Fort Resource v3.5 (68.14.35.218:15780)

[indigo fern]

i actually wish my flame could be just a smidge bigger so i can use the whole basement lol

[zinc sphinx]

so many ways I could take that comment ... but i'll be good 😛

[indigo fern]

behave 🤣

[zinc sphinx]

I did 😛

[verbal grove]

Where did you get those red glowing blocks?? they are awesome.

[indigo fern]

im using the builder's companion CE table by @topaz lava to access blocks/terrain not yet available

[verbal grove]

Thankyou! Also this new version looks amazing thankyou for all your hard work!

[indigo fern]

thank you 🙂 if you decide to play around with the builder's companion, #1233195706563690576 is the best place to ask questions about learning it etc

[rustic spire]

Now populate those with enemies! Actually, can BC even do that, spawn enemies?

[zinc sphinx]

Have they added new pieces for those cells or is that the CE? They look a lot better than my old ones

[indigo fern]

this is the BC from Turk.. sprucing up the place with stuff i know won't likely disappear.. although the prison was something i wanted since day zero lol

[indigo fern]

not that im aware of.. yet.. if it can't, i'm sure Turk is actively trying to find a way lol

[zinc sphinx]

Are you using the BC for photos?

[indigo fern]

build cam to get in position and disabling the hud

[indigo fern]

so.. once i get 3.5 finished, it'll have an expanded Sky Base that will have all the resources of the main Fort for those that just like to be up in the sky.. and eventually the crafters will be located there once we can spawn them in multiple locations, assuming that's still coming as a feature

right now, i'm working on v3.4 as an internal version for the server as i play around with the flotilla so expect to see islands cropping up on the server as i work

[shadow tangle]

Looks dope

[indigo fern]

so far navigating around the "flylands" as @heady vault has nicknamed them is easy.. there's grapple anchors to zip line around.. but islands are close enough to glide to as well, especially if you use the builder's companion glider flight by Turk..

so far the plan is to copy everything from the main fort into the sky base so it can act as a secondary resource location.. i may release it as a companion res world with just the sky base later for those that prefer long drops vs the fort's cliffside views

[indigo fern]

night shot lol

[blissful marsh]

[heady vault]

The first time I explored the flylands I was very careful whenever I jumped to an anchor, being very cautious and afraid of falling. After a while I got reckless and had more fun. I found that back way into one of them along a sort of mined out corridor.
The first time I did fall, I could have checked my email, read my discords and made a coffee by the time I glided to the bottom.
Super fun

[indigo fern]

it's a long way down but it's super fun to hop around on the grapple anchors or glide around.. and if you fall? just glide to safety lol i'm working on filling out the chests now.. had to alter some of the buildings while doing so.. (one is twice the size it was originally to fix the necessary storages) and added stairs to the two larger vault buildings cause the ladders were slow

[heady vault]

good work

[indigo fern]

i'll send you another file later to test so you can see how the storages are laid out and give opinions on them.. just finishing up a few things

[heady vault]

I'm now in France for 10 days but looking forward to it on my return

[balmy slate]

Enjoy!!

[blissful marsh]

Looking mighty fine Sir

[indigo fern]

a solid week of remodeling, building, and then duplicating all items from the original Fort chests into a second location.. plus both locations are easily upgraded now for future updates.. a lot of work went into upgrading the Sky Base but it's been worth it.. the files will be released either tonight or tomorrow

[gleaming lagoon]

Awesome work.

just had a run round good job!

[gleaming lagoon]

Does anyone have a guide to creating a backup of Enshrouded game files. Specifically we have a hosted world, not a server. It's needed in case a random player decides to destroy the members builds. Perhaps a backup of the whole game???

[shy canopy]

maybe this one? https://www.nexusmods.com/enshrouded/mods/39

[copper blade]

you know that you can set permissions now? no longer fear that untrusted players can destroy or loot what you want to protect.

[gleaming lagoon]

Yes I'm aware. This particular group has the permissions disabled such that all players can build freely and contribute. The host wanted to be able to have a backup just in case a griefer drops in.

