    NEW! Anyone up for some fun?

    I'd be up for some online, but I'm waiting for them to hotfix the latest patch. I'd be worried that multiplayer will glitch out more right now until they've sorted the worst of the bugs from NPC patch.
  2. Up voting this. Singleplayer can be on the old mechanic.

    0.7: Cheerful Characters (14/02/2018)

    So, the recent hotfix disabled game logics being placed in saved games. Is this the hotfix mentioned earlier, or is it happening later on? If so, how long can we expect the actual fix to be available?

    RESOLVED Fatal Login Error

    In case this helps anyone, I've had the steam api message appear as well. My virus scanner has an automatic sandbox mode. It kind of isolates the game from the outside, including talking to steam. Check your virus scanner to see if any type of containment or isolation is being done, as this could be the problem.

    MP servers, The Good, Bad, and Ugly!

    So much Host Unreachable. That's been my biggest issue with MP and a contributing source of naked avatars clustered in the starting area on numerous servers online. I'm also anxiously awaiting the update and its 100+ fixes. In the meantime I just play on my own server.

    Cars

    We're all waiting on spinning flashing lights. Might also be a fun way of scaring off predators. Perhaps if we get some spinner block or rotor, those spotlights will have more utility.

    What was your first videogame?

    Combat on the atari console. Spent hours on that.
  8. I hope you can address host unreachable in the next patch. This is still a major issue for public servers as large groups of naked players crowed the spawn point for starting Island. One packet fail is enough, as if the game doesn't bother to retry. This is a crippling issue for multiplayer. The official servers are affected after all.
  9. The only solution I can see is using several splitters to get the power down, then use OR gates to add the remaining energy from each splitter back together, but each splitter will still take a point of power away. This system needs a total revamp. Lamps only have an input node, no output to send remaining energy through the remaining grid, and that's not how electricity even operates IRL.

    Regrow

    If you're playing singleplayer, you'll be able to sleep the time away to speed up growing your cotton plants. Bananas? Sounds like you're on a rainforest biome. Copper can help you make steam engines for your ship. Each would take 30 iron and 5 copper to make, but if you can tech up to it fast, you can leave the starting biome faster than making tall masts for your ship. Many players just make the small boat, or even a raft to leave the island.

    Oriental Style Home

    While they were sleeping...

    That's going to be more of an issue for long-standing servers, lack of ore or Clay on the starting Island, and even the one closest to it. A few server hosts running their own, put down more or so that way people starting out can build-up from something.

    Mulitplayer buddies

    I can run a dedicated server if anyone is interested. North West USA here.

    A ylands community meetup?

    A quest map would be fun worth emphasis on teamwork. Could also involve some mutant hunting.

    A ylands community meetup?

    I'd be interested in such an event. Here's hopping the next patch addresses the worst of "host unreachable" problems we've been having.

    What is this 0.7 release new I hear of?

    I'd be curious to know if NPCS can be imported into current maps as a composition. Less need to reset long running servers.

    Mobile Production Base

    It's like a super sized steam boat, except for work and not recreation. What type of engines does it use, and are they easily accessible?

    Terraformer Question

    Had my own hangups with terraforming in the game. I attempted to make a mountain river that ran all the way down to the ocean, but the water on the coast tends to spazz out of it, and my Mountain Lake drains out.

    Pets

    Pets are actually in the devs road map. How they'll function we don't know yet. Too many game breaking bugs they have to sort out first.

    Server frustrations

    My issue is with the "host unreachable" problem that leaves the spawn point crowded with characters.

    Terraformer Question

    Did you create the map in the editor or edit a game you already started?

    Players blocking spawn

    Quick suggestion? If you need to test things like this, ask for volunteers and set up a server yourself to do this test. chasing away new players from the game because they bumped into one of your, test servers, on a public server, is also chasing away future players from the game And causing the developers more money at the same time.

    [Suggestion] Hot Air Balloon

    Don't know about ylands um engines, but steam puts out a lot of heat. A modified version of one could fit into a basket. I shudder to think of the cloth requirements though, making large masts is already a time commitment.

    Suggestion - Mark Explore Games That Used a Cube

    For dedicated servers, the creator cube is the only way to repopulate extinct creatures and replenish ore supplies on starting islands. That's a multiplayer issue of course, but youtube streamers on a dedicated server can't comfy l control the host of those places unless they are the host. As for youtube comments, trolls exist on any social medium. Getting accused of cheating can be done on any game, and the reasons stated are legion. Perhaps a new game mode can be introduced with a focus on hardcore rules, and inability to use editor on that save. I doubt it would silence accusations of cheating, short of a livestream session from start to finish.

    Sleeping in Multiplayer

    Sounds like something Creativerse put in. Don't know how difficult it'd be to set up in this game.
