    how to get rid of the trash

    Maybe if the destroy/break option was not hidden. The personal inventory is ridiculously small. Clothing that is being worn and items in the hotbar should not tale uo inventory space. We need a toolbelt that holds all weapon and tools and only takes up one slot.

    The developers are no longer part of the community

    Welcome to the forum and the game. The devs explained that they made the decision because of performance issues. The BI rented servers really do a fabulous job handling the game. Other servers have had issues. It is worth noting here because not everyone reads the whole forum, that Nitrado will be an option. They are not online for YLands yet, but will be supported soon. It is also worth noting that you can self host for free. Sharegames are also free for three players, although from my experiment this weekend they still don't work as advertised. Or maybe I don't understand how they are supposed to work. And I'm not sure that those who use a server in their home or job won't be able to host for free. What the devs said is they won't be supported. But they have never been supported in my experience. I am not sure that means they won't work.
  3. Since 0.15 my server does not appear in the multiplayer lobby. To find it, players have to search. It has kept my game largely pristine, but I know there are good players looking for a place to play. My steam name is bbcakes.

    I understand your dismay. However, having suffered through nearly 2 years of servers being jacked up, if they will actually support the limited options we have, I'm just going to deal with it.

    Explore Map Size

    This is disappointing. Especially if you are using the sandbox map, the island is much larger (though not as large as in the past) and having the map with the markers on it would be useful. If that isn't possible, how about a craftable compass that would be in the compass slot full time once you crafted it?
  6. @Adam Snellgrove to be fair, Exporation is NOT what it always was. And full release or not, it needs some TLC.

    Do you mean a server in your basement? Or do you mean the option that is STILL in the game to locally host? Given that the game is free to play, it seems to me that a revenue stream might be important.

    Clubs

    Is the Clubs tab just a place holder? I can't seem to create any topics in my club.

    No Loot?

    When you kill the NPCs, they just poof out of existence. They don't drop loot at all. You should at least get their clothing and weapon. Kind of anticlimactic.

    The problem comes to those who are trying to monetize, I think. If you are trying to make money, you don't want to be paying out for each server. I do question the amount as well. But Red is in Canada, so maybe that is accurate for CA dollars. When I look at the P1 stuff, they have like 6 or so games going. So that does add up. But again, monetization is the goal. I checked the numbers for US dollars, and it was $50 for three months of the high performance BI servers, which is less than $17 per month, for 8 slots. Nitrado, for 10 slots, was $13 I think. That was monthly, I think it's closer to $10 per month for a year. For the basic player, there is no real change, other than the changes that came with full release.

    You can. Also sharegames for three players are free.
  12. I am confused by your post. It seems like you say you want to be able to create things to use in exploration. But then you say you are not interested in the editor to make games. If you are creating things (ship, houses etc) you are creating a game just as much as if you are scripting. You say people are buying the keys for explore and not for scripting. I'm not sure you understand how the release works. The editor and all it can do is free. Within it you can make all kinds of things, including the sandbox exploration map, which as I understand all players can use. If you create the exploration only those with the DLC will have access. But those buying keys have access to everything. Also, you say there are many game creating platforms. Not like Ylands. I've tried to find other games. But as many issues as I have with Ylands, it is still the best building game out there. If you know of a better one, I'm listening. (Waiting for Paralives, it may become my new favorite.) I think you don't really understand what Ylands is or can be.

    Go to where you can choose your pet. Hit I for inventory, upper right corner. We got two pets and special costume. Which I wish we could pick our colors or at least color it in the dye station.

    New Community: 3HT designs

    V1.0 Exploration game on our BI server. Search for 3HT. As soon as Nitrado will let us, we will have a second server going.
  15. The ones that show up are all starting with non-english characters. I can't even seem to get the list to alpha sort so I can see anything else.

    Unless I am missing something, you don't even need a server to share with three friends. There are sharegames (unless these are not a thing anymore.) Three people can use these free. You can self host. I hosted a game last night for four of us. It worked just fine and it saved our progress.

    Default Day Length 24 Min

    I have no idea if this is a bug or planned. The default game length is 24 min. It used to be 48. The only way I can see to change it is in the game setup files which aren't available in exploration without going into editor. I am playing straight vanilla on my SP and 24 minutes is so bad. Please either make it 48 as default as before, or put the command to change it inside the console command list.

    Stun Effect

    When avatar is hit by an enemy, it causes a stun effect and you can't run or fight back. Yet you can still be hit again. Your enemy does not have this same effect whdn you hit him. This gives you no chance to escape or fight back. Pro-tip always set a spawn bed in a safe spot nearby before you jump into a new environment.
  19. I thought the game doesn't support controllers. Is that still true?

    Default Day Length 24 Min

    Me: Hey look! They put the day length back to 48 min! Also me (hiding from mutants): Why is this night so long? Whose idea was this? Is it possible to script the day length so the days are 2/3 and the night is 1/3. How would one do this?

    What does theprofile thing do? And how do we use it.
  22. We all have the full game. I can see other games? I don't know why. That's why I am asking.
