I can't even launch the server now, after .9 Within a CMD prompt and within the ylands directory, I would normally enter ylands.cmd, then the headless monitor box would appear where I'd enter tail to see more goodies, but that box never pops up and the game never launches. I can't enter the dedicate forums because one of my friends got the server info and set it up and taught me how he did it so we'd have 2 of us to admin it but he doesn't remember what the password was. Help! ********************UPDATE******************* In our ylands.cmd is ... start "" "c:\ylands\ylandsds.exe" -logfile "c:\ylands\worlds\TSQ\log.txt" -nographics -batchmode Instead of running ylands.cmd, I just ran YlandsDs.exe from c:\ylands\ and the server started, I found it, and entered the game. QUESTION ... What is now broken in the .cmd that I need to fix, or is that launch string even needed? Thanks!

Helmet light - please allow us to turn it on at will
Hattrix posted a question in Suggestions & Feedback
Too often I'm working at night with the light of my helmet on and POOF!!!!! It goes off because it's "morning" although its pitch dark. Please let me manually turn the helmet light on and off. Another place that we HAVE to be able to manually turn it on is in a cave or hole. It gets dark but the light doesn't come on until you're much further down. Thanks!- 1 reply

My friends and I run a dedicated server. We want to generate a new map with .8 features, but I don't know how to get it to do that. I tried removing the save world folder so the game wouldn't have anything to load, thus creating a new seed map, but that didn't work...the server never loaded. Help! Thanks!

Baz .. it worked perfectly! Thanks!

I'll give it a go! Thanks!!

I made a large workshop with some really neat skylights to see the sky ect. I made the skylights out of glass panes/windows .. the one with 4 squares (2x2 with the seams showing) When it rains, the rain comes through the glass, but it doesn't come through the rest of the ceiling which was the large decorated stone panel squares.

KNOWN ISSUE Rain goes through glass windows

If you live in northwest NJ, having snow is no big deal LOL! -

Ok, so it's not just me. It's not a game breaker, just little annoyance. I'm sure the devs will address it. -
A mod for ARK has the energy lines built into walls so once you have power to the building (wall) you can run power seamlessly and invisibly through a structure. Have a any sized log or block become "wired" with a new recipe. splitter recipe + block (or log) = wired block (or log) This recipe would need to be tweaked and revised as to how many resources we'd need to create one depending on the size of the block/log. Maybe you just combine a splitter and a block/log instead ... just a thought. As long as a wired block/log touches another wired block/log the energy flows through. The entire block/log is like 1 big IN and each block is also 2 big OUTs....like a splitter Every block/log has an open outlet if needed (that's the 2nd OUT) if they are connected. If it's a stand-alone block/log it acts as a splitter (effectively hiding the ugly splitter). Attached is my idea for a Wired Log .. the same concept could be applied to blocks or stone or marble, or whatever. Credit for my ugly paint.net image goes to ylands.gamepedia.com for the format and images which I mashed together to create my idea.

Perfect idea ... love it!
-
While I appreciate the realism of that idea, we're wearing a propeller backpack and flying around ... not very realistic. The main reason I respectfully disagree is I wouldn't want to limit the creativity of players who want to use logs to build their houses, towns, mega-structures ect to then NOT be able to use the energy discreetly in a wired wall.

Yes, please cancel the crafting process and give back 100% of the materials before the 1 minute timer runs out .... especially if the furnace/forge/stove ect has no fuel.

Do Ylandium engines recharge from the Recharging station?
Hattrix posted a topic in General Discussion
So, do Ylandium engines recharge from the Recharging station? I want to pull my car/boat into the "gas" station to fill-er-up. On a related note, how far is the sphere of influence of the Recharging Station? -

No apologies needed. Thank you for the helpful conversation. Other than building a big house, I think I've hit the current "end game" as it stands now. I don't know what else to research or discover. Maybe we'll reset the server to a new seed....... -

Wow, that's definitely going to help in the future. What IS the charcoal potion recipe? -

Thanks for the clarification! I have a small ship with 4 steam engines and 4 large masts. The steam engines only require 6 coal to fill them up, but when our world runs out of coal, we're gonna have to use wood chips I guess ... a lot of them. -

Wait.... So the large ylandium power packs recharge on their own, without anything else, in about 10 sec? -

Thank you so much for testing it out. You rock! -

Hattrix replied to Hattrix's topic in General Discussion
I tried a small ylandium power battery by putting it in a wicker basket right next to the charging station. I pulled the handle and it didn't charge to battery. It seems that the battery only gets charged if it's in your inventory. Is that normal? I didn't want to make an engine to do my test if the battery didn't work. -
I copied a saved world file from the server over to my local machine and when I went into the game, that "save" appeared in the Continue screen as the map of all islands (instead of a screenshot of my character like it usually does). Luckily I took a cell phone pic because once you click on the game in the Continue screen, you lose the "map" as the screenshot. Our dedicated server world has 9 islands!

Running a dedicated server here. 0.7 version We've found 7 islands and have gone, as best as possible, EVERYWHERE but can't find any more islands. Is there a way to find out where any more islands are? My friend and I have a bet and I say there are NO more islands in our game. We want to settle the score. We've got 3 desert islands, 1 jungle, 1 forest, 1 pine forest that gets cold and snows at times, 1 pure arctic. We've never seen an NPC. When I found a new island, I'd tame a horse on it, but it seems like the more horses I tame, the earlier ones don't respond when you call them when you go back to that island. I've called for a horse, not have it come, but then find it on the other side of the island just hanging out. Do horses just wander off and become wild again? Do the wander off anyway but stay your tame? Do they get killed by wolves or other predators?

I have all of the materials to make the propeller pack, but when I go to the locksmith table and click on the pack, the CREATE button stays grayed out and unclickable. So I select something else that I can make, the button becomes active for that item, I then select the propeller pack again and the CREATE button becomes active for making the propeller pack. I click the CREATE button and I get ..... FAILED The propeller pack isn't created. What did I do wrong?

I have magic blossoms and a mortar but I can't make the dust. I'm on a private server with all updates. UPDATE Never mind.... I'm stupid... I got it. Sorry

Multiplayer private server crash = lose ALL progress
Hattrix posted a question in Bugs & Technical Issues
We're running a private server. The server crashes (that's ok since this is early access and these things happen). When we restart the server, it generates a new map/world and we've lost all progress. Where is the save world file? Why does it overwrite the world? Wouldn't it just use the current world? -
Multiplayer private server crash = lose ALL progress
Hattrix replied to Hattrix's question in Bugs & Technical Issues
Grimp, thanks for the reply ...... but I don't know what you're trying say. Are you asking if I ..... "Put the save file info in the DsConfig.json?" or Are you telling me to ... "Put the save file info in the DsConfig.json?" How does your advice solve my problem? We've spent HOURS on advancing our characters and bases and it's all gone. I can't believe the save world file just gets overwritten like that. To be honest, my buddy runs the server and he set everything up, so I really don't know how he did it. All I know is how other games I've set up (Ark, Minecraft, Space Engineers, Empyrion, Terraria) have done their save world files and so far, this game doesn't seem to do it like others do which seems ... odd... because the other games' system seems to work. Why reinvent the wheel?
