Of course I won't simply ban you or remove your post, but I've updated your post and removed some inappropriate words (they really don't belong here)

I can fully understand being upset if someone steals or destroys the buildings you have been working on... but what did the person do exactly? Did he post it in our forums? Or did he place them on the server, too? Maybe the server admin could help you about that.

IDK how permissions are set up on the server, but it's possible for the server to prevent other players from blueprinting creations of other users (so players can only create blueprints of their own creations). I'd really recommend to contact the server admin

Thank you Red.

Full Story

I took a couple days off the game on Wild's Frontiers. A friend IRL was taken to the ER recently and is dying.

I came back on. I have a nice little house I built, and in it i have a cabinet of chests. That cabinet was robbed of all my manufactured and smelted materials, ore, sheets, wires, glass, lumber, etc. I also had chest of tools, including several mining drills I had built because they wear out after each mining trip. Outside I had three sailboats and a RHiB. The RHiB is gone, all the chests in the sailboats are empty, and one of them was actually taken from the boat completely. Plus two to three and one half stacks of each type of ore except iron, and a stack of coal.

I had spent over 160 hours the past two weeks gathering and collecting these items. Fortunately I had my saddle bags with frozen chest rewards in my backpack, for what it's worth anymore.

They missed the chest with skins and fibers that needed to be tanned and spun, or they just left it as unprocessed mats. And they did not go to the cabinet in the loft to get the sulfur and ammo and extra repeaters i'd found.

Bro, I don't know if I should cry for you or be angry because of your abusive behavior. Now I'll keep my mouth shut.

🙈🙉🙊

My post was directed at one single person. Unless you are the one who robbed me, there was nothing directed at you.

As to calling ME abusive, I have been accused of being abusive for reacting with negative behaviors to abusive behaviors, including violence, against me. I have been threatened with jail when my ex-wife (while still married) beat the shit out of me, and I simply grabbed her arm, tossed her onto the king sized bed, and slapped her ass with a single spank to calm her down. I had bruises and cuts, and she had a tiny Chinese feminine body.

I categorically reject the term and concept of abuse or reactive abuse in response to abuse. The victim is NEVER the abuser! Only some pansy assed pussy abuser who could not stand up to whatever he or she was dishing out (probably a she - women abusers of men are the worst).

IMHO - I don't mean to offend you directly, but to only set your mind straight so you can cry for me instead of being angry.

---

I do not tolerate abuse, and when i see it or experience it as the victim, you can bet, be in on some Rising World public server, or on the streets of Escondido, California, if ANYONE aubses me or someone else, you can bet, I will step in and take whatever action, up to and including killing a perp, to stop it. I have lived with more than my share. I may be old, i may be disabled, i may be using a cane, but rest assured, I will not tolerate violence ANYWHERE!

If you cannot accept that from me, then fuckin' hate me.

I don't care.

This is all I have to say on the topic, and if I rejoin the game, this is what you can expect.

I am a peaceful guy. My friends say I am the most mellow person they have ever me.

Until I am fucked with.

All that said - I really don't think I'm coming back. I joined to escape the bullshit of IRL. This has become no better. it only proves what I've believed for the past ten years .... I cannot trust anyone. Ever!

This is probably why I will never really have close friends again.

I understand you're upset, but this has to do with a privately run server not with the game itself and this is definitely not the appropriate place to be putting this.

After 65 years of receiving every manner of abuse you can think of to the point of being completely totally permanently disabled, i've lost the boundaries of what is and isn't appropriate any more, nor do i really care. thanks for your feedback. have it removed - i really don't care anymore. I'm just saying, i won't be fucked with.

To the person who stole all my product on WF...

(insert worst explicative you can think of here)!

You ruined the whole game for me. Best hope we don't meet IRL. I'm dangerous to people like you IRL.

Oh, that's weird Did you place the gramophone after the update (or before the update)? If it still doesn't work, mabye pick up the gramophone (hold F) and place it again.

If it still doesn't work then, please send a report (to do that, open the console by pressing ` or ~ and type "report" - maybe add some additional information like "cannot place record on gramophone", then send the report)

This resolves it, Red. Thank you.

I was unable to place a record on the gramophone..

Awesome!! Thank you for your hard work!

Cannot wait for animal husbandry.....

Like a wide eyed five year old instead of one past sixty four (will ya still need me, ...)

Benjamin (@WF)

so it's not something we can use to plant crops in bulk, like wheat, corn, etc.?

Really looking forward to it! My ranch will love it!

cool. Or remap the Q key in settings?

My GOD! I cannot tell if the toon is shivering or having sex. Sometimes i get both male and female voices. I wanna klll that little pussy!

