well had to end it as only way to get into anything else was windows+r, left it for hours. bet the game is gone. some way of reporting this?

lanterns? lightbulbs? miner's helmet? energy stream thingies? wow lots more to discover, know nothing about these things. i expect glass might be the next thing to make, need it for house anyway. will certainly be going cave mining also

thanks folks, i was tooooo impatient, just needed to dig a bit longer, hadn't realised you sometimes get stone, sometimes stone chunks. was using pick. i have wooden shovel, but i use that for flattening. does a spade do something different?

that's odd, i don't get anything like that. i couldn't work out what to do in the editor either. got a sign up, changed the box were it says text, but how you make that appear outside the editor i have no idea

is there a bug or something? I set up a multiplayer game for my friend and i to play. played for a few hours, quit to main menu and it said it would save progress. The screen is stuck on saying 'saving in progress'. it's been like that for half an hour. Does that mean the game is lost? there's a bug? can i close the game down or is that a bad idea.....

thanks for this, i have now positioned my wooden letters :). Can't see how to put letters on signs in editor. But as I can use the letters it doesn't matter so much. Thanks again, really helpful

how on earth do i make stone chunks? i am sure this must be really easy but for some reason i haven't been able to find a way to make them or mine them, i have ONE so i did it somehow...sometime...but don't seem able to do it again. what tool? dig ground or hillside? tried axe, pick, knife, chisel, hand! haha

Hi, i have multitude of containers, they only hold 9 things. i have so many i never know where anything is! haha! i made a sign thinking maybe i could write on it and label up the baskets and chests, but it seems you can only place them. has someone been able to do this? I also made some wooden letters but i don't get an option to place them, so no idea what they're for.

there is a brazier, this lights area up a bit more, it goes out tho, like everything else seems to, def goes out in the rain

relogged and lo and behold the shovel turned up, must have been some bug! lols, anyway off i go to make my little house

thank you Ane

hey there I want a shovel to flatten land out to build house. I have pole, logs, axe (and that's what i read you need here https://ylands.gamepedia.com/Wooden_Shovel ) but I don't get an option for a wooden shovel. Keeping looking for it thinking i'm missing it but it's not there.....did it get deleted from game or something? Made other tools, axes and so on, no problem. Maybe a bug?

thanks very much folks, I can now place logs :). No idea how you make planks or blocks, but i'll keep playing and work it out. I had no idea about the codex thing, i'll have a better look at that, thanks again

i'd like to edit this post but don't seem able to...not having a good day haha. Forget the bit about needing a wooden beam for the forge. Still don't understand how to take the logs and make a structure though

Hey, new to game today I've worked out how to cut down a tree and get logs, i can't work out how i can use these logs to build a house.....looking online as I see workworker's bench but that's no longer in the game.....confused! And even if it still existed, you'd need a saw, which you make in a forge, which you need a wooden beam for, and to make that you need a saw........ bit frustrated
