  1. 517.6 (server) Bug Fix: being able to build on Freeports and Golden Age islands. Freeport Structures that are not normally allowed will be destroyed with the update There's a dockyard and warehouse on several of the golden islands that have not been removed.
  2. I think it's safe to say at this point they're not going to do anything until they add in their "new flag system" which they probably think will fix all current issues. I've never come across a company that works so hard to destroy itself as grapeshot and snail games.
  3. Server is still down, showing 0/0 players should show 0/150 players. Has now been down nearly 18 hours.
  4. Rob the banks at the lighthouses, the bank breaks twice, on second break it drops a bag that can anything from 5k to 30k gold. Or kill whales..for 900g a whale roughly Or get some mates and do blue maps, can avg 5-15k a day that way. Or do all 3.. plus maybe make some semi decent weapons, tools etc and put them on a shop or trade resouces in shops for around 1g per unit or 1g per 10 and you'll have money rolling in.
  5. Pve Cluster. Pls Kill the server and restart it. The automatic restarts are not fixing the issue.
  6. Has much changed? I wouldn't know, haven't played for months, just watched the numbers decline. There's currently around 800 players on all 4 clusters combined. That's all the players.. avg 200 per cluster. Games made 20+ years ago have higher pops than that. I'll check back in another 6 months. You hope..
  7. Yeh, I got to feel the same way, I've never played on pvt servers because everytime I found one with decent ping etc it was always 5x etc.. The weekends were ok if you'd lost a ship or wanted to build up a new base.. probably great in pvp etc. But when mon/tues came, you reverted back to "normal" rates, but were then getting less than 1x rate. Taking harvest skill bonus into consideration, I usually have it at 2nd harvest bonus, it's pretty grindy like that.. Now I have all legendary tools etc I pop trees and rocks like confetti I feel like I don't get much for my buck at all. I've now tested this using stone picks etc.. I get alot more thatch using a stone pick than I get with metal pick. Metal and indeed higher grade is supposed to harvest the item faster.. so a tree might spawn with 210 wood another 320 and so on, you chop chop and get the wood/thatch etc. But you seem to get more using stone tools.. could be my imagination could be random change I dunno, certainly takes longer.. But it does feel like you're grinding for 4-5 days, then rocketing along for 2-3 days at weekends, then grinding the following week. Wears you down. I just bought a new game tho.. so maybe I won't be around much longer anyway. Haven't played for 3 days. Just think.. no me.. awesome eh. The other problem with using high grade tools is you use less energy, thus food drops slower and vits drop faster.. ultimately you get fat.. and no energy and it's always eat poop and die. You have no choice.. then you use tames and it's worse. Anyhow, we'll see how it progresses etc.
  8. Killed a bear few weeks back, found 14k in the cargo saddle bag.
  9. Yep. You can only kill tame to claim the contents of the cargo saddle sadly. The tame is completely useless to you.
  10. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1807007894 There is NO point having a map.. if it is misrepresented. There is no indication on this island that there are shallows where my ship is. This is happening with all the tundra islands and all the new islands added. Get it sorted out.
  11. For a noob gally with common planks. It could be dangerous. A company fella almost lost his gally to a smaller fleet.. although truth be told, he almost lost it really, due to overconfidence.. and a lack of repair materials. But the point I think I'm trying to make is.. instead of 10 ships.. give me 5 that persue me and actually try to kill me. This give up thing they do after a minute.. is really annoying. And yes I know the 2 fleet spawn is probably a bug.. or maybe grapecard hates me personally.. since I seem to see this alot.. maybe there's a bounty on me head. For $1..
  12. It does kinda work with elephants.. you can use the left/right direction keys to turn a tight circle, instead of walking (forwards + left/right) around in a circle.. kinda also works with rhinos and even giraffes if you move 1-2 steps at a time. But everything else does a 39 pt turn. It's probably a bug that you can do this tho.
  13. Nah.. people would just eat poo.. radioactive poisoning would just be treated as another vitamin def. (yes I can't spell deficiency.. maybe)[yes i see the funny side of the post to]
  14. It kinda does.. your planks wear out over time and continually need to be repaired. Since our ships don't float in the air yet.. i guess there's no way of guessing if the water does the damage or if planks just wear out over time. This is true.. infact if you kill a crewman in the lower decks of your ship.. sharks will try to eat their corpse.. I can hear them outside.. swimming around. (Even when I'm in my hut, on top of my mountain in middle of my island)
  15. No - They are an exploit of the badly designed system. Thanks for the admission of guilt for exploiting the game btw. Don't worry.. devs won't do anything about it.
