there is a big topic where people discuss this. you are better of reading there instead of creating new posts

how about you post this in the bug section then. it gets more attention with upvotes

(pve) log in- feed animals - empty tax bank - check claims - farm some basic resources port to my brig, continue exploring every island and doing treasure maps. not been in my base for some while now, just log off there to not lose the claim. been spending all my time on my ship sailing around making discoveries and finding rare resources. the day I lose my ship is the day I stop playing ATLAS love my ship so much

ladders down? could be everything. storms, grief, decay.. need more information. was it in a freeport? lawless zone? someone elses claim? tropical climate?

can´t use doors, can´t leave my building. what´s going on? I used a different computer to login, yesterday evening everything was fine? o.O

same for me..

push, this needs attention. upvote for visibility

Not even because of raiding. Defending a lot of claim is a lot of work, so giving claims to people who farm resources and you earn 30% tax while they additionally protect space and resources is a win win situation. HOWEVER.. the first people we let build went on and build directly on top of our only metal resource. since then we only accept people who speak the same language, must have a certain age and must introduce himself in a mannered way so that we can estimate that this is not some short minded kid that just builds shit around our claims and blocks resources. it is kind of complicated to get new people in but if you find people who respect resources and rules its a blast seeing how our island grows and people building stuff. Really like that aspect and god bless we found a lot of nice people in atlas. its about 3 shit heads to 100 nice people so far but yeah, if you are friendly and you talk to people and explain them your goals etc. most likely people are willing to share land for the above reasons. Edit: I must admit that I´m maybe lucky. Started on an island with 90% friendly people who instantly created a small community to help each other out (PvE ofc). my neighbors are super nice people who we regularly talk to about expanding land or if they need more stuff or if we should reduce taxes if they build etc. No ship sank so far, no land was stolen, no grief except someone placed a buoy at the beginning which prevented resource respawn (but more unintentional I think). Beside the thousands of issues ATLAS has, the community and experiences in the game were always very good. Even like speaking to french people with bad english was super fun, while I google translated everything and they as well ^^ I can only hope others do the same experiences and learn a bit about the possible good times in ATLAS instead of the hate and grind etc.

I would love to know the context and the other side of the story. For him to be able to pillar your boat you would have to be within his claim and I have yet to meet people who would instantly grief you without any actions from my side. I normally introduce myself, ask if I can stay and if I´m welcome I lower may anchor, if not I continue sailing. Additional for him to sink your ship you would need to have your ladders down. There is no other way atm that I can imagine how someone could else overweight your ship. The pillar thing sucks tbh. I was wondering also what I would do if someone would just build gates around my ship when I´m offline in the night in another claim. Still WC current fix is not really helping. Sorry for your loss.

is decay of ships higher in lawless zones? I always leave them before logging out. Would be interesting to know.

I really don´t know if people are to dumb or I´m just lucky but atm I sail around doing discoveries and EVERY DAY on every island I find there are claims with buildings which you can claim. Dozent of unused stuff just laying around. The thing is you don´t get the prime spots, the super nice beach spot with resources and shipyard access but maybe have to start on a small shitty rock with less trees and no stone etc. but its something. Found a lot of those. I really don´t understand how people have issues with finding claims. Our company got one of the initial claims from the start, maintained those claims and yesterday setup an outpost in the north and south where they just claimed a small water spot with a bit of land and build a base. It was not even a lot of time investment, just searching a bit where are bigger free spots and maybe you can squeeze in there. Additional based on your post I assume you do not have the communication skills to ask others friendly if you can use their land. Also very easy way to setup a base. Got several allies who I met which allowed me to build taming pens on their land etc. and wouldn´t also mind if I build a shipyard and a base close to them. Its always how you approach people. Not saying the claiming system is good, its actually kind of bad, but it works for now and is WAY better then the foundation/pillar spam to secure your territory. WAY BETTER ..

C6 has not spawned.. there is no FoY and 180 player in the server with 300 ping (EU PvE)

where is the fountain?

man, I wish some official would actually comment on this. no one knows where the freaking fountain is at. doesn´t seem to be at o14 anymore, but didn´t spawn at C6 either.. maybe it just fully stopped spawning, wouldn´t suprise me at all

anyone knows where it is atm. C6 it didn´t spawn until now

should still be at O14.. hasn´t spawned at C6 yet. I swear to god if they changed the timer to 50d secretly.. everyone is waiting in the freaking cave dying all over again and again. anyone can confirm its still at O14?

C6 atm

I was at C6 literally 10 min. ago and it wasn´t there. also it would be way to early to spawn there

yes.. should be there for another 40 min. - 1h also pvp, pve, EU and NA are the same as far as I experienced it Additional over time players will spread more out and not rush all to the same point. It will be less troublesome but feature is still kind of no fun to use. if someone could confirm when the fountain is no longer in O14 it would be appreciated

so what? that´s ofc what happens if you keep ARK mechanics

could have build a hangar around it to protect it?

well.. it goes from left to right in order. The guy above said powerstone order, but I don´t even know this order. I was just monitoring the order and then put it on a map and completed it as it seemed logical for me. Below is the map I´m using. As it seems it spawns every ~2 - 3h somewhere new. So at ~6pm GMT+1 it should be at C6. That´s what I was waiting for. My only raft I have is there ^^

anyone can confirm O14? (its there, just need the rough time when it spawned so I can calculate when it appears on C6)

SOTD fast? question is.. what were you driving? A sloop or a raft with small sails probably. Look at this video that I made fighting off 3 SOTD in a row without taking ANY damage. I have my sails at 50% and turn then against the wind to not be faster than any SOTD out there (I slow down on purpose to keep them within range) while dragging them behind me. SOTD are freaking slow, and they rotate slow and the aggro range is super small even for brigs and stuff. I go afk while driving from 1 island to the other and even if you aggro them, about 10 sec. later you lose them again. They are 0 challenge if you have a schooner or above. Even with a sloop and a medium sail you should be absolutely fine to go. I even saw rafts outrun SOTD on the way to powerstone islands.
