Is it possible to fix the crashing cause by trying to snap a large gate to any kind of structure in the ocean. I am trying to enclose my small shipyard but every time i try to snap the large gate onto the 2x2 foundation pillars i have placed out there my game crashes. Ive had other people tell me this happens to them as well. We are attempting to protect our ships from the rash of griefers that like to kite SoTD to everyone boats to sink them. Please up vote this so we can get this fixed.

They are unable to fix anything properly, people griefing ships because they can pick up more from the ground than they should be able to, well devs fix is let people glitch out on ships that aren't theirs when trying to enter them rather than fixing the real bug being people able to pickup too many items, log out, log back in, only have 250/250 weight until they drop an item or split their stack in their inventory for it to show the real weight again. So now people just hang from ladders on boats who didnt' pull those up and encumber it like that or just toss items on the deck for it to get encumbered. If they made it impossibru for ppl to get overweight in the first place even the ship dropping method would require a lot of players to sink a ship that way cuz the items dissapear rather quick. Their claim that one of their dev's steam accounts got hacked is also a blatent lie, claiming this wouldn't occur again it only was an invitation to cheaters and hackers to show how quick they could fuck up their network once again. Not to forget that there are countless reports from cheaters and hackers being submitted via their ticket system which are going unanswered where these cheaters and hackers are going on with their malpractices until this very day (if servers were up though). Everything they claim to fix they break it even harder, my two examples are just two of them, I bet alot of dissatisfied customers could come up with plenty more stuff. Oh and not to forget their wonderous Fountain of Youth they implemented while about all players in game who have a character since launch are now receiving a very nice age debuff which they can only get removed when they travel to a Golden Age area where all people have to be right now and it only can hold up to 150 players in theory, in practice this wouild mean about 50 players to play it as it's meant to be played. But right now people just have to run through the lagfast that it is naked and hope for the best to reach the magic sparkles at the end of the cave. Same goes for powerstones apparently the much anticipated and praised end game they are trying to fix with each patch while their core game mechanics are broken beyond recognition. How are people supposed to play this game when everything is bugged and we have to find workarounds just to be able to progress in nearly each part of this game rather than playing as intended. Far worse might be the interaction the devs have with this community, far too many people havea already noted and stated that they mostly listen to cringy streamers and crybabies in general rather than looking at these forums and see the daily return of many topics where players are most frustrated about. No they gonna nerf all kinds of stuff cuz some half ass streamer is giving them a bad rep about it on stream. The only thing those devs want is to keep this game look like it's shiny and fun on the streams until they raked in enough of our hard earned cash. Because let's face it, they robbed us from our money to let us play this aggrevating crappy coded "so-called-pirate-mmo". If I wanted to grind my ass of for materials I would have kept playing 7 days to die or would have reinstalled minecraft to have a better experience in harvesting and building stuff without having to fear that none of my work is still there when I log back in. Let's have a look at the two twitters that are posting most of Atlas news and updates, now the official Atlas twitter is probably not into replying anyone at all just for posting update news and patch notes when Needed. Jatheish on the other hand is far more active with giving the community constant updates when shit goes wrong but also keeps posting ETA's that are never and are always late. Even seen people complain once about an ingame server message stating servers will restart or go down in 20 minutes, so players were rushing to a safe haven when on sea or make sure they got inside a house to logout before server goes down, what happens, server goes down only 5 minutes after that message appeared, making alot of players unable to logout safely with all the negativity as a result, players losing just their gear and die once ok very annoying, but those who never had a fair chance to park their boat somehwere lost alot of progress once again. Now besides their shitty communication skills and their non-existant clock reading skills the only one who replies to certain tweets is Jatheish, the pain in the ass there is that he only replies to either positive comments or comments that have no informational value what so ever. Like last night he replied to a guy asking how often he must have said a certain word this year already whlist the majority of replies on his tweets are about the cheaters, the bugs, the game not being fun in general, those replies are being straight out ignored just as most of the topics are being ignored here on this forum by any official person. They implemented moderators and community admins, god knows why because the ones who should be more active on this forum are the devs, they should learn how to use their eyes and brain at the same time and read the massive reports of players that are begging for fixes in areas they have ignored since launch. Yet they bring out and even brag about their new features while the core mechanics of this game are still broken, people are still playing on 250 ping servers whilst having to deal with all the buggy shit that comes with predators, land claims, ship building, alphas, cheaters, hackers, and now we have rollbacks and constant patches that break stuff just a simple like doors no longer opening, if someone would just run the software they managed to compile before they release it as an update they can prevent so many gamebreaking issues with each patch they release but nope, we are the guinneepigs, we are the rats in the wheels and why? Like most paid forumtrolls state here it's an Early Access game you should have known