    Now, many islands are missing, including some where I had stuff - those just appear like a desert - new terrain, no spawns or resources, but the structures are still there. 

    The first step is cleaning the islands - transfer any creature and all the important ressources to a ship and then destroy all buildings.  Make sure the ship are some miles away from the coast line...

    Will we get a new ServerGridEditor and some base maps like a refreshed 4x4? I was planning on adding in islands where they are missing, but no idea how it will react where i have stuff already.

    There´s a new island.json: http://cdn.atlasdedicated.com/islands.json to be placed in the data-directory. After that, the faulty islands are not available any more and you can replace them with other islands of the same type - I´ve used same sizes to avoid changeing discovery zones.

    Existing buildings will be stuck somewhere in the ground or the air so it´s important to clean the islands first.

    Also, how do I remake the freeports? I've heard the base 4x4 was missing stuff anyway, is there a good guide somewhere that I should be reading? Thanks in advance!

     Do the same as above - there are four different freeports left in the new json with the ending "_E" 

     

    I replaced all island via texteditor (copy&paste) and apart from some bugs with some ressource everything looks quite OK and I really hope I don´t need to wipe.

    Doing it with the grideditor only might work as well, but be sure to have a copy of your servergrid.json! Changeing the number of islands might result in database-errors and then the server has to be wiped.

     

    A complete map should have 9 Powerstone-Islands (_PVE), 9 Unterwater-Trenches, a grid for the Kraken and the ice-cave-island. It´s a hell of work doing this from the scratch.
    I´ve used the 3*3 Mythic Seas-Map and modified it 😉

    Is it really necessary to wipe a private server? I´ve replaced the missing islands and everything seem to work quite OK - old treasure maps are trash but new ones work.

    The only problem is that some ressources have changed and some captions are wrong (sandstone vs. granite for example) - as some people even found ARK-ressources on the official servers I hope this problem will be fixed.

    Or will I have to wipe to get rid of that problem? 😞
