Release 227: Decorative Crops!

AFAIK the buffer plots will not allow a merge

Which is why I am proposing a reservation beacon that could act like buffer plots. It should not be considered a settlement and not part of any settlement thus will not become a bridge of 2 settlements but a fence between settlements

This fence/wall strategy is what a lot of us were doing with extra regular beacons before this last update. No more beacons with buffers or reservations please. That isn’t working well.

Settlements merging without the wardens explicitly asking for it to happen is causing this issue.

Hi I started a thread on this in support as didn’t see your message here but looks like a bug so annoying I hope they fix soon

Updated OP with details of the 227.1 hotfix.

@james

Important:

• Beacon Reservations are now disabled by default.
  • All beacons have had their reservations disabled . The reservations can be re-enabled in the Beacon Control options.
  • All new beacons will have their reservations disabled by default.
• This change was made in response to community feedback. There are lapsed players in active settlements that make the management of the settlements difficult. With the reservations disabled then settlements return to their original state.
• For more details on why we added the reservations and how they interact please read this post.
• We will continue reviewing the reservations in response to player feedback and interactions in the Live universe.

Release 227.1:

• Fix combustion fraction crops being tinted incorrectly sometimes on mesh-deltas when fertilising nearby crops or when nearby crops lose fertilisation status.
• Rotated Kindling Shred item to display properly in Storage and Buying Baskets and on Shop Stands.
• Fix for filter dropdown not attaching to the filter button on some GUI interface scales.
• Reworked heuristic for fixing z-fighting between liquid types to stop it moving the liquid geometry infront of voxels it is embedded within.
• Fix disabling of beacon protection area causing no footfall to be awarded; in general the Surveyor permission being granted will not prevent footfall being awarded.
• Fixed a server crash in the forge which was persistently taking some worlds offline.

Naild it in an other topic. “Taking the forge apart with a screwdriver. And having a short circuit.”

The beacon buffer off by default is good but this was definitely bugging me also

Hello, is there a way to know what will happen if you unplot a specific plot? Can you know definitively before you unplot it if your beacon will reserve it or someone else’s will? If not it would be great if when you go to unplot a plot the game tells you what the status of the plot will be after you unplot (ie it will be reserved by your beacon, it will be reserved by nearby beacon X, etc.).

Also, it would be very nice to have a way to transfer one or more plots to another character in your account. I’m making a shopkeeper character and want to transfer my shops to him but I’m afraid to unplot in fear of a neighbor reserving the newly unplotted plots making them unusable bv me. If I could just transfer my store plot beacons or individual plots to my shopkeeper this problem would be addressed.

When player level glyphs will be fixed? Long time all players looks as lvl 1 player.

This is why there is my screwdrivers in the game!

Are the new seeds for these decorative crops only found on exotics planets, or do you craft them.

[Venom]

All are crafted except sentinnel’s crest. Those are rewards from meteors

@james

• The organic seeds are refined from excess oats, rice, wheat, strawberries and a world’s wild flowers.
• The inorganic Sentinel’s Crest can be found within Meteorites on Elemental worlds.

[aaron5]

Thank you I must have missed that.

Note too on this - I got a couple from a dormant meteorite, don’t know the odds of it happening but it is possible. So that is one option for them - tons fall on the exos it seems, go in a couple hours after the early resource sweepers hit, then sweep the meteorites left in their wake.