what u signed up for... It's early access I get it, but doesn't that mean that what it describes in the EA stuff is that they are taking notes from customer feedback and listening to their playerbase on how to improve things? I've seen their Twitch live Q+A stream and I can tell you, there was no real Q+A part, it was just them talking about things they gonna implement while the playerbase is crying on the twitch chat to be aknowledged and to point out that devs are just ignoring the whole Black Butterfly incident by not even mentioning it once in their nearly 2 hour talk. To be honest the best description of that stream I read on this forum somewhere was someone saying those 4 guys at the mental hospital got some time off together and placed in a room with a webcam, this made my day just that little bit better because let's be honest, this weekend was horrible for those who actually took the time to play the game. Rollbacks, Fountain of Youth and Rollbacks. This fountain of youth thing is so poorly designed and shows how badly these developers are connected with their playerbase, we had freeport at launch that was overpopulated and with that mechanic they were lucky enough that there were plenty of freeports (and lawless areas) where people could eventually spawn, it wasn't enough for launch but it was somewhat managable. Right now u have to have the entire population of one server (NA PVE fe) to rush to one single grid where that fountain of youth is at, one grid that can hold 150 players maximum (in theory but in practice u get a ping of 250). So let's say about 5-10k players who have started near launch are now all over age 90 and have a debuff for being that old implemented on them whilst they dont' have the alternative at hand to make babies in game they are all forced at the same time with a serious debuff to find that fountain of youth before their character dies permanently losing all the progress and gear and landclaims and boats (if u play solo or have really small company where u all die before reaching it). So yeah, if one of those devs would ever have played on an official server and had to deal with all the previous bullshit before even thinking about going to a fountain of youth together will the rest of the playerbase at the same time they would have never implemented such a feature without having alternatives for breeding or even releasing something that makes us all get a random younger age. Cuz this issue will repeat itself in a couple of weeks when EVERYONE who's now 20 again will be at the age of 90 again, and yea you have to be 90+ to get a nice buff each time you go back after the age of 90+ you get a buff over your buff. So tell me, am I exaggerating anything here? People who played this game for a few weeks now know very well that the way Grapeshot throws out updates is like a blind man playing darts, throw as hard and as fast as you can and see if one hits the bullseye, more misses than hits in this field. There are some obvious forum trolls here of which I hope they aren't being paid by Grapeshot to keep the negativity down by having so many people countering it with rediculous answers as: git gud, or learn to play, or game isn't made for soloing. I get it it's an MMO, but people all have to start out solo and the game mechanic only let's u stay on newbie island (freeport) until lvl 8 which is so low your chances of survival outside freeport are really small when u play alone and start to find land to claim to build a ship in case u want to start your own company and not become another companies slave to go pick cotton or other resources all day long whilst the guys who run the big companies get to play command & conquer while u play minecraft/lumberjack simulater. They already stole our money after their terrible launch and steam still refuses to do refunds even when u try to explain all the issues ot them in a lenghty conversation like this one, u still get standard replies and support staff doesn't read your sentences the way you have written them. When I write: my first 20 hours of "gametime" were me sitting in main menu trying to login to a server. They read: you played 20 hours and thus Steam will not refund you after this much gametime. Now we all knew steam support can also be a pain in the ass sometimes, now we have to deal with Atlas dev team and Steam Support simultaniously. For those who gonna be trolls and say why u still play when u wanted refund and can only complain about it? Because I got robbed of my 25$ while Steam refuses to refund the damn thing due to timer things I felt obligated to play and see if I can still get fun out of it after each update and patch, as most of you trolls claim it's EA and (might/will) get better. Well it doesn't, they break the experience for most of us with each update they roll out or roll back. I would also like to ask my fellow pirates who have had enough of this idiotic way things are going to just spam Jat and Atlas tweets as soon as they pop up with youtube videos of griefers, cheaters, bugs, glitches, anything that shows what a poor product this is to make sure they aren't fooling other people into buying this game until it might actually be playable. Please don't hesitate to even copy past my entire post here to spread the message on reddit, other forums or just in here in case mods think this should be deleted, as I have read from several users on this forum that posts about their incompetence get deleted sometimes. Good luck to all of those who are still trying to play the game after all these things that happened, but for me it was over a few days ago, I'm done grinding to establish a little base and some boats on my own, I know it's not of solo players, but if u started this game with 5 friends and end up alone after a few days into the game u don't feel like joining a big company just yet, u try to build up a base and boat to show your friends and hope they want to play on from that part since they could skip the grindy part, but nope, it's so bad that they refuse to play it any longer and me myself have jumped ship and joined their boat, not playing boat. I will keep being a pest to this company until A: this game is a proper playable game (don't count on it). B: they refund this game to me (depending on steam here). As long as I feel like being ripped off, I'll be ripping on these nitwits as well. This is what I picture how the game Atlas itself feels like if it were alive:

