Testing Required New Chunk Loader System on Regrowth, Agrarian Skies 2 and Galactic Science

Seems my maths have failed me xD Thanks for the clarifications.

 

Can't get tickets in Galactic Science spawn - the sign is there, but the spawn protection doesn't let me click on it.

 

Seems like it works in @Regrowth! Just 1 question... Can you add a 3x3 on the offline (gold block) chunkloader?

 

If 3 chunks are staying as the limit to offline loaders I doubt a 3x3 option is going to be added.

 

Okay, I got the tickets, I placed down the block of iron, I get the GUI. Now, if I choose 1x1, 3x3, etc. - nothing happens. Gold block at least gives me feedback that 3x3 area is too much.

Edit: Galactic Science server, of course.
Edit 2: waited for several minutes, after choosing the 3x3 option - ticket count doesn't change at all.

 

How many tickets will we be getting per vote when that goes in?

 

The one thing I've noticed so far that I don't really care for is that cost for keeping your online chunk loader goes up the longer you keep a single chunk loaded. While this is fine for most things, on Regrowth, where only the chunk you're in is active at full speed, I like to keep most of my base in 1 chunk. This means that eventually it's cheaper to load everything around my base as well. And being near the ocean means that I'll start getting lots of squids spawning.
Is there some sort of hard cap for how high the price will go?

 

Tickets are in form of database saved currency or Item?
Can tickets be traded / sold?
Ticket multiplier based on Donation Rank?
Tickets on rank ups?
Get some starting tickets when deployed to all servers based on ontime rank?

 

might i suggest that you can also use a normal tipe of fuel, but you cant use the same type for more than an hour at a time? and cooldown for each fuel is 3 hours, so you would have to setup some pretty elaborate systems in order to fuel it, possibly only have 1 active at a time at maximum?

 

i see, thats a fair point on all accounts, and it's nice you dont want to force people into only your launcher, but im fairly certain most of us use it anyway to keep up to date with your servers

 

not entirely right. you should be able to use a e.g. trapped chest for the plugin. Make that your chunkloader and just place the fuel inside.
Nobody is using trapped chests anyway.
There are lots of market plugins where you actually have to setup ur market with chests, same code could be used here.
If you want to implement it. ;-)

 

i agree with knoxz, that chunkloader system would probably work, trapped chests just give off redstone when opened, so not useful for anything exept traps like "oh you put your hand in my chest, have some TNT!"

 

I use trapped chests. They turn on my sorting dump chest extraction.

Also they are a good way to place chests side by side.

Please don't assume nobody uses them.


P.S.
The reason I use trapped chests is that they emit the redstone signal is that way my extration pipe is not always running. Saving on server recourses and all.

 

you could just use iron chests and a lever for those things , their functionality is not as great as one might think

 

The point was for people not to assume that something is not used just because they don't use it.
