Ane

Your house is coming along really nicely! <3 Looking forward to seeing where you get with the boat!

Sorry about this! Please try running the game as administrator (right click on the Ylands desktop icon) and send us these two log files - YlandsLauncher.log and YlandsLauncher-previous.log (they can be found at C:\Users\<your_username>\AppData\Local\YlandsLauncher). We'll take a look at them the minute you send them to us. Do you have Avast installed, by any chance? Thank you!

That would be awesome! Those coloured paddles look pretty cool. I'll suggest it to the team

Heyo! For now it's only possible to play in Multiplayer ylands of size 1 (so no Explore mode). In the following weeks/months we'll be focusing on the MP aspect of the game more, so this will change, but I can't really give you any specific date right now!

Ahh, you outsmarted the game! Were you able to craft the boat, though?

Glad to hear that! Yes, just post it here or send me a private message, whatever you prefer

Right now the Explore scenario cannot be played in Multiplayer - for the moment there is a restriction that only allows you to play in Multiplayer the ylands of size 1 (and the Explore scenario is bigger than that). But we definitely want to change this in the future!

Is this happening only when you choose the Stranger role or does it happen with any role you choose? If it's the first, we are aware of the issue and has already been addressed

Hi there! You are not doing anything wrong, this is a known issue Do you have the latest version of the game installed? That should be 0.18.25728 (you can see this in the right corner in the launcher). In the meantime, could you please send us the output_log file? It should be in "C:\Program Files\Ylands\Game\Ylands_Data" Thank you!

We'll take a look at your files too, Tulpana Thank you for your patience! And sorry about this.

Thanks so much for the great feedback to both of you! These are the kind of comments that help us improve Fortunately the things you mention that need some love are things that are already in our "guys, we need to do something about this" list. We definitely want to make the way you progress in the crafting system more accessible and easier to grasp, as it's not very clear what and how you can craft right now (if you take a look at the amount of items available in the Creative mode, you can get an idea of how many items could be actually crafted). And welcome to the castaway ylanders family, Sjors Hamel! Looking forward to seeing your next creations In the future we want players to be able to import their own assets to the game and share them with other ylanders, so that's where you could excel!

Hi ajax420! I'm not sure what you mean - you can't see any buttons in the launcher? Can you send us a screenshot of the issue? Have you tried running the game as administrator? Please send us these 2 files so that we can see why the game is crashing for you: YlandsLauncher.log and YlandsLauncher-previous.log. They should be at C:\Users\<your_username>\AppData\Local\YlandsLauncher. Sorry about this! We'll look at the files as soon as you send them to us.

Ouch! That sounds like one nasty bug, Junjie, sorry about that! Would you be so kind of sending us your output_log file? It should be in "C:\Program Files\Ylands\Game\Ylands_Data". I hope you're enjoying the game nonetheless!

Hello Gagabou! There are 2 files I need to ask from you - YlandsLauncher.log and YlandsLauncher-previous.log. These are located at C:\Users\<your_username>\AppData\Local\YlandsLauncher. Could you also try running the game as administrator? Thanks for your patience!

Hi RomanRichter! So sorry to hear that! At C:\Users\<your_username>\AppData\Local\YlandsLauncher there are two log files - YlandsLauncher.log and YlandsLauncher-previous.log Would you be so kind to attach these 2 files so that we can see where the issue is?

Hi starwarss! Thanks for spotting the mistake! It has already been fixed No worries, whoever orders the t-shirt will be blessed with the beauty of Ylands

Ship ahoy! How nice of Mr. Inuit to come pay us a visit from the cold arctic regions in this tropical yland of ours in his newly built boat! I bet he's coming to gather some more bamboo for that hut I see he's building. Hmm, now that I think about it, we're running low on ice blocks, I might have to ask him to take me back to his yland with him in his boat...

Oh, you don't wanna know, believe me! You're sticking your nose into some dangerous places! (too bad I didn't take pictures of how it looked back then)

If you think now is creepy, you should have seen the first version of those rooms

Don't forget to share your thoughts with us when you play it

Hello! I've sent you both a PM

That's a great idea! I actually have a favorite character myself This is totally doable. We still have a little bit of time until we release the 0.17 update, so we'll make sure to have this ready for the update too. Thank you for the suggestion, Michal, and long live Miguel Preguisa!

How is it going, ylanders? First of all, we wanted to let you know that although the 0.17 update is taking a bit longer than what we planned to, it will certainly be out sometime during next week. In addition to the Editor changes and the Yland 17, in the end we have decided to include the enhanced version of the tutorial in the 0.17 update as well. For this we will be making use of the new hints system, that was implemented in the 0.16 update. And the icing on the cake - Khan, one of our designers, created a new level by putting into use some of the new Editor features. But I won't give you any details about this one, you'll have to see it with your own eyes With the 0.17 update being this close to be released, most of the team is already focused on the following update. We don't want to spoil all the details for now, so we'll just leave you with a small teaser (and please bear in mind that it's just the first iteration): But it wouldn't make much sense to travel by boat when having just one yland, right? And that should be all for now - talk to you soon! Ane

Hi Baobun! The installation shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes, could you try restarting the whole progress again (as in downloading the setup again, you can do this from the main page at www.ylands.com)? Let us know if that does the trick. Would you mind telling me where in the world you are located? Also, could you attach the following log files? YlandsLauncher.log and YlandsLauncher-previous.log. You can find these at the following location: C:\Users\<your_username>\AppData\Local\YlandsLauncher Thank you!
