lucadeltodecso:

But also makes it much easier to comprehend

beg to differ.
now spent a couple of hours trying to bring back my settlement but no joy.
It might seem simple to you but not to my brain unfortunately.

lucadeltodecso:

now its consistent 3 plots wide

just to be clear, 3 wide but can’t be 3 high?

Does the turning the red checkboard pattern, on the de-bug visuals, into just 2 red stripes or just plain white mean it should be cancel any “bridging” issues?

In guild chat:

I have two characters in the guild, but while I’m on my main, the alt’s name is still being used in guild chat.

B0ne · 2019-01-15T15:23:22.777Z

I noticed this, I think this is by design, is the name in chat the name of your first created char or an actual alt made after your main?

C0ND1T10NR3D · 2019-01-15T15:26:51.391Z

That could be related to a known issue that’s being worked on.

Release 211 - Known Issues

If you have multiple alts within a single guild you will not be able to message the guild with all alts.

Venom · 2019-01-15T15:27:19.043Z

This happened to me this morning. I think its either the last charcter you logged in with or the last to join the guild. Idk if theres a way to change it in game yet though

AeneaGames · 2019-01-15T15:32:12.112Z

Yep settlement has around 2.8k plots, we can’t find the issue, some beacons are just there own settlement.

Have to say this is making me quite the opposite of being happy, and don’t feel like playing at the moment …

catfud · 2019-01-15T15:35:53.738Z

ok…I plotted my way out from having ANY red stripes (checkerboard or 2 stripes) and my settlement has come back.
Pain in the behind though

this.

C0ND1T10NR3D · 2019-01-15T15:36:57.056Z

Something is going on with Gellis Prime too. Anni has lost half her prestige for the city. I don’t think she’s gonna be too happy when she logs in.

FireAngelDth · 2019-01-15T15:38:00.408Z

They said prestige wasn’t changed but I’m curious to why I received negative prestige for placing refined lustrous wood @C0ND1T10NR3D

majorvex · 2019-01-15T15:39:26.238Z

Lost prestige, can’t collect coin?, lost part of the settlement name…

C0ND1T10NR3D · 2019-01-15T15:40:34.792Z

From what I can tell, there’s very little refined wood in use in her builds. Mostly brick and stone etc. Definitely nowhere near 1.5mil prestige worth of woods anyway.

FireAngelDth · 2019-01-15T15:41:09.192Z

Yea but it might not be the only block affected. On a list I got off the forums I saw refined gleam as 30 but it placed for 6. Tho one of the devs said refined was never worth that much so I guess I don’t know what it should be worth. @C0ND1T10NR3D

C0ND1T10NR3D · 2019-01-15T15:42:54.365Z

True. However, I’m using mostly all brick and refined Iron in my build and my prestige hasn’t changed a bit. I have a feeling some of her plots may not be in line with the ‘new rules’ and therefore are maybe falling outside of the settlement?

Hopped on briefly before work this morning to check out guilds and chat. Love it! In the process of joining all our beacons to our household guild.

Couple suggestions.

I now need to come up with more plot names than before. Our house is 100k prestige so when I aligned it to guild it became a settlement and stopped being “Fig & Sarquat’s Home - Gellis Prime”. Now it’s “Fig & Sarquat’s Home - Unnamed Settlement (Hamlet) - Gellis Prime”. I ported the beacon name to settlement name and don’t really need a beacon name in this case but understand why others would need it. I’d like an option to blank out the beacon name or something.

Similar thing with a Lego-like tutorial I had set up on how to build gleam trees. The prestige was only 7k before so I had to prestige bomb the basement to get it to 10k for footfall, and now it needs two names. In this case I would opt out of beacon name appearing as well.

edit: I tried blanking out the names which gives me something like what I want, but it makes a lot of the UI screens not as useful since they don’t list settlement names.

This is a first-worldy problem, definitely more important concerns being raised in this thread. Just wanted to make note for future thought. The new guild and footfall changes kind of push you towards making everything a settlement and now we need extra names for stuff.

Where is that?

a13o · 2019-01-15T16:30:42.834Z

It’s in Gellis Prime just NE of the Portal Seekers hub. There’s currently a gigantic santa dumping out snow in the plot next door. He’s visible from the PS Hub platform, so he’s a good landmark. Name of my build is How-to: Autumn Gleam Tree.

They look like tiny trees but gleam is hidden inside which both illuminates the foliage and provides light. Good for lining roads with a more natural look.

It’s only 3 steps to build but I made the how-to beacon as a proof of concept. I hope to one day be able to sell prefabs or bundles with all the ingredients. So you can show up, learn how to make them, then take home some of your own.

Release 211: Empires - Guilds and Messaging++! Releases

Does it work for other players settlements? You could hire out your settlement fixing services

Does seem to work in other settlements so if ps4 players don’t have access to a debug menu then maybe some friendly pc players can help them out.
I can’t even log on currently so won’t be me for the mo but will do it for naught if peeps want help

AeneaGames · 2019-01-15T16:46:24.442Z

New Leyden lost half of it’s prestige, was split in like 5 different settlements, we can’t get it back together. Solved a few spots that could give issues, even removed 1 beacon with 400+ plots and added them to my main beacon, but I keep getting the dreaded bridging issue message on the beacon…

So, fantastic update! So happy I’ve spend 5 hours today trying to fix this stuff and it’s still not. Even spend 40 euros to get more plots still didn’t work. Am out of ideas and fed up. Don’t want to play at the moment…
