maybe in the meantime give us rideable dolphins we can domesticate ? Thanks for the response.... we will hang in there .... ;0

So i built a ship ... i laid the hull and necessary superstructure to make it work then returned it to near my pier to add enhancements. I placed a bed on the deck ..and it disappeared... oh well whats new? - built more superstructure and added engines and tried to sail ...ship would not move ... saw the bed on the ocean floor ..it was acting like an anchor, welded to the ship. I managed to remove it ... then once again tried to move the ship .. !!!!!! etc .. ship had apparently drifted close to the pier and welded itself to the pier... ( i could tell this because lamps and crystals place on the deck had " moved .." ..actually they had not, the ship had moved! Faced with a dilemma. either deconstruct the ship and start again ..or remove the pier..and see if that works . I tried... the ship was in construction mode but i cannot deconstruct it , or the pier it is "attached" to ...using either a hammer, demo hammer or annihilator.. I managed to use a hammer to remove all the superstructure, including ladders but the aft and the hull will not yield.... Every time i struck the aft section with a hammer to "deconstruct ' it ..it stays there and adds wood and nails to my inventory! ..and i run out of inventory space. I gave up ... logged out in frustration and have included the logs etc hoping you cry over them as much as i did! output_log.txt output_log_clean.txt

Given up on ships. I tried again, keeping it simple ,,, basic hull fore aft 5 engines helm anchor some lanterns and a small covered area with sleeping and seating facilities. Released anchor, and ship moved with the waves , so did everything else on the ship ...looked promising. lowered anchor then went to helm and E to assemble ship .... bang bang etc and all looked ok . released anchor and took helm ship moved and half the engines, lanterns and the covered area blocks went with the ship .. the rest stayed put! Ok so tried E to try and fix things ... and ship parts went everywhere... so then tried to deconstruct it all ...no go ... annihilator or demolition hammer useless .. Again, got a useless hull which will not accept anything to be built on it ... and from the reports in discord i am not alone. I hear even rafts are a disaster... inverting when placed in the water. Didn't bother with logs.. already sent some previously. ...and its the same issue. Sailing?....not worth trying...

first catch your bird .... ..would an eagle feather do ?

Well the new game on the P1 pve server has started and its got something that should weed out the real players from the one-off-ers. You spawn on a platform int the middle of the ocean surrounded by shark infested waters . You do have some basic items such as a map flint lighter, clothing etc. If you really want to play the game, then read the instructions .. rules etc posted nearby and then sit in a chair that's marked with the type of island .. , and you get whisked away to that island to start your adventure. Otherwise you just sit there until the cleaners come through at the end of the day and toss you out with the trash

The genius-ses at P! are deviously thinking of ways to purge spawn of the unwanted abandoned corpses that build up there. The area gets denuded rapidly and often huge structures are built by one off players that lag the area badly. The P1 team always put in some magical chairs that can whisk you away to another island , thus sharing the population load around the grid., but alas most do not use it, preferring to try and build at spawn and getting their building raided/destroyed by griefers. So whats planned? Well discussions are underway on how to persuade people to leave spawn ..and to set up a base somewhere else. Defaulters will be " de-spawned" after a certain period of inactivity. One is to place spawn on an un-hospitable island, with no place to build .. you have to use a magical chair to move to an island that supports life. otherwise you freeze to death ..and despawn. Another proposal being considered is that if you do move to another island, just sitting there counting your freckles will see you despawn if you do not have somewhere with a PB set up to protect yourself. And their are more suggestions being tossed into the hat for consideration. So what does this mean? ....simply read the notices , and get in a chair to go to another island... then asap start a base with your PB active. Else end up removed from the game. If you are one of those that use other players hard work, if you are offline without PB protection, you could end up losing all the stuff you made/stole/borrowed/ and end up in your undies back at spawn .... to start over again. Its going to be interesting to see whats implemented, and what the effects are. For those who are serious players and not in the game to simply "stir" ...it will make the game more enjoyable.

just think of the results of this ....less skin cancers and lunacy! ... but watch out for werewolves and vampires!

return of the /who command to see whose lurking... markers to indicate on spawn whose base is on what island ... starter kit to include a one off key to a chest containing dinghy construction materials so a new arrival can craft a dinghy and explore.... if they opt not to use the "uber" chairs admins to have access to day/night controls ...such as the "gun" ( that was cool!)... maybe additional npc's with stuff to help new starters establish. will probably think of more when brain gets revived with some morning coffee..

Ship construction is a bit of a mystery at the moment... the latest upgrades to ships etc seem to have created issues.... hopefully they can be fixed soon, as the game stagnates if you cannot sail anywhere..

