Thank you for the message back Ane. Bb has beat me to the Sofa and Ottoman chairs.I'll have a quick look tomorrow and list the items which are all in the cube.. but aren't craftable. As I play on a MP server we don't use a cube, and as BB mentioned having them as craftable items would put a huge smile on a few peoples faces. As for the dying stand, Stoutcrusher tried to colour my clothes with the stand and it just coverts back to the vanilla colour. I'm trying to colour the purchased leather armour... Stoutcrusher also had to colour his iron purchased armour. I'll open up a new thread tomorrow. For the walking... thanks I'll check the button's. Kiln etc I still can't get to change colour, it's still T and G?

Hello to all, Thought I might throw my 2 cents in.... just in case. Positives are : 1. New loading screen's and loading time is massively improved, this includes loading the game and also logging into servers. 2. You can walk/run on ship's now without getting thrown off... from our short experience so far. 3. Adding all the extra content that you can buy, and giving refunds for those who purchased items 4. The new combat features are nice, I'm not sure how effective as I haven't had the chance to battle someone.. but they look great. 5. Having more faces to hair styles to choose from is fantastic ( still no long haired guy though... that's not Jamaican?) 6. $^#! I got 15 FPS... nice improvement on the performance.... hopefully an area to keep improving on as time goes by. 7. Is it just me.... or have you made the Ylands more detailed in the landscape? I seem to find more coves etc now than before.. if this is the case... awesome job guys. 8. The new pets are totally bad ass... definitely on a home run with these. That's the good point's I've found so far... I'm sure there's many more others can post about. Onto the good stuff.... Constructive criticism: 1. Like everyone has been mentioning... FIRST PERSON VIEW... man oh man it has to be in game and I mean like it was before... an easy click on c and you've got a sensation up close view to see which way blocks are facing and also to move stations etc into the exact spot you want them. The new updated 3rd person view just doesn't work.... I'd love to know who tested this and gave it the tick of approval.... hmmm!!!! 2. Now this is a mixed bag... I like the new compass... but at the same time feel it's too easy to "find" ylands now... maybe that's just me, but I enjoyed the way it was before... some what challenging to find birds... but once you found them... connection connection. 3. I'll keep it short as I know others have mentioned it and it's under review.... logs and trees... ahh boy! Having them fall in stacks of 5 might be a better idea. Once again who tested this out? 4. The new gold games... ahh nice... great in fact to see the Ylands team creating games to mix things up.... but why remove ALL the explore ylands…. I'm still wanting to chase down that dam pig..... oink oink! 5. Ship's are now glitchy in a new way... after sailing I'm finding myself stuck and unable to move... unstuck doesn't help and only after reloading can I move are free will again. ( see attached photo) 6. Are the items from the editor ever going to be added? I've been asking this for a year almost with no response... so I'll ask again.... when (not if) will the editor items be added... as you have added the purchased items I see no reason not to add the comfy chair,iron pipe etc. So many amazing blocks and extra's we can't build in game... kinda sucks! 7. Have you taken the walk feature out? Or if you've changed the button could you please share this... as I used it to sneak up to animals... was very handy! 8. You can no longer colour your clothes using the dye stand... only by paint gun.... not sure why this is the case.... but I hope it gets changed back. 9. Animals are glitched a lot.... hey I don't mind too much as I don't get attacked and I can get leather easy... but I wouldn't mind a bit more of a challenge. 10. Changing the colour of the kiln etc hasn't worked for me in a very long time... was this taken out... or is it getting an overhaul? 11. The world is round... have you thought about making the world round... this might reduce the size of the world... I'd like to know how big the oceans are... as I've had Syxty Syx fall asleep at the wheel and sail for over an hour. (please see 2nd attached photo) 12. I think improved testing before updating needs to be a priority... especially when you entre full release. Do you have a testing team? That's my 2 cent's... 1272 hours and counting.... not as fast... but still counting. Happy hump day all. Chief

I know what you mean ERGZ. It's sad that we lost you as a host, I'm going to steer clear from the forums and sharing anything from now on too. Best of luck Ylands.

Clay and Marble resources. Currently you can collect plenty of stone, wood and sand but especially with clay and Marble it's difficult to use them in a larger build. I was wondering if you have thought about making marble veins like you have the gold ones? Clay, is a tricky one and I understand you've already improved the amount you can collect... but maybe a 1x1 could be a bit more generous, maybe a 3 blocks to one clay would make it easier to build out of clay. My last question, do you plan on adding all the items from the editor into the game at some stage? If not, why, and if so when? Also when moving it's extremely jerky now (zooming in then out in then out).... I think the player movement you had post last update was better. I'd love to be able to remake something like this in an actual game.

