Players in Atlas are currently facing a problem: There are hardly any free spaces to build on the official servers. Grapeshot Games is responding with a simple solution.
What is the problem? New players must leave the starting zones upon reaching level 8. They can start building their own base on another island. Shortly after the launch of Atlas, the first complaints surfaced. Even after hours of searching, players found no available building areas.
Patch coming: Grapeshot Games has taken player feedback into account and is solving the annoying problem with the update 10.0. All occupied areas will automatically be converted to neutral zones. This also allows other players to build in these areas.
Claim owners can charge taxes at their claim flag or close the neutral zone. If taxes are collected, other players must give up a portion of their resources when gathering. Update 10.0 will be deployed on our end on Tuesday evening, but the changes to the claims will only take effect on January 9.
This is what the players are saying: The problem is being actively discussed in the Atlas subreddit. User _Moxy writes: “My small group has been looking for a building spot for four days and we find nothing.” EdScrubLord vents his frustration: “The fact that EVERY ISLAND is COMPLETELY occupied by a random group is absurd in my opinion.” Both receive a lot of support on Reddit.
