I can tell about "O" on the ship. You can craft wall hooks and attach them to almost any surface. It has it's own 1 slot inventory and you can put there a torch or lantern (you can also use dye on lantern to change it's collor) and then light it up. You need to do it manually - each light you created this way (it's cool in first and then so annoying - running thru your base and switch on/off all lights one after another). BUT If you attach hooks with torches/lanterns to a ship surfaces (floor, planks, masts, pillars, walls etc) you then can switch on/off all lights by using steering wheel/podium and press "O" from there (sometimes they light up by pressing "O" twice). On a picture above - there are 2 hooks down the ship on first and third masts. There are torches in there. And 3 hook on the top of masts with lanterns colored by orange dye.

Two stories here : )) 1) - We built our base. All houses, did farm and taming place. Did several treasure hunting and then crafted all yellow stuff we carry. Destroyed few SoDs. So... I guess we passed all solo (small company) content. Just no more reasons to log in. Only for few minutes - got the food for crew on ship and tames and refresh decay timers on lawless. 2) - The guy from our company spent a couple of weeks - crafting all rare stuff gathering resources all over the world (especially this keratinoid - from gian ants which spawns so rarely so he spent like 4 hours to gather 100 of this resource (and he needed like 500 lol). Then in a usual walk - he just got his internet connection lost for a 20 minutes. When he rejoined - he was dead and all his stuff - just gone. He spent like few weeks more to do the same hi already done (mindless resources farming) and got almost all new stuff. Accdentally jumped into a raft parked in our port. After he used a hook (he thought he might escape non ally raft with glider, hook or climbing picks) he had a game crush. And we all saw he died on a raft and hes corpse just flied away to the skies. So again he lost all. And he quit. Just because he didn't want to spend another week of resources farming and do what he already done for two times. Because it just booring and to spent half of a month with NO PROGRESS at all... just not cool. Dev must do something with loosing stuff. I know this is SURVIVAL GAME and loosing all - the part of it's adventure. But... I mean who will be glad to spend a week do something then start over. One more week of doing the same. Then start over - the same. Then start over... and after a months of playing find himself RIGHT ON THE POINT WHERE WE WAS STARTED... It's like U play Diablo, got thru 1st act, then d delete your hero, play new one the same role - got thru 1st act, delete, got same hero again, got thru 1st act... delete... I know NO PLAYERS doing (and possible enjoying) this.

We got one guy traveled to our region. It's tundra. He came there in a raft WITH NO BED! The time he made it to a shore - he died of cold. And because there was no bed - he is gone for ever. We never see him again. The problem here is - he parked his raft right in the middle of our port. Right on the way where one of our schooner did turnouts for departure. So... he just cancel one of our pier and his raft still here like for the week or so. We don't know what to do with it. One of our guy took glider, hook and climbing pick (something might have worked for escape) and jumped on it. After he used hook - the game crashed, he died and his corpse flew far away in the skies. So he lost all his stuff he was made after a weeks of resources hunt (after that he quit a game and uninstal it).

Fog + cyclones - are not big deal compare to cyclones + coldwave in tundra. It's like - you need to sail your ship, SoDs are arround and in a mean time you can just die of cold behind the steering wheel and if you go solo - your ship will lower sail and stop then : )) IMAO - there MUST NOT be raining and tornado in tundra/arctic areas. Imagine -27'C and... RAIN? What kind of rain It is? I setteled in tundra and since then I really wish to see peaceful fluffy snowfalls there. I mean there might be a dangers in northern/southern seas. Like random icebergs for example. But tornadoes are in the middle. p.s. - I see tornadoes in our tundra like 1-2 times a day. But when I went to nearest high desert zone - I spent there whole a week (in-game week), farming resources. And never see a tiny one rain at all.

Some say it's the best way to do it just to leave your stuff into base. Die and respawn in home region which is close to FoY (for G3 is I3 western island) get there a stone pick, axe and spear. Buy ramshacke put bed in there and go for a youth. When you done - just sink your sloop and respawn at your base. So no need to cross half atlas for that.

Just got my on G3. But when I arrived I wonder. When DEVS came up with this aging ideas and fountan of youth, how did they see it? Did they see this picture of hundreds abandoned ramshackes covered whole shore and then naked 90years old people runs to a cave trying to avoid as many enemies they can?

I no more seeing 155 players connected to severs. Usually for 20-30 in south and 0-10 in far north.