I've had this happen for the last 3 months and haven't been able to upload a single item. It doesn't bother me as such, but someone is asking for one of my builds... and I guess it'd be nice to be able to share builds. Cheers

Hi Ane, just a quick one as Stouts and I have been spending so much time on ships of late. This seems to happen a lot, on official servers and private. By the way I'm actually on a ship... don't let the picture fool you.

I wouldn't want to take another step, unless I could type /unstuck 0 like lightening! Hang with with Bruce instead

In not responding I assume that your little story is full of BS!

And you were hitting me because?

Hello Smoothey… is this you?

Ales mate, you're a champion for getting back to me. The information you have given is very welcomed without giving away too much. Have a great weekend, loving what you've done to the update thus far. Cheers Chief

ahh excellent splyer, so they can be found inside building not just at camp sites, excellent I'm so happy SOMEONE got back to me.

Hi Dev's, I understand you not wanting to give a lot of information away, but I've been speaking with a couple of other players who are like me having a blast searching for a pet. As you mentioned they can only be found on a dedicated server, although we'd like a little more information please. Can they be found on every dedicated server or just a select few? Is there one per server? How will we know if a pet has been found by someone else? Will the empty cage still be seen? How long will the pet's be available to search for on the dedicated servers? And lastly, can they be found on any kind of bio or only the one shown in your video? We're not after a location or anything, just some basic information. Fantastic addition, I'll go over all the positives from the update at another stage..... too much pet finding to do at this stage Chief

B. We've had simular ideas of having battles. It's annoying when you don't want them and only want to build or explore. Some maybe having some servers that are pvp and others that are only pve. That way everyone can choose which server/game type they would like.

HELLO, Will the Dev's mention or not if the pets you find and the pets you buy are different?

ARGH! Whom ever designed the pirate parrot... great job. Great addition having the pet's, if I may say so, the green dragon and a hat? Why not one of your cool looking helmet's? Will you be my Mommy? umm nope, I'm male and males are Daddy's? Some won't like the sizing, I think that they're a perfect size, and how they fly around is fantastic. Over all 8 out of 10 for the pets

Hope

Hey Dev's, unfortunately I can't make the trip over from Australia to your gamescom event... good point made from Chou. Rewarding the current players would be a nice little thank you. I was wondering about blocks, at what stage will you look into adding back the blocks you took away and maybe a few new ones also. For e.g single roof pieces, more options for brick blocks (hands down the best block in the game).. although sandstone is a close 2nd. Do you plan on making most/all items from the cube craftable at some stage. Blueprints, for me are the single best thing included in the game this year(building wise), I can take my time in the editor to create something cool, and then rebuild it on server. Or at least make ladders capturable for now. Have/will you think about making furniture capturable as well (minus the paid items ,cubes and mining materials. Last question, how will pets work? Will it be like when you purchase items now, we're you can only use it on 1 game, or will the pet be unlocked regardless of which game and can be used multiple times? 1.0 here we come. Thanks Chief

Hi Devs, thanks for your feedback as always. I'm also going to leave a very open and honest comment... lets hope that people don't shoot me down for having an opinion and understand I... like them want the best for the game. Ylands has to be up amongst my favourite games (approaching 1100 hours in 9 months) and has easily topped my games list with hours played… so I'm not going to mention all the fantastic features of this game, as I want to keep this as short as possible. Couple of thoughts: What is Ylands aiming to become as a game? Is it mainly meant for a game builder/platform or is it something else? I always thought it was the next upgrade to Minecraft(of which I never played.. I couldn't get past the blockiness). with all the creations that you can make. Although the scale is limited at this stage, compared to Minecraft... how awesome would it be if we could make huge cities/ towns and creations. Is this a realistic target, or will a few buildings always be the max before Ylands becomes unplayable? My main worry is this: You don't need to share with us any ideas or anything, but do the team have a strategy to draw players back to Ylands? I was one of the 5,540 people to buy the game in December of last year... and I'm still one of the 201 players left.... but if this trend continues we're going to be at a 50 player count. Take care, Chief

Hi Ane, just wanting to know what the max size for uploading things to the workshop? Thanks

Thanks Ane

Great, can you tell me what to do?

Just wondering if the workshop has been fixed? As I've been waiting to download an item Cheers

Hey Ezzy, glad to see you've joined the Ylands community. Like Kim mentioned P1 has a great server to play on, but can be a bit laggy but has some great builders which are very helpful. Otherwise Apex has a server which is creative if that's more your style, and for a server that doesn't have as many players but still has a great small community look at Stoutcrushers server. Apex and Stout are private, but if you check on there youtube channels they offer the current password to join in. Have a great weekend fellow Aussie

G'day all, Thought I'd share today's work in progress. For the most part enjoying the new update. Have a great weekend all. Chief
