I'm VERY surprised that no one has taken it upon themselves to fix the map. I'm toying with the idea, but I have less than zero idea of how to start.

Blackwood has been abandoned..... So far.... From what I can see, not a single bug fix for it has occurred since it was launched. Sad, because it's a beautiful grid.

Is it possible to modify BLACKWOOD islands in a map editor to add or remove things for my private Blackwood server? If so, what's the best way to begin?

What's more important than ever, and probably the most critical thing to do in today's society is that..... we can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behindCause your friends don't dance and if they don't danceWell they're are no friends of mine

Where does ASUU save the backup? Does it overwrite the last save or save the latest with a different file name so there'll be numerous backups with time stamps?

I was referring to EEECEEE post above mine. He/She wanted cargo racks to NOT reduce speed. I feel that it's fair to HAVE the cargo racks reduce speed and that speed restrictions should not be removed like he/she proposed.

I dunno.... The brig and the galleon feel pretty big. Especially the galleon. I think removing the speed handicaps kills some of the strategy. Should I build a lumbering, slow ship that can haul a city's worth of mats, or a faster attack ship that maneuvers great? Having a ship that can do it all, IMO, is a cop-out and dumbs down the game. If you're worried about losing your slow ship to a whale or SotD or pvp, then protect it with some faster armed ships.

In fact those who DO expect the Spanish Inquisition..... The COMFY CHAIR!!!!!!

I've Googled and researched and sifted through forums, but I still can't find the location and naming convention for the saved Blackwood game for a dedicated server. Someone HAS to know this. Please help!

No one knows this?

When you get to the blue light, look up to the left at it and you should see the floating tool tip saying to PRESS E to use.... Or something like that. Once you press E, you'll "get" the fountain. We plopped down a claim flag nearby so when we got to the fountain, we could put a few foundations in the fountain cave where we put 2 beds down. Now whenever we need the fountain, we just fast travel, get rejuvenated, and fast travel back. EASY!

Isn't fixing the map as easy as opening it up in the map editor and plopping down the assets you want? Yes that's a simplification, but only for scripted events.... No?

There are 2 waterfalls next to each other. If you're coming from the inlet with the crabs and sharks and the big statue on the rock, the FoY waterfall is to the right of the first you see. It's set back a bit further.

I want to make sure my Blackwood server gets saved every few hours or so, but I can't seem to find the save file. Right now I'm manually enabling cheats and doing a "cheat saveworld" but I can't find each save and there should be a few out there. Can someone point me to where the files are and what the naming convention is? Thanks!

Ever try to edit an Atlas map? I was thinking about taking Blackwood and trying to "fix" what's broken, but I've never edited an Ark or Atlas map. I played around with a Ylands map editor, but I'm sure it's not the same LOL

Tattoo .... I don't think it's trolling, I think it's purely the map designer NOT having everything done in time and checking that every island's resources make sense. "Uh OH! I need this map done by tomorrow and I know I'm short some resources. I'll throw a few here.. a few there... UH .. I guess that looks fine. OK... It's ready to be downloaded..... I'll fix any glaring issues soon and upload them when GS needs me to."

My bud and I found the FoY and devised a way to get to it .... without going through the mermaid lake and the crazyness of the cove that's right before the mermaid lake...... We're going to take video and post it. It involves a VERY high set stairs, wingsuits, and some determination.

Silk is there .. I think you'll find it on the Hydra island .... if I remember correctly it's west of the freeport and looks like bamboo but the yield is silk. I even think i was only able to get it by hand. I hope I'm remembering that correct. Also, someone DID recently find turnips, but it was really hard and only a small patch.......If I remember where I read it, I'll repost.

Ok...... We see a waterfall at the back of a cove that CONSTANTLY has mermaids !!!!! Problem: 1. In front of the waterfall is a pond that is surrounded by lots of bad animals, and the pond has sharks. 2. Our ship is in the cove, almost at the back of it, but the mermaid song circle encompasses our whole ship!! We can't even respawn on the boat as it immediately pulls us off. Also, the song circle extends WAY into the shore and woods that we can barely run to the pond before the mermaid song pull us back WHILE we're running. 3. There are SO MANY tigers, lions, and pterodactyls that we can't get more than a 20 - 30 yards out of the water before death. Where is the FoY cave entrance once we get to the waterfall?? But more importantly, how the $&%* do we even get close?? Help!!

Dev only emoji..... Brilliant idea!

OMG yes !!!!! A thousand yesses !!!! It would be amazing knowing someone from the "team" read my post that I (usually) try to craft with care so that no stone is left unturned and no detail that isn't clear. If it isn't MY post but one that I'm discussing and a thread that I'm following, I still would feel great knowing that the text we're so passionate about writing and the topic we're trying to address hasn't fallen on "deaf" eyes. Thank you for your communication here in this thread, and I'm looking forward to more!

Top NE island .....There's a town on the north (top) of the island....it's got a port and big water wheel and beautiful houses and koi ponds. The shipmaster's dock goes out (North) into the water. The geometry is SO messed up there. I jumped into the water to swim to my boat parked right by the docks, and I sunk to the bottom......well, it wasn't the bottom of the coast line (30 feet of water or so, it was land! I was under water but not drowning. I was not swimming but ALL visuals above and below were as if I was actually under water. I could look up and see my ship but I couldn't "swim" to it. There were birds flying, cows walking, turtles walking .. all "under water". LMAO Luckily I found a path that wasn't too steep that I could run up to get back to real shoreline.

Saw my first salt water fish today when we made landfall on Hydra island. !. How do you kill the Hydra? 2. Why should I kill it? 3. What's that red force-field cave that I can't enter?