We use game exploit (or maybe I I shouldn't call it that). Equip spear and use tertiary attack (by default is mouse scroll up). This is a charge attack and no matter how hard player overloaded he do charge : ))

Yeah. We did our treasure hunting yesterday, sail across the atlas, found THE place and right before we summoned army of damned the heatwave begun and got to 70'C. So we took our gliders, flew back to the ship. Put off all armor, and went to water. And we died there. After heatwave is gone we finally made it to treasure : )

As far I we could see - they actually do not camp the very border (it's even a safe route in a far travels) so If your client do a long loading after border cross - it might be a good idea to cross - along border with tiny angle. But yet - we agree. There must NOT be any of encounters anywhere near borders (especially right now with unstable client). There must not be THAT MUCH of SoD everywhere. Especially with low population areas - we recently transit thru .1 and .15 zones and there were like 50 or 60 SoD we had to avoid in just one zone. My bro laugh: "After that game you'll be able to play Pacman in hellish difficulty!"

It's just a bug but decay timer for lighthouses DO NOT WORK in lawless. So any1 can demolish it right after U build it (our neighbors mentioned that after we built seccond one : ))

Not at all actually. Because we have our base right there! : )) But the ARCTIC (we fully transit thru .1 and .15 zones) - if farther then TUNDRA. There are alot of ghostships chasing around. There are small and mountainous terrain (as far as I could see). It's way far from southern region with resourses (with saps specialy which is necessary to live in northern territory). So I do really enjoying to live in TUNDRA but ARCTIC. It's much worse. p.s. - I was on my sail back to base and after crosing my region's border chat: - Home sweet home! And one of my neighbor reacted: - Not that sweet. I asked: - Why not? And he like: - I would name a 10 reasons but you know them all : ))

Lighthouses now have a bug in lawless - even if it sais "decay demolish in 02:00:00:00" anyone can demolish it anytime. We lost one recently - and then our neighbors just run by and pointed our attention so it's able to be demolished by them (they do not do it. We building there a respectful and friendly region). I was always wondering - WHY? I mean I see a lot of people building their bases there. There are two huge castles in a shore, small shore town and two forests towns in our lawless island. And we all fells really fine. We even warn eachother about alphas and help to kill them. We there for a couple of weeks and... yet I keep reading on forums so lawless are not for living. p.s. - We did our treasure hunt today and for the first time ever - crossed northern border of a map. While we sailed thru arctic we saw the same picture. Even THERE ALL LAND IS CLAIMED! The picture is sad - 5ppl online on server. And all land covered by in flags! : ))

We play duo (me and my bro). We have our Brig with 4ppl full-time NPC crew (sometimes we take 2 of them into our Schooners when we go hunting resourses). So first I thought - that's the hell alot of money they take. But... well. We do one big treasure hunting in a 2-3 days for gold (we can do like 10-15 lvl treasure. Our record is lvl 22.1. Chest that high lvl usually located half atlas far from our base). And... well. When we hired a crew there were about 1500 gold in our resourse box. Right now it's about 6000 gold. So it turned out they really don't take that much (around 100 gold for a real life night). And If I would play solo... I mean I can easily complete a treasure hunt up for lvl-5 (and I do it with just a spear. So If you will be well armed - you'll fell better). The treasure this low usually located in a region you found a bottle or just one square far. It can contain like 150-200 gold each. So U can treasure hunt for a small chests and with 2-3 chest get around 450-600 gold. It wont take a long and will be enough to keep 4ppl crew on duty for next 2-3 days). A-a-a-a-and. Yet they do all maintenance work to the anchored ship. While sailing they do not repair it. (And yeah. We carry 4 extra planks and extra steering wheal with us all time). p.s. - The biggest problem here is actually gold weight. It took us whole in-game day to get from treasure chest to a ship. We had like 1600 gold each and it weigh 640!!! Far beyond our maximum weight we can carry : )) p.p.s. - And yeah. For example - this weekend is x2 gold : ))

It's like U play full of youth girl/boy for a few days. Then for a next few days you are mature woman or man. And then for a couple of weeks you play as old grandfather/grandmother falling apart. With muscular body, perfect posture, carry all weight and fight as young one, but yet whit old wrinkled face - this is double as weirs IMAO : )) So I would feel much happier if they remove this aging system. I don't like it.

Well we have opposite problem : ) We settled in Tundra. We have our base and because of this region we had to build a PIER (sometimes you have to avoid water here). There are a lot of players try to go and settle here too, but arrive totally unprepared. They go ashore, dies really fast couple times (it's like while you go from your bed to corpse you already half of health due to cold). And then they respawn at freeport. And their rafts are just stays in a shore like forever. We've got two around our base and one guy just sailed to our port, parked raft right in the middle of our departure route (shown with green arrow) died couple of times and we never saw him again. Raft is still here. My bro just tried to sink it and died because of floating raft glitch. After he respawned, his corpse flied away to the skies so he lost all his stuff he was creating for a weeks. Yet we unable to use our closest pier anymore. We once saw a guy came to us on a raft WITHOUT BED : ) It's also still there (just a little farther).

