Be afraid
The Y.S. Battlechook is now on the high seas of the P1 server. Although i do not expect to encounter any trouble whilst exploring....note the forward mounted cannon and two side facing defensive cannons.
Hopefully i will never have to use them ...
Its powered by 6 Ylandium engines ..very fast and has heaps of storage and other facilities inside.
Friendly P1 gaming explorers welcome ..

How about the option of making flags that have custom made symbols ... ?ie cats, alligators , lightning bolts ... etc ..
Craft able with a pole and cloth and maybe the options available through the dyeing station to add images?
just a thought ...would make a nice touch to have a ship fluttering personalized flags ..then others would know who owns the ship ...and hmmmm................. discourage thieves? :0

I also encountered an alpha brute bear while i was building my ship ... yes a tier 1 island... i managed to swim to the ship and get aboard and used my entire crossbow store in disposing the blighter.
i guess i can say now i swam to safety with a "bear" ( bare
) behind ...

Well well ...another night and about 6 golems and 30 mutant leopards tried to overrun my base .. they were appearing around the edges of my barrier and definitely trying to get in .... check out the screenshots...the piles of ylandium and crystal tell the story.
need to craft more ammo in a hurry!

On My 1.5 exploration multiplayer "chickenland" i had established a base and armed myself, and whist crafting in my hobbit hole, i heard mutants making threatening noises outside. With caution i emerged to find my base being encircled by 6 mutant golems !! They appeared to be searching for me . After i disposed of two, i was finding about 15 mutant leopards roaming inside my barrier...i suffered a few hits but managed to find a place from where to defend.
The battle lasted a whole "night" and after exhausting my supply of bullets, the tree trunks were littered with crossbow bolts that missed their mark, and the hillside and surrounding area was glowing green with piles of Ylandium dust and crystals.
I survived ...
Either my base was near a spawn point , or they came out looking for me ...their behavior suggested the latter.
Anyway . it was a "fun" night . I think it was just coincidence but really devs, this could be a interesting game addition....if after so many days and the caves not cleared ... the mutants emerge one night for an apocalyptic revenge ...
Sure made my exploration game more interesting
..meanwhile i need to craft ( lots) more ammo and beef up my defense walls ...
And for the record ... two of us managed to cross the seas of exploration and meet
.. the game is lookig up ..

Very promising
lands is now struggling out of the quicksand ..and if 1.6 delivers then faith will be wholly restored

More like driving a long distance with your mother--in-law as a passenger who has failed multiple driving tests but insists she tell you how to drive ...non stop!

masochisitic me tried again ... i deleted progress under settings etc ... started again ..but no barrier oh well
all seems ok i re built up some weapons and clothing ... sailed and visited 2 islands , built a temp shelter and logged out for dinner . came back and all worked including feeding.
Had to go to rl for 20 mins .. so made another shelter on another island ..put down a bed again ...logged out.
Came back 30 mins later at correct place ... but unable to feed .
tried diff foods ... diff places - logged out and back and whatever ...still unable to feed .
Game is useless as it is ..
will it be fixed before xmas?
hopefully yes but from past experience ... i doubt it.
Game still broken ...ohh its got new stuff,, look see ... but whats the use if its basically broken?
logs not provided as i am tired of sending them in ... spent more time sending logs than playing the game

i encountered it intermittently ... on one game i couldnt ...joined another with a friend and i could and he couldnt ... he's game is now offline so went back to the first game where i could eat and now i cannot
And no MP reraly ...
Sorry guys this half baked approach is not working.
The hype was nice but i am giving up being a game tester ... maybe in 1.6 . IKF it ever arrives , and then possibly 1.7 1.8 1.9 1.n tot eh n-1
I am getting disappointed with ylands. Its BROKEN and i am not the only voice crying in the wilderness.

Some of us have stuck with Ylands, because we had hope . We spent hours and hours struggling with the bugs ...and sending in logs etc for the benefit of the game. In one instance i spent two whole days trying to play the game and sending in bug reports every time the game crashed after 20 minutes ... thats a lot of logs and waiting to get back in! connection time outs ... disappearing objects and work stations ..or simply " shut down for no apparent reason" wit a restart and 20 minutes lost work.
But i am not alone .. others were doing it too , but unfortunately a lot just either did not have the time and patience and simply gave up ...especially as there was little to no feedback from BI.
The P1 community has given feedback ....lots if it .. but has anyone at BI noticed? Whats frustrating is to send in reports and they disappear down a black hole somewhere. ... no feed back was obvious and disheartening. Thankfully Adam has responded to correct that recently, but there was a time when there was "the great silence" and players deserted en masse.
These bugs being mentioned now are in the basic game . There's an exploit that was ruining the game that we reported to Ane ( remember her? that was looooong ago ...) ...yet i still see that exploit today despite a comment it was fixed. If you don't know what this exploits is, then that proves a point . No one paid any attention to the players then...and it might be too late now.
As it is the game dies from bugs as it progresses. You start to move out to explore, but all these glitches start to multiply .. and the only fix is to wipe and restart. But these days all the maps re the same, so it ends up like groundhog day.
I am currently marking time to see what 1.5 achieves. I still have some hope. Patience is wearing thin, though.