I have been experiencing a fairly consistent bug where if you try to spawn on a moving ship at sea you end up spawning in the ocean behind the ship more often then spawning ON the ship. I've tried moving the bed to different decks but have not found very much success. At one point I was tossed from my ship due to the stairs bug on a moving ship and when i spawned back on my ship while it was in a storm i ended up in between the planks and the lowest deck somehow. I'd really appreciate this getting some attention and being fixed.

I am unsure if this was an intentional change or not but since the patch I am no longer able to redeploy my glider once it has been deployed. Being an Australian player who very frequently experiences lag causing gliders to deploy then instantly un-deploy, this completely breaks gliding for me. It also makes it near impossible to glide down from the tops of gem mountains without killing yourself, as you cannot un-deploy and redeploy closer to the ground. Your only option is to nose dive. If the change was to prevent people being able to glide through different squares, perhaps just changing it so that gliders break if they are equipped during zoning would be a better fix. Keeps the gliding within the zone and doesn't ruin the gliding experience.

So my company and I have lost a total of 4 penguins and 1 crow so far because apparently they have a tendency to fall through things. 3 penguins and 1 crow were lost in transit from tame location to home by falling through our ships and not being able to recover them before 8 million sharks swarm them. 1 penguin was lost by phasing though a structure foundation and never to be see again. I logged in today after spending a few hours taming 2 new penguins last night and find this.... my new crow was like this as well. Can we get a fix to this soon please.

So i'm a player who struggles with performance issues - needless to say a lot of us do, but i play with my graphics on minimum so don't have sky details which is fine... At night i've been looking at what i thought was stars in the sky - but if you look closer it's like 100's of vultures/seagulls!! This may not be viewable with sky details higher which is why i assume people didn't really notice but i can only imagine that 100's of entities would be a huge performance issue and could very well be a contributing factor to "lag". I mean, look at how sleeping bodys in freeports caused lag on launch day - to know we have 100's of birds actively spawning/flying in the distance sky... yikes? Please look into this Devs - @Jatheish

Two Issues: 1) Claiming Taking HOURS where I have to set aside 6 hours of my playing and enjoyment of the game to babysit a claim is pointless and would make a few people quit playing this early on in the game. 2) Every time ANY random person runs through the claim my entire progress is reset, they aren't even from the company I'm trying to claim from. Now I'm not opposed to the 6 hours, but making progress reset every time a random person runs through a claim is ridiculous, the company I'm trying to claim from haven't been online in more then a week. I suspect its school going kids, who have now gone back to school and will not be playing anytime soon. How to Fix this "tiny" issue: 1) Allow me to move away from the flag, and that timer needs to significantly reduce the longer someone is offline... a minimum of 1 Hour would be fine. 2) Just remove this, if a 3rd Party wants to join in on the claim war they should also need to place a flag to interrupt my claiming process, the only person(s) that should interrupt a claim is the company that I am claiming from, and even then it should never be an instant reset, it should tick down for them as it has to tick up for me. I think I've been fair in my comment here, any kind of response from the Developers would be much appreciated. //Llew

After I gained my construction skill, I noticed that every time I try to craft my stone pickaxe, it isnt wanting to do anything. I try to craft it straight from my inventory crafting section. I've resetted the game, resetted my key binds and I've even reinstalled the game and nothing, help please?...

I am going to start this with the little diddy of I honestly dont care if this is a duplicate of another topic. As of Patch 9.3 my company is still alive but none of the players who made it up are still in it. This was not some rogue idiot who kicked us out. This was everyone including the current owner suddenly being trapped in our stuff because it was no longer ours. To clarify it was still under our company but we were no longer apart of said company. This must be corrected ASAP. I have tried to support this company and recognize its still early but if this cannot be corrected then I quit and will no longer support the company who makes this game. We were in sector K7 on NA PVE Hyrdras Den

