    I will have to jump on and have a look! Haven’t played online multiplayer yet as I’ve been worried about griefers and not being able to find a decent server in my area (NZ).

    I do recommend to avoid this by getting enough resources and food and setting sail another yland.

    I am tempted to  hop in  for a " captain cook"  ( Look :D )  .. are there any  ride able  wombats?:P

    Dear go no, i don't want the mange ... apart from that if you tried to ride ( a tamed one) probably would just call up in a ball.

    I DO NOT want to have to kill whales, are you SERIOUS? Why not also throw plastic bottles and toxic waste in the deep while we re at it? Hey we could also spill oil too no? How about not killing sharks but just mutilating them alive to get their fins and let them float there? What the hell? Are you guys unconscious at that level about how we are destryoying ecosystems and scarring our planet that you want to reproduce that in a game? Even when i cut a tree in this game, i replant it ! 

     

    Then i would advise you re-word your original post or people like us might get the wrong idea.

    ERGZ Ylands Server (ERGZ)

     

    ERGZ Ylands Server is a Public Dedicated Server (DS). ERGZ Ylands Server begun testing operations on Jan 17th.

    ERGZ Ylands Server is apart of the "Active Admins" Network, aka Admins that Actively maintain their servers almost daily to keep it running optimally and efficiently to the best of their abilities.
    Since Ylands is Early Access, the DS Software will have issues, please remember what to expect on a public server during these times.

    The ERGZ Ylands Server world is a 0.7 Exploration world, with other 10 Ylands and over 15 NPC's roaming about the world, Protection Barriers to protect your work or home.

    Features:

    •     Low Latency Tuned Network (For Australia/NZ/Oceania)
    •     Server hosted in Sydney Data Center, 100Mbit U/D
    •     Active Server Owner/Admin: Since i work from home, I'm practically always on the server (unless here)
    •     Daily Backups: Every Daily Maintenance or "Cleaning" occurs the World is Backed up
    •     Daily Maintenance: Maintenance is usually held at 10pm (AEDT) to 11pm daily
    •     8 Slot Server

    Rules:

    Server Wipes:

    •    Only 1 Server wipe has been made, this was due to 0.7 adding new content which would not appear on the old 0.6.3 world.
    •     In all hindsight, if there is new features or map improvements that require a new map (Dev's call), all in all a wipe would be imminent at the release time.
    •     If a wipe is mandatory, In-Game announcement's will be made, shortly prior to the wipe.
    •     This page and other places will updated to reflect a wipe.

    Roll Backs:

    •     Due to Windows VPS pricing, the server is now on a hosted service, so backups will be a daily backup at the time of maintenance.
    •     So roll backs will be due to this factor.

    Known Issues:   

    Please read up on the risks of playing on a public server, read the through the Bugs section and Feedback areas, General Discussion.

    This will be a good indicator of issues and risks at the current time.

    •    If you are going to play on a public server i might suggest these:
    •    Protective Barrier: Build a Floor and 4 walls and roof, people cant get in. Lock your doors! (you may need a locksmith first)
    •    House: Double Build, Build 2 floors, 8 walls, and roof. People cant see inside and steal items from storage
    •    Paranoid about machines? Lock them up! padlocks are great for this! again you need a locksmith.
    •    Paranoid about others? Move away! ERGZ Ylands has over 10+ Ylands to make home on.

    Contact:

    ( Only contact me with issues related to the server, all other requests will be ignored, for general questions pm me here )

    I think PETA would like a word with you, seriously though don't like the idea of killing whales when they a just passive creatures..

    Maybe they can be in place aesthetically in a spot for deep diving sites or similar.

    there are plenty of other dangerous sea creatures of the deep.. just google creatures of the deep and Marianas Trench  for spooks

    Also going deep in oceans has pressure problems, so maybe make deep diving have a pressure element to it, so you don't get crush under the weight of the water. like real life.

    this will add more progression content for ocean treasures.

    I made the DS during the 0.6.2 Update, so the 0.6.3 might have a bug with it.

    I usually shutdown the server wait for the process to end and disappear, copy the save to my pc

    make sure ylands is not running ( as it will not detect the save if its running ) copy the save to

    /steam/userdata/<numberstring>/298610/remote/SaveGames/

    load up ylands > editor> open chose games, server title will appear > select > open

    Do what i have to do > File > save > Exit without saving when closing editor > close program

    reverse steps to copy the file on server, reboot DS.

    Como Ylands usa o software de servidor dedicado que está disponível para download em vapor? Eu baixei o software, mas quando eu abri, não posso fazer nada. Alguém sabe como usar isso?

     

    Translation: ( google translateed )

    How does Ylands use dedicated server software that is available for download in steam? I downloaded the software, but when I opened it, I can not do anything. Does anyone know how to use this?

    Translation back to user:  ( google translateed so don't hate me )

    O servidor dedicado a vapor não funcionará sem algum código, você precisa encontrar a seção do fórum que permite que você faça isso, caso contrário, não funcionará.
    Também essa versão em vapor é muito nova, então não tenho certeza de mim, antes disso tudo estava sando linha de comando.

    The steam dedicated server wont be functional without some code, you need to find the forum section that lets you do this, otherwise it won't work.

    Also that steam version is very new so I'm not sure myself, prior to this everything was using command line.

    The editor still works (I think) but only if you are hosting MP through the game (or you can ask whoever is hosting). If you are using a DS, then you can no longer open the save game in the editor as of version 0.63.

    Im using DS and do daily editor edits for corpses and works just fine..

    [Exploit/Bug/Protective Barrier/Terrain/item/Glitch]

    Since there isn't much voice about this issue, ( A few similar posts ) today i did a server spawn area clean up,

    after the CPU idle % was around 35%, from ~5% initially, expecting the worst and i was not surprised.

    I currently host a Server for the Public if they so choose to use, i have put [Beta] tags on the server title, so people know what to expect.

    I personally play on the server, knowing full well things can break, however i do not live on the spawn island, so i don't have these issues.

    Note: All these places in theses pictures are under a Protective Barrier, people have added their own flare to other peoples areas.

    This exploit would need to addressed ASAP or Dedi Servers ( especially public ones ) will not survive and die out. eventually.

    ( These areas have now been cleaned up by me in the editor, which took 1-2hrs to complete , thankfully its a small server

    after the cleanup, CPU returned to around ~8% idle ! )

    Below is an example of people not knowing about the issue at hand, unlucky for the owner left a stairway to the roof.

    These are players who are not at spawn but not far from it either.

    I for one am for modding, only if its done right.

    Also the game has only come to Early Access very recently, It's even recommended for now to stay away from public servers, private servers with friends is ok.

    Once they reach 1.0 then they might consider external modifications, but i would rather they get to 1.0 rather than focusing on other things.

    Soon they will be adding very basic NPC's that eventually you can script, but its early steps still.

    Yes having the map save to the character at logout would be great, so that

    1) you don't have to remap everything

    2) you can see where you have traveled

    3) navigate back home if you randomly appear somewhere.

    Alternatively, what i do is when i travel i place my map in the hot-bar on screen, open it once before i travel yland or across seas,

    when I'm just about to logout, on the map, screenshot revealed areas.

    I now have some idea where i have been.

    At least till the map issue has been resolved or a fix of some kind.