Get rid of those extremely annoying random shiver sessions, ok??? OR give us a way to slap our little characters into silence.

OMG!! Like listening to porn!

On the flip side of Benji's message about the game helping with his mental health, I can honestly say it helps me with the physical pain of my disabilities as well. I'll get so focused on working on whatever I'm building that I'll stop feeling so much of the pain.....until I stop and then my body says "WTF were you thinking sitting up for x hours you idiot!!??" lol

It's funny that this topic came up today as there was just another new article on Reuters about how video games help with mental health / physical pain reduction.

Really??? I had not seen that! Got a link?

A public message to Red51

Dear Red,

I started playing this game in 2017, looking for something like WoW, but without the "job pressures" associated with guilds and the generally violent nature of those other games. This game stood out to me then as one in which I get to set the rules of play so long as I followed the rules of survival. Your invention of this game is pure genius.

But, Red, there is something you should know about me, player Benjamin (Benjamin's Sanctuary Ranch of WF).

I suffer severe treatment resistant depression and complex post traumatic stress disorder. I have lived through over 60 years of abuse of every kind from family to spouses to employers and coworkers. In 2018, I became permanently disabled by these, involuntarily hospitalized in 2019, and basically living a life in hell on earth.

Sadly, I was unable to play the game for a very long time. The kernel_task on my MacBook Pro late 2017 kept firing off every time I'd play, so it was completely unplayable on my MBP.

Until just a few weeks ago, I found something online about the air intake vents on the sides of the MBP.

Yeah, they were completely clogged. I pulled so much gunk from those intakes, it was no wonder things were getting so hot inside my mac. In fact, I had been wrapping it in four bottles of ice to try and keep it cool. I thought I needed a new computer. I was wrong!

Since Christmas 2024, just a month ago, I started playing this again. kernel_task has been behaving extremely well, and the game has been, for the most part, very playable for me. All I need now is an external graphics card and I could go all in on video settings!

But the biggest thing that has been happening since I have been able to, well - to be honest - fully immerse myself in the game. I even joined the Wild Frontiers server to play with others. Adventure with others, that is.

And the result of this has been a significant reduction in symptoms of TRD and CPTSD! Almost completely free of the pain!

Red, this game is saving my life, literally.

I would strongly suggest marketing to the mental health professionals as an adjunct to therapy. Yeah, it takes me from the real world completely, but who cares? Have y'all seen the real world lately?

So I'm here to tell you, and to testify for you, that Rising World has the capacity to heal severe emotional trauma-related issues. I have been nearly symptom free for weeks now.

Thank you so much for all the work you have put into this game over the past decade, Red.

Ever Exploring New Worlds,

Benjamin

There is something that causes the seedlngs/seeds to rotate and twist. Very annoying.

But, to correct, press Backspace and it will orient the plant you are holding to the correct up-ness.

I thought it was because of my PS5 controller but even without using it, plants still get 'bent'. Sometimes they bury themselves.

This is really sweet! Bravo!

Quote from FioO

No, not a rotating blue light but rather a rotating light where you can set the desired color yourself. How could I not have thought of that right away. 😅

Use a paintbrush on the rotating red beacon - viola - Your K-Mart Blue Light Special is ready to go!

Things like bamboo posts, grass, thatch, palm leaves walls, ceilings, thinking Gilligan's Island, African safari villages. Structures not as solid, material "flow" in the winds. Deliver in fronds, sheaves, etc. Would have to harvest from the fields and forests for materials. Add bamboo trees. Also be able to construct tents of canvas, like a M*A*S*H tent, with sticks and sheets of canvas.

I have to say I am pretty uncomfortable with the bikini myself.. LOL. Well - actually I'd like some western attire from like the 1850-1880's (think Tombstone). Camo outfits of various patterns. The rag clothes are great also. Stuff that would have actually have been worn in say 1500's to 1800's (I don't care so much for modern day stuff, which is why I play the game). Perhaps parkas and hawaii shirts? Safari wear - khaki slacks, shirts, jackets, hats - Aussie style would be amazing. Choosable of many different patterns.

Here is a new home I built recently. You will love the fine details in the construction of this two loft steep A-Frame peaked roof with mossy covering. A built in ladder helps get to the peak for maintenance. All indoor workbenches, oven, three large smelters, a grinding wheel, grinding stone, and just a lot of neat little extras.

You will need a very flat space, with a small "one block" drop in the back. Comes equipped with a manhole to cover a mine shaft.

I hope you enjoy this little dream home of mine. Woodland_Hideaway_Home_1737502798.blueprint
