It is a 5 length ship built in the Advanced Shipyard once players have found blueprints for it. Blueprints can be found in shipwrecks. Unlocked in the Advanced Shipwright Skill It comes with 6 tame railings that can store 5 tames each (30 Total). Resources for a base version: Wood - 2500 Thatch - 2000 Fibers - 2000 Metal - 20 New Modular Ship UI We’ve added a popularly voted on request to the game in the form of additional UI for captains to know where leaks and damage is on their modular ships. There are 3 stages for durability: Green - Durability is good Yellow - Durability is moderate Red - Durability is poor If the portion of the ship is flashing, it means this area has a leak. We will look to make this UI element colorblind friendly in the future. Map Menu UI Visual Revamp The Atlas tab map UI has been revamped visually for an easier navigation of the regions. Instead of having dropdown tabs of the regions on the left, all regions available will be shown on one Overworld map. Players will be able to click and see all regions available on the overworld map. To get to the Overworld map click on the icon of the globe in the top left of your map screen. The region the player is currently in on the Overworld map is highlighted in green. Open Water Servers There is a new way to traverse through the atlas’ regions besides portals. There are now intermediate open water servers that connect regions to one another. There are no islands to be found here, just open seas and the treasure and dangers that come along with it. They are known as open waters and there are four of them within the world. They are connected through all sides of the Central Waters region. Depending on which cardinal direction the player goes through determines which region they travel to. Northern Sea - North Pole, Eastern Waters, Central Waters, Western Waters Eastern Sea - North Pole, Eastern Waters, Africa, Central Waters Southern Sea - Central Waters, Africa, Antarctica, South America Western Sea - North Pole, Central Waters, South America, Western Waters Industrial Wonder Content The industrial path of Wonders is slowly making its way into the Atlas. Transient and Static nodes for this path can be found and harvested exclusively within the Uncharted Sea region. Industrial Wonder: Power Nodes Transient Node - Geothermal Vents This transient node is similar to the Army of the Damned ones in that they have a time limit of one week before they deplete, despawn, and respawn at a different location, but they spawn more inland. Players will need to craft the new Ore Miner structure in order to harvest the resource of these nodes. These transient nodes produce a new resource type of coal: Brimstone Static Nodes There are two variants of Industrial static nodes - Lava vents and Sulfur pits. There is no need to create a harvesting structure for either as Pathfinders who’ve traveled here have built them already, but they seem to have perished. Lava Vents produce a new metal: Orichalcum. Sulfur Pits produce a new type of coal: Pure Sulfur Both of these resources are needed to craft new Industrial structures and gear now and in the future. Lava static nodes allow players to build the Industrial Smithy. Sulfur pit static nodes will get new crafting recipes in the future!

Visit new areas based on geographical locations Regions Available Rookie Cove - An area for all pathfinders to cruise the seas in peace. A cove for all to gather their bearings and test their newfound abilities until they are comfortable to progress full sail ahead! Central Waters - The largest area in the game and host to a healthy mix of tropical/temperate islands, but also an ancient evil told in Atlantean myths. Can you find all the power stones and defeat the greatest challenge? South America - A region home to tropical/equatorial areas. However, there seems to be faint chanting amongst this region. Will you be able to find the source of this hidden power? Africa - A region home to the hottest desert Islands around. Crocodiles, venomous snakes and lots and lots of sand call this region home. Antarctica - The harshest sub-zero climates, icebergs, penguins, and illusive yeti's populate the islands around here. North Pole - The north pole is similar to Antarctica, but to the north. Same freezing weather but perhaps the treasures here are the defining difference. Atlas Menu Map The Atlas Menu has been modified to fit the new regions available. The following tabs are available for you to look at. Overworld - The first map drafted by early cartographers. A general outline of the world is available. Rookie Cove - The home to the starting, self-titled region Central Ocean - You will find the map to the Central Waters region here Mediterranean Sea - The blazing hot desert islands of Africa region is here Central Maw - Uncharted waters, but rumor has it that the Kraken's lair is here South Atlantic Ocean - Tropical Oasis of the South America Region are found here Arctic Ocean - The extreme colds of the North Pole Region are located here Southern Ocean - The freezing depths of the Antarctica Region are here Portals Atlantean technology has arisen from the dark depths of abysses unknown. With it however, it looks like traveling from region to region has become a whole lot quicker, but perhaps even more dangerous. Pathfinder Portals - The privateers before you have taken it upon themselves to start studying the portals as well as providing safe passage through these portals. Located within Rookie Cove and Central Waters, these portals will transport you between these regions! Perpetual Portals - It seems the Atlanteans created a sort of oceanic highway. A free, reliable way of travel between regions. They have arisen from the depths and are available for all to travel through and explore! Damaged Portals - In the thousands of years Atlanteans have gone missing, not all of the portals have been kept in functional shape or have been left unfinished. These portals need some extra gem power to travel through. Be warned these do not stay open forever! Cost: Magic Marrow: 50 Gold Coin: 250 Central Portal - Seemingly, this seems to be the first type of portal ever created! However, it seems to have been keeping something away rather than allowing others in. Located in the Central Waters Region only, it seems to need power stones to open. Will you be the first to see what's on the other side? Power Node system Transient Nodes Transient Nodes are special locations on islands that allow for unique resource harvesting.