[balmy slate]

May be very slightly out of date now (the info file seems maybe to be necessary now since it includes more than just the world name), but it should cover most of what you are looking for.... https://discord.com/channels/1046840540550942720/1233539692591448166

And since it is just a hosted server, it is the same backup process as for solo player world saves (it uses the exact same files). If you wanted to automate backing those files up, once you read through and know the locations and understand how the files world, any backup program or automation script should be able to do it on a schedule.

[fresh plaza]

Greetings. Looks like a new version of the Fort Resource is available. I haven't played for a while (was busy with other games) and got the Musician last week only. It will be great to get a new Fort and new items. Thanks to the developers.🤩🤩

[gleaming lagoon]

Yooooo! 🤘

[rustic spire]

Uh... Soon (TM) and look at where it says 'Townsfolk'

New build Contest: #1285997470933057700 message

[indigo fern]

that bottom section worries me most.. need more hallways cut out now

[rustic spire]

I'm honestly also concerned about the new Level cap. It means we'll all have to scramble to farm all the new-new top gear.

[indigo fern]

that's always a group effort too

[shy canopy]

I hope that the new gear will be in the new biome. Since Kindlewastes has max 25.

[rustic spire]

I would assume so but Keen likes to keep old areas relevant and place items/gear in them too with a small/large revamp so it's possible it'll be both.

[shy canopy]

True

I wonder if any new dungeon will come out

Or they will revamp the HH

[rustic spire]

With a new Level cap I'd wager there will be a new LvL 35 HH, if not at first then later on. But, considering this Update will likely hit just after the close of the Contest (in October) it makes sense that we'd get a new HH with it the new Mountain Biome.

[shy canopy]

Do you think that the floating isle will be open for us to explore?

[rustic spire]

Good question but hard to speculate. If I had to guess, it'll open up a chunk of land north of the Nomad Highlands, beyond that large Keep we can walk up and inside of (sort of) that looks like it was an old Dam at one point. The floating Island is quite a bit west of that area and doesn't appear to be over any proper Mountainous areas. In fact, I'd bet we get a quest to go through that Dam/structure. Look where I'm pointing on the Map, this is where I think we're going next.

[indigo fern]

it's pretty far up north

its almost at the opposite border of the world

if you fly out to it, you are well over 2/3 of the way north of the overall map

[fleet olive]

Very nice and creative compositions

[rustic spire]

Bah, I hate Discord tossing these off my list

[rustic spire]

Announcement:

Folks that follow this and the other 2 active Public Resource Worlds. Please be patient with us when the new Update hits (I'm estimating on or after Oct 21st) because not only will none of us have immediate access to the new content, but we'll all have to push +10 Levels ourselves THEN farm "all the new things" to work in cooperation between each other before we get new Saves ready with the new content. And it's likely going to be a MASSIVE amount of new items so expect each Base to be larger and possibly somewhat lower FPS than you're used to.

We pushed hard on the previous Update, Back to the Shroud (I was working on it 10-14 hrs/day), and even that took us ~3 full days to get everything added. This time around it'll certainly be longer, maybe closer to a week but we will get there. It takes a Community to keep these Worlds going!

[outer mural]

Y'all are awesome and I appreciate all the work you put into this.

[rustic spire]

Halloween Contest entires due by the 18th. Submit here: #1285994847659888650

[rustic spire]

Real, intractable water confirmed, later on. #enshrouded-chat message

[rustic spire]

8 new 'Hidden' Achievements added to Enshrouded's Steam page. Update 4 incoming???

[shy canopy]

Yes. Coming soon

I already prepared my storage flame

[indigo fern]

so.. i think what i'll be doing is running a server (local one) and allowing whoever wants to help farm stuff to join me on my twitch stream.. to get the update items faster.. that way we can save it and pass the world around between me, delindsay, and wulfic for updating the other worlds together..

[shy canopy]

Count me in

You know that we collaborated in the past

[indigo fern]

yep, you were already on my short list of people to include right off

[rustic spire]

I'm prepared to literally spend 10+ hours/day grinding out Update 4. Will be ready to share all the stuffs.

