uaf

Where is this "durability is what counts" coming from? Anybody tested this? 

Set home region on a freeport, teleport back on a bed, go in the water and re-step back on island, you should get the discovery then. (That's how it worked for me)

So.. don't settle in desert regions ?  

You are literally crying about environment.. Next you will go in polar area and cry that the temperature is too low.. 

Ah no, could be mistaken.

Found only this "Water Barrels now correctly gain water when unstasising, if the grid has experienced rain in that time"

So it might have been something they changed during that time that was broken. Probably the lack of rain in desert areas was not registering with the barrels  

Don't argue with the messenger  Just told you what I remembered from the PTR patch notes. I think they were added in the discord channel

AFAIK, the water filling up over time was the bug, which was fixed in the latest PTR patches.. (Remember seeing something related to this, that they would no longer fill when in stasis)

Not sure they will patch this as it was a bug to begin with  

Yup, seems to be buggy (submitted a bug report as well).

They seem to not take food when you press "E" even though it says "Press E to feed"

If you read the captain's log where they are mentioned, you will notice there is a "will come later after the mega-update" phrase. So they were never planned for this update, but later ones.

maybe stealing works after pve expiration?, maybe go check and report bugs? these form posts in general are useless

Look at your flag and you will see the timer. Read patch notes.

It is for testing purposes as previously mentioned

There is a mechanic listed in patch notes, PVE lasts 6 hours. It will be 12 days for when the version will become live.

Seems to be some sort of 'activity' timer. As long as you are online you are in PVE, after said amount of time of inactivity, others can claim your stuff like in PVP

We have mineral oil on our island in K3, so it's misinformation.

you would keep both

You can claim as many islands as you want as long as the sum of their points is max 250 (checked ingame, thought I saw 200, but it's 250). So basically you can claim 3 islands worth 80 points + 1 island worth 10 points, 3x80+10=250.

However, be advised that you need to pay upkeep for each island

Those are you maximum island points (aka how many islands you can claim, the sum of all island points under your control)

you need gold to claim an island, you can see the required amount when you try to place the flag

As stated on the discord, the PTR rates are 6x and everybody will have access to all skills starting from level 1 (including the submarine)

"We're still going to be some hours out guys. The team expect to be generating a release candidate in around 1hr - 1.5hrs, that itself will take another few hours and then it'll need to be verified and released. At a minimum we're looking at 4-5ish hours, but possibly it could be more than that" - Jat

Latest ETA is "PTR: MORNING - 5TH OF APRIL"

Yup, they upped slots to 130 and decreased mats required (should be in patch notes somewhere)

Making a thread for those that don't watch discord. Since our community managers are the worse at spreading information via all their channels.

"PTR isn't up yet but we're working on getting it ready. It'll either be up late tonight (PST) or early-morning (like in the wee hours of the AM in PST). When we're confident we're a few hours out, we'll let ya know." - Jat

So in EU time, most likely in the morning of 5th.

10 People, 10 interpretations of news/patch notes/infos

Nobody actually bothers to read though.. 

It's simple as "In relation to our Public Testing Realm overall, we’re planning to get multiple smaller clusters online which will incorporate the three game modes as well as everything else listed in the patch notes. Players can expect higher rates to facilitate fast progression and testing of the new systems along with the fact these servers are likely to wipe as needed." - quote from captain's log.

They won't be "testing only one version"

Yup, it would most likely get delayed again

According to ingame message, the mega-patch / wipe is announced for 8th March. Seeing the PTR would be 1 week earlier, would it get launched on the 1st of April ? (fools day?  )

The irony in this thread.. 

"Remove PVE, if you like PVE go play private servers"  What a waste of human space.

Literally saying to remove PVE so players that like PVE can go play on a PVE server.. so.. keep PVE server ?  

Afterwards it's just people telling their opinion and the OP saying "no, you suck I don't agree with your opinion but you have to agree with mine".

Seriously.. enough with these types of threads, everyday a few popup on the forums with "I have ideas that if you don't listen to the game will die", "I have big ideas that nobody thought of that will save this game", etc..

Every poster commenting about the PVE claim flag seems to NOT understand what has changed.

A island owner will have a limited time to be able to demolish recently placed structures. They won't come 10 years later to demolish all you will ever build. Understand these changes and understand this is to prevent the pillar / floor spamming that is happening on servers like Lawless. Owners will have the job to keep the island clean / resources unblocked / etc. 

Stop getting triggered by all the words you don't like and learn to understand a phrase without getting particular words out of it as you please.

Do people even read all the notes? Or just see certain keywords and get triggered by everything these days ?

As somebody already mentioned before, there is a timer (that is all there is to it), from when you place a structure down that the island owner can come and demolish it. (Seeing this is PVE, it will probably more then 24hrs (unlike the 12hrs on PVP). Eg: You place a foundation down and the island owner has X amount of time to come demolish it or its there forever.
