They said absolutely nothing concerning the really important questions like „When will the official servers be wiped ?“ in the latest Q&A

You guys should become politicians. You have clearly mastered the skill to say absolutely nothing in thousands of words.

Always funny how in these online survival games suddenly superheroes appear out of nowhere, slaying all bosses solo blindfolded and onehanded with a stick.... while us minor mortals fight with green pistols against Cobras. No sorry, what you describe is impossible. Solos and small groups are locked out of content like submarines, trenches and sea horses. As there is no content in the pipeline at the moment as it seems ? We are maybe ALL locked out of ATLAS soon.

Yes, please only allow them direktly on the beach and restrict them to 10 HP. That ensures, that 1000 Player mega tribes like Chukiki can farm & destroy them in one volley without any efforts. Thanks in advance !

Best Setup is start with : Your wood (e.g. Agedwood) for ANY wood Your Thatch for ANY Thatch and so on. As soon as you have received a different wood, thatch etc. : Reveived Wood for ANY wood Received thatch for ANY thatch .. and so on. By this you create an eternal circle of resources, as you will get your own agedwood back ...and send it out again

I can see that grapeshot send their programmers into new toys(Dolphin, seahorse) and useless mechanics (farms, markets) instead into the really important issues (Server LAG, game Bugs).

Right to the point. Unfortunately the devs just HATE small groups and solos with every part of their hearts. They just love huge megatribes and YouTubers. Message to the self-proclaimed solo superheroes in mythical armor and with mythical carbine, who solo one-handed Hydra, Kraken and God : It is NOT possible ! The average solo can never have gear above blue. So no sub and no squid for you, Mr. Solo And no Kraken ship. P.S. Thanks for the dolphin hint. I did not manage to tame one in diving suit close to the surface. Dont know if i want to gimp my spec just to tame something that is useless

Nice exploit

As the title says, i think that there is a maximum of trade routes that a market can have (8?), if i delete a request or an established route the market still gives the message „maximum trade routes reached for that market“ ? Destroying the market and placing a new one will certainly work, but are there cheaper solutions ? Thanks in advance.

Very good hint, thank you

Perfect offline raiding timing is the current meta from my experience.

Hmm..do you live in a parallel universe or are we not playing on the same official PVP server ? armored docks : Yes, thats a nice addition. These are only destroyed if you really piss off some megatribe as it costs time and efforts to destroy them. Unfortunately we dont have "armored bases" and thus we have to use a ship as base at the moment BECAUSE manned turrets are trash. Easily outranged by any shabby horse cart cannon+1 naked noob to fire them. Even if they fix that you still can take out ANY land base easily with a mortar. You can believe me, i had several clever placed superfortresses with several hundred overlapping turrets of different kind : Not even 5 minutes for a raider group. warehouses : nice for gold income but pure cannon fodder to passing sloops with 1 noob+1 cannon at the moment. Or 1 noob+1 cannon + 1 wooden foundation if they have no ship. Not worth it if they dont allow warehouse placement everywhere/give more HP/give defence farmhouses : destroy a part of the game. They act like tthe central banks : Print free money for everyone ! It is a pitty that the stone age people could not do this : Just print food instead of hunting/farming for it. Would have prevented the hunger in the world !

The reason for me to play the game is the free design of ships. My building brain power against the teen boy troll builing power..the result is obvious. Yes, i own an armored schooner, why not ? it is far from invincible, but still much stronger than the vanilla. I wont play Atlas with prefab ships, sounds very boring to me. Considering the new Kraken ship you see the direction of the game : 75 dried squids and a ton of gold : Devs are driving small groups and solo players away from the game

I tried with defence towers. Unfortunately they are outranged by player cannons, thus they are a complete waste, players take them out without efforts. Yes, i just replace the destroyed warehouse. But it is stupid, i would prefer either beeing able to defend it or more HP for the warehouse. Or destruction of the loot when it is shot down.

No, thats not PVP but offline raiding trash. I hope that they fix the warehouses to more HP or the possibility to place them away from the shore. By now warehouse placement is auto-fail.

I try to explain it in very easy words. a) you build warehouse and market b) you place large stone gates around c) some noob with 1 sloop and 1 cannon passes by d) noob shoots down the large stone gate and the warehouse e) game over, there in NOTHING you can do to prevent that. Solution : More HP to warehouses... MUCH more HP (like the market)

Well, at the moment i just secure the gold from my warehouse once a day. I no longer travel out to explore other islands and get different wood from there for better equipment. I dont farm ressources as my farmhouses do that for me. I not even dig for treasury, as it is easier just to use trade to build up a gold stock. The last once stuff remaining is building custom ships with intelligent armor\cannon design to smoke all these easy-play teen boys. Now it seems this last fun factor is taken away with the „new ship system“. The only good new stuff are the armored docks, the ships inside are my bases. See the point ? Land bases are a joke in PVP, my superfortresses did not even last 5 minutes versus small raiding teams. -NPC turrets are outranged, not only by mortars but also regular cannons - stone hp is a joke

Fully true to the point bro. I just play 20 minutes a day to clear warehouse and farms. Sad.

Devs, the idea is nice, but it is super annoying to tame them. The dolphins are way to fast to chase, even with max swimming speed skill. When you are close enough to press „e“ to feed it is nearly impossible due to the server lag (you press „e“ but nothing happens). Furthermore the dolphins swim away, after a while. It is impossible to tame the dolphins without the diving equipment as the sharks are looking for you without. Please make this easier !

Yeah is a tough PVP game, but you can hold your ground if you play smart. Much easier than in ARK where you have just the choice of being either a member of the alpha alliance or dead meat. @Wichtelman 4. is not true since we have the armored docks

PVE is for balless weaklings, but Chucksteaks suggestion works well on PVP. My warehouse provides about 5000 gold/day, you also can stock up with hoarding/treasure hunting grey maps. I do between 5000-10.000 Gold per load of hoarded maps. Schooner is 5.000 gold, armored dock 10.000, you will need both.

Basically a like the dolphin idea, they are just great in ARK... at least until Jeremy Stieglitz turned that game into a megatribe LOLstomping Muhahaha Eldorado. Lets see how we are supposed tho protect our dolphins from these chinese 3000 player clanlords For ships the armored docks work quite well, they are far from undestructable, but all of these "teenage fun society millennials" dont want to invest any work into anything.. thats good !

How many Kraken do i have to defeat solo beeing able to tame Dolphins ? How to protect my Dolphins ? A Stone Pen at the beach will certainly not stop the LOLstomping muhahahah authistic teenage boys ? Can we get an "Armored Dolphin Pen" maybe, so that these teenage authistic boys need at least some efforts to destroy other peoples work ?

ahh no. You can build whatever base you want with hatever number of turrets. It is a ruin after the first trollkiddie visit.

Well, i agree, PVP is the way to go, competition made mankind great (again). Your bases are still fodder for every teenage muhahaha troll kiddie passing by, as the HP of stone is a joke and player mortars/cannons outrange your NPC defence turrets. BUT as we now have armored docks you can live in safety on a boat that you park in the dock. You will have a tough time collecting the 10.000 gold for the dock plus the 5.000 for the schooner but then you have a secure mobile base as also your tames and sailors are safe inside the dock. It is still PVP, as soon as you leave the dock you are „outside in the jungle where everyone trys to eat you“. This transforms Atlas from a muhahaha lolstomping playground for teenage mega clan leaders to a decent PVP game.