I find the caves awesome... they more realistic and you just do not awaits you around the next corner. As for the terrain, i like it. The variety of shapes of the island shores make for places for interesting builds.?

I noticed a red ostrich running around spawn on the P1 NA sever.... hmmmmm how did that happen? ( snickers and runs and hides....)

I have a ship hull after everything disappeared that i cannot put things on ..or destroy, either by hammer or annihilator ... its a dead object i cannot assemble/build on or move or remove. So i constructed another ship hull ... fitted a fore part and stern, helm and added 6 engines .... and a couple of crystals for lighting ...assembled it and went for a spin... perfect!. took a screenshot .... then selected E to try and add a superstructure...and yup! ..all the add-ons disappeared, leaving just the helm anchor, crystals and engines .... before and after screenshots of ship and logs attached. I also cannot build on it ... all objects are outlined in red and cannot be placed. Now have a ship graveyard blocking my dockyard output_log.txt output_log_clean.txt

Others are reporting this issue in the P1 gaming discord chat .... it appears that once a ship is assembled, if you go back to add extra items and use the E command.... all the added stuff disappears.. .. and you are left with an non-usable ship !

A re-log... re- join ... sacrifice of 15 virgins ( hard to find these days), dancing around a statue waving a shrunken head on a stick and chanting and cursing ....all did not fix it. Guess its best to wait until the Devs do a bug-exorcism

yes...ships sure bugg ( er) ed !!!!!!! I placed a hull... and for ages had difficulty getting it to accept a forepart and aft... finally it worked...so added engines... then built a simple superstructure to act as a cover/cabin at rear of ship. Went for a test run ... ship went superb! no stutter or whatever...and did a circuit of my island..... docked adjacent to my wharf ... but far away not to get stuck on it .... and then selected E to add more to superstructure ..including nav lights. The forepart and aft, and all added superstructure disappeared!!!!!! All i got left with is the base keel helm anchor and engines Looks like sailing is a long way off.... until the next update fix arrives! its not worth wasting time to build ships and have this happen. log file, and whats left of ship in screenshot attached. output_log.txt output_log_clean.txt

lucky it wasn't late next week ;P

Hi delta... if you want a server thats not prone to much griefing and trouble ( we get some but we can deal with it) ...look for red-eagles P1 server..... we have a cool group on the pve na server game ... also there are whizzbang players there who can answer your question and help better than me

the depression was next to the pier where he ship was moved from. The water there is deep... others can vouch for that! whatever it was its not of player use/actions .. unless removing the pier supports had something to do with it. Any estimates as to when water will be " turned back on " ?

for your information... logged in and discovered that the water near my pier where my ship had glitched had also glitched,,, there was a spherical depression! the logs are attached in another thread...inventory weirdness.

hehe ...planking ...hmmmmm anyway work this out! ...someone came to visit ..and although i had moved the ship he could not see it but could see the helm, anchor and anchor chain stuck to the pier where i had moved it from! He Sent me a screenshot, but he was unable to send it to the forums here.. ( technologically challenged ..omg someone worse than me!) Guess its time for me to have another stiff drink and carry on regardless

managed to recover ship hull ... i had to disagreeable nearly all my pier until there was a significant gap between it and the ship By putting dirt in the gap i bounced the ship further away and then was able to deconstruct the pier attached to the ship . I put on a temporary engine and it finally chugged further away and i parked it where there was no chance of welding it to any other land based structure. After a soul fortifying coffee ... will start to rebuild ...but sheeeeesh! what a lot of work..

I re-joined, hoping that like a pimple on my nose, it would disappear overnight. No such luck .... attached are screenshots ... first one is of me waiting to "deconstruct" the aft section... hammer ready. Next screenshot shows my inventory before attempts to deconstruct... subsequent ones show what happens after each deconstruct-blow....note that planks and nails increase .. but the object remains! If only the money in my purse in RL worked like that!

Shrine to the Ylands Devs where we try to appease them with sacrifices of watermelon, magic blossom and trolls.....

Sleep in MP us being disrupted by players who either intentionally or un-informed open the sleep window but never select a wake up option, and leave that window open. ...and possibly go afk . This blocks other players form opening the sleep window ..and stops the sleep cycle Could you please modify the sleep window with perhaps a timer so that if a wake up time is not selected in say 5 seconds.. the window closes? or make it so the window will not remain open if a wake up time is not selected? currently this is a pain and seems to be instigated by a few who like to disrupt.

This is just one of the islands on P! Gaming server..... Whats happening with co-operative building. i will not try to explain what everything is ..but instead invite you to come and look for yourself. There's heaps more on other islands ...plus quests
