    You can only blueprint under your own activated barrier.  What I do is make an exploration map, pull it into editor and give myself several barriers(place it outside of my inventory then duplicate in editor,) lock them in a safe along with a cube.  I build what I want in the editor, then make a composition, place it in your blueprint map.  Now you can make blueprint with limitations.

    Your blueprint will only capture the building, not any craftable items that you have placed inside.  Also if you used any non craftable blocks in your build (the painted sandstone ones always get me) they will stop you being able to blueprint the build.

    I haven't played with ship blueprinting yet.

    Does anybody else think the Rhinos are a little OP?  Especially since they are all over the first "tier 1" island I went to.  Can't evade them, can't outrun them, and can't outfight them with just the starting stone weapons.

    Yeah, dude, I've been cubed.    They are adorable.  Out of place and they make no sense, but adorable.   Do they give something special?  You'd think a rhino armor would be awesome.

    @Indian Chief thanks, but @jchob taught me.

    The problem with that is that by chopping trees to get to those things poses a very real possibility that trees will disappear.  Not everyone replants.  Trolls definitely do not.   There is a real problem with resources with the update.   

    I realize that the idea is to make it more challenging, but unless you have changed something fundamental about how resources respawn, this is going to be a problem.  I have seen whole islands without visible ore.  Yes, I get that they are supposed to be in the caves.  But there are very few in there too.  Unless you have  ores and other resources respawning in some way, we will run out in a few days.  Yay, another limit to map life!!

    I am making my own resource replenishment, I can't count on the game to support my players.

    I have used both BI server and Nitrado.   

    I was able to upload an exploration map to my BI server.  No problems.  My players can get in.  So good so far. 

    Nitrado is another issue.  I have a love/hate relationship with Nitrado.  On the plus side, it's very affordable, pretty easy to set up and use, you can easily set up admins for the server, and probably best of all, they have a mobile app that works on my android phone.   I can also use it with other games.  I have used it with Portal Knights, Medieval Engineers, and Outlaws of the Old West. With all that being said, nitrado is so finicky.  I can't get it out of a restart loop. I suspect it's because they have not updated to the latest software.  There is no way that I have ever found to force that, but it will likely fix it when they reset tonight.  Or maybe not.

    I was just looking at the price on the BI servers, it will be 12800 coyns for three months (about $50 US) .  Before the update, it was 5800 for three months or about $30.  That's a bit steep for a server that I can't use for anything else, I can't set up alternate admins and I have to be physically in front of my computer to even do something as simple as a restart. 

    The other thing is, neither server has real time support that I have ever had luck with.  Nitrado behaves as if they are doing you a favor to host you, and they can't possibly help with problems you may have.  BI/dev team do awesome support, but they aren't 24/7.  

    The BI servers have always run the game beautifully.  Nitrado?  It's hard to tell what is a Nitrado issue or a Ylands issue. I can say that we almost never experience the restart loop with any other game we have hosted on Nitrado.  I am worried that if the BI servers are being hosted at Nitrado are we being thrown to them for their crap support?  Or will the dev team still be available for issues?  Also, and I may have misunderstood this from the dev diary 106, I thought that @Adam Snellgrove said that the BI servers are being migrated to Nitrado.   Does that mean that they ONLY option we will have is the BI Coyn ingame servers?   

    I think we need some clarification on private servers.    MP and Exploration are hugely effected by this.

    We need triangle windows, large and small. Really all the block shapes.

    A hammock.  I mean, come on.

    Translucent ice blocks in all the shapes and sizes of the other blocks.

    We need a way to harden and make things unpickable under our own barrier in exploration.

    Animals. In no particular order

    Cows, calves, donkeys, llama, chickens and rooster.

    Clutter and knickknacks.  Maybe a few paddywacks.

    And dogs. And cats. Tameable bunnies.

    But if I could only have one thing: non persistent avatars.
