    Yep! If you are playing in creative mode you can use the annihilator (BUT DONT ACCIDENTALLY DESTROY THE BOAT HULL!!!) to remove the ship helm, the ladders and the anchor lever. To operate your ship you do need at least a helm, I'm not 100% sure about if you need a lever as well. If you want to move them in survival I would use a potato grenade as this does very little damage to the boat hull. Be careful that you can't repair the hull and when it has 100% damage it will sink.

    I want to join but there appears to be no place to place the PW..... I get to the recalling building notification and it gets to 100 percent but then I just sit there.... Im sure Im missing something..... any help?

    Ok now that I have read the post there is no PW... however I still cant get into the server.

    Heya! The server currently crashed due to a known bug. Also, this weekend I will be massively upgrading the server from a 2,4ghz shared CPU vps with 12GB of ram to a fully private dedicated box with our own 4ghz quad core with 32GB of ram. Expect some MAJOR performance increase! I will as always keep you people up to date on when it's ready :)

    Hello , maybe an option to increase  the rendering distance ? We have to be pretty close to island to be abble to see them. 

    Devs already spoke about this in another topic, maybe some low LOD version would work :) also it looks silly when half the island isn't rendered.

    The more masts you place the more speed you can get ;)

    As soon as MP servers are stable I wanna do some testing on this with someone else in creative mode, whether there is any cap and whether the mast types differ as well. Also if placement matters. Or could a dev shed a light at how this works?

    I'll add one to it: for some reason my servermonitor is using 50+% CPU whereas the actual server stays around 25% which looks weird, seeing how less the server monitor does.

    Also server performance is really low since last update, picking up stuff takes about 5 seconds every time.

    My dedicated server (run on 1 core of a Xeon E3-1241 v3 @ 3.5Ghz) is also getting constantly hung at 100% Recalling buildings. I think it's purely a question of not enough power on the VPS, but maybe not. Running a Ylands server sounds like it's going to be very expensive without some optimizations.

    Same. Sometimes literally loading for 30 minutes fixes it. Also the occasional server stucks still happen, especially when you pick up some items from the ground at those prebuilt settings/buildings.

    I totaly agree

     

    offtopic: i saw you opened a server, what port and which type of port did you have to open for it to launch ? i opened UTP and TCP but it wont show in the browser :l 

    I opened 2 random ports, it have to be different ones though! I picked 3789 and 3790.

    Okay, thanks i will look into it :) 
    Playing on a Server with a few friends and we missplaced something in our house and now its unremoveable... its quite wierd to be able to place but not remove :D you can grief by placing blocks too

    I pointed exactly this thing out already indeed, it's reverse grief :D And with all the explosives you can make you can still grief pretty hard :)

    There currently is a finite amount per world! If you play explore it's about 5 to 8 islands I believe. Birds high in the sky travel from island to island, so by following the birds you will reach new islands. They are usually not that far away but they start rendering when you are pretty close. Making a map will definitely help you!

    Explosives! I've tested all explosives and have found the strength of the potato grenade to be the lowest. It's the easiest way of destroying a very small amount of blocks at a time without too much area damage. DO NOT use this on a boat though as you will probably damage the hull which can't be repaired at the moment! Also don't try with gunpowder kegs, bundles of dynamite or hand grenades as this will blow up a lot more than you like :D

    hey,

    finaly had time to try the new update.

    just started a new yland but already found lots of vein on the surface (iron, copper, coal, sufur, clay and flint) thats very handy, cool.

     

    not sure if it is new, but to me the bamboo hut is a new location to be found, cool.

     

    and the animals... the predators are a treat to a new character, a panther chased me halfway around the island.. a nearby panther awoke and joined the first with which i was battling.. a jaguar jumped me while digging up some clay, it had been sleeping on the other side of a hill..  score is 2:3 for me atm (they realy didnt want me to get that clay).. and i'm a bit scared to go out at night again!

    that is cool too, even with a straightbow i found it was challenging (well, i guess i'm not that great a bowman in the game as it turned out..).

     

    like it a lot so far!

    I've found simple melee items and dayz style sidestepping to work great! Stone hatchet should take them out easy :)

    Thanks for the responses Ales! It was nice to see you on the stream :) A few more questions: what fuel will the cars use? Will we have to refine our own oil? Also, will those engines be usable on ships as well?

    Hello,

    I'm trying to make a workaround for animals not respawning currently but it's not really working. I've made an event listener which listens for the destruction of an animal type. It should then have a delay of n seconds upon which it will spawn an animal. However when the spawn animal is selected in, all animals of the type you're listening for become invulnerable and lose their collision. Shooting on them with a gun doesn't work, as it does shoot but doesn't consume the bullet.

    Hi,

    I followed your guide to setup a dedicated server, but i have 2 problem.

     

    1- When i set the parameter --servermonitor and launch,,,, When i press PLAY BUTTON game start and not the server monitor

     

    2. If i try to manual launch Servermonitor.exe setup a new server and START ... stuck on "Starting" without do anything.

     

    What did i do wrong?

     

    PS. Sorry for my english, but it's not my native language

    1) Did you set the parameter for a shortcut to the game or the launcher? It needs to direct to the launcher

     

    2) This probably has to do with point 1. If you did do point 1 right, hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete, go to processes and check your islands process. It can take a few minutes to load depending on the power of your server! As long as the ram is still increasing it's usually still loading :) 

     

    Hope this helps!
