    Where to find iron?

    frustrating, isn't it? What will happen is someone else will find it and block others from mining it. Hopefully they will revise their thinking and take issues like this into consideration to save the game.
  2. I did not take a screenshot, because all you would see is an invisible horse I found a nice bay steed, fed it corn, tamed it and christened it " snot rocket" ..maybe it didn't like the name because back at base, after dismounting i went to offer it some corn ..and it was nowhere to be seen I looked under the carpets, behind the chairs ... and used freecamera to look under the building...no luck! Then a passing player was asked if they could see the horse... and had no problem ... game me its name and health status and it was apparently right next to me. fortunately the output logs were not invisible and they are given to you to peruse with invisible glasses output_log_clean.txt output_log.txt

    Daily Screenshot Thread

    the horses can be a problem ... in game they follow and get between you and what you are doing ..and you try to click on a workstation and end up on the horse! Also we were preparing to shoot a mutant roaming around at night ..and every time i got the crossbow aimed at it, a ***** horse would walk in front and try to kiss me They also try an follow you into your house...its like that godfather scene, except when you wake up in bed its an entire horse, not just the head.!!!!..

    How to get Ylands 1.0 beta

    Okay ... so if we opt NOT to download the beta, when it goes to 1.0 release, do we still get the explore free, or have to buy it? I am not interested in the Pvp, mobile apps , kids stuff hand held mindless games ...monetization or whatever... just the explore that the game had and which was fun ......... and you played with friends. Not touching the beta ....I am going to wait until 1.0 is released and if i cannot get explore as promised , then bye bye..

