I haven't tried to despond someone's inventory, but I'm not even sure how to check that it is empty.
I know the standard vendor NPC is spawned in at a certain time. It just needs to be assigned a label for Logic to interact with it. An action sequencer populates the inventory for the vendor. This may be less laggy overall.
Are you trying to preserve the inventory for each vendor, when a player interacts with it?

Truly, bug squashing is an ongoing problem. We'll have more fun things to try out in future patches.

First iteration of new mechanics can be underwhelming, but the devs are pretty active. I'm sure we'll also have other missing features from Scenario editor. The hotfix basically stripped the addition of custom NPCs for exploration games, and player made features that rely on game logics.
Kinda feels like a step back. . . .

Agreed. Other games have a similar energy mechanic, but the streams are only visible when you have the proper tool equipped. Upvoted on this suggestion, I'd rather not see any energy streams at all without the connector tool.

My guess is when NPCs can attack and react to other entities, they'll have options in the editor to path find their way around the world.

You respawn on the nearest spawn point, even if that's another island.
You can die in the middle of the ocean and start at a different island than the one you left.

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.

Up voting this. Singleplayer can be on the old mechanic.

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?

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.

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.

Is time a factor in any of this? Animals off and stop moving entirely after a few hours go by.

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.

Combat on the atari console. Spent hours on that.

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.

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.

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.

Impressive

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.
-
I can run a dedicated server if anyone is interested. North West USA here.
-
A quest map would be fun worth emphasis on teamwork. Could also involve some mutant hunting.
-
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.
-
I'd be curious to know if NPCS can be imported into current maps as a composition. Less need to reset long running servers.
-
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?

Moving NPCs via action?

Maybe exploration logic sets NPCs for specific biomes, but doesn't limit them one per island.
