I have a problem with the map, in game. 
I have 2 servers to host all our maps.
One in North America, one in Europe.
The database is hosted in NA but the players who play on the European servers need to switch to NA maps to see the map.
BUT every time there is an Atlas update they lose the map.
Both servers have the same ServerGrid.json

If anyone have any idea about that issue?

I've cleared the database and almost everything.

Even re-installing brand new doesn't work.

I've same settings than before but it doesn't restart, what changed to connect to DB ?

Oh and don't assume I don't know what I am doing either, you know what they say about assuming anything right? 

Please note that this wipe will not be forced on Unofficial Servers, however the old claim flags will disappear and you’ll have to replace them or allow them to naturally populate.

But if on your server players do not experiment many bugs, tell me your secret because this game is bugged as hell. Players consistently losing ships between 2 grids and the old ships are still bugged invisible on eyes but still there on the map if your looking at the map, a lot of animals are bugged, elephants flying, corpse unreachables...

I'm sure also you know how to create biomes:
«First of all, the changes we are planning for this update are huge. We are completely redesigning the world layout, introducing new island types and biomes»
The islands letters code, i will assume you know the meaning of all codes and tell me how can you add  a new biome island within a grid that as for example Mnt_B_CP, the meaning of the CP part is because it need to be in a particular biome. 

What your talking is reserved 5 grid on your 25 for new content... Well that is full grid wipe if you do not keep the saves. 
If i had 25 grid, that's a lot less troubles to reserve grids, but we have 12 grids and mostly builded.

Anyway let's see what happen anyway for me it's the last chance with this game. I'm hosting 18 servers with other games and really never had so much troubles.

Good luck with the rest.

Why would you wipe and upset your player base?

Just find out which islands on your current gird are uninhabited and replace them with a couple of the new ones and then add the new quest line and the deep trenches will be an extension of the already existing PVE Powerstone islands

No wipe required...

Seriously, if they wipe official don't you think it's because they have the choice?
NO it's because they changed something in the game core that can and will affect current saves.
Why would seriously just think about continuing with a corrupted database and involved our players in many more bugs than there is already.
Being a community manager is often taking hard decision, but it's a must.

Because i'm sure you don't know much about it i'll just tell you to try adding a new island to your current grid. You will see what happen.
To explain a bit further how do you think your saved database will react to saved when the islands replaced is not there anymore, resources, animals, etc... I've tried it, you should to understand how it react. You can wipe a full grid but not just a part of it and think it will not be bugged. Some ghost islands appear, some resources are not gatherable anymore and much more problems.

We need the new Islands in the Server Grid Editor asap, there is no other stable option.

@Jatheish any news on when we're going to get the new island(s) for the Server Grid Editor ?

If we're going to wipe our dedicated servers, we surely want to add the new island(s), that take a lot of time to calculate new powerstone positions, etc...
We need that the fastest possible before the new patch.

Please any Dev give an answer, we need it.

Thanks !

Well even if it work, it will never be a good solution.
Dev's need to remove the cap.
Adding that many lines in Game.ini will greatly decrease server performances.
They just need to remove the cap in the creatures themselves so like in Ark they start gaining exp after tamed with no cap or cap is really high.
But mods often let you tame level 1000 dinos and they gain exp.
Here it's a base level + exp max 120.
In Ark you gain tamed + start gain exp.
 

It just doesn't make any sense anyway to add 500 lines in the Game.ini to be able to level further if you want dinos level max 500 for example since each lines in the Game.ini add a demande to the system reading, so it slow down performances.

They have to find a better way like in Ark, you can have dinos level spawn at 300 and they still gain exp.

In Atlas its a base level + exp.
In Ark it's a tamed level + exp witch make sense to customize at your wish.

Ark server making was so much easier lol

Yes thats true, the worse thing about Atlas is almost every person that know the answers do not help/answer.

But basically if you know, your not good to manage a server with humans, if you do not know, your fucked up.

This happenned many times on our server and all i can see it is the database that seems to not seeing some informations.

I've joinned some company and after i readded them to their own company the "last connected" changed after they were re-added, but there is still a doubled character there.

It´s possible...same at ARK...

