In lieu of recent lag issues on the Ferret server that seem to only be fixed by restarts which can be hours away, I'd like to see a vote restart feature. Players would be able to initiate a vote to restart the server if lag was getting bad and the next restart was a while away. It should have a cooldown of five or ten minutes between vote attempts to avoid spam and require a majority (greater than 50%) to be accepted. I feel like this would help put some of the power in the hands of the players in solving certain lag issues, as staff aren't always available.
Hmmm. It just seems like there's gotta be a better way. I understand what you're saying. I'm just trying to think of ways we can find lag and fix it
I wouldn't want this myself as players could abuse it to troll others on the server, Lets say there are only 9 people currently logged in and 5 of the 9 are friends on a voip, they could cause the server to restart every time it comes online in order to troll the other 4 players logged in. Not to mention I personally agree with chugga_fan as it would hide a lot of the lag issues that could be fixed with some modifications of files by the developers. If we do not know about the problem we will not be able to fix the problem.
this was thought of at the time, this was actually done at one point and was removed due to it hiding MASSIVE problems, we're talking really massive
If a vote reset isn't the answer, what is? everyone says just suck it up, but when the tps is 1.11 you just can't play.
What are some reasons Ferret is even that low on Tps if there are not many online (or is there idk i never played ferret) but if bases are becoming a problem, i would recommend a 2 week warning of bases causing a considerable amount of lag/tps drop then, if the culprit bases are not fixed or reduced in "lag production" staff would have the right to either remove or dismantle all blocks/entities causing lag. Not saying this is the only way, but it most likely will get players to clean up their act on their base setup making it more server friendly. Example of removal: ME/AE2 System is creating considerable lag and has a terrible crafting setup and AE network. Reduced or removed to size of server friendly capabilities. Not saying this has to only apply to ferret but other packs that may be experiencing the same conditions. *cough* *cough* Node 4 infinity *cough*
if you are having tps issues make a ticket and im sure when a sr.mod + is free they will pop on and have a look
AE2 barely plays any role anymore in lag on servers ticketing is the best way atm for getting lag fixed, but people whining about it the answer is make a ticket and wait, because there have been times where the servers have been at less than 1 tps due to some stuff going on, so they shouldn't be complaining
so to sum this up if ppl were less stupid this wouldnt happen also dont moan make a ticket also yes yes he is its what he does here
Please get back on topic of this thread. There's no need for such comments to one another. You're more than welcome to create private message between one another and discuss there. As to the vote restart. As a player and a staff member I have to say that's a hard no. Not only can that be used to troll, but as said above by Lordicon, it can hide tps issues. If you are having such issues, make a ticket via /ticket in game. Or, better yet, come on our public Slack and let us know there. It's easier to catch something causing tps issues when they are actually happening than minutes or hours later and Slack has a direct connection to us staff
I remember when it was active, every so often one player started a vote, and then "do /srv yes to better tps" when the server is 18 tps.
