As the title reads. I'm trying to set the spawn island for my non dedicated server I'm running with just me and my friends. I didn't want to use the full 15x15 map. That's just too big for 3-4 people playing on. So I found this map that I'm wanting to use. A nice 3x3 grid to run. https://www.survivalservers.com/forum/index.php?/topic/6848-3x3-the-world-of-zion-powerstones-kraken/ I've gone into the map editor to make sure the islands that are supposed to be freeport spawn islands, are. One has the spawnpointregion override set to 0, the other 1. The grid is set as the home region. I keep seeing talk of needing to run a Redis file? But I can't seem to find this anywhere and don't think it's used for non dedicated? Any tips or solutions would be greatly appreciated. I've been at this for a couple hours now.

Honestly I side with Nari on this. The mechanics are just fine and dandy to me. But my issue is, they aren't ready for the whole legacy mechanic yet. So they shouldn't turn on the aging until they are ready. This way you have a choice. Do you let your character die and you move to the child to carry on the legacy? Or do you seek out the fabled fountain of youth and continue living on. And honestly, if people want to whine and quit the game. Don't let the door hit ya on the way out. Means I and others can expand our claims better for our tax offices for those of us that enjoy the game. You don't like the changes? Don't whine, and threaten. Give feedback. They nerfed elephants and just tonight they made animals that I thought were garbage wastes of time being relevant with how much carry weight they now have. I have an elephant with 4k weight, a rhino with 5k weight. I hated the rhino and thought it a waste of time. Now I'll actually use the damn thing.

I mean I'm fine with those mechanics. I think from a roleplay standpoint it's kinda cool. Moving on to playing the child of this great adventurer, setting off to follow in their footsteps and complete the legacy. My issue and concern though is company management and claim territory. When my first character dies, and I go on to playing my offspring. What happens to my company and the claim flags I have down?

So as I understand it. at 100 years old, we're supposed to die and create our offspring that carries on the legacy. Does anyone have any idea what exactly happens with all that? I'm fine if I was reset a few levels. But not so fine if I have to start over at lvl 1. What about my company, the claim flags I've placed down? As it stands. I'm not entirely happy with my character model and currently 94 years old. A couple guys from my company wants to use the fountain of youth so we're setting sail for it. If dying and remaking my character model to my standards is going to cause too many issues as I'm also the holder of the company and the majority of my company's claim flags. I'd rather just use the fountain of youth to avoid the issues. Anyone have any idea what happens? The debuff I can deal with and while it's fairly brutal. I'm fine with the debuffs. Just also feel it should provide an intelligence buff as well.

So far I'm just seeing it with my fine quality sword. If I log out, it unequips the sword. And upon logging back in I have to equip a normal sword before it will let me swap out to my fine quality sword. Obvious I have the required skills to use the fine quality sword. But unless I carry around a spare common sword I can't log back into the game and equip my fine sword.

I'm guilty of racism myself. So I'm not going to complain about racism . But more, I want to see the segregation of EU, NA, and Asia. Even with an empathetic look on it, is it really fair to make Chinesse players have to play with really high ping? And like I said in the OP, even if setting a server in China is a hassle, it's a lot easier to set up in Japan or Korea. Hell might even be easier setting it up in North Korea

And I'm glad that saying things like that makes you feel so much better about yourself. Good for you. Pat yourself on the back, and let's return to the topic of the discussion and not the ramblings of someone that doesn't know what they're rambling about.

I just want to keep the discussion on topic and not ranting about boycotting or wether or not racist comments are legal or not in a forum or online game setting. ^.^ I'm all about constructive discussion and Plus the fact that the point I'm making from the article I linked is that the Devs believe this will just blow over like it does in Ark. But because of the scale of Atlas and how much larger it is, trying to ignore it and hoping it just goes away is going to kill the game.

Rex go make your own thread. I posted this topic for discussion about how to make the game fair and equal for everyone and not having to deal with any player, chinesse or no, openly exploiting bugs and glitches to steal land that according to the devs, should be protected.

Did you even read the point I was bringing with this thread? Just stop before you derail this further.

You mean the founding fathers that wrote the constitution? So that doesn't make any sense, unless of course you're British, then that makes a lot more sense.

