How they got in doesnt matter really... its known glitches awaiting fixes for ages but how did the dynamite make that crater... from inside a barrier? thats the intrigue...

there was a ceiling, a stone lined room above ...and then earth ... so it cldnt have been dropped ...maybe using v and place? even so, it shouldn't leave a crater like that . note ; it did not destroy the surrounding items and chests... just made a crate under the bed
maybe they might have glitched in onto the bed ...placed the explosives' then unstuck out before it went off? that sounds a possibility. But how through the walls and ceiling? could be a variant of the sleeping mat exploit..

barrier was on .
Got reports from other players that 2 guys were travelling through the islands "blowing up" bases
Maybe they have a hack or exploit? Don't say that they do not exist in Ylands ;0 Ylands is no different or immune to exploits as all other games.
i also tried to ignited a powder keg in my own barrier ...it just didnt work. Its really baffling how it was done..
maybe it might have been form a cannonball fired forma ship? ..but how did it hit inside...and why was the terrain inside a turned on barrier cratered?
Nothing surprises me now ;0

a screenshot of the damage ....

I accidentally left my mp region on line with the password turned off and yes,,, some infantile griefer tried to destroy my base. They did no come to steal, but destroy and somehow managed to get a ignited powder keg inside my locked work area.
The resultant explosion did not destroy anything, however it left a crater in the floor inside the building.
No big deal to repair, but i wonder... shouldn't the Barrier not allow terrain deformation like that? it wont let you dig,,,
guess its another feature :0

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

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.

got a timeout disconnect error message after 45 mins of play ..logs attached

Connection lost when assembling a ship.
I am on the new P1 Aus based explore server... twice, when assembling a ship ( press Q ) the game seems to hang .. you get the assembly sound effect ... then the game crashes with a message " connection lost" or "game terminated by host"
Has happened twice so far...
Logs ...for your ok lumberjacks .. attached

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.

Note: i am not advocating that unreal engine would be better ... i am no expert in this field. The Ylands devs would need to assess what to use, but its becoming obvious the current one is having difficulties meeting ylands expectations.
The other game was referring to had just one dev ... and was still technically in early access, so a stop and re think was possible . Changing a working engine mid stream would not be possible overnight
..
All we can do is wait and see what happens... its their choice

For information... another game i was looking into had a similar series of errors.. they stopped development for nearly a year while they re-wrote the entire game for another engine ( unreal engine)
They posted that their initial testing indicates a lot will be fixed and their mp version runs way better. Maybe Ylands might have to stop with the goodies and new stuff, bite the bullet and look for an alternative engine that supports their game..

The problems listed here are identical to the ones encountered on the P1 Servers ... so its not just the P1 community thats affected . Hopefully BI can use this accumulated knowledge to resuscitate Ylands exploration

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.

Mutant apocalypse? planned or coincidence?
in General Discussion

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!
