    I will also help new people ....as  quite a few here will testify,  but  remain cautious. If you are in the  game and  come across honey chicken.... well   thats me  and i will help , and  am friendly but  warning  i do not  tolerate  fools,  once  bitten  twice  shy     As i said n a previous posts ...look for  discord   groups ...ask around in them  and   soon  you will find out  who to trust and  who you  avoid

    sadly, this happens  so  often  that multiplayer games are dangerous...and i  immediately  kick from my region any  name i  do not recognize before they can move!   kick first! ..its  unfriendly,  but then  99% of  unknowns are coming to plunder and  destroy

    Theres also a group of them  well known to  discord  users ...  their only  aim is to   use pvp wherever possible  and    wreck others  experience in the   game

    Multiplayer is hardly worth it...   unless you get a group of  friends  you know and  trust  and can join in at the  same  time ....  thats difficult  when in certain time  zones.

    [YLD-32158] Logged in... and lost all progress including ship

     

    Loaded my SP exploration game to have boat floating in the air in fog.  The terrain never loaded, then it said I was cold and freezing, and then the terrain loading screen showed.  I reappeared with all my inventory and didn't get a message about dying. I was on an undiscovered island across an unexplored map.  In my previous session, I'd journeyed to a new map and parked my boat on the shore of the first island, and then logged out.

    A forum search found this similar experience - https://ylands.com/community/topic/30607-lost-my-boat-is-there-a-way-to-load-an-older-save-file/

    The only earlier save is prior to the pre-generation of that archipelago.  Of note, the island that I parked near was tropical like my starting islands.  A thick mist rolled in before I logged, but there was no indication that it was going to be cold.  I was wearing bark armor.  I attempted to summon my ship (I was SO happy that was an option) at the new island, but no boat appears....just a disappointing sparkle glow....TA DA...ta didn't.

    Is my save corrupted?  Do I start over?  This was my first playthrough since 2017, so I'm still re-learning the game.  

    Thank you for your time!

    Update: I'm so confused.  There was a previous save from yesterday...called Starting Yland, that was prior to me leaving my initial map.  I decided to try it since my only other earlier save was a MP map I accidentally clicked on before going to my 2nd local map. Launching this Starting Yland save, put me on this new undiscovered island on the new local map with my boat in the water where I'd previously made an unsuccessful attempt to summon it.  Even though the date is showing yesterday 3 saves past, it's putting me in the most recent position.

    This is a known nuance and has been reported before. if you make a dock and moor  ship inside  it  will either  end out to sea when you  re log  ..or  if you have a blocking  barrier..it will sometimes  climb the barrier and  tip over! If you also  happen to  moor in  deep  water close to land, when you re log  your  ship will sometimes try to rezz in over the  land  an  fly off into  the  "you-know-where", and if you are aboard,  you  freeze to death  and  lose  everything ... including the  ship and everything on  it.

    Its  been reported  before  and  documented ... and  frustrating to know  its   still happening.

    A  couple of times this has happened to  me  ,,,,and others  ..and  most likely  they are like me  and playing the game less because of the  frustration of having to continually  restart and losing  progress

    If you want adventure, Ylands  can  provide it :)

    All those screenshots   seem  almost  identical to  my experience...     same island  view ...  maybe a map  issue?

    I found that if  you log out  with your  ship  offshore and in deeper water  its  less likely to happen .....   when it happened to me  i was in deep water but adjacent to steep shoreline..i  surmised that maybe the   ship co-ordinates "drifted"  over land when logged  out and logging in...     since i been careful to  moor further offshore it has not  happened again 

    So a tip ... dont    go  offline with your ship  moored in an inlet  with  shallow  water   either side.   :)

    its happened to me  twice before   and it seems like an old bug  i reported   some time ago ..i got  tossed out of  ship when  logging in ... and we went different  directions. Having to re start   from scratch is  one of the reasons i  rarely  play  Ylands now ,,,   i have been back  since the update,  but if this is still happening ... well...   ?????

    spellung mysteaks...

    Having  items  disappearing from  the  kitchen cabinets  is  perplexing  but i think i found the  cause.   They  never make it there!

    If  you drag items  from your  inventory to the  cabinet  window,  if you are not  accurate  or whatever ... sometimes the  objects   don't  transfer...

    they  "fade out" and  disappear.

    If other  find that happening,  grab your  logs and pester the devs ..,  it seems to be  random  and  mainly on  cabinets  on ships.

    another thing   is   items  disappearing  from containers in ships ...  namely the kitchen  cabinets ..i had  about  6 of them   loaded with  gold    zirc and ylandium ...and   now they are empty. We suspect that after they were paced on the  ship  and went offline  there was a rollback?   because  after  re joining 2  hours later   i found the items  missing as i went to get them  to use to trade. I am guess in that there was a  rollback when offline to a time  before i loaded them on the  ship.     anyway , its  not  real  gold  ;0

    @ktzo ...if  in a mp  game and you see    Honeychicken  blundering around ...or the   asian  biome  BaconHam ... ..drop in and we can comiserate   together. ?

