Athena Starbuck

I play PVE. I finally got all the 9 gems. I play with mods. When I get to the center grid, the game crashes. I still play with original ships, no modular. I did research, I know I'm also suppose to go underwater and find 9 essences? I think that's what they're called. I have not created the industrial structures or the doom/dead structures. Also in my research, when I get to the center square, I'm suppose to fight a huge kraken. Since one of the updates, the caption changed to large whale.

Is my version of Atlas outdated? I'm always seeing the update screen show up. So I should be updated. Has one of my mods caused an issue? What is suppose to happen if I enter the center square without the gems, surely the developers don't just allow the game to crash. 

I thought I'm suppose to fight the kraken, then go get the essence, then go to the ice dungeon and kill the giant snow beast. Once that's done, I can create the dead/doom/Egyptian temple/doom temple, etc. Also, about a year ago, I saw the signs for the stargate looking portals. I followed them, but there was nothing there. Then weeks later, no more signs. Was I suppose to download the game again? Was I not affected by the wipes?

I spent 3 or 4 years playing this char. I don't want to lose it. I posted a message on the forum about creating a second char, so I can start from scratch and finally get to the maw, but no one replied.

Anyone have a clue why the game crashes when I enter the center square.

I have 2 computers with Atlas on both. I use 1 computer to play Atlas. I copy the save folder to an external storage, as a back up. I've played Atlas for years, and learned to survive crashes and bugs, by restoring the saved folder.

I use computer 2 to play copies of old saved Atlas folder.

I play Atlas by login to Steam like the rest of players. My question is this, If I "Delete Singleplayer Data" from the Atlas menu, will I be deleting my character from online and not be able to login on and play on computer 1?

I have spent years playing Atlas, I don't want to lose all that content. But I'm curious to create a new character. Anyone have an idea? 

I guess I can create a new login in steam with new email, and have it as a second account. It's just that I have allot of mods installed. I don't want to start from scratch and add the mods to a second account.

Basically, I have my char in PVE as a single player.  I've played that char for years and want to keep it. I want to create a second character but don't know how. If I delete the data from the Atlas menu, will I be deleting my old character?

Hi,

For a while now, I've noticed my C8, my home grid box, is acting weird. The water level goes too high/low. When I'm sailing, my boat looks more like a submarine than a boat. The water lever covers all of the boat except the sails. The floating chests, I forget what they're called, or floating above the water. And my character experiences a lot of lag. I feel like I'm programming my character, rather than controlling it. But when I leave C8, the game goes back to normal. 

Update.

I left C8. I moved my ships and tames, and settled somewhere else. But now something weird is going on. I can only fill my waterskins from barrels, that are located in the same grid box, I created the barrel and the waterskin. So I can fill my waterskin from a water source like a pond or a lake. But if I try from a barrel that is filled, it won't work. I have to create the waterskin in that grid to work.

Can anyone suggest a fix?

Hi,

1. Can someone make a unicorn mod. I want to tame a unicorn (true white).

2. Is there a way to make a mod that clones or copies a tame. Or makes a template of a tame. Like let's say, I have a favorite tame. And copy the tame. Then give it to someone else. Then they have the same tame with the same name, look, and stats. Now, I've seen a mod that allows someone to put their tame in a flask/bottle. When you look at it, it shows a description of the tame. Shows the name, sex, color, etc. How about a mod, that lets you type in details like name, sex, color, etc, then press execute, and now you have a tame that matches the stats you put in. That way you've copied the tame without actually creating a file to is transferred to another player. Just dial-up a clone.

Ok, I have a request. Is there a way to copy a tame or clone or copy? Lets say I have a favorite tame. But I want to start PVE from scratch or on another computer. But I want my old tame. Is there a way to ID, use that ID to recreate the tame. I don't mean the same type of animal. I mean literally, the same tame. Or I lost a tame or the tame died, is there a way to find the original code, and bring the tame back.Or lets say, I have a tame in front of me, and want to copy it. Is there a way to do so? Preferably with a cheat code or using the Admin Menu? I see commands like SpawnActorTame.

Hi,

I play single player.  As the title says, I go thru the loading process. I eventually reach the player screen, where I see my character health, my item bar at the bottom of the screen, etc. The music plays, and just before I see my character and where she is, the game crashes. I've already opened a ticket and provided logs. But I don't get any real response, and I'm still not able to play. 

So while I wait for Atlas to do something, I'm trying to figure things out for myself.

In the past, I've had two main issues that were eventually resolved. One was resolved because of help I found online. So I'm hoping I can find help again from advanced players.

I have Atlas installed on another computer for troubleshooting purposes. When I move an older version of the Atlas save folder to the other computer, it works. But that version is a year or so older. I copy the current version of the saved folder from the main computer, and the game crashes in the same way.

So my question is, how can I update all the progress I've made from one saved folder to another? Can I migrate specific files from the saved version that will give me back most of the progress I've made. For example, what I've built. The tames I have. Or is there a file in the older version of the saved folder, I can copy to the newer version, that will make the game not crash.

Hi,

Today, I was playing a few hours. Eventually, I land on an island, and I start to explore. The game crashes. I start it up again, i keep playing, it crashes again. I try again, I get a message about my game not saved and not synced in the cloud. I've never gotten a message like that before. It also says, I can play, but if I do, it may affect my game. So I press cancel. I wait a few minutes, and try again. I click play. It crashes again. I restart the PC, start the game, same result. I try to login on another computer that has an older version of the game. It updates, and I login, it loads. My character is on an older ship, where I left off months ago. I figured, at least my character still exists. I go back to my gaming PC, the game crashes again, just before I can see my character.

Basically, I start the game, I reach the login screen, pick singleplayer/host. I click play single player. I wait for the game to load. I reach the game screen with my overlay. The music changes. It's about to show my character view. It says loading... Then kicks me off, and back to the Atlas globe. I get the text screen with script. And I'm completely out and back to the desktop.

I have opened a ticket. Maybe that will cause results.
