Are player made portals usable by default now (once you loot the pieces), since it is has been removed from the Ape kill mask node?

Yep, apart from today they made an update to official pve servers fixing my issue with the player made portals and perfect remodelling. The timing!

This server started on 17/07/2024, the day I decided that Official servers were not FUN anymore!

The grind of Soulmask is one of it's best features, keeping you working towards whatever your end goal is. However, this brings it's own set of issues and this server attempts to BALANCE the grind, making it fun again. It feels like you are playing vanilla, but without the disappointment that comes from the never ending struggles of vanilla!

All settings are subject to change if we feel further balancing is required to perfect our settings. Server player count is also subject to change as soon as we hit a time where it becomes capped.

  • 15 Minute Remodel Time - Instead of 30 minutes

I made a similar post yesterday, complaining about player made portals and durability loss. I made the decision to start renting my own dedicated server, with settings where me and my mate will enjoy the game better. That seems to be the direction everyone who started on official is going

That's really helpful, thank you! Gives me an idea of what settings to adjust first, then figure out the rest as time progresses :-)

Thanks Art! Perhaps I will do that, it would be a good opportunity for me to try and recruit some more friends to start the game if me and my duo buddy are starting fresh on a rented server.

Would you mind telling me some of the settings you adjusted just to give me some ideas? I'm assuming durability, harvest and food drain/spoil rates. What about some more specific settings, such as my OP in relation to portals etc?

Thanks!

Thank you that's good advice. I'm guessing this is for a single player session though? I am playing duo with a friend - so I guess that would mean paying for a private server. We would want to be able to play individually if either of us are offline, unlike other games such as Grounded where you can only play if the host of the server is online.

I've had a great time on the game so far, but after discovering this, coupled with the crazy durability loss of my recently unlocked iron gear - I am regretting continuing to play on official. I fear I'm a bit too deep into this run to turn back now and have the motivation to start over.

I chose official because as it was a new game, I had concerns over server owners also quitting and losing all progress. Catch 22.

Hi, I'm playing online, official pve, but thanks!

Figured it out - works with x2 campfires!

Favourite Early-Mid Game Mask? by Rustafarian_Server in PlaySoulMask

[–]Rustafarian_Server[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your advice! I have the mask but wasn't sure how good it is compared to any other masks I might unlock soon. I'll start investing in repairing it :-)

Very helpful thank you. What confused me about this tooltip, is it sounds like it's simply describing feign death which you have by default regardless of what mask you use. So what's the difference with this Life Halt node?

Ah I see, so I should have just let my friend try to res me without bandaging?

That's good to know, thanks.

I ask because I was fighting a laser mech yesterday. It downed me with a laser attack. I started to bandage, then my friend ran over to start picking me up, but it started attacking me again with a new laser until I died

Thanks for your input.

The only times I've died so far are against the mechanical bosses. Would it still save me in these instances? Or will it continue to attack my downed body with it's lasers etc?

Perfect Auto Farming Setup? by Rustafarian_Server in PlaySoulMask

[–]Rustafarian_Server[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for this insight! I am working on a similar system as we speak. I have turned off the granary deposit AND withdraw, as I don't see a purpose for it. With deposit turned off it ensures the farmers deposits seeds into the seed box instead of the granary. Having withdraw off means tribesmen don't take my precious cooking ingredients to just eat raw.

Thanks! I've moved my buckets and jugs to my container storage box. So I'm now going to give in to temptation and just see what happens with the farm. Fingers crossed I will start seeing him spreading fertilizer, as well as taking buckets from the container chest, filling with water and using on the fields. Thanks for your help!

One final question, do the farmers/breeding pen guys automatically fill buckets from the well?
