kimbuck

Thank you! Success! ...... uninstalled the old version, and the steam version... re-installed the steam one...and managed to get the log in screen..and the settings with the link button Thanks for the prompt reply. Going to call it a night now, and then tomorrow start a new era of exploration :-)

Link account button is missing. I can open one account and get the "old" ylands etc version 0.5.37830 ,,that's the pre steam account... The other account which is the steam one has my steam login id at the lower left, and the settings button does no work. There is no image on the screen, just ocean.

ok just noticed something... ylands account is 'kimbuck" but on Steam its grabbed the steam account " kimandina1" and displays it on the bottom left of screen ..maybe this is the issue? if so how can we fix it ?

Help! suffering ylands withdrawal symptoms! Received key, added game and entered key. all seemed ok no issues apparent, accepted the key and said game activated. no difference from usual. Could launch game through steam, however Couldn't find link window in setting, justt a redeem code button. Today, Another game "ylands " appeared in games list ..clicked on it and got a message installing steam version. Waited and waited, eventually it said loaded. Opened game to run it and got screen with no avatar etc and no access to existing games... settings button does not work, but news etc buttons do . Clicked on continue ... and get a screen with no island or avatar and a blank square. so went back and tried a new game option... got a square saying workshop unavailable etc. Tried clicking on a scenario and got a blank screen with the messages "breeding hogs etc ... cycling through repeatedly and no progress. Tried a re-install, no further progress... tells me that the key is already linked to a game. Took screenshots but cannot locate them anywhere. Help! ? before i descend into the depths of despair :-)

I can confirm the "stuck in the wheel" issue ....i found if i clicked back on the helm control, the wait, then release control and step back, you can escape. I also found if you have restricted space behind your helm ( ie storage boxes) that could cause the issue.

I believe someone already suggested a compass.. That would be an excellent addition, especially if it was included on the map with n.s.e.w. references... as it is currently easy to sail in circles. My thoughts is that the compass could be crafted via .. 1 ingot, 1 raw glass, any hammer and a screwdriver. If a tiny floating window displaying the compass.. and your bearing appeared in the corner of screen while sailing it would be a great help in finding your way home. This would be linked to having a map, of course

An additional thought ..... when map is opened, perhaps a x or something to indicate where you are on the map..?? just the island outline is not enough to help you get your bearings.

i can confirm the grave block effect on a ship. It becomes immovable and the ship gets stuck on it. You have to spend time ( avoiding sharks) hitting the block until it breaks, or if you are lucky, move the ship in such a way that the grave block slides off the deck ...where it remains suspended over the ocean. The same with dead sharks ...sometimes they will slip out through the superstructure and the corpse floats in the air behind the ship. Once i left a trail of six floating corpses in a line behind my ship ... Also noted that in one case a passing seagull flew into the side of my ship ... and caused the ship to rock violently ... it eventually slid along the ship side then when cleared it and flew on its way and the ship returned to normal movement By the way, i am enjoying this game. looking forward to more developments etc Its a great way to spend a day inside when the weather is wintry outside.

yes in building mode.. it happened again in a different area this time .... screenshot attached .. rain was coming straight through adding another layer of blocks seemed to stop it

This is what happens when you "kill" th sharks and cannot reach them to gut them ... they assume weight ..and will prevent the ship from moving if they foul a structure alongside.

here are some screenshots of those pesky shark attacks.. they start by coming up through the flooring and as others join in it forces them up eventually to on top of the deck /roof. Last trip i had six of them jumping up through the floor it the boat. When you kill them ..( best by using a spear) they roll over and become a weight that de-stabilizes the boat.

i built a 2 story mansion.. i used stone decorated panels as the floor of the top story,( roof of the bottom level.) I then used angled stone blocks to make an arched roof over the top story.. Sometimes the rain seems to pass through the roof onto the floor and then pass through that stone flooring into the rooms below. If it happens again i will try a screen capture I also note that when exploring caves, and its raining, the rain will pass sometimes through the earth and it rains inside the cave. The ship i built has horizontal glass panels forming the roof .. rain passes through them.

Are there vertical panels available ( like the stone window panels ...) and if not, could we have them in stone/wood/bamboo... it would assist with building!

no i didnt know! :-) thanks for that ... Now to do some serious building ...

thanks for that info ...will try if it happens again if i get stuck ...however the falling bit did not see the avatar stuck ... it just "fell" if i moved any direction from the respawn spot. will look at the commands and educate myself ..as they say, if all else fails, then read the instructions :-)

How about more female clothing for female players? ..keeping it family rated. Maybe some cotton skirts and some nicer female tops ..perhaps a swimsuit ..including a bikini ... business dress .. perhaps some casual shoes... or low heels? We do like to look our best when fighting those mutants in the caves Oh..and do those mutants reproduce? i encountered a group of 6 in a cave .. two were co-joined in what appeared to be a natural act...i managed to shoot one .. and then ran out of ammo defending against the others ( got 2 of them, then ran for my life!
