I interpret this the other way, it will require players to actually I daresay work together to overcome an obstacle or two. It would be nice to have a pack where the goal was to work together instead of protecting everything you own from some jerk who logs on to grief. Something that we all enjoy as patrons, we all get along like a big happy family on the patron servers.
yeah but in a high multiplayer environment you are either going to get tons of people ruining other peoples fun, and someone earlier said tracks cause major tps loss. also, minecarts and the such are deleted by clearlagg
So add a rule that griefing tracks is a perm ban from the server. And tracks dont add lag. Ive tested and carts are not that leggy. As for clear lag easy just whitelist the cart and no more problem. Also the pack could have a job where you get paid to lay track to the next mining node? @wyndman Can you think of a way to slowly regenerate ore? Similar to a prison map does? Or how the twilight forest tree slowly turns rock to ore? Also the further you get from spawn the harder mobs get. So you will have to be careful when you explore as everything wants to kill you. Including passive mobs.
this sounds more and more like a factorio mod [doublepost=1547654729][/doublepost]is millenere still in ?
Clear lag does not exist on any of our servers that don't say 1.64. Tracks don't cause lag, they're not really different than say cobblestone they sit there, minecarts might only because they are entities.
Passively regenerate ore.. that sounds like something that would be done with a plugin, the only prison games I've played it just resets the map every so many minutes instead of regenerating ores. Something like what chance cubes does with ore towers is possible in a grander scale I suppose.
Ok, so pack is made and in Alpha status. Stable and launches and some configs tweaked. Waiting on approval from Curseforge (Evidently using versions of a mod that are not on curse is not allowed so I have to wait for the mods to update their before it is publicly downloadable) @wyndman It is ok to post a link to the curseforge page here right?
Ok, so while I am waiting for curse to approve it, here is the pack (Only config changes, no scripts or quests). Also Updated main post.
Most of the TPS effect would be from the players moving from chunk to chunk, minecarts themselves are pretty lightweight as they have very little AI to speak of. The worst case would be a bunch getting caught up together at a chunk boundary, but even then the collision calculations will be no worse than bunched mobs normally are. So, I actually made a mod for this a long time ago. It allows defineable areas to be regenerated over time, at a configurable rate to keep servers happy, and was designed for literally this exact purpose It's not exactly easy to use, but it is stable enough and I can make a more user-friendly UI given a little time if needed. I'll link it here, but I can PM you if it has to be removed for advertising and such.
@The_Icy_One I will look into that. Thank you. @wyndman quests should be in the 0.6.0 update and scripts in the 0.7.1 update.
Hm... I'll try to push the 0.6 out on Friday. As for the scripts that might take a little bit longer as there are a lo of things that need to be fixed.
I can't see why it wouldn't with some support from the players here. Could start it as patron and see how it works with the rails, maybe open a second public node...