The current claim system is awful. For a PVP server maybe it's good, but under no circumstance on a PVE server should other players be allowed to steal anything from you, kill you, or do really anything that impacts your gaming experience. Since day 1 it has been nothing but game-impacting "bugs". I'm not going to get into all of them because this would be an entire page worth of complaints. These are not bugs like "oh this thing doesn't work sometime", these are bugs that cause you to basically start completely over. It's been exhausting and just when I finally had things going in the right direction, I log off for the night away from my base (went to get a crew from a freeport) and logged back in to see that someone stole my claim and destroyed everything I had built (which was a pretty good amount) and stole all the resources/gear that I had gathered over the last week or so. I can see how this would be okay on PVP servers or if I hadn't logged on the game for numerous days or more, but they stole my claim 5 hours after I had logged off and everything is gone now. The claim system should be simple on PVE. If the player that claimed the land hasn't logged in for the last X amount of days, the claim goes away or can be taken. That's it. No exceptions. It's even super easy code, let me know, I'll write it for you. Being able to take claims is important to the game as it will prevent a bunch of land being claimed up by people that no longer play the game, but you should not be able to steal claims from people who actively play. Between this issue and many others, I'm putting down the game, at least for now. Maybe one day after these systems have been reworked and improved upon I will return. I love the game itself in terms of concept and the big picture, truly amazing. I wish I could keep playing, but it's simply impossible to enjoy with the current issues. I know many others are dealing with this and leaving the game as well, I hope it's fixed soon.

Anyone know the command line to Disable Merchant ships or atleast turn the rate way down. We are currently experiencing constant server crashes. I believe this is the root of the crashes due to 100+ ships in a single file line sailing the ocean. Thank you in advanced if you're able to assist!

Hello everyone, here is a wrap up of everything i found out "can" (but shouldnt be) done in PvE if you want to ruid others day... Know more ? Feel free to add it to the list... 1) Overweighting Rafts / Ships. - Peoples just farm bunch of wood, or stone or whatever is heavy. then stack it into anything that can be open on ship/raft, like campfire, mortar, smithy etc.... - Or overweight on player at maximum, then log off, other player carries him onto enemy ship. and just wait... ship will go down soon, free to salvage. Defense - lock every ship in gates, or block access to them in some way... 2) Luring tornado to sink ships close to beach. - Place raft few yards away from enemy ship into sea, everytime there is rain just afk on raft... sooner or later desired ship will sink. 3) Luring ship of the Damned to sink enemy ships. - you can hit it from raft, or even hatchet it its close enough, then hide under enemy ship and wait.. Free loot INC. 4) Raiding base. - using wild animals to destroy enemy doors, walls whatever.. - if there isnt roof, you can jump in with glider, or use dead animal to climb them and jump over. if there isnt way back, just throw stuff away through any window or roof and let your ally pick it up. 5) Killing sleeping players. - Any animal will do, just kite over. Elephants are especially safe for that, walls wont stop them. 6) Stealing territory / Claiming everything. - full endurance build, place flag. go afk.... you will sooner or later steal it. or just waste time for your oponent... really annoying especially with bugged protection time. One cant even sail withotu worrying about your whole base...

Hi Guys Noticed small issues with regards to painting with brush , 1) I cant save a preset 2) its a bit difficult to see or cant see at all from default color to black Posted images , Thanks RIXSTA

Thought i would start a thread of bugs I come across and continue to update it as i go along and crossing off ones that seem fixed. 1: When you reload your gun and run, your character jitters on the spot, stopping you from running. 2:When you character reloads and you try to shot straight after you're unable to. 3: if a creature lands on you and you clip into them, you're unable to attack or do anything. 4: Hot and cold, feels no matter what you do your always super hot or cold resulting in lose of water and or HP. I feel it should be turned off until fix or removed as we already have some much too manage already and it feel rng unlike the others you can prep for. I've been mid battle and suddenly super hot, losing water quickly, resulting in me becoming dehydrated, passing out and dying, you can drink, but it just depletes in mater of seconds 5: something that's been around since ARK, you shot with the bow, you see a blood splatter, but no dmg is done. 6: Not sure if a bug, but crocs being able to keep up with your ship and being able to attack you on-board. 7: Creatures attacking your base even when full enclosed and with no windows, many times standing inside and creature started attacking out of no where. Updates: 8: When fighting damned for treasure, they will randomly go back underground resting their HP even if you're right next to them. 9: Damned will sometimes re-spawn again after killing them once already 10: (some may h8 me) The amount of exp given seem bit overturned, getting 3 levels after clearing damned, in line with 9, = Endless exp

