I'm going to be frank about this because I know how these kinds of "discussions" are usually dealt with. Today alone there have been at least 2 staff members who have made threads about this issue, and several more who have taken part showing support for a change without mentioning any sort of internal discussion. Either these discussions are not involving enough ppeople on staff, are not being discussed at all below the Admin/Manager rank or the staff members don't think their concerns will be taken seriously or listened to without community backing on here. These are also things that need to be addressed. Judging by the general tone in the multiple threads about this issue, I think the community is well past needing "an update" on this as a matter of urgency. There have been enough platitudes like this and generic boiler-plate "we don't change packs" responses given out already.
There are defiantly discussions at all levels going on. However the EMC heavy new packs are...well...new. I'm sure someone will make a final decision soon. Let's all just sit back and raise our chickens humanly, mmmmk? =P
Anyway, here's another staff member posting in an epic thread. As soon as there is an announcement we'll make an announcement. I know everyone wants a clear and understandable ruling on EMC and it is coming. Will it get here before Dude Where's My Blocks? I guess we'll all wait and see.
Oh give or take 4 days from the day of your post . All kidding aside, the update I promised can be found here Happy Looping!
I think we will still have the the same issues on stoneblock to be honest, there are some other great suggestions in this thread, so I'm hoping (for the servers sake) that one of these can be implemented relatively easily by the team
In terms of stress on the server, is a setup with chickens going to be less impact than anything like a blaze rod/dust arrangement? Assuming both are scaled up to the same amount
I think the best way not to impact the pack, is to not play the pack Im sticking to re-playing older packs and im actually avoiding the new(er) servers till they die out a bit more. This will help performance as well
is this still being looked at, I dont think that the rule change around looping has resolved the situation on all modpacks (stoneblock in particular)
The issue revolving around EMC has been resolved, you can now loop to your hearts content, if that still doesn't satisfy your needs then we can try and find another way, but as it was addressed as an issue of all the cool ways to generate EMC were banned and that roadblock is gone.. I'm going to say this is done for now.
thanks, but I think there will still be an issue on stoneblock. there are sone small value loops but as the packs needs an insane ammount the choice is afk'ng for a few months or hundreds of sag mills which will impinge the server for everyone, if even one person does that sorry to keep banging this drum but I think its worthwhile I dont this thread was started to talk about banned loops but as an alternative to dimensions etc
agreed, server is already impacted way more than most packs ive played... there needs to be an EMC solution fast because people keep breaking the server with their crazy setups because they have no other options... or indeed... wait afk for days... fun times!
well in my opinion with how much i broke stoneblock already without using any emc whatsoever i would say stoneblock as a whole isnt stable to be on any server, i legit have a ticket that is gone from sr.mod to me straight talking to SirWill in how badly the pack is broken, like its really really REALLY BROKEN lol
