ok so i was thinking it would be a simple fix to super laggy farms just to make it so chunk loaders stop working after 1-2 hours after the player they are linked to log off... maybe also make it pulse on and off every 3-5 hours for an hour then shut back off... and if the player is gone for say 2 days max make it stay off until they log back in. i feel like it may reduce lag ALOT
"every 3-4 hours for an hour" ok you lost me there but interesting concept also people like to build alot of machines for no reason *cough cough* @chugga_fan *cough cough*
lol i just put that there to maybe balence it a litle bit since people would otherwise just find a way to bypass the idle kick
The gold chunkloaders only work for 24 hours while the player is offline. The system is also designed in a way where loading heavy chunks is extremely expensive, hence this is already balanced in a good way and I don't see any realisticway of doing it better. The additional load caused by chunkloaders usually isn't as bad as one thinks. There are times where we have to disable chunk loaders for a temporary time because they were loading a system that caused the server to crash which did not report the location, or in same cases we even have to reset them. This doesn't happen often but when it does, almost always there is no noticeable difference.