[shy canopy]

I hope they will double the stacks...from 20 to 40, from 5,000 to 10,000....

From 5 to 10 and so on

Because inventory gets filled fast

[indigo fern]

i believe we ALL wish that lol but especially us when we make the res world updates.. we have to triple up on things sometimes just so enough people can use them via the servers prior to restarts that refresh them (offline users can just replace the world whenever needed to refresh instantly)

[rustic spire]

Enshrouded: Souls of the Frontier, November 5th. It also appears like we'll have a little bit of upward flight control as well?

[shadow tangle]

copy pasta lol

[crude grotto]

I'm dieting in 6 hrs

[half wedge]

I don't know who will be looking for all the blocks, but there is another one with red grass that we probably won't get. Is there a possibility that you will add it again like the paths?

[rare flame]

The server has been updated to the latest patch.

[jolly turret]

This is not working for me: Update. it work after I created 2 worlds, then rename the downloaded file for both worlds (2 copies of the download). After copying the files into the game folder the world appreared in game slot 1

The map is crashing a lot when under the fort, I guess it needs an update

[indigo fern]

i can't track down what's causing the crashes so the fort is being closed for now.. i'll have to start the project over entirely at this point because i can't even access the areas to see whether its chest related, item related, or what.

@rare flame you may as well shut the server off since it's just going to keep crashing clients when they try to access anything in it

if i get a working version up before the weekend, i'll send it to you but i doubt i'll be reworking the entire project anytime soon

[rare flame]

@indigo fern I haven't had a chance to play around with the update yet. I updated the server, signed in to make sure it loaded, and then closed the game. Is it just my server that's crashing, or is it the save file regardless of where it's running?

[indigo fern]

its the save in general crashing when you interact with any chests in the basement

whether it's hovering over them or opening them

and since there's no editing tools or creative mode to get around it by just deleting the chests or broken items.. there's no point in trying to fix them.. it means i would have to start the project entirely from scratch

[rare flame]

Oh, crap!

What about a copy of the game pre-update... delete all the chests and re-save. At least that way you don't have to rebuild anything but the chests.

[indigo fern]

there's no version i can fall back on that won't be affected.. i already went through every possible option

it's either start from scratch on a new project or don't bother at all

closing these threads down..

it's been a fun run

[jolly turret]

I see that you have mod items, could it be that?

Maybe a patch will come out and fixe those crash. In my opinion report this to the dev maybe they can find whats crashing it.

[half wedge]

@indigo fern is there a solution how to unlock NPC with an edit? because we built in Kelvinsruh and can't get the NPC

[blissful marsh]

ah pooh

[indigo fern]

we're working on a solution..

[tranquil crown]

is the server still up? i just searched 68.14.35.218:15780 and nada 😦

[rustic spire]

#1222821311701717054 message

[rare flame]

Something was causing the save to crash when you interacted with the chests so Shade had me take it down for now. They're working on a solution.

[tranquil crown]

I meant online, sorry i didnt clarify. It was on my favorites list and now it doesnt appear. Even when searching for it

[blissful marsh]

is server back up yet?

[rare flame]

As soon as I get the working save file from @indigo fern it will be back online.

[blissful marsh]

ok thxs

[indigo fern]

i'm working with @shy canopy on an update once we have some behind the scenes stuff sorted out.. once we have a feasible release we'll have @rare flame updated first and then release the download files like normal.. i'll try to keep everyone updated in here when i can, not been a great couple months so trying to get back into streaming more since it's my only income.. thanks for being patient and i encourage you guys to make use of #1241833456875606175 as well since @rustic spire has worked hella hard at updating it and it's a beautiful world (i just prefer a slightly smaller one 😅 ) and generously hosted by several people, including Pasukin. @thorny oasis's #1222915718111301643 also has the new items so give him a check too, he's done some amazing work on his as well.

[gleaming lagoon]

You all do great work for us all!!!

[rare flame]

Bumping since it fell off my list.

[frigid falcon]

i cant find it

68.14.35.218:15780

[shy canopy]

Because the server is upgrading and it is offline till the changes are made

[lean radish]

Is updated to the last update?