Trade Offers remain active after use, and can be part of more trades as long as there are enough resources in the Warehouse. Currently all shipments are virtual and do not generate Trading Ships that can be attacked.

This system is foundational for the upcoming Trade System.

This means, during bonus rate events, imprint timers will automatically adjust to compensate for the quicker maturation. v401.10 - Disabled Claim Flag height limit on all Official Network. Functionality still works and can be used on Unofficial Servers, a word from our Lead Designer: v401.9 - Disabled Claim Flag height limit on PvE servers (only meant to be active on PvP) v401.5 (Server 401.8) - Islands on the Official Network now have a maximum z-value for how high Claim Flags can be placed, unique to the island. These are based on the highest terrain points, before considering mountains, large rock formations or steep pillars. The in-game HUD will let you know whether your current claim flag is in a valid location. If your claim flag is not in a valid location, when attempting to place a new one you will receive HUD feedback informing you whether a spot is valid or not. Players will have approximately a month (Mid/Late November) to reposition their flag to a new location. We'll provide a more specific date closer to the patch which changes this. When placing the flag at the new spot, it will automatically destroy the old claim flag and transfer the inventory into the new flag. - Unofficials can activate this setting by changing the following config in their game.ini: MaxSettlementFlagZ = 999999 (default, which means FlagZ can be placed at 99999 z height above the per-island specific height). This is an offset value, if you adjust this, it will use the per-island specific max height + the offset. For example, making it 3000 will look for the highest 'legitimate' location on an island, and then add an additional 3000 z to that height to determine the flag's maximum location. The following game.ini config can be used to destroy all invalid claim flags, please be advised that this cannot be reversed once done: bDestroyInvalidSettlementClaimFlags=true - Fixed a bug which prevented Unofficial Servers on Xbox from being able to see the map v400.63 (Server Only) - Online Players (no changes towards offline or NPC Crew) can only contest flags (defending or attacking) when in one of the following states: > When a player is grounded (e.g walking on the ground) > When a player is seated (e.g sitting in a chair) > When a player is riding a creature (This means player states such as climbing ladders/picks, gliding, etc will no longer contest flags) - Contesting flags can only happen when a player is above -300 on the z-axis (basically, above the ocean/sea level) - Code change for client compatibility v400.62 - Voice chat fixes - Fixed a bug that prevented you from being able to modify the radius-checks for Yelling, Whispering, and Talking. - Fixed a bug related to locking on v400.61 - Fixed 2 client side crashes that could occur on server-load or transition v400.60 - Fixed description on song "A Mockatoo Once Told Me" - Dynamic nameplate scaling enabled on ships - Fix for NPC crew members occasionally missing the accordion visually in their hands v400.59 - Fixed forge giving graphite instead of base coal - Fixed typo in Pistol Steady Aim skill. - Very tall character's head is no longer cut off in the inventory view - NPC Crew Accordion: npc's can equip accordion and play songs("loaded" on accordion or first in inventory) using multi-use option "Play Song" song is consumed after start, buffs will be applied after first loop of song is completed song will loop until "Stop Song" option is selected from multi-use v400.58 - Fixed a bug which prevented silos from paying/feeding crew on Lawless Servers - Fixed a bug which caused ground clutter to flicker on Xbox v400.57 - Added missing ceiling when building ramshackle sloop with vendor in Freeport - Enabled Revolver reload mini-game - Fix: When you use the map camera while piloting ship, the compass won't hide from the view - Added missing Forest dye craftable to grill - Changed salted fish stack size from 30 to 50 - Moved pipe engram into pipes folder - Applied treasure gold multiplier buff to: floatsam/aodloots/shipwrecks - Lawless regions on officials should no longer show any "island points" on the map. - Beds on cooldown are now visible (it will indicate when a player can spawn on them) v400.56 - Fixed a bug which causes your map to be black with HDR enabled on Xbox v400.54 - Volumetric fog and ground clutter improved and enabled for Xbox One (and Xbox One S) - Fixed a bug where the shift key would stop responding on Xbox - Fixed a bug which would cause the camera to always be selected when pulling out your map with a gamepad - Fixed a bug which causes your map to be black with HDR enabled on Xbox - Enabled multiple client-side options for players to disable HUD/UI clutter - You can now fill water barrels directly from waterspouts - Improved Army of the Damned animation on Xbox One and Xbox One S - Right bumper now cycles between two inventory UIs - R3 now toggles use states (for example light fires) again - Fixed a bug which made navigating between rows in two separate inventories reset location - Fixed a bug where some fantasy creatures weren't tamable on Golden Age servers - Lawless Servers now check for structures (at a small radius) before spawning folliage to prevent trees/rocks/bushes from spawning inside bases. - Fix to destroy sunken ships when last structure is removed - Added HUD callout on handheld map to re-center on players - Fixed a server-side crash for Modded Servers which have modified their loot tables v400.51 - Fixed structure tiling textures.