    I took a  shopping break ....  got  some  neat  sales specials  and   shoe  shopping therapy  works  wonders.

    I am making a  back up base on an pvte island to store extra stuff.... in case the  ship goes   bye-bye  again

    We  are discovering   by  trial and error if you log out  on your  ship with it  moored too close to  shoreline , or in an  inlet,  when you log  back in the ship will try to spawn   on the land ...toss you  out  and  fly  off  into the   never never  :)   and you cannot  summons it and lose whats on  board

    bug  or  feature?    :)  not  sure yet   :)

    Players  want  what they want...and  complain if they do not get it. The issue is  not all players want the same and the Devs  have to add and  subtract  to  keep  everyone happy, 

    But as they say,  a  camel is a horse  designed  by a committee, and  as  players   scream  for    Boss monsters,  flying  things,  more  combat,  less combat, whatever etc   we get an uglier  camel!

    But  Camels  are useful  in the proper  environment ... :)  .. they  no good in the arctic  or tropics....... ( and harder to  like  than horses...)

    So perhaps  the players  should  stop pestering the  devs  to add  things that will make  Ylands the  same as all the other  games of this  genre, and let them  follow their   roadmap and  get what's here working properly  first

    To be  honest ...if   the  games changes to require  fighting  monsters and  Boss monsters  to proceed... then  its  just like the plethora of  other   teen/anime  based  kill everything games ... and   people like me   wont be  bothered.

    To  the  devs...    you cannot  please everyone  all the time.   Look at the  original  game  and its initial success...and  work  from there.   :)

    Possible path  of looking for a solution to this  issue:

    Notice that  ships   tend to "drift" from their   mooring position between sessions.    If you moor a ship  close to a pier or  a land  based  dock,  they "drift"  further out to sea   a bit  when you return to the game. Its like there is a limit as to how  close  to the edge of the  ocean  a ship can be to "spawn" in  on log in.

    I was contacted  directly  by another player   who encountered a similar  situation to  mine.   He moored  his  ship  close to the  shore in a  small inlet....  there was a flat beach  alongside.   Upon  re- joining the game, with his  avatar  inside the ship  cabin,  - he experienced   a bouncing  effect  with his  avatar   bouncing in and out of the  ship as it  bounced...   similar to what i experienced.  When  he tried to move  he "fell" through the ships  hull onto the beach  and  saw his  ship   bouncing up and  down over the  flat sandy beach.  He  managed to  unsummon his  ship .....  then    summon it    back into deeper water away form the  shore.

    In my case, i had moored the  ship  adjacent to a sandy  hill ...which was  taller than my ship.

    I  now  suspect  that  my  ship position "drifted" when offline and  tried to  respawn  on top of that hill .... sending it  skywards.  That would explain the  "i am  freezing  " message  and aerial  view of  just clouds. When i  pressed  "w" i fell through the  ships  hull to the  beach ...    possibly  perishing in the  process and  out of  reach of that ship that's possibly   still there ....  " over the rainbow,  way up high!"  :-? and  in  some sort of region limbo

    When i re-join, i  appear on the hillside  near where the  ship was,  and for a  few seconds i get a  ghosted " loading wheel"  briefly.

    So   could  this be   of  assistance as to what's  happening/or  happened here?

    I logged in  ...and  found  myself sitting on the top of  my ship somewhere  "up in the air"  with a  message  'i am freezing". ...so i pressed w  to stand up and   "poof"  ship  disappeared and i was on the shoreline  on the  island i had been on, ... and   no ship. nothing !

    So i pressed  Q  to  summons   ship ...    option was greyed out

    so wonderful!

    Lost all progress ....   lost the  ship ....  and all the  stuff i collected  through   exploration .....     and   rapidly  losing   the  remainder of  my interest  in this  game.

    tried  re logging ...  same  result  . end  up on the shore  with  just my inventory.

    tried everything ....   ie  relogging   ...  no  go.

    logs attached  but  i don't hold  any hope  of that  achieving  anything.

    Am i  angry?

    what do you think?

    I have tried to explore and be social ....   i have arrived at a MP  set of islands   where there  were  2 or  3 active   players ... i  said  hi ...said  i was non pvp and  touring,  not intending to  exploit, mine  or  raid ...and the  response was  an  immediate " ban".

    I guess this is a  knee jerk reaction because of the myriads of  griefing  sickos  that  cause trouble.
