KNOWN ISSUE Protective Barrier Not Working

[Techna 0]

According to the wiki:

"The Protective Barrier Generator first appears in the players inventory as the Broken Protective Barrier Generator which requires to be repaired before becoming functional. Once fixed, this item will grant the player a 30x30x30 cube (or 82x82x82 in blocks) in which they will have several abilities:

• the power to pick up placed blocks with a hammer after the timer would normally be up,
• immunity from damage when logged out,
• placed blocks cannot be damaged by other players,
• other players cannot place any blocks"

I have been playing on the public server EXPLORE NA 48 with no issues until I logged in today.  While I was offline, players were able to break a locked door, glass windows and three locked chests inside my cabin.  From the description of the protective barrier, I thought this was not possible.  Did I not set up my barrier correctly or is this a known bug?  I attached some screenshots.

Looks like the barrier not recognizing you + being invincible without the Cube (from what I can see in the screenshot) issue. If so, we are aware of the it.

But there are never enough logs, so can you please attach the following files: output_log and output_log_clean, you can find them in the directory \Program Files(86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Ylands\Ylands_Data

Attached are the output files.  I just realized from reading your post that they broke my protective barrier generator as well and it could be how they were able to break the blocks.  I also attached a screenshot of my inventory, and it did not return to my inventory.  I guess there is no way to get one at this point since it cannot be crafted.

I was surprised they did not kill me.  I had four walls and roof, locked doors, & locked wooden cabinets, but they somehow must have destroyed my protective barrier first to be able to break all the blocks.   My ship went missing too, but I figured that would happen since there isn’t a way to lock it down.

They didn't kill you because you currently have the invincibility bug.  The golden hearts on the top left of the screen indicate that you can't take damage.  Enjoy your superpowers, and remember with great power comes great responsibility.
