Yeah, maybe next time I should just mine a poo poo ton of iron ore and just drop it in a river instead of letting the hot bar glitch the gently caress up. Much more Conan that way.

Make sure your inventory filters aren't unchecked. I had a few disappearing items reappear after I noticed some filters being off.

That was the first thing I checked. I'm just going to shelve this until it's more stable.

Hopefully it will get to Subnautica levels of good.

I feel like the biggest issue they need to grapple is land ownership. As it stands any semi organized group rushes a server dropping single tiles all over the map which prevents anyone from building. It's a huge road block if you're joining late or playing solo cause the only places left to setup camp are poo poo holes with no resources nearby and you'll probably end up getting endlessly raided.

There's already decay for small structures that's reasonably fast, it could probably be faster though.

ARK had this same exact issue. Not sure if they ever solved it.

The real problem is that at some point on almost every server some dingus will decided to build a sandstone wall across just about every pass from the starting area up into the mountains, those walls will take ages to despawn and there's no way to get iron weapons in the starting area, let alone the steel weapons you'd need to bypass those walls. And since everyone with steel weapons is off in their bases in the north with 0 need to ever go back to the original spawn, there's no chance anyone else will ever take them down.

They really just need to add iron in the southern part of the map. Renders the entire area pointless since there is no iron and you hit the point of needing iron very quickly

Yeah it doesn't make a ton of sense, especially since you need steel to break things now, and especially especially since there IS a source of brimstone in the southern part of the map. Priorities messed up across the board.

Exactly, once you're in the Early Access, you never get out.

The only game I recall that did a halfway decent job of dealing with the land issue was that goofy "Reign of Kings" game that made it so that you had a guild stone that claimed an area that you could build on that couldn't be easily destroyed. Made the game focused on attacking that to defeat the enemy. Not without it's own problems of course. Also that game suffered from having most of the good resources in one area of the map.

I think one of the stupidest aspects of this game is the fact that the map is static. I feel like you should be able to do a seed generator for biomes and still have the dungeons/massive corruption city placed intelligently on said generated map.

It's slated for a year of early access, the salt squad above notwithstanding. They've got a pretty decent roadmap for what they want to do with it, and all signs point to it being maybe kind of okay by release, there's just a lot of bugs that need squashing, and a lot of people who think early access means "I should be able to play a feature complete version of this game with no bugs a year early".

After finding a map online of various dungeons and exploring a few (and noticing they're completely unfinished), I've decided to just treat this game like minecraft.

Now I loving hate sloped roofs.

Of course, if was lobby after I built my fortress that I read that funcom has hosed up buildings before. So... yaaaaaaay.

Side question: I'm admin on my single player game.
1. Is the a way to get 'show states' in the admin menu to turn off? You would figure clicking the button again around do it but it's a no go.
2. Is there a way to get thrall training to autocomplete?

Massive lols at the combat and stat systems being awesome and good (must be the lead devs personal babies) but it looks pretty good otherwise. A CM mentioned in another thread that FCs entire Oslo studio is only working on Co Nan now.

Two hours of "heh, dongs" and getting eaten by crocodiles and then nothing, an endless void.
