So all this shouting for one claim per person/company. Here is some of my rambling thoughts on what you are asking for. Claims are reduced to one per player/company as you ask, then all the land is claimed and built on and you have your bit of land with buildings and shipyards. Here is what happens next, you start building your shipyard and go for a Brig which is 20k + of a lot of resources, you gather and get your brig built along with other people then you go out to sea and a ship of the dammed sinks your Brig. Upon your return to start building another brig you find that all the resources are not respawning because of all the buildings and now you can't build or sail anywhere. Add to that the fact that you may have built a bank to "tax" your land and find that with no resources on your small claim you can't tax anything and your bank is a useless building that you may as well demolish. Thus does the game become a case of scramble for the small number of resources that spawn and in PVE the game dies a horrid slow death and in PVP people get their bases destroyed by anyone that wants to build and new players get constantly wiped off the map so the bigger companies can fight each other. This current claim system may not be perfect but it is in response to the problems that were seen on official ARK servers where building spam to suppress resource spawns and control land was common so that the big tribes could maintain their positions as ALPHA TRIBES and everyone not in those tribes agreed they were bad for the game. Just my thoughts mind you

Switched map regions (read server) and my UI has returned.

As for number 10 on your list. Does not the company rank structure allow you to set rank groups up and then set activation and use ranks on things like ships to prevent people you don't want in your company driving your bigger ships? I'm pretty sure our company leader can set doors and buildings etc but as I'm not him I can't see for certain.

You do know level 51 is not the cap right? Respec's are likely limited to once per level as they are on official in ARK so tread carefully when hitting that respec button as you may be stuck with a spec you don't want to keep long term until you unlock another level increase.

The PVE claim protection seems very random right now, Not much is known about exactly how it is supposed to work and we have had claim flag's be put down when we are sat in the area next to the flag. Some think it's three days when offline only Some think it's three days from the new flag going down no-one knows for sure and we can't test anything as we don't know how it is supposed to work which makes me sad.

blueprints are not about crafting the base item they are all about the additional stats and the upgrades that allow you to customize the items in question. Think long term goal not short term gain and "oh I have everything and now I have no reason to play."

When an animal agro's you if it see's you run into a building it will attack the building even if it can not damage the building. if an animal is in combat with you and looses line of sight with you and is near your buildings it will attack the building as it is flagged as yours. some aggressive animals may hit your buildings when attempting to kill other animals. generally animals will wonder around your buildings not attacking unless they agro you so if you get animal agro stay away from your buildings.

in your inventory screen press G (i think) Failing that it's the ! in the speech bubble on the left of that screen.

I just had a look in the Defaultinput file and could not see anything connected to buildings. It is possible it is coded into the item itself and not possible to change. A screenshot of someone else's options would not help you much as for example I have adjusted them considerably due to my preferences so your best bet will be to hit the default keybinds and go from there.

Have several Stone Water Reservoir linked together with pipes in a row. Come out from the side of each one with a single irrigation pipe over a crop plot in a fish bone type of pattern over crop plots Let it rain and the reservoir's will fill up irrigating the crop plots with water. Remember to build a wall at least two high around the whole thing so wild animals do not trash your crop plots as they are as strong as wood and leave the entire thing open to the sky. This is what I use for growing stuff for cooking. The soil in your crop plot is determined by where you place it and not all crops can be grown in all soil types oh and do not put any of the crop plots on foundations as most things do not grow in rock

Sail paintings work just fine you need to get the right layout and size for the PNG file. Hit your sail with a paintbrush and go around the outline by hand with a color and save it. This will give you the outline of the sail itself. download and use ARKPntEditor save it as a file you can edit. Using your preferred graphics program draw what you want on your sail and save it. Again use ARKPntEditor to convert your file to a PNT file and move it into the mypaintings folder in the Atlas folders. You should be able to find the sail painting when you hit it with a paintbrush. This is how we did our sails.

The serious lack f resources is a big big problem in the game right now. Anywhere there has been claims and buildings placed there is a chance that your local resource spawns got messed up. Some of this has been caused by certain buildings by the looks of it but the Dev's don't seem to want us to know which buildings we need to remove and rebuild as all they say is "fixed resource spawns" even though it is blatantly not fixed if you wonder around the servers. From Jat's Twitter Very likely, we adjusted quite a few large structures so that they weren't blocking when we were investigating the resources not spawning We don't know which buildings were affected so we can't even begin to tell if their changes have actually worked. I mean come on let us have all the information about these patches and changes you are making, They have a monstrous pool of people that will by dint of the fact they are playing the game will naturally test and say if something is not working or feels wrong (look at the skill point change) so they should use the community like a great big pool of testers whena change is made this early into the game as hey people are going to try and break shizz and crash servers by overloading them etc.

you know you get more skill points per level at higher levels. This means you can't get the advanced skills early on without sacrificing in other area's of the skill tree. Your Max level is supposed to increase as you explore the map and make discoveries. So the more you travel about and do stuff the more your level increases and the more skill points you get making it less painful to get the high end skills.

The underground pipe is also an intake pipe.

This is not just one Freeport having this issue it is affecting most of the game and is being looked into and probably requires a server patch of which there is one on the cards tonight.

There are four game worlds all of which have separate N7 Sectors of the map, all of these are different servers making it a potential problem on one of four servers. Maybe letting the dev's know which game world you are experiencing the problem on would help.

seeing as the game world is a large group of servers you need to supply which game world and which region you are attempting to join.

on the left of your screen is the little chat bubble with the ! in it. Click on that for your tool tips to be switched back on. There is a key binding for it but I can't remember it off the top of my head and am not in game right now to check.

To get better than primitive quality items you need a Blueprint or to get lucky and loot the pre-made item. I believe the best way to get these is from shipwrecks/flotsam or the golden age area's but I could be wrong as it's still very early n the game and we are still figuring a lot of stuff out.

Here is a link you may find useful for resources. https://atlas.gamepedia.com/Resources Where a crafting skill says it needs sap any sap subtype will do. Where a crafting skill says Honey it specifically wants Honey. Hope this helps you.

The "Intake Pipe" has to go in fresh water. If you are not able to build near fresh water you are forced to use water storage that will fill with the rains.

Have fun trying to make cannon's with raw metal
