Gold Needed to build ships

Recommended Posts

good dat,  why is gold being needed to build ships? i thought this was a survival game where you can build your own ship just using resources.  that need for gold in building of kills the survival aspect of the game since a ship is needed for the true experience of atlas.  I wasted my money buying this game. 😞  

Well, off to Conan Exiles 🙂

I've got 5K for schooner and 10k more in just 3 days, doing lvl-5 - lvl-13 treasures with wild-lvl-28 bear I tamed.

And I think I'm the only one who likes the idea of putting efforts to your ships (meaning I like the idea of gold cost for ships).

I wouldn’t listen to anyone else if I were you. Doesn’t matter how easy it is to get gold. It should either cost gold or resources. Not both. Very idiotic idea the devs had but then again they have have plenty of idiotic ideas.

The game was an Ark user mod I believe, hence the assets I believe. Anyway on topic, I HATE the gold requirement. As a solo pve player I gave up late season. I got built around so had to move, but couldnt find anywhere that had room for a warehouse, some islands can only have one market.

I made a warehouse and sailed in a tiny sloop that is too small to do anything with, for just over a month. Only places I could find were claimed islands and none of the owners allowed me to settle.

This season I built a 4x4 shelter and built a warehouse first staying up to 2am to get that setup first. This time Ive just today built a Brig. Once you have a warehouse and market setup its super easy....if you can get in early the is. Anyway yes the gold requirement is absolutely stupid and game breaking for some.

Getting the early start is probably the hardest thing. I'm solo & got started about 1.5 days after wipe. I got a base up & got surrounded by fences soon after. As far as getting a warehouse/market...fat chance hot pants. Looks like I'm stuck doing low level maps for gold for as long as I play.

I totaly agree to reduce the costs for shooners to max. 2000 gold that you can get there with some treasure maps and sunken treasure pretty easy. The gold cost does slow down large PvP companys a lot and force them to play much more shooner. Most have only 1 or 2 Galleons now to do Kraken etc. but there are not much ships out there that can bully small player groups. Some Players just ramm sloops vs sloops as they do not have cannons. On PVE the same old issue remains that most Players play solo and don't group up so the space is very rare. Due to less Player owned islands in new map design there should be more space for players to place warehouse and market.

I just wonder if the Devs will react to multiple placed mines, quarys, lumberyards, farms warehouse and markets. It looks like there are possibilities that you can place more than one on a single island/single spot even there is a restiction.
