Found it :S please delete.

Does anyone have the json file they can link me to download. I am trying to work off that 0,0 but I can't locate the json file anywhere. I wanted to use the four generic islands then just add in my own through the editor. If anyone can help please do. Thanks!

#2 - I own a Nitrado Server, just one and recently downloaded the map editor and threw about 13 more island in the map space. I didn't see any issues. We had about 7 people on at the time and no one was having problems.

Take the time to upload this to youtube with the exact instructions and get a million hits GG, other than that, surfin through a 7 hour video sucked. Glad you shared regardless but hot damn..

So you guys "release" a game, rake in a metric shotload of money, everything turns out to be broken and you can't fix it so you just call it a night and go to bed? Is this going to be a normal thing when you are unable to fix something going forward? Just throw in the towel and head to bed?

I'm pretty sure they aren't robots. If you don't like the game you don't have to play it.

I'm pretty sure it's just by being near it, but I'm not 100% sure

I was just near "Waterfall Bridge" and it unlocked. Just walked up to it.

Wonder if this works on wildlife...

Hello I was wondering if anyone knows for sure if it's possible to create an unofficial server and how would I do that?

Does it cost anything and how much then?

Thanks.

So far no one knows how to get one up and running, you can purchase one from a 3rd party host at this time. But No guides or clear information has been posted (that I know of) about how to go about doing so.

Every game has a group like this though best thing to do is just ignore it and support the game the best we can.

Its obvs its not perfect (lol) but we will get there anyone who was here for the ark and dark and light launches will understand this too

I own both, I agree completely lol, Love both of them though.

We have the 1 server option with 10 players on nitrado, it's literally just 1 grid it seems.  Need to upgrade to 4 servers (so like $61 CDN) for 4 grids.  

We're trying to figure out how to make the map we have into a non-freeport if that's possible.   Since we only have the 1 grid right now and it's a freeport our entire server is literally just a freeport and we're capped at level 8 lol.

Either we don't know what we're doing or there's a serious issues with that way this is setup.

I don't even get the prices, Ark servers are like $15 for 70 people with a map that's fully covered by land/mountains/forests/etc, these grids are apparently the same size as Ark so sure 1 server = 1 grid, but then why is it only 10 people instead of 70 for the same price?  And then the devs were saying how it'll be easy to run these because it's mostly water, hence how they're able to get so many people.  

Capped a level 8, thats concerning. The price comment is concerning too.

I dont like it, I dont play it. I'm not part of this generation thats "Dont like it? Let me go online and express feelings so everyone will know". I'm sick of the complaining. I agree with OP.

But what does rather large mean.. 

if you pick the size of any ark map, for this game that would be way too small.

Wish I could give you a better idea, just don't have a way of doing that at the moment.

I have yet to login to my personal server since I am at work for the next 4 hours, but from what some other co-workers tell me, it's rather large and there are islands that are visible in the distance.

I have a 4 server cluster up and running through Nitrado, that is updated to 5.0...But I'm having trouble getting the island editor 

 

I have looked under steam TOOLS, the root folder itself and on the Nitrado site (Besides google fu'ing it) and I have not located any files/editors available at this current time. I know they said they planned on making guides for this over the next few days but I have seen nothing so far.

I actually have no idea.  I am a volunteer moderator; I don't work for the company directly.

I do know that once it goes out, it is still up to the vendors, such as Nitrado, to push it out to all of the servers.  That sometimes can take a while, as they don't seem to do them all at once; based on what I have seen when admining multiple private servers.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate the quick reply. Guess I will be patient and wait.

Many MMOs don't leave your body in game when you log out. Seems like at least for PVE, the body should not remain. Maybe for PVP (not my thing), it could stay just 15 minutes.

The snoring at the freeports is ridiculous.

I have yet to see this, but it sounds hilarious. A issue none the less.

I hope they will include an offline mode like in Ark so we can play while waiting for their servers or for future problem they will have through the development!

I was kind of disheartened by this when I was at the main menu for the first time. If there was one similarity I would of wanted from ARK, Single player would of been it.

If the server you are trying to connect to is still on 4.1, you won't be able to do that.

I am on 5.0 on client, and waiting for my server to update to 5.0, as right now, I cannot reconnect.

How fast do you guys push out server updates to 3rd party hosts? Just curious since I run a server on Nitrado. I've been restarting it, but no luck with an update.

I was able to get on the main servers this morning as well as my private server. Can you provide a screenshot of whats happening or the error message you are getting?

I've come to the realization that cooking is a major part of this game, which means I'm doomed since everything I survive off of is frozen or was frozen at some point. Appreciate your post.

Good news, so if nitrado allows multiple separate server boxes linked, then theres hope for the rest of us once devs release files

Well I wish you luck.

So you have 4 servers. One tile per server? But the key question is if you want for example 25 tiles, you would need more then one dedicated server box, and you would have to link them so its seemless transferring

Correct, Nitrado allows you to do this.

go to your configuration page and just change the user/password. From there, you can pretty much change most things in the game with commands. Seems to be mainly the same commands in Ark. 

Everything is up and working as of this morning, thank you for your reply though!

Look, if you are angry, you are angry. Nothing I am going to say is going to change that. What it should be and what it is are often two different things. So do you want to sit here all day an rage or go find something that doesn't increase your blood pressure.

 

It is your choice if you want to be optimistic about the patch and the future of the game but running around throwing shade doesn't help anything. It is like someone honking their horn in the middle of a traffic jam.

 

Hey. Buddy. We are all in this together.

Amen.

To report this morning at around 8:30am CST my server is now up and working. It's running version 4.1 - No lag, can connect right away. Very large space. It's pretty nice.  Thank you for for your replies I appreciate you!

Edit: I just want to add that the way things are being handled to resolve issues and patching are pretty timely on both ends.
