Nicoli613 7 Posted October 16, 2019 So this topic always went down well on other forums I've been on. Figured we could give it a try here. Nitrado Xbox Server: Today I managed to finish my first sloop, the very basics anyway, I'll tweak it over time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marcus Smith 0 Posted October 17, 2019 Well today I got offline wiped as my unfinished brig was sitting on my large shipyard and some troll decided to be funny to destroy it all without getting anything out of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are many whole islands without a single claim or structure on them yet. I think he meant all of the 15 and 20 point islands since he is solo. Luckily there are still a lot of 57 point islands available which is around the size that our company wants. Don’t want to have to bother with an 86 point island or anything with that high of an upkeep. that poor solo guy would probably have trouble with a 57 pointer. there are still a lot of 35 point islands in the polar as well. We almost took one until I found out we have 92 points 59 minutes ago, Nicoli613 said: Just be a nomad and live off your ship lol Or lawless. We are still on lawless until we find a good 57 pointer for us. plenry of room on k12 grid.

Ickle MrG 1 Posted October 17, 2019 well last night we decided to build, well start building, a galleon!!!! with no boosted gathering and only 2 of us on it was a long long process. got all the floors in and a few of the walls. but it takes ages by hand. espicially as we dont have anything bar metal tools to help us. but we are getting there. cant believe how massive it is tho. it is seriously HUGE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Shandy 242 Posted October 17, 2019 Well on the way to getting the gallion built, mated pairs of gathing tames and a bear with a cart following cuts the grind. (Extra bonus for elephant with it's poor stamina, as you can keep switching elephants when they run out of stamina.) Want it built by the weekend, so we can go hunt the two masterwork maps we found.

Realist 504 Posted October 17, 2019 We got our galleon up in a day with 3 of us grinding. Still altering decks for tames and such but after buying our first island today the “jawbreaker” will need to wait a few more days to be sailing. Its called jaw breaker Because our first ship was called lollipop smh that was my buddies and idea and yes he is old lmao. if anyone gets the reference kudos to you lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Realist 504 Posted October 17, 2019 Jesus Christ I told my buddy to go to bed. The game has been out for what? 8 days. Technically less because of the late launch and this guy already has 6 days 14 hours of play time my work has made it to where I only have 2 days 14 hours. Yeah time to get some sleep though. 2 am where I am at. Got two days off of full game play though starting when I wake up. Let’s do this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sleepinator2000 87 Posted October 17, 2019 If you are building your first galleon and you don't have a good mix of tames to make it easier, find a spot in the center of a nearby forest and build a smithy. Don't get tricked into thinking you have to cart everything back to your base to build it. You can do all the planks, decks, and ceilings right there on the spot, and then carry them to the boat when you are done. I get perverse pleasure out of carrying everything to build my ships in one trip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicoli613 7 Posted October 17, 2019 I finally decided to circumnavigate my island and his is what I found... My friends house and shipyard. Seeing as our in game map doesn't work.... We had no idea that we were literally living around the bend of the cove from each other Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What is not usual is that my buddies, that i Have known and got along with for a long time finally started talking to me on a political level. It’s amazing the differences that we have. I am neither right of left but either way I always end up arguing with either one because no matter what side you are on you are wrong lol.so basically it is the twilight zone right now. Very unfortunate smh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicoli613 7 Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) So... My sloop randomly sank after the tinyest bump from my friends sloop. Attempted a server rollback to recover it..... Wish I had just built a new one now because the roll back wiped the server it seems eugh That'll teach me to try and avoid the grind lol Edited October 18, 2019 by Nicoli613 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s cool and all but that grants ultimate control(which is good). In that case why was that a bad thing? Nothing wrong with being able to erase the past. I am sure most would like that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicoli613 7 Posted October 18, 2019 Yeah I have a nitrado server I'm fiddling around on. The issue was it deleted my mates entire character and base as it rolled back to before they'd joined. They weren't best pleased. We generally keep our unofficial servers (have run ark servers before) at official rates and try only to interfere with things if it's a game glitch that causes a problem. If we just screw up then we live with the consequences like on official. If the game screws up then I act as GM and can rectify if it seems appropriate. This time it went horribly wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
