ATLAS

Ahoy Pathfinders!

In our last post we revealed our Season 10 Roadmap to cover some of our goals for the current season. Included in this update are several of those new features as well as some much needed bug fixes. Pathfinders can celebrate the holiday season with some spooky decor and skins, enjoy life at sea with the new Floating Operating Bases, and partake in the plentiful harvest provided by new tameable creatures.

Servers will be going down to deploy the update on Monday October 31st at 1:00 PM PDT. Servers are expected to be back up shortly after.

Ahoy! We do plan on fixing issues as well. You can track our progress by taking a look at our Public Issue Tracker: https://trello.com/b/5h8dPOxE/atlas-public-issue-tracker

Ahoy Pathfinders!

The season has already begun and our path to full release is getting clearer on the horizon. While this ship’s journey is well underway, we still have a few stops to make before we arrive at our intended destination. Our current plans for the season include new additions and improvements to sea activity, the trading system, tame utilization, and single player.

We do understand the current frustration from the community about the focus on introducing new content while there are still existing systems and features that need fine-tuning and fixing. Fear not though! We’re getting closer to being able to focus most of our attention on bug fixes and polishing of existing content. The waters may be turbulent now, but the storm will soon pass, so batten down the hatches and hold on for the ride!

On that note, here are some things to look forward to in the current season!

Get ready for another season of ATLAS! We’re starting off with a new map, Ship in a Bottle, the beginnings of our Sea Fort reconstruction, a whole collection of bug fixes, and several quality of life changes suggested by the community! A large focus of this season will be improving existing game features, so pathfinders can look forward to several changes throughout the season, including; the start of the modular ship design overhaul, a revamped trade system, factions, and much more!

Servers will be going down to deploy the update tonight, Wednesday September 21st at around 7:00 PM PDT. Servers are expected to come back up within a few hours.

With the upcoming season, we have an updated Server Grid Editor (SGE) available for unofficial servers.

IMPORTANT: All unofficial servers using (or plan on using) Ship in a Bottle must set up redis/s3 to store ship data. Direction listed below:

New SGE

To download the latest Server Grid Editor (SGE) click the the following link: SGE download

Ship In A Bottle Configuration

There are two options to set up the Ship in a Bottle info storage, using either S3 or Redis database.

Redis Database:

1- To store the info in Redis you need to add the information for the redis table (make sure the table name is FileManagerDB).

2- You need to add this parameter to the server launch arguments -UseRedisForRemoteFileManagerStorage. This can be done by adding the argument to BaseServerArgs

It was fantastic seeing so many of you listening in on the Live Dev Q&A in our discord! For those of you who were not available at that time and couldn’t make it, we have a written version of the event here for you now. First, let’s get some introductions of the staff in attendance!

H2O-Melons: Hi, I’m H2O-Melons (or Melons for short), I’m the Community Manager for Atlas. For those that might not be familiar with what that means, I am essentially the liaison between the players and the developers. I get feedback from the players and bring their concerns forward to the development team. In turn, you could say I’m the spokesperson for the development team. I publish information and manage our social media accounts.

Red Beard: Hi everyone, I’m the senior designer for Atlas, and the team leader for the design team and development teams.

Weird Beard: Ahoy pathfinders! I'm Weird Beard, former Community Manag...

With summer winding down, we have a new season to look forward to. A new season of ATLAS that is! Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to patch day!

Upcoming Wipe

The final day of the season will be Wednesday September 21st when we will be wiping both official servers for a fresh start. Servers are expected to go down at 7PM PDT and should be back up within a few hours. Unofficial servers are not expected to need to wipe at this time.

A dedicated Kraken Bowl grid will be accessible September 14th - September 21st, so grab your crew and send this season off with a bang! To reach the Kraken Bowl, sail out from Tortuga in any direction across the grid line. PvE players should be particularly cautious, as the zone is PvP enabled for all who enter.

We hope you’ll continue the journey with us as we make our way closer to exiting early access. Thank you for your support and happy...

Ahoy Pathfinders,

This season has been one of the hottest on record and, with its end coming soon, we’ll be refitting the fleet. We’re making preparations and changes for the next season of adventure, starting with our Summer Tune Up!
This maintenance patch is dedicated to fixing many of the bugs and issues that have accumulated over the past few months and hopefully, put Atlas in a manageable game state leading into the new improvements coming in the Fall. What changes, you ask? Well, you’ll have to bottle up your excitement for now but we’ll have more details on the changes coming in our next patch over the next few weeks.
We are always grateful for the support and feedback the community has provided along our journey and hope it continues into the future. With that said, ‘til next time, may your skies be clear, waters calm, and sails full in whichever way you roam.
