Caveat

Ark allows LAN connectivity and Atlas does not. That connection functionality does not exist. I can't speak to whether it's intentional or not. I was not able to get NAT reflection/loopback working with my router which left me where my friends could connect to my server, but I could not. I did find a work around that works for me, thought might not be available to everyone. If I initiate a VPN connection, and then launch my client, it does seem to successfully route my traffic out over the VPN tunnel, and then back in through my NAT to my server that's sitting on my desk. If you have access to a VPN, give it a try and see if that helps.

When last I checked it was a HUGE difference between ice and salt. You need to make sure there is no salt in the bags though. If there is salt and ice in the preserving bag, the salt preserves the ice and the ice does nothing. Empty the bag, put the ice in and see if it's different. The timers went WAY up for me.

This feat is not working properly, or perhaps has an issue with either 2x rates and/or Hand Harvesting. It appears to cancel the additional materials from one or both of these buffs. Gathering a metal node with full spec into Hand Harvesting on 2x weekend gathered 800ish metal. Triggering the feat and harvesting a metal node gathered 400 metal. Instead of doubling the amount gathered, it cut it in half.

Clearly not gonna be May. July/August is my guess.

We were also disappointed with this seemingly unnecessary change. I'm not sure what it was that they were "fixing" but it seems to be too extreme of an adjustment. A 30 second delay is huge. I don't have any issue at all with adding a delay to the Red Alert, but I do think 30 seconds is much too long. If they didn't want us to be able to switch them from left to right, or front to back, or one weapon type to another, they wouldn't have given us the option. Giving us the option, but making it nearly useless is pretty pointless. It should be somewhere in the 10-15 seconds range. That would still make it useful (especially in PvE situations) while also still giving an advantage to crewing all stations from a time response point of view. Do you want to run fewer crew or have faster response time? The idea is fine, the execution is the problem.

Large Hatches and large sloped hatches, oh and the wood ones should be usable on boats. An Atlas version of the Chem Bench would also be nice. Hopefully, the new gate works for all tames.

I've also had this happen half a dozen times in the last couple weeks placing the new small gateways.

If you're placing beds for others to port to to get DP's, do them another favor and put a chair next to the bed. Port in, sit in the chair, and you get the discovery. Otherwise, dying and respawning again will get you the DP.

Aw hell, you're right. I thought I had checked it after the update, but that must have been before. It is not 23.5 anymore. The 34-35 does not appear correct either. It looks like it's something closer to 40.

It's 23.5 DP's per level. It has not changed.

When demolishing a non-ship/core type structures on a non-fully-anchored boat, resources will not be returned to you. This will be indicated to you via the demolish HUD. The boat must be fully anchored to get resources back for non-ship/core type structures. I have no issue with the above change other than you receive no materials back during ship building because your boat has not been launched and can not be anchored. I get what was trying to be fixed here, but maybe it should only kick in AFTER the boat has been launched and should not apply when still in the shipyard.

Or at least remove the "Press E to set Guild Rank Options". No one wants to do that with a keypress. Ever. Shouldn't be an option let alone the default one. It should only be on the radial menu.

It's not all that different from how it works now....

It sure would be nice if Cobra's couldn't magically go through any wall.

Well, technically, the bookshelf was ready and complete ages ago.