  16. On lawless foundations get 10 days. containers get 40 days.. ship container gets 50 or 60 or something.. Fix is easy. Make everything 10 days. So long as auto demo works, problem fixes itself. Stuff like piller spam which is more annoying than an issue.. goes in 12 hours. If you live in the area, logging in continually refreshes it. If you are jumping beds everyday to refresh.. well, you're kind using them & the island really. And wasting your own time alot, which people are free to do. The real issue here isn't so much the cosmetic side of how it looks.. it's the problems it causes for lag and server stability. Every chest with 50 items is 51 items that need to be tracked it's kinda like having 51 pillers.. only we can't see the items in the chest, they're still there, still recorded etc.. if someones house falls down after 10 days and their bed as well.. why are chests allowed 40 days... (more typos than words today) Similarly with your large island/large company issue. Mega's need to continually refresh their islands, esp farming hubs/outposts. That in time, is cost enough.
  17. Dp bed doesn't work.. well not exactly. You need to kill yourself to get the dp. So they disable that.. make it a requisite for you to sail into region within say last 2 hours or so.. fixed. Like the freeports atm. You can only get those, by sailing into region. Most of them.. there's a few you can actually tp/die and get.
  18. White list would fix that. You goto region, ask who has space for you to make a base etc.. they add your steamname or company id to list.. you can build. Noone else can build. Or maybe people could buy their way onto islands.. deposit x amount of gold to rent the right to build/stay, could be a % of island rent or number of settlers etc. something like that. I like the idea of multiple flags per island, with multiple settlements, if the island is big enough to allow. As for tax.. I wish it would extend to berries.. I'm sick of gathering berries to put in silo.. wish we could put veg in there or cooked meat etc.. I got larders full of that stuff now. Maybe even cooked meals.. make em last longer for crew etc.. a burger lasts a crewman a week or something. ### Ok it seems everything is now being removed after 10 days, at least on my island, I just spent over an hour walking around it. Every piller, foundation, sign etc.. is gone. Finally.. However.. the chests are not. And if you think foundation spam is bad.. wait until you get chest spam.. or food trough spam.. Try walking through a pass over those things. I had to build a bridge over a guys old base, just to get to other side of it.
  19. Damn.. I hate it when I'm wrong. Seems all the stuff we couldn't remove.. is now gone. Even the old traps. Maybe it is working afterall.
  20. So basically you want to drive large groups of players away from the game.. ok. Well just say that.. you want a 150 region map all to yourself. Noone else can play there, just you. A sort of SP massive map. Mega companies can only live where you want.. but you, can live anywhere.. And threepwood, I'm researching stuff.. aff kinda.
  21. Really wasting my time with you. I can read what is written. The fact is, it doesn't actually occur like that. In fact, it doesn't occur at all. What they expect to happen, does not actually happen. How do I make you comprehend? Empty Hand, is still empty hand even if you claim you put a penny in it.. No penny, still empty hand.. As for map gold.. I'll check it.. but I seem to always get more gold for my maps.. not less. Unless the map gold amount is an avg.
  22. As you can see he is referring to the 12 hours.. not the 10 days. After 10 days.. they still do not auto demo. There's ships, shipyards, structure, bases, pens that have been there since day 1 of the re-release and they still haven't demo'd. There's stuff on islands that's switched owners several times and they still haven't demo'd. The ship wrecks are still marked on my map.. When someone says something. Research it, before just believing it. Which obviously.. my bad, you can't do, since you don't play.
  23. Yes.. I know it's a bug.. I've reported it. Until it is fixed.. it is intended. Only client side? If player hasn't been online.. thats 10 days his stuff has been in my way.. minimum. You lose no gold. 20% is added to island. If someone else does a map on it. On some islands, this adds up to alot, on others.. almost nothing, because there are very few maps for my island. Or people don't like spiders.. it's one of the two. Noone is taxed.(maybe)
  24. He just said it did and he wasn't in a freeport.. it was docked in his harbour.. therefore, he also, had to be at the harbour.. to see it docked and see a leaking plank.. So he had to be there.. or he wouldn't have seen it happen..
  25. Why can't the own lots of small islands? Island = number of pts.. more pts, bigger islands or more island.. Oh I see.. because you have no friends.. people who do have to suffer.. No they don't.. You see.. their stuff is protected by the island.. so even if they go offline for months, years, decades.. their stuff is still protected. After 10 days all that happens, is there's a line of text on their stuff that reads "can be demolished". But it actually can't. Of course, you'd know this, if you played the game.
