One thing you can do is open your map with paint and resave them in .jpg format. Must be the exact same name they are when you export them.

Exactly this. DO NOT CHANGE NAMES. I did and my map was always greyed out.

Since adding the files as the image shows mine always work now.

Wtf does early access have to do with anything?  Launch another server? 

And people like you that are like... they will never do anything about it... well ofcourse not in their player-base has people like you.

wtf does that have to do with any of this?

 

Launch 150 servers u mean...

Thank you for this. I shall update u on this later once added

Thanks both, thats great. 

All i need to know now is for whales

Hi. I was wanting to know how to add mermaids and whales to our server. Like the drake and others, im not sure if they spawn in range of certain islands or such.

Any info would be great.

So me and my friend were talking about the Flame Gun on sloops and a possible fix for this.

Why not make it so Flame guns do 0 damage to planks and only damage structures such as the ceilings and sails and other wooden structures.

This way ,Sloops sinking galleons is no longer an issue and it fits more to real life fire damage. Most boats from that era would be far too wet in the planks to take serious fire damage.

Firearms are not suppose to be a DPS weapon you use face to face with an enemy in prolonged battle while furiously reloading. 

Carbines are for longer range shooting. The DPS difference is infinite, since you are not hitting with the bow at the range you want to be using a carbine. 

Flintocks are for closer range, but you swap them out after you use the pre-loaded shot. They are for spike damage on the desired target before engaging with a bow or melee. 

The great benefit of firearms comes when you have multiple players and are coordinating your shots to spike specific targets. 

Like this. Very logical

Interesting. You clearly have more knowledge than me on firearms. 

My point being that the 2 foot or more length of an arrows with a metal head or in Atlas sharp flint has more kinetic energy to drive into a target.

So an 18mm bullet vs 2 foot arrow must have variable results due to speed and target density. However, as i stated, my main point is the kinetic energy transfer from arrows vs bullets.

due to kinetic energy though, a bow will always do more damage than a gun. Especially against ball bearing bullets.

Just FYI: the ATLAS grid editor tool has dozens of islands. So there is a lot to explore.

All-in-all, I think everyone here has a point since all of us have different game styles and reasons for playing. 

So respect to all of ya, hope u can get enjoyment out of the game as it changes.

Fast forwarding through a map so big it takes hours to travel. the main aim is not spending hours building but rather exploring and travelling.. it seems.

We all have jobs... tired of this lame excuse... you're lazy... thats all it is.

 

If the community is this dumb to think that top tier ship should be able to be farmed in a couple of hours then this game surely will die.

I'm lazy is such a dumb thing to say mate. We have a difference of opinion on this matter. I am happy to state my view point. 

I will also not engage in assumptions about mine or your's play style or ability. 

Question: What is the aim of the game?

If it is to sail and pirate then 2x would encourage that and make it easier for solo players or small companies.

if the aim of the game is to make it like having a job then keep it at 1x. Some players have jobs and lives to live and therefore this is a nice balance in favor of that.

Just adding an obvious point in here.

Whilst the game is still in development and damagin through walls is not a good thing, predators in real life are very damaging to humans. 1 wolf would kill a full grown man for sure.

So you could imagine it as, not something broken, but as a real life counterpart to the wolves of today.

Also, ranting post about how broken a creature in the game WILL not get it removed. But useful info will help im sure.

My Ship was stuck in deep water outside my base. The NPC crew would not listen to my commands or anything.

So to be able to move again, you need to manually lower or raise the anchor. (This seems bugged as the ship animation shows the anchor to down when it is in fact raised, and visa versa.

Once anchor is raised (might look lowered) just set sail yourself and head into sea. 

The sum is, you need to manually move the ship without NPC's at this point.

Also manning the rudder seems to make sails retract. but at least u can move the ship from a certain spot if wind is with you.

UPDATE: Seems npc's bug it. if u assign an npc to the wheel and then remove them they bug the ship out. simply run out of render range and back. should fix it.

Please add more if u know it.

Agree with this

I have my NPCs on my Ship and they are not listening to commands since last patch. Prior to patch, no problem. After patch, ignorant bunch.

Both of you are right. You can use a square from the official map, in which case you need two things:

1) Use the map editor to either add a freeport or just choose a freeport.

2) Count the islands on the live map viewer for that grid.

 

OR, and this would be more advisable, do as Kreliz said and make your own. Then you can add the freeport island and as many other islands as you want to the grid (within reason)

How do u add a freeport?

such as ?
