Currently it is planned for sometime after 1.0.

I'm afraid we didn't encounter this issue when testing! We haven't heard from anyone else having this issue either.

Hey there, fellow ylanders! Let’s talk about another exciting feature coming in 0.13! The new and improved terrain generation. We have changed the way the terrain is generated in both the surface and the underground caves – this paves the groundwork for future updates that will allow us to quickly and painlessly generate more unique terrain variations. Let’s take a look at the changes! In the old system, we were able to create nice terrains, but there wasn’t a big diversity after all – all ylands were basically a cone, where the top of the cone was the highest mountain peak and on the surface of the cone random changes were applied, so that it always looked a little bit different. This ultimately resulted in the ylands being a bit repetitive – the mountains were always in the middle, there was never a large flat area, and it was impossible to add some unique terrain features. Another big issue with the old system was that, by breaking the surface of the cone (so that the ylands didn’t look completely the same), the terrain got too fragmented, and animal pathfinding was not able to navigate through there. Some smaller modifications could be made to the old system, but in the end we weren’t able to keep the same visual quality and at the same time add much more variety and make the pathfinding work there, so we decided to make a completely new system. Ylands meets Astroneer? By @Spyler.X! With the new system, each yland is split into several sections and each of those is handled separately, so we can decide in which section there will be mountains, where lowlands, and so on. This way, we can have mountains on the edge of the yland and flat areas in the middle, which was not possible before. Those sections are then connected and blended together, and each section can be completely unique, therefore creating ylands that don’t look so similar to each other. Another big plus is that surfaces are not so fragmented as before and animals will have much less trouble navigating on them. And with changes made to the terrains, vegetation needed to be adjusted as well, so we optimized its spawning in all of the biome areas. This all results in a much better control over the process of how each yland is created. Since 0.13 just lays down the foundation of the new system, we will add much more polish to it and make sure there’s much more variety in the future, but we consider it already a great improvement! And that’s all for now. Have a great weekend and as always - stay classy! And remember that in this post here you can leave your questions for next week

We managed to fix this

And do you remember any item in particular?

They will be translated, it's just that the sound names were sort of placeholders, so it didn't make sense to translate something that wasn't final

The safest/fastest will be: Skip/replace: Depends on which folder has newer data. Optimally you would use replace if the nested folder has newer data. To make it fast, use skip and move the nested folder somewhere else. If you notice that some of the scenarios seem to have older data then they should, replace the files in /Scenarios with the files from the (previously moved) nested folder.

I know, I know

We're not sure what you mean by this - the prices cannot be changed when in inventory or they cannot be changed at all?

Ok, I just need @Indian Chief's in-game name now

I'll move this to suggestions

Sorry, for some reason I overlooked this issue - just added it to the system!

Hey there, fellow ylanders! Today we’ll take a look at two things that Creators will love in the upcoming update 0.13. Even though they have quite sophisticated names, they are actually very easy to describe, and you’ll see that they are very handy. So, without further ado, I give you the Advanced object grouping and Dynamic objects! Advanced object grouping is a fancy name that describes, well… advanced grouping So far you could group objects into simple groups. This was a nice way of putting together objects and then moving them around as one – however, it was obvious that more control was needed. Therefore, we’re coming up with groups that support hierarchies. You can now group objects in a way that they reflect their world relations. Door handle can be child of a door. If you move or rotate the door, the handle will follow. At the same time, you can still easily adjust the handle position relative to the parent door. Here we’re talking about two entities, but you can even make one whole group a child of another group. This very common and useful feature will help you work better even with very complex scenes. Dynamic objects are our way of coming up with a solution to another problem - moving and rotating objects over time. What used to be very time consuming to achieve and had quite a large impact on performance, can now be done easily. You can specify where should an object move with what speed / in what time or do the same for the rotation. You just need to make sure that all objects that are moving are marked as dynamic, and you’re good to go. The best thing about this is that it can be combined with the grouping feature, so you no longer need to move all the object parts - you just move their top-most parent. Also, the new dynamic objects will work correctly when interacting with players, so by marking Groups/entities as "Platform", you will have the option to create moving platforms that will transport players somewhere in a smooth manner. This is just the beginning, though. In the future we will be providing tools that will give you much more control over objects’ position and rotation. And that’s all for now. Have a great weekend and as always - stay classy!

Oops, I guess no one reminded us the winners had been chosen already Sorry about that! Are those in-game names? Chefwarz, ExplosivePizza, Niwaessence? We need the exact names, otherwise we cannot send the coyns.

You need to tell me your in-game names so that we can send you the coyns And congrats to the winners! You've done some impressive stuff.

Hello there! Can you please send us the game save where you're having the issue? Plus the output_log and output_log_clean files, please (you can find them in the directory \Program Files(86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Ylands\Ylands_Data)

Hey Oliver! Can you tell us what the directory tree looks like? Is it something like this? [userdata directory] |-SaveGames |-Scenarios (the top level one) |-|-someOtherFile.yland |-|-... |-|-Scenarios (the nested one) |-|-|-someOtherFile.yland |-|-... |-... When did you notice the nested folders? If the nested folder is removed, does it reappear? As a general advice, moving all files from the nested Scenarios folder to the top level Scenarios folder and deleting the nested Scenarios folder (now empty) will do no harm.

Can you ellaborate?

Anyone else encountered this?

No, linking accounts is no longer an option.

Thank you!

If you haven't changed it before, by changing your in-game name, your Workshop name should be automatically changed

Thanks for the report! We've fixed both issues

Ok, waiting for the video if testers can't reproduce the issue

Can you attach the scenario where you're having this issue, please?
