Atm in PO2 normal mode we have had allot of lagg and crashing, this is caused by imense amounts of sprinklers being used. The problem is that right now, sprinklers are the only viable way of crop growth avalible, expecially late game. The largest end game path in PO2 is avaritia, for this you need immense amounts of EMC, so the most viable way to get that is nether star farms with 10/10/10 crops. Since thoose needs the awakened drac under it means growth pulsars and lilypad of growth is out, this leaves mainly 2 ways to speed upp growth, 1: Stand there with a bunch of Harvest Goddess Bands, or 2: Use a crabton of sprinklers. I therefor wonder if activating either of the 2 objects in the title would be a better way of dealing with this. I do not know much about the dark matter pedistal, but from when ive played with the ITB before it caused some server lagg, but never anything as bad as what we got now. Just food for thought.
Showing support for this. Would like to see this happen on PO2 Kappa aswell. As an alternative... Maybe unban the dark matter pedestals, not the timeblock. The pedestals can only be crafted if people unlock the Philosophers stone first. So that makes it pretty hard to start with. Then you could also set a hard limit on how many of them a player is allowed to use. Say max 4 or 8. So people can run a couple of decently sized farms, without breaking the server. If anyone is found going over the limit, you remove them as staff, or even warn/punish the player who didnt follow the max amount.
Maybe change recipe for the time blocks if re-added and remove their emc value? Make them need Neutronoium blocks or something so one can limmit their use to end game farms?
Have you even seen how much stuff you need to make the infinity ingots? Neutrinium are the easy part.
Im currently @ endgame PO2. I made infinity ingots on Kappa server. i know how much you need, but i still dont need farms anymore. Once you reach that point, farms are pretty much obsolete unless you are doing something very wrong.
we are going off topic. thats not what this thread was made for i think. Feel free to come over and see the setup on PO2 Kappa.
