Finally found the workaround myself,on an old ARK steam thread:

I've been having the same problem, but i notced that if u place the pillars first, then it works and it also doesnt stick through the ceiling which makes it look neater... :3

Not only do we get this horrible patch,making me farm all day for paste and metal to try make a suitable base,but now when I started a second floor at my base it doesn't let me place ceilings,saying :"Cant place Stone square ceiling:Requires Nearby Foundation Support".

There are foundations below it as its second floor.

I have also tried to lower a pillar all the way down,but nothing helps.even with those pillars getting same message...

Anyone got an idea how I can make this work please?

Find the differences:

what exactly is the point of building stone in PVE anyway?

Longer item life span,less repairs to keep up,better durability,better protection from wildlife attacks,to name a few,it also looks nice.

Literally never had this happen. You guys must build very weird. Never lost an animal in any base I have built. 

Your either very lucky or playing a different game

Glad my base is already build. 

So jealous now.

Yesterday was busy rebuilding my own,after people overlapped my claim and made it impossible to use.

At least got 40% done.

The regular way? 

travel the various Ancient ruins zones and leave a sloop by the closest beach to the cave entrance,in  each,until you find the right one.

The smart way?

Follow forum threads and discord for precise current locations.

I vote to keep foy mechanic as is. What needs to be fixed is the server crushing under large amount of users connected, all the technical bugs giving people with bad internet connection or low settings and also nerf Sod attacking helpless people coming from other zone with gun less ships.

The problem is they reused assets and copied the game yet learned nothing from Ark. 

This sentence has so many problems.. 

First theres nothing to be "learned" from assets of ARK.

This game is using the same engine as ARK,thats all.

 The devs claimed this game is completely different then ARK,and one of the reason ,im sure of , is this exact line of thinking,people love to do here in the forum.

And the engine is having same negative bugs,the ARK engine had,for the same reason,they are using the same engine. not an upgraded version or anything.from what I read they cant build better version of it,just live with the problems and find workarounds,the only fix is to scrap the engine and they dont want to do that obviously.

So what your basically saying: "They learned the ARK engine was flawed, they need to discard that engine and start brand new game engine,cause of those flaws."

See thats exactly what the devs didn't want!

Because that engine is a basis, to develop many great games,flawed but still great.

And no,they didn't want to start from scratch and just wipe all the hard work they did on the engine in ARK.they want to keep using that tool,until the day comes when they will work maybe on a new engine,only then will they "learn" from their mistakes and can improvise.but just like "Unity" or "Havoc" etc,building an engine is the most difficult part of the game..its like the chassis. and to scrap that cause of some flaws? yea maybe,not what they decided and as a customer you can decide thats a reason not to play.

You might counter react and say:"Its not the engine" well I cant argue with denial, but if your looking for a valid explanation of the current bugs etc thats what I can offer on my end.

If your talking about implementations,like the claim system,then again they said in their broadcast that like the engine,its a basic part of the game.scraping that will take a very long time like years,but they said they will try to tackle that in time.

rushed patches that break the game and screw people over, fixing something than suddenly breaking it again later, balancing/fixing things in a strange order that breaks parts of the game, adding features in a way that feels like they don't actually play the game, silence on important issues, and so on.

Yes thats how Wild Card operated,and Grapeshot born out of Wild Card use the same job mechanics.

They dont see the issue with this,they never did.

That might annoy a lot of people,but thats just how they work.and if you didn't like it,you shouldn't try an early access game from the makers of a game you already know you didn't like their work behavior..

Just come back after the release.

Many issues would be changed and dealt with by then like ARK was much better 3 years after it was only on Early release.

Letter to my mom:

Dear mom I love you!

sincerely yours:

Darcek!

Are there treasure maps above Journeyman(blue colored) levels?

Wandering cause never saw higher,only common,fine and journeyman.

Is there any reason im freezing to death now in the Tropical biom?

Comeon Grapeshot,I know you want things to be challenging but thats just an immersion breaker..

To add to the pain I was actually with my parrot and ostrich,both give fortitude buffs,still I was freezing to death..

Dont recall people in Jamaica walking around with furs..

Fountain of youth is not that hard once you know what to do,like so many stuff in ATLAS.

Best weapons of choice are the official forums and discord.