Today I was at J3 (EU PVE) to farm Chitin (the only place I know to farm this - from giant ants. They really rare spawn). While I've been there it was a real torture! I anchored as close to the shore as it possible, put a crew to a swivel gun attached to my ship and then... - I lure 3 lions to my ship. - Then giant snake come out. - Then 7 wolves (i'm not joking). - Then another giant snake and 2 crocs (they all btw best friends to each other). And only then all looks clear around, I was able to go search for those rarest giant ants. After 10 sec of walking I encountered another croc and 3 giant snakes. I made for about 150 projectiles and before departure there are 30 left - I needed just 10 Ants for resourses and with them I lured and my crewmate shoot for like 70-80 wild animals. I saw plenty structures there and wondered - how the hell players live here? (I didn't see any players anyway).

I accidentally jumped to enemie's raft. And stucked floating over it with no chance to escape. I died. And went back for my corpse. I took with me a hook, glider suit, and climbing picks in order to use them to escape. So I jumped at raft again. Took all my stuff. And then equip and use a hook... next second game crushed. When I was reenter it I found myself dead and my corpse... is just gone. In a respawn map my corpse bein showed at the center of our region right into a sea. I sailed there but found nothing. So... yeah. I allready lost 5 of my ships to a game laggs and then all my equipement I've been creating for a weeks and weeks (there were some purple and gold stuff there).

It's really weird because sometimes I able to kill lvl-17 wolf with my spear. And sometimes barely take out half of lvl-1 wolf's health with a gunshoot and mele. Those levels works really strange. And yet - we do kill alphas by using game mechanic. Here is our base: As you can see - all houses and territory covered by foundations and railing fences. When any aggressive animals attack, all we need to do is to get behind railing, and then they just stuck at one railing they choice and start they selflessly battle with fence. They do damage to wooden structures while we can damage animals thru it. We set up few guns and ballistas to speed up the killing and feels just fine. Alpha hit 15 dmg to wooden structure, so it's plenty of time to kill it even with spear. p.s. - when you stuck in lion's mouth - you just need to hit it with your hand to release. It's yet another game mechanics.

Couple advanced tips I recently discovered: - You can craft a wall hook and attach it to almost any surface. It has 1 slot inventory and you can put there a torch or a lantern and then light it up. Tip here is simple, you can attach those hooks with a torches/lanterns to your ship (even to the very top of masts or bottom of your boat) and then all you need to do is use "steering wheel" and wile using it - press "O" by default controls. This will control all lights you attached to your ship. Press "O" to turn them on (some times you need to press it twice), press "O" again will turn lights off. I wish there would be a way to do the same with your base streetlights. - If you find valuable resources and overload your pathfinder - there is a way to speed him up a bit. Just use a spear, hit the LMB once to enter combat mode and then use tertiary attack (it's mouse scroll up by default). This is charge attack and it works fine with any weight you carry. Just don't forget to walk from time to time to regain stamina and then do series of charges again (don't charge in to a bear or rhino tho : ))

Same here. Lawless tundra. It disappeared one night, I built another one and guy from my neighborhood run by and told us that he able to demolish it. Good thing I have gr8 neighbors and they do not demolish it (they just do some jokes in a chat between each others like: "c'mod dude, go and demolish their lighthouse" - "I wont because structure that big will probably fall down and presses my hero to death")

Use a dye to a brush (or this spray tool). Then hit lighthouse with it (no need to climb up just hit bottom of lighthouse). 1st region of painting is the color of you upper wood plank and light color also. Be aware. In some cases light is toooooo vivid : )) Orange is pretty fine: P.S. - there is light beams spreading from light on a top. And only two beams will be painted all others will be white,

Hi. I do EU PVE. Here if my notes of really strange things in my opinion. 1) - Gold weigh. If there is weight in kilos in a game so every single gold coin weigh 0.4 kilos (must me huge coin right?) We got 20lvl treasure and got 700 kilos of gold each : )) (imagine how long it took us to get from treasure chest to ships? : )) If we wish to buy that artifact cube we have to bring 8 tons of gold with us... how to do It I simply cannot imagine. So I just wander is gold really suppose to weight THAT MUCH? 2) - My pathfinder is a girl (it's 76 years old grandie actually). While I use emote menu all voice-lines (except single one) sound with rude male voice. Same with repair hammer. If I success with mini-game she screams "WOW" as a girl. If I don't she do uh-uh as a male. Or maby she was hoarse in her old age? 3) - I built a Lighthouse in Lawless EU PVE. When I point camera on it there is a DEMOLISH DECAY TIMER showing 02:00:00:00. it means if I'll be gone for 2 days anyone will be able to demolish it. Right? Well. Players says they can demolish it NOW. I wonder are LIGHTHOUSES forbidden in lawless or it's just a bug?