Hi Guys Since Atlas has launched there has been a lot of patches and improvements , however the animals still seem to be very very glitchey and their hit box is a bit wonky . for example when i was taming a bear im shooting it with arrow and you can see the arrow on him but no hit marker , also the animals are very glitchey one thing they are jumping around like rabbits then flying like parrots and then 10m away all of a sudden right in front of you , this is not due to self system performance or ping this happens all the time under bad and good ping . please get this sorted? it would help a lot with self defense especially taming . RIXSTA Thank You! To a Great Game to be!! Project001.mp4 Project001.mp4

In-game Bugs, Problems and Suggestions…. WARNING: - This list is long. Server 7.8 and client 7.33. Ahoy, Mateys! This is my Bug report for PlayAtlas and sailtheatlas twitter. Everything has happened to me Or I’ve tried re-creating the bugs to prove their a bug or massively unfair. (My company I’m in has also helped me test certain things I find happens on occasion or shouldn’t be there). This Report includes Major Bugs, Minor Bugs and some quality of life improvements I think should be made or at least considered. Lets hope we can get this in the light to show the developers what needs working on more than other things. I have tried to apply any possible solutions where applicable. I have not really prioritized any of the major bugs as everybody would have a different opinion, Although I am pretty sure the main ones to do with server performance / corrupt characters and client-side performance are near the top. If I have missed any major or minor bugs, Its because I have not yet experienced that yet by all means please do drop your bugs or quality of life improvements you’ve found in the comment section below. I have 60 Hours of testing this game so far it is early access I am not making this to complain I am making this in hopes the developers push the patches kind of in the right direction and to get us a nice stable enjoyable experience. Please do try not to be negative if possible would be nice to see some of your creative discussions Likes and dislikes. I will try to update this post the best I can with Strikes through the patches that have been fixed, Or after an acceptable amount of time has past I will alter new and remove old bugs, Or fixes that have been dealt with or are not being dealt with. Major Bugs: • Whenever you die in Free-ports you lose your entire body with all your stuff you just farmed for your first raft and adventure this is a HUGE deterrent for any new players coming into the games community. • When the server crashes or restarts, And you stand on a shipyard/crafting station on the shipyard, when you’re logged off it shows your body unconscious under water, When you log in your standing in-between the two structures. • Major issue still lies with resources still not re-spawning correctly in tundra biomes and other certain regions out of the Lawless Regions. This is as of 12/29/18 • Certain servers in the cluster network are offline which creates stuck players, Sometimes loading causes UE4 crashes. • Spawning on ships and rafts while their moving chucks you off the back end of the ship/raft and into the water (Sometimes spawn in-between the hull and surface deck) • The ships of the damned are still in groups of around 4 in certain areas as of the latest patch on the 12/29/18 • When pressing the I button for inventory / tab menu for choosing the tame groups, atlas, company settings or screens, Sometimes causes the game to hang for me / slow down. ( not sure if other people get this but has something to do with client patch 7.3 Or server patch 7.3. • Spawning on a ship bed can often when it doesn't chuck you off the back it has a chance to stick you between the hull and the ships deck. • Some characters either are corrupt / possible logging into another players character (A company member had lost round 8 levels and another had gained 8 levels upon logging in) • Sometimes for certain people loading into the server it prompts you to re-create your character (Exiting and re-loading works as a fix in most cases) • Few reports that people/my company members Characters needing to be re-created after dying. ( does not happen all the time ) Can confirm 28/12/18 I died in the ocean and had to “create a new character” exiting the game and re-joining a server fixed this issue and let me re-spawn with my previous character. • The Full-screen mode can appear green for some people like myself to fix it I had to adjust my NVIDIA control panel click on change resolution under display, Make sure NVIDIA colour settings are on: Desktop colour depth : highest (32bit) Output colour depth 8 bpc Output colour format: RGB Output dynamic range: Limited This solution 100% fixed my problem after applying in the control panel countless restarts and it fixed the solution. • If the sky quality slider is set at zero you get a black sky. (Needs to be at least around 25-40% to actually show the sky upon a game restart after correcting the slider to the right percentage) • Skeletons give you way to much EXP upon killing them. • Cyclone/Tornado spawns all next to one another there can be anywhere up-to 8 - 16 off them in one tiny area. Seems a bit over the top for how close together they spawn.