All Services in Operation

Rollout doesn't seem to have caused any disasters - all scheduled services up and running again.

Server 1.38.6 Deploy - Services Suspended

All scheduled services are suspended until the rollout of 1.38.6 is complete and proven to be stable.

I expect to reactiate all services at approx 14:00 on 26 May

Beta Testing New Route - Inner Atol

UPDATE: Rez-On-Demand launcher now on the pier - launch a tour whenever you like

I have managed to revive about 75% of the old Inner Atol route.
Still testing but feel free to try it.

Ferrry departs from the Boat Zone Rez area in Tuliptree on the hour.

The boat follows a clockwise route and finishes at the Linden pier in Leafminer.
If you follow the path up the hill it will take you to the DPW Mole Mart where you can find various goodies.

Rubber Banding - !

Simon Linden provided an extremely concise explanation of what causes this effect in this weeks office hours: -


Simon Linden: The basic rubber banding is caused by the viewer's prediction code ... it blissfully extrapolates your velocity into the new region, without consideration for any lag on the crossing or obstacles there
When you actually enter the new region and get an update from the server, you snap back to that position

Volcanic Eruptions and Mole Construction Work

Iceland isn't the only place suffering from unexpected volcanic activity....
Some new islands have appeared in Gali-Gali which is at the Southern end of "Mare Secundus"
They have blocked the Sansara route until I can find a workaround.
If anyone knows where "Mare Primus" is located please let me know :)

The DPW Moles have constructed a new pier on Hetrocera Atol...which intrudes onto private land.
I will reroute to avoid bumping into the pier over the weekend.

Server Upgrades - Suspending Services for 2 Days

Server rollout time is with us again> 1.38.4
I will start the boats again as soon as the grid proves it is stable and won't require a "rollback".