Notes on the harpoon change: we feel that harpoons have become too strong in the meta to the point where they dominate ship PvP.

I had been dealing with this issue for some time, only the sound in atlas was not working, all setting were confirmed correct. repairing with this https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=8109 and then run the web installer, https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=35 and then restart your computer. fixed it for me hope this helps some people, i saw heaps of post with issues and no answers, so thought i post this.

Updated 12/30/18 Okay, so I have done my setup from scratch and I'm going to provide a step by step walk-through. I believe this is a good starting point for any new server owner looking to get up and running for the first time, or someone looking to play "Singleplayer" (Note: From my testing, the server needs to interact with Steam bi-directionally even for LAN/SP- some ISP's such as cellular hot-spots or NAT conditions may not work!). While this guide can be applied to all server types, the examples are geared towards a 1x1 grid. This can also be used as a debug process for advanced server owners to test things: _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Downloads: BAT Files & 1x1 Map Grid Template: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1MQ-8-WTta10p-TbAmnJ3DbfmNsDjaLsD (AtlasSrvBats.zip) ServerGridEditor: https://github.com/GrapeshotGames/ServerGridEditor (Hit "Clone or Download" then "Download Zip") steamcmd: http://media.steampowered.com/installer/steamcmd.zip NOTE: Make sure you update ServerGridEditor when changes are made to the git! Or even better- setup GIT and have it pull updates for you! _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Server Setup: 0) Create a directory where you will put the server files (Eg. X:\AtlasSrv) 0a) Open "AtlasSrv" and create "steamcmd" and "AtlasTools" 0b) Extract steamcmd.zip into "steamcmd" and run "steamcmd.exe" 1 time to set it up. When the prompt shows "Steam>" with an OK message above you can close this window. "steamcmd" folder should look like this now: 0c) Go back to "AtlasSrv". Open "AtlasSrvBats.zip". Extract the "LAUNCH_ATLAS_00.bat" and "ATLAS STEAMCMD.BAT" to this folder. 0d) Right-Click "ATLAS STEAMCMD.bat" and click Edit. Replace the contents of this file with (Change "X:\AtlasSrv" in both entries with the directory you are using): start /wait /high X:\AtlasSrv\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe ^ +login anonymous ^ +force_install_dir X:\AtlasSrv\ ^ +app_update 1006030 validate ^ +quit 0e) Save & Close. Run "ATLAS STEAMCMD.bat. You may be prompted with firewall permissions, you must "Allow Access". (This process will take some time) 1) Your Atlas server directory should look like this upon completion: Congrats! Your server files are now downloaded and on the latest version. You can use ATLAS STEAMCMD.bat at any time to validate and upgrade the server. Now onto the map! _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Map: 1) Extract "ServerGrid1x1" folder from "AtlasSrvBats.zip" to the "AtlasTools" folder 2) Extract the ServerGridEditor zip to the "AtlasTools" folder. Open "ServerGridEditor.exe" within the "SeverGridEditor-master" folder 2a) Open the "Island Editor" (ServerGridEditor.exe), "Open project" and navigate to the ServerGrid.json file we extracted into "AtlasTools" 2b) Click "Project > Create" in the top left. Copy the "Atlas ID" and CANCEL. 3) Click "Project > Edit": 4) Paste the "Atlas ID" you have on your clipboard into the "Atlas ID" of this window. 5) Change "Friendly Name" to your Server Name. Change "Atlas Password" if you want a password on the server (This will be needed to keep people out for singleplayer!) 6) Click "Edit" at the bottom. 7) Ctrl+Left Click on the map: 7a) Set "Name" to what you want for name of your Freeport (Grid) 7b) Set "IP" to your Server external IP (whatismyip.com). Server internal IP (192.168.x.x) can be used, but this will disable public access! 7c) Hit "Save" at the bottom (You can make more changes later but in first-time situation, it's nominally best to use default settings). 7d) Back in Island Editor (ServerGridEditor), Click Export > Local Export ALL. Click ok to the default location. Popup should say "Success". 7e) Click Project > Save. Navigate to the "AtlasTools" folder, create a new folder "Live project", use the file name "ServerGrid" and "Save". (This way you can edit more later and keep the template untouched!) 7f) Close Island Editor. Open "AtlasTools/ServerGridEditor-master/Export/" folder. Cut/Copy the "ServerGrid" folder and 2 JSON files: 7g) Navigate to "AtlasSrv/ShooterGame" and paste: 7h) So close! Navigate back to "AtlasSrv" and Right-Click "LAUNCH_ATLAS_00.bat" and Edit. Replace the contents with (Replacing "X:\AtlasSrv" with your directory, and "SeamlessIP" with External IP) start /high X:\AtlasSrv\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGameServer.exe Ocean?ServerX=0?ServerY=0?AltSaveDirectoryName=00?ServerAdminPassword=123?MaxPlayers=30?ReservedPlayerSlots=25?QueryPort=57561?Port=5761?SeamlessIP=1.2.3.4 -log -server -NoBattlEye exit @Firedragon's Command line if the above does not work for you: 7i) Save & Close. Navigate to "AtlasTools/redis-server". Run "redis-server_start.bat". Wait for the command line to say ready to accept connections. 