I think they just have lack of resources and try to do maximum things with minimum costs : ) But really they should somehow increase their resources, because game require ALOT of changes, improvements and new staff.

I just remember another question I'd like to ask. When you level your tames - does damage stat worth to put points in to? I mean it's usually 0.9% per point, so it'll gonna be 28.8% in total (not really great number). It's like I can raise my tiger damage from 140% to 168.8% and it'll gonna up from 40 to about 49 damage (or with battle against strong enemies from 20 to 25). And I'll sacrifice all additional health, stamina and weight. (sigh) I wish devs to clarify this issue! I mean if they DO know how it works lol.

It was possibly wind issue. When you cross after a storm, sometimes wind shows wrong for a while, and it goes slow at greens and fast at reds.

It's in the golden age ruins ) E5/6/7 F5/7 G5/6/7 There is a cave (not ancient castle). Usually you run in, turn right, then another right, then trough the cave on bridge and in the end you'll see sparking ancient altar. You just run near and you done. After you done - you jump from the bridge and lure all mobs with you so next players will have their way safe. Then you die. Don't forget to take off all you clothes and tools and live them in a ship's box. You'll probably wont have a chance to make em back. So yeah - this is "naked run". You know when first ever players hit their 90s it was insane. It was like 250 sloops parked at all goldens and 250 naked grandmas and grandpas were running in to that poor cave. I'm not sure if devs planed this game to be like that.

Hahahaha! The hell this guy is a Pharaoh! But if I talk seriously I see the only solution, and no one likes it! To cancel all "Minecraft" construction and introduce premade buildings. - Those different houses. - 2 sizes (small and big ones) and 2 materials - wooden and stone. - You can enter there, there are windows, doors, etc. - The only "constructor" type left is roads, walls/gates/fences, and pier infrastructure. - There is also... some kind of foundation - flat area with slope edges. The buildings I see are: - Small/Big tent for beginning. There is a campfire and bed inside. Shelter and respawn. - Tavern - with cooking spots, food/water storage, beds for respawn. - Storage house - with storage boxes. - Workshop - smithy and mortar+pestle. - Sewing workshop - tannery and loom. - Blacksmith - forges. - Wharf (sea smithy for ship production). - Living house (for inland crew). - Tames nursery house (for those, who wanna breed). - Some farming infrastructure. - etc. And maybe - custom house, which is a house and you choice which equipment to put inside). The building process is simple. You put your foundation. Then place building - like we do now with windmills and lighthouses. Then construction site appears. It requires some (alot) resources for building complete. We bring resources and after some small time period building is complete. Yeah there will be way WAY less creativity, and we no longer be able to create our arty designs. But hey! Really! Are we playing Atlas for this? Or even this? Really? Maybe we go Sims-4 instead? The advantages of my idea are: - No more monstrous, weird, ugly, or just simple cube bases. We all will live in small villages. - All will be polys optimized. No more server stalls. - We'll have less time for construction and more for all other staff (there must be other stuff tho, like seas and inland quests etc). - Devs will be able to introduce different styles of buildings like southern styles, Nordic styles, Asian styles etc, and release them as DLCs to get xtra income.

Ok I finally got this veteran explorer quest and got the answer of how many discoveries point in the game! It's either 1562 or 1565. I've got this quest done when I hit 414 discoveries points, but as far as "landfall" gives us 2, It might come with 413 as well.

I see another way. All shore contains several "zones" to claim. Solo and few players company can claim one zone. Big company - several zones. Megas - whole island but just one. In the middle of each island - all danger located. All treasures, alpha's nests, rare resources etc. And it's either forbidden to build structures, or free build for all but with rapid decay timer like 12 or 24 hours, with no way to extend it. I mentioned my ideas to claim system here : ) Unfortunatelly DEVs will have to redone hell alot for that to happen : )

Unfortunately Lawless also has it's issues. Like our island just way overbuilt by tiny thatch bases and shipyards. I didn't count them, but I guess it's maybe 200 or even 300 around. And in most cases guys, who built all this stuff - don't show up. Like 10 days ago a guy appeared. He built a bungalow with smithy, and loom, built his schooner (with one medium handling sail and 2 small weight sails), then he left all his stuff and never showed up again. I mean, if you never plan to go back - why it so hard for U to demolish your structures? I guess ppl just don't care. Yesterday his stuff decayed and disappear. There are whole a lot of structures like that around. Or there is just a bases with ppl simply log in once per week, then bases decays for 3 days left, and renew. So they don't do anything in the game, just log to extend their structures, and then out for another week. Also I keep seeing same picture. Guys build like 5-10 Brigs for them, park them on shore with naked crew (in Tundra yeah), and never sail anywhere. Ships just parked around. I didn't count them either but I guess there are like 100 maybe 200 ships around our island. And usual online is 15 ppl. And there are like hundreds of ramshakes. Also alot of rafts and ramshakes in the ocean. I guess naked guys tried to land tundra but freeze to death and there was no bed on their vessels : ) So that's how lawless live looks like. p.s. - One guy destroyed his base, unclaimed his ship and left billboard with text: "Free ship to claim". Some1 claimed it. And billboard is there for ever now.

We got one just because it is in the game. But for us - there is just no difference. I mean... a bit less time for resources gathering, but it's like 5-10 minutes economy (and I spent like couple of hours building it). And it doesn't produce thatch... so... I mean we stop with building right now (got all built), and for high lvl BPs we anyway need resources from different grids. I've been to "Tiger island" (place where insane amount of wild fauna respawn and there are TIGERS there), and because it very populated - I saw those windmills everywhere. And mostly they not working (probably full). In like 15-20 mills I saw around there was just single one was rotate it's wings : ) What I don't really understand is this "reduce farm rate". What was this made for? I mean we live on very hilly island and there is just no flat places around. And some ppl love to do some foundation, railings etc, to make it look good. Why do DEVs want us to place it as is far away from our base?