All you need is a sloop for fast travel,you can use the ramshackle one you get in free port thou its slower or make your own one with better sails.

With the x2 event on its even easier..

You need to go with only stuff your willing to lose,your sloop a bed ofc for re spawns(your going to die alot).

A good tip I got in global chat was to respec to all your points to health and stamina(like 90% to hp rest stam) and invest in sneaking 3.

From there is just follow the feeds find a location go there,find the closest shore to caves entrance,and just start running sessions,till you get it right.

Ehe..what you got against ARK?

Best game I ever played.. doh

One picture,says it all.

Im playing in EU PVE Sirens call server.

I recently stumbled on some islands in at least two zones so far(A11 AND e11),

Where I found islands,that dont show on the map,and nothing grows on them...alpha alpha islands? not sure are these forgotten islands or what..kinda dangerous you dont see nothing on map,boom you almost on a mountain with your boat..

I am literally in the Fing elephants face, getting F'ed up by its Fing attack and FEEDING DOESNT WORK....

FIX THIS NOW JESUS

Its very easy tbh,when I considered all the tames i did so far,elephant is right at the bottom if done right.

Wait till you try an Ostrich or a rhino,now that is insane,even parrot was harder for me to get.

if you play on EU PVE,your invited for taming session with me ill show you how easy it is.im on C10

For D12 you need a grappling hook. I made it into the cave, but the fountain is on a ledge that you can reach without grappling hook. 

 

I was just in D12,you absolutely dont need hook.

just noobs.theres a narrow path all the way to the pedestal and foy.

WTB Server back up!

My ATLAS Heroine addiction is startting to give me the shivers.. 

Finally got to C6 Golden ruins,lol..

So many boats..got stcuk on a boat,

Many toxic players,trying to mislead you.. and the mobs omg..

Seem alot of people go in and carry relics ,they got from boss,that I have no idea how they got(if his on ther island thers tons of high level agro,mobs range between 65-250),but i followed this guy girl in front of me looted a bag i saw.

Inside was a relic.I used it and boom got a power stone. So no FOY like people said but at least go me a stone

Wow..what a nice long post about a wild goose chase,or ghost chase lol..

Question: 

Is this even viable for a solo player?

I know these areas are drowning with high level SODs,i guess one can try to navigate thought their deadly web,do the mobs in the islands sink your ship? Like gators..do you need to build something you'll know you'll lose?

I saw on you tube, one guy trying to reach the power stone location,the island is field with alpha levels Cyclops and other mobs who i presume one shot you.

He did managed to get to the cave that was filled just like the good ol` caves in ARK with murderous beasts(bats,spiders etc also levels far above regular)

On a far ledge,on the opposite side seem to be your goals,with a ravine between of death mobs.

Can you simply run there? need a grappling hook? is it doable for a solo player?

So mid travel,patch landed,

After the server came back up I lost 3 NPC crew members... almost got sunk by SOD as they were re spawned all over the zone after the patch,at least saw 8 in my zone C10,then when I came back to my base I found out some of my items vanished as well,like had green grappling hook,vanished.

back at the base 2 of my Rhinos swimming in the water,third dissapeared without trace.this also weird as they were in the Pen with many other tames,only they were in the water and most my tames are on Neural so if agro occurred most of them been out as well..but nope,only 2 rhinos in the sea,and one vanished.

Ok also had skills gone,and 2 levels and my respec that was available was saving it...

after playing 10 min,suddenly it came back?

Really nice patch! thanks!

do you have food, gold and repair supplies available in a ship storage and larder on both ships?

yup..

Well last ive checked.ill recheck to make sure.

Updated:

Ive checked all seem well.here is the contents of my storage box:

As you see we got all the needed materials.

As for the mess Table,they have plenty of Berry as well.

Whats he difference between the green and yellow ones?(all these NPCs btw are in my company) :

And to every coin theres two sides.

Imagine a beautiful lush forest,full of resources and metal.

SO the owners were nice to leave a yellow flag for building,so one company build a hut for contesting the flag,failing of course but also destroying half the forest,and another idiot,left on the other side wooden fence foundation with a thatch wall,which destroyed all the resources and the other side of the forest.its just desolated piece of land now,useless to anyone,as its landlocked as well..