7j) Configure port forwarding with these ports on your router. Change the IP to match the one you put on the Map file: 7k) The moment you've been waiting for; Navigate back to "AtlasSrv" and Run "LAUNCH_ATLAS_00.bat". When the command prompt displays how many cores it is running on, your server is up! OPTIONALS redis-server: redis-server.conf has options to change your database password and how much RAM (maxmemory in the conf) the database will use in bytes. I personally set the maxmemory to 1GB (1073741824) for my 1x1 testbed. I don't play often locally so I dont know the impact other than a possible crash if the DB runs out of memory (redis does require a pagefile, so I think it will start writing to the disk if it runs out of memory? not 100%) . The DB file is saved on the disk in the same folder so you can track it's size over time and adjust accordingly. I'm not sure on the specifics, but I would say it's safe to keep the max memory 2.5x higher than the database size AT MINIMUM (to account things like the database copying itself and swap space). For sake of argument me playing by myself without doing much the database was about 90MB, so 1GB RAM allocation should be plenty of breathing room for the forseen future. If you change your password in the redis-conf (for added security), you must also update your passwords in the map file under Project > Edit (You can see the old password "foobared" in one of the images above. These should reflect your conf file). AtlasSrvBats.zip also comes with an undocumented, but included "LAUNCH ATLAS ALL.bat". This file can be placed in "X:AtlasSrv" (Your server's root directory with the other bats) and be used to start redis-server and server/s in one shot. It is currently setup to launch redis-server and the first grid server. Additional grids can be launched by un-commenting (removing the #) from the corresponding lines, and making a copy of "LAUNCH_ATLAS_00.bat" for each additional grid (LAUNCH_ATLAS_01.bat, etc), and editing their launch strings accordingly (Correct X/Y, ports, etc). TROUBLESHOOTING Still can't connect to server after following guide? There are many different networking situations based on individual setup and ISP that no 1 guide can account for all. Most issues connecting beyond following this guide come from user error, improper hardware configuration (PC/Router/Modem), or Local/ISP NAT restrictions (Some net providers and most cellular hot-spot providers, see CGN https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT). Some users have reported finding "NAT Acceleration" or similar options in their routers and disabling them has allowed them to connect. Double-check port settings on router and for Windows Firewall IN & OUT. Sometimes 1 digit missing or out of place is the simplest error. Make sure your launch bat parameters and map file details match your port settings in your router & firewall. Check within router (and modem, if accessible) for options to allow "Open" NAT (Sometimes set to secure by default) Make sure there is no "NAT Acceleration" taking place If you router has no buried NAT features, you can attempt this workaround: A NAT Loopback workaround method for some newer routers and ISP modem/router combos that do not support NAT Loopback: https://forum.sector3studios.com/index.php?threads/workaround-if-you-cannot-join-your-own-dedi-server.4672/ You -CANNOT- ever connect directly to the internal IP of the server. You must connect from your External IP (forming a hairpin): If your client PC IP is 192.168.1.2 and your server PC IP is 192.168.1.3 You share a WAN/Internet IP (whatismyip.com) that you use to connect as if you were an external client: 192.168.1.2 -> WAN IP -> 192.168.1.3 steam://connect/WAN IP:Port (Replace WAN IP and Port with corresponding numbers) 192.168.1.2 -> 192.168.1.3 direct connect will never resolve (UNABLE TO QUERY INVITE) with current method used by Grapeshot to force steam usage. If all else fails, like some cellular mobile hotspots, your ISP may be using a CGN (Carrier-Grade NAT). You can read more on CGN here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT If you have a CGN'd IP from your ISP, you will not be able to host a server until things can be run completely local, or your ISP can move you to an IP pool that is not governed by their CGN implementation. As a very last resort, if your dedicated server is online and visible to others, but you cannot connect to your own local server, and the NAT Loopback fix does not work- Consider using a VPN like Windscribe (free 10/20GB month with tweet/voucher promo). http://windscribe.com - You want to use the VPN on the PC you are playing on, NOT the server. Doing this will give you a virtual hairpin where you can connect to your own external IP. If you are playing on the same computer as the server, you will need to use a VPN program that is application specific (Proxifier), and point it towards AtlasGame.exe. This way, the VPN becomes your hairpin back to your external/WAN IP only for ATLAS, while the server continues to do it's thing unaffected by the VPN. UPDATES 12/30/18 - Updated download links, cleaned up guide to reflect changes Good luck , Sailors! -Teach