& dramatically decreases FPS for some systems for all being stacked pretty much on top of one another. • Sometimes when you die your character will go under the mesh. Or if you die beside a cliff side as the character falls backwards when they die they Can fall into surfaces like big rocks, cliff sides, Terrain etc. • When you pull out the map and compass with the "M"control key the game then basically halves in FPS. • FPS still needs improving, People with 1080s, 1070s, 1060s and 980/70s. With pretty decent systems that can play other games at 120fps in epic/high settings have reported problems with the Frames per second with Atlas being drastically low at anywhere from 10- 30fps. (not all people but a very large amount complained on twitter about this including myself). • Hit registry with bow's and arrows, Spears projectiles other than guns, Basically get stuck. and you can see it in the animal but doesn't register the hit. (only here due to having to hit a certain part of the animals to register). • “The perk Piercing Shot” Is supposed to charge and increase speed, damage and penetration, However with a primitive bow and stone arrows this is very much not the case, It will sometimes hit for the normal amount, will sometime correctly damage or once again referencing back to the hit registry issue and will not hit for anything. • When you press play on steam to play ATLAS it sometimes has a chance to open twice. So when you load into the menu you would have x2 atlas’s running. • Companies can disband and kick everybody out, Cause unknown- Possibly after patches? • Longitude: 52.14 / Lat 54.94 Home server L4 (Lawless Region) Spawns you in the Ocean next to a big rock a tiny bit of land (if you can call it that) is maybe 1 minute out with barely anything on it to get going. • The intelligence skill perk is not working off increasing damage with pistols through the engrams tab to improve the weapon in any way (unless this is only designed for blueprints? Should Specify before people roll points into something they may not want.) • Company settings with tribe governance and privilege keep wiping after each update. • Multiple complaints about flags ruining the chance of others even being able to build, This system needs reworking with some more thought. For example make only 3 claim flags to be able to be placed and they gain in size with gold cost and only goes up to a certain max size, Makes raiding bases more likely with people being able to build a Base of operations to attack them. (You need to realize that people who play these games almost play them for 16 hour days and will contest any type of take over on the flag system). • PvE has a lot of problems by the sounds of things, Land claims, People sinking other peoples ships, Having the ability to kill other people in the community with Repair hammers? (Found this on twitter) and its not the only one who is complaining about the PvE problem neither This HAS to get fixed asap. PvE - Player Vs Environment. Minor Bugs: • Sound glitch for when slashing at fiber if you roam around slashing you’ll hear a cutting noise behind and you’ll see an animation above a plant fiber you was before cutting but now are not which has the sound and dirt gritty look animation too it. • When you lay down below a surface like an edge of a tannery, Then crouch you then can no longer stand straight back up with the C or Space bar controls, You then have to press X to lay down and x again to stand back up. •Possibly increase the fish spawns for catching fish with the fishing rod, Had tested it took a pretty long time at the end of a shipyard to catch a fish. (I gave up after 5 minutes of catching nothing.) • Wild Crocodiles and wolves possibly any aggressive animal have the ability to bite through the hull/side of the ships to hit your character (not sure if this is intended) • The auto targeting lock for the combat mechanic is very buggy snaps onto almost any target that runs in front of you, Would be more preferable if it was just not there. • The crafting stations and storage containers are not "locked" when placed. Boxes have to be pin coded to prevent other companies from accessing them. These both categories of items should be locked and have the option to unlock them for possible alliance trades. • No experience gain for crafting structures, ammo, items (not sure if this is a bug, Possible Macro Prevention technique.) • When you die on the shipyard boards connecting to the galleon while its being created the death bag appears at the bottom of the ocean. • When breeding chickens (Not sure if its like this with other tames/animals) when you breed it once when it becomes ready for its next mating session , It does not mate anymore and make babies. • Cool-down timer when you re-spawn for beds still isn't updating correctly. (before you re-spawn again on the same bed). The countdown timer isn’t going down on the re-spawn screen. • When upgrading foundations, Placing a stone foundation through a thatch / wood foundation does not work, However the Stone walls & ceilings will place through thatch/wood walls and ceilings. • When you change the tribe governance to set peoples rank to what they can access it removes the ability to press F on a storage box or item that is accessible. • No experience gain for crafting structures, ammo, items (not sure if this is a bug, Possible Macro Prevention technique.) • When you die, your name text for your dead body is offset aligned to the right side of the body (normally) around in-game 3 feet to the right. So when looking directly at your body you cannot access the body. • Campfire sometimes is difficult to interact with. Sometimes difficult lighting gaining access to its inventory reported by multiple people from my company. • Staircases do not properly line up to another doorway its offset to the right of the doorway, Could be a lot more smooth if it aligned dead centre or made wider at the top of the stairs. • There is upwards of 4-5 alphas (Wolves and bears per island since the 7.0 Patch along with alpha snakes/cobras in the tundra. (7.32) version is slightly better. • When cutting trees the cut animation into the tree is sometimes not rendering. • Fiber is not a resource that is very well spread throughout tundra biome. (Might not be intended) but would be