    20200813_Patch_WarehouseUpdate_1920x1080-min.jpg

    Ahoy Pathfinders!

    We’re excited to bring you phase 2 of the new features we are currently rolling out! Expanding from the Farmhouse system we introduced last patch, Warehouses are a new structure type that players may build at the smithy. We are shifting Stone Farmhouses and Warehouses to a new skill - Advanced Automation, which can be found in the Construction Tree (requires Esotery of Building).

    Warehouses can be used in conjunction with Farmhouses to automatically collect and store the resources gathered from Farmhouses. Gone are the days of having to tediously move resources to and from for storage. Simply craft and place the Warehouse and it will begin gathering from all farmhouses within a 500m radius. Ever get confused by which of your storage boxes has which resources? With its large storing capacity, you can now easily access all your resources in one place! Any basic resource and alloy can be put into the warehouse, it will not store finished goods.

    We’ve also made a few tweaks to improve and balance Farmhouses. Again, these systems are still a work in progress and we are continuing to change and develop on Farmhouses and Warehouses as we examine gameplay and receive player feedback. 

    The Warehouse update also includes an Explosive Barrels rework and a couple of minor balance changes on Puckles and Army of the Damned. 

    For more details on Warehouses and other changes, see the full patch notes below:

    I spent all day yesterday dealing with farmhouses. 

    Yes absolutely you can place them bout 200m apart. 

    Yes, if you wreck some out that were placed previously at 120m distance, you cant put those back without destroying more to make room. I had to clear 3 out just to place 1 where I wanted it.

    The increase to 200m I can say was nessisary, else the WH would become OP in some situations.

    The WH doesn't seem to accurately display how many farms are connected. And it appears to collect out of farms that are turned off, contrary to a previous post where I said the opposite.

    Now as for a new player, just loot other peoples farmhouses. It's what I did to get started. Its way better that previous seasons where you had to gather everything by hand to get started. The devs were genius to penalize the farm for building near it, so they are always for the taking.

    Also, the wh wont work as intended if you limit farmhouse to harshly.

    new fetures, new mistakes !!

    SODs stand around in the middle of the ocean and do nothing
    Graphic errors are increasing. Now we even have holes in the water! or is that also a great innovation with which the developers want to delight us?
    The ping problems are only getting better in places because more and more players give up in frustration and look for a game that works and where the developers break a working game with updates and stupid innovations.
    I know that Grapeshoot wants to push PVP, but we PVE players also paid you money and don't want to be punished for it now.20200818211953_1.jpg

    The huge disappointment in the developers is only intensifying among many players !!! Maybe it's time to stop? Put everything back, the old map with its achievements, return the players to their PVE servar !!! And start thinking of the game as an MMO sandbox, not a shooter on ships ! This game is not about sailing !!!

    Very little time has passed and many already understand how impotent the new team of ATLAS reformers is ... They add content for people from school and childhood, complete disregard for the need to at least take care of mistakes created by them, it is impossible to just go into the game and play .... Guys, it's time for you to leave !!!
