Hi everyone! I was finally able to befriend someone on Ylands (just kidding, it's the first time I try). This new friend and I are not Steam friends, just friends in-game. I want to send this friend my sharegame code, invite him\her to my clan etc... I don't see any way to invite this friend inside Ylands. I can whisper, but it says "user is offline". Does the message still go through? If it does go through, how do I invite this friend to my clan? Thanks! Kittemz

Hi everyone! I need help! Potential spoilers ahead - this is all happening on [OFFICIAL] Explore PA 15. Story first: Been going around for days, trying to find a submarine sphere to fit the key I found in a cave structure. It took me days because my map was resetting every time I left the server... Finally located the downed submarine by pure accident in the middle of absolutely nowhere. It had no locked sphere in it or around it. There was a bamboo chest on top with some sailor stuff. I found coins and a goblet inside. I excavated all around that wreck and there was nothing else to be found. I thought "oh well, there's always the floating structure on the starter yland, maybe the submarine sphere is there". I go back to my yland to prepare. I get back to starter yland and climb to the top of the floating structure. I then build a small cannon to shoot the Tesla Coils down. I shoot 1 cannonball, and realize the cannon is bugged and I cannot reload it. I destroy the cannon and get the material back - but the cannon is still physically there. I make a cannon, shoot the Tesla, destroy the cannon and repeat the process 10 times. The Tesla does not go down, despite registering hits from a dead-close cannon 10 times. I am out of cannonballs so I put on my rubber suit and step into the Tesla. I am miraculously unharmed. There is nothing on the roof with the Tesla Coils and I take the ladder down. I am in an empty room with two Ylandium generators. There is absolutely nothing there. Now the questions (I am more than willing to log in with one or more of you guys and gals, and figure this out): 1) Is there more than 1 submarine wreck on the server? Could it happen? Since the one I found had no sphere. 2) Are cannons bugged for everyone or just me? Could you log unto PA 15 and let me know if it's just the server? Are Tesla Coils supposed to go down to cannonballs? If so, how many shots? 3) Since crafting Guardian Armor, animals can't seem to hit me at all, I can't drown underwater and generally can't take damage. Is a rubber suit (shirt, pants, flippers, breathing mask) known to be invulnerable to Tesla Coils? Is it just me being invulnerable on the server by some kind of bug? 4) I read a lot of reports of finding locked chests inside the floating structure. Has anyone ever encountered a floating structure that had no treasure in it? This was really frustrating, felt like days of work are for absolutely nothing. I don't know if it's bugged or I just fell on the wrong side of the Random Hammer. Can anyone help figuring this out? Thanks!

That's nuts everyone! GG to whoever compiled this god damn list...!

So Explore servers get wiped every week? That is highly discouraging...

Personally, I abandoned all ship building for two reasons: 1) Ships are buggy and ship ladders are worse. 2) Wearing flippers makes you swim faster than any ship. Find or craft some flippers and the ocean world will once again be open to you and your ultra-super swimming speed.

Hello there! Encountered a pretty dismal bug. Almost every time that I leave my house (on OFFICIAL EXPLORE EU 9), when I come back to the barrier zone the server kicks me out with "Host Unreachable" error. I then have to log back in and do it all over again, and next time I will leave the barrier zone and come back the game will probably kick me again. This is super reproducible and I attached the needed logs. Here's to hoping you can fix this without resetting the entire server, deleting a few days' work... Thanks!

Regardless if the barrier is fixed or not, active or not - it will only protect you when you are offline. The barrier does not provide protection when you are online and on the server. I hope that helps.

Would love to see a screenshot of that monstrosity...

I can report the same problem. I have two ships, one with sails and one with a steam engine. Using the ship ladders is out of the question - there is a very high possibility that the ladder will teleport me to the last island i had my legs on, no matter the distance. That is why I only jump on ships instead of using ladders. In addition, walking around on the ship, from bow to stern for instance, will always (100%) result in myself teleporting around the ship and finally into the ocean. Attached my files as well. output_log.txt output_log_clean.txt

Interesting that you say this. Each time I die I respawn with my map and my key chain. If you lose your key chain when you die it's a bug.

Alternatively (or just quicker) - if you right-click most items in your inventory, they will be equipped in your hand. After an item is equipped, it can usually be used in a special manner (food is eaten, knives to use on trees, saws on trees etc.). The equipped item will always show in position "0" - the right most on the hotbar.

Hello again! Encountered a bug I havn't seen before. This occurs on OFFICIAL EXPLORE PA 15. I am trying to craft a Guardian Helmet. It appears in the crafting menu as craftable. I have all the ingredients. When I click to craft I get the "FAILED" message. I tried reloading the game, reloading Steam, loading another Yland and coming back to this one - nothing worked. This same server occasionally blocks me out of the crafting menu. When I click the tab it does not switch, and clicking the "O" hotkey does nothing. When this happens, reloading the server fixes this issue, but the Guardian Helmet remains uncraftable. Attached are my output files and DXDIAG report. Thanks! DxDiag Ylands.txt output_log.txt output_log_clean.txt

Sethix - does your map information save itself when you regularly log off? Seems the map resets itself each time we log off, regardless of death - is this not bugged for you?