So today I came across a little news article that I'm sure many of us have seen. This one here. https://www.pcgamer.com/racism-in-atlas-becomes-a-problem-as-western-and-chinese-players-clash/?ns_campaign=article-feed&ns_mchannel=ref&ns_source=steam&ns_linkname=0&ns_fee=0 I gave it a good read and agree with a number of points here. The racism is toxic and needs to stop. That said however, there is one major point made here that is flawed. Where Mister Woodhouse says this. "With the ARK subreddit, we noticed that these things come and go in cycles," MisterWoodhouse says. "If there was a dominant tribe that was taking over a server and there was issues of glitching or duping, that would bombard the subreddit for a couple of weeks. But then it would die down. I think we're going to see that in Atlas. Mister Woodhouse, in this instance, couldn't be any further from the truth. It dies down in Ark cause it's only a single server. And what happens is the people overrun by the dominate tribes leave that server and drift over towards unofficial servers that actually have admins that care about their community and the fairness of the players. This will not be the case with Atlas. Because Atlas isn't multiple official servers you can just hop between if things aren't going your way in the server you're in. It's one big world. With up to 40k players logged into 1 server cluster at a time. The small scale incidents of chinesse or dominant tribes are far greater amplified here. I play on the NA PVE official server. And while thankfully I don't have to worry about waking up the next day, logging in, to find all my ships sunk and my base destroyed and ransacked. I do have an even bigger issue I have to deal with. The fact that even now after all the changes done so far to the claim system on PVE. I have literally had instances of as soon as I finished putting a claim flag down and I claim the land, a chinesse player has come right behind me within an hour and started to contest the claim using proxy servers to confuse the timers. And they admitted to being able to do this. Sadly I do not have the screenshots of the conversation. However, from my own personal experience in many survival games and any game that did not allow or enforce region locking. Chinesse players have always had an advantage over the NA players due to higher ping making them almost impossible to hit in pvp, and in pve instances, always found ways to circumvent game mechanics to screw over NA players at every turn. So, Mister Woodhouse. This problem may very well die down. After the chinesse have driven off all the players from Atlas cause the reason I don't go to an unofficial server is because I want to have the full 15x15 grid before me to set sail across. But because I'm constantly having to play dirty right back in order to protect my holdings in PVE of all places, it's only a matter of time before I say screw it and leave a game that I have already sunk 222 hours in as of this post. Even if setting up a server in China would be a huge pain in the net to establish. If I'm not mistaken, WildCard's parent company is based in China, and even failing that, you can far more easily set up a server for the asian playerbase in Korea or Japan. Unofficial servers are not going to have the same scale cause no one is going to be able to have their own full 15x15 server, its too expensive for a single person to afford, and I've got plenty of disposable income myself and can't afford it. And the official servers are slowly being taken over by a playerbase, no one from north america wants playing with them. So the end result will be, at the game's current course, the PVE server will be fully controlled and played by the Chinesse players and no one from NA will play the game anymore. I leave PVP out cause I do feel that the NA PVP players will rise up and wipe the chinesse completely off the map. But that's just going to push more to PVE, the one's in my grid already have claimed to have come from PVP and gotten wiped out there. So GrapeShot Studios. What are you going to do about this problem? It isn't going to just go away as Mister Woodhouse states. The scale here is WAY bigger than Ark. All I can do on a PVE server to slow these guys down is try to lure alpha predators towards them. Since they don't seem to know how to defend themselves. Or I have to rush to whatever of my territory they are contesting and camp there waiting for them to get bored, which they don't. And slowly loss what land I have left. Even though my claim is SUPPOSED to be protected.

Yeah that works out well. And when raised it provides a reload buff. So it should be rather expensive to make imo for balance

Yeah. That's an option but for me as an RP aspect. I'd raise the colors up when engaging into combat

Let us have the ability to have our flag at the top of our ship's mast. It could be even cooler if it was made to be a special ability in the captaineering tree. Yelling out, "Hoist the colors!" As your flag is raised up and the crew gets a moral buff for faster reload speed on cannons

This isn't Peter Pan either. Get over the whole Tic Toc Croc bullshit. He attacks captain Hook not the ship.

Is this funny guys? Cause waking up to finding out that your schooner is sunk to a single croc going after the NPC crew on the ship isn't funny at all. The ship was anchored in our harbor. I sailed for 10 hours on her maiden voyage to pick up crew and grab some other resources. Come back, anchor up in our harbor and wake up to this? I'm sorry 3 days of construction. Fix this shit Devs please. I absolutely love this game. Already got 116 hours in. But seriously if I have to go around planting pillars everywhere so I can leave my ships safely anchored in our harbor and stop everything from spawning in a massive radius I will do it. But I really don't cause I like there to be life around my base. This is at the NW corner of Fountain Island in G5 NA PVE server. A new ship would be nice but I'm not holding my breath. The wildlife needs to either ignore ships or ignore NPC crew

bump

How do I take a PNG image I have and convert it and at what resolution does it need to be in order to upload said image onto our flags and sails? Also where the hell do I find turnips?! I've found almost every crop so far but those things

These ships of the damned are not nerfed at all. You can't out run them. You can't out gun them. We crossed a region border to a lvl 20 right in front of us opening up with full broadsides immediately, took out a plank and we started taking on water and it knocked a sail out so speed dropped. Couldn't turn around and head back winds were against us as well. Spawns surely aren't nerfed. Had to thread the needle on our sloop between 20+ ships of the damned. Finally think we're clear. Transition to the next server and then this happens. If the ships of the damned have in fact been nerfed. You need to execute a kill all command to get rid of all the ones that had spawned before nerfing. And also have a cap on how many can spawn at any given time. 5-8 ships of the damned is more than reasonable. But as it stands now. We've lost 4 ships to these things SINCE the supposed nerfs. Everyone on the PVE servers are afraid to go anywhere on anything other than a raft cause their ships get destroyed instantly. There's 10 of them circling around our island right now. This is not good gameplay mechanics if we can't even hope to stand a chance against them. They need to be kept from the map borders, and away from islands, and limited to the number that can be spawned at any given time. So please. Execute a kill all command, wipe out all wildlife, ships of the damned. Hell murder me while your at it so that things respawn fresh and with the values they are supposed to have. And for the love of god. If I've got a full wind in my sails using speed sails, I should be able to out run these things. Not have them charge and ram up my aft cause they can outrun anything It took 20 cannonball hits to sink a lvl 1 ship of the damned. But they all render sloop immobile after one or two hits. And on top of that. The schooner is barely tankier than the sloop. Sloop hull pieces have 4200 hp where as the schooner is only 5100 hp. That needs rebalanced as well considering the amount of resources that goes into the medium planks

Oh those. Alright we got one. I just picked up the lighthouse. Would it be safe to put them back down though? Are you sure about that as well? It's an awfully large area to block resource spawns if that's the case

Our claim is from buoys can we replace them?

Resources on Fountain Island region G5 on the NA PVE server are still not respawning within claim radius. We've got resources spawning in between the gaps but claims are still blocking resources. It appears to just be our island though as the other islands seem unaffected for what ever reason.

Still down and unable to connect to the grid

And it's been down unable to reconnect to for the last 30 or more minutes. Please get it back up. I got a schooner to build!