useful for those who wish to build there. • The seagull when it lands on deck is animated wrong, It leans forward and has its bottom facing up. (Stationary anchored ship Schooner). • The female character makes male noises with the taunt / laugh options for the emote wheel. • Sometimes when you ALT-TAB and TAB back in your cursor may or may not come back on in the game, So you may have to restart in this case. (Single monitor setup, Full-screen Boarder-less • The aggro range of all aggressive animals need to be reduced down by at least maybe 10-20% • Re-spawns of animals keep re-spawning almost instantaneous its almost like you have to kill a wolf every time you kill two die, kill the last one 45 seconds later another pack spawn and kill you on your way back from farming a set of trees. • When rejoining ATLAS or servers, It will say connection timed out then connect to the server. Quality of life improvement Suggestions: • When a ship capsizes it says "ship has been removed from company" Would be better if said your Ship has capsized to give some idea how the ship was destroyed. • When/If a character gets stuck (Its a massive map and some people will get stuck between rocks) Make the compass in the inventory a requirement to make a suicide elixir which instantly kills the player. • Alpha horses are way to territorial, Radius of its range needs to be reduced not by a lot but by maybe 10%. • Make ship merchants appear at lawless islands, would reduce server load on free-ports if people are able to buy a raft at lawless islands should spread the population a little bit more always a positive. • Snoring Sounds, As much as i appreciate the depth for sound, people would prefer being able to disable the sound of snoring or have it completely removed it encourages offline raiding as you can hear the snores from outside a decent sized base!. • Fix for when servers go offline, Possible kill character entity and re-spawn in a different sever sector to prevent people being stuck in an offline server? Must some way to resolve this I’m by no means a coder just hoping to bring an idea to the table. • SEA & Oceania - OCE servers need to be implemented hopefully to bring in more people from different areas with bad ping connections, Could resolve a handful of connection issues for those connecting thousands of miles away, this would also reduce server ping and server load not having people at 300-500 possibly higher ping connecting. Not trying to kick them out. Its just for everybody and even their own benefit to have a healthier more fun lag free experience. • Vitamins this is a touchy one clearly with all the talks on how useless and how everybody doesn’t want it. I personally find it intriguing with the right balance it helps keep your mind constantly surviving. However with the dynamic weather, Possibly have vitamin D which everybody seems to have the problem with, How about having Vitamin D value increase for X amount per weather cycle so if its a sunny cycle you get a healthy nice full bar Or if you wanted to include Shadows, You can choose to over do the VIT D in the sunshine and have to take cover in the shade. Many options to improve this. (you also cannot overdose on Vitamin C). • Introduce the -SM4 option Which could possibly increase FPS for some systems that are running slightly lower end computers, Although the major bug of FPS problems with 970s/80s 1070s/80s needs fixing way before this becomes an option. • Allow us to know weather our ship on the map is Capsized or still active rather than just a picture of the ship on the atlas map through the inventory menu. • Possible automated restarts for Atlas servers every Midnight ET to prevent servers that may be down to bring them back up without having to manually do it unless there is a bigger problem afoot. • When out at sea and you fall off your raft, Would be better if it was less hassle jumping from water onto the raft. • Would be nice to see some more depth to the engram unlocks with the skill points, For example, Why are the repair hammer and bucket in separate categories? It would be ideal for tools / fixing things to be grouped either together or separately to unlock for cheaper rather than buying the full Engram list to access these two items, As you may not be specializing into Seamanship although you may be the ships repairman / woman. So it would be useful for access to things without unlocks of specialist categories. • The spear/pike and most melee weapons need a bit more mechanic work, Would be nice to see some more freedom with the combat system as of right now it kind of pulls you towards A) the closest enemy that runs in front of you, Or Has a wonky targeting system which sometimes completely takes you off what you was killing and onto the new animal which has more health before you kill the 10% animal you was just about to kill. • Would be nice for always having a server information pop up before you bring servers down, Or update the servers, Multiple times you’ve explained that It will go down, To update client and servers, Great then when something goes wrong you just take them down without notice please give us at least 10 minutes notice. • Having the option to split stacks and type a number and press enter would be fantastic. I will try my best to update this, Or strike through anything that has been confirmed to of been fixed. or i'll re-edit the entire post to an updated version. Thanks for reading guys if you powered through it all good on you, If you scrolled to the bottom, I do not blame you. This game would be great with the right updates and optimisations and of course our help with feedback for them! Do not forget to post any problems you've been having with the game! If you know how to re-create the bug as well its always a good thing to include, If not it is still worth mentioning!

