Rescue missions are quite fun. I just got a mic this last weekend. I don't use it in our discord just because not everyone has one. I really only use it on @RedEagle_MGN's discord. But even then it just depends. My roommate's bedroom is adjacent to my office, so if she is sleeping I don't use it.

Great idea. I am hoping that 0.9 cloud will solve a lot of these problems. Closed communities would eliminate griefers.

I usually reboot my computer and try again when I get that message

We use text on the discord. Not everyone has or uses mics. With 0.9 we will probably run two concurrent games. One like this one, and one. by invite with password. We will start fresh on both.

And keys and padlocks?

Wow, that was a wild ride. I had no idea it was so action packed.

When I checked our discord tonight, there had been some action during the day. A couple of griefers. One seems to be settling down and actually building, but we are warily watching. I made a few trips out to his base to share some supplies. He speaks only Spanish, I speak only English. Google is helping. I don't know if he is to be trusted but I'm trying to help him. We had another guy who kept stealing stuff. I told him when he tried to steal a raft that we would not allow him to play like that. He swung his weapon at Kimbuck and she took him out. Seriously, I wouldn't mess with her. We have gained two good players, and a new one spawned in just as I was leaving. I told her she was welcome to share our space if she wanted to play nice. She said she would. I left Kim to babysit I am going to build a small bunk house on my protected space so newbies can have a private protected space for when they are off line and to store their things. We will give a key to players we trust. If need be I will be able to get in, but other than that, it will be their private space until they decide where to build their own barrier. Stay tuned!

I got tired of looking at them, so I built a wall. Not locking them in, but just blocking the view of the body accumulation.

Rescuing my raft after it had been stolen.

Straw blocks are a real pain to make. And without a healthy sisel agave crop, it would take forever. I harvested everything we had (even "borrowing" from the neighbors.) I had around 650 agave leaves. I broke them down then dried them in the kiln (thanks Keralis for the tip!) and ended up getting 145 or so blocks. It became clear we were going to need to fill in with wood.

In the last two days, our little base has been joined by two guys who literally just got the game. So they are hanging out with us as they learn the game. Kim and I were talking tonight about this, but it seems like griefers are mostly put off by our little settlement. Mostly, I'm sure, because we have barriers up on anything useful. The ships are not as protected as we might like, but the are as secure as we can make them. I had one guy roll up on me in his white undies and stone axe. I armed up with my saber and he decided to go somewhere else. I don't know if he was going to kill me. But it wouldn't have gotten him much. But mostly it seems like the troublemakers just decide to move on.

I always have buyers remorse after I place my barrier.

When I got back in last night, I had not lost any of my inventory and was on a completely different island. When I checked my map to see if I could figure out where I was, I had been mid way between the two islands. Keep in mind, I was standing on an anchored, locked, ship when I got timed out. I ended up out in the middle of the ocean where I died/didn't die/was a zombie twice. When I finally got back in I was on another island, nothing missing. I found a safe place to spend the night. When I got in this morning, my clothes were gone as well as my miner helmet. But my inventory was still there. So I lost armor and the miner helmet. And time. This is the second time this has happened to me. The last time was on 0.7.

Agreed. I wonder what the cursor even does?

I'm not sure where to put this, this seems as good a place as any. For the last three weeks or so, since @Baz Foobar gave up and closed his server, several of us have been server hopping only to find them become unplayable very quickly. We were on Explore NA 10 for a couple of weeks, and got some real progress. But then ships became unsailable, the server became unstable so we moved on. We have been on Explore NA 15 for something like three real days, and it's getting glitchy too. I had it dump me in weird locations when the server timed out while I was on my ship. This last time, I was on my ship which was literally nearly touching the shore. I got a server time out. When I tried to get back in, I had a flashing red light, clicking noise and it was telling me I was not near land. Then it told me I was freezing. I tried to cheat to get to the shore, and I died from freezing to death. On an arid biome. I tried to spawn a new character and was stuck in limbo, black screen with empty hearts. Unable to die, unable to respawn. I couldn't log back in, neither could my game mates. I feel so discouraged by this game sometimes. output_log.txt output_log_clean.txt

So that's why my raft is gone. No big loss, but I was storing food there til I got the bigger ship going. Only three sails because I had to grind out the cotton. I'm glad someone finally brought back sisel. Now I can make my clothing store

This guy has been standing around for days. I decided to make him part of the décor...

I want a predator friend! Improved farming: please please please make planting more precise. If seeds you plant could snap to a grid (as they do in the Sims) so gardens would look better. And make the plantable pots actually easily plantable. Window boxes hardly work at all. I need flowers around my house. And working vases inside.

I love this little base. It is really cute and cozy

I always mean to pop in, but I usually forget by Sunday...

@Baz Foobar

We were going to liberate that base, the dummy built parts of the cage outside the barrier. But the server crashed and we couldn't get back in. Maybe tonight...

Kim did most of the build. It turned out nicely. @V-Alfred I made one the other day (on NA 45, I think,) since I had no plans to actually play the game, I set my barrier there to protect it from griefers or those who would claim it.

Doing anything on ships is dangerous. In my very limited testing, using the upper bunk worked fine getting in, but opopped me down to the bottom bunk when getting up.

I have seen the underscore in a lot of items in the premade buildings.