correct about the stuff. But u didnt realize that peace phase islands themselves are already the issue. THey shouldnt even exist in the first place. I went into detail about all of this in my posts (including player tracking tools like ship icons, join notifications etc.). Look them up

You promised a game where either big clans (more than 20 players), medium clans (10-20), small clans (3-9 players) and solo players (1-2) could play and enjoy the game. This is why you created colonies. Now nobody is playing the game (2k people average). WHY? Of course you can have your own opinion, but you are not players, you are devs, and your point of view is NOT independent. I am a player, a solo player or small clan player. You promised something that has not been fulfilled. I still cannot play because every time I have a ship, the day after is sunk (dramatically easily) by a random player that just pass by its side. Simple: after 4 hours farming for a ship, I cannot even play with it because once is finished is sunk. This happens to many many players, and its FRUSTRATING. Thats why we stopped playing, and every time we give ATLAS a second, third, fourth chance... its the same frustration. That's why the player base is still going down and down and down. Solutions? well I dont have all the answers but here is one simple change that everyone would accept: A fully anchored ship (and for fully anchored lets say that 24 hours needs to be anchored) in your own island (means you have to be the owner, or an ally of the owner) it's invulnerable (just planks, sails and decks). You can still raid the ship content, kill the crew and take your reward during the 9h window, but you cannot sink the ship itself. This rule would protect solo players, small clans and people that doesnt play every single day. If you use your ship, it's vulnerable at least 9 hours after you anchor it in your own island. Would give all players LESS FRUSTRATION, because as long as they can maintain and pay for their island, and the island itself is not lost, they can maintain the ships. A long term anchored ship (more than 24h anchored) it's not a thread to anybody so why you let random players to sunk them so easily?? it only gives frustration to the owner of the ship, and give him reasons enough to say goodbye to ATLAS, and in the other hand does not give the raider, the random player that sunk the ship so easily any special reward, it's even boring to sink ships randomly. This is a simple rule but something you can try if you want to see your player base grow. Lowering the price of the game to 8 euros or less is not the answer, the answer is to make the game LESS FRUSTRATING for the player base.

The treasure map i got say i can get at less 105 gold for it, but when i dig it out, it only give me 85. is there something i done wrong?

The patch that changed the gold values of the whales may have bit off more than what was listed. Gold from whales reduced only by 17,5%, not 35% Mean whale was giving 1,700-2,200 before changes. Getting a flat 1,100 give or take change. Monstrous Whale was giving 1,200-1,600 before changes.. Getting a flat 700 give or take change. we noticed all of the whales are level 1 now.. and not 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, ect. which could explain why the flat rate we are seeing. 1,700 ~ 35% = 1,105 1,200 ~ 35% = 780 | So clearly we did not go back to a 17.5% as stated.