    Dev Diary #105

    so i gather we are being asked to try something that they know doesn't work to replace something we know doesn't work ? If this is not the case, well either i am not reading what you are saying correctly. or what you are saying is not explained correctly.. I think its time to forget Ylands until after the working 1.0 version is released, and the reviews say its working and worth playing. No idea when that's going to happen, and i suspect BI is dangling promises to cover delays until they work out how to fix things. What should have been done? ..........Fix the old before cluttering it up with untested new shiny stuff. I so long for the original days when we would pay on nearly full servers with friends... now, its just un-occupied wastelands... with a game changing to be for kids sitting around with i phones. So sad. No more posts etc from me ........ i am tired of being a guinea pig testing a product that should have been tested and made sure it worked before release.
  11. If the update doesnt fix things and solve the current issues, Ylands is dead in the water regardless of all the new whizzbang promises being touted. Every day i go to log in and the game is offline..it has to be restarted. Apparently they did a complete server clean up and dumped gazillions of old files... that was a day ago and the game was again offline today. Again the server logs apparently showed the game was cluttered with old files etc. If they have to wipe and restart every map after 3 to 5 days, then you can see why people are not coming back !!! .You log in..its a new map .. you start to build ... have to attend to real life for a day ... try to log in but the games fallen over... and when you do get back it had to be a new map ..and you start all over again gathering rocks grass and flint etc. to craft.. You are often the only one on the server after 3 days...others have lost interest. Repeat 4 times in 3 weeks and you see why players do not stay. The game has to be fixed to make it contain interest as it progresses... remain playable, and last more than a handful of days. We live in hope .
  12. Where are the brave explorers? Currently spawn is littered with "wussies" who arrive, and after finding there is nothing they can steal, properties are locked, and they have to actually craft things to survive ... they give up ...never to return!!! Come on players, this is a survival /craft / create game. Its not Donkey Kong or some other mindless shoot em up or kill the monsters and such game ...its a combination of using crafts, survival techniques, creative skills and social interaction. You dont get things handed to you ... you have to learn and earn But it seems the MP servers get infested with those who want it too easy .. they are not prepared to be adventurous, or learn crafts or explore... or interact with others These wussies just want the easy way ... steal what they need , and when that fails ... destroy what they can ...and then rather than create, they go offline..never to return My base gets overcrowded with these interlopers who arrive ... they might craft a helmet... but that's all ... then they sit around cluttering up places where i could build or create something. I have lost patience ..i now build out on a platform over the water..if someone goes offline for over 24 hours on my base, i deconstruct the floor under them ...dump them in the water ... then cover up the opening. I got a real graveyard under my place ? But still i ask ..wheres the adventurers? On the current game i have sailed around the spawn a island and found islands untouched .. It seems a lot of people are too lazy to build ships, craft, explore... thinking is too hard for them☹️
  13. currently, anyone can klll any animal ..if they have a weapon. Whats getting annoying is to find ones tamed horse missing...and a roll of leather left in the yard it was pastured in. Obviously some kiddies think this is funny ... and i can see it getting worse with the talk of domesticated animals etc. Can it be made so that horses and domesticated animals inside a PB area cannot be killed by other than the owner?
  14. Severe rubber banding ... avatar wont move just spins and bounces ... so click in esc...menu...and then back to the game suddenly an avatar ...or ship that was invisible before now appears nearby , and rubber banding stops .... so ok, move along and boing! happens again... same procedure ..same result. Makes game unplayable i include 4 screenshots ... in the first i started rubber banding near a house... after going to menu and returning ..and avatar appears sitting offline on top of the building ...and rubber banding stops ..see screenshot no 2 i head back home and suddenly rubber band again ..see screenshot 3 .. there should be a ship at the dock but its invisible ! Go to menu , and back ,, wait a second theres a "whump" sound and ship appears ...refer screenshot 4 This was happening all around the island ..invisible ships and avatars causing rubber banding until they re appeared after the esc..menu,,ret action. The game became unplayable. output logs also attached ..also reported in game output_log_clean.txt output_log.txt
  15. counted 42 abandoned avatars on NA P1 spawn ...no wonder there is lag.! All these bodies are only the ones i could see .. theres more in underground rabbit holes... Of course they were i all in starter gear or wearing a helmet ...no PB set up ... and most had not moved in the last 48 hours. what is needed in game is a "clean up" facility where an avatar without a PB set up will de spawn ...but can be respawned at the spawn pint should they ever return This can be scripted into the game , but would be better as part of the default game. It would force new arriving players at least to craft a hammer and iron ingot and repair their barrier ..otherwise they "cease to exist" after a 24 hour logout. I did not count those who had a base and set up their barrier... there were at last 8 on spawn in that situation ...so theres 50 bodies on the island who have not moved in 48 hours
  16. a server restart fixed the issue...it might be linked to the piles of offline abandoned avatars clogging up the server ..and memory....affecting loading. Theres a lot of bodies on spawn!
  17. Its not new ...it was reported after the "in use" bug was fixed. refer YLD-18640 September 7, with more screenshots.
  18. i have not made any new blueprints for a while ..but here are (finally) are 2 screenshots of a structure i tried to place on the ground.... its hovering above ground and any attempt to lower it gets the red outline warning. in the 2nd pic i placed a block so you can see how much offset is happening I can try a new blueprint tomorrow ... its late here at the moment/
  19. not made recently... so that could be the issue? not made in editor.
  20. its still happening ..will upload a verifying screenshot when i work out the new s team procedure you cannot place the structure at ground level ..its about a quarter of a tile above ground..
  21. Nope! my created blueprints have this problem. all the ones i have created just either hover half a block above any base created in game. i reported this earlier and submitted screenshots.
  22. Also the two mountain tops either side of base have become "phantom" near the summit and avatars fall through the earth to death . You can also fly through them wearing a prop pack. Reported in game. Also encountered twice the unable to dig / lace objects / craft bug ... thats been reported in game too also by others.

    Horses

    Horses update ...success but needs refining! got horse on to ship and traveled well .. at destination managed to build a ramp to unload...reload. Went for a tour and came back to see no horse on ship! i hunted for it ..not luck ..returned to ship and saw its name ..it was invisible! i mounted it and it re appeared. It seems horses can walk backwards through things hmmmm pics attached .. the first is the bow of the ss Nagalot ...you can see why ships are referred to as "she" also a pic of the invisible horse .. so it seems to work but needs tweaking ;0 3rd last pic is of invisible horse...next pic isd it appearing...like magic ...last pic shows horses can move in reverse through walls ...