This is also relates to official MP games. Every time I leave an official server, my map will be erased.

Seems I also cannot place any kind of chest or create a lab burner. So I am kinda stuck. Any idea when will this hotfix be released? Thanks for the quick reply as usual...

So I spent about 30 hours building a base on an official server. Found a new Yland. Made a 4 large mast ship (purple!). Locked all stations and stone chests with locks. Hid myself inside a stone fortress which was also locked. Went to sleep. 8 hours later, I am dead, my fortress ruined, chests destroyed, ship has all sorts of random build materials sticking out of it. I will never play multiplayer again. I was under the impression that stone cannot be destroyed, but I guess I was super naive. Questions: - Assuming the dude who did this to me did not have explosives, how long would it have taken him to destroy everything (7 stone chests randomly located, stone building made of about 400 stone blocks). - Why can't I destroy my own friggin' stone buildings but other people can? - In a game propelled by creativity and diversity, why is losing all of your stuff even a possibility? - How was he able to destroy two work stations (weaver and spinning wheel)? - And lastly, what does the community recommend for protecting yourself against these bastards? * I know protective fields are coming soon and this should sort the problem out, but I am asking what do you guys and gals recommend without using such protective fields. Discuss. Thanks and I hope you continue to have uninterrupted fun!

That is exactly what happened to me! I saw you in the room and figured you had the same experience. It's my ship's fault, if you wondered... She has a built-in bug in her ladders and when used can teleport yourself and apparently also other people to random locations! I have a similarly bugged ship on another server. Friggin' ladders...! As for Loitering's intricate idea - you seem to think that the protective barrier will effectively leave around much abandoned space, and you are probably correct in that assumption, but an easier way to solve this will be: - Removing all player structures from a server once a player chose to "Remove" the game from his "Continue" list - Removing all player structures from a server after a (long) period of being AFK I don't know if the above is feasible using the current engine, but I believe the method you suggested, albeit it being well thought out, is overly complicated and does not seem to prevent the theft of your precious cargo - but to only rebuild what was destroyed. I did however enjoy your combative approach and I hope you're showing these bastards who's boss!

Ladders have plenty of known bugs... I jump on my ship only, and I live by it. Though yesterday I managed to craft a ship that was bugged so hard she dropped me to the ocean on random sides each time I stepped towards the stern or the bow. A few days later that same ship teleported me from my yland to the starter yland. I decided to leave her where she left itself. She is a purple nightmare, currently floating on the edges of PA 15, and I curse the player who finds her.

Wanna play? Can you access PA region?

I can't tell you I didn't enjoy interaction. Most players out there are really cool if this week's experience is any indication. Helping, fighting for you... Pushing you harder . Strangers can be awesome. But... can you remind me why we need explosives in this creation game? Maybe certain exploration modes should have such shenanigans disabled. Just a thought... When you finally reach locks (I mean, Sulphur seems to be rarer than diamonds sometimes), you think locking something will actually matter...! But nope... Someone friggin' explosive-droned you while you slept around all these sweet locks. And he\she probably found those kegs randomly digging under their spawn point! Just doesn't feel right to achieve them accomplishments only to have it all go to waste. Definitely not intended, one must presume... Or, another suggestion: Am I bitching too much about a difficult and robust survival game through which I failed to properly defend myself?

First game I played was River Raid on the Atari. That is circa 1989 when I was five.

Hello again! I am playing for a long time on Official Explore PA 15, and suddenly noticed a few recipes cannot be seen in the crafting menu even when I have all the ingredients. I am currently unable to locate the recipes for: - Repair Kit - Bear Hide Boots (I died for that brown bear hide!). - Probably more recipes I am not aware of. I definitely have hammer and rope for the repair kits, and I most definitely have a sewing kit, knife and brown bear hide for the boots. I have never crafted repair kits or boots in this session. Attached is the output log files. Please assist! Thanks! output_log.txt output_log_clean.txt

Steam community forums suggest to post here if this bug happens and reloading does not fix the issue - so I did Do you believe the patch next week will fix current games or only new games?

Hi Ane! I tried editing the post but the website kept kicking me in the face for not verifying as a human being. Though I did. Anyway I wanted to add that I tried relaunching the session, the game, Steam, my PC, and I also verified Steam files. I also tried throwing the different ingredients on the ground, putting them in chests, crafting new ones... Nothing worked and the issue still remains.

And now here are the output files from inside \Ylands_Data... Thanks! output_log.txt output_log_clean.txt
