gavjenks Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 why not just pace world anchors along the turtle's route, but have them hidden? Three reasons: 1) That would require literally THOUSANDS of chunks to remain loaded at all times, doing nothing, which would use up more RAM than all of the people on the server combined, even at peak hours. That is really really wasteful. A turtle carrying two anchors for itself keeps 18 chunks loaded, by comparison, and even then, only when making a delivery. 2) That requires a lot of infrastructure to be built. 3) That is a major security hazard. Just like tubes or turtles that return home, it would be very easy to follow a line of world anchors. You say they'd be "hidden," but they can't really be. They only keep 9 chunks loaded, so the next one over in the chain is going to be less than 30 blocks away. If anybody finds even one, it would be a simple matter to use mercurial eye, for example, change every basic material to wood, and burn it away, revealing the other world anchors, and pointing a straight line to the person's base, as well as your warehouse. And then when they find your warehouse, they can follow the lines to every other base.
battle_bas Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 I'm confused right now. are we going to have a restart or not ? because if not i think i would be very unfair when some of the companies aren't griefed will have a huge advantage against other companys.

We are restarting this afternoon. Yeah following turtles is kinda a major problem, there. Urist McGriefer orders 1 pair of woolen socks, follows turtle, and now has access to unlimited UU, etc. Oh also, Andrew, speaking of locations and security, how do you feel about installing something like worldguard, and then simply making the entire End dimension a "secure" area, available only to mostly-trusted members of the community who have been around for a bit? Everyone else just gets teleported to spawn or something when they set foot there. Just an idea, which would allow us to be a little looser about who we invite as new members, but still having a place to build nice pretty buildings and things without worrying about having to roll back every 4 hours when our nicest stuff gets destroyed. Also, rollbacks wont fix miniblocks and things like that, so having a place like that offers additional security for delicate builds and machiery that rollbacks alone can't offer. If it WERE to be wrecked anyway, you'd still get your basic raw materials back and most of the block positions, but it would still be a good deal of work to fix complex or delicate things, so it'd be nice to have essentially a graylist/whitelist extra layer of trust like that. The reason I suggest the End is that: A) it's really easy to set up a worldguard location that covers all three entrances, and there's no other way to get in. There's no resources (other than end stone) that you can ONLY get from the End, so it's not depriving "graylistees" from doing anything. Only depriving them of a little peace of mind and a place to build cool stuff without hiding underground from griefers. B. I don't like the idea. I don't like restricting anything, and most often, how hard are micro looks to replace.
xchampx13 Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Can i recommend a plugin for the reset? I recommend getting logblock it allows you to see who destroyed and placed blocks, and allows you to see who put stuff in and took stuff out of chests.
gavjenks Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 B. I don't like the idea. I don't like restricting anything, and most often, how hard are micro looks to replace. They're probably about 75% of the actual building time in a miniblock intensive, creative structure... But that's fine. This doesn't have the be the place to build things like that.

This doesn't have the be the place to build things like that. Yeah. The castle I want to build would look really nice with miniblocks, but that would be the last thing I would do, as it takes a lot of time. So I would build the main structure first, maybe put machines in it, then decorate it with miniblocks.

GreenWolf13 Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 i like your profile picture wolf Thanks.
GreenWolf13 Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Server is now LIVE! Good, I should be on in less than 7 hours. See you then! (Hopefully).
andrewdonshik Posted September 25, 2012 Author Posted September 25, 2012 I want one more person to get started.

Well, I don't want to be tooting my own horn here, but if you do get accepted, you should join Minational. So far it is only me, and it would be great to have another person by my side helping me run the best company on the server. So please, consider joining me!
xxmikegigsxx Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 The thread isn't in the server thread for a reason, we aren't accepting anyone else unless you personally know them.
Mooseman9 Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 The thread isn't in the server thread for a reason, we aren't accepting anyone else unless you personally know them. That is still up to andrew though. He might accept, although the answer would probably be no.
Guest Ysharma Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I know you are not accepting requests anymore, but I thought that you were still accepting via invites, I did not know invites had to be on an IRL level, sorry.
andrewdonshik Posted September 28, 2012 Author Posted September 28, 2012 I know you are not accepting requests anymore, but I thought that you were still accepting via invites, I did not know invites had to be on an IRL level, sorry. They don't, it's just that you don't just ask for one.
Guest Ysharma Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Sorry, what is the proper procedure that I should do.
andrewdonshik Posted September 28, 2012 Author Posted September 28, 2012 Sorry, what is the proper procedure that I should do. There is none, if someone says "Oh, you can," you join. Otherwise, you don't.
Mooseman9 Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Can I butt in and say: "Oh you can join!"?
andrewdonshik Posted September 28, 2012 Author Posted September 28, 2012 Can I butt in and say: "Oh you can join!"? Uh, sure, but the final decision is mine to make.
xappulane Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 o/ i see we have a restart. May i be added to Minedustries ?
Mooseman9 Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Uh, sure, but the final decision is mine to make. Alright, well then, I will invite him, as long as he behaves.
