Hello, It would be very useful to have a tool that could perform the "smoothing" function that the terraformer has, to make some nice slopes for the upcoming cars. The stone slopes look a little too steep and at the moment you can only dig, place or completely flatten the ground. By placing dirt and smoothing it we could create some realistic roads uphill as well Adrie

It saves while playing as well, every few minutes

I've been having a look at spawn Island and I'm very impressed! People have been building as a group, have been playing together to build themselves a nice camp. To all of you who participated, well done!

Just like with sails, will it be the more motors on a ship/car the faster? Will weight come into play as well? And more engines should mean more fuel consumption ofcourse Adrie

Hello guys! Because the server software isn't 100% stable/reliable it's not really rewarding to play Explore on my server at the minute with you guys. Instead I have decided to make a few minigames we can play together to have some fun in Ylands and do some more testing ofcourse! The first event will be a little boat race: EVENT TIME: FRIDAY EVENING, TBA, EXPECT ANYWHERE BETWEEN 19:00 AND 00:00 GMT Aye sailors! Captain Adrie here! Many years ago, a pirate by the name of Mad Jack has stolen my Sea Urchin Trophy! I've been trying to get it back from him but he always managed to escape me. I recently heard from a fellow sailor that Jack has run out of luck and is taking a deeper look at the bottom of the ocean My trophy is in a chest at his old tower, yet he took the key with him to the bottom. That's where you young sailors come in! Sail to his shipwreck, make a quick dive, get the key, sail back and open the chest for me. Also, my friend told me something about a curse but it can't be all that bad eh? Now why would you do this for me? I've heard Mad Jack was a very fortunate man after stealing and plundering for so many years! I'm only after my trophy, the rest is yours to keep I've supplied a few boats, all numbered from 1 to 10. Be sure to pick your lucky number, you are gonna need it! Ah, his old tower with the chest. My trophy must be in there! I'm sure experienced sailors like you will find the way! Now be quick and get me what belongs to me, your reward shall be great! Some practical info: 1) All players should grab a boat and move to the starting line. 2) When I shoot my pistol, the bars will disappear and the race has started! 3) Navigate yourself to the shipwreck, it's marked by an arrow sign. 4) Jump off your boat, dive into the water, grab a key and get back to your boat! Not someone elses boat ofcourse! 5) Sail back to the island, beach your boat on the tiny island 6) First player to unlock the chest wins! After we have a winner I will restart the server and we can do it again If this concept works I will create more races, maybe different themes or just boat racing in general. Because the server usually lasts at least 30 minutes before crashing we should have no problem and a lot of fun! I might make at least one other minigame we can play to vary a bit, but that will probably be PVP. I'm working on some sort of CTF game, keep your eyes on this thread! Adrie

Hey guys! Unfortunately I have to postpone the event, as the gamemode I have made won't show up in the serverbrowser at all unfortunately Adrie

Sweet, was gonna ask for implementation of water vs fire but good to see it's there! Also, when going against the wind I think you would rather lower your sails instead of raise them

Cheers for the work again! Any ETA on the fixes for multiplayer with the dedicated servers freezing? Adrie

My brand new top spec server suffers from the same problem as well, at the moment it's running between 50 and 80% CPU on the monitor and less than 10% on Ylands. The logs for the other bug are from the server so they should contain the same error, see bottom of this post. Also I start to notice that the same bugs keep getting reported all the time, partly due to bugs being described different, topic titles not explaining what's going on etc., which is a shame since there are definitely some bugs out there that are limiting playability and should be top priority. Maybe we could have a bug tracker like on Dayz? Adrie

Is there a complete item ID list somewhere? I stumbled on some items which I couldn't find in the creator cube list, and since they got your faces on them I thought you could shed a light on where to find them? Adrie

Maybe have some kind of fishing nets we can attach to our boats?

That's a very legit idea, gonna check how much data that's gonna use Adrie

If I would have the skills to monitor a server during my job I'd get a raise And I'm thinking that by making it over webbrowser it might actually be alright, normal RD doesn't work indeed. Adrie

This happens quite often at the moment, it has been reported on the forums Better not invest too much time in building big things on your servers but instead have some fun "minigames" instead like pvp fights/boatraces? Adrie

Restarted again! If anyone has any experience with installing remote desktop over webbrowser that would be useful, then I could fix the server from work during my breaks Adrie

It's the end result that counts ofcourse! Will there be different "tiers" of engines and/or different fuel types? Ylandium, coal, some sort of high tier refined fuel, multiple power engines with different sizes and fuel consumptions? And will there be multiple size chassis' like we have with boats? I'm excited to find out! Adrie

Oh yes, I've played some of the nice mods for Arma 2 and 3 I have a feeling however that for Ylands to be more accessible it should be easy for players to just hop on a server and enjoy themselves without having to download loads of mods before they can join. I guess you also know those times where you just want to run too much (incompatible) mods and try to get it all to work

If you need to dig up dirt you should use the spade, and if you want to do some precise "modeling" you should use an axe

In that case: What about having the possibility of attaching trailers to our cars? Also would be nice to be able to put the engines on our boats Trading off the use of fuel for a faster, independent of wind kind of sailing.

Our latest server save got corrupted in a new way, it won't load in the server I've tried to send the save to my own PC but I can't even open it in single player either. The server froze like it does all the time, yet it won't load this map anymore. Making a new map or loading another map works. Adrie ADRIE'S_SERVER!_24_7,_ACTIVE_ADMIN,_SEE_FORUMTOPIC.rar output_log MONITOR.txt output_log SERVER.txt

All looking good! I'm currently building a car ferry, will it be possible to have cars drive onto boats and off them again? Adrie

It's back up again! I've ordered the new server. Had to get a different host because the one where I wanted to order couldn't get what I wanted. Serverspecs now: i7 4770, 3,4ghz 32GB of ram, 240GB SSD. This should definitely be good enough for now I've just done some quick testing and there is no more lag when picking stuff up, it all goes instantly. Will keep an eye out on stability, if it crashes please send me a message in the discord, on the forums or add wijkagentadrie on Steam! Adrie

Big thumbs up for this, it's really helpful for all the new players out there!

I isually hit them with a wooden axe for about 5 minutes

The same thing has happened to me in a singleplayer game. I haven't got the safe anymore and I don't know if it's related.