Which one of the timers shown on this image are the correct one? Is it the 20 day timer at the top or the 3 day timer in green at the bottom of the flag? Also, if it is the 20 day timer... How does a company with 250+ claims get 20 days?

Dear Developers of Atlas, When you release an update please make sure you do it properly. Make sure you test patch before released. Then create the build package properly, this includes small details such as a build ID. Servers may need to know certain information as being correct and have developed or using that tools that rely on information such as this. Thank You.

Today ive been using the most out of the x2 bonus, and spent the whole day doing maps, as my home server EU PVE N8 keeps crashing alot, so we set sail out of there, and started doing maps, when i got back to my zone earlier, my level reverted back to the level of what it was before i left, but when i teleport back to my ship in another zone, the levels come back. Im not sure why this is happening and im guessing its a bug or a desync of the server or something, but i would be happy if i could get some enlightenment on this issue Edit: ive taken some screenshots in game, https://imgur.com/a/hEOIQyW Taken at main base, and at a ship in another zone

EU PvE. When the change came in that removed sleeping players, a single player who was up early that morning took quite a few claims from other companies on the island where our base is (they had 3 and took a further 28 from others). As we know, very shortly after that another patch landed that enabled the 20+ days PvE protection. It seems that the same day that they took all of these claims and dismantled other players' bases, they stopped playing and our company has been watching the claim flags PvE expiration slowly count down towards 00:00:00:00 remaining, which should have been today. Should. As you can see from the screenshot, the CLAIM FLAG has gone past 00:00:00:00 and started counting negative. In this screenshot, the claim flag is showing approximately 1 minute and 30 seconds after it reached zero and continued to count negative. Trying to place my own claim flag shows instead that there is just over 5 days of "PvE Claim Flag Upkeep" remaining. It seems that the enemy claim flag is wrong, but I don't know that I trust either right now. For reference, it's not possible that there is another enemy claim in the area that has 5 days on it - this is a single claim flag that is on the edge of our territory. Please can we get some consistency?

I have finally been able to start testing most of the cook able foods but i found most do not give the vitamins they are meant to.I have pasted most of them below monarch cake only gives blue vit rosemary chicken only give blue shrunken head only gives pink vit bubble and squeek only gives yellow fish and chips gives yellow and blue but should give blue and orange vit debs pudding gives blue but not orange vit creme brulee gives blue but not yellow vit Pork pie gives pink but not yellow hot cocoa gives blue but not pink

Trying to edit the imprinting times on babies. I copy pasted over the ark stats that i had on the previous ark servers i ran. But the baby cuddle interval will not change. I have tried .2 which is where i had it before. Then .03 then .5 and every one of them always leads to a 8 hour next imprint requirement. Is there a different code that im supposed to put in for it? Or is this stat currently broken in the game? Thanks!

I have a server I host my dedicated server on. The server itself is running fine and my friends can all connect to the server, but I myself from my own rig can't connect to the server. I've tried the loopback fix, I've tried turning off all firewalls just to be sure it's not that, I've tried the different ports, all ports are obviously forwarded properly otherwise my friends wouldn't be able to connect. I can only seem to connect through a VPN but there has to be an alternative to this. My computer is running win 10 My server is running windows server 2019 Does anyone here have any ideas of what could be going on? When adding the server manually through the local IP using the correct port it seems to work in showing the game being online but it just tells me 'Unable to query server info for invite' PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This issue exists since the beginning. Is it so difficult to modify a bit config to correct angle of handling and weight sails? Bit more realism for sailing funs, Please.