Well i've almost 6000 hours of Ark and that never happenned, i'm not telling you it's impossible but it happen actually way too often to not be a bug.

Important thing i've seen running the servers is the number of islands on each grid also, the more islands you put on a grid the more creature spawn you will have so demand is higher a bit. Also how many claims you allow per company / size of their base.

Hmmm I was trying it on a parrot, need to check some other things I guess.

The color chart is good, do not forget to put yourself in admin mode first
 

But then you need to target him correctly, i had problem with parrots since they are small. Try with a flashy color like 1 3 for the parrot region 1 is the main color region 0 is the neck.

I can confirm you it's working ive painted more than 30 parrots for the valentine day we gave them out to our players

Hello,

we are currenly having the issue, that our Server has often Ping Jumps from 40 - 255, if there are playing more then 10 Players, but only on 2 Grids A1 and A2.

Server Infos: 4x4 | Mods: Yes (I tested to deinstall the mods, its also lagy with mods) | Enough Ram/Cpu: Yes | Custom Map | 4-7 Islands per Grid

Does somebody had also problems and could fix them?

We encounter the same problem also from one of the last patch, but not the latest one.

Does that still work? 
At one point it was working properly but now with all changes it doesn't seems to have muc effects, anyone tried to set it even lower like 0.05 ?

Is there a way to make the age go faster or slower on a private server?  Or can you somehow change it to a spesific age. I would like to try out if fountains come in my server.

Thanks a lot.

 

Greets, Tella

Just go to a grid where are _PVE islands and spawn it with 

Cheat Summon FountainOfYouth_BP_C

If you have them always active it will show up.

Hi i've a problem only on 1 grid of 12 there is only turtles and fish that respawn

There is no land creatures.
There is no ocean treasure chests
There is no Ship of the Damned

Anyone got this bug ?

Yes that code only work if there is a _PVE island on the same grid, wonder if there is a spawn code for the altar under it that would fix this problem.

I am always sitting almost two updates behind official on our server. Perpetually out of cycle because of how often the game is updated. Can we please get someone to update our files more often than whenver someone looks at it? It feels like the unofficial server files are in some back room in the middle of the building and nobody goes in there unless there is a fire. Or can we get some way to contact the devs more easily?

In fact now they are doing a way better job than when it started.
I suggest you check this App_ID and look for Last Record Update:

On my server that I have been on, the problem of the NPC crew from the NPC in the freeport is present.  meaning you can't buy any crew from the NPC.

The fix that was done for the official server isn't working for this.  So does anyone know any fixes or a way/command to spawn NPC crew.

So an update, I have found everything except for Seaweed, Peat, Obsidian, Amethyst, Garnet and rock salt. I have done around 70 islands now and found some resources that weren't on the wiki like Ironwood and Limes. I honestly think the ones missing are not even in the game. As I have found that most of the resources do line up with the ending extension of the island name. Ex. Cl ending islands have irridum ET islands having Softwood, Darkwood, Hemp, Bamboo, Straw and pure silver nodes... 

We've found green olives somewhere also.

So I have been doing a rather tedious task since last night off and on occasionally testing out each island and flying over them on my dedicated server hosted off my computer about 30 islands at a time and I have started to notice a pattern with the island ending extensions (of their name) and their sub-levels in regards to resources. Wanted to share what I have with people so far and see what everyone thought. Typical the resources share are wood, thatch, fiber, stone, flint, and metal, with some variations between the coal - gems categories. (although some of this may be incomplete as I'm not trying to spend 30 minutes searching every nook and cranny of each island.. even at my current rate I'm still looking at a good 24+ hours of flying around reloading editor and swapping out islands.

Very nice work we are doing this also, if you ever want to compare with what we get vs our zone settings:

I had the same problem on my server, my Redis DB started to get bigger and bigger (it shouldn't go up more than 10/15 MB) and the only solution was to do a rollback with a previous save of the redis_atlasdb.rdb and all the Saved directory.

If you do this, you will get a rollback of all character, built, tamed and ship saved also... That is not an option.

It's in Atlas/Creatures, if you're using PrimalEarth path you will point to Ark stuff.