Yeah, guys about screenshots. What I do is just press "Ctrl + Print Screed" if I wanna take ingame picture. Then open "Paint" and just "Ctrl + V" = paste screenshot and save it : ) I know there is some "steam" feature, but It's more comfortable for me to do my way (I also edit photo for my "Feedback" thread).

I think she thinks spyglass is a bottle and she wanna drink more : ))

1) - How do you know how many additional ship levels will bring better quality shipyard? I mean if it is all about shipyard sturdiness, then how many % gives +1 lvl? And yeah, my very first ship from usual shipyard now got 41 lvl, and still gaining exp. I hired some crew of damned lvl 135 and they simply do not level and all their xp stays at zero (I personally would love to see either quality shipyard gives the + levels (like common one - 41, fine - 43, journeyman - 45, masterworks - 47. legendary - 49 and mythic - 51). Or it's like fine provide 41-43 depends on stats, journeyman gives 43-45... etc.). 2) - How does all those captaining skill work? I mean "cheaper crew", "rationing", "maintenance". Are they works only when I staying on the ship? Or they start to work when I'm at some distance from the ship? Or it works for all my company ships? 3) - How many discoveries are in the game right now? I see this 552 number - but those are just "zones" discoveries. There are also 30x2 for whales, 40x8 for powerstones etc. I mean I wanna do this "veteran explorer" quest for 25% of atlas discoveries points. I already have 398 discoveries points and still didn't complete this quest! Are there 1600 in total or even more? Or for veteran explorer we need 25% of all those endgame points, like kraken, yeti, powerstones etc?

Yeah... I mean, sometimes bases are made really good, but sometimes, errrr... let's say, way too creative Oh and my grandy pathfinder was drunk as a skunk and she tried to look through spyglass. Something went wrong

Unfortunately if they don't hit something within short period of time, they buried down underground and then spawn with full HP.

I wish devs bring here a tiny single note that they do read the forum, and see what we writing (And we do not do that because we wanna whine. We do that because we wanna Atlas became sailing game of our dream!)

Any1 tried high lvl map after farmhouses patch? Any noticeable difference?

35 - All rope ladders attached to all our ships, suddenly retracted. Game goes more and more weird state. Like yesterday all rope ladders we attached to ALL OUR SHIPS in company were suddenly retracted (those from deck to waters and also high ladders to very top of masts). My crewmate was in the middle of the ocean at the moment. And now we CAN NOT extend them back. I took my hook and climbed up to crow nest. All I can do at the moment is just demolish my ladder... UPD: Solved this one with "L" key on steering wheel.

Also few issues I see. 1) - Can not attach wall hook to light it up. 2) - Can not paint it. 3) - Can not climb to the roof via picks. And one more question. As I now placed it to my pillars and ceilings, there are some resources around. What if some player (troll guy) will come and gather all resources? They wont respawn then? And If I go to another island, should I search resources far from all players farmhouses, so I don't destroy someones nodes? p.s. - The situation itself is a bit strange. There is just no place around my base with flat land and resources around. So I have 2 ways. 1 - place farmhouse like really far from my base. Or place one on ceiling's bottom which is reduce production to 0.25%. Because of that my house just doesn't produce thatches at all (it burn them faster than gather).

Aaaand I just CAN'T place my farmhouse. I'm trying to place it on a floor but it required to be placed on a floor, so I just can't place it. This is the way game works... Upd: Solved this one. I just have to be like bigger ceilings. The farmhouse itself is 5x3 and I was able to place one at 7x5 ceilings.

Alright HERE IS THE PROBLEM. Farmhouse require "to be placed on a floor". But correct me if I wrong - foundations are blocking resources spam!

I also would like to see "cumulate" button, not in just inventory but also in boxes and smithy. Because sometimes you have like 5(10? 100?) stacks of thatches, one has 1000 another one 800, third one 165, fourth - 400 and last one 61... and you can not stuck them together. You need to pick all to you inventory and then put em back to box. Same with food. When you crew eat it, you can see then like 20 stack of vegies, 25 pieces each...

34 - I don't see any other languages. You know sometimes players make their names on Chinese/Korean/Japanese? If I see player like that, if he write something in chat, I'll see just ◘◘◘◘◘ instead of text. But strangely I don't see any cyrillic in game either. It shows ???????? instead of text. And this is weird because I'm from Russia, and cyrillic installed on my computer. I have Russian localisation of Windows-10, I have like all standard Russian fonts etc. You know in Steam you can right click on the game and change language settings? If I switch the game to Russian I'll see this:

I have another problem. Game do not see any Chinese/Korean/Japanese language. It shows just ◘◘◘◘◘ instead of text. But strangely I don't see any cyrillic in game. It shows ???????? instead of text. This is weird, because I'm from Russia and Russian language installed on my computer, I've got Russian localisation of Windows-10, etc. When I returned to Atlas I installed the game and it automatically switched on Russian language. After I launched the game I saw... well...

Today I accidentally got into lvl-16.1 shipwreck. They were not on the sextant map. I got 450 gold, mythic stone gate BP, and CRAB STEERING WHEEL! And this wheel is bugged. I put it in my storage box. After I died I found another crab wheel in my inventory. I put it in my storage box and there were 2 crab wheels. Then I died again. Now I have 3 crab wheels! lol! Got quest completed. Didn't get any special skills tho...

You know what's funny? Yesterday I was somewhere equatorial. And I found bushes. When I scan them they showed: - Bush. And then they contained like everything. Some berries, some vegis, some saps, some fibers and thatches. So with a bear there I could like have around 1000 each resource each swipe : ) The hell is that, lol? Game goes more to easy state!
