running around killing anybody offline ( their idea of bravery hahaha!) and there's still the ones who like to destroy rather than create, but that is always going to be there, However there are now more PVE servers and also private PVE servers where character damage is turned off, and there are moderators and such established to rid the game of these asshats who want to ruin everything for everyone ..... HOWEVER ...... the good guys seem to be winning, and with the new naming rules, troublemakers are identified and excluded from most private server based PVE games. As for resources, some can be limited still but on the game i am on at the moment the resources are there and plentiful if you are prepared to explore, and i know that on the P1 servers the admins will patrol the spawn area and replenish depleted stuff to make it fair for new arrivals. In other words, the games now way better for MP players on certain servers, and with more enhancements outlined, its worth coming back and having a go. Just choose your server carefully, young grasshopper

Taken at a P1 special building project.... on a closed server. details to be released later. But as you see, we have fun!

Sometimes i wonder what the others get up to when i am offline....

I would like to see more tree variety... like flowering and fruiting peach / apple / trees...and also decorative flowering trees like jacarandas.. etc that go through a flowering deciduous cycle ..besides jacaranda wood is cedar, and highly prized in rl for decorative furniture and stuff. .also sheep for wool .. yarn and cloth ... and chickens! .for eggs and food ...

Hmmm making Elderberry wine...with a bite!

Do we get free Donuts and Ginger beer if we do ?

There seems to be an absence of NPC traders after the update? ...ahh they still there but they have been re-vamped. I am not going to be a spoiler and say where etc, ...you will need to find them and recognize them , but i stumbled across Eddie, in a most unusual place, and he had Picks, shovels ylandium dust, dynamite, sulfur and saltpeter to trade as well as a lot of other useful stuff. There was vegetation near where he was located that partially concealed his presence.. Good one BI The way he was set up, i suspect the other NPC traders are no longer on a simple stand out in the open, but in interesting places, and you have to explore to search for them. This NPC was the first reported on the P1 servers, and we originally thought due to a bug they were omitted after the update. But it looks like they are there.. you just have to search ... thoroughly! Please do not post here spoilers of where they are located ... Happy hunting!

horses for courses ... have both , plainly marked and with the rules stated and agreed to as part of the log in procedure. I am not a pvp person, prefer the creative/explore games , but there are some who just want to run around shooting people etc... well that's for them, let them have it, but in a place where they encounter similar "minded" people and do not infringe on the rights of others. We see people arrive on our pve friendly game and you immediately know they are trouble .. they do not try to craft or build ..usually tame a horse and then goof around, and when they find no ones paying them attention,. and there's nothing to destroy or kill ,, they then go offline, often in a place where they cause disruption or such and we never see them move again. These people are the wannabe pvp players ... they would not survive for five minutes on a real pvp server, so they look for a soft target. So we need novice pvp ... regular pvp and then pve/creative . Having just one type really would not work ... give each their own "arena" and all will be happy ..... we hope

This game is great for creative minds ... those of us who like to explore, create and develop ideas. I see all the ones that are leaving are the "shoot-them-up" types that prefer to run around going "bang-bang" you're dead ... and just don't have the ability to make anything that doesn't look like a roblox cube. So far the only safe playable pve games are on private servers that are moderated.. maybe if BI made some better moderated pve official severs, the crowds would return. Leave a few PVP servers for the unruly "bang-Bangs"..thats their choice, but make it more enjoyable for the create and explorer types. Actually, i would like to see more flora...ie flowering trees and shrubs for base decoration, and also non predator animals like sheep, deer... etc .. but i guess i will have to wait and watch the game develop.

Ylands to me is an "open ended" game ..there is really no completion. Once you build a base and explore, something new arrives, so you can start again on a new map, built better, and learn more skills. ...and in a co-operative pve game, meet new friends. Also the game is still in early release.... its still being refined and developed. It takes time and patience to learn. It takes time and patience for the developers to develop I recall once getting upset because something was happening and was "not what I wanted" ..My mothers response was " The world does NOT dance to your drumbeat". Sometimes you need to mark time until the parade catches up with you ..especially when you play the trombone and are in the front row

I once found myself with an aquatic car... but recovered it by putting dirt blocks under it gradually leading and bringing it to the surface...i then built a causeway with dirt leading back to shore...and saved for another tree / animal smashing time
