    deutschsprachige Facebook Gruppe "Ylands DACH"

    It seems to be about “Dark and light”... I can find no mention of ylands.

    Improve exploration with more land more cars and more goals

    So, if I understand you correctly, you want to get rid of the ylands in Ylands
  3. Enjoy it while it lasts!

    Just a quick Hello

    Welcome! I too started playing this with my sons. That thing is the final part of a puzzle (which starts underground). Don’t be too quick to get to it... unless disabled, those ‘antennae’ will kill you quicker than a wolf

    Just a couple ideas I think might be neat.

    Chuck them overboard... it’s cheaper

    & DOUBLE DOORS...

    Turning a door upside down does work... though I agree we shouldn’t have to do that.

    Dev Diary #37

    If I were to list all of the things currently in Ylands that I feel desperately need fixing, the combat mechanic would not feature. The only issue I have with combat - or have ever seen reported - is that predators rarely move... unless they’re falling through the world! Fix those issues and you’ll fix 90% of the problems with combat. I can’t help but wonder how many bugs could have been squashed with the man-hours that have been spent on that shiny new - unrequested - feature Just my two cents!!!

    Reversed images

    So, having purchased a load of hieroglyphs from a shady merchant, I decided to use them to write my name on a wall... only to discover they are all back to front! The same is true of the clock on the astrological carpet (but, strangely, not the symbols).

    Reversed images

    Nope. The hieroglyphs appear on one side only. There is nothing wrong with them... when googling the alphabet (in order to write some stuff with them) I just managed to pick the only image on the wholeof the interwebs that had all of the symbols reversed!

    Community get-together?

    Let’s play some Minecraft!

    Reversed images

    That’s easy for you to say... I set sail for a nearby island, and got there 10 minutes before I had left my base!!!

    Reversed images

    I meant that they are all reversed... but I checked on a couple of different sites and they are okay - the image I was using as reference was wrong :oops: the clock on the carpet definitely is back to front though!

    Keep the skin when placing

    Of course, the next worrying - but logical - step would be for a box to pop up that says “this item has a skin that you have not purchased: Do you wish to purchase now, revert to normal, or abort pick up?”

    Keep the skin when placing

    As spyler mentioned, the item could revert to normal appearance if the person picking it up has not purchased the skin. In theory it would change based on the skin preference anyway... when I changed the skin of my iron sword, I ticked a box which said something to the effect of “always apply this skin to any iron sword I hold”.

    Calling a Spade a Spade

    I think of a shovel as a flat edged wide tool. Mainly used for moving materials (shovelling) - such as a snow shovel or coal shovel. Whereas a spade is for digging so often has a pointed end. So, to me, that picture is the wrong way round. I guess it’s based on where you are from.

    Flax Bundle still found in containers

    Please do... I don’t think I have ever seen that building

    What are your Early Game construction priorities?

    Apparently they can, though I have never seen it happen. However, the real pests you have to watch out for are horses... they will eat your magic blossoms.

    UNDER REVIEW [YLD-9388] Purchased Items

    They are working fine for me.

    What are your Early Game construction priorities?

    At the moment, you can safely ignore anything relating to predators... they won’t be a problem unless you accidentally walk right up to them, and even then the chances are they will be glitched and unable to move. if you haven’t explored other islands yet, I would focus on getting a ship. You can put all your crafting stations on that and use it as a temporary base until you find the island you want to settle on. A roof over your bed and any crafting station that needs to be lit will prevent the rain from stopping you sleep/smelt. Using an existing structure is not a good idea as it probably won’t be aligned to the grid, making improvements/repairs difficult (or ugly!)

    laggggggg

    To add to what Baz wrote, try [temporarily] starting a new single player world and run round for a few minutes to see how that performs. The more you build/explore in a world the laggier that world becomes. Also, you mention you are bedridden. Does that mean you are playing on a laptop, and if so, is the laptop on some kind of table or board. If it is not, then it almost certainly doesn’t have adequate ventilation and is overheating.

    Preserving Explore Mode

    Ales mentioned in his latest update that the ultimate aim is to have: “two worlds, story-like progression and a boss fight”... hence the need to remove the ability to edit worlds. I wonder if it might be an idea to introduce a third game mode for this and thus keep “explore mode” as it currently is. So, we’d have: - Creative: as it currently is - Explore: as it currently is - editable, but no story or boss - Story: the full game, so not editable That could be of benefit to some servers, especially those for whom a story/boss is less important than the ability to add their own customised spawn area, replace resources/animals etc, and generally undo other mess created by griefers..

    Stone Chests on exploration...

    If the normal password doesn’t work, try “42”... it’s the answer to everything!

    game crashes at start

    That looks like it is crashing when loading a saved world (rather than when starting the game). Have you tried starting a new world to see if that loads without crashing?

    Another funny screenshot thread...

    After a long day of playing "ring a ring a rosie" in their cave...
  25. This may be a silly question but, did you actually craft all the components or did you find any of them. Also, is anything unexpected still showing in the “suggested” tab? It shouldn’t matter because you have unlocked the propeller recipe, but just a thought.
