If it says only pistol, then it only applies to pistols 

So you basically want tames that cost 5 gold, that will do all your work for you?

Let me know if you do, so I can find a claim in the same area for a "we love atlas" pyramid

A fairly simple fix would be to make cooking meat an actual craft/recipe 

Has anyone tried to create an artificial anchor platform? As in building a layer of ceilings beneath the water supported by pillars? Obviously deep enough that a ship won't hit then, but shallow enough to mimic anchor height.

I have a rather extreme drop off on my section of land, in fact it's impossible to place a shipyard it's so shear. It makes anchoring more than a few ships very difficult 

Devs have weekends too

Make sure you are using the spyglass, looking through it will display a blue dome that represents discovery zones

I need none of those things  a weapon that isn't poop underwater would be nice though

I already have a similar suggestion

If it's yours, destroy the bottom pillar. If it's not yours and your on pve, your a little bit screwed

Storage can be answered by using resource chests instead of storage boxes, and crafting more mortar and pestle, they are really cheap

Everything above can be answered with 2 words. Common sense

Sorry, but terrible idea. 

Let's not forget the anchor symbol. Rotate the camera as your coming in just so you can see the anchor symbol popping up? Why?

I would like to see some more flags in the game. Not claim flags, but a few types of flags we can craft to decorate our buildings or ships. A regular size flag, that we could place on a flagpole, or perhaps attach to your masts. In addition, pennants! The small triangular flags, we could put them small poles and attach to towers, or perhaps even as a signal flag system on our ships. We could have them be paintable, or perhaps some default flags to show what we are doing. Like a combination of colored pennants that could indicate trading etc.

Depends on whether it was for the official music sheets, that give buffs. If it was just freestyle I imagine it would be fine, the buffs maybe not

Play pve? Much nicer over here

If they change permissions, it will gain a 7 day decay timer before your stuff can be demoed. If someone else claims the land, your stuff becomes theirs

Some way to make a small bird stand that can be free standing or attached to a wall that you can then attach a parrot to, in the style of mounting crew members to various positions

Mmm, not sold on a 2 week timer, that's insane. 1 week I can deal with, but let's see how it goes.

I disagree, having age based on level is a terrible idea. And what you fail to realise/mention is that FoY is not going to be the only solution to old age, it's simply the only option they have rolled out as of yet.

Tying aging into the servers passage of time is a good solution to the issue of quitting players bodies and buildings screwing up everyone else's gameplay

It is a feature, it just isn't implemented yet. Eventually once they have fleshed out and released the parenting feature and ironed out the bugs, I imagine they will enable old age death. I believe if you die of old age at that point, it will result in perma death of that character unless you have offspring to continue with

Im almost certain they mentioned in a stream the possibility of that being implemented (Im referring to shops outside freeports). But in any case, there are many freeports, whether they will all have seperate shops i dont know. Just keep on top of your repairs and dont linger

I whole heartedly approve of the age mechanic. As it is now, there is no way to deal with people that quit the game and yet sleep in a claimed zone. When the age mechanic is full implemented, this could result in a monthly rollover of quit-ing players. Eventually when player breeding is brought into play, the naked run at a FoY will not be needed unless your wanting to maintain the buff. My memory is hazy, but i believe there was something similar buff wise planned for bloodlines. In any case, i am definitely in favor of the age mechanic. If i did have one minor issue, it would be to slow down aging by a small amount, maybe make it so we age at .5x-.75x the current rate

The problem with this is that Treasure maps, largely by necessity (And FoY too if done that way) actually appear at pre-defined locations, to make sure you don't get dud locations that are under terrain geometry or stuff. This also means that if someone builds over the top of it, it's rendered inaccessible; this is already a problem on PvE especially, and if it were linked to such a crucial mechanic as the FoY you can be sure there'll be trolls out there who deliberately block access.

Blocking access is a really bad idea for those players, as the army still spawn when your close enough to the map location. Which means the army spawns within their building. Just make it so the said army do massively increased damage against structures and this concern wont be a problem

I have an idea that could work, but not with the current floating method they are using to prevent weight griefing. I would propose to make any section of ocean that is shallow enough to anchor in a no collision zone. It would obviously need to be considered carefully, and restrictions put in place but it would solve some issues. Maybe have it so that any ship that initiates the "collision" takes free-port levels of decay. As in whoever collides with a stationary ship takes decay damage if they anchor.

This would allow for temporary (a few hours) landing at a shore even if its completely surrounded by boats. Like i mentioned initially, this couldn't work with the floating measures they have in place (which i hope are temporary measures until they can do something else), but i feel it could work as the playerbase continues to grow. Thoughts?