What we have noticed. I myself can't find my private server from 2 different hosts. I could search and search. Nothing comes up. Other people can find it but when they load in its tossing them to other people's servers. For some of us-Direct Connect through steam works. I can always see my servers up in there. Server hosts are Gportal, Survival Servers. Even tried setting up a server on a box but yet couldn't find that either. Had to go through IP address. Not even the person setting up the box could find it. Whats going on with this? For years i've ran private servers and never had issues finding what I set up. It's not like these servers are costing $10/month. Out of 10+ people only 3 can actually find it in the current search format.

I am a firm believer in addressing problems but not without solutions. First I would like to point out that the game has major performance issues. I have a Decent Pc and can play ARK on Epic at 60 FPS this game is giving me 16 to 23 FPS regardless of setting if I put the settings on Epic it gives me 16-23 if I put everything as low as it can go I get 16-23FPS. solution to this do whatever Ark did to fix this as they had the same issue at launch Second The Spawning Mechanics need to be improved. Some creatures over spawn or spawn out of thin air. Eg. (While harvesting Jute aka (fiber) (the naming conventions are silly really just make fiber fiber and stone stone.) in a relatively safe area after I got rid of all the wolves Tigers and snakes. As I look up 4 Wolves spawn in front of my eyes and Instantly Delete me. There should really be a Dead zone around the player in which creatures don’t spawn. Carnivores also don’t agro on each other. This is stupid as Tigers and Wolves (dogs) are territorial. (Reason this is silly) I got chased by an army of wolves, tigers and Crocks all chasing after me at the same time. This is ridiculous. There should be a proper food chain in place. Third is the Claims. Players are spamming the crap out of Claims and you can’t find any piece of Coast unclaimed to build a Shipyard and/or base. Claims are pointless on PVE and Claims in general are way too large. It is impossible to find space in PVE servers At least in PVP you can contest and steal land but Claims in PVE it’s impossible. Sure saying the Map is Huge is an understatement. Its past massive. However landmass is limited especially coastal areas that are always claimed. Imagine the Supposed 40K players are all playing on the servers at least 35K players won’t be able to claim land apart from finding a space to claim sometimes having to sail the seas for 3 to 4 days to find an island that has claimable space. Solutions to this 1. Decrease claim flag size as it is way to lager anyway. 2. In PVE disable claim flags as its really not needed and making everyone's life difficult to find space this can also be fixed by 1. 3. for Companies only the leader of the company is allowed to place a claim flag and the radius of this will increase slightly by the amount of players in that company. 4. limit the amount of claim flags per player/company to 2 or 3. 5.The only point in claiming is to stop the decay so increase the decay in Free areas (not freeport of lawless) to 5-6 days. Fourth is the decay time. The decay time is supposed to be 3 Days but all my stuff Decayed in a lawless zone within a day. This is ridiculous not everybody is a no life playing the game 24/7 at least give working people a chance to play the game as well. The Raft Decay is too fast I finished playing last night and this morning my Raft was gone along with all my hard work and resources this really needs to be addressed as I can't play the game for hours on end, to find a place to claim that might not even happen as the space is next to none and it takes Hours to find an unclaimed area to claim as players are spamming the crap out of claims in PVE and its not even necessary. This happened twice now in a Lawless region and in a freeport zone. at least make the decay 3 Days and make the raft take damage over 3 days not just lose 5000 HP in 5 hours Solutions to this. 1. make all structures in freeport and lawless zones decay in 2-3 days. 2. make rafts/boats/ships decay slower when anchored. the standard 2-3 or 5-6 days depending on zone. and not take damage while anchored 3. Rafts and boats take damage from the environment. make this stop while anchored. And lastly. Please add something entertaining to do while waiting Hours to get somewhere on a boat/raft its very boring sailing for hours to see land just for the wind to turn as you see it.

I build my ship and come to freeport M7, gonna sleep, now its destroyed, Freeport isnt save???

I sailed through the F7 border wall into the G7 wall where instead of loading into my character on the boat it loaded me onto the Freeport and my fellow sailor says that my body is still manning the wheel. I've already lost a boat to being disconnected and then trying to spawn on the boat each instance of my body caused the boat to be over crewed and sink.

There is a few unbreakable rocks that spawned in our base making it so we cant use objecs, and weird stuff is happening also in and around base, we can walk threw these rocks. any help would be awesome!