Well the fact that over 60% of the people are on unofficial which it shows in the remaining 750 or so on steam charts after the 500 on official already tells you something. plenty of suggestions. Offline raid protection. And not like the kind you are thinking that can be exploited by just not ever getting on. Specific raid times like Conan exiles would be sufficient. All 24 hours is pvp including players and ships at all times. Base raiding has a time window. Some might not like but but that really doesn’t matter. This is about getting more players in an not the appeasement of the tiny current player count. no more modular ships. That was by far the worst idea they ever had. It got rid of one of the fun aspects of the game and important as well. If they even build one more stupid modular ship we will find out exactly how stupid and worthless they are as devs. stop changing the map. Nobody asked for that and we all know that is just an excuse to have to wipe the game. They aren’t fooling anyone with their bullshit excuse. They can even lie correctly. of course fix bugs(even they even have the skill to do so). They need to at the very least spend 1 full month not adding ANYTHING and just simple spend every waking moment fixing bugs. Nothing else other than that. They won’t do this because they are stupid and can’t realize them adding something in just to break something else is a very bad idea. turn rates up like unofficial servers do. That is a big reason why people play unofficial. Once again we aren’t really caring about the 200-250 that still play official pvp. They really aren’t important at all. In fact it is safe to say they are also responsible for the game failing as well so they are of no importance. once time has been spent fixing bugs to a very responsible amount, content will be good to add in. Content needs to be pve and story focused. Why? Because pvp and pve will both benefit from it that is why. Finally give a story behind the game. Hell even ark was a sandbox as well but evolved into a very good story. pvp is already pvp. That part is done and has been done for awhile now. No pvp additions need to be made anymore. finally, fix every single bug there is and I mean every one. At this stage it should only be fine tuning of small bugs and then do an official release of the game with an announcement stating the measures took and the bugs being fixed. even if you are correct and there is only one person, as long as he dedicates his time to bugs and makes the correct decisions I outlined like no more modular ships/map changes/raid windows, he will be able to improve the game. the key is not making bad decisions. If they change the map they screwed up. If they add more modular ships they screwed up. They get no excuses for early access anymore. They are making bad decisions and that is why they are failing. Not because it’s alpha and not because is hard, they are making stupid decisions so they will get no respect or excuses until they make the right decisions.

Ahoy Pathfinders! New land masses be appearin' on the horizon! The harsh climate and lack of water sources will make this area challenging to live on, but shapes of a mysterious building can be made out through thick fog covering part of the island. Monumental achievements await pathfinders seeking to call this Wonderous island home. With these changes comes a new map, a wipe and a new season for ATLAS! We’re taking the first step into building upon the vast world and wide seas of ATLAS. With this update, we are merging the NA and EU PVP servers into one large global server that we will continue to expand on as we work with the community to shape the ATLAS world. A big thank you to our passionate Pathfinders who helped steer our sails towards this grand new direction. We look forward to continuing to work with the community to enrich the world with more lands to explore and seas to discover! Servers will be going down to deploy the update tomorrow night, 12/15 at around 7:00 PM Pacific Time. The next patch is expected to be more focused on bug fixing and optimization as we design and flesh out our next steps for expanding the ATLAS map. We are also working on creating a public facing issue tracker to better address the community’s concerns in balance with ongoing development efforts. Please join us on the Official ATLAS Discord here for all the latest happenings!

Final Note Again, we would like to emphasize that ATLAS is still in Early Access, meaning many things can and will likely continue to drastically change - even in the middle of development. Anything discussed is only up to date as of the moment it is posted. Features and changes that ultimately make it to the next patch, as well as timing, may be different from what was previously discussed. As always, we appreciate the suggestions and feedback from the community. Please keep them coming! Thank you for all of your support!

Biomes for breeding are correct the temperature can be different due to height or different sides of the same island. You the breeder has a couple of ways to achieve success. You can stay in the mating biome and raise the babies which could require A lot of iceboxes and fires or grills. Also, you need to know you cannot breed them on a boat in the correct biome it will say "not desirable biome for mating". You have to be on land in the correct biome. I will take animals on a boat put them on land breed them then ship them back to temperate this is easier with giraffes elephants and rhinos cause the gestation is 6 hours or thereabouts. I know some people who set up bases in the correct biomes and breed and raise them there although this is more hands-on until the animal gets 10%. I breed in the correct biome ship them back to temperate and use a raised floor with campfires underneath. This I found is easiest for me doing it solo one fire is give or take 1-1.5 C degree change. I just set the fires to load them with at least 1k wood and this will last for 8 hours which is what rhinos elephants giraffes razortooth tourtugars require to get to 10%. I know some people use torches. I found in tropical and desert the temp swing from day to night is so great its hands-on till you get to 10%. You can do veggies eaters with berries though they spoil fast. A good rule for the survival of your babies which is overkill but works is one trough per baby. Meat eaters Razortooth lions tigers etc should have cooked meat this last about 13 hours with one trough per baby full. Once they get past the first day they eat a lot less. One trough per baby first night is a good formula for success. Egg incubation I only do in temperate with grills and you have to find the mix right now in my egg incubator I have 13 grills arranged in a special pattern which I use for razor tooth and tortugar eggs it a set and forget configuration that incubates the 4-hour eggs. Once you can load the baby with 6 slots of 100% food they will live till they eat off the trough some animals only need 5 slots but each type of animal is different. Also, the time that the food expires is different a lot of breeders grow potatoes cause these are the best for veggie eaters. Your Welcome, Skeetathon skkkkkeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet PS. You guys are lucky that we that have been doing it from day one showed the devs, in the beginning, the temperature affected the animal for the whole time period so the only way we did it, in the beginning, was by smoking crack rocks.