What i am afraid of is history repeating... we get this 'updater" just before a major holiday period ..it will bring in lots of new shiny stuff with possible inherent bugs .... fix very little of whats broken and we players will act as game testers struggling with bugs and drop outs server issues and whatever ... and there will be no one at Bi able to help as they will be on holidays. In Jan we will get the promise of a 'hotfix" ... which eventually emerges just before the Easter holidays
... and then .... go back and read this post from the start .. and replace Easter with Christmas 2021..
I am still wondering who is now running this game ... i suspect tencent, and if so ,,,, well time to move elsewhere...

Two of my family members on forums for other sites/games have run strangely, into someone who does the same as here, word for word. impersonating mods, switching names pretending to be someone else.
Whats so stranger is phrasing, modus operandi is identical. in fact you could say they are the same person. One board has that player ( and several alts) on permanent troll ban.
Now , i am not accusing this person being the same as that one, But as a warning... Forum mods can see more than what on the surface, and playing games with forum members etc is not a clever idea. You soon end up talking to yourself.

New day new game clean map ...new start ..
1 hour in ... disconnected due to timeout?
Screen froze on that message ..had to re boot system to get out.
Tried to rejoin.... game hung on rejoin .... couldn't get into even the lobby.
(sighs loudly ... ) i am better of wasting my time doing something...anything else..
logs? couldn't get back into game ..that eternal slow moving wheel thingamy gets annoying.
-
Adam --- after 30 sept the messages became time out messages.
-
Oh well ,.... todays omen spells bad
Decided to see how the game was performing....
Logged in form lobby ...ummm well tried to
20 minutes in a queue behind 1 other player ahead of me ...waited and waited ...couldnt go forward....couldnt get back ..
So only action possible ... task manager .. close client .
No log available as i couldn't get in.
Looks like its best to wait (?) for 1.5 and see if its more than just words.
My hope is fading fast.

according to lobby 5 on line in game but i was unable to connect ... tried again at 9:05... lobby count went to 0 obviously they had been kicked as well. After watching the hypnotic hamster wheel s-l-o-w-l-y rotate got in at 9:15 my time
nearly all the work i had done earlier had been lost.
Inventory duplicated. constant lag spikes as others tried to get back in.
Will try to get to back to where i was ...hoping for not another 'connection time out"
wish me luck ..i will obviously need it.

Another day ...... stared log in 8:30 my time ... got into game at 8:35 ... managed to rebuild 50% of what was lost yesterday .... 8:55 connection time out
Tried to rejoin at 9:00 so far 4 "unable to connect' messages"
Wonder how much will be lost this time when/if i can rejoin?
-
get back in at 4:25 .. double inventory and from the previous 1 hour in game ...lost 30 mins work
wouldn't that rot your socks?
cannot take any more today ..off to look at yt vids of funny cats and car crashes
-
managed to log back in at 3:15 .. lost 10 mins work ... inventory doubled up again... tossed out 4:15 with connection time out message
-
and 1 hour later... 2:40 my time..... connection time out ... and each time we lose about 5 mins work ( sometimes a lot more! ) and our inventory goes bonkers ..everything duplicate
-
well well well ..( not 3 holes in the ground) ..logged in and started to rebuild what was lost yesterday.. and was chatting happily about how i now caught up ... was told not to speak to soon
Sure enough 5 mins later ... kicked out because of a time out ... everyone else landed on the Butts too
for your amusement ...
If i have lost all my rebuild i will craft a prop pack ...fly over to your place and toss bananas at you!
-
got back i to game 15:20 everyone had been kicked out.
found all my work for the last hour ..an intricate spiral staircase ... gone!
Half inventory was double and half of the items gone.
Had enough for the day..
getting close to having had enough of the game
too tired hungry and angry to send logs
-
Took a break while thunderstorms were circling... logged in at 16:15 all went well despite 5 second game freezes every 20 to 30 secs ...got used to it ..
15:15 got tossed out ..along with everyone else ... "connection time out thingamy".
When returning ... inventory items doubled ..
More logs to frame on your wall
-
I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaack
Connection time out message kicked us all out apparently ... was having the " disappearing items when placed" glitch ... a quick rejoin would result in the item appearing where it was placed... happened for the third time and was rejoining ... got to the ocean building message then all went kaboom and the time out message taunted me ... so here's something more for you ..
a pre yuletide set of logs !
your home base is not yours!

I Joined the game in a tropical area selected an island , named it, pw protected it and set up a base from which to explore. I made it Mp visible and some friends even visited. I built up stores of resources and was about to expand it after i went to a spawn area to help re-populate it after the usual noob rush and denuding era.
Much to my horror as i left my base i got a "timed out connection" error and was dumped out to the game lobby.
When i logged back in i was treated as a new player! nothing ...no base, no anything, and the option to start again ..without a barrier etc.
All the islands in the map had a ? ... it was a total reset. Players said my boat had disappeared from the island i was on.
Eventually a friend invited me to a game on another server and i arrived there, boat complete and with stores etc ...
BUT :::::::: no matter how far i travel or search, i can find neighboring islands i visited around where mine should be but not mine.
So, if you have a base on a Bi server, dont expect it to last! if griefers do not destroy it , then it will disappear on you regardless , it seems.
Suggestion: build a big ship ..... put all your goods workstations etc on it, for at least you will have ( might have? ) something when your island goes missing.
MEANWHILE 3 DAYS OF EXPLORATION AND BUILDING ALL GONE!
good luck!
