Hi Ender_Foo, I have sent to you a forum PM regarding this.

Type /spawn to return to an area above land.

I'm very sorry that we had to remove your tower. We only remove buildings when the builder has not been on in a while (at least 2 months) and the area is of specific interest for another builder to use.

If you would like any resources which had been removed from your tower don't hesitate to /msg me and I'll sort this out.

It has a good mods installed and I like that pvp is on so you can do contests if you want, but people are nice enough to just come up and attack you for no reason like some other servers I've been on. Thanks for creating a nice environment!
Great to hear you are enjoying it, thank you!

Check out the top thread from this post to see how to use area protection. Also, you should store any valuables in locked chests (you should have got one when you joined).

I cannot connect: it says "Couldn't resolve address: Name or service not known". Is the server down, or is it just me?

I think, but I'm not sure, it is problem at your side: it cannot resolve the domain to an IP address.

Making a *bump* to make this thread visible again. This server is too pretty to be so empty :(

I passed by to ask Craigy if it's possible to review some buildings on the server.
Spawn is filled by buildings of users that have been inactive for a long time, that not even file of their last login exists. I think that the server would benefit from clearing some of them for new players to build, since one thing that discourages new players is the difficulty of finding a place to build without building far away from the shops and spawn. I'm willing to remove most of my builds to leave space for others. :)

New players tend to look for easily accessible places for building, yes. But that doesn't mean that existing good buildings ought to be torn down. Better offer a new, easily-accessible place for building, with signs directing the new players there. Kind of a new spawn.
A list of my mods can be found here.

A new spawn would be nice, however, I don't know if Craigy has the time for setting a new spawn (building new spawn house and shops nearby). But, if it can be done, It would be the best option. Also, most of the builds I suggested to him were those cobble/wood "just got started" homes built years ago. Others are buildings that are not attended (such as a micro hotel) or unfinished buildings. Thanks for posting your thoughts. :)

That's a cool server, could you please install backbacks ? and a better crafting guide? and why not unified_inventory?

The first thing I did when joined was to run to desert and begin to hollow up a pillar, It's going to be a fortress :) and it's the second house that can be considered livable, at the moment I'm hollowing out the second floor, I just hope that nobody will find it before I put protection on it...I wonder how many active players are here?

Fast is there for you to run, not to be used with fly. Hold the "use" key with fast enabled to go fast.

ok, didn't know about how to run :)

also mods are clashing...for example I want to make moreblocks:cobble_compressed, but darkage has already claimed that recepie for darkage:stone_brick

Hey jan6 welcome on the server. Although it's a bit quiet on the server lately, you should protect your buildings as soon as possible.

I opened an issue. If you find more bugs just report it on github. :)
Have fun!

IIRC someone built travelnets every 1000 nodes in all directions, so it shouldn't be difficult to find a nice place, also if you want to travel far away from spawn.

I found a glitch, if standing in water, even 1 block deep water, and fast-sneaking then it's possible to rapidly decrease hp so you die, it it doesn't then try fast-sneak and scrolling at the same time, found the dying part yesterday, found the scroll part today, and last discovery, it only works with the node replacer and node inspector, maybe some other things too...it's weird because I'm not clicking, so not using and that means that nothing should happen...

tried to make an issue to original, but probably will be ignored...

This should be fixed now, I changed addresses for the server. Try clearing your DNS cache if this is still a problem.

Indeed, it is a bit of a shame. I have a few ideas to make the word a bit more user-friendly.

If anyone else has ideas for encouraging new players, please share them with me!

Esteban, I still have that list you gave me and I'll work on cleaning the list of those who haven't been online in many months.

A new spawn is definitely an option. Another option is to encourage players to use the travelnets to travel to areas instead of wandering around spawn thinking "huh, no place to build".

What's wrong with the crafting guide at the moment? Unified inventory causes problems for our mobile users (they're unable to craft). I'm not sure whether that issue has been resolved or not yet.


As for active players, we're currently trying to resolve this - see above! :)

jan6 wrote:Is it possible to get fly priv? it would make everything so much easier...since I got fast then I assume it is possible, but when?
This server has been around for years without fly priv for players. It would be a large change as the whole world has been built with walking on the ground in mind. Try fast priv :)

Looks like a problem with minetest, try to reproduce and submit to the bugs forum.

Hey Craig:

Big fan of your server, it's a good setup and I'm having fun as a new player discovering a place with a solid history.

You asked about ideas to gain some activity. Lately I'd been thinking of doing a few build contests, with specific themes and time frames. Figured I'd offer NeuCoin prizes to my favorite builds, just to see if people find those fun (same idea as BitCoin, but meant for games instead of being "real" money.)

What do you think?

That's a nice idea but I'm not sure how players would be able to accept this NeuCoin. Most players are not familiar with "real" cryptocurrency or wallets etc. I'm happy to publicise this by putting signs at the spawn point or something similar.

I'm going to give it a shot: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15130

If there's any interest, I might ask to put in a travel net in with the others near spawn.

The contest is only fun if we can keep it fun, and that's more a matter of people coming together and creating cool stuff.

I'm pretty sure NeuCoins have zero value, so that's why I called it play-money. If people start playing with them then any play-money you earned in one game could also be used in another game: either different servers or different games or whatever.

I'll put up the info tonight and you can check it out.