I've got servers that are refusing to start up properly. Just go to ShooterEntry. This only seems to occur if the ServerX=0?ServerY=0 arguments are present in the command line. If I remove them, they start up to the correct map. One of these servers is running Blackwood, so they don't actually need the commands, however the large cluster of servers clearly does. This issue has only started occuring since the most recent update. Does anyone know of a fix?

So I downloaded the map editor from the github recommended by the devs, and it doesnt even have the teleport option in the help menu or anything. I downloaded one that Skarvig showed in his video, which had the teleport options, (which didn't work) but his has the option to pick where you go to when you go to a new grid. Mine does not have "Override travel destination" option. Where can I get the latest copy of the editor with all the correct features?! Thanks! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PURoHAv7OqM - Skarvig video source

Here you are my friend @Realist https://antihax.github.io/ Top right can choose to display the discovery point locations island tames and rescources and a couple of other things. This is not 100% correct and many zones are missing some discoveries but all rescources seem to be correct. Some islands are rotated on this map to as to what they are in game (correct island and placement just rotated) for these islands the discovery points can be found at the coords provided and the location of the black circle on map is not correct. Best to still take a spyglass for discoveries as this map does not display altitude.

Thought I’d comment cause you haven’t gotten a correct answer. Diving platforms can be placed while being built for sure. They are under railings in the smithy. You want diving platform (kraken). I believe this can be done anchored in a dock afterwards as well but I just put them on beforehand. I have not been able to attach a cargo rack. Nor have I see a cog with a cargo rack. Just diving platforms and cannons.

The time it takes for the game to register that I am turning my ship is beyond slow.. Devs please before your actual launch correct this issue. adjusting sensitivity does not change anything there is actual seconds of delay from getting on helm and turning your ship or adjusting sails before something actually happens.

Hey i just wanted to throw this out there being as i had such a hard time figuring it out, i seen many others with the same issue and not once did anyone ever reply or try to help them. Alas, The problem is. After Creating a Dedicated Server on my Server PC and using my Custom 3x3 grid i was able to launch into my server with friends and play just fine for however long. Eventually a server must be restarted and this is where the problem came into play. As soon as i restarted the server cluster, Upon startup of the servers i was greeted with a lovely "Fatal Error". Of course these are common with atlas but this one however had me stumped. I recreated a new map from Scratch, Removed any bugged islands, checked ports on grids and port forwarding on router, i even went as far as to run a 3x3 with no added code , single island per grid and still the same. I followed the guides found from MANY different sites and that's where i was misled, They all inform you to use SteamCMD to install atlas then use an Serverstart.bat file to bootup the server. This is all fine but the code they give you is this start X:\AtlasSrv\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGameServer.exe Ocean?ServerX=0?ServerY=0?AltSaveDirectoryName=10?ServerAdminPassword=123?MaxPlayers=20?ReservedPlayerSlots=0?QueryPort=55761?Port=5561?SeamlessIP=x.x.x.x -log -server -NoBattlEye exit The code is Correct minus the changes you need to make to allow it to find your server, What they don't explain is that this line: "AltSaveDirectoryName=10" CANNOT be used in every .bat for each grid, What this does is set the save directory for all the loaded files on the server grid like Structures, Ships, Tames etc. When each grid saves each of their files to the same folder the previous grid files are being overwritten thus causing a fatal error when it tries to reload the server. To remedy this chang this line to a different number for each grid, For example, my Grid is 3x3 so for grids "A1-0,0" "B1-1,0" and "C1-2,1" i would change this to: AltSaveDirectoryName=00 AltSaveDirectoryName=10 AltSaveDirectoryName=20 Or you can use your own digits or even letters, these will simply be the names of the folders the associated grids will save too. I noticed this is an ongoing issue and would be nice if the devs would simply state this in their tutorials but it's grapeshot so.. smh... Anyways i hope this helps the next person out! I'd love to hear feedback if this fixed it for you! if i can answer any other question you have for the setup process i'd be more than happy too. Good luck!
