TheClockArm 52 Posted January 2, 2018 Is there a tool or method for demolishing stone blocks quickly? As of now, it takes ages for anything I try, and it discourages me from building in stone in fear that I might want to change the build later. Advice?

frostmx 20 Posted January 2, 2018 Protective barrier Inside its cover range you can simply deconstruct all you want with hammer. But remember that you can activate it only once. Otherwise war hammer or war axe and long time ago in a galaxy far far away.. ouch wrong game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I want to build more than 1 thing, in more than 1 different place, or one thing larger than the area- im out of luck Do you know if there will be any other solutions? ei: Modifing protective barrier settings, adding a new tool thats not the annihilator, etc..?

No other "legal" options by this time. 1) Barrier 2) Destroy it with weapon (long time) "cheats": editor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go to editor, file - open - look down for button, if you cant see games, you need to press games - and open your game. Do what you want, save. Go and continue your game.

kimbuck 746 Posted January 2, 2018 I destroyed half my stone building in on second ...was hammering at a stone wall near a powder keg ... kaboom! all 3 kegs must have exploded. Respawned and ran back in my whitey tights to find a massive crater where my base was...only the 4 side walls left, no roof floor and some items scattered around.. I think my forge and smelter were blown into the atmosphere! Not the recommended way of doing it, but only sensible method i find is using lots of hammers while holding a cup of coffee in one hand and the mouse button down with the other hand. Use 1st person so you don't smash the wrong area... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Use 1st person so you don't smash the wrong area... As you observed, the problem with the powder keg is that it destroys all of your nice things around it I admire your ability to grind the stone down with coffee and mouse in hand, but I'm not that hardcore lol. I really like the building and survival of ylands, but I think they could work a little bit more symbiotically- in that it is super grindy, not to gather resources or build, but destroy when you decide to augment your build and you need to take down a wall, or something else of the sort. I would probably be happy with an increase in the amount of hits that it takes to destroy wood, in order to balance the massive decrease in hits required for stone. Or another more flexible option which I would be more happy with is adding more difficulty/building settings to the game which allow giving players to choose from a larger range of difficulty. Idk, just a thought Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimbuck 746 Posted January 2, 2018 Perhaps they should introduce a "Hardener tool" some sort of gun which you can use to "harden" objects after they are placed and you are satisfied with their placement. I agree, that its a survival game and there has to be some level of difficulty ..as a challenge. If there were no challenges, they why not go and play " my little pony's morning teatime" Some of the resources are unbalanced ..but that will improve with time... its amazing how a tiny sapling can produce a log! But its still early access... the wrinkles will get smoothed out eventually . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WijkagentAdrie 384 Posted January 2, 2018 Potato grenades! They do the least damage to other objects around it (but still do damage!). Or maybe the small cannon? I haven't tried that yet, so please try it in the editor first! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used a war hammer. It took around 20?? (or so) hits before it turned into gravel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
